AGAINST M'NALL.
Judge Williams Uphods the Insurance
Company in the Kansas Controversy.
The Judge Says McNa1 should Have Issued
the Company a License, and Is Or
dered to Do So Now-Attor-
ney-GeneraI May Act.

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 2S.-Actinp
United States Circuit Judge John A
Williams, in the United States court
here. yesterday granted the prayer of
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New
York asking for an order restraining
Webb McNal1, state insurance commits
s1oner, from in any manner in interfering
with It's business operations in Kansas
and compelling him to issue to said
company license to do business in the
state. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Boyle was,
with McNal, made a defendant but
he was practically left free to do any,
thlng he pleases except to help Nc
Nall to deprive the Mutual Life of its
asserted right to do business in Kan
sas. While Judge Williams decided
that McNa1 shall issue a license
to the Mutual Life Insurance Co..
he did not compel him to do so
In any specified time, and as he
gave the insurance company the license
of the court to do business, regardless
OF McNall, it is possible that the COM
pany may proceed to do business with
out asking for the license. If the,com-
Pany, through its agent, goes before
McNall, presents the fee required
by law and demands a license
under the order of court, Nc
Nall will positively refuse, and
Ihen the clash between the state
and the United States court will
be complete. Judge Williams would
then imprison MIR. McNau for con-
tempt, and the latter would go to Jail
until his attorneys can go before the
supreme court of the United States
and get out a writ of habeas corpus.
BY this method a final decision can
be reached in 80 days, whereas an
appeal could not be heard short
of three years, at which time
McNan would probably be out of
office. In the meantime the quo war
ranto case of Acknowledgement BOYLE
to GUST the company from doing bust
ness in Kansas, the justice and legal
lty OF which have been recognized by
Judge Williams. could be heard in the |
supreme court of Kansas and a deci- |
sion rendered by that body that may
justify the position taken by McNan. |

There is a widespread impression
that there is some secret in the Guilt
walton of mushrooms, that the whole
procedure is shrouded in mystery,
and that the mushrooms have even to
be grown in midnight darkness. This
is an entire mistake.
Mushrooms are easy to grow and
beginners are often as successful as
those having experience. The same
conditions necessary for success in
other branches of agricultural activ-
ity, viz, good materials, interest in
the business, intelligent management,

small amount of decaying mulching
to the organic matter in the soil.
1t probably causes the nitrifcation
of the organic matter already in the
soil more rapidly than nitrogen is re-
placed by the decaying mulching.
The conclusion would be that it is
an eXhausting process. The plan has
been followed to some extent in old
groves of no cultivation whatever
simply cutting down the grass and
weeds, once year, applying fertili-
ger and leaving it on the surface to
be worked in by the rains. This is
certainly a cheap method but L don't
know about final results.
The method quite extensively fol
lowed at the time Of the freeze, is to
keep the ground clean by frequent
cultivat ton from the first working in
the winter until the summer rains
commence, then allow crab grass and
beggar weed to grow through the
summer blowing them under in the
fall after they mature. This plan in
creases the store of nitrogen in the
soil, gathered by the beggar weed
from the air-also builds up by sup
plying organic matter.

and persistent application, promise
success in mushroom growing.
Mushrooms are winter crop, and
apart from the preparation of the
manure and making the beds, they
are a clean crop to handle. Much of
the work can be done as well by
women as by men.

Remedy for the harlequin Cabbage
Bug.

Last year one-third of the inquiries
relating to insects received by the
writer were in regard to remedy for
the Harlequin cabbage bug. The in
quiries we're received throughout the
summer, while the best and, in fact,
about the only good remedy should
haev been applied in April.
To those vino may not be familiar
with the appearance of this insect,
I would say that it is the black and
yellowish-red oval insect that sucks
the juice of the cabbage. 1t is found
all through the south and in many To-
calities north of the Ohio river. 1t is
becoming more and more an injurious
insect, as it seems to be increasing
in numbers and distribution.

NOTICE..

The Morgan Spading Harrow adj
vertised in another column has been
in use in Florida orange groves for
several years and has given great sat-
isfaction.
1t is perhaps, the nearest to a COM
plete substitute for the pillow in an
orange grove, to any cultivator in use,
at the same time having all the adj
vantages of a pulverizing harrow
While it is valuable in all systems of
of cultivation, it is particularly valua-
BILE where much grass is allowed to
grow.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-05-05

One objection made to this method
if valid, applies to most others, but
only to bearing groves. 1t is that
working the land at the time the or
anges are setting causes them to
drop.
Another objection is that we some
times have dry weather in August
and September, while the grass is still
green and evaporating large quanti-
ties of moisture.
Another objection which applies
particularly when there is a heavy
growth of crab grass, is the difficulty
of blowing in the fall. And still an
other objection which applies to all
the other methods except mulching is
that the ground is left bare to bleach
and waste during the fall and winter
months.
What would seem to be the most ra-
tional method, is the following:
Commence cultivation at any con-
venient time during the winter or
early spring, keeping the ground
clean during the dry spring months
or until about the time for the sum-
mer rains to commence, then let
grass and beggar weed grow at will.
If a dry time should occur in July
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-05-05

or August after the grass has become
heavy, NOW it down leaving it on the
ground as partial mulchihg.
If the second growth becomes very
rank NOW again later. In the fall
after the grass is dead and somewhat
dry run over the ground with the har-
row, just enough to knock down the
grass and mix dirt enough with it to
prevent fire from running through
the grove, then let it rest until the
next seasons work commences.
This method results in building up
the land in perhaps the best and
cheapest manner, by the increase of
humus and nitrogen and by keeping
the ground wholly or partially shad-
ed for more than half Of the year.
1t partakes of some of the advan
tages of mulching without it's objec-
tions-in that it keeps the soil from
bleaching and wasting from the time
of leaving off cultivating in the sum-
mer until the commencement in the
spring. Benz. N. Bradt.

Remedy.-Destroy the bugs which
live over winter when they first ap-
pear in April by gathering them into
bucket containing kerosene. They
will be found upon mustard, cabbage,
turnip, radish, and related plants. If
a little care is taken to gather and
destroy all the bugs that can be found
early in the season, no damage will
be done by them later.

Whatever your past held of or wrong;

And sit by old tombs in the dark far TOO org.
Have you missed in your aim? We'll the mark shining
Did you faint in the race? Take breath for ths next.
DID the clouds drive you back? Sac yonder tie lining
Were you tempted and fell? Let it tor text.
AS each year hurres by, let it join that procession
o. skeleton shapes that march down to the EAST,
While you take your place in the lirc CT progression
With your eye the heavens your face to the Blast.

For any sad soul while the stars revolvc
If he will but stand firm the grave of his errors
And, instead of regretting, resolve, resolve.

Though all into ruins your life seems hurled
For, look, how the light of the New Year is gliding.
