WHAT THE TARIFF BOARD Is
DOING.

Whether or not President Taft's
tariff board shall so justify itself as
to become a permanent part of the
machinery of government, it is sure
to exert a real influence upon the
next revision of the revenue laws.
Every one viii be Interested. there
fore, in the explanation of its aims
and methods given by its chairman,
Prof Emery, in a recent speech at
Chicago
One very useful piece of work on
which it is engaged is a sort of tariff
directory, which will contain infor-
nation concerning every article on
the dutiable list the character ana
extent of its use, the conditions sur
rounding its production at home or
abroad, and the amount of domestic
output, importation and expectation.
Investigation is next to be direct
ed upon the cost of production OF
each article at the farm the shop OF
| the mill; and finally the matter
| of prices at home and abroad, and
/ the advantages disadvantages
possessed by foreign competitors
will be studied. =
The amount ofdpbor involved II
| these investigations is 50 great that
at first attention will be concentrat.
| ed on the pulp and paper, WOODEN and
| farm products schedules. Lat II met
ais, chemicals and cotton goods will
| be taken up.
Mr.. Emery sees clearly that what
ever his board does the tariff can
not really be taken out of politics
For when every possible item of in
| formation has been collected and
published, there will still re-
| main the basic economic question
which is the wisest policy to pursue
the protective system, the revenue
tariff, or absolute free trade?
The tariff board can assist great
ly in assuring an intelligent and just
imposition of duties; upon the more
fundamental issues political parties
always have divided and probably
always will divide Youths Com
panion.

A SAD BLOW TO SAFE BLOWERS
Material Discovered that Will Re-
sist the Acetylene Blow Pipe
of Bank Burglars.
Associated Press Special.

Washington, Feb. "a sad blow
dustry as the result of the discovery
of material that viii resist the
acetylene blow-pipe. In police AMI
burglar circles it has been an accept
ed fact when a burglar had an OPP
portunity to apply the fierce flame
of the blowpipe to any kind Of Il
safe, the looting was, there, mat
ter of only few minutes
Now the blowpipe is to be foilcd
and the way is told by the United
States Consul, Albert Halstead. sta
toned at Birmingham, England. In
describing a test made to prove the
remarkable qualities of the acety-
lene defying material Halstead says:
"a safe door section had been
built up of two sheets of half-inch
steel, with a layer of this resisting
material between. A drill was first
employed, but while it easily bit its
way through the outer case of steel,
it failed to make any impression
on the inner filling and when the
drill was withdrawn, after five min
utes application, all the edge had
had gone from it. In fact, 1t mao
been ground perfectly smooth.
Next the oxy-acetylene blowpipe
was brought into play. the cone of
intense light giving off heat OF
$500 degrees F. and exerting
pressure of so pounds to the inch.
Almost directly the steel covering
the region of the drill hole became
ncandescent Then came shower
of white hot particles, and the metal
began to bubble over Ikea miniature
crater, but as soon as the outel
steel had been burned away and the
inner material had been reached the
blowpipe 'back-fired' and was ex-
tinguished.
Cline after, time it was relighted,
but after a second or two's applica-
ton it was put out of action. the
material in fact proved absolutely
invulnerablo, and when the blowpipe
was examined the cone was found
to have been completely burned
away This was the first time in the
iiscoverer's experience that such a
thing had happened and while al
fording evidence of the immense
heat employed it also provided con-
vincing proof of the resisting pow
er of the new material, Indeed
when later the blowpipe was played
on a slab of the material it simply
reached a glowing heat, while
strangely enough, it was subdued
Immediately an ektra jet of oxygen
was put on. This is quite contrary
to usual experience. for the extra
oxygen is employed for cutting pur-
poses.
when the blowpipe was with
drawn the sign of its application
was slight uneveness on the surface.
similar application would have
been to make cut of at least a
foot in steel three inches thick"

PEANUTS AND PROSPERITY.

gree of contempt for land which he

wouldn't raise a goober pea" Those
engaged in the production of goo.
Der peas" or peanuts, were gener-
ally shiftless, poor and ignorant
people who lived en- little and in
many instances wore less
But now things have changed,
The peanut is coming into its own,
1t is being ranked as an exception
ally profitable crop and the produc-
ers are taking their place among the
most prosperous farmers of the
south. The 'goober pea land, for
merly held in contempt and Oh
which men would hardy pay taxes is
now selling at high prices, Condi-
tions have changed within the past
few years and this is another fine
example of the progress being made
in agriculture. No man is ashamed
of "goober pea land now.
A dispatch from Gonzales tells of
the shipment from there of seven
car loads of peanuts recently ana
that is only about half the crop OF
that immediate section. Prices were
better than last year and the produ-
GERS sold tie peanuts for an aver
age of $1,000 car, 1t is estimated
that for each car of nuts shipped
there was produced hay of equal val
ne, making the total value of each
car $4,000
At Alvarado, William Bust, a pros
porous farmer, tried out peanut rails
ing this year. He planted four acres
This netted him 1870 bushels, which
sold at $ a bushel. He put up two
tons of hay, valued at $26. Thus the
four acres brought him 1856, or an
average of $3S an acre. This crop
was produced on the poorest sandy
land in the county and during a
year when the drouth was the worst
'or ten years past.
There have been other examples
If the same sort. Much of the sandy
oil of Texas, long considered value
ess. could be turned into profitable
arms by planting peanuts. Where |
he peanuts are marketed, with the |
ops, they make the best possible

Jamaica Ginger in Texas.

San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 3.-Ja-
maica ginger from Texas fields is
one of the possibilities of the neal
future. Experiments made For the
past three years by Professor Green
head of the experiment gardens at
Brownsville, have demonstrated that
Southwest Texas is admirably adap-
ted to the growth of this plant. Prof.
Green has experimental with thous-
ands OF plants from all parts of the
world and has found many of them
especially adapted to the soil and
climatic conditions of this section of
the country 1t is his opinion that
Southwest Texas is a more suitable
place for the cultivation Of ginger
than Southern China, where the
bulk of the product of the world il
grown today. II is maintained that
five acres devoted to ginger Will give
a greater return than fifty acres OF
any other crop known So far the
ginger used in the United States is
imported into this country PROBES
sor Green, however, takes the posi-
ton that it is useless to import veg
etables that may be grown at home
profitably He sees as great success
in ginger culture in Southwest Tex
rs as that which has been attained
in growing Bermuda onions.
