Treasursd Trees.

Two trees to be seen in the main
street Of Thorshavn, the capital Of the
Farce islands, have an interesting his
tory. Trees resolutely refuse to grow
in these Islands, except IN some few
sheltered spots, and the Inhabitants
therefore prize them greatly. When
the road was made II was decided to
leave the trees in the middle Of the
carriage way rather than be guilty Of

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES
By R. W. Thatcher. Director Washington Exper-
iment Station.

By r. w. Thatcher Director Washington Exper-
iment Station.
The reason for the lack of fertility
of pine land soils is not due to the
pitch which such land contains, but to
an absence of a supply of available
nitrogen. The foliage from evergreen
trees adds very little to the supply of
nitrogen in the soil, while the trees
themselves constantly take it from the
soil. In soils which have been burned
over, the heat burns out good deal
of nitrogen in the upper layers of soil.
The ashes are not injurious, but are
highly beneficial to the soil.
The real difficulty is that the grow
ing of pine and fir trees on soil poor in
nitrogen takes away so large a pro-
portion of the available nitrogen that
when the soil is first brought under
cultivation it will rarely produce sat
isfactory crops. After two or three
years of cultivation the soil gets into
better condition and the nitrogen be-
comes more available and better crops
are obtained. The only remedy for
this condition is thorough cultivation
by the use of some fer
tilizer to put available nitrogen in the
soil to start with. For this purpose,
barnyard manure is best. Glover
would be still better, but clover itself
will rarely grow on this soil without
artificial fertilizer to start with. The
best commercial fertilizer to use on
this kind of soil is dried blood, applied
either in the fall or early spring. If
field peas would grow at all on this
soil, they would make most excel
lent fertilizer if seeded early in the
spring, blowing them under as soon as
they have attained their maximum
growth.

Repeated attempts have been made
to use potassium cyanide as squirrel
poison. The difficulty is to get the odor
of the cyanide disguised so that the
squirrels will eat anything that has
been treated with the chemical. All
attempts which l am familiar with
have failed. The use of cyanide in the
holes late in the season might be
effective if some means could be de-
vised for generating the hydrocyanic
gas from it. This will require the
presence of some acid in the hole to
come in contact with the potassium
cyanide, or orthewise the poisonous
gas will not be given off. The chief
difficulty with all these gas poisons is
that the holes are so long and crooked
that there is difficulty in getting the
gas to penetrate far enough to reach
the animal before it is absorbed by the
soil.

Wherever sagebrush and cactus
flourish, there agricultural crops will
also grow. If the prevailing vege-
tation is greasewood or salt grass, the
amounts of alkali are sufficient
enough to injure most agricultural
crops. If the alkali is excessive, how
ever, no vegetation of any kind will
grow on the land.
Another Indication of alkali is the
presence on the surface of the ground
of white crust in the latter part of
August. Alkali is simply an injurious
excess of soluble salts, and at this
season they are brought to the surface
by excess of evaporation, and will al
ways appear on the surface in the
early fall. White alkali includes any
of the soluble salts. "Black alkali, !"
as it is called, is sodium carbonate,
and causes the vegetation on the sur
face of the ground to turn black be-

House Kisses Garde, Chairman
 Of R. R. Committee
Special to The Farmer.)

Hartford, Aug. 31-Mr. Garde of Cromwell, House chairman of the com mittee on railroads, today, discussed Shelton Tramway Company, called down upon himself a round of misses from members in all parts of the House. Both branches of the LegiSla- ture had disagreed on the matter and the bill was up for reconsideration.
 MT. Garde was opposed to the grant ing of the charter on the ground that it was new business and therefore out of order. He said:
 There seems to be a we'll organiz- ed and concerted movement against the railroads in this state. Now rep resent the people and not the corpor- ations, yet I would class the oppon- ents of corporations as legislative an- archists.''
 "We are here to safeguard the in- terests of the people of the country. It was proposed to give this corpora tion power to issue bonds purely on the presumed value of it's franchise as estimated by it's own engineer Acting for the pu bhic good we decide that representatives of the state should pass upon this very important ques- tion and now comes. the proposal that we completely abandon this effort and meekly surrender to those who are in this corporation. It is the rawest proposition I ever beard"

SUGAR PRICES
 CONTINUE TO GO UP.

