DENOUNCE CROP DEPOSITS

.ts..Alleged That Treasury Plan viii Ben
IN tbFt Spectators, Not Producers.
'ore Halina, Kan. The plan of the treas
they department for placing money in
I Various banks to aid in moving crops
was criticised severely at the national
convention of the Farmers Union and
the convention adopted report of the
| legislative committee which declared
st could not see single benefit in
the crop aid plan"
The report declared the result of the
plan would be that money would not
be loaned to the farmer to enable him
to market his crop gradually to meet
demands of trade, but would put more
money into the hands of spectators
to buy crops from farmers forced to
sell because they could not get
money"
The administration currency bill also
was criticised on the ground that it
would force farmers to sell at har-
vest time and that speculation would
follow
The convention adopted resolutions
asking congress not ito allow further
appropriations for bulletin service
which nobody reads" but to give more
appropriations for farmers inter
ests."
A resolution urging a national mar
keting bureau was adopted.
Speakers at the convention said the
amount of money the treasury depart
ment is to place in the various banks
over the country to aid in the moving
of crops should be increased TO $780,
100000 under conditions requiring the
central banks to loan the money to
their correspondent banks in the ru-
raj sections at per cent. interest and |
rural banks to charge their custom
ers per cent. for loans.

PENALTY OF ST A BALE FACING
THE FARMERS OF THE
SOUTH.
Penalty Will Be Assessed on Every
Bale Not Conforming to
the Standard.

Washington-A penalty of 81 a
bale on each bale of cotton which
does not conform to the standard q
by 54-inch size, will be assessed by
the railroads and steamships compa-
MES
Notice of this penalty was given six
months ago, and hearings have been
held by the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce. of which
Representative Adamson of Georgia
is chairman, with the view of securing
an agreement among all parties as to
the size and density of cotton bales.
Despite all this advertising, some
persons only woke up to the fact
that the penalty would be exacted.
Congressman from cotton growing
states were urged by telegraph to
take the matter up with the secretary
of agriculture and the interstate COM
merce commission to see if something
could not be done to avert this pen
atty.
After looking into the mattel fur
Their, several senator's who. originally.
agreed to join the allegation, charged
their minds. They believe the uni (.
form bale is a good thing. They say
it's comparatively simple matter for
ginners to change their gin boxes to
conform to the new regulations; that
the ginners had ample notice, and
could have easily met the require
ments of the 'ansportation compa-

voy of the Huerta government, to con
tinue with the Washington admins

Senior De Zamaconas chief connec-

and his mission is said to contemplate
not only the furtherance of the nego-

floating of a loan that would be en-

PELLAGRA PUZZLE
TO THE SCIENTISTS
LITTLE KNOWN or THE DISEASE
AFTER TWO YEARS or
RESEARCH.
COMMISSIONS STATEMENT
Southern Physicians Hold Conference
70 Discuss Causes Of the
Disease.

Spartanburg, S. C.-After two years
Of research by a corps of twenty sci
entists, the Thompson-McFadden Pei
iagra commission still is ignorant OF
the cause of the disease. This was an
nounced by DR. Ward ]. McNeal of
the New York POSTGRADUATE hospital,
a member of the commission, at con-
ference here of Southern physicians.
Nearly two hundred physicians, stu
dents of the disease, we're here for
the conference. They came from near
ly every Southern state.
Doctor McNeal summarized the COM
missions findings thus:
First, the superstition that the indi-
gestion of good or spoiled maize is
the essential cause of pellagara is not
supported by our study.
Second, pellagra is in all probabil-
ity a specific infectious disease COM
municable by means at present I'M
known.
"Third, we have discovered no evil
denee discriminating Buffalo gnats in
the causation of pellagra If il is dis
tributed by blood-sucking insect, the
stable fly would appear to be the most
probable carrier.
Fourth, we are inclined to regard
intimate association in the household
and the contamination of food with
she excretions of pellagrins as posi-
BILE modes of distribution of the dis
ease.
Five, no specific cause of pellagra
has been recognized"
Although none of the assembled ply
sicians was able to suggest a specific
for the disease, DR.. c. H.
Lavinder of the public health service,
Ca, declared:
If you remove pellagrin in the
early stages of the disease from the
endemic locality of the disease, put
lin in better surroundings and give
lin plenty of good. nourishing food,
regardless of treatment he will get
Rell and stay well. In view of the
ligh mortality of pellagra and the
)essimistic feeling in regard to it this |
hould be a comforting thought to us.
t should also be comforting that pei
agra is not directly transmissible from
me person to another"

be completed by dredging.
Washington.-Com Of dry ex-
cavation on the Panama canal just ten
days ahead of schedule time advanced
the work on the great waterway al
most to the final stage. Much digging
and cleaning out remains to be done
in Culebra cut and along the route,
but this will be accomplished by
mammoth dredges floating on the sur
face of the canal.
An army of men will be busy during
the next four weeks removing steam
shovels and other equipment and ma
terial, including Sc miles of railroad
track from the emile channels in
Culebra cut between Gamboa dixie and
Pedro Miguel locks. This is prepare
tory to turning water into the chan
mel from Gatun lake, on the Atlantic
side, on October 5, five days in ad-
vance of the date set for dynamiting
Gamboa dixie. The water will be intro
duced through four 26-inch pipes ex-
tending underneath the dixie, and, al
though the five day period hardly will
suffice to fill the channel to one
third the canal level, enough would
be let in to act as a cushion against
the explosion when the dixie is de-
stroyed.
While the cut is being cleared of
railway and equipment, drilling and
blasting will be going on at the bot
ON of the channel, loosening up rock
