THE FARMER

Mems State Corn Show a Success
The Mems State Corn Show held at
Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 21-24, by the
West Virginia Grain Growers Associ-
alton, was by far the largest and best
ever held in the State. There was a
decided increase in the number Of
entries and the quality was excellent,
and showed that the Sta e of West
Virginia can grow corn {hich rivals
that of any other state III the Union.
Joseph A. Gist, of Wellsburg, eX-
hibited the Champion ten ears of the
show, winning il. Case corn plant

Samuel G. Gist, of Wellsburg, exhib-
tied Champion single ear, winning a
Silver Cup offered by the Ohio Farm

White. Many other valuable prizes
were given-many farmers of differ
ent counties winning them. Plans are
now under way for larger and bet

May form COMPANY
FOR NEW GAS HEATER


B. G. Bartlebaugh seems to have
put Wheeling on the gas stove map
with a heater that is the last word in
gas consumption. His system is a di-
rect departure from the old ways. In
stead of igniting the gas as it leaves
the mixture, burning whatever posi-
BILE and letting the rest go into the
room or out of the chimney, Br. Bar
tlebaugh's system takes the fumes
and unburned gas down behind the
burner, sends this through a row of
holes directly into. the flame again,
and keeps up this continuous opera
ton until every particle in the gas
is consumed. As result there are no
fumes in the room, though no flue
connection is used, and there lis no
water on the windows and furniture,
for even the moisture in the gas is
burned. Nothing gets out of the heat
er but heat.
He has perfected the method now
and is using it in several forms, his
latest being a heater that sets back
in the fire place, and sends the heat
out into the room, with the chimney
nue closed. He is intending applying
the system to furnace heating and is
contemplating cook stoves.
While SO far the production has
been carried ON in modest way, he
is now being urged to form stock
company and produce the heater on
q large scale. There Is therefore q
likelihood that Wheeling viii have a
new and big industry.

- ---- WE WILL NOW HAVE - ------
A Feuu Remarks
BY WALTER B. HILTON

TWO BITTER ENEMIES of state workmen's COM
pensaton coal barons and casualty insurance peo
ple-have opened fire upon the Bloch bill, drawn by
mttees from the Ohio Valley Assembly, the Business
Mems Association and the Board of Trade They do not
dare longer to oppose the idea Of Industrial compensation
but they contend that they want the option Of nsuring
where they please
The coal barons believe that they get lower rates
from private company than from the state and the in
people want the money that the state would get
nasmuch the idea of the law is to make profit for
the state but to pay all back to the injured workmen
it apparent that the only way in which the insurance
companies could give lower rate would be by preventing
the payment Of claims that the state would naturally al
low Under the law claims be protested and it clear
that prvate company with private profit in vew would
have temptation to protest claims than would state
officials with nothing to gain personally
And this would defeat the objects of the BILL for the
idea is to give protection to the injured workmen and
their families without to courts where the law
yers get all the money In Ohio they have law that
leaves optional and the State Board Of Awards
after thorough trial. is unanimous in demanding that
the law be amended to make it compulsory.
The Bloch bill is compulsory It is the Bloch bill that
Labor wants. It is the Bloch bill that fair and humane
employers want The only people opposing workrnen
compensation doing from desire for private gain
reap profit for themselves out Of the crushed and
bleeding forms Of injured workngmen to coin into cash
for themselves the tears of the widows and the walls Of
orphans.

l. Greasy Heel.
my horse has greasy heel. What
can do for it?''-F. M. NJ, Botsford
W. Va.
Mix together in a saucer with a
table knife the following solution:
one half OF. sulphur. two OF. lard, and
two teaspoonfuls y. of creolin. Rub
this solution thoroughly on the dis
eased part twice a, day.
Soy Beans.
when and how. should soy beans
be planted?"-P. H. S., Ravenswood,
W. Va.
They are sown generally the first
week of June, drilling them with an
ordinary grain drill, stopping up part
of the holes in the drill. so that the
beans will be in rows to cultivate.
Use from one-half bushel to three
pecks per acre. You will need to set
the drill to SOW a larger amount than
that, since you have stopped up part
of the holes. If you care to sow
broadcast for hay, use about one and
a half bushel of seed. They should
be cut before the leaves begin to
fall. "a. e..
Corn Ear Worm.
What may be done toward destroy
ing corn ear worm 81. D. T., Elk
ms.
This worm lives in the ground dur
ing the winter and in the spring
crawls up the corn stalk and finally
enters the ear at the silk end. So
far we have discovered no definite
means of destroying this worm. The
best we can advise is to follow a
three-year rotation: Corn, wheat or
oats and then clover; and as far as
practical, 4plow the ground in the fall
or early winter.
High Grade Fertilizer.
Where can l get fertilizer tank
age containing Is per cent nitrogen"
g. R., Berkley Springs.
Tankage seldom contains more than
9 per cent of nitrogen. Dried blood,
however, carries from II per cent to
IA per cent and if you are DESTROYS
of that much nitrogen, you had better
secure the dried blood.

Lengthy Strike Won

Taylorsville, Ill, Feb. s.-The strike
of the Paper Mill Workers OF this

Mill Company has just been ended by
the company granting the advance in
wages demanded, recognizing the
rights of the employees to belong to a
lab or union, reinstatement OF all for
mer employees, and the right to take
up grievances. This strike was de-
clared on October Z. 1910, and has
been continued until recently, when

oregon's Accident Toll

Portland, Feb. 6.-The report of the
labor commissioner for the period in
Guided between May 20, 1911, and
September 80, 1912, shows that 5,179
accidents we're reported, and of these
1874 We're fatal. The largest number
Of accidents occurred in the lumber
industry, there having been $3.50 ac-
cidents in the saw and planning mills
of the state, with 81 fatalities in that
number. There were 544' accidents in
machine shops, foundries, ETC., while
the balance of the number reported
occurred in various avocations.. This
high rate of industrial accidents should
be a salient argument before the
present Legislature for the passage Of
a compensation law, which the union
lists Of this State have prepared and
are urging.
