FOR ROYAL WHEAT
They Are Operating Out In The
Neighborhood OF Spokane
For Special Brand

Spokane, Wash, NOV. 3.@-scien-
lists Of prominence are searching the
grain belts of the Pacific slope and
intermountain country to secure a
proper consort for Queen Bluestem,
the royal wheat Of the Inland EN-
pire and the Northwest The sue
cess of the quest will mean millions
or dollars annually to farmers In the
western country. The grain is high
er in protein than other wheats; it
makes more flour because OF increas-
ed gluten values consequently, II
sells at from two or four cents more
than the next best varieties.
Turkey Red wheat has been COM
bined with Bluestem at the expert
ment station farm in connection with
the Washington State college at
Pullman, and produced this year so
bushels the acre The milling
qualities are high, the only draw
back being that the wheat is dark.
Bluestem Is not as prolifice in
yield as Red Russian or the hybrid
wheats, which produce from rs to 40
bushels the acre. Il ghteen to 25
bushels an acre has been made in
the Big Bend district, west of Spo-
kane, where, Ii it can be used in a
hybrid. the production would be in
creased from 100000 to 5000, 900
bushels annually.
Professor Olson, who originated
the new hybrid, called Turnkey
Bluestem, and exhibited specimens
at recent fairs. has not distributed
any OF the seed to farmers, as other
tests to be made. This also is true
of scores of other new hybrids de-
veloped at the state college
Flew persons in the cities realize

Wonsetler, "but the farmers of the
west are watching the worke with

custom with some women to devote

called morbidly joyous search for

With others they simply hurried other

nothing would Interfere with the

just trusted to luck that the day
would not be made wholly unbearable
by the absence OF some trivial incl
dent suggestive OF woe.

A Wagon Load of Mail Awaited
The Cherokee COunty Farmer

MARIETTA, Ga.-Pressure from
every part of Georgia is growing so
strong that it is a commonly accept
ed belief that Joe Brown will an
nounce for governor within a short
time. When he returned here after
spending ten days on his Cherokee
county farm he found a wagon load
of mail awaiting him.
Much of it is from former support
ers of Governor Smith in almost ev-
cry county Of the state, and they say
that if he will consent to the use of
his name he will be overwhelmingly
elected regardless of who may OPP
pose him.
From Dawson, Terrell county, is
a petition signed by active support
ers of Governor Smith in all of his
campaigns urging Little Joe" to en-
ter the race in the interest of politi-
cal peace and harmony and pledging
him their support
Governor Brown said that there

opment of other thriving communi-
ties-a thing not now encouraged
because of the very conditions of re-
moteness that the new county is des-
ignated primarily to eliminate.
The population of the proposed
county of Griggs is given by the
committee. which is in charge of the
campaign as Is, 400 people; it's tax
able property is $2,500,0OO; it's area
225 square miles The tax values
of Doerun are said to be $550,0OO.
The Atlanta Journal says the per-
tinent facts and figures have been
marshalled by the campaign commit
tee and are being used very forceful-
ly in the arguments advanced for
the creation of the county.
The champions of the new county
claim that there is very little opposi-
ton to it, if any at all, that is worthy
of consideration. They have the
good will of the senators who are
concerned; they have the consent of
the county representatives; they
have all that they need, in fact, to
thoroughly convince the legislators
that the creation of Griggs county
will serve the best interests of that
portion of the state.

Members have been found at
work in Bloomington, Springfield,

Buffalo, st. Louis, Chicago and other
cities. Two of the gang have been
convicted and are now imprisoned in

are successful in following the clues
we are working on. The frebug
problem is one of the most important
which confronts the country. Even
without the cases of arson the fire
losses of the country are appalling.
The fire loss in this country amounts
to about $500 per minute. In Chi
cago the loss is 100000 a year,
while in Berlin the annual loss does
not exceed 5000, 900. We need to

A VALUABLE INDUSTRY.
Missouri Uses Every Bit of Cotton
Plant, Even to the Roots.