New York, Aug. 31.-Grocery cir cles here showed concern yesterday over the high prices now prevailing in the sugar market. There was an- other advance in granulated during the day, to 6.25 cents, representing full cent rise in the past few weeks and the highest level in many years.
 Coming at the height of the can ming season, this advance is of vital interest 10 consumers all over the country. It is attributed primarily to poor sugar beet crop in Europe, following prolonged drouth this sum- mer. To make matters worse, the Cuban crop, which furnishes the bulk of raw material for American refin- ers also proved short, and prices be- gan to soar.
 Far-sighted dealers bought large supplies some months ago, leaving the market almost bare of stock, and raw sugars in consequence have made new high records, while many operators in the street predict that the end is not yet in sight.

Judson Would Turn Searchlight Into Big

(Continued from First Page)

(Continued from First Page)
 Senator Judson declared that the proposition was a monstrous one. He said that if it were so that the con- tending factions had terminated their differences, the duty of the Senate was to table the whole proposition until the nature of the settlement was learned by the Senate. Judson de- clared that 1t was a most absurd spectacle for the Senate to undo, what it had done in the interest of safe guarding the public solely on the ground that private interests hitherto at war had buried the 11atchet. He said that he would be ashamed to go back home and face the people if the Senate took such action simply be- cause the lobby had agreed to bury their differences. He said in the name of the people of the State of Connec- ticut he objected to such kinds of leg islation. He was strongly supported by Senators Brinsmade and Hooker.
 Senator Woodruff said he had voted for the Judson amendment because he believed that with the interests con- cerned at war among themselves it was the proper thing to do. In view of the settlement of their differences he saw no reason why the bill should not pass.
 Senator Judson replied that it might Ut SIlOwH tiDdI tiiS Ulll pdooJ Okt however the Senate was entitled to time to study the extraordinary situa- tion which had so unexpectedly devel- oped
 After the Senate had first voted against the Judson motion to table the proposition, 1t subsequently, with out taking further action on the bill voted to take a recess until 2:30 so that the end for which Judson strove was attained
 During the debate upon this bill yes- terday afternoon one of the Senators said it was one of the biggest steals that the State had ever known.
 Subsequently the Senator modified this statement One of the biggest and most active Hobbies in the history of legislation in Connecticut hos been at work on this bill.

 New York, Aug. 31-Counsel for both sides in the trial of Paul Geidel, for the murder of William H. Jackson, broker, summed up at this morning $ session of the court. Immediately af- ter the recess, Judge Crane charged the jury and it retired to consider the evidence.
 In his argument, Attorney Gray, for Geidel, insisted that his witnesses had shown that Jackson's death was due to natural causes. He also insisted that Geidel had gone to Jackson s room, not to rob him, but to get S10 the aged broker had promised him. police were concerned, Gray said, they were forced from the boy because ''he had been frightened by the third de- gree of the police officials
 Gray said that Paul Geidel was sought as a "child victim of the moloch of the metropolis scapegoat of the hypocrisy of the city as represent cd by the officials and he bitterly at tackled the character of the dead man.
 Assistant District Attorney Knott declared there had never been a more brutal murder in the history of the city. He insisted that Geidel had confessed to the police because he be- lieved that by so doing he could es- cape death as the penalty for his crime. He said that the story told by Geidel on the witness stand was ab- soluteIy at variance with the known facts, that he went to the dickson room for the purpose of robbing an old man who had frightened him, and that when Jackson awakened he had brNutally murdered him.

