GAS COMPANY TO
INSIST ON HIGHER
RATE FOR LIGHTS
Clash With Commissioners
Over Interpretation of
1913 Budget.

Action is threatened by the washing
ton Gas Light Company against the
District to enforce the payment of s1S.40
each for 6,613 bantle gas lamps of Co
candlepower, which the Commissioners
have ordered the company to furnish
ut rate OF s1s.75 year.
The Commissioners have been in
formed that the company, without
waving any of it's rights, will comply
with the order TO furnish and maintain
the lamps, but 1t denies that they are
authorized under any act of Congress
now In force relating to street lighting
to fix the price at s16.75 per lamp per
arnum. Formal notice is given that the
company will insist upon its demands in
this respect.
Differ As to Meaning.
The difference between the Commits
sioners and the Washington Gas Light
Company is the result. of varying in
terpretations placed on the section of
the District appropriation bill, which
provides that during the fiscal year 1918
the rate for mantle gas lamps of 60-can-
dlepower shall be $3.50 per annum, pro-
vided that whenever the lamp posts are
furnished by the District there shall be
a deduction of $1.65 on each lamp.
The point raised by the Gas Light
Company is whether the deduction from
the annual cost of maintenance shall be
made In the case of those posts erected
prior to July /. 1912. or whether the
deduction applies to lamps erected after
July l. on posts owned by the District.
Made In All Cases. ..
Corporation Counsel Thomas states as
his opinion that the deductions should
be made irrespective of whether the
posts and equipments were owned by
the District prior to July l. or pur-
chased subsequently.
In the case of electric lighting the
bill authorizes that whenever the posts
are owned by the District there shall
be a deduction Of s1.65 per annum for
incandescent lamps, and $3.50 for arc
lamps. The Potomac Electric Power
Company, according to W. c. Allen,
electric engineer, has agreed to this
provision.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 30.
After two weeks Of fairly liberal
cattle supplies here, the run began
to tighten up today and the market
was strong to 10 higher all around,
and very active. The run was $500
head here today, and many far away
sections of the country had to be
drawn on to augment the receipts
from nearby territory sufficiently to
make this total. Hay fed steers from
Montana We're here, at 500 to $3.50,
sugar beet cattle from western Ne
bTaska and eastern Colorado at $40
to $3.50, and oil meal steers from
northern Texas were unloaded in the
quarantine division, unsold at late
hour, because of their late arrival.
The weakness in killing cattle the
first days Of last week was completely
eliminated by the end of the week,
with a firm stride on Thursday
Suckers and feeders remained in the
rut, though enough buyers came in
after Wednesday to clean everything
up pretty well by the close of the
week. These buyers got their cattle
al a bargain. Everything is ripe for
some new high prices on finished
beef steers, 1915 being a possibility
for this week not at all extrayagant
though lack of class caused the fig
ures to stop at $685. today. Best
COWS reach Sis, heifers $775, veals
$500, quarantine steers s7.S5, stock
ers s6'75, feeders s7.15.
The hog market is the arena for
what turns out to be drawn battle
from day to day, top hogs hanging
around eight dollars with wonderful
tenacity. Logically, hog prices should
go higher, but an excessive supply
at Chicago last Monday furnished
buyers with enough ammunition to
last all week, and a run Of $1,000
there today gives them the whip hand
for few days more. The run here
today is 1000 head, market weak at
the start, but fully steady at the fin
ish, top $500, bulk Of sales 1855 to
1886.

MORE AND BETTER WHEAT.

The Farmers Institutes in Kansas
will discuss Wheat" Saturday, May
IL, 2 to 4 p. m.
Kansas wheat averages less than
fifteen bushels to the acre. Why not
make it twenty-five? Following is
the outline for discussion:
For Better Yields.
1. Does it pay to disc stubble i'm
mediately after the binder or header
in preparation for plOwing? How
soon thereafter should land disced
Immediately after the binder or head
er be plowed? VIII the results be
more favorable from early blowing
than from medium early blowing or
late blowing? Which is the better
practice: To disc, Immediately after
the binder or header and pillow as
soon as possible thereafter, or be
pillow Immediately after the header
and then disc the plowed ground?
Why is it that better results can be
obtained from land early plowed, or
early disced and then early plowed,
than from land plOwed in September
that has not been disced previously?
Experience in central and western
Kansas with listing for wheat. viii
it not pay to disc ahead of lister?
2. Does it pay, and if so, in what
part OF the state, to plant winter
wheat between corn rows while the
corn is still standing? Does it pay
to plant wheat on corn land after re-
moving the crop? What are the prin-
cipal objections to planting wheat af-
ter corn or between corn rows?
8. Does it pay to plant wheat ON
summer fall2w in western Kansas?

ALFALFA VERY PROFITABLE.

Another good alfalfa record was
made last year by D. A. Lee Of Dun
lap, Kan, who, with his son, E. R.
Lee, was in Kansas City recently buy
ing a hay baling machine and engine
costing $3.50. Mr.. Lee had in last
year As acres of alfalfa. 1t was not a
good season for large alfalfa yields,
but the quality wss extra good, and
then a seed crop was raised, which
made up for the falling off in the
number Of bales CT hay produced, so
that on the whole the years record
was a good one.
Three cuttings Of alfalfa, aggregat-
ing over 100 tons, worth at the cur
rent market price through the win
ter, over $4,000, besides the seed crop
worth 500, made very good show
ing" Mr.. Lee said. I'VE never raise
a seed crop except in a dry season.
The average season is too damp for
seed. But when we do not have a
seed crop, We have more of the hay,
and so it evens up.
Heretofore we have been getting
along without baling machine, but
as the price of alfalfa and hay ad-
vanceS, We find that it does not pay
to handle them without a baler, as
so much is wasted when the hay is
handled in bulk. l have on my farm
a gasoline engine, and all kinds of
modern machinery, but now ann add
ing a baling outfit Of the modern
type. 1t pay to keep up in modern
machinery. This year l have in
creased my alfalfa acreage to Is

