That Disease-Proof Hybrid
Lettuce.
Lettuce.

In our paper of February Z, we quot
ed, from an exchange, an article which
described a very wonderful disease
ticle which we found in the last Practi-
cal Farmer, that the writer of the item
was describing what ought to be, not
what is now in existence.
Every gardener who is growing hot
house lettuce (sO-called), even if only
on a small scale, for his own use, must
take a deep interest in any effort being
made to produce lettuce variety
which will escape the ravages of dis
eases when grown under glass. In
the Grand Rapids we have a variety
that is less subject to fungus diseases
than our forcing head lettuceS, but it
is just the close-heading sorts that our
the loose lettuces of the Grand Rapids
type. | have the following interesting
letter from the chief of the Bureau of
Plant Industry, Department of Agri-
culture, Washington, SO Self-eXplana-
tory that l can give it without further
comment:
Il have your note of December 10Th,
asking for information with reference
to the newspaper announcements to
the effect that we have developed a
disease-resistant lettuce by crossing
wild types with our cultivated forms.

The Mans Fault.

The Jacksonville Metropolis in discussing
conditions in this state, makes center shot
when it says:
eff a not thrive in Florida he can
not anywhere, and it is not the country that's
at fault, but the man."
The accuracy of this well put statement can
safely challenge the closest investigation, and
when you hear a abusing Florida because
he has failed to get along well here, you may
be sure that Florida is entirely innocent, and
that the cause of failure must be sought else
where, generally in the man himself. Good
judgment, energy and persistence win out in
Florida every time, for the opportunities and
resources are here in abundance to quickly
respond to the touch of those influences The
man without this indispensable triple equip
ment has right to blame the state-the
shortcomng is his own.-Live Oak Democrat

through our greenhouses, and after
seeing some of the labels, cOncOcted the
story which has gone the rounds of the
press. For four or five years we have
been interested in the subject of de-
veloping new lettuces. As a matter
of fact we have been working along
this line. one way and another, for the
last ten or fifteen years. | have made
many trials of forcing lettuces from
all over the world, with a view to
securing types more suitable for our
Eastern markets. As you know, our
Eastern markets demand good solid
head lettuce, one of light color with
leaves that can be used for decorative
purposes. Unfortunately, nearly all of
the White Seeded Tennisball strains
are subject to top burn just at the
critical time; that is, when the head
begins to fully develop. The Black
Seeded Simpson and its offspring, such
as the Grand Rapids, are not affected
in this way. They are not, however,
Il heading lettuce, and would not sell
here Three or four years ago we
made an attempt to cross lettuceS.
Our efforts were at first failure, but
later Mr.. Geo. w. Oliver succeeded in
crossing great many different types.
We now have the results of these eros
ses growing under glass and have been
wedding out the undesirable forms for
three or four years, growing three or
four generations a year. Our most
promising cross is one between Grand
Rapids and Golden Queen, the latter,
as you probably know, being a small,
light-colOred, well headed variety.
-Four or five types have been secured
in this way, and we now have house
40 feet long and II feet wide, filled
with three of our best forms. We are
not ready yet to distribute seeds, and
will not be ready until we are certain
that our types are well fixed and we
nave something little better than
varieties i'm existence today. There is
a great deal of material sent out from
Washington with reference to our
work which is wholly unauthorized
and often misleading. Our labora-
,orIes and greenhouses are open to the
public, and Washington, as you know,
IS IA Mecca for writer's of various
xmas. The story of the immune let
ruce has gone out all over the world,
making it necessary for us to write
many letters explaining our work

A COLD WAVE
Summer Weather in Mississip-

west Suffers.

St. Paul, Jan. 22.-The lowest tenn
perature today in st. Paul was de-
grees below zero, according to the
local weather bureau, drop of
twelve degrees since yesterday and
thirty-four degrees since Saturday.
The coldest weather yesterday was
at Prince Alberta, Canada, where the
mercury ranged from eighteen to
twenty degrees below zero. Appear
ances indicate that the crest of the
cold wave will reach st. Paul tonight
when it is due to warm up some. The
entire east from the Mississippi val
ley is basking in almost summer at
mosphere, and heavy rain is falling
in the Mississippi valley as far north
as Grand Haven, Mich. Temperatures
from 81 at Pittsburg to go at Buffalo
and higher farther east are the rule.
The extreme cold in the northwest
and warm temperatures farther south
have worked havoc with the tele-
graph wires. No communication had
been established between Chicago
and other eastern points and the st.
Paul Office of the Associated Press
up to 1890 this morning owing to
broken wires incident to the climatic
changes. The cold wave is gradually
moving eastward and according to
the weather Office unusual conditions
will prevail there before long.

occasion of the first anniversary of
the killing of the strikers last year
when they attempted to present

Red Flags In Boston.
Boston, Mass, Jan. 22.-It is an
nounced that red flags will be carried
in the street parade of the Russian
societies of Boston tonight preceding
a public meeting in Faneuil Hall in
commemoration OF Bloody Sunday"
There appears to be no law on the
statute books prohibiting the carrying
of the red flags and it. is not probable
that the police will interfere unless
the revolutionary emblem provokes
disorder. At the Faneuil Hall meet
ing speeches will be made in each of
the different tongues spoken in the
Russian empire.

ming east from here hundreds of miles
of wires in the aggregate were down
and dispatchers were having most
anxious time in moving trains. The
result was that practically all the
trains due in Chicago from the east
were from two to five hours late to-
day and there was little prospects for
immediate improvement In the situa-
ton. Great trouble was experienced
this morning by people who used elec-
trio lines in the outlying sections of
the city to reach their places Of en-
ployment. Lines were with few ex-
cepti0ns out of business and it was
impossible to reach any place except
on foot. The great steel mills In
South Chicago were barely able to
muster enough men to operate all OF
their departments early In the day and
after. to add to other troubles, the,
north side cable, which was the main
dependence Of the people living in

roads failed, also broke down. At.

MEETINGS ARE QUIET.
No Serious Demonstrations Of, Social.
lists at Berlin. 3T''

(: Berlin. Jan. 2.-The socialist meet
ingsl held here today passed off with
complete quiet. The halls, which ware
filled to overflowing, were closed by
the police half an hour before the
speaking commenced. Strong resolu-
tions of sympathy with the Russian
revolutionists were passed and pro-
tests against the present tripartite
suffrage system in Prussia were
adopted.
The police had taken extraordinary
precautions to prevent breaches of the
peace. Extra forces of policemen oc-
cupied rooms adjacent to. the halls
where meetings were held and were
in readiness to act on a moments
notice. They had also prohibited ac-
cess to the galleries of the halls for
the reason that in case of an outbreak
it would be difficult to dislodge the
rioters, who would have the advant-
age of firing on the police from above.
4, The speakers urged the crowds to
retire from the halls in an orderly
manner and to go quietly to their
homes. This advice was obeyed to the
letter. There was no attempt made
at street demonstrations.

whether the army and navy officers
In the Philippines or members Of the
Philippine commission owned land on
December LIST last or since then

sought also by the resolution. Secre-
tary Taft in response gives the en-
tire commission, whose statements
are appended, a clean bill of health.
Three Filipino commissioners were
important land owners before they
were appointed to the commission.
They have not acquired land since
their holding Office however.
Taft informed the senate that to

luton with respect to army and navy
