UNCLE JOE'S MONEY
Report of Legacy Brings Hun
dreds of Requests
for Aid.

Hundreds Of begging letters, asking for
total Of $lS.OOO.OOO, have been received
by Speaker Cannon during the past week.
Ever since the publication Of the fact
that Uncle Joe had received notification
from king & Co., the Bombay bankers,
that a client Of theirs had made a will,
making him sole heir to fortune OF
$2.JOO.OOO he has been pestered to death
by individuals. partnerships, corporations,
colleges. schools, churches. charitable or
CARNATIONS. benevolent bodies. altruistic
associations. philanthropic guilds and re-
form circles, with opportunities to con-
tribute.
Nor have the widows and orphans been
idle. There are quite number In vari-
GUS states of the Union who will die of
starvation in the next week or. ten days
unless Mr.. Cannon helps them. Incl
dentally. they are doomed.
One college in the south is enthusiastic
over the immediate construction OF a
Cannon industrial hall" The president
Of this institution is confident that neat
building with Uncle JOes name over the
door could be erected for about 500, 1000.
Wants to Buy a Crutch.
An orphan in Paterson, n. j.. asks fol
81 to buy a crutch. This is the mos,
modest demand on the Speakers pros
pective fortune Of fifty thousand English
pounds. From this amount the begging
letters range all the way up to the half
q million for the Cannon Hall.
MIR. Cannon waxed so eloquent when
the first batch of fifty begging letters
came to him that most Of the others have
been kept out of his sight. l.. White
Busbey, his secretary, is handling all
the letters Of this sort, many of which,
owing to the responsible sources from
which they originate. have to be formally
answered.
Incidentally, Mr.. Busbey's hair Is turn.
ing gray and his disposition is suffering.

Test Near Asheville.

One Of the first experiments was made
near Asheville. n. c., and the winter
visitors there readily paid 40 per cent
over the market price for tomatoes when
they knew they were getting real tomb
toes In the can instead OF water, and
where they could see all the stages of
preparation under absolutely sanitary
conditions. Many of the girls made
enough pin money to convince them
selves there was a good business in rails
Ing tomatoes and canning them. Their
ELDERS also saw that the home garden plot
could be cut In half and still raise twice
as much stun as before. il it were worked
in the proper way
The work has spread now so that next
season In all probability there will be a
general competition, and the girls toma :
to clubs will rank with the boys corn
clubs as object lessons to the southern
farmer. showing what his land and eli
mate Will do for him with proper atten-

Results Gratifying.

The corn club scheme has been often
referred to in the Washington papers,
because recently there were a dozen boys
here from the southern states. each of
whom had won his state prize by raising
a maximum crop Of corn at a minimum
Of expense. One of these boys raised over
200 bushels of corn on a measured acre.
Several of them raised over 100 bushels,
and the rest came near the century line.
1t was q revelation to the older southern
farmers to see what could be done by
care and attention compared with the
scattering and inadequte crops they were
raising at the same expense of money and
labor.
Now the girls have come into the field,
and they are being taught how to raise
tomatoes that are tomatoes. and. what is
more, to dispose Of them to advantage
afterward

What the Girls Are Taught.

The method is the same that has been
pursued with the boys. The girls are
taught how to select the best seed. 1t
seems queer that such simple thing as
selecting good seed from which to grow
a good crop should have been so long
in taking hold. But as a matter OF fact
this most obvious fact is what the de-
partment has had to work over the long
est.
The average farmer, not only in the
south, but elsewhere. has thought that
anything was good enough for seed. Just
a single instance will illustrate the gen.
eral attitude. One OF the agents OF the
department was talking with a grain ele-
vator man in Kansas. A farmer had
just come in with a load OF wheat that
was so bad the elevator would not accept
1t at all. 1t was modify, full Of dirt and
broken kernels.
BEST thing you can do with that Is to
take 1t home and feed it to the chickens"
said the elevator man.
Guess not said the farmer. "catch
me wasting it that way. / can use that
for Seed

HARD TO RAISE TOMATOES
SCHEME IS NOT YET GENERAL

Following its work in the south with
corn clubs for boys the Department OF
Agriculture has been experimenting with
similar work for girls The new scheme
is in the form of tomato clubs. The work
has not progressed far enough for gen.
eral exploitation, but DR.. Knapp, the
father Of the corn club idea and OF DEM
onstration work among the southern
farmers, has tried out the scheme in re-
stricted areas and next year in all prob
ability the department will be ready tc
make the work general among the girls
and let them compete for state prizes.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-01-12
Methods of Education.

