Claims Haskell Made Bad Break

Independence, Kan. Oct. g.
The Daily Reporter here today
will publish the following: Gov
ernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, has
demanded of President Roosevelt,
that the Foster blanket oil lease
of the Usage nation be revoked,
holding it to be a republican
grant. Governor Haskell will
no doubt be surprised to learn
that the original Foster lease,
comprising the entire Usage ma
tion, was approved by Secretary
Hoke Smith, of Georgia, under
the democratic administration of
Grover Cleveland, and was never
questioned until Secretar V Hitch
cock, republican, characterized it
as "the most scandalous act the
interior department ever perpetrat-
ed." Under Secretary Hitchcock
the lease was reduced to cover on
ly those lands upon which expend-
itures had been made in search of
oil. -

Nelson packed four cars of his
own raising, and Mr.. Hartley the
balance. Two thirds of the last
carload was composed of apples Of
the Rome Beauty, Winesap and
Jonathan varieties. These came
from the Westlake and Nelson
orchards. A few crates of pears
were also included in this last car.
The growers of the prunes re.
ceived SO per ton, the lowest price
paid during Mr. Hartley's operation
here with one exception. Last
year the price ran up to $21. Mr..
Hartley had an average of rs peo-
pie on his payroll during the sea
son and paid out about $3.50 day
in wages. The majority of his en-
ployes were women and girls. At
the opening of the season the out
look was very blue, but prices
gradually advanced and both pack
ing houses are pleased with the
outcome. Nelson's first three
cars brought $1.19, $1.20 and $1.23
respectively in the New York mar
ket and as usual were the. best re-
ceived there during the season.
Two of Hartley's cars brought |
i1.20. but the average of his ship
nents ranged right around $1.15
Nine hundred carloads were re-
,eived from the Northwest this
year, an increase of rs carloads
,ver any previous year. Most of

which accounted for the low price

WORLDS CORN EXPERT
Prof. Holden and Party of
Iowans visit Emmett.

Professor P G. Holden, the wiz
ard Of the corL field, Prof. f.. Z
Faville, editor of an Iowa farm
paper, and G. w. Hallett wer,
Emmett visitors last week.
Professor Holden is scientif,
and practical agronomist of inter
national repute. His work il
teaching farmers scientific corr
raising has showed splendid re
suit. Prior to his going to Iowa,
the average corn yield per acre ir
that state was 80. 80 bushels. Now
the average is 80. 20 bushels. He
ran the famous corn special trains
through central and western Iowa
carving valuable information to
the farmers and arousing them to a
sense Of their capabilities and tn e
need of scientific application to
their work. The State of Iowa gives
the professor s35. ZOO annually to
be expended in teaching farmers
and their sons modern methods of
agriculture and horticulture.
Professor Holden and his asso-
ciates are located at the state agri-
cultural college at Ames, Iowa.
Secretary Wilson of the national
agricultural department is a great
admirer of the professor work
and every western 1college is fol-
lowing his theory of teaching the
scientific selection of seed, adapta-
ion of variety and new methods of
cultivation and care. The party
had Boise. Nampa and Caldwell on
their itinerary which covered
practically the whole state. For
tunately. the professor is a friend
of Colonel Hunter and when they
happened to meet in Boise last
week. the colonel used his god |

The Index that this section had an
individuality in altitude, climate
and topography which was un-
equaled in the state. He SAYS the
valley IS suited for corn and it is
only question of selection of va
riety and early maturing seed.
He explained the manner of Sc
lecting seed and acclimating it to
this section. "Choose the ears for
Seed" he says, (which mature
FIRST; use only the kernels from the
of the ear, never the two
ends" By careful selection in this
manner and careful cultivation he
declares we can soon excel any
other part of the state in corn

% YOU KNOW
WHAT WHITE LEAD 1871
its Chief Use and a Method Of Deter.
mining Good from Bad Explained.

White Lead is the standard paint
material all over the world. 1t is made
by corroding metallic lead into a white
powder, through exposing it to the
fumes OF weak acetic acid and carbonic
acid gas; this powder Is then ground
and mixed with linseed oil, making a
thick paste, In which form it is packed
and sold for painting purposes. The
painter thins 1t down to the proper
consistency for application by the ad.
dition of more linseed oil.
The above refers, of course, to pure,
genuine White Lead only. Adulterated
and fake White Lead" OF which there
are many brands on the market, IL
generally some sort of composition
containing only a percentage Of white
lead; sometimes no White Lead at all;
In such stuff. barytes or ground rock.
chalk, and similar cheap substances
are used to make bulk and initiate the
appearance of pure White Lead.
There is, however, a positive test by
which the purity OF impurity of White
Lead may be proved or exposed, be-
fore painting with it.
The blow-pfpe flame will reduce
pure white lead to metallic lead. II
a supposed white lead be thus tested
and ii only partially reduces to lead,
leaving a residue, 1t is proof that
something else was there besides
white lead.