A valuable INDUSTRY of Missouri,
which is forging rapidly to the front
and becoming very important, is the
conversion into high grade oil of cot
ton seed, now valuable commodity,
though few years ago it was burn
ed as fuel after the spring planting
was over to get rid of it.
The producing factories of Mis-
souri, in 1910 turned out cotton seed
oil, meal, hulls, linters and grabbots
to the value of $805,831 and sent all
to market, some being shipped as far
away as the New England states to
compete with the output of eastern
and southern factories, a good show
ing for Missouri since the state is
not generally classed as a cotton
grower.
The cotton plant consists of four
parts, the fiber, seed, stalk and roots
The fiber, which is the cotton itself,
will be dealt with fully in later bull
letin. The seed produces the oil,
linters, cake and meal, and the bulls,
which alone now have a greater COM
mercial value than the whole seed
did few years ago. The stalks of
the plant are used for stock food,
coarse fiber paper and fertilizer. The
roots are converted into medicine,
and also used as a fuel and fertilizer.

FED PEST NITRO--THEN BANG f!
SUGGESTION TO FARMERS WHO
HAVE CATERPILLARS.
Accidental Discovery of an InfallibIe
Remedy. Worms Drop to the
Ground and Explode.

Caterpillars are reported to have
made their appearance in some of
the cotton fields of this section, and
for the benefit of our farmers The
News reproduces from a Pennsylva-
mia newspaper whose reputation for
truth and accuracy is first-class an
account of the discovery of a sure
and almost instantaneous remedy for
the pest:
''Elihu Batdorf, a quarryman, liv-
ing near Breinigsville, claims to have
solved the caterpillar question. The
other day he happened to spill a
small quantity of nitroglycerine over
some bushes. Shortly afterwards
he heard a series of sharp explosions
coming from that direction. Upon
going to investigate he found that
the caterpillars were devouring the
explosive, and that they would
scarcely more than taste it than they
would drop to the ground and blow
up with a loud report.
Being an ingenious man Mr.. Bat
dorf Immediately saw great possibili-
ties in this great accidental discovery
and began to experiment. He reason
ed that pure nitroglycerine would be
rather expensive for the destruction
of the caterpillars, but found, after
several trials, that an ounce of the
explosive material mixed with about
four gallons of water would answer
perfectly.
Spraying a tree with this MKT
ure, which costs only a few cents,
rids it of caterpillars in a few min
utes. Before the spraying is COM
pleted the caterpillars begin to drop
and explode, and in a minute or two
there is a continuous fusilade sound
ing like volleys of miniature mus
kerry.
TT is found, too, that the shock Of
the explosions effectually destroys all
of the other pests on the tree. Mr.
Batdorf has applied for a patent, and
is organizing company to exploit
his discovery"