House Passes Bill To License
 Social Clubs
(By Our Staff Corres.)

Hartford, Aug. 31.-The House spent goodly portion of its time to- day debating the bill providing for the licensing of social clubs. The bill was drawn by Representative w. w. Bent of Bridgeport and encum- bered by many amendments it has been lying peacefully on the clerk s desk for some months.
 Today it was taken from the table for consideration. All of the amend ments with the exception of one of- fered by Representative Bent were defeated. The amendment introduc- ed by MT. Bent provides for the li- censing of clubs at the ratio of one club to every 5000 inhabitants and an annual license fee of $100. Any town with less than 5000 inhabitants may have one club.
 Representative Bent spoke clearly and strongly in favor of the bill as amended saying that his judgment it was a conservative treatment of condition that has given rise to much confusion throughout the state.
 The House evidently agreed with him for his amendment was passed by a substantial ma jority. Before vote could be taken upon the bill ns amended the House recessed for lunch.
 Representative Bent's bill passed the House.

 BUILDING IS
 OBJECTED ID

A building in course Of erection in the business section of Main street, extending at least two feet over the lines of the buildings to each side of it, is causing many public spirited citizens to raise their voices in pro- test. Their ire for the most part seems to fall on the Building Commits sioners within whose authority rests permission for allowing such a con- struction. Figures show that the new building is within the law, being Il feet from the curb line, the establish ed building line of the west side of the street from Seaside Park to Can- non street. The fact is that the con- structors of the other buildings to the north and south of the building in course of construction knew that Main street with an II foot walk would not be of sufficient width and went back two feet from the building line, or E feet. The present builders have en- croached over their lines much to their detriment
 Some of the store owners within the same black say that they will also extend out their stores, and that if the present building in course of con- Struction does not touch the limit mark, they will do so, even if the pres- ent new building is overlapped.

Senate Refuses To Amend Soldiers
 Pension Bill
Senator Judson Favors the Change Proposed by Sen
 ator Spellacy
Especial from United Press.l


 Hartford, Aug. 31-Senator Spellacy of this city today introduced an amend ment to the soldiers pension bill pass ed over the Governors veto. The amendment provided that no veterans widow could be a beneficiary under the new law unless they had enlisted two consecutive years in this State, and that a veteran with an fnoome of $750 a year or a veteran in a home could collect pension under the new law.
 The amendment was defeated 19 to 12.
 Mr. Spellacy defended his amend ment by stating that the time limit would stop the veterans of other States flocking into Connecticut to get the $26 year pension. When 8 man had a $75O income yearly he did not need to be pensioned, said Senator Spellacy, and the same applied to q veteran cared for in a soldiers home.
 Senators Woodruff and Tenn fought the amendment, claiming that any man who faced bullets in the Civil War was entitled to $30 a year from the State. MT. Tenn said that Mr. Spellacy ought to have introduced his amend ment before today. Senator Judson favored the amendment. It would be ridiculous to pay wealthy veterans the $3O pension. said MT. Judson.
 Upon motion of Senator Judson, the invitation extended by the Senate yes- tefrday to President Taft to deliver an address before the General Assembly, Sept. z, was withdrawn. It was stat ed that the President could not pos- sibIy find time to speak to the mem bers.

American Association
 Wants Same Rights as
 the Two Big Leagues
Especial from United Press }


 Cincinnati, Aug. 31.-Members of the National Commission awoke, to- day, to the realization that at the present session they were facing a crisis following a late meeting, last night in which the American As sociation demands were discussed. The commission realizes that the future of organized baseball depends upon the action they take in this matter. The demands include
 S5,000 for every player drafted by the major leagues, the drafting to be done on July l; a higher classification than any other minor league with ex- ception of the Eastern League; that the American Association may have the right to purchase players under the same conditions as the major leagues; only one player to be draft ed from a club in a season.
 If these are granted it means that the American Assciat tion will be placed on the same footing as the major leagues.
