French be offered in the lower grades

TRAINING BOYS FOR FARMERS
Secretary WlIssa TELLS Of The Departments
Efforts In the Sssth

Washington, Feb. 23.-While the
boys in the east are leaving farms
and seeking employment elsewhere
there is no reason for optimism as to
the farm life in some parts of she
country, said Secretary Of the Agri-
culture Wilson today in addressing
the protest of the National Grange
Of West Virginia against the figures
in his annual report relative to the
value of wealth of American farms.
The secretary said the figures 49,
760,000,00O mentioned ii his report
as the valne of farm products last
year merely represented the visible
wealth Of the farms Of She
country, including stock, cattle,
grain etc, and had nothing to do with
the cost Of making the crops. He
added that the department had not
reached the point where it was able
70 give she net profits Of amer lean
farms.
7 know he said, that some
farmers claim that the stock Of grain
should not be counted along with
stock, as the grain is fed to the
stock. But doesn't that make the
stock more valuable"
The grange complained that the
figures were misleading and repre-
scented the farmer rolling in wealth,
giving no data as to the comparative
Y small profit he made after the
hardest sort of d days work.

WEEuL FUND RAISED
AFTER HARD Fight
BY SENATOR FOSTER

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Senate
committee on agriculture and for
estrY yesterday agreed to increase
the appropriation for demonstration
work to show that cotton crops can
be made, Notwithstanding the boil
weevil, from $4,000 to $265,000.
That is the response Of the commit
tee to the demand voiced in the
House by members from Louisiana,
Mississippi, and other cotton growing
States, and which was later brought
to the attention Of the Senate by
Senator Foster, when he gave notice
that he would move to amend the
bill when it reached the Senate by
increasing the allowance to 100000.
This action Of the committee does
not put an end to the effort of Sen
ator Foster, backed By the House
members, who have been formally
and informally asking the committee
70 increase the appropriation, His
notice is that when the bill gets. into
the Senate he viii ask that body to
give the larger sum given in that no. Z
tice. DR.. Knapp, chief Of the bureau ]
that has charge Of the demonstration
work, and Representative Dickson
appeared before the commistee. The
Senate committee summoned DR..
Knapp on account Of the understand
ing that is becoming general that
there is a bit of friction or ~professial
jealousy between the demonstration
scientists Of the department of agri-
culture and the men who are study
ing the veevil with q view or finding
q way to poison him or have him
translated before he does his damage.
Demonstration farmers base their
work on the theory that BY planting
early varieties and putting the cot
ton stands far enough apart TO en-
able the sun TO shrivel up the bugs,
and Gotten can be made even If a
suitable poison has not been found.
The House leaders, while giving mon
eY to the demonstration work, have
been largely influenced By the ento-
biologists, who told the lawmakers
that a larger amount Of money could
not be used to advantage. The dem
~onstratioR farmers were out ID the
boil Weevil country, while the esti-
mates we're being made up, where
fore they did not have any chance 10
have their say while the bill vas in
the House. Dr.. Knapp told the com
mittee without reservation that he
could use the extra sums the cotton
States men asked for.

Frequency of Plantation Sales

It is seldom SO many important
sugar property transfers are effect
ed il a given time as was the case
during January and Febrauay Of this
year, and the feature Of most of the
deals raj the good prices brought,
Indicating a most gratifying appre-
citation Of the worth of the sugar
land and a faith in the future of the
industry that is most encouraging.
That so many properties should be
sold at topmost figures would make it
appear as if the apprehension Of the
1910 crop outcome is not universal,
or that iii exists with the purchasers
they evidently consider the immediate
sugar market outlook sufficiently en-
couraging to Offset the risk they may
take in acquiring a cane property the
succeeding year after the seed cane
and stubble were supposedly sickened
by the September storm Of 1909.
The number Of former cane selling
planters properties maintaining sugar
houses in order that they may grind
their own cane is another feature Of
the year seldom observed before for.
ordinarily it is the manufacture
who buys the sellers plantation; this
Of itself furnishes food for thought.

The Sonth's Wealth

OF the So. 100000 that the
farms Of the United States have
yielded in 1909 the South,s share is
$1,000, 100000 according to psti-
mates based upon the latest available
reports. OF the South's total be-
tween $780, 900 and $1,000, o0O,-
600 represents the crop of cotton,
with its seed, now coming upon the
the market, an increase Of between
S150,000.000 and 100000 over
1908, though the number If bales
this year viii probably be more than
100000 less than last years crop.

OLROOSEVELTC COMING
HONE FROM AFRI-
Can HUNT.
The Strenuous One Has A Won
derfuI Collection Of Animals,
Killed On His Trip.

