Prevent ThreSller Fires.

j. L. Baldwin, State Fire Mar
shal, has compiled a lot of rules
for farmers for the prevention of
fires, among which are the fol-
lowing good suggestion; Ifdamp
hay or straw may be suspected
when put into barns, watch it
night and day-if it shows signs
of heating, and be prepared to
open it up before it gets so hot
that it will burn when air strikes
it. Do not let greasy rags, waste
DC. get into corners to heat and
take fire. Do not carry matches
loose in the pocket. Keep at
least six buckets of water where
they can be reached easily, es-
pecially when threshing. Many
a barn has been fired by a spark
from a stone or nail as it went
through the cylinder of the thresh
er, or from a spark from the en-
gine. A few buckets of water
at hand would have put the fire
out before it did any damage.
Go into almost any factory and
you will see buckets of water
standing in a row on a shelf and
marked For Fire Only" The
bucket idea costs little, and is a
good idea for US to follow.

KANSAS WHEAT CROP.
Farmers Are at a Loss What TO Do
With Il. Will Store Thousands of
Bushels in SiIOS.

A letter from John Holman,
native of the Cove, but for sev
eral years a resident of Kansas
enclosing the cash to renew his
subscription to the News, says
that the wheat crop this year ir
that state is wonderful.
Before the time of grain cut.
ting, the farmers in the State ex
pected great yield, but it now
turns out to be much beyond
their widest expectations. Ev-
erything now points to an aver
age yield of more than 20 bush
els to the acre. James Binford
threshed more than 600 bushels
from a field Of 20 acres-an av-
erage of better than 80 bushels.
1t is said that there is not a field
between Wichita and Norwich
that will yield less than 20 bu-
shells. John Stivers' whole crop
averaged more than q bushels to
the acre. The wheat was of good
weight and quality, and he put
it right into market at 67 cents.
1t is believed by many that farm
ers who are in a position to hold
will get better price later on.
1t has been figured by railroad of
ticials that the wheat crop would
call for the handling of 170,Ol6
cars by the railway lines in this
state. This will make an aver
age of 3,40O freight trains. IfI
these trains were connected they
would reach from Topeka to
Washington, d. C. In other
words the wheat train with the
1914 Kansas wheat crop would
extend 1,202 miles in length.
Fred Messmer had 700 acres
this year and began to cut it last
Thursday. There was in the field
,wenty-nine men and fifty-six
horses, operating eight binders.
Six of the machines were 12-foot
push machines, operated by eight
lorses each and two were drawn
with four horses each.
hey cut 264 acres of wheat that
lay.
While the men were cutting
he wheat another gang of men
ut up a steel tank in the field,
nd on Friday morning a thresh- {
lg machine was started. The -.
'heat was elevated from the ma
hine into the steel tank. The
'heat is yielding "a to 27 bushels
} the acre. "

Fruit Tree Blight.

n ulsease conspicuous IN many
apple, pear and ounce orchards
at this time of year is variously
known as Pear Blight, Fire
Blight, Twig Blight, Black Blight
Body Blight, Trunk Blight, and
is also probably the same as the
destructive apple tree disease
known as Collar Blight. Prof.
II. A. Surface, State Zoologist,
harrisburg, says that it is really
the worst disease of the apple,
pear and ounce trees, and it
should be recognized and remov-
ed before its germs are widely
spread through the orchard.
In reply to an inquiry as to
what to do for this disease Pro-
fessor Surface wrote as follows:
The pear blight is a bacteria
disease that works within the
bark and living wood of pear,
apple and ounce. 1t is most de-
structive on trees that grow rap
idly. Therefore, those methods
of cultivation should be avoided |
which produce rank growth. Aft |
er it once starts in a tree nothing
whatever can be applied that will
cure it, and the only thing to do
is to cut it out. The germs live
and work beneath the surface of
the bark, and this is why extern
al applications that ordinarily
prevented the occurrence of fun
gous diseases are not effective in
preventing pear blight.
The germs are carried by in
;ects such as ants, wasps, bees,
lies and others, and also by the
wind, and also on the tools used s
oy men in pruning. Therefore,
he pruning tools should be ster- q
lized occasionally. This can be Z
lone by passing them quickly d
through a hot flame or washing
With a solution of formalin, cor q
osive sublimate or lime-sulfur {
olutlon. ?
In cutting out pear blight for
he purpose of getting rid of it,
is very important to cut well
ack into the living healthy wood y
lerely cutting it Off at the base lc
the visibly infected part, and Ia
OF cutting back in the healthy d
'ood a suitable distance, means pl

nue. to do serious damage. 1t V

DOUGHERTY DENIES FRICTION.

Working In Harmony.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough-
erty said yesterday:
THE report that there Is friction be-
tween the police and District Attorney
Whitman Is entirely wrong. As far as
l am concerned, the best of feeling pre-
walls. Rumors TO the contrary have
been spread by people who are in no
position to judge"
That the Police Department did not
send a man to bring Sam Schepps to
New York was due to no irritation on
the part OF the police he said. IT was
simply case OF leaving To a man the
satisfaction of completing a Job which
he has successfully undertaken.
Commissioner Dougherty gave the
impression Of being worn out and OF
being disappointed at the way things
have turned out. In fact, he admitted
that he was disappointed. There Is not
a day. he said. but that reports come to
him Of the capture of Lefty Louie and
Gyp the Blood. "All this only goes to
show" said Dougherty. what big Job
It is to capture a man. There are mill
ions of places he may hide. Lefty
Louie and Gyp the Blood have had
plenty of time to get to any part of the
world and yet they may be here in
New York; and people wonder why they
haven't heen caught.
I'VE still have plenty Of information
to work on and more Is liable to turn
up at any minute, Because We don't
say much about what we are doing isn't
any sign that I'VE aren't still working as

pie think because they don't read every
morning just how many men we have
looking for the murderers. and just
where they are looking, that we are

the movement Is to discover facts. and

Emory r. Buckner. who resigned from
Mr.. Whitmans staff to be counsel for the
Aldermanic committee, has actively as
sumed his new duties. Mr.. Buckner will
open an Office downtown. He said yes-
terday that there were no new develop
ments but that he was getting things
ready for the investigation.
The first thing is to find out the facts.
said Mr.. Buckner. Just now most peo-
pie think that large part Of the police
force is either corrupt or inefficient. II is
important to know whether this is true
or false. because whether true or false the
impression is equally inimical to the
efficiency and discipline Of the force.

TO KEEP YOUNG JEWS FROM VICE
Federation Finds Good In Organi-

The question Of checking gambling

Yesterday al a meeting of the executive
board of the Federation Of Jewish Organ
izations. II was agreed as to Jewish
young people that education was the best
remedy A prominent officer of the fed
Grafton said after the meeting. which was
private:
1t was pointed out AZ the meeting that the
orthodox synagogue with its peculiar
features has no attraction TO the boys and
girls educated at our public schools. The
result is that the Jewish immigrants arc
es,ranGed from their parents. SO that the
old folks have little authority over them.
II has been proved. however. that young
men attending such institutions as tho
Educational Alliance or the Y. NJ. H.. A.
or belonging Ia Jewish military organiza- :
tions are never found among the vicious
or criminal. II is most des slrable. therefore.
to multiply such institutions among the