TOMATO GROWING CONTEST.
For several years the Kansas State

For several years the Kansas State
Agricultural College has been con-
Quoting contests for boys and girls in
corn growing, sewing, and bread
making. This year these contests are
not to be neglected, but institute and
other committees are urged this year
to inaugurate Tomato Growing Con-
tests" for girls. Each girl is to have
a plot one rod square in which she
may set out sixteen or twenty plants;
do all the work after the blowing or
spading; planting, hoing, pruning,
gathering and canning; exhibit one
can at the local contest with a state
ment as to number Of pounds gather
ed and the number Of cans put up.
This can be made a great opportunity
for developing lessons Of thrift in food
production. These contests might be
taken up to good advantage by wom-
ems clubs in any small or large town,
either in connection with the institute
or entirely separate. l hope some
public spirited people in every town
in Kansas who read this will take it
up at once and get a contest started
in the growing and canning of toma-
toes. Why should it not be taken up
in every village and town school in
Kansas, with girls from the Seventh
grade up? Write for pamphlet,

POSSIBILITIES OF POTATOES.

Among the cmiosities brought back
to Queen Elizabeth from America BY
Sir Walter Raleigh were some little
round vegetables about the size OF
hickory nuts, which he called pota
toes. Critics declared them to be
poisonous, cOurtiers ridiculed them,
and Sir Walter had a hard time to
make the English believe that the
newly discovered tuber had any mer.
it. 1t is true that compared with the
present mealy and palateable food we
now enjoy the original South Ameri-
can potato had little to commend it.
self.
The development of potatoes from
their wild state to their present posi-
ton as a leading article of food
shows what can be done by careful
selection and appropriate cultivation
in a favorable soil. These develop
ments have been made possible by
specialists. 1t is only by continuing
ones attention to a specific subject
that extraordinary results are achiev-
ed. The accomplishments of one man
are continued by another and present
achievements are the results of sue
cessive workers leaving their special
ties better than they found them.
In recent years the potato grow.
ers Of Maine have shown what can
be accomplished by carefully working
out the necessary conditions for large
crops. Within the last twenty-five
years the average yield of potatoes
in Maine has increased from SO bu-
shells per acre to 2O5 bushels. This
doubling of the potato cnop by Maine
farmers has been accomplished BY
supplying the soil with the right ma
terials to produce potatoes, and by
putting it in the right mechanical con-
dition to promote their growth. Sta
bic manure, rotation of crops, CONNER
cial fertilizers and spraying for blight
and bugs have played an important
part in the Maine potato growers sue
cess.
AS the tendency OF potatoes is to
reproduce the kind that comes from
the parent root, seed should be select.
ed only from those roots that have
produced desirable potatoes. This Sc
lection will improve the quality of tn
potatoes. To increase the yielding
power Of potatoes selections should
be made from the roots that have pro
duced the highest yields. To increase
his yield a Colorado farmer selected
seed from hills that grew not less
than twelve fine potatoes in each hill.
From the seed so selected he raised
enough potatoes to plant thirty acres.
Another field was planted with ordi-
nary seed. Mr.. EdgertOn, who plant
ed the good seed, reported that the
increase in profits from seed taken
from the highest yielding hills was
500 an acre" 1t should be stated
that an unusually high price was
factor in the profits, but a large por-
ton d the gain was directly due TO
The selected seed.
The planting Of long, NARROW, or
pointed potatoes should be avoided, |
Is the shape indicates that they are
running out" A good rotation Is |
grain, a leguminOus plant and then

best when the seed comes from a.

Shipment Of Fine Horses Received

That the time is at hand when
horse breeders are considering quail

there is tendency toward marked
improvement in horse breeding gell-
orally, is evidenced by the shipment
of high grade horses received by the
Long X outfit and Richard Towne
last Friday. The Long X Company,
one of the largest horse and cattle
companies operating in northern
Montana, with holdings OH the Mis-
ouri, shipped into our city ten hand
some stations from J. W. and F. T.
Peterson, horse importers, Litch-
field, Mimi. The consignment was
made up of two French Draft stall
lions, three Shires, and five Percher-
ons, the sire of one of the Percher-
ons being valued at $4,000. The
horses were all young, ranging from
two to three years old. In the same
car Richard Towne received two
handsome mares. four and six years
old and a fine colt.

Death Of Little Tommy Wolfe

After an illness extending ov Ell
three weeks, Tommy, the two year
old son ofMr. and Mrs. Chas. Wolfe,
died Tuesday evening about six
O'clock.
Tommy was an unusually preco-
cious child, very strong and healthy
up to a year ago when an attack of
measles affected his lungs. He had,
however, been reasonably well up to
this spring, when congestion of the
lungs set in and this was followed by
inflammation of the bowels.
During the child's illness the par
ents did everything that possibly
could be done to save and prolong
the life of their loved one. They Sc
cured the very best medical aid pro-
curable, and during the past few
days two physicians have spent many
hours by Tommy's bedside and
trained nurse watched carefully, but
the mysterious hand of the death an
gel had beckoned and little Tom fin
ally answered the call and has gone
to abide with Him who said "Suffer
little children to come unto me.''
The funeral was held at the M. E.
church this afternoon at 300 o'clock.
Rev. G. E. Wharton officiating and
burial was made in the Malta ceme-
terry.
The mother prostrated by the ner-
vous strain and heart trouble, was
not able to leave the house and her
condition is very serious.
