GET JUNKMAN
AFTER A YEAR
Detective Lsng Landed Davis
Shumsky This Morning for
Buying Buying Stolen Copper.
THE FUGITIVE LEFT THIS CITY

The Ingot, Valued at $40, was Stol-

Better Times at Hand.

Already there are the tHemors
of better times for the agricultur-
alists in the air for the coming
year. They are hopeful and
cheerful, even in the boil weevil
districts. They proclaim that
they can make cotton despite the
presence of the pests. They are
paying particular attention to
raising home necessities, curing
their own meat and lessening their
expenses in every conceivable
way. They are not only diversi-
flying their producuts, but giving
more care and labor to their truck
patches. The lessons taught them
by experience are being needed
and they are on the highway that
leads to a competency and indie
pendence.

Items Of Interest from
Field and Farm........

the Farmers Union, have SAID
that farmers should not sell their
cotton for less than fifteen cents.
This price, in view of all the
circumstances, is not unreasona-
BILE. Now, will farmers stand to-
gether and demand fifteen cents
per pound?
The supply of raw cotton is
very limited, the warehouses of
many mills being practically
empty. The mills are running on
full time and still find il difficult
to supply the demand for cloth.
The manufactured goods find
ready sale at almost fabulous
prices.
Never before have conditions
been so favorable for the farmers,
particularly in the matter of con-
trolling the price of cotton. Will
they seize the opportunity or
allow it to slip from them?-

A Good HaY Crop.

Alfalfa is one of the greatest if
not the greatest forage and hay
crop in existence. though it takes
some people u long time to find
it out. There is much to learn
about growing this desirable plant
and that is why there are many
failures. Keep at it in a small
way, however, until you learn
how to grow it, and you will bless
the day you first heard of it. 1t
is a big yielder,, furnishes feed of
fine quality, is great soil inn
proven and Is perennial. That
is a combination of good qualities
that can't be beat.-Farm &
Ranch.

A visit IN the country indicates
that the farmers are showing a
disposition to push their crop
preparations. A large amount of
land has already been plowed.
while the work of burning the
grass and cotton stalks is every
where prevalent. There is no
question but that early planting
and rapid and intensive cultiva-
ton will prove a foil to boil wcevil
depredations. More attention is
also being paid to truck farming
and pay fields. Farming opera
tions are encouraging at the open
ing of the present year.

The price of creosote is about 10
cents per gallon in the East and
Middle West, Is cents per gallon
on the Pacific coast, and "a cents
per gallon in the Rocky Mountain
States. The cost of treating q
post will therefore vary from A
to Is dents. Propealy treated, it
should give service for at least
twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest
Service show that with preserva-
tive treatment the durability of
lodgepole pine in Idaho is in
creased sixteen years. The cost
of creosote is there relatively high,
yet by treating posts there is a
saving, with interest at 6 per
cent, of 2 cents per post yearly.
more Important tnan the saving,
however, is the fact that through
preservative treatment other
woods are fitted to take the place
of cedar, of which the supply is
rapidly becoming exhausted. A
detailed description of expert
ments in preserving fence posts,
together with practical sug-
gestlons for treating them on a
commercial scale, are contained
in Circular III of the Forest
Service. This publication can be
obtained upon application to the
Forester at Washington.

Fence Posts Made Durable.

Fence posts of many kinds of
cheap woods which ordinarily
would soon decay if set in the
ground can be made to last for
twenty years by a simple treat
ment with creosote. Most of the
so-called "inferior" woods are
we'll adapted to the treatment,
and this is especially true of cot
tonwood, aspen, willow, syca-
more, low-grade pines, and some
of the gums. When properly
treated, these woods outlast un.
treated cedar and oak, which are
becoming too scarce and too
much in demand for other uses
to. allow of their meeting the
demand for fence posts.
Imgreenation with creosote has
been greatly cheapered by the
introductionof the "open tank, T"
which can be installed at a cost
of from $50 to $45, or much less
if an old boiler Is used. A tank
with a bottom IL square feet in
area will suffice for treating 40
or SO 6-inch posts a day, or
double this number when two
runs per day can be made. The
absorption of creosote per post is
about as follows: Eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow. two
tenths gallon; sassafras, ash.
HICKORY, red oak, water oak, elm,
and maple. four-tenths gallon;
Douglas fir. quaking aspen, and
black walnut, six-tenths gallon;
sycamore, cottonwood, and lodge
pole pine, seven-tentbs gallon.
