JOINT TRAFFIC AssocIATIos.
on the Case Concluded in
Supreme Court.


Washington, Feb. 25.-The argument of
the Joint Traffic Association Ease was con-
Guided in the United States Supreme Court
to-day and the case was taken under ad-
vlsement.
Ex-senator Edmunds and Mr.. Phelps
appeared for the associat tom and Mr..
Richards for the government.
Mr. Edmunds dweit at length upon the
Importance of proper cooperation Detween
connecting lines and said the. agreement
complied fully with the Legal requirements
concerning them.
Mr.. Richards, in closing the argument
for the government, spoke Of the vast IN
terests involved, saying that on the one
side thirtyone of the great railroads, rep
resenting $2,5O0,O0OOO0 of capital, were ar
ranged against The public.
Mr. Richards replied to Mr. Carriers con-
tention that an agreement for the re-
straint of competition was not a re-
straint of trade, asserting the contrary to
BE- true He argued that if rates are held
even up to an Insignificant extent, the
change is to that extent restraint upon
trade. He a.so took issue with the asser-
ton that the interstate commerce act was
intended to prevent competition. It was
true that competition might result in the
idlluIC VI SOfIl0 EdllTOdOS out InlS was
chance which railroad men must take as
others must in other lines of business. The
lowering of prices was generally regarded
as benefit and il was not to be expected
that the government would step in TO pro-
tect the railroads when it did not protect
others. The United States could
not undertake to guarantee that all rail-
roads should become paying enterprises.
The traffic associations agreement wipes
out all competition by leaving it to a CEN
trail authority to make rates, thus taking
that power from the individual lines. The
Interstate Commerce Commission could not
prescribe rates and it was not reasonable
that the railroad should be allowed to con-
stitute tribunal of their own with that
power
He said to give railroad associations the
power to fix rates would be to render them
so obnoxious that the public would not
tolerate them. The pooling of freights and
divisions of earnings was not prohibited in
the interstate commerce law, because bad
in themselves, but because they were only
means to the end OF preventing the stiff
ling of competition.

DR.. Grigran, of Augusta, was the first
doctor who had her case. He doctored her

doctored her most all the time. but when she

USE THE HARROW MORE.

At this season of the scar there is a
tendency, resulting from the rapidSeyap-
oraton under the influence of drying
winds, to tue formation of crust upon
cultivated fields. This is especially true
of lands deficient III humus. 1t is not
always practicable to use the plow to
destroy the crust. The harrow may be
used at an earlier stage of the growth of
the crop than the plow. Indeed. it is
often desirable to use it before the
plants vogetate in order to break the
crust formed upon the surface of the
soil and to admit air, which is necessary
for the vigorous termination 'of tho
seed
For such use the teeth Of the harrow
should be inclined backward at an angle
of 45 degrees. In this position they
simply pulverize without dragging trash
or seriously cutting the roots Of plants.
Any one who will harrow in this way
part of field as soon as practicable af-
ter each rain, leaving the crust to form
upon the balance, will soon be con-
vinced of its efficacy.
During recent visit to some of the
best cotton counties of the. State we saw
many fields sadly in need of the harrow.
The economy Of the use of the harrow is
readily understood when we reflect that
two mules and driver, with four Sec
tions of smoothing harrow, will pull
verize space Of ten feet in width,
while the man and mule with the small
sweep or side harrow only covers one
foot

PROTECT THE IRISH pOTAToHs.

The striped Colorado potato beetle is
already busily depositing eggs upon the
vines. In short time these will hatch
and the work of destruction will COM
mence. AS soon as the young beetles
hatch they crawl to the bud of the plant
and feed first upon the most tender parts,
but If not promptly destroyed will in a
few days eat the leaves from the entire
Plant.
The young are SO unlike the parent
beetle that they are not recognizable as
her offspring. AS soon as the young
beetles hatch the vines should be
sprinkled with Paris green. Some re-
commend spraying, but as very few
farmers or amateur gardeners possess the
spraying apparatus we recommend the
method which we have practiced Success
fully Tor the last three years, Mix thor.
oughly heaping table spoon full of
Paris green with two quarts of -four or
air-slaked lime. Put this into thin
flour sack aud tie the mouth Of the sack
ON the end of stout stick four feet long.
Pass along the rows and shaking the
sack over the vines dust enoush of the
mixture upon the plants to give them a
slight whitish appearance. It is really
not necessary to dust the poison upon
the vInes-not affected.by the young bee
ties. If a rain washes the powder from
the vines re-dust them.
