Curry Sees Relation
Between Low Wages,
And Blind Alley Homes

.swhlie members Of Congress are in
teresting themselves in a movement to
reclaim the alleys of the city we ought
TO pay some attention to our own un-
derpaid employees" said Congressman
Curry of California today. Mr.. Curry
was among the House members who
accompanied the wife Of the President
en- her first Summing trip last week.
Returning to the Capitol. Mr.. Curry
learned that the United States Govern
ment pays its charwomen, who work
about the Capitol, $50 q month. and that
there are laborers in the Government
employ who ge: $50 to $50 month. as
Immediately saw the relation OF such
wages to the alley problem.
Il am shocked to learn that the
United States Government Is paying
women as low as 80 a month to SCRUB
fioors. This Government should pay no
ies than $50 a month and better wages
would be s. per day.
II am new member of the House,
but while we are attempting to ADJUST
this alley problem, I think we should
look into matters nearer home, ana also
adjust the wages We pay the char
women and others doing manual labor
for this wealthy Government.
CONGRESSMAN Curry was informed that
previous attempts to increase tie sal
aries of Capitol charwomen had been
DdlkeO Dy the argument thdt huhuicuS
of women were willing to undertake the
v ork at the low price now paid.
That Is no argument at all, replied
the California CONGRESSMAN. 'Of
course a poor woman. who must have
the money, will take so IL she can get
no more. But IL is deplorable state of
affairs that while we talk Of reclaimins'
the alleys of the Capital we are paying
some OF our own employees starvation

Although q new member, Congress-
nan Curry said that he plans to agitate
the charwonen issue when the next
legislative appropriation bill is brought
into the House. He win poin hands
with Congressman Fowler of Illinois,
who has fought consistently for In
creased pay for the charwomen and
other laborers. employed on low SAL

MORBID SURROUND
HOME OF WALKER
Friends FIanked By Curious
ThrongAfter Bankers Death
BY Mercury Poisoning.

MACON, Ga, May 22.-Friends of B.
Sanders Walker. anxious to see the
wealthy young broker before his fight
against the inevitable ended. f1anked by
a large crowd of the morbidly curio Is.
gathered in such numbers today at the
Walker home that the police deta!, had
the utmost difficulty in keeping order,
and restraining them from gaining en-
trance.
Even as the young man was breathing
his last, early today, scores stood at the
door. Walkers physicians, however.
forbade their admission, and the young
man passed away with none but rela-
tives at his bedside.
Last Thursday the young banker
awcke with a headache and took BIZ
chloride of mercury tablet by mistake
for an aspirin tablet. The mistake was
not noted until Walker developed the
familiar symptoms of mercurial poison
ing, and then IL was too late for ply
sicians to stop the deadly drug from
paralyzing his kidneys and destroying
his tissues
The banker was told that nothing
could avert death. For two days, by
sheer will power. he finished his busi-
ness affairs, bade his friends good-by
and then took to bed to die. There were
times during his six days battle with
death that the patient indomitably re-
fused to accept his doctors prognosis.
and insisted ne intended to live. but the
anguish of stoppage of his digestive Or
gans, and the constant sufferings he
was forced to undergo as phycicians
endeavored to sweat the poison out Of
his system and flood his stomach with
olive oil, broke his spirit
Yesterday he begged for the end. and
physicians, helpless to aid him. aban-
doned all treatment save that designed
to alleviate his sufferings.
The end came peacefully today, the
victim lapsing into Inconsistencies and
passing away as his wife held his hand.

suLpHURING DRIED PEACHES

Sulphur fumes are frequently used
to prevent peaches from being dis
colored in the process of drying. A
common and simple process is to
place the fruit, Immediately after
it is prepared for drying, on iron
wire trays, These wires should not
be galvanized. The trays are then
placed in chest or small cabinet
made of a convenient size, and a
small quantity of sulphur, from one
to one and half ounces, is placed
on shovel or in an iron pot and
placed in the bottom of the cabinet.
1t is then lighted by dropping live
coal in it or with a red hot stove
poker. All the doors and vents are
then closed and the fruit is left in
this air. tight compartment for a
few moments until the fumes have
thoroughly spread throughout the
space and come in contact with all
the exposed surfaces of the fruit.
A little practice will be required
to determine the amount of time re-
quired for the operation and the
amount of sulphur to be used. Or
dinarily one ounce of sulphur will
fumigate thoroughly all the fruit
that can be placed in a drier four
feet wide, six or eight feet long and
six feet high, and the fumigation
process in from five to fifteen min
utes, depending upon the ventila-
ton given to insure the circulation
of the sulphur throughout the en-
tire cabinet. All that is required is
to give the sulphur sufficient time
to act upon the cut surfaces Of the
fruit and prevent their discoloration
in the process of drying.
With the best drying and evap-
Grating establishments in use at the
present time the sulphuring process

ANNUAL COVER CROPS

The annual cover crops should
be sown sometime during the early
part Of September. Many people
have already planted vetch, some
have planted rye, or oats in the or
chard and these crops will be up
and growing well before the fruit is
gathered from the orchard. Early
planting is especially valuable in
many regions where winter injury
has been common, the planting OF
some form of cover crops close to
the trees in time to make sufficient
growth to remove the surplus water
from the soil and cause the trees to
go into winter quarters without any
soft or unripened wood is sure to
produce beneficial and helpful re-
suits.
Rye is a good crop for this if
sown early. Winter vetch is also a
good crop but it has the objection OF
being very expensive. When once
seeded, however, it can be grown
as an annual cover crop for several
years. if it Is let grow in the spring,
until mid spring or early summer,
when it will have developed seed
that will remain practically dor
mant all summer and start into
growth in early fall.
The planting of permanent cover
crops such as clover and alfalfa
should be thoroughly considered be-
fore it is undertaken. These crops
require that the water supply be
for both the orchard crop
and the cover crop at the same time.
Glover can be grown for one year
and then turned under with very
beneficial results. Alfalfa can be
grown for one or .two years and
then the surface soil thoroughly
disked and worked up until it looks
like plowed field, and in that way
a great deal of vegetation that falls
on the surface can be worked into
the surface soil. Alfalfa is difficult
to eradicate and should not be
planted until all of its character
istics have been thoroughly con-
sidered by the orchard owner. Most
orchardists who have planted alfalfa
and clover consider clover less val
liable and favor alfalfa more and
more every year. ON. MORRIS,

Too little value is generally
placed on first class males. A

piled that he could not afford to
sell such an animal unless he
was ready to go out of the bust

On high priced land the price
of wool should be a secondary
consideration. The lambs should

Sheep and other nervous AMI

LOOSE SMUT OF GRAIN

In view of the fact that the loose
smut of the grains is becoming more
and more prevalent each year, it
has been considered advisable to
present to the grain owners of the
state ashort statement concerning it.
This smut is different from the
sinking smut, in that the plant is
not infected at the Seeding stage,
but gains admittance to the host at
bloseoming time. The head also
appears different. The smut does
not remain within the membrane of
the kernel, but early breaks out and
for a short time shows as a black
powdery mass of smut spores. These
soon disappear, leaving only the
stem of the head with a few smut
spores attached to it.
The smut can be prevented by
the treatment of the seed, but the
procedure of treatment is so compli-
Gated and delicate that it is not prac-
teal for the ordinary grain grower.
On account of these facts and
with the hope that the disease NAV
be kept out of the fields of the state.
it is most urgently recommended
that every grower be exceedingly
careful i'll the selection of his grain
for seed. Be sure that the seed
comes from a field that was free
from smut and. If possible, was not
threshed by machine that had
