Louisiana Crop Pest Commission Is
Pleased With Recent Experiment.

Louisiana Drop rest COMMISSION IS
Pleased With Recent Experiment..
San Antonio, Tex, Sept. 5.-Col. B.
w. Marston of the Louisiana crop pest
commission has just returned from an
inspection of his work at Lockhart, be-
ginning on the 9th day of last April,
and watched by him to date. He brings
stalk of cotton from the Purcell farm,
near Lockhart, which he intends to
send to Governor Lanham. The stalk.
or rather the top of it, has twenty
well-developed bolls, comparatively
free from boil weevil damage.
This stalk is from a cut of cotton
dropped down by the hail in Lockhart
in May last. 1t has been poisoned
five times with paris green. When it
was first poisoned, Col. Marston says,
it was so badly invested by the weevil
that it promised to make nothing. The
cut is now averaging about bale per
year.
On the Purcell farm, he says, is an
other cut of cotton planted after the
hail in May which has been poisoned
four times. 1t has from one-half bale
to two-thirds bale per acre of matured
cotton, and is full of blooms and maxi
ing vigorously. None of the cotton
surrounding these cuts have any cot
ton, and all the fields around them
have failed.
Colonel Marston considers these
demonstrations possibly the best which
have been made in Texas this year, and
thinks in connection with the work Of
John Schuchmacfer of LAGRANGE, w.
d. Kyser. of Marlin, R. Fl. McCampbell
of Hebronville, John Shanks of Cureo
and his own works at RoclSport and
I,ockhart, it settles the boil weevil
proposition.
The work done at these places are
facts Colonel Marston says no longer
theories and the whole state is invited
to visit and inspect these works. They
demonstrate, he claims. that a full crop
of cotton can be made in the weevl-in-
facted districts of Texas in spite of the
boil weevil

Chicago Leader Urges Men to Continue
the Strike.
Chicago, Sept 5-.The return to
work of the $500 strikers in New York
city will have no material effect upon
the general situation in the stock yards
strike, according to President Donnelly
Of the butchers union. In an address
Sunday afternoon before an audience
composed of five thousand strikers and
their friends Mr.. Donnelly declared
that despite the desertion of the New
York members of the union he would
make no change in his plans to tie up
the meat industry of the country this
week.
".rhe action of the New York strik-
ers, who are said to have voted to de-
sert u.s. said Mr.. Donnelly, was not
entirely unlocked for. Their grievances
were not as great as ours, as they
quit work merely in sympathy with the
butchers union, Before next Saturday
night l expect there will be fully fifty
thousand more workmen involved in
the struggle and the product of the
New York plant will not break the tie
up planned for this week. 1t has been
predicted by many that the strike
would be called off before Sunday, but
we are still in the struggle and will re-
main. 1t would not be fair to you if l
called the strike off. You empowered
me to start it and you will have to in
struct me by general vote to end it.
Let no one be discouraged if the fight
seems to drag along We will be all the
stronger and will secure a better set
tlement if we stay out for seven or
eight weeks longer

Forty Horse Power Gasoline
Engine Used by One Man
In Northern Iowa
MAKES QUICK WORK OF GRAIN
Divergence of Opinion as to the De-
STABILITY of Stacking Grain or
Threshns from the Shock Stacking

Rural Notes.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Nora Springs, Sept. 5.-A forty horse
power gasolene traction engine pilot
ing huge separator over the country
at lively clip is one of the sights
that greets the eye of one driving
along the roads in this vicinity these
days. 1t doesn't tarry long in any one
locality, the owner evidently feeling his
responsibility in the task of getting the
extra good crop of small grain that has
been harvested here safely into the
bin. The writer recently saw twelve
good sizeG. straw stacks within a radius
of two miles and was told that the
above mentioned outfit threshed them
out in three successive days.
A large portion of the small grain
raised in this vicinity is threshed out
of the shock those who practice that
method claiming that it is more eco
nomical and just as safe as stacking.
One farmer who never stacks his grain,
presented an argument in favor of this
method that seemed unassailable, but
when in conversation with man lit
tie farther up the road who had
dozen symmetrical stacks in his yard
he stated that last year he sold all
the straw he had to spare at a good
price to some Of his neighbors whose
grain, straw and all, rotted in the shock.
there seemed to be two sides to the
controversy.
A noticeable popularity in shock
threshing here is the absence of the
pitcher in the field They have de-
cided that he is nuisance and so each
hauler pitches his load into basket
rack" clinbes up and drives to the
machine. Farmers say this method
has been adopted in order to check
the visiting tendency which was some-
times carried to an extreme point UNI
der the old plan.

