How to Destroy Cotton Stalks.

The State Crop Pest Commission
is using every influence to bear on
the farmers to have them destroy all
cotton plants early this fall.
The boil weevil problem in Louisi-
aua is really very serious thug,
and unless some cotton is grown the
agricultural and business interests
of the State will reach most deplor-
able condition. The experience and
observation of the Commission has
been that it is practically impossible
to raise Il profitable crop of cotton
under the conditions that exist in
this State unless some direct measure
of killing the boil weevils is adopted.
The only way to kill them in large
quantities to insure crop is to de-
stroy thecotton plants several weeks
before frost, preferably before OctOb-
err 18th, and before October LIST, if
possible. The experience of the Com
mission along this line is fully cor
roborated by the experience OF prac-
tical planters.
When work is properly done the
cotton plants can be destroyed fcut
and burned) at a cost of from 20 to
40 cents per acre, labor and all. The
way to do it is to make and use a
V-shaped stalk cutter, the materials
for which cost about SO. This ma
chine cuts from 10 to 20 acres of
plants per day, and windrows them
at the same time.
The Crop Pest Commission now has
in press "a circular giving full direc-
tions for making a stalk cutter of
this kind. The one described by the
Commission is perhaps the most ef-
iective stalk cutter ever devised, and
has been perfected after several
of continuous experimenting
N the cotton fields. This circular
= ready for distribution, and will he
,ent to all who request it from the
State Crop Pest Commission at Baton
Rouge.

Benzoate of soda was known to the
Egyptians. They knew its preserva-
tive properties, but they did not use
it in their food. They knew too much
for that. They used it to preserve
their dead'bodies. We still have their
mummies. DR.. H. NJ. Wyley, the pure
food expert, is right IN opposing it's
use. 1t looks rather shady for ben
zoate of soda, that since it's use as a
preservative for meats, fruits and
vegetables, many incurable diseases
have developed. Anything that will
preserve dead body is slow poison
to living person. Such preserved
food taken into the stomach will lay
there like rock-like the Egyptian
mummy. Such food is well preserv-
ed = it is proof against digestion

FOUL MURDER INTENDED
Discharged Workmen of California
Sugar Refinery Dynamite the
House of SUPERINTENDENT.

Oakland, Cal. Feeb. "a dastardly at
tempt was made by some discharged
workmen of the California Sugar refinery
owned by Spreckels & Co., at Crockett
about twenty miles east Of here in Con-
ira Costa county, to destroy the home
and family Of Superintendent Hugh Hart
mann by dynamite. which was placed IN
der the front of sthe house at O'Clock
this morning and exploded. The whole
front OF the building was torn away and
the sitting room exposed. Immediately in
the rear of this were the sleeping rooms
OF Mr.. and Mrs, Hartmann and their four
children. The explosion aroused the en-
tire town and shattered windows in the
neighborhood.
Shortly after daylight Constable Taylor
and two other men started in pursuit of
three suspects whom they had located in
a nearby cottage. The men fled and
opened fire on the officers with Tevolvers.
This fire the officers returned, and the
chase was kept up for more than an hour
through the hills with very frequent eX-
changes of shots until the suspects sur
rendered. None OF the participants were
wounded. The prisoners were identified az
G. Bernovitch, G. Marisitch and II. Mari
stitch.

capitalists in Contra Costa county. There
have been numerous labor differences
there with the Slavonians, and this plot IS
believed to be an outcome of the many
threats made against him

improvement in the accompaniment

mention. The organ aids materially

hand he is besieged by clamoring ap-
-Is.sots for reservations of berths and
snare on three special trains that are
1f-aadv hUed. on the other hand. he is
',,fronted with a set of cold-hearted

nature that insure the perfect comfort
Of those who viii make the trip to the
