EZRA MEEKER At
A.Y.P,E,

Seattle, April 2S.-Two years ago
Ezra Meeker, a pioneer of Oregon
and Washington, demonstrated the
possibility of transcontinental high
way by hitching two oxen to
prairie schooner" of the olden DAYS,
and driving them from Seattle to
New York city and return over what
was known as the Oregon trail, in
the days when men Jared into the
west by what means they could. His
journey was watched with interest by
every section of the country and
when he "wrackei" his oxen into the
national capital, on the return trip,
President Roosevelt ran out of the
White House to greet him and tell
him of the great good that his re-
markable trip had worked in the
cause of more and better roads the
country over.
Mr.. Meeker was then 2 years of
age, but hardy enough to make the
long journey and, upon his return, to
keep up his campaign for "Camino
Real" or kings highway across the
continent.
Now he is making use of the Alas
ka-Yukon-Pacific exposition to serve
the same purpose. On the 'Pay
Streak" which is the amusement
way of the Seattle's worlds fair, he
has laid out several acres of the for
est covered campus in trails and WIS.,
tas. He has erected pioneer log cab
ms and builded waterfalls. He has
laid out water courses and in other
ways reproduced in miniature the
famous trail over which he first en-
tered the great northwest. He has
the same ox-team he drove across the
continent and others as we'll and the
visitors to the Pay Streak will be
taken cover the summit of the Cas-
cades on the three notched logs
down the descent and through the
narrow defile,' which are told of in
the history of Lewis and Clarke, who
first blazed the way.
In the log cabins he will find the
entertainment and hospitality of the
DAYS of 40 and In woods he will find
rustic seats and benches where fam
lilies may discuss the picnic luncheons
they may bring with them.
Altogether it is a realistic bit from
the pioneer days, the traces of which
are so rapidly disappearing from the
west.

TO RESTORE TICONDEROGA.
Old Fort Will Be Rebuilt Upon Shore
of Lake Champlain.

Because woman expressed wish
that old Fort Ticonderoga, on the
west shore of Lake Champlain, might
be restored and made to appear ex-
actly as when, on May 10, 1775,
Ethan Allen and his Green Noun
tain boys surprised and captured it,
work has just been begun which has
that end in view.
The woman who expressed the
wish was Mrs. Stephen H. P. Pell, of
New York. Her father, Col. Robert
M. Thompson, said: 'Why not?
Have it done and send the bill to
me-"
The "bill," it is estimated, will
amount to 100000, and to complete
ly restore the fort, rich in memories
of the colonial period, will take ten
years. The west barracks, in which
the surrender was signed, will be re-
stored first. Forty-five workmen are
now engaged on that building, which,
it is hoped, will be ready when Presi-
dent Taft and members of the cabi-
net and other prominent persons Wis.,
it Ticonderoga during the celebration
of the tercentenary of Lake Cham
plain, which opens on July 4.
The property on which the fort is
located has belonged to the Pell fam
lily for a century. William F. Pell,
the great grandfather of Stephen H.
P. Pell, the banker. who is the pres
ent owner, laid it out for country
place, and used it as such for 80
years.
Mr.. Pell said that he was deeply
interested in attending to the details
of the work of restoration of the his
toric site, and added that his family
would live at the fort during the
summer season, beginning this year

The danger that the apple business
will be overdone in the Yakima val
ley is not great. Apple production
throughout the country has fallen off
very greatly in the last 10 or IL
years Last years crop amounted to
less than half the crop 10 years ago.
The demand for the fruit continues
to increase and prices are getting bet
ter right along. The east is not doing
much with apples. Washington, Ore
gon and Idaho produce fruit that Is
so much superior and so much higher
priced, that eastern farmers become
discouraged and neglect their trees
or cut them out. The general situa-
ton is such that If every foot of land
in the Yakima valley was planted to
apple trees the business wouldn't be
overdone.-Yakima Republic.

War on Boil WeeviI.
.Iattanooga Tradesman.

Chattanooga Tradesman.
Waco, Texas, July I'm some
parts of McLennon county cotton
boil weevils are more and
more destructive than ever before in
the latter part of June, in this sec-
ton, a fact stated by dozens of farm
ers consulted by the News CORES
pendent. The early commencement
of ravages by the weevil by some
farmers, is regarded as advantag-
tous, because the pierced squares
drop and may be picked up and
burned. This process OF eXtermina-
ton is going on in most cases by
hand. while many Of the farmers on
a large scale are using patented de-
vices. The square, which is the ba-
sis of the blossom, quickly falls af-
ter the weeyil has operated on it,
and if it remains on the ground and
is covered up by trash and dirt, the
eggs hatch, and in the course of time
develop into a new crop. Gathering
and burning the infected pollen
squares has been in progress in the
Waco district and probably in other
sections of Texas, for several years,
and it is believed by the farmers with
whom the News correspondent has
conversed on the subject that to this
method. more than any, should be
attributed whatever diminution of
weevil has occurred since they inva-
ded Texas.
James E. Horne, one of the most
extensive planters in the Brazos Val
ley between Waco and Marlin Falls,
says general collection and burning
of pollen bolls, followed up annually,
would result in final determination of
the destructive weevii. In the Scan
dinavian, German and Bohemian col
Onies. in Falls, McLennan and Bosque
counties, where intensified culture,

COTTON GROWING SHOULD BE
CONTINUED.

The past years experience with the
boil weeyil la developed a large SEN
timent that the culture of cotton in
this parish will have to be abandon
ed; but such a sentiment should not
prevail nor should it be entertained.
Naturally the weevil has changed
conditions, cotton can not be raised
with the same methods as before, but
that the presence Of the boil weevil
does not prevent raising cotton, has
been thoroughly demonstrated by the
farmers of Texas and in certain parts
of that state under practically, if not
identically the same, climatic 6ondi-
lions we have here. Texas this
year will .aise y Of the largest cot
ton crops of its history, n~otwithstand-
ing the boil weevil. The farmers of
Louisiana can raise cotton, too, but
they must adopt methods to meet
conditions like the Texas farmers.
In place Of cotton many are turn
ing to truck, expecting to depend up
on this for a money crop. Trucking
to a certain extent will pay u farm
ers. but we can not afford to abandon
our, great staple. Every state in the
Union can raise truck. but only the
Southern states can raise cotton, and
our parish, which is SO well adapted
to cotton culture should under no con-
sideration abandon its cultivation.
It can be grown here with proper
methods and it should be grown. But
there should be this difference: u n
der old conditions cotton was practi-
cally the only crop. now it should be
only the money crop, while the prin-
cipal attention should be given to
raising everything possible for home
consumption and enough truck, chick
ems, eggs etc, to provide ready
money for current expenses. In 9th
err words the surest road to success
full farming is through living at
home as largely as possible, diversi-
flying crops and make cotton as a
surplus product.
