IN CAMPHOR
Experiment Shows Trees May
Be Grown in Florida.
NEW INDUSTRY OPENS UP
United States No Longer Dependent
Upon Foreign Countries for
Supply of Drug.

Experiments that have been conducted
for several years by the Department OF
Agriculture have progressed to a point
where it seems likely there is new in
dustry open to the south, and one that
will make the United States~ndependent
of a foreign camphor supply In a paper
that has just been issued by Prof. Rodney
True and S. c. Hood the results in
Florida are discussed and the conclusion
is reached that camphor production in
this country is practical, and can be made
profitable.
Japan now furnishes the bulk of the
camphor in the worlds trade. The most
of II comes from Formosa, but a small
quantity IS brought from the mainland
of China. The history of the tree and the
drug Is interesting. and is gone into by
the authors of the paper.
Total Annual Output.
The practical point is that the camphor
monopoly produces about s0OO.OOO pounds
of camphor annually. Of this there are
imported into the United States from
100000 to 100000 pounds. Owing to
the operations of the camphor monopoly.
the price is subject to violent huctua-
tons. In the past three years 1t has
varied between SLIT and % cents pound.
The camphor now produced comes from
the forest trees which are cut down to
supply the gum. There Is no attempt to
replant the trees and If the native supply
gives out the world will be faced with
scarcity and high prices.
The description of the Japanese distil-
lation of camphOr shows that 1t is crude
In the extreme. Bamboo tubes and wood
en- boxes are used as the condensers and
the whole process is primitive and waste
full.
Successful Growth in Florida.
1t has been found that camphor trees
can be grown in Florida and the gulf
states and that the tree is hardy to Il
degrees Fahrenheit. Even If the trees
are killed to the ground by frost. the,
will come up from the roots and there Is
enough camphor in the frost killed wood
to keep distillery running over the time
1t would take the trees to grow back tc
producing size.
In the experiments that have been made
SO far in the south the trees have not
been cut down. but have been planted In
hedge rows and trimmed the trimmings
being used to produce gum camphor and
oil. There were cuttings utilized last
year from 100 trees.
The paper goes at length into the meth
DDS of cultivating the trees and the dis
tillation Of the camphor. 1t Is said that
it is not an industry that can be sue
cessfully handled by small farmer Two
hundred acres is the minimum size OF a
grove that would warrant erecting a dis
tillery, and 800 acres would be better.
Average Yield Per Acre.
The experiments have not gone far
enough to show Just what WELD could he
expected per acre, but from the trees that
have so far been utilized it probably
would be from ITS to 200 pounds of cam
phor per acre.
One advantage of the prospective cam
nhor farm Is that the trees will grow
we'll on soil that is too poor and sandy
to be fit for much else. and the mere mat
ter OF getting land for a grove would be
a comparatively small expense.

Newbold Cops a Fly.

Newbold made the fifth inning notable
by catching a fly from Parkers bat and
in the second half of this round Bayne
and Garrett of the Metropolitan Pill Pun
ishers were retired by Long and Par
ker Of Chevy Chase. in the only double
play of the game. No runs were scored
in either the fifth or sixth innings. Then
came the fatal seventh and all hope OF
victory was relinquished by Chevy
Chase. Moorehead started this eventful
session by biting a bingle TO center:
Bayne drew pass and both men ad-
yanced when Spencer baked. Moore
head scored on a sacrifice fly to right by
Breckenridge. De Sibour doubled. count
ing Bayne. Somerville singled and DE
Sibour registered, and Somerville nicked
the pan when Brooks smashed a drive
to the wall Newbold ended the inning
and the game on an infeld bounder.

Tech Most Jubilant, Naturally.

