Farmers Apply to Agricultaral De- partment for Information and Show Readiness to Accept Suggestions. Frederick V. Colville, botanist of the Department of Agriculture, has submitted his annual report to Secretary Wilson. It contains much information in regard to experiments with seeds. Mr. Coville says that in his last annual report the need of trial grounds in connec- uon with seed tests was emphasized, and late last season-a small beginning was made in this direction on the department grounds. This year no space could be spared for this purpose, and a tract of about half an acre of truck soil of the region was secured at Kensington, Md., about eleven miles from Washington. Two series of trials were made, one a simple test of all varieties of peas and beans now on the market, the other a seed experiment with peas. The sced selection experiments confirmed the results of last year, obtained in the green house, that large heavy peas Produce an earlier and a heavier crop than either unselected or small peas. The report states that_the satisfactory result of the trial grounds maintained at Kensington during the present season showed that the permanent possession of such ground would many times repay their cost. The opinion is given that nothing could more enhance the value of the de- -partment’s sced distribution than a trial ground test of the seeds it is proposed to distribute. All large seed estabiishments maintain such grounds as a necessary part of their business equipment, and by this provision the repetition of many of the mistakes heretofore made by the depart- ment in the distribution of seed, could be Prevented. Furthermore, the command by the department of a trial ground would be of great general value to agricultural science, leading, as it necessarily would, to a scientific study of field crops. The de- partment would be enabled to keep, as it should, a record of all the new plants it Gistributes in the form, not only of the sample of the seed, but also of an authori- tative specimen of the plant itself, grown in the trial ground and suitably preserved for future reference. Judging from the large number of letters received by the department asking for in- formation about the cultivation of new or little known crops, the farmers of the country are ready, in view of the general- ly lessened profits on staple farm products, to follow any promising suggestions made by the department in this drection. As a beginning of an effort to mect this demand an investigation has been undertaken of the subject of chicory cultivation. This country imports about $250,000 of chicory rcot per annum, which is used as a coffee substitute and adulterant. There is now every prospect that chicory will be made a profitable farm product in the United States, and that this amount of money will go into the pockets of American instead of European farmers. Tests as to Weeds. After the transfer of the national herba- rium to the National Museum building, the importance of creating at the department « reference herbarium of economic planis be- gan to be appreciated. During the past year the beginning of such a collection has been made by preserving a full series of best specimens of all varieties of peas. and beans, grown on the trial grounds, besides 4 large number of seedlings of miscella- neous agricultural plants drawn from green house germination tests, a series of weeds collected in the vicinity of Washington or received from correspondents, and a series of poisonous and medicinal plants obtained in the same way. The work relating to weeds has been car- ried on along essentially the same lines as heretofore by the preparation of circulars and by an extensive correspondence. A cir- cular on wild garlic, a very troublesome weed in pasture and wheat fields east of the Alleghenies from southern New York to North Carolina, was published early in the year. Other circulars were issued. Another case of damage by a plant, the obstruction of navigation in a river, has been investigated during the past year. The plant known as water hyacinth, a na- tive cf South America, cultivated for orna- ment, fountains and ponds, had escaped into the St. John’s river in Florida, where it had propagated itself with wonderful rapidity. ‘The division of botany assumed the task of making germination aud purity tests of all the seeds distributed by the department under the specific appropriation for that purpose. As all seeds falling below the standards of vitality were retested under various conditions, so as to remove any Pcssible doubt as to the correctness of the result, it was necessary to make over 5,000 tests, in order to ascertain the value of nearly a thousand varieties of vegetable seeds, and about 150 varieties of flower seeds. The report states that, by a modifi- cation, if practicable, of the system of pur- chasing the seeds, so as to secure all of one variety in one lot, the cost of testing would be much reduced Investigations in Progress. Reports on the following topics are now in preparation: The general subject of clo- ver seed, the chemical treatment of seeds to aid germination, the germination of im- ™mature weed seeds and the standards of purity and germination. The division makes tests free of charge to farmers, seedsmen and investigators, and conducts a large correspondence on this subject. The correspondence of the division con- tinues to require « large amount of time. During the year some 2,500 inquiries have been answered by letters, in addition to several thousand answers by the sending of circulars or other reports prepared for such purposes. One important subject of botanical inves- tigation, to which attention has been hith- erto called, is that of natural agricultural belts or areas as indicated by the natural vegetation. It is well known to most farm- ers that certain kinds of timber are indica- tions of certain agricultural capacities of the soil. It is believed that a critical study of ihe subject will bring out facts capable of praz- tical application. None of the present as- sistants, the report states, can be well spared for this investigation, and it is de- sirable that steps be taken to secure the services of an additional assistant, compe- tent for the work. —_—_—_—_-o+____. DEATH CHARGEABLE TO FOOT BALL Indian Pupil Fatally Injured Return- ing From a Game. Victor Seneca, a pupil at the Indian School, and brother of Isaac Seneca, right tackle ox the Carliele foot ball eleven, died last night from injuries received while re- turning from the game at Philadelphia last Saturday. The Pennsylvania railroad train, which carried the redskins, full of joy for their strong showing against Pennsylvania, was crossing Girard avenue bridge, Phila- delphia, when Seneca ‘put his head out of a@ window and was struck by a telegraph pole. He feJl back unconscious and it was feared that he would die on the train. At Downington a rail: Physician was taken on the train, but the young Indian regained consciousness only for a few minutes. Then he sank into a stupor and continued so until death came. He was eighteen yesrs of age, belonged to the Seneca tribe, and had been at the school several years.

A dispatch from Havana last night says: At the solicitation of Senora Emilia Que- sada, widow of Senor Arteaga Quesada, Captain General Blanco has pardoned her son, Julio Quesada, a nephew of Senor Gonzalo Quesada of the Cuban junta at New York. The young man was under sentence of death. Seven insurgents were tried by court- martial here today, and fifty-three insur- gents were sent to the penal settlement on the Isle of Pines. Marshal Blanco has issue¢ the following ict, officially describing as “expressing the sentiments of the queen regent, and the firm determination of the national goverrment:” ie 5 “I pardon in full. all those who have been prosecuted for the crime of rebellion.
