WAS WALKING ALONG TRACKS
Dead Man Seemed to Take no Notice of
Approaching Train and Was Thrown
From the Tracks With Great Force
Remains Brought to Kenosha.

An unknown man supposed to be
Ignatz Psadigan, an Austrian met in
slant death on the tracks of the North
western Railway Company four miles
south of Kenosha just after nine
o'clock Wednesday when he was
struck by a north bound train. The
man had been walking north along
tho tracks and seemed cith,l not to
hear the warning signal or took no no.
tice of it. The remains were not bad
ly mangled but they were thrown some
distance from the tracks, The train
was stopped and the dead man picked
up and brought to Khenosha where
the remains we've turned over to Coro-
ner +. e. Andre and an inquest will
be held later in the week, possibly on
Thursday afternoon. The remains
we're removed to the Miller morgue
here they are being held pending
identification.
1t is not thought that the man ever
lived in Kenosha. but a postal card
found in his pocket had been address
ed "'Ignatz Psadigan, 89l Main street,
Dallas, Texas. The officials of the
company have wired to the Texas city
in hopes Of being able to get a better
identification of the remains. The
dead man appears to be about % years
of age. In his pockets were found
passports from Austria which indicat
ed hat at one time he had been a
soRaier il The Austrian ARMY low
eve3 these papers did not give the
address of the man in this country and
no reference to Dallas was made in
them
1t was evident from these papers
that Psadigan had been living in this
country for several years.
Notice of the killing of the man has
been sent to other cities south of Ke
nosha as it is thought possible that
the dead man may have been working
in Zion City or Waukegan and had
started to walk to Kenosha with a
view of finding work here. No steps
will be taken toward the burial of the
remains of the dead man until after
The attempt to locate his relatives has
been made.

KEEP BOOKS FOR FARMERS
University Has Plan to Assist Farmers
in Keeping Records

To help the farmers of the state to
tell exactly what their gain or loss is
on each of their farm products, and
just what it is costing to operate the
piece of property, the University Of
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, in
cooperation with the Bureau of Agri-
culture at Washington. has establish
ed system of farm accounts, and is
extending the service free to the farm
ers of Wisconsin.
The system was worked out on
number of farms in the state by the
department of agricultural economics,
which is now prepared to help farm
ers increase their profits through bet
ter business methods. The accounts
include complete records of the labor,
feeding, and other branches of farm
expenditure, that the cost of each pro-
duct and its return may be estimated.
All the farmer needs to do is to
mail a monthly statement to the Col
lege of Agriculture ON blanks furnish
ed free by the college, matter of
only few minutes work daily. A
member of the faculty will visit the
farm, make a survey of it, assist in
the inventory of the property and help
start the accounts. At the end of
the year the monthly statements are
compiled in an annual report, with the
gains and losses figured out, and this
is returned to the farmer, without its
having cost him cent.

Wiregrass Products
In Railroad Office
Ticket Office Of A. B. & A. VIII
Have Display of County Pro-
ducts.

The Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic railroads city ticket office
windows on Peachtree street will
soon become continuous panoramr
displaying the actual products OF
counties in the famous Wiregrass
section of south Georgia. General
Passenger Agent w. H. Leahy has
planned the unique project and it
will be put into operation beginning
with this week.
During the past week display OF
.pecans and Georgia yams from south
Georgia has been attractively eX-
hibited in this window, which is one
of the largest and most conspicuous
on Peachtree street. This exhibit
proved so popular that it was decided
to invite similar displays from other
counties, each countys products to
be kept in the window for a period
of ten days or moru. Colquitt coun-
ty has already accept the opportu-
nifty offered by Mr.. Leahy, and is as
Asembling a complete line of her
rich products for the coming week.
After Colquitt, Thomas county
5. will very likely put in her display,
to be followed in turn by Dolly,
where the famous experimental farm
at Byromville is located. Others
will follow in turn.
The window display will undoubt-
edly serve the same purposes as an
exposition. Tens of thousands of
people, many of,them visitors from
other sections of the country seek
ing homes in the south, pass this
point each week. With the install
lation of the Great White Way" il
Elimination next month the window
display of agricultural products will
be readily seen at night as well as
by day, and the wire-grass section
will thereby get an unlimited amount
of the most attractive advertising
possible.
The Enterprise will give years
subscription to the man furnishing
the best Ben Hill exhibit for the A.
B. & A. Show window in Atlanta.
. The most acceptable to Mr.. Leahy.

Boil WeeviI Conference

After consultation with the State
and National Departments OF Agrl-
culture, representative farmers and
officials connected with various az
ricultural organizations, cotton oil
mills, fertilizer factories and others
interested in the cotton crop, the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce has
called Boil Weevil Conference for
November 22nd 23rd, at the Atlanta
Auditorium, beginning at $3.50 p. m.
the 22nd.
DR.. S. A. Knapp, of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
who has been the field marshall IN
the boil weevil fight in Texas and
other States West of US, and several
other gentlemen engaged in that
fight will take part in this conference.
The Commissioners of Agricul-
ture for all the Southern States, will
be in session here at the same time
and several of them will be on the
program.
DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, President
of the State College of Agriculture,
Mr.. E. Cabniss President of the
Georgia Farmers Union, Mr.. j. J.
Conner, President of the State Az
ricultural Society, and Mr.. John
Brown, President elect of that body,
have been invited to take part and
all are expected.
The executive officers of the most
important railroads will meet in
Atlanta with boil weevil experts
several days before the Conference
and consider plans to be submitted
to that body for adoption.
This is believed to be the most
important movement of an indus
trial nature started in Georgia since
the Civil War, as the entire cotton
crop, worth $15O,OOO,OOO a year, is
staked on the fight against the Boil
Weevil, which will inevitably reach
Georgia within three or four years,
and possibly sooner.
The Committee asks your co-ope-
ration and requests that you present
this matter to your readers in the
first issue of your paper and con-
tinue the agitation until after the
Conference.

fare for the round trip, haxe been