Similarly during the demonstration
wor6 in the south farmers were requested
to bring in sample ears of corn they in
tended to use for seed in the next sea-
sons planting. AT the farm institute
meeting the need and reason for good
seed was explained and at one meeting
two hundred men threw away the seed
corn they had intended to use and bought
better of their more successful neighbors.
1t was the same way with the girls
and the tomatoes. They were taught the
principles OF seed selection and then en-
couraged to use good seed. The result
was In the two counties where the ex-
pertinent was first tried the girls raised
from two to four times the average crop
OF the locality.
They were taught, too. how the roots
OF the tomatoes developed, what sort Of
cultivating they needed and when, Doing
the work In the right way took more at
tention and intelligent effort, but little
more actual labor. than the old hit and
miss method They raised big crops, SO
big that there was difficulty In selling all
the first-class tomatoes they could out on
the market. But then the department
showed them how to can the product. II
was the old case of the tomato crop in the
west, where the farmer said: I'VE eat
what we can and can what we can't"

Edna Murray Sentenced on
Old Charge in the
Police Court.

Ldna Murray. seventeen years old,
must 70 to jail for a year because she
failed to take advantage Of the chance
to reform given by the Police Court.
She was taken into court today on a
charge of taking $50 from a room in
the house of Joseph Rosenbaum, 1903
Georgia avenue northwest. But the
charge was dismissed because four old
sentences hanging over her head became
operative.
Last July the girl was found guilty
OF stealing jewelry Of more than $50 In
value. from lodging houses. Sentences
of three months on each count were Inn
posed. But the youth OF the girl and
her promises to reform induced the
prosecuting and probation officers to
Join in a plea that she be placed on
probation,
The mother reported that the girl Is
beyond her control. The complaining
witness testified the defendant went to
his house and asked to use the teie-
phone. When left alone In the room
she slipped upstairs and took the money
nom the drawer OF a dresser The
money, according to witnesses, was re-
turned in less than twenty-four hours
by man who is a friend of the girl.

BARBER SHOP
POLICY IN CHURCH,
IS BISHOPS ADVICE
Speaker Tells Missionaries
to Meet Laymen on Busi-
ness Basis in Work.

That Episcopalian rectors should not
conduct their parishes on the barber
shop policy of know
who's boss-around-here start-some-
thing is the belief of Bishop James ii.
Darlington. Instead of rectors assuming
that antagonistic attitude toward the
members of the church he believes they
should court suggestions of the laity
and work In harmony.
This is what the bishop of Harris
burg told 200 men of the Episcopal
church at a dinner at the New Ehbitt
house under the auspices of the Gen.
tral Missionary committee last night
Citing the fact that more members
of the Presidents Cabinet are mem
bers of the Episcopal than of any other
church. and calling attention to the
lic positions from the time of George
Washington, Bishop Darlington said
'Episcopalians have led In business.
but not as laymen."
He attributed this to the fact that
In the past the rectors have held them
selves more or less aioof from the
membership of the church and sug-
gested that the robes of the rector be
the rector and the membership discuss
affairs Of the church az man to man.
Bishop Alfred Harding preceded the
effects of the laymen's missionary
movement
We exist to be missionaries" he
said, The Episcopalian Church is es-
sentially the church OF the layman.
We must produce a healthy laity..n
Both Bishop Darlington and w r.
Cochran OF Baltimore had something
to say concerning the statements that
as much money Is spent In expenses, Of
missionaries as II spent in conducting
the actual missionary work. instead OF
81 expense money being spent for each

Police Seek Cause of
Death of Andrew Zych

The Washington police have wired
the authorities OF Silver City, N. NJ.
for particulars regarding the death Of
Andrew Zych, former District police
man, and a veteran Of the Spanish war,
who was buried yesterday in Mt. Olivet
Cemetery. The body was brought to
Washington, and funeral services were
held In St Dominic's Church.
1t was understood that Mr.. Zych died
from tuberculosis, contracted while at
tending his wife, who died some time
ago In Silver City. The police learned.
however, that an article was published
In a New Mexico newspaper stating
that Mr.. Zych's death was due to ex.
posure following a fall into a ravine
sixty feet deep. With several bones
broken, Mr.. Zych was practically dead
