Washington, Oct. 29.-One of the
useful scientists of the Department of
Agriculture, Mr.. A. d. Shamel, who
has been making study for the n st
three years in California of the ind
vidual characteristics of orange trees,
believes that he has established fact
which will prove of the greatest impor-
lance to the growers of all plants and
trees which are propagated by other
means than seeds. Mr.. Shamel by
careful study and tabulation of the
performance of individual trees has
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that bud variation is much more inn
portant in the development of an or
chard than has ever been supposed.
1t has been taken for granted by most
fruit growers that a tree would pro-

WAUSAU BUYS
BLODGETT TIMBER
REPORTED THAT FIRM HAS PUR-
CHASED LARGE TRACT FROM
THE BLoDoETTs.

Meridian, Miss. Oct. pa report
has reached here that the Wausau
Southern Lumber Co., at Laurel, has
bought 10000 acres of the Blodgett
holdings in this state. The Blodgett
interests, of Michigan, multi-million-
aires, have owned 721, 900 acres of land
in this state since 1882, which they
acquired from the United States Gov
eminent at $1.25 per acre, The tim
Der on these lands lies between Luce
dale and Waynesboro and has not
been touched since the purchase by
the Blodgett interests.
1t is also reported that L. n. Dantz-
Ter, of the L. N. Dantzler Lumber Co.,
of Pascagoula, has options on other
large tracts of land owned by the
Blodgetts and it is believed that the
holders since 1882 are about to put the
acreage on the market.
A notable feature of the week has
been, what seems to be a combination
of lumber interests, and one which
may vitality affect the Blodgett hold
ings in Green county.
Gregory M. Luce, the Dantzlers and
Turner'S. together with the Wausau in
terests are reported to have joined
hands in the extension and connection
of their railroads to form a continuous
line from Laurel to Pascagoula

miles of railway northward from Pas

The Importance of this investigation
may be estimated from the fact that
it was found in some orchards that
fifty per cent of the trees were not
producing fruit true to type, or in sat

vestigations during the past summer

Agricultural Scientists Needed.
While the scientific study of agricul-
tural problems is constantly receiving
more attention from the various col
leges having agricultural departments,
the Department of Agriculture finds it
difficult to secure as many specialists
in various lines as it needs in the
great work it is doing for the Ameri-
can agrarian interests. The day of
the hap-hazard farmer is almost past.
With land values rising and the cost
of labor mounting steadily upward, it
is becoming daily more needful that
the best scientific skill should be
brought to bear on the problems that
confront the farmer Young men who
have been reared on the farm can find
in scientific agriculture promising
fields for their best endeavors. The
Government service itself employs
some 5000 young men, graduates of
the agricultural colleges and scien-
lists in every sense of the term, who
not only receive good pay but are
encouraged to undertake Independent
research, and who find their work in
the Department of Agriculture a
stepping stone, very often to wider
and more lucrative fields in CONNER
cial life or in the service of other gov
ernments.

At Lawrence, Mass, after about two
hours of early morning rioting, dur
ing which the 1awless wooden and cot
ton mills strikers had full control Of
the streets of the city, there was a
pitched battle between the police and
militia on one side and about 1000
strikers near the Everett Mills just
Refore 6 p. m.
The affray resulted in the killing of
an Italian woman who was standing
on the sidewalk, the stabbing of Pa
troIman Oscar Benoit and sore heads
for many of the rioters, who were
finally put to flight.
The woman killed was the victim
OF senseless shooting by one of the
mob, who seemed to be taking great
Joy in firing revolver bullets into the
ground on the opposite side of Union
street from the woman. His identity
was not learned and on arrests were
made. Neither the police nor militia
men fired shot during the battle and
it is believed that the woman was
killed by a bullet which glanced off

Protesting his innocence and leaving
prayer for forgiveness for those whom
he said had prosecuted him, Albert
Wolter was put to death in the electric
chair at Sing Sing prison at 5:41
o'clock in the morning for the murder
of fifteen-year-old Ruth Wheeler in his
fiat nearly two years ago.
At 2 a. m. Woltcr wrote his denial
of the killing. 1t was on a single
sheet, and so even and clear were the
letters that his writing had the appear
ance of cOpper-plate.
The statement reads;

Although Wolter was convicted on
circumstantial evidence, the court Of
appeals, reviewing the case after a
series of legal delays, declared he was
fairly tried and justly convicted.
Wolter was declared dead after one
contact of 1860 volts. The state cleo
trician said he showed less resistance
to the electric current than anyone pat
to death by electricity at Sing Sing
prison.

fourth floor of a house on East Seven

The evidence indicated that the girl
had come to her death by strangula-

venient to remove it in a bag to the

The Summarizes Near.

The year 1916 was called the ~year
without a summer" Spring came that
year. but in its faintest form. Snow
cold rains and winds were incessant.
1t was the 1st of June before the first
left the ground. The farmers planted
their crops, but the seed would hardly
sprout. and when they came to the sur
face there was not heat enough to
make the frail plants grow. 1t is re-
corded that during the month of June
birds froZe to death in the woods and
fields. Small fruits, such as there
were. rotted on the stem, there being
no birds to eat them. But little corn
matured. Only in sheltered spots were
good sized roasting ears to be found.
Frosts prevailed every month in the
year and almost daily. The people
after repeated hopes of a change for
the better settled down almost in de-
spair. The like of it was never known
in the country before and, fortunately.
has never been repeated.-New York
