RAILWAY MAY

WOULD PUT STOP TO ROBBERY
OF ITS EMPLOYEES
Los Angeles Company Has Detectives
at Work and Offers Rewards
Ageregatlne $500, With
No Results

Employees of the Los Angeles Rail-
way company soon may go armed to
protect themselves against the attacks
Of highwaymen. During the past
week officials have been considering
the advisability of such a plan. The
robbery of conductors when their cars
reach -the-way places along the
lines have become frequent.
Rewards offered for the arrest and
conviction of the perpetrators have
brought no results and the detectives
who have been put upon the cases have
failed to bring in more than suspects
1--WE have been considering the ad-
visibility of arming our employees,
said Howard p. Huntington. general
manager of the Los Angeles railway,
yesterday afternoon, land the question
is being thoroughly discussed.
"There are many things to be taken
into consideration, however, before
such plan is adopted. We have some
thing like 800 employees on our various
lines and to provide them with re-
volvers would mean no small expendt-
ture on our part. question to my
mind is whether it would be worth the
expenditure; simply because the high
wayman has all the best of the game.
He knows what is coming, while the
conductor knows nothing until he finds
himself facing the muzzle of revolver.
Then we do not know the temperament
of the men whom we employ, and arm
ing them might lead to indiscretions on
their part in case of a dispute with
passengers These are some of the
things which in the past have made
us loath to arm our motormen ana
conductors, although l am under the
impression that some of them have
permits from the chief of police to go
armed
'If action on our part will do any
good these robberies must cease. With
every winter we expect a certain
amount of them because the city fills
up with many people of this class.
Hold-ups are more frequent this year,
however, and we are anxious to make
an object lesson of some of the perpe-
traitors if they can be captured.
1--WE now have reward of $3.50 out
for the arrest and conviction of the
men who held up the Westlake car
December 10 and we have decided to
offer the same amount for the capture
of the men who were instrumental in
the Pico Heights hold-up last Sunday
night"
Superintendent J. J. Akin, when
when asked what the company had
done to stop the robbing of the con-
ductors on the Los Angeles railway
lines, said:
1--WE have done everything except
arm our men. At present we have out
detectives. but the highwaymen seem
loath to hold up the conductors if
there is anyone else in the cars and
j will have to admit that this move
thus far has not been a great success.
What these men are doing in secret
work 1 do not know, but these high
waymen leave few traces behind them.
Do think it is an organized gang that
is at work? L hardly think So 1t is
probably some of the more daring of
the large class of hoboes that every
winter, pay Los Angeles visit"

Repulsion Of eorers.

The trouble that has been caused By
both kinds OF borers Of recent yeari
has led to the use OF many kinds of
paints and dressings on the trees to
drive away the beetles that lay eggs
that produce the borers, There has
been great deal of discussion among
horticulturists as to what will drive
away the borers and yet not injure
the trees. Some OF those that have
been tried with a good deal OF sue
cess are soaps and heavy lyes, to
which enough carbolic acid is added
TO give an offensive odor. Professor
Atwood of the Virginia station says
that he has found It advisable TO paint
the tree trunks with pure white lead
mixed with linseed oil. As this Is simply
white paint ready for application.
there is no question that It will stick.
In case of its use. however. II would
seem advisable to scrape off the rough
bark of the trees. especially the por-
ton within two feet of the ground.
Some use coal tar products, but these
often injure the trees. II is not advis.
able, therefore, to try them.

Aeldlty Of Plant Roots.

II has long been question as to
the manner In which plant roots take
up food from the soil. The very great
rapidity with which plants grow
would seem to indicate that the root
of each plant exudes some kind OF an
acid that has the power to set free
latent plant food. This has been so
firmly believed that II has become an
accepted tenet with many agricultural
students II will be interesting TO
many of these to learn that expert.
mentors in Italy have demonstrated
beyond all question that the tip OF the
root does eXude an acid. II was found
in Italy that when blue litmus paper
was placed In contact with the points
OF the roots of sugar beets the paper
at the point where II came in contact
with the roots changed to a red color.
This could be due to nothing less than
the diffusion OF an acid. Its present
value in agriculture Is considerable, as
II gives us some information relative
to the availability of plant food In the
soil.

The Punotures in Soft Fruits.

It has long been believed that the
bee is the great destroyer OF grapes,
peaches. and plums by puncturing
them and starting them to rottlng.
Many a time bees have been seen
drinking the sap exuding from such
punctures. II has taken a long time
to exonerate the bee from this charge.
It Is now found that most of the in

bugs. Professor Garman OF the Ken
lucky station took up this matter and
set watch to find which insects were
puncturlng the grapes, peaches. and
plums. He found two varieties of tree
crickets working vigorously at night
cutting holes in the fruits named. He
expresses the belief that these crick-
cts are the chief culprits in punctur-
ing thin-skinned fruit One variety
of June-bug was also found engaged
In the same business. Many OF our
hcrticulturists and bee men will be
gratified to learn of this new evidence

Roots Of plants.

For long time the roots of plants
have been studied, and the longer the
study Is carried on. the more surpris-
ing are the results, All the theories
as to how plants should root have
been destroyed by the actual facts
being brought to light Thus. II has
been assumed that plants that bear
pods and are assisted by tubercles
on the roots to gather nitrogen from
the air would be rather shallow root
ers, but would have large root
system. On investigation, we find
that this is true in some plants and
not true In others. There seems to
be as great a divergence of processes
OF roofing In the legumlnosae family
as In any others. Thus the alfalfa
plant sends down its roots to an inn
40 feet. The clover root also goes
deeply. often and 4 feet, while COW
peas and soy beans have very small
root systems. The clover will have
three times the amount of root that a
COW pea OF the same volume will have.
When corn plants we're dug up. all
the roots being saved, 1t was found
that they had surprising volume OF
roots. Corn has always been consid-
cred a surface rooter. II sends out
its roots near the surface, and II was
known that II sent down other roots
as far as the depth of the plowed soil,
generally seven or eight inches. But
when roots of the corn plant were
followed, II was found that they went
down as far as four feet, and that they
ramified through the soil in all direc.

Mixed Earminn.

The surest way to keep up the
fertility of the land is TO follow
mixed farming. This makes a ro.
tation Of crops possible Rotation
Is not possible where only one crop is
raised. The one-crop farm Is consid.
cred the lazy mans farm, but not all
the men that have one-crop farms are
lazy men, In mixed farming the
owner OF the farm has something to
keep him busy the year around He
does not have TO lose half his time
waiting for the time to come when he
can look after his crop. The man
that follows mixed farming finds Il
possible to keep up the fertility Of
his land without great effort.
