Nebraska Paper MaVes Pertinent Re marks on Oregon Election. The Nebraska State Journal "sizes up" the defeat of the equal suffrage amendment In Oregon In the following emphatic manner: The failure of the suffrage amend ment In Oregon will be a great dis appointment to tho champions of the rause everywhere. And the reason for the failure must be attributed to the natural depravity of man. A strong fight was waged In Its fa vor. Brainy speakers from all over the country were there In force, end the wlkln rang as it never did be fore.

One Plant on Every Space Six Inchc Square Means 171,210 Plants Per Acre. ' The Texas experiment stntlon at Brar.os, has Issued a bulletin on alfal fa culture from which the following Is an extract: The quantity of any seed which Is necessary to be sown to the aero de pends obviously upon several factors, the principal of which are the number of plants desired upon the land and the number which will germinate In a given sample. In the first place, alfalfa plants should be rather thickly set. Allowing one plant to every six square Inches of surface, there would thus be 174,240 plants upon an acre. A sufficient quantity of seed must be shown to supply this number, after allowing for all that do not germinate and for those which are destroyed by Insects, animals and other means. Estimating the number which will be sown In 20 pounds per acre by actual count of several ounces, the average Is 2,200,000 seed. This num ber will allow about 12 seed to fall upon every six-Inch square of ground In one acre. This li apparently great ly In excess of the actual need. t New Movement In China. Berlin, June 28.
