SOIL ADAPTED FOR FRUIT.
A Scientific Study Is Now Being Made
Of the Soil Of ). w. Missouri.

A Scientific Study Is Now Being Made
Of the Soil OF ). w. Missouri.
An important thing to Missouri fruit
growers is the soil survey now being
made in this state. The investigation is
being carried on by the Ucited States
department OF agriculture in co-opera-
ton with the Missouri experiment sta
ton at Columbia. Already the work
has begun aud West Plains is now the
headquarters Of those having charge Of
tho investigation, which IL begun there.
II is proposed by tae experts to mako
a careful study Of the soil formation and
the physical composition Of the portions
OF south Missouri where fruit growing
has reached its highest developments
with view in the first place of deter
mining the character Of those soils and
other factors that render this section so
well adapted to the industry of fruit
growing. After this preliminary survey
1t is planned to map the uudevelope1
fruit areas OF the state, and show what
portions are adapted to fruit and what
are not.
1t has been claimed that a large por-
ton OF the land 10 the south part OF the
state is useless. Just because much Of
it is upland and rocky many say the
land cannot be used for anything.
Look at the fine fruit farms in Howell
and Oregon counties that are found on
tho flint hillsides. They produce peach
es the flavor Of which will equal the nee
tar Of OF the gods
The survey will be thorough and at
different places tho soils found will be
examined to depth OF several feet.
Samples will be taken to the laboratories
Of the government experiment station at
Washington and tho states experiment
station at Columbia. Subsequently the
facts found will be distributed by bulle-
tin.
j. 7. Flippiu Of the department at
Washington is 10 charge of the party tn
tiO"Fll NOulAs huh ri pNb'ko W. wv
ker Of the Missouri experiment station
will join tho men 10 few days. At the
present time Mr. Flippin is 10 the north
part Of tho county making examinations
and he will visit every section OF this
county before going TO other parts.
The result OF this investigation by tho
government will prove of untold benefits
to this section OF the state. 1t is being
made 1T the time when the trees are
loaded down with peaches, and the
apples trees, plums aud other fruits
are equally AS plentiful. When the 70
ports are scattered boradcast over the U
s. the attention Of the outside world will
be attracted to the LAND OF tho Big
Red Apple and tho Home .of the Lusci-

GERMANY WANTS
 FOREIGN ANIMALS
Pressure Brought to Bear to
 Have Frontier Opened
REGULATIONS TO0 STRICT
Beef Now Retails at A Cents a Pound and Other Meats Are Proportion
 ateiy HIgh--5ottIed-Up
 Policy Has Failed.

Berlin, October S1.-Increasing pressure is being brought to bear on the govern ment with the object of opening the frontiers for the importation of foreign animals and a relaxation of the regula- tons created to exclude the meat ex- ports, or for something which will afford relief from the excessive prices of meat which have now risen to levels which are prohibitive for the laboring people, and which are seriously affecting the resources of middle class families. The magistracy of Berlin, for instance, in a petition to the government, says that if the prices of meat continue as high as they are now, the salaHes of the city employees must be raised. The petitioners also say that the expense of the muni- epal institutions have already increased s75oOOO during the current year. which Is attributed wholly to the higher price of meat
 Beef retails at A cents a pound, and other meats are approximately high. The wholesale prices in the German mar ket are from 15 to 25 per cent higher than in those of neighboring countries, hence the people who advocate government ac- ton assert that the scarcity of animals is due to tho closed frontiers, tile Ger man farmers being seemingly unable to raise enough animals for their country's 8 requirements.
 Carl Marx. of Frankfort-on-the-Ma Main, chairman Of the National Butchers asso- citation and J. H. Schmaker. head master of the Hamburg butchers guild. had a lengthy conference with Agricultural Minister von Podbielsh. They pointed out that the butchers. though selling at high prices are unable to make as much profit as by larger sales and lower prices. The entire trade. therefore, asked for an alleviation of the conditions that limit the consumption of meat.
 Herry Podbielski recognized fully that the present situation was intolerable ana he expressed the hope that the German farmers would soon be able to depress prices through an announced supply of animals. Should this not take place, he added. the government would consider the adoption of remedies.
 Home Secretary Podadowslxy in the ReIchstac. during the meat debate, af- firmed that the farmers were able to sup ply the eountrys needs. and this state- ment Is taken by the Felischer zeitung, as nearing that the government has all ready reached the conclusion that no ac- tion is necessary.

KING DID HAVE A CANCER.
Was Treated With x-Rays By pr. Bacl<er, Who Afterwards Died.

New York. october Sf.--According to medical periodical which will be Issued here tomorrow. a letter has been receiv- ed from the London correspondent of the paper to the effect that the death of Arthur Barry Blacker. on September 10 in London. disclosed for the first time the fact that King Edward was treated with x-rays sixteen times last spring for a rodent ulcer at the foot of the nose. This was prior to his abdominal crisis which delayed the coronation. The let ter says:
 ''Dr. Blacker, who was just 40 years of age, was one of the pioneers of the light treatment in this country and had they1ast year or two held the position of superintendent in the x-ray department in London hospital. To his obscurity he owed the honor of being chosen. The king had a small rodent ulcer near the root of the nose which was successfully dealt with after sixteen applications.
 By strange irony of fate the physi- elan himself fell a victim to cancer in the very moment of his success. He was attacked by epithelioms of the axilla. Amputation at the shoulder joint was thought of but the disease spread so rapidly that the idea of surgical inter- vention had to be abapdoned.''