Gondokofo. Sudan, on the Upper
Nile, Feb, 28,-Colonel Roosevelt and
the others 81 his immediate party
sailed today on the steamer Dial for
Khartoum, where they expect to ar
rive on March Is.
Colonel Roosevelt and Kermit have
killed some 500 specimens of large
mammals. The bag includes the fol-
lowing: IT lions, II elephants, 10
buffaloes, 10 black rhinoceroses, 9
white rhinoceroses, 9 Important, 9
CRATES, 8 leopards, z chetahs, 8 giant
Glands, 3 sables, | sitatunga and 2
bongos.
All these we're killed inss the in
terest Of science.
From the point Of Importance the
most highly priced game mays be
rated as follows: -
First, the giant Glands, the first
complete specimens Of which family
are now being taken from the country:
second, the white r~hinoeeroses; third.
the bongos. the first to be stalked
sH
and killed by a white man; and, fourth,
the sitatunga, a species Of antelope.
Science will be enriched by seve-
raj new species and an enormous ser
les Of the smaller mammals Of Africa.
The game taken and the collections
made constitute a worlds record for
a similar period Of hunting and scien-
tiic research in Africa.
With Mr.. Rooseyelt's departure,
the African scientific expedition under
the auspices Of the Smithsonian In
stitution Of Washington and led by
the former president Of the United
States, was for all practical pur-
poses brought to a close.
Colonel Roosevelt considers that
the killing of the giant Glands in bis
recent excursion along the upper
reaches Of the Nile was a fitting end
ing Of a marVelously successful trip,
The results generally, from the stand
point Of the hunter and the scientist,
have exceeded all expectations. The
greater number of the specimens will
go to the Smithsonian Institution.
M. Roosevelt viii retain not more
than six trophies for himself.
The naturalists secured a remark
able selection, comprising many thou
sands Of birds and other mammals.
The American Museum will receive
the greatest collection Of African
fauna in existence. All agreed that
too much praise cannot be accorded
R. ]. Cunninghame, the Englishnan
whose management Of the expedition
was as nearly perfect as could be
conceived.
Colonel Roosevelt will nov devote
his time to writing, including the
preparation Of the addresses which
he is to deliver in Europe. He will
do no more hunting unless, during
the trip down the Nile, chance throws
in his way az opportunity to secure
some rare specimens.

farms for the cities, the secretary
said the young people Of the farms
must Be educated to the possibilities
Of that life.
Last year, he stated, 1860 boys
on Southern farms raised an acre Of
corn each, and some of them did
splendid work. This year the de-
partment is giving instructions TO the
young men in beg raising. We are
trying to raach the oldpeople through
the young ones he said.

IS REQUIRED
OF PHONE GIRLS
VIA
Bureau Of labor Sends Report to unlted
States Senate On Question.
MUST Be FIVE FEET TALL
Or They Cannot Secure EmpIeyRsnt... Eduea.
tIeasl Equipment is AIss Asked fSF...As
to Salaries,

Washington, Feb. 27.-She is not a
telephone girl if she is FIVE feet in
height. The companies employ only
girls who can reach to the top of
their switchboards and a reasonable
distance sideways from their positions
and the short ones never get a chance.
Conditions existing in the inYesti-
cation Of conditions throughout he
country are interestingly set forth in
the report recently sent to the Senate
dealing with the investigation made
by the Bureau Of Labor. The bulk
OF the report deals with the women
employees. There are 1920 Of them
working at the switchboards for 27.
companies in 26 States, which fur
nished the data. Agents of tie Blu
reau visited 73 exchanges and found
them generally speaking we'll housed,
in many cases the girls were com
PEELED to walk up from one to four
flights Of stairs and more than two
thirds Of the complaints heard were
because Of the elevators.
Some Of the cities imposing medi-
cal or physical-medlcal examinations
are required of applicants. Their
height is often determined with the
applicants knowledge of young women
who engage the former in converse
ton while she compares the level Of
the others eyes with her own. The
educational requirements are usually
that the applicant must have passed
the sixth or seventh grade in gram
mar school. Boston alone prefers
high school girls, but is not always
successful il obtaining them. Girls
are put into training schools for a
f%our-Weeks' course before they are
replaced at the switchboard. Wages
for telephone girls vary from a high
est monthly average Of $36.96 in New
York to S22.40 in Nashville, Tenn.
In some Of the smaller cities the
average goes under, especially in the
South. The Bell Company employs
1928 women at an average monthly
wage of $30.9l.
Efficient service is possible up to
225 calls an hour for each girl. She
can't answer more than that without
injury to herself or injuring the SER
vice. The Bureau has reached the
conclusion that the operator who has
not enough to do to keep her con-
stantly busy, however, does not prop
erly attend to that she has.
The commissioner strongly urges
the adjustment Of overtime for OPP
orators and says this can be brought
about if the larger cities set the ex-
ample. Some cities have done SO, but
in Chicago the Bell operators have
about % per cent of overtime and in
New Orleans as high as SO per cent.
A widespread and intelligent effort
on the part Of the companies to look
after the comfort and vell-being Of
its women employees was found. On
the other hand the Investigators dis
covered that the women were 10, al
to the company and enthusiastic for
the work, all Of which is declared to
add much to the efficiency Of service
to the public.
