The State Commissioners Of Agriculture,

and the ~Enewspapers Of the Southeast

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
WILL ESTABLISH
Farmers BUREAU

Washington, July 31.-President Finley,
OF the Southern Railway Company, an
nounced today that the management OF
that Company, realizing the great oppor-
tunity for increasing the prosperity OF the
territory traversed by its lines through
building up soil productivity and increas-
ing the average crop yield per acre, had
decided to organize a Department Of Farm
Improvement Work to begin operations
on September LIST. This Department will
work on the cooperative demonstration
plan, first adopted by the late DR.. S. A.
Knapp, Of the United States Agricultural
Department. 1t will aim to show to the
farmers what they can do on their WI
lands and with their W resources. This
plan has been.followed with marked sue
cess by the Southern Railway Cotton Gull
ture Department in the territory along
the lineHof the advance Of the Mexican
cotton boil weevil. 1t is now proposed to
extend the work over the system general
ly and to adapt it to the peculiar condi-
tions OF each locality.
The Cotton Culture Department is to
be merged into the Department OF Farm
Improvement Work, and Mr.. TO. Punk
EFT, who has been General Agent OF the
Cotton Culture Department, is to be at the
head OF the new organization with the title
OF Manager of Farm Improvement Work.
His!ofice will be in Atlanta, Ga, and three
Assistant Managers of Farm Improve

at advantageous points. A force of field
agents will be appointed to visit farmers
in their respective localities and cooper
ate with them for the demonstration OF
those methods Of culture and soil treat
ment which may be expected to produce
the best results in the way Of increased
crop yields. This work will be carried on
in co operation with the State Commits
sioners Of Agriculture, the Estate Agricul-
tural Colleges, and the United States Agri-
cultural Department. 1t will be entirely
free of cost to farmers wishing to avail
themselves of it in the territory traversed
by the lines Of the Southern Railway; Ala
bama Great Southern Railroad; Cincinnati
New Orleans & Texas Pacific Railway;
Georgia Southern 4 Florida Railway; Mo-
bile and Ohio Railroad; Il Northern Ala
bama Railway; Southern Railway lin Mis-
sissippi, and Virginia & Southwestern
Railway.
The work Of the department of Farm
Improvement Work is to be entirely sep
arate from that Of the Southern Railway
Land and Industrial Department which
will, as heretofore, carry On its co-opera-
tive work for the location Of industries
and farm settlers and for ithe general de-
velopment Of the territory traversed by
the lines of the Southern Railway System.
Speaking of the Department Of Farm
Improvement Work, President Finley
said:
Its purpose is to be broadly helpful to
the farmers in the territory traversed by
our lines. I can conceive Of nothing that
would be more beneficial to the South
eastern States than a substantial increase
in the average yield Of farm crops such as
it Is the aim OF the Department Of Farm

Freaks o. Nature.

Some ~naturalists who have been ID

anything to do with this wingless con-
dition, they took wasps, just Matched,
and kept them In an 1cebox for AZ
hours. Result: Wingless wasps.
They tried the same experiment with
several other kinds OF Insects and
always with the same result.

EIr.t Woman on EnaIIsh STAGE.

January is an important anniver-
sary in the development of the Brit

Pepys went to the Glare Market thea

formed and records, "the first time
that / ever saw women come upon the
stage"
Previously all female parts had been
taken by boys or young men. The
change was probably suggested by
Charles H. from his continental expert
ence, and arose from an amusing cpl
sode. The king had gone to the thea

Mourn saIsswoman's Death.

There is mourning in one Of the
large department stores because Of
the death of saleswoman who was
probably as well known in New York
as any one OF the great sisterhood.
Little Ellen" as every one called her
because she always retained the name
by which she was known when she
became an employee of the house thir-
ty-five years ago, was for many years
at the head of the glove selling de-
partment and had customers by the
hundred, who would be served only by
her. She knew the sizes of gloves
they wore and had many friends
among her patrons, for whom she Sc
lected gloves when they were small
children. AT holiday times she was al
ways literally remembered by them,
and her death is regretted as much by
them as by her associates and employ
ers.

STRANGE CRATER IN ARIZONA
Biologists Have offered Several The.
cries to Account for This Singular
Phenomenon.

About forty miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the midst Of a great plain,
there is a saucer-shaped hollow about
three-quarters Of mile across and
500 feet deep. The rim of this strange
crater rises between $50 and 200 feet
above the surrounding plain. Rocky
fragments are scattered for several
miles around the crater. Among these
rocks many fragments of meteoric
iron, some containing minute black
diamonds, have been found. The in
ner walls show that the crust Of the
earth was broken when the crater was
formed; yet no volcanic rocks exist
there. Biologists have offered several
theories to account for this singular
phenomenon. One is that an immense
meteorite made the hole, and that the
meteoric fragments just mentioned are
remnants of the falling star. Another
theory ascribes the origin Of the era
ter to a tremendous explosion Of steam
in the rocks beneath, and third com
bines the first two by suggesting that
the blow of falling meteor, striking
the earth's crust at point where
subterranean water had accumulated
in the neighborhood of heated rocks
was the cause of the explosion.

Unless the train butchers" keep
on hand supply of cups to sell to
passengers, the travelling public will
hereafter be thirsty in sight of a
cooler full of ice water.
The recently enacted state law
prohibiting the common drinking
cup in Kentucky will go into effect
in Kentucky about May 10. Dis
cussing this law the Courier-Journel
says:
1.-The law forbids the use of com
mon drinking cups on railroad trains
and in railroad stations, hotels.
boarding houses, restaurants, steam
b Dat stores ''or other publicly fire.
qlented places" No person or cor
poration in charge of such places
shall permit the use of the drinking
cup in common, and warning pla-
cards must be posted in conspicuous
positions. A violation of the provis.
ions of the act is punishable by fine
of not less than 81 and more than
$40. and each days violation of any
of the provisions Of the act is to be
considered a separate offense.
The public drinking cup is now
recognized as a menacing medium
for the transmission of disease. Leg
islation has been directed against il
in various cities and in a number Of
the states in the union. Kentucky
in adopting this commendable Law
has taken a forward step in the cam
paign for the prevention of disease
On general principles the common
drinking cup had nothing to recon-
mend or justify it. Now that it il

no longer any shadow Of excuse fol
