missouri produces New SuccuIent
Vegetable Combination.
Henry p. Cole, a prosperous farmer
Of Hale, Mo-, promises to rival Bur-
bank in marvellous feats Of plant rails
ing. His latest innovation is COM
bination tomato and pepper plant,
which will enable the lover of the de
licious fruit to abandon the antiquat-
ed method of using pepper, it being
only necessary to slice the new prod
uct and it is ready for use.
The tomato patch from which the
freak tomato was taken is in close
proximity to a field of peppers, and it
Is supposed by the plant raisers of
this section that the pollen of the two
was mixed during the blooming sea
son. The physical construction of the
''peppermato." as 1t has been locally
dubbed, is peculiarly interesting.
AS il taking into consideration the
taste of every one. nature so arranged
the fruit that the pepper part may be
separated from the tomato. and those
who fear the i'll effect Of pepper upon
the human vitality may raise the fruit
for market purposes and at the same
time remove the pod from the few
which they personally consume.

THE RIGHT OF LABORING MEN
The New Orleans States in its issue
of October 2, in commenting on The
WreclSing of the Los Angeles Times ant
the killing and wounding of more thar
twenty men employed in this plant, If
voicing its view of labor which we en-
dorse fully, says:
The right of laboring men to bani
themselves together no one questions
Obviously it is their duty to do so, OF
suffer oppression and impoverishment al
the hands of the capitanstic classes
They enjoy the inalienable privilege tc
insist on fair wages, on the limitation
OF their hours of employment, on q
lealthftIl environment in their places Of
labor. A likg obligation rests on then
as on their employers to maintain in
yiolate-sfhe contracts they make. But
taey are at perfect liberty to strike
whenever it pleases them to do SO.
Nevertheless, it must be remembered
that, under the letter and spirit of OUT
Constitution and laws, the laborer who
does not choose to join a union enjoys
identically the same rights and privileges
and is equally entitled to protection from
anolestation. And when organized labor
undertakes to prevent a nor-union man
from earning his daily bread, when it
resorts to violence against him or his
employer, organized labor breaks the
laws, attacks the foundations of the gov
ernmert and becomes a disciple of an
archy and an enemy of society.
These facts the more enlightened
leaders Of American organized labor are
coming more and more to recognize, and
there is notable movement among
them TO bring the masses of union en-
ployes into sympathy with and support
Of the law. They know that to counte-
nance such appalling crimes as that at
Los Angeles is to sound the death inell
81 American unionism. with all the evils
10 insist that organized labor shall not
be held responsible for what occurred
at Los Angeles without reasonable
proof But if the proof is forthcoming
n such a way as to satisfy honest
American opinion that the atrocity was
inspired and perpetrated by those afili-
ated with organized labor, it is their
bounded duty, both to organized labor
and organized society, to do all in their
power TO see that justice is dealt out TO
the bloodthirsty human wolves who
broke the coamandments of God and
the laws of mar and carried desolation
into SO many innocent homes"

PACIFIC COAST GROWING
IN WHEAT PRODUCTION.
California, Oregon and Washington
Show Surprising Cereal Figures.

California, Oregon and Washington
will soon be producing almost 10 per
cent of the wheat grown in the United
States. These western states (Califor-
MIA leadingl also produce more than 20
per cent of the barley grown in North
America, and their oat crops will soor
equal 5 per cent of the harvest in thts
United States
Few are aware of the growing i'm
portance of the Pacific coast as grain
region 1t is more noted for its fish
cries, lumber and fruit crops, Yet to-
day this territory is producing 2 per
cent of the worlds wheat. In 1909
the coasts wheat crop was equal to
three-ffths of Canada's average an
naal wheat harvest for the preceding
five years, and it was only 6,8SS.000
bushels behind Australia's average an
nual production for the same period.
In 1909 the coasts production was
8,577,000 bushels in excess of the an
nual average for Great Britain and
S,522,000 greater than the 1908 wheat
crop Of that country. II was one
third as large as Argentina's unusual
ly heavy yield of 1908. and it was only
100000 bushels below the whole of
Africa's wheat output of 1908.
The value of the Pacific coast princi-
pal grain crops in 1909 was: Wheat,
sci. 10000; barley. $29.o5o,oo0: oats,
S14,557, 600; total. $l05.333. 900.
California in 1909 was fifteenth
among the states in wheat production
and a close second In barley Mime
sota's crop was only $4,000 bushels
more and twenty-third in oats Wash
ington was sixth in wheat, seventh in
barley and nineteenth in oats. Oregon
was twelfth in wheat, eleventh in bar
ley and eighteenth in oats.
In 1908 California, Oregon and
Washington gained 100000 bushels
in their wheat exports. besides fncreas-
ing their flour mills The time is at

raising grapes in that section for so
many years that they have reduced the

ment's answer to the British note the
British minister declines, on the
grounds Of relevancy, to discuss the
Persian references to the presence
In the country of foreign troops; but
he deals in some detail with the Per-
sian arguments based on customs
statistics. He points out that the in
crease in receipts in 19O9-10 applied
only to the northern customs, while
the Bushire customs receipts last
year were much lower than those of
10000, and he explains the increase
during the first hve months of the
present year by the fact that the
years harvest has been unusually
abundant. The reply adds that the
first five months Of last year, with
which comparison was made, in
cluded the period during which the
disorderly Tangistanis dominated Bu-
shire. But" Sir George remarks,
whatever may be the statistics, It
cannot be denied that certain south
ern trade routes have practically been
impossible" He declares that there
can be no hope Of a lasting improve
ment in trade II the present anarchy
continues.
