Instructions
Given Out By Deputy Sealef
Of Weights
Concerning The New Laws
Now In Effect
Editor Banner.

Editor Banner,
For the benefit of dealers and con-
sumers of food products, large cards
explaining new weights and measure
laws are being placed in all groceries
fruit and vegetable, feed and stores,
-four and feed mills of Knox county.
The department also has large num-
ber Of hand-bills to be distributed.
Anyone can receive copy applying
at the county office OF the Deputy
Sealer.
II will require considerable time
to place the $50 cards in Knox county
as the plan is to instruct the propri-
etor of each store SO that he in turn
can assist In instructing the public
az to the full requirements Of the law.
Dealers, peddlers and hucksters are
requested to receive whatever spec.
ial instructions they desire direct
from the county Office to avoid any
error from secondhand information.
All new laws are now in effect ex-
cept Section 641S which takes effect
August Q, 1913. All old circulars or
schedule Of weights per bushel should
be destroyed and new ones secured
and complied with. Our instructions
are to confiscate all apparatus that
cannot be sealed and enforce the
laws. The state Is going to send in
spectors into our county to see that
the work is done.
Briefly stated, you are quite safe
from arrest II you use realed weigh
ing or measuring device, providing
II Is In good working order and used
for what 1t is intended and correctly
quoted, and follow Section 6418-1 and
Section 131O8. But when you try to
change the mode Of dealing as out
lined In Section GALS to get away
from the weight, you are getting ON
dangerous ground and the state in
spectors will surely get you a. they
have about a dozen In Columbus.
The sealer's ONCE record is open
for public inspection AMI II your deal
ing is above reproach, 30 will your
record be.

One Of the arguments used by the
Ohio Tax Dodgers Association to aid
Its members In their fight to prevent
the state taxing machinery being made
an efficient agency for bringing per.
. sonal property out OF hiding and hav-
Ing It placed on the tax duplicate is
that the Warnes bill. under which the
reorganization Is to be effected, means
an extra expense to the tax payers.
The truth Is the Warnes bill will re-
sduce the annual cost Of assessing
. property. The cost Of the last quad.
. rennial appraisement Of real estate
was $1,777,95S. and the annual cost
OF assessing personal property under
existing laws Is 100000. or an annual
expenditure OF moro than one million
dollars. Under the Warnes bill the
Quadrennial appraisement Of real en-.
tate Is abolished. and both real and
personal property will be appraised
each year. One corps Of assessors will
do the work that two corps has been
engaged in. With valuations kept up.
to-date the necessary work will be di.
minished and that means loss q.
pensc.

In this organization arc multi.mil.

Chairman w. l.. Finley, Of the State
Democratic Executive Committee, has
made emphatic denial Of story pub
lished in Columbus paper last Sun.
day that he had attempted to prevent
members OF county Democratic com.
mittees signing referendum petitions
on the Warnes and Fitzpatrick laws.
The only lining up" that Mr.. Finley
says he ever attempted was for the
purpose of fighting fraud and corrup-
tion in connection with the proposed
referendum.
{, in the only letter which Mr.. Finley
mas sent to county chairmeu since
tbs inst exposure Of fraud on the com
.pensation act petitions, no first called
iattention 10 the crooked work done
Wy men soliciting signatures for that
referendum. and then he referred as
follows to the other proposed rcferen-
-dums.
n would also call your attention 10
the fact that the same organization.
the same set OF men are busiiy en-.
$saged. presumably by the same crook
cd tactics, In tho preparation Of other
referendum petitions and I would ask
that you be on your guard for these
crooks, and that you warn all decent
scitizens to likewise DO on the lookout
However, let the people know that II
Is quite proper TO sign any petition
upOn which they have convictions. cir.
sculated by one whom they know and
whose integrity Is unQuestioned."
Evidence that Mr.. Finley hit the
mark was given In the columns OF q
Lima paper, recently. when two col

RAINLESS WHEAT GROWN
ON AFRlCA'S ARID PLAINS.
Moisture Saving FsIlows Make Asri.
culture Possible In Continent.

What seems one Of the most wonder
ful and fruitful discoveries Of the
world, say dispatches from London.
was announced and described by Mr.
Macdonald In q lecture at the Royal
Colonial institute recently. A few
years ago It was universally believed
that In the dry belt In South Africa
agriculture was tied to the water fur
row. This meant q few cultivated
patches lslanded In a desert. In fact.
tens Of thousand Of acres are today
carrying crops In the dry district with
no help from irrigation. We quote the
lecturers words:
America has grown wheat on an
eight inch rainfall. Australia has
grown wheat on nve inch rainfall, but
we In South Africa have grown rain
less wheat That Il to say that dur
eng the last season In Lichtenburg.
which is in the dry zone Of the Trans.
vaal. we have grown a wheat without
q single drop Of rain falling upon 1t
from seed time until harvest. This Is
the Durum wheat apulia. which we
originally introduced from the dry belt
Of Italy.
sour success has been due to the use
Of what we term moisture saving fal
lows The great problem Of South
African agriculture is not the problem
of fertility. It Is the problem Of the
conservation Of moisture.
I'VE have now solved that problem
and made possible the Immediate set
tlement Of our dry or arid lands. But
the trlumphs Of science as applied to
agriculture In South Africa are not
confined to the discovery of rainless
wheat. The locusts. which have
plagued the land for ages. are today
kept under control. The progress OF
the insect invaders. which from the
days Of the pharaohs iii yesterday was
regarded as irresistible as fate, can TO-
day be easily checked by means Of ar
senic spray.
"The flight Of every swarm Of locusts
II registered and telegraphed to the
headquarters Of the union department
of agriculture Of Pretoria. and when
the young locusts emerge the veldt Is
ridged by poisoned grass. over which
they cannot pass. A short time ago
the government Of Peru sent an expert
to the Trpnsvaal to study our methods
Of locust destruction. but the only To-
Gust which the entomologist could
show him was to be found In the mu.
scum. The authors Of such discoveries
- these, the real creators Of wealth,
are surely tho true heroes 40 they are
certainly the benefactors Of the nce
Yet what IL their personal reward
