Salt Suggestion.
Illinois Farmer at Durant Re
lates Experiences During
Bad Year.

Durant, Okla, Jan. 25.-Salt
is the latest remedy to be advo-
Gated for the relief of Oklahoma
crops from the ravages of drouth
and destructive insects. The
suggestion is made by John
Armm of southern Illinois, who
is spending the winter in Durant.
Armm was for nearly twenty
years a farmer and fruit grower,
and reports most beneficial re-
suits from the use of salt scat
tered broadcast over the ground.
While brine or salt in large guam
titles is known to be destructive
to all vegetation, a limited
amount of salt produces quite
opposite results.
Armm made his first visit to
Oklahoma last spring, aud spent
several months here inspecting
farm lands and studying crop
conditions. He returned early
in the fall and has since con-
tinued his observations. From
his study and experiments he is
convinced the soil in this immed-
late section is lacking in several
essential elements, which, how
ever, can be supplied at a small
expense and with little effort. In
addition to salt he urges the use
of potash and lime on the soil.
The former can easily be supplied
BY wood ashes, while the latter
Is inexpensive. A splendid fer
tilizer can be made by mixing
one part lime and one part SALT
with two parts of wood ashes.
Best results are obtained when
the fertilizer is scattered broad
cast over the soil in the spring.
The ground should be deeply
plowed during the fall and wiz
ter and narrowed at frequent In
tervals to prevent crust form :
ing.
Armm says his first expert
ment with salt in agriculture
was made during the drOuth Of
1881, which was one Of the most
distinctive eYes recorded ID Iil-

inois. For thirteen successive
weeks during the late spring and
summer no rain fell, and as a re-
suit no fall crops were made,
while wheat and other small
grains were badly damaged by
chinch bugs. 1t was to rid his
fields of these pests Armm first
used salt. The idea was gained
by reading an article on the sub
ject published in a New York
paper, which indicated the worth
of salt as a destroyer of crop
killing insects has long been
known. Chinch bugs thrive and
multiply rapidly in dry weather
and during the drouth of 81 the
corn stalks were literally covered
with millions of the pests. So
thick were they the offensive
odor emitted by them was nau-
seating to all who passed the
corn fields. From the corn the
bugs went into The ripening
wheat, and even did serious dam
age to peaches and other sum-
mer fruit.
Procuring three barrels of
coarse salt Armm sowed it broad
cast over about two acres of
ground in the middle of a big
field of tasseling corn. That was
early in July and the drouth had
been in progress for several
weeks. The last blowing in the.
corn fields had turned to dust
and during the hot days the corn
withered badly, but was some
what refreshed by dew at night.
Soon after the salt was applied.
it was noticed the surface of the
ground became dark and moist,
while the remainder of the field
was still gray and dusty. The
chinch bugs Immediately left the
corn through which the salt had
oeen scattered and died between.
the rows.
No rain fell until after the
crop was matured, but the salt
sown patch made more than fifty
bushels to the acre, while the re-
mainder of the field was a total
failure, as was also the entiie|
crop of that immediate section.
FarmersNwere even afraid to
feed the fodder for fear Of pois-
oaing the cattle. Imported corn.

full work that was performed last year
by the Shade Tree Commission. Con-
sidering the small amount of money
they had at their disposal, I think that
the results of their efforts are very
gratifying. I think the need of such
a Board is plainly manifest, and that
you will use your best efforts to pro-
vide funds for even better work in
the future.
Abolish Grade Crossings.
Now, just as few suggestions as to
additional needs and future action. The
matter of grade crossings is one which
you will keep constantly before you,
and every time there Is an opportunity
you will use your efforts and influence
to abolish the crossings that we have;
and in establishing new crossings, it is
hardly necessary for me to suggest that
you have them placed either above or
below the level of the railroad track.
In this particular I would urge a
speedy opening of Inslee st. eastward
lly to connect with the busy part of the
city east Of the two railroads, so that
traffic may be easily carried on between
without the necessity of a detour of q
long distance down into the city in or
der to cross Railroad tracks and get
back to destination only q short dis
tance away from the starting point
In legislating upon this matter you
will of course insist that the crossing
|of railroads be accomplished at level
above or below the railroad tracks. ]
!
Of comm mercial interests, but because
many children residing west Of the
railroad tracks attend school No. on
the easterly side of the tracks, and
their crossing several times daily is
fraught with very much danger to their
| lives. Along with the crossing Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad at Conyery
Place, this Inslee street opening ap-
pears to me to be one Of the most
important movements in the way OF
progress that can be made.

OF WONDERLAND
BEACH COMPANY
BURGLAR HAD
A TOUGH JOB
Unable to Get in Budnicki
Store Altar All.

Providence brought no reward to
the burglar who attempted to enter
the clothing and furniture store OF
Budnicki & Company, at 36S State
street, last night, for he was evident
ly frightened away before he was
able to execute his design on the
dry goods store.
His first attempt was to enter by
the main entrance to the store on
State street. Here he sjimmied'' a
lock and hasp on the exterior of the
door from It's fastening and then at
tempted to force the door with his
jimmy but the lock was too stout for
his efforts to gain entrance or else
the approach of some one frightened
him off the main street. He then
went around to the rear of the store
and tried to gain entrance through a
small window. Bars on the inside
of this window prevented him from
getting in there, SO he then tried a
rear door.
The lock here was too strong for
his efforts SO he prdueed a brace and
bit which would bore about an inch
hole, and made holes enough in the
door to make an opening about eigh-
teen inches square. Through this
opening the burglar crawled into a
small room which was separated
from the store by still another
barred door. He got the lock off of
this door, but bolt and paddock
on the inside made it still firm.
At this point the burglar must
have been frightened away, other
wise he would probably have bored
holes IN this door similar TO the
manner in which he gained entrance
from the outside door.
Sleeping In another building with
a window opening right over the
door through which the hole was
bored was Frank Costello, who
heard no unusual sound. Mr.. and
Mrs Charles Martin occupy the
apartment over the Budnicki store

COMMITTEE ON FIRE
GET SPECIFICATIONS

In line with Its plan for reducing
the fire hazard by the passing of or
dinances providing FOR fre escapes and
the protection of life and limb the
Board Of Aldermen is planning for ad-
ditions to the fire fighting apparatus
of the city. Last night motion was
passed empowering the committee on
fire to prepare specifications and TO
get estimates for a third class steam
fire engine and for q combination
chemical engine and hose wagon.
No action was taken on the ordi-
nance providing for fire escapes and
the protection Of life and limb, the
matter having been laid over until the
return Of Alderman F. A. Seaman from
the south. Mr.. Seaman being chair
man of the committee on public
grounds and buildings.
A petition was received having some
ninety signers protesting against the
further passage of the fire escape and
protection of life and limb ordinances.
The petitioners state that the condi-
tions at this time do not warrant the
passage of such ordinances. The petit
tion was referred to the committee on
public grounds and buildings.
According to communication re-
ceived from Washington Hose and
Chemical Company Paul Gerke has been
reelected to the membership of that
company and F. G.. Bunten, having
served seven years is entitled to a
firemen's exempt certificate. The mat
ter was referred to the committe on
fre for disposition.
