1t is claimed thas the royalty paid
the United companx is about ri
cents per pair of shoes.
Last year the company brought suit
against Thomas G. Plant. a Boston
shoe manufacturer, charging patent
infringements. Plant sold out his
shoe machinery plant and patent
rights to the United company after
a bitter fight.
A few months later an independent
company-the Bresnahan Shoe Ma
chinery company of Lynn, Mass
was also purchased, by the United
company.
The next important happening in
the life of the United Shoe Machin-
cry company was the unexpected gov
ernment probe. The special grand
jury was called August 1. Govern
ment agents stated before serving
subpoenas that the question of leases
would be a vital question for the
grand jury to consider. The jury
made an extensive investigation, sit
ting four and five days a week dur
ing the entire month Of August.

revolutionary agitation now foment-

der cover of workingmen's strikes.
Well known republican parliamen-
tary leaders stand aside from the
present movement, which is socialis-
tic in character. Martial law in
Spain followed reports of violence in
connection with workingmen's
strikes which have been called in va
rious cities to further what the gov

The most serious situation is at va
Iencia, where a general strike was 6e-
clared yesterday.
The rioters murdered judge and
wounded other officers of the court
which had been engaged in the trial
of those who had been arrested ear
lier in the day. The mob was fin
ally dispersed by guards from the
custom house.
Strikes also have been declared a.
Bilboa, Saragossa, Cadiz, Huelva, Sc

some of these places the movement
has been but partially successful.

TIoN THERE.

st. John N. B., Sept. 19.-Final

dieting that they will come out of
the contest with 12 representatives

county where at the last election o.
S. Crockett. conservative, defeated his
liberal opponent b more than 300
votes. The government workers are
hopeful that Hon. William Pugsley,
minister of public works, viii carry
with him James Lowell as the city
and county member.
On the other hand the conserva-
tives say they wilr gain several
seats in the province and viii re
eject Crockett and, perhaps, defeat
Pugsley himself. The campaign for
the last week has Deen intense, par
ticularly toward the close. and
marked interest has been shown by
the electors.
1t is practically all reciprocity. for

hours afterward there should be a
fair indication of the result in the

AGRICULTURAL IN
TERESq ADVANCED
Through the A. B. S. Co.
Agricultural Department
WILL FURNISH
LOCAL BULLETINS
On Crop Conditions In This Section
Valuable Suggestions that viii
Tend to Better Farming

The Enterprise takes pleasure in
informing its readers that commenc-
ing with this issue the agricultural
department of the American Beet
Sugar Co. will each week furnish
this paper with a condensed state
ment or suggestions on crop affairs.
These suggestions will be prepared
in the form of bulletins such as are
sent out by the State Agricultural
college, and as they are from a local
standpoint and refer to local crops
they will undoubtedly be of great
value to the farmers of this section.
These bulletins will be prepared by
the A. b. S. Co. with HI view of ad-
vancing the agricultural interests of
the Arkansas Valley, and as they will
not be- confined to beets. but treat of
local crops generally. it is believed
that they will greatly assist toward
better farming in this vicinity. Bull
letin No. follows:
The precipitation during February
has softcned the clods and surface of
the ground to a depth varying from
four to five inches. therefore, it is a
good plan to break up the clods at
the earliest possible date so that any
additional moisture that may fall. pre-
vious to plowing may be of benefit in
dissolving the hard formation of soil
Considerable land has been irri-
gated and on these fields the action
of the water on the soil has had its
full benefit. as through freezing, the
soil was left in loose condition.
Preparation of soil is one of the
essential points in good crop yields.
u one will stop to realize that in Of
der for the roots of any plant to per-
form their proper function, they must
have the proper environments for
this purpose. A hard cloddy open
subsoil will mean a serious set back
to the early development of the plant.
as it is to be well imagined that the
roots penetrating the soil must find
4 good bed in which to develop and
from which the. plant and moisture
is taken. 1t is therefore recommend
ed that the disc be freely used in
preparation of soil previous to plow-
ing
Lap discing of the soil will thor
oughly pulverizc same to a depth Of
! to S inches; also many insects will
be disturbed in their hibcruating
stage. grasshoppcr egg pods as we'll
as those of other insect exposed to
the drying Of the sun as well as the
feeding of birds. whenever the field
is plowed this well pulvcrized str
face soil is turned under. leaving the
ground in ideal condition for the de-
velopmcnt OF the root system of the
plants to the depth of the furrow.
Although this method may seem of
considerable work to many. it will
require less work in the final prcpara-
ton of the soil for the seed. The
draught in plowing of the ground will
be considerably lightcncd as the
ground will turn easily over the mole
boards. Also considerable work will
be saved in not having to follow the
blowing with exceptionally deep
narrowing.

WANTS DEFINITE DATA
So That Sugar Beet Raising May Be
Improved.

Mr.. J. c. Jensen OF the American
Beet Sugar Co, in charge of the ag
ricultural investigation OF soils in
the valley. is sending to each grow
er the following letter, with view
of getting more definite data on soil
conditions. etc, in the valley:
In order to make sugar beet rais-
ing in. the Arkansas Valley 4 more
important factor in agriculture, and
with view to improving both the
quantity and quality of the beet from
the standpoint OF beet grower and
manufacturer. the Company has in
stituted series of definite beet cul-
different parts of the valley.
Besides the work carried on by the
Company on these experimental
and as accurate general field informa-
ton as possible about the beet crop
conditions throughout the valley dur
ing the growing season. As any i'm
provement which might be affected
in the crop is of mutual advantage to
the grower and manufacturer, the
growers are earnestly asked to COM
municate to the Company or field
agents, any peculiar conditions in
their beet fields which they might OBJ
serve during the season, in order that
the fields may be made special cases
of study by the Company. The Com
pany would especially like to be in
formed about fields showing either
excellent crops OF bcets or fields on
which the crop is abnormally poor.