AS matter of course the students of
the Mckinley High School were the most
jubiant. The four companies of that
school were Toasted in separate rooms.
From time to time the "Razzoo. razzoo"
yell of the school. ending with the name
of one of the four companies, was heard
the length of the building, while sounds
of jollifcation and merriment were con-
tinuous.
Upon the appearance of DR.. George E.
Myers, principal of the school, in the
of its banquet a loud demand for
speech was made by the boys of that
company, which could be quieted only by
compliance Upon finishing their supper
the boys all went to the assembly hall
of the school, where they simply went
wild" Capt. King and his two lieuten-
ants, Kraft and keefer. as well as his
first sergeant. Racoosin. who bore the
flag. were carried in on the shoulders OF
the members of the company.
When asked last evening how it felt
to be winner. Capt. King said: Il
hardly feel human. l think it will be
three or four days before l know any
body.
Capt. King is one of the highest in
scholarship OF his entire class, and is one
of the honor men" of the school.

The Hope of Socialism,
Jefferson %. Union.

Jefferson Go. Union.
Socialism, as its followers in Wiscon-
sin believe it to be- is queer mixture,
In the first place, no two Of its ex-
Founders agree as to what it is Next
their idea of community life and gov
eminent is altogether theoretical. No
nation, state or community has ever
been governed by Socialists. No one
knows whether socialistic nations will
fit or not. So far as tried in this state
it is "a big cry and little wool" as the
devil said when he sheared a hog. No
one would be more appalled, if they
could see their theories of government
carried out The harmless little furry
now in Milwaukee is not socialism for
they could not carry out their ideas ow-
ing to the very uncomfortable fact that
laws already passed and governing
were in the way. But it is amazing,
the number of apparently sensible PEG
pie who are ready TO join every new
scheme of carrying on government
and here lies the hope of socialism

for the senate and his casting of guilt
upon his opponent. The enormity OF
his crime is his violation of the oath.
1t is the peculiar business of the senate
to deal with crimes against its member
ship. But when perjury is committed
before what amounts to tribunal Of
the senate, the offense becomes the
business of the United States govern
ment.
Whatever the determination of the
Lorimer case may be, the matter Of
perjury never should be allowed to rest.
The secret service should follow the
traces for years if required and when
evidence is finally secured to convict
the perjurers they should be punished
in extremity.

Wisconsin Highly Favored.

Wisconsin farm crop report, received
by the state board of agriculture, says
that crop reports for July seem to in
dictate that the good weather conditions
which have prevailed during the spring
and early summer still exist, and, with
few exceptions, most crops are moving
onward to a good harvest. Many re-
porters mention that the conditions are
two weeks in advance However the
prevailing high temperature has made
severe demands upon moisture and a
few localities report that dry weather
did some damage

One of the best of the new laws
relates to the care of cemeteries and
empowers the governing board of a
cemetery to make a reasonable annual
assessment upon the lots, not to exceed
one cent per square foot, for the care
of the lots and general care Of the Gem
etery Governor McGovern approved
the law on May 18th and it is now oper-

PURSUING THE PERJURERs.

Minneapolis journal
The United States Secret Service will
be employed in the Lormer case to
trace through the banks the hundred
thousand-dollar corruption fund and to
establish the fact of perjury either on
the part of Hines, Tilden ct al, or on
the part Of Funk. Such. at least, is
the report from Washington.
Perjury has been committed beyond
doubt. No explanation Of misunder-
standing or coincidence or accident or
mingled error and truth can possibly
reconcile the contradictory testimony.
The versions are opposite and mutually
exclusive. If one is true, the other is
false. With one true, the other is per
jury
Perjury cannot be passed over. The
crime is not merely against the senate,
but against justice itself. If perjury
be permitted to flourish, justice virtual
ly resigns.
Whoever is the perjurer in this case,
the least of his oGense is his contempt

Lake Geneva News: "A sad sight in
deed is the man who stands gazing into
the political past, refusing to accept
the modern idea of progress which has
taken hold of the political world de-
ploring the good old days when the pol
tiles Of the country were handled by a
few chosen men in each community.
He is certainly wasting his time, for
the advance movement of human intel
ligence and civilization has wiped out
the old idea of partizan politics. Men
are studying political conditions rather
than political parties and are voting
citizenship rather than partizanship, so
that the man who refuses to accept the
progressive idea, and sits sorrowfully
gazing into the past, will remain to be
pitied rather than censured.
