'Less the Tariff"
From the Washington Star.

The proposition propounded last Satur
day in the House by Chairman Payne, of
the Ways and Means Committee, in his
dissertation upon the Sugar Trust is likely
to spring into popularity as brain -teaser.
According to his acknowledgement, the
Sugar Trust buys its raw materials abroad
from the planters at the prevailing market
rates, ''less the tariff imposed at Amer
lean ports The trust can do this because
it controls the American market, and no
planter can possibly sell a pound of raw
sugar here save to the trust. Thus the
trust is able to dictate its own terms to the
foreign seller, as it is later able to dictate
them to the domestic purchaser Of the re-
fined sugar. Now, it is marked feature
of the sugar trade that the trust has never
failed to fix its retail price by adding to-
gether the cost of the raw sugar, the cost
of refining, the normal profit and the do
nestle tariff tax. The last named item has
always been justified by the trust as repre-
senting one Of the burdens it is forced to
carry, which it is, of course, always willing
to pass along to the consumer, there being
no competition. Thus, as the case stands,
the Sugar Trust profits doubly by the tariff
on raw sugars, getting the material abroad
for lower rate in proportion as the tariff
is increased, and selling it at home for
higher rate in the same proportion.

Special Instructions for Treating
Trees Infested with San Jose Scale.
By willis G. johnson, State Entomologi

By Willis G. johnson. State Entomologist.
The following Circulars have been sent
out by the Maryland State Horticultural
Department, Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, College Park, Nd.
|. If the tree is badly infested, and too
far gone to save by system of treatment,
grub it up by the roots, trim and pile wood
and brush where it stood, do not burn wood
or brush, at least, until after mid summer.
Nature has some natural enemies at work
upon the scale and these little friends must
not be burned. If brush is piled, the
scales ALL die in few days, the little
friends escape and concentrate their attacks
upon other trees where the scale exists,
and where it has been overlooked. Scale
cannot possibly live upon twig or piece
of wood cut before May Is. 1t spreads
only when the young appear, which is be-
seen young crawling on trees, during open
warm weather as late as Dec. 10; but such
late individuals could not possibly survive
the winter, as it would be practically i'm
possible for them to cover themselves with
the scale-like covering.
2. If the tree is only moderately infested
prune it as much as possible, saving every
branch and twig, and piling them in some
place in or near the orchard
3. Then spray peach and plum with a
20 per cent. mixture of kerosene and water
and pear and apple with 25 per cent. mix
ture. Spray thoroughly using a combina-
alton kerosene and water sprayer if posi-
ble
4. If you have an ordinary sprayer you
can use whale oil soap in water at the rate
of 2 pounds to a gallon, before the buds
open. Use good grade of caustic potash
whale-oil soap, and apply when warm.
s. Crude petroleum can be used also,
and should be applied before the buds open
At all times keep a close watch on your
orchard and if tree looks suspicious send
me twig by mail without delay.

FLYING TRIP ACROSS CONTINENT.
Record Breaking Run of a Train
Carrying Carnegie Director from
California to Pennsylvania.

DENVER, COL, March 29.-With a
special train rushing across the continent,
the Santa Fe is trying to break all its
records in order that A. r. Peacock, one
of the directors of the Carnegie Steel
Company, may arrive at Pittsburg in time
to attend the annual meeting of the direc-
tors at noon on Saturday. The train left
Los Angeles at 10 o clock on Tuesday
night, and passed through La Junta at
11.3O last night, making the run of 1856
miles in twenty four and one-half hours,
and on to Dodge City, Kan, 2o3 miles, in
1872 minutes. The next squirt was to New
ton, distance of 167 miles, which was
made in 163 minutes, making over 20
miles an hour in spurts on the run where
the conditions favored such speed.
KANSAS Cry, March 29.-The Santa
Fe special train reached Argentine, a sub
urb of Kansas City, ten minutes before
noon today, and at 1908 pulled out for
Chicago. The actual running time be-
tween Dodge City and Emporia, Kansas,
241 miles, deducting stops for water and
fuel, was 242 minutes The run from La
Junta, COL, to Emporia, 443 miles, was
made in 444 minutes, actual running time.
PrTTsBURG, March 30.-A. R. Pea
cock. Vice President and General Sales
Agent of the Carnegie Steel Company, who
made record breaking run across the
continent, arrived tonight, making the
journey from Los Angeles to this city,
2731 miles, in seventy-6ve hours and four
minutes The cost of the train was over

Fall Of q Mountain Peak.

