The solution should be sprinkled over
the oats with a sprinkling pot. Use
about one gallon to one bushel of
grain. After the grain has been
thoroughly stirred it should be left
in pile for two hours.
Where it is desired to treat with
hot water proceed SIS follows: Dip
the oats, which may be placed in a
gunny sack, in water heated to a
Temperature of 1872 degrees to 1873
degrees F. They should be kept in
the water for about fifteen minutes;
II the temperature is lower the time
must be extended, but if it be raised
to 145 degrees a five-minute treat
ment is sufficient During the treat
ment the oats should be lowered and
lifted in the water several times.
| Where steam Is available the hot
/ water treatment can be easily per-
formed, as there is no cost for
chemicals. A considerable bulk of
water should be used and the tenn
| perature must be kept uniform,
which requires some skill on the part
of those doing the work. 1t is nee
essary to have a thermometer to
/ guage the temperature OF the water.
This treatment has the disadvantage
Of wetting the oats and making them
difficult to handle through the grain
drill, but If they are placed out in
the sun for a little while they will
quickly dry off. While this method
Of treatment requires some labor
and time it is undoubtedly efficient
for all kinds of grain smuts IL the
work is properly done.
By means Of any of these three
treatments the loose smut OF oats
may be destroyed on all grain intend
ed for seed. This will result in an
increased yield of ten to twenty per
cent, and prevents the spread OF the
disease over Overwhelming areas of
land from year to year

SECOND DISTRICT REPUBLICANS
Postmasters and Other Ofice-HOlders
Organize a Taft League.

POstmasters and Other Ofice-HOlders
Organize a Taft League.
From the Albany Herald.
A Taft League" for the Second
congressional district has been or
gained in Albany today by we'll
known republican politicians.
The postmasters of the principal
towns of the district have largely
made up the membership of the body
which met here today for the organi-
cation of the league.
Not in their widest dreams do the
republicans have the remotest idea
of polling a vote in this district
which will be large enough to make
counting it worth while. 1t is, how
ever, a sort of patriotic duty which
the republican Office holders owe to
their party to make something which
looks like an effort to be active in
the interest of the party.
The visiting republicans were
very quiet about their conference and
little was heard from them during
the day. United States Marshal
George White of Macon was evident
ly master of ceremonies for the or
ganization of the Second district
Taft League"

ORR HEARING OCTOBER 26
1t Will Then Be Decided About New
Trial in the EmbeZZlement Case
of the Bank Cashier.

Whether or not c. NJ. Orr is to be
given a new trial on the charge of
embezzlement, or which he was found
guilty in the superior court at Ma
con several months ago, is not to be
determined until October 26th.
The Macon News says that on that
date Solicitor w. M. BrunsOn, T. S.
Fielder, Reuben Arnold, Minter VIM
berly and other attorneys will APP
pear before Judge U. V. Whipple in
Cordele to argue the motion for new
trial. This motion has been ready
for some time and has been present
ed before, but the case was not ar
gued in full because of the absence
of Mr.. Fielder, who is assisting So
licitor Brunson in the prosecution.
When Mr. Orr was tried in the
superior court last spring he was
found guilty, and was sentenced to
seven years in the penitentiary. A
motion for new trial was prepared
at once and one of the longest briefs
that has ever been seen in the su-
perior court came with it. The brief
holds a world of figures and goes
into detail to show how money came
into the bank and went out.

LAND SI7, 500, 900 AN ACRE.
Recent Partition of a Small Estate
Shows Remarkable Growth OF
NaIue of New York Realty.

Value of New York Realty.
The recent partition among eight
members of the Chanler family of a
small estate bought 20 years ago by
John Jacob Aston for $4,000, and
now valued at $3,250,000, draws at
tention to the remarkable growth in
value of New York real estate, which
is said to double itself every eight
years. When it is considered that
Manhattan Island, on which the
greater part of New York city stands,
was originally bought for SPA the
prices now demanded for portions of
it are simply amazing.
A good many years ago a small
plot of III square feet on the south
east corner of Broad and Wall
streets was sold at the rate of $751;
100000 an acre, while for a neigh
boring plot $500 a square foot, or
nearly $17,5O0,000 an acre, was re-
fused

WIVES FOR 10000 BACHELORS.
Japan Arranging for Her Citizens in
the United States to Get Married.


the United States to Get Married.
The 10000 Japanese bachelors in
the United States are to be married
officially. Emigration Agent Shima-
nuki, of Toxic, has made it his bust
ness to provide them with wives
from their own country, and to that
end he has established the 'Ryok-
kokal."
This weirdly named institution "a
sort of matrimonial agency for
supplying Japanese brides to Japan
csc settlers in America. Of these
it is estimated there are 100000 of
whom 80 per cent. are wifeless. The
procedure is as follows: When a
Japanese abroad wants a wife he
sends his photograph, duly certified
to the agency in Toxic. This is sub
mitted to all the candidates for mat
rimony at the RyOkokai, and those
girls who have been favorably i'm
pressed send their photographs in re-
turn, with a record of the fitness and
general attachments of each. All the
girls entered at the Ryokokai are
instructed how to be useful wives to
settlers in America. The main idea
of the scheme is that if all the Jap
anese in America can be persuaded
to settle their and found families
their children may become American
citizens, thus tending to an ultimate
removal of the anti-Japanese feeling
in the United States.
