Sheen Among CROWNS Corn.


1t is the practice of good farmers
now to cultivate both corn and pota-
toes much longer than used to be
thought advisable. The reason is that
the modern cultivation is shallow and
does not disturb the roots. But where
a piece of either corn or potatoes is
weedy a few sheep may be put into the
field after midsummer with no dan
ger whatever that they will injure the
crop. Almost any other stock will at
tack both corn and either the potato
tops or roots. Sheep will not eat either.
Usually only the ram was put in some
time in July, and was not taken out
until the corn was ready to harvest.
After corn is cut sheep will attack the
corn ears. While it stands they seldom
do this.

So far as possible the farmer ought

who is about % years of age. was dressed
as a workman.
He had on overalls and carried tin

The check was signed by S. ii. Chase

fremont then went o the grocery store

Secretary Alger Now Claims
Work at San Pedro
Must Wait.
" The Call" offered to Publish
the Advertisements for
Contracts.
Hoped to Remove the Obstacle Set
Up by the War De-
partment.

To The CALL correspondent at Wash
ington Secretary Alger has given the sur
prlsing information that there IS no
money available for work on San Pedro
harbor during the present fiscal year. 1t
seems there is no money, even, TO adj
vertise for bids to perform the work when
the appropriation bee available.
In this condition OF affairs the work at
San Pedro will be delayed until late in
the coming summer, if not until next
fall. The new fiscal year does not begin
until July l, and then time will be re-
quired to advertise for bids and let con-
tracts before the construc ion is under
taken.
The only way 10 expedite matters un-
DER these circumstances is to advertise
for bids this winter, so that contracts may
be let in time for the work to commence
as soon as the appropriation is available
at the beginning of the fiscal year. To
enc bic the Secretary of War to do this
l HE CALL offered 10 run the advertise

tary.

Mr.. Loomis says the managers of the
shelters promised to put the smoke
consumers in use after the buildings
were completed, if the farmers would
not interfere with the progress of the
work This was agreed to, but the
companies have failed to redeem their
part of the pledge. Now, it is pro

use of smoke consumers. The measure
provides a fine of 500 for the first Of

ayers of smelters refuse to pay such

by a paper published at Lancaster,
Penn, Representative H. A. Keefer of

'SecOnd-Kansas produces more than
one-fifth of all the food products of the

feeling of unrest everywhere exhibited,
but here first crystallized.''