TERRELL COTTON YIELDS
INTERESTING FIGURES FROM
CENSUS BUREAUS REPORT
ON COTTON PRODUCTION.
THE BIGGEST YEAR WAS 1908

But One Other County in the United
States Yields as Much of the Sta
pie Per Square Mile. Average
Production Per Acre. Some Other
Interesting Facts.
The News has received from the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
through Congressman Roddenbery,
a bulletin containing interesting in
formation and statistics on cotton
production in the United States
The number of bales of cotton
ginned in Terrell county the past
five years was: 27,572 in 1906;
34,122 in 1907; $500 in 1908;
34,172 in 1909; 26,777 in 1910.
AS is already known, government
figures show that Terrell county
grows more cotton per square mile
than any other county in the United
States with the exception of MARI
borough county, South Carolina
which exceeds it by few bales.
The production in Georgia from
the crop of 1910 amounted to /.
820,610 of 500-pound gross weight
bales. While this is only 100000
bales less than the crop Of 1908, the
largest crop ever produced in the
state, it is the smallest grown in the
last four years. The production in
Louisiana has been falling off stead
lily for a number of years.
The production for all states, ex-
cept Georgia and Louisiana, showed
material increase in 1910 over
1903. The Texas crop in 1910 was
more than half million bales larger
than in 1909. Texas produced 20
per cent of the total crop of the
country in 1910.
The area planted in cotton in 1910
was 33, 900 acres, of which L.
OBS, 900 acres, or per cent, were
abandoned, leaving 32,403, 900 acres
as the area from which the crop was
produced. The average production
per acre in 1910 was III pounds,
compared with ISL pounds in 1909.
1t is interesting to observe that be-
tween 1879 and 1910 the acreage
| increased 124 per cent and the pro-
| duction 10S per cent.
In 1889 Delaware, Maryland, Indi-
ana and Illinois all produced cotton,
IlIuOlS dlOu6 contributing more IMAM
5000 bales. Stimulated by the high
prices following the civil war cotton
was cultivated to limited extent in
West Virginia, Nevada, California,
| Illinois and Utah, in all of which
states it's cultivation subsequently
ceased. New Mexico, which produc-
ed more than 1000 pounds of cotton
| in 1853, afterwards abandoned it's
culture, but has again established
the industry, having produced about
SO bales in 1910. California also
has resumed the culture, having a
yield this year of more than 5000
bales.
The values of the cotton and the
seed are combined to constitute the
total value of the cotton crop, which
is 1868, 100000, compared with
1912, ,00G for 1909; $681,230,-
900 for 1908; 800, 100000 for
1907, and 1921, 100000 for 1906.
Thus the value of the crop of 1910
as estimated is 1851, 100000, or
1876 per cent, more than the esti-
mate for 1909, notwithstanding the
fact that the quantity of lint cotton
is only 161 per cen greater. The
crop of 1910 is the most valuable
ever produced. .-.-.

Another Heated Debate When 1t
Came Up on Third Reading.
After long and heated debate in
the senate Thursday, the session
running to o'clock, the Ault reso-
luton calling fora complete and full
investigation of the department of
agriculture was passed.
Senator Hamilton offered an
amendment to have the committee
report on August 10. This brought
President Slaton to the floor with
strenuous objection on the ground
that it would kill the entire investi-
cation.
Senator Hamilton saw the force of
the contention and wanted to with
draw his amendment, but Senator
Sheppard objected, and it was then
killed.
Another amendment proposed to
kill the section providing that the
investigating. committee sit in extra
session ten days during the time be-
tween sessions, if necessary, was vot-
ed down, and the resolution passed
without amendment. 1t had already
been unanimously passed by the
house.
The department now faces a seri-
Gus investigation, which is likely to
extend over a period of several
months.

The following political story from
the Atlanta Georgian will be read
with much interest in this section,
especially in the Eleventh senatorial
and Second congressional districts:
Matters looked much like Sena-
tor Emmett Shaw for governor Tues
day morning.
The senator had not fully made
up his mind to enter the gubernato-
rial Marathon, but had the matter
under serious consideration. He has
been urged to make the race, tele-
grams and letters deluging his desk.
Monday night members of the
house representing the counties of
Clay, Randolph and Terrell, the
counties which are in Senator Shaw s
district, the Eleventh, met and unan-
imously endorsed their senator for
governor of Georgia.
When Senator Shaw was inform
ed of their action he was much graf
flied and stated that it would have
great weight in making up his mind
on the question.
Representative Turnipseed of
Clay, Watts of Randolph, and Mel
ton of Terrell represent the counties
of the Eleventh district, and are
unanimous for Shaw for governor;

He supported Hoke, and will
naturally draw some of that factions

and will get a bunch of the Joe

supporters.
I can't see,' continued the Shaw
supporter, why Emmett would not
make the Second congressional dis
trict a good representative. If he
were elected he'd certainly be a can
didate for the senatorship. AS long
as the democrats are in power I can
not see why we have man from
Missouri to WELD the gavel when we
might get a Georgian in the chair.
But let's get him in the gov
ernor's race for this unexpired term;
then Shaw for congress.
