Chestnut Farm In Cleveland Towr
ship.

Coleman X. Sober, of Lewis
burg, known the world over as The
Chestnut King" has secured a
place which-he considers ideal for
the developing of one of his we'll
known chestnut farms, The prop
erty was bought from Martin Luther
Sober, last week and consists of r65
acres of timber land, III what i,
known as "Pine Swamp" in Gle, G.
land township, this county.
1t is his intention to take off
what timber is marketable, and
then to clear the plot of all under
brush, and rotten limbs, etc. After
this is done, he will commence the
planting of his Paragon chest
rNt trees, with which he has won
fame and fortune. 1t is his inten-
ton TO make this chestnut farm the
equal Of his Northumberland coun-
ty property.
In Irish Valley near Shamokin,
he has planted thousands of native
chestnut trees, upon which he has
grated the Italian or Paragon"
chestnuts. Last year he harvested
5000 bushels, all of which were
sold in the State of Washington for
the average price of So per bushel
This year he has 800, 900 gratis
started, and expects to graft 100, =
600 trees on bis farm there. The
balance he will sell to Glen Bros =.
a nursery firm, in Rochester, y. Y,
which has contracted to take all
the gratis he can raise. With new
trees coming on this year, and
good crop, there is no present
reason, he says, why the crop
ought not to exceed 5000 bushels
on the farm.
The intention of Mr.. Sober is to
eventually sell his chestnuts in all
parts of the country. He has had
his farm in Irish Valley about 10
years, and has made great success
of it.

Pure Food Bill Passed by Senate, with
Drugs.
Useless Protests Against Benzoa,e, Thoush
House Will Give IL Hard Test.

Senator Murphy, of Philadel-
phia, called up and had passed e.
nally III the Senate Monday the
Pure Food" bill which permits
the use of benzoate of soda in the
adulteration of foods.
This bill was killed last we>k OH
final passage, the vote reconsidered
and it was on the postponed calen-
dar
Mr.. Murphy called it up and
made the first set speech of the ses
sion in the Senate, while Clarence
Wolf, lin McNichol and "Bll"
Key ser, who never made speech
in their lives, crowded about and
listened in rapture.
Mr.. Murphy read letters and
documents from distinguished sci
entists and chemical experts TO
show that benzoate Of soda is not
injurious, and he quoted from the
report of Roosevelt's Pure Food
Commission, which went into the
subject thoroughly, to support his
contention. He declared that as a
friend Of the workingmen, repre-
senting the largest Senatorial dis
trict in the State, he would not
think of doing anything to injufe
them. Here the three listeners
above mentioned looked at each
other and grinned.
Senator Dewalt, of Lehigh, who
originally voted against the BILL
said that when home he made in
quiries and found that a great ma
ny physicians and merchants want
ed the bill, and the doctors pro-
nounced benzoate of soda harmless,
unless taken in large quantities.
On this account he had changed
his mind and would vote for the
bill.
Senator Gerberich, of Lebanon,
who opposed the bill, said he had
gotten his information regarding
the injurious effects of the drug
from the United States dispensary.
Hulings, of Venango, wanted to
send the bill back to committee
with instructions to strike out all
reference to benzoate of soda, but
the Senate voted down his motion,
ard then passed the bill.
All the Philadelphia Senators
voted for the bill except Durham,
who was absent.
The bill now goes 10 the House,
where it will have hard shedding.
