QUAIL, THE FARMERS FRIEND

Farmers are beginning to realize
that they lose more than they can
afford by allowing hunters to shoot
quail on their land. The firing OF
guns is annoying to all stock, espec-
tally to dairy cows, without countinn
the danger of an animal being killed
by an ill-directcd shot. 1t is also very
easy to start fire and hunters u.s.
ually do some damage to fences. How
ever, an evil that is often overlooked
is that destroying quail removes one
OF the farmers best friends Quail
hunt down insect pests before their
breeding time and each bug killed in
the winter is worth many killed in
the spring. Quail are deadly to pota

CHINA WILL TRY SINGLE TAX

| On the eve of his inauguration a!
president of China, Yuan Shi Kai de-
clared that the single tax, which he
proposed to have adopted, would dc
more to promote the prosperity OF
his country than any step that had
ever been taken. Yuan is convinced
that this system is the best for Chi
ma and he is now convinced that its
application will aid wonderfully in
restoring the confidence of the peo-
pie, sadly shaken of late by the mu-
tinous outbreaks.
Under the Manchu rule. taxes were
steadily increased until the people
found themselves crushed between a
steadily increased cost of living on
one side and rapidly decreased wages
on the other. The tariff on necessi-
Ties Will be removed at once. and q
big decrease in the cost of living
Will result, says Yuan.

more than pound; Q cents per
pound for each additional pound or
fraction thereof up to and including
a total of eleven pounds" This
would make the maximum charges
for a parcel over the rural post rs

No provision is made to furnish
this service to farmers who have not
received rural free delivery nor to
furnish any carrier service to people
In towns yet without 1t. 1t s be-
lieved that the service can be insti-
tuted at an initial expense of proba-
bly, $75,000,0O0 and yearly deficit
of probably $50, 200, 600. It is gen.
orally admitted that the express COM
panies will strive for the profitable
short hauls and leave the government
the closing long hauls. Agitators for
parcels past say that the government
must next condemn express property
and operate the railroads. The ex-
cuse of some committee members is
that Republican administration has
lowered these rates to foreigners
through postal conventions" An
army OF federal employees will be add
ed under General Hitchcock's direc-
ton.

CELERY A GOOD CROP FOR MAR
KET GARDENER

Celery has an extraordinary adapta
bility to the soil and climate of the IT.
rigated regions of Idaho. The prices
paid for 1t are high throughout the
year, the quality is excellent, and az
yet it Is subject to no serious di.
sease attacks.
Those interested in it's culture
should sow the seed for early varie-
ties during the early part of March,
and the late varieties about the last
of March or the first Of April. The
early varieties should be removed
from the pan or box and pricked out
into a hotbed as 500 mas they are of
sufficient size. The late varieties
can be sown directly in the hotbed
at the time above specified.
The time for transplanting in the
field varies somewhat In most sec
lions of the state it is about the last
OF May. There are several systems of
planting in the fields, but for an
irrigated region system should be
adopted that facilitates the applica-
ton of water.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST SLANG

/
Lawrence, Kan, March IA
campaign to discourage the. use of
slang has been started by the de-
partment of English at the University
OF Kansas. Professors believe popu-
lar slang phrases are getting such a
mold, not only on students, but also
on people throughout the country,
that they cannot express themselves
without using "distasteful express
sions.'
MY attitude against slang is hos
tile" Prof. Dunlop, head of the Eng
lish department, said today. George

THE PARCELS POST

The House postoffice committee
has order printed a bill attached as
rider to the postoffice appropria-
tlon Dill which provides for a system
or parcels post. Much has been said
about the benefit such a system
would be to farmers in sending pro-
ducts to towns. 1t would appear that
the farmers have been handed
beautifully designed gold brick. The
rural route rates do not apply to pro-
ducts sent from farmers to the towns
fhey are only available for the ship
ment from a person on one rural
route to person on the same route
or from the starting point of sucb
route.
Representatives of rental mail-or-
der houses have been anxious TO oh

ing along rural routes. Thus thew

routes at low rates, an eleven-pound
package costing them only 25 cents.

very much OF what they wanted from
the House committee. The commit.
tee also attempts to compel the Sem
ators to abandon any convictions
they may have upon the subject bv
attaching the bill as a rider to an
appropriation bill. 1t also proposes
70 avoid criticism by shutting off de-
bate with cloture rule. Members
u the committee have said they did
not aim to alarm or injure any le-
business interest; but they
nave decided to condemn the mer-