A new thing in farm machinery is
being introduced here, which, like near
ly all the late inventions in it's line,
is all right for the large farmer, but
Of little benefit to the one who grows
only small acreage of grain. 1t is
a contrivance for elevating either born
or small grain from the wagon into the
bin. The machine is placed in such a
position that the wagon can be backed
to it, down an incline, leaving the front
end highest. The endgate is then re-
moved and the grain unloads itself in
to the elevator. A six foot section on
the upper end of the elevating trough
can be run at an angle like a swing
ing stacker distributing the grain in
every part of the bin. Those who have
used it say it does the work of two
or three men and an extra team. The
apparatus Is run by a small power
driven by horse. Another method OF
elevating grain in an overhead bin was
the use of Il large box into which the
oats was shoveled and elevated via
the haymow into bin, using rope and
pulley. Asked as to the efficiency of
the arrangement the farmer using it
said it was nuisance.

WOULD DIG HOLE 12 MILES DEEP
Suggestion Of Prof. Parsons Start,es
Men of Science.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 5.-Expei.;-
ments to be tried in the Washington
monument by officers Of the geological !,
survey to try to determine the CON-
pressiveness Of the earth's mass, has
awakened widespread interest in scien.
tific circles. Coming as it does on the
heels of project preached by Charles
Algernon Parsons of England to bore
hole twelve miles into the earth, the,
scientific world has much food for
speculation.
Prof. Parsons estimates that to sink
a shaft twelve miles deep would cost
$25,000,000, and that it would require
eighty-five years to accomplish it. This
shaft, cut down into the earth, would
represent the equivalent of hole one
foot deep in a mass 666 feet thick 1t
would solve many questions that the
scientific knowledge Of the world has
left unanswered, yet it would investi-

victed of larceny, but when the in
sanity board pronounced her unbal-
anced, Judge Day would not sentence
her. He permitted Rev. c. w. s'avidge
to try to reform her, but the minister
was unsuccessful, as Bertha was once
more caught stealing money from the
pocket of a man whom she was solicit
ing to buy church tickets, and she was
again taken into custody. Mr.. Savidge
and members of his church declare that
they will try their influence over the
girl again, as they believe that If she
is surrounded constantly by good in

sinful life.

Exporters and Eastern Shippers Were
Active Buyers and Export Grades

Chicago, Sept. Seattle = Receipts
today were considerably smaller than
expected and met with keen demand
at much higher prices. Exporters and
eastern shippers bought freely at 100
25 advance on last weeks prices. Best
steers showed less advance than good
beef and export grades.
Traders generally expected small
run today, most estimates ranging at
10000 to $4,000, tho some We're of the
opinion that receipts would total close
run is entirely out OF the question at
this time, and shippers should by all
means endeavor to spread their contri-
buttons thru the week instead of
punching stock here on one or two
days.
Long distance telephone, calls from
shippers in Iowa and Missouri We're
quite frequent in the exchange build
ing Saturday, owners of cattle desiring
direct information relative to the
strike situation here. While traders
were advising the shipment of strictly
choice fat beeves, owners of common
and medium kinds were generally told
to hold such at home, as present in
dications do not point to much i'm
provement in the demand for this
class of offerings.

Good demand from shippers and

and prices were 5 % 10 higher. After
early activity. however, the market
turned dull and trade dragged and at
the close there was considerable coarse,
heavy stock left.
A total Of only 1851 head of feeding
sheep and lambs were taken out last
week, against 42,617 head the week be-
fore and 1906 head one year ago. This
indicates that packers and shippers
have bought on about as large a scale
tho general receipts are 10000 smaller.
Values of choice lambs have held
about steady, but good kinds are lower
and medium to common grades have
had a sharp break, owing to exclusion
of city butchers from the market on
account of the strike. These common
lambs have sold comparatively well
since the Packingtown tieup, specula-
tors slaughtering and making hand
some profits OH them, but when that
buying influence disappeared they were
a drug. Sheep trade has held up we'll

There was a good demand at steady
prices, the request being equally di-
vided among local buyers and packers
and shippers. There was particularly
strong demond for feeding stock for
ewes and lambs Cessation OF strike

ulating effect on the shipping trade.