A remarkable natural phenomenon has
followed the recent series of earthquakes
that shook the southern end of California.
One of the giant spurs Of San Jacinto peak
has fallen, with its millions Of tons of earth
and rocks, into the valley beneath, and
where the valley was is now yawning
abyss. Seemingly the valley has sunk
hundreds of feet into subterranean cavern.
This peak was 4, 900 feet above the sea
level.
The debris of the peak lies partly on the
valleys side, IL miles southeast of San
Jacinto. 1t is tumbled mass of earth,
600 acres of trees and rocks, with immense
crevasses and streaks running zigzag in all
directions. There are jammed peaks OF
sandstone where hills we're 1orn asunder
there are slanting precipices.
In other places are great funnel shaped
holes, where the soil was sucked into the
interior of the earth, and crevasses scarcely
six feet across whose depth the eye cannot
fathom

Charity Giving in New York.
From New York Sun.

From New York Sun.
1.-The real charity in this city is known
only to the men who handle the funds of
the various charity societies, said an agent
of one of them. tWe have on our lists
people who send us checks every year for
amounts ranging from $500 up te 5 500,
and if | should mention their names you
would probably not recognize them. For in
stance, there are two sisters who send us
81, 900 each every year. We never hear
of them except when they send their con-
tributions. During big storm of last
winter each of them sent check for an
additional $500. They have been send
ing this society money for years, and as
sumo that they contribute to other similar
societies. There are hundreds of others
in New York who voluntarily send the
regularly organized charities money, and
who shun all credit for their generosity.
In fact if their name were made public
any more conspicuously than in our annual
reports, they would seek some other chan
mel for their charity. Unfortunately for
OuT oUCiCtJ anu ObhCio AhC W liC uCliaiido
for help have been just as numerous this
winter as last, but the weather has been
mild and our donations have been compar-
atively small A little bitter cold weather
would have greatly helped the charity 50
cieties. 1t would have stirred up wealthy
people to give more literally. There are
a good many people in New York whose
every gift becomes known, but as rule
their donations are not as large as those
made by people whose names are never
known in connection with charities. 1t
took the public long time to discover that
Cornelius Vanderbilt gave many thousands
each year to worthy poor aside from his
public donations The organized charities
knew it, and they knew also how cautious
Mr.. Vanderbilt was in distributing this
money. His agents investigated each
case and the recipients themselves did not
know whom to thank for the help. 1t is
indiscriminate giving that hampers the or
ganized charities and does more harm than
good

From the New orleans Picayune.

from the new orleans f1caiyune.
1t may prove matter of surprise to
some that Mississippi has a 500, 900
poultry farm. Here is the proof: ssThe
second largest poultry farm in the United
States, says the Bay -Waveland Com
mercial Pamphlet, ''is located fifteen miles
from Bay St. Louis; 5000 laying hens ply
their avocation, 1900 ducks and as many
turkeys are portion of the enterprise.
Twenty to thirty 600 and 800 egg incuba-
tors are in constant use. This alone de-
monstrates the success of the poultry enter
prise" Commenting, the Sea Coast Echo
says: s'When the pamphlet in question
was being prepared it was rule to make
no exaggerations, and no statement that
could not be fully substantiated upon in
vestigation. The poultry farm located at
Bryant's, on the Louisville and Nashville
line, was established some few years ago
at cost of 500, 900. 1t is one of the
greatest and most interesting poultry farms
found anywhere. Imagine place where
eggs are gathered daily by wheelbarrows
full. -

What HBachelor" Means.

Few words have more curious defni-

students who had taken their degree.
Successful students were crowned with
laurel berries, the Latin for which is bac-

lowed to marry, for fear the duties of hus-
band and father should interfere with their
literary pursuits So finally s'baccalau-

COTTON.
New York Oct. 9.-Sentiment on the
Cotton Exchange was decidedly bullish all
day, but in view of the near at hand
Government report concerning which
opinions greatly differed few traders had
the courage to operate confidently. More
over the presence of cold wave along
the Northern border of the cotton belt
led to fears of possible frosts in the east
ern States tonight. The market started
steady in tone with prices two points
higher to four points lower, this being
a favorable opening considering the I'M
satisfactory character OF LlVerpO0l caDleS
and the heavy port receipts. Before
midday January had been pushed to 10.11
and still later rose to 1915 on a bad
scare o shorts, together with brisk in
vestment buying later based on the belief
that tomorrows Government report will
show the lowest average crop condition
on record. Whereas Europe soln on the
first call, cable orders later called for
the purchase of liberal amounts of Jazz
uary and March cotton. Prices were sus-
tanned by pessimistic crop accounts. high
er prices for spot cotton in the South and
a better class of advices from spinning
centres. Prospects of further cold rains
in the Atlantic States had some weight,
as did the claim that State agricultural
reports showed the crop outlook to be
the worst in many years. Some holders
took profits in the last hour under which
selling the market went off to about the
opening figures, and closed steady with
August points lower and other months
unchanged to three points higher.
