BRYAN AND BAILEY
MAY DEBATE TARIFF
Will Probably Take Place Next
Month in Atlanta, Ga.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. ga joint de-
bate on the tariff by William Jennings
Bryan and Senator Joseph W, Bailey,
of Texas, at Atlanta will probably be
held some time next month In the At
lanta Auditorium.
Senator Bailey wired his acceptance
of the formal invitation extended by
the Young Mems Democratic League of
Atlanta for a joint debate between
himself and Mr.. Bryan. While no re-
ply to the invitation has been received
from Mr.. Bryan, advices from Fort
Worth, Tex. are to the effect that Mr..
Bailey wired Mr.. Bryan of his accept
ance of the invitation, Incorporating in
his message to the former Democratic
standard-bearer a personal request
that he, too, accept and fix the date of
the meeting.
Mr.. Bryan is expected to accept the
invitation and suggest a suitable date.
The Democratic convention of Texas
opposed the plank in the national
Democratic platform declaring for free
raw material, and Senator Bailey at
tackled that feature of the party's plat
form on the floor of the senate. Mr..
Bryan went to Texas about two weeks !
ago and in a number of speeches as
sailed the attitude of Mr.. Bailey on
this subject, the latter defending his
position from platforms in various
parts of the state.

Fattening Turkeys.

I have had a good deal of expert.
ence in rearing turkeys. By giving
the flock good attention I seldom
lose any. The birds have free
range at all times, as they are Of a
roaming disposition and won t do
well in close confinement. l feed
twice daily; in the morning, wheat,
sunhowers seed, buckwheat and
some kind Of cooked vegetable; in
the evening whole corn. During
the day the birds wander at will
over the small grain, clover and
cornields In the former two they
get large quantity of insects and
in the latter more or less vegetable
food. In the wheat fields they
also get considerable grain left af-
ter the crop is harvested. When
they are in the barnyard, I give
them all the skim milk and butter
milk they will drink and supply
them plenty of coarse grit where
they have access to it at all times.
A pail of slaked lime is also within
reach. Plenty of fresh water is
essential at all times.
Some people pen their turkeys
for few weeks before marketing,
but I find the birds do better if
allowed to run at large. There is
no danger of overfeeding by this
method. 1t is necessary, though.
to see that they get all they will
eat up clean. At this time I feed
boiled potatoes and scalded corn
meal, but never much oats, on ac-.
count of the hulls. A few weeks
before marketing, when the birds |
begin to take on fat rapidly and |
many times don't care to come |
nome, then I give them such ap-
oetizers as boiled rice, clabber and
cheese. 1 never house the turkeys,
out let them roost in the trees. The
)irds are so tame they will eat of
ny hands. They do much better
when treated in this kind of way.

ganize an expedition to search for DR..
Cook. but, according to Mr.. Whitney,
this part of the instructions was word
ed very ambiguously.
When DR.. Cook and his Eslkimos ar.
rived at the house they had no sledge.
Being too weary to drag it over the
rough ice, they had left It twenty
miles from Etah The following day
some other Eskimos went out, recov-
cred the sledge and brought it in. on
II were DR.. Cooks instruments, clothes
and food.
Aftor spending two days at Ammo
tok, where Cook first met Whitney.
Cook started for Etah. He planned
originally to take two Eskimos and
two sledges, but one Eskimo fell sick,
and this made 1t necessary for him to
cut down the luggage he could take
with him south. He consequently
asked Whitney to take charge of the
instruments with which he had made
his observations at the pole Cook left
no written records with whitney that
he (Whitney) was aware of.
Esklmos Did Not say So.
Continuing, Mr.. Whitney said that
last month. when Peary, on board the
Roosevelt, reached Etah from the
north after his winters work there,
be CWhitney) informed him of DR..
Cooks arrival in April, adding that
Cook had told him whitney, to tell
Peary that Cook had gone beyond
Peary's farthest north.
Peary made no comment on this, |
and Whitney said he was not asked |
any other questions by Peary. But the
next day Cooks Eskimos came to /
Whitney and asked him what Peary's /
men were trying to get them to say
Peary's men had shown the Esldmos /
papers and maps. but the EslIimos de
clared they did not understand these
papers.
So far as Mr.. Whitney is aware,
Cooks Eskimos never admitted that
while with the doctor they had only
two sleeps" from land.
The day the Roosevelt was leaving
Etah for home Whitney informed
Peary that Cook had entrusted to him
certain belongings to bring home on
the vessel that was coming up for
Whitney, but as this ship had not ar
rived Whitney was at loss what to
DO with this property.
Peary declined to permit DR.. Cooks
belongings to be brought aboard the
and he put Whitney on his
lonor not 70 include anything belong
ng to Dr. Cook in his own luggage.
thereupon went ashore from

from his own luggage, and
With the aid Of Captain Bartlett re-
acked Cooks property in boxes. I

ed those interested in the enter
prise "book farmers. They saic
it was impossible to grow anything
on the waste land chosen for the
experiment, that it was good fol
nothing but pine barrens" and
salt ponds. " The scofing changed
to admiration when in two years
the Long Island people had sue
ceeded in growing successfully $50
different varieties of plants, includ-
ing caulihower, corn, radishes,
peas. asparagus, tomatoes, cabbage,
carrots, beans, cantaloupes, water
melons, alfalfa, potatoes and many
other vegetables and fruits.
The first long Island railroad
farm was established as an expert
ment. Today two farms are in
operation, and they are considered
permanent institutions. These
farms pay for the transportation of
their material just as other farms
do. They are there to show what
can be done under molal conditions,
and a similar policy is to be inaug-
urated by those in charge of the
experiment station on the Delaware
peninsula.
Encouraging Agriculture.
The Pennsylvania railroad and
its subsidiary lines have for several
years been exerting every effort to
encourage the agricultural interests
along its lines. On farmers special
instruction trains and steamboats,,
operated by the railroad lectures
have been delivered before thous-
ands of farmers by experts from the
agricultural colleges of the different
States through which the lines of
the Pennsylvania system run.
In addition, the railroad has for |
more than a year, carried on a cam
paign to acquaint the buyers and |
growers of different markets with |
those Of the territory tributary to
its lines. Booklets have been issued |
and the traffic representatives of
the company have been instrument
tai in greatly increasing the demand
for produce grown on farms along
the Pennsylvania railroad.
Added interest in scientific farm
mo is one result of the PennSvl-
yanja's S agricultural campaign. A
wider market for the crops grown
IN its lines is another, more people
living along its lines, greater pros
oerity among the farmers, and-for
he railroad itself-an increased
reight and passenger traffic.
