(special Dispatch to The Journal)
CHICAGO. May S.-Hundreds of China
men and scores of Chinese women anu

to have been struggled into Chicago In
trunks, crates and barrels and freight
cars in the last year by band or men
in Ell Paso, Texas.
One wealthy Chicago Chinaman, Chin

deputy marshals.
The arrest of members OF the band on
the Mexican frontier and an order TO

government secret campaign to stop
the practice.
The clearing house for the smugglers of
Chicago is said to be located here. and
from it the Mongols are distributed to
cities in the west and east
They have been brought across the
southern border through FL Paso, 1t is

PATTEN REGRETS
HE ROBBED POOR

KANSAS CITY, May s.-''There is
only one thing which deplore that has
come as a result OF my operations In
wheat, and that is the effect it has had on
the people by increasing the price OF
bread said James A. Patten, the Chi
cago Wheat King. who passed through
Kansas city this afternoon on his way
from Trididad, Col, to Chicago.
Mr.. Patten declared that he was not a
sueculator; that he had simply foreseen
conditions and taken advantage OF the
most favorable situation that has occur
red in years.

was afraid" he said. ''but simply went
solely to get away from the newspaper

statements that my life was in danger.
81 can see no reason why so much con-
troversy should have been created on my
account. My firm is, and always has been
one of the largest cash dealers in wheat.
Last October told every one what would
happen. 1 advised my friends to buy
wheat because the amount of exports
was rapidly shortening the home sup

my holdings at no time have been
more than 100000 bushels. 1t just

able to predict accurately. Any one else
following the market reports in the daily
papers could have done the same thing
and there is no doubt in my mind that II
had not followed up my advantage some
one else would. and the same conditions
would prevail touay in any case. Since the
world began the law of supply and de-
mand has been known TO man. 1t is a
case of demand exceeding the supply.

QUERIES ANSWERED
Making Hay from Cowpeas

MAKING nay IfOu OO6pCac
T w. Commerce. Ga. writes: am
interested in the subject OF making hay
from cowpeas. At what stage or age IS
the storage OF nitrogen in the pea plant
completed? other words, at what
stage can pea hay be cut and leave the
most nitrogen In the land?
The best time to cut peas for hay is
when the lower leaves and the ends OF
the pods are beginning to turn yellow. To
let them remain longer would insure a
large proportion OF the leaves falling to
the ground and being lost. and this. of
course. would be objectionable. since the
leaves contain q large proportion Of the
nitrogen, and IL Is desirable TO save them
as much as possible. When peas are cut
for hay at this stage of development the
chances are that they will leave In the
soil anywhere from % 20 40 pounds OF
nitrogen per acre. This nitrogen will be
in the roots, stubbIe and fallen leaves.
Only a comparatively small proportion Of
the nitrogen In the pea crop is In the
roots when the plans are beginning TO
mature. but the stubbIe and fallen leaves
contain a considerable amount even when
the crop Is harvested and handled under
the very best conditions. The variety Of
peas grown will have an influence on the
amount Of nitrogen gathered The soil
preparation and fertilization will also
have an effect. for the more vigorous the
growth the larger amount Of nitrogen
gathered. other things being equal The
season also has an influence on the gath
ering Of nitrogen as of course il affects
the growth of the crop On land that vii,
produce from TO rs tons OF pea vine
hay there would probably be gathered
and stored I'm the whole crop. including
the vines and roots. from 100 TO 125 pounds
OF nitrogen. and where such a growth Is
obtained you could probably feel quite
certain that from 30 TO 20 pounds Of nitro
gen would be left in each acre Of land.

More Information About COTTON Rus!

s.w. s., DouglasvilIe. Ca, writes: Your
answer to ". J. B. in regard to red rust

that resembles a spider. and I do not see
why a special fertilizer would have any
thing to do with It. have not been both

II. The certain plan is to go every few
days and take all affected plants out o..
the field.
The disease known as cotton rust is not
a fungous disease. but is due to unfavor-
able soil conditions caused by the ex-
haustion Of humus in the soil, TO a def
cheney Of potash, and to a lack Of soil
drainage. Presupposing that our cores

really had cotton rust. we gave him the
answer contained in a previous issue OIL
The Journal. and which naturally does

caused by what is known as the cotton
red spider or rust mite. These minute
yellowish red mites feed on the cotton
plant, attacking chiefly the under sides OF
the season but do little damage until mid
summer or later. Their greatest injury is
done during long continued dry spell.
Under such conditions they multiply
very rapidly and in sufficient numbers TO
frequently kill the plants. This pest did
considerable damage as far back as
1884 and is likely quite widely distrib-
uted throughout the cotton belt Occa-
s'onally reports of injury in Georgia have
been called 10 our attention. The in

most careful observation. They hatch in

subject to this trouble than others. The
FIRST treatment for a severe case Of diar-

in view first give about two-ounce dose
Of castor oil with one ounce OF lauda-

In persistent cases some astringent
should be given. and for this purpose
oak bark tea is very good. This is made
by sleeping the inner bark of white oak.

ounce doses twice daily Is useful for
checking this trouble. II this treatment
