England wants more copper and made
known her needs to producers IN New
York. 4 British inquiry for 1000 tons
OF electrolyt'c was In the market since
early IN the week, but owing 10 the qui'e
general policy of demanding cash (. O. D..
New York, there was some delay In
placing the business. Domestic manu-
facturers also bought this week, although
not very heavily The demand came
chiefly from ammuntion manufacturers
who have record breaking orders on their
hooks one producer says that there
bav. been a number OF eleven cent bids
IN the market, but none OF them have
been accepted
\ scmi-oficial representative OF the
! British Government, II Is said. has been
in this city recently in conference with
large copper interests. An offer was ma de
by this representative, II was said ycster-
day. for the purchase by Great Britain OF
the entire visible supply of copper in the
United states on condition that the
I'rited states should cease exporta ton to
Europe. While the proposition, It is said,
was under the guise OF British desire to
placate the American copper 'rade, the
offer was interpreted here ~ a plan to
get into the hands OF GreT Britain q
virtual monopoly Of the copper business OF
Europe. Tho price mentioned was 1919
cents. This, 1t vas said. is practically
below the cost OF production.
The proposition, II was said. would he
an excellent business deal for the British
but II failed to interest American copper
I companies The proposition has been
fatty rejected
BIDS hav" been made IN behalf Of the
British Government for copper removed
from vessels n Gihraltor, but some OF
the producers have signifcd their inten-
ton Of refusing 10 accept the pr'ces
offered.
There remains in the market some do

port account. New commitments for ship,
ment abroad before the year end were

Malone, \. Y. March 31-The

the property to agents o. William
Rockefeller 1t will become part of
his vast game preserves. The sale
was made by William LamOra. who
inherited the cabin and grounds up
on the death Of his father, Oliver,
who since 1892 had declined to dis
pose Of the property.
In 1892 William Rockefeller set
out to acquire the game preserve.
He bought $1,000 acres around the
town of Brandon but could not Sc
cure Oliver Lamora's cabin and
clearing, which stood in the way Out
Of this arose legal battle between
the oil magnate's agents and the old
trapper.
1t was expensive work for Lamora
but his neighbors came to his aid fl
nancially.
Lamora was arrested for tres
passing but twice he defeated the
Rockefeller agents in the courts by
showing that the fish in the Rookie
feller streams were supplied by the
state hatchery and that the state
la W forbade the setting aside OF such
waters as part Of any private estate.
On the third occasion when agents
got Lamora into court it was over
civil suit for damages. Il finally
reached the court Of appeals which
found in Rockefeller favor. The
damages awarded were only / 5 cents
but $500 in costs was assessed
against the old trapper.
For the remainder o. Lamora 5
life the Rockefeller agents recOgniz-

to sell. After he died the son assum-

smart of being defunct:
AT the annual meeting of the
New South Farm & Home Company,
held at the Offices of the company in
this city last Monday an important
action was taken pregnant with pros
perity for the entire county and
state. This action consisted in
determination by the company to es-
tablish on the lands of the company
within a few miles of Palatka a big
cattle ranch to consist of somewhere
between six and seven thousand
acres of land. This ranch will be
some twelve miles southwest of Pal
atka. The ranch will be stocked
with high-grade blooded stock and
the company will go into the busi-
ness of cattle raising on an extensive
scale. The big hog farm Will also
be on the lands owned by the COM
pany about ten miles northwest of
the city and will consist Of one whole
section under fence"

EXPERTS SPECIALLY
NEEDED IN AGRICULTURE
Okla waha. March 80. 1914

Editor Star: Some one has asked,
If a man who has farmed from ten
20 forty years is not an expert. where
will one be found?'
There are men who have taught
school. practicei medicine. edited
newspapers, engaged in business. fol-
lowed blacksmithing. and even dug
bitches for that length OF time who
are still bunglers al their business.
And that is just as true OF farming
as OF anything else Some OF them
have worked at it for fifty years and
yet an expert would take their tools,
their land and their stock and pro-
duce twice as much with less labor.
\ life time on a farm does not pro-
duce an expert. There are things
that cannot be learned on a farm
that are Of vast Importance. To be
an expert farmer man must be able
to know soils, have knowledge of
bacteria, a knowledge of chemistry
and some other sciences that can be
obtained only in large institutions
with extensive laboratories. The ex-
pert farmer would have been able to
raise alfalfa where others failed by
inoculating the soil with the right
kind Of bacteria. | know of banker
near my old home up in Canada who
took a course in the agricultural col
lege and learned about these bac-
teria. He made several thousand
dollars by selling TO farmers sacks of
dirt taken from an old alfalfa field
and those inexperienced farmers got
a good stand, where they had failed
before, although they knew nothing
Of the cause that produced the good
stand. A farm demonstrator in that
part of the Province of Quebec would
have made an alfalfa field of those
lands years before the general culti
yation of alfalfa was a success.
There are things of like nature
occurring all the time which no
farmer can learn on a farm. How
would he ever have Learned that
kaffir corn and Durham wheat
would add millions to the wealth Of
the farmers in the semi-arid regions.
Mr.. s. j. McCully's suggestion
about treating seed oats before
planting would have saved ne crop
for many farmer last year had
they but followed his directions.

For just experience tells IN every
soil.
That those who think must govern
those that toll"

PRESIDENT STANDS
( BY THE PLATFORM
Shows that the Champions Of EN-
emptiOn are Really Working for
the Republican Policy of
Ship Subsidy

Washington, March 31-PresiIent
Wilson declared yesterday that be-
cause of contradictory statements in
the Baltimore platform, democrats
should have no hesitation in voting
for repeal Of the Panama canal tolls
exemption.
The president emphatically char
acterized the exemption as a subsidy
and pointed out that one plank in
the Baltimore platform expressed
opposition to any subsidy, direct or
indirect, while another plank decIar
ed for tolls exemption. The presi-
dent asserted there should be no
doubt among democrats as to which
should take precedence.
The president reiterated that the
exemption never was a policy of the
democratic House because il was
passed through coalition of repub-
licans and a minority of democrats.
the majority of democrats voting
against it on the ground that it was
a subsidy
The president explained that even
if the international situation to
which he referred in his message
had not arisen he would have been
opposed to the tolls exemption as
against democratic doctrine. But
he indicated, however. that if it
were not for the international sit
uation he did not feel that it would
have been proper for him to ques-
tion the acts of a previous admins
tration.
Mr.. Wilson talked frankly about
the tolls controversy in Congress,
saying that the story that he had en-
tered into bargain with Great Brit
tain through Sir William TyrreIl
private secretary to Sir Edward
Grey, was one Of a number OF insults
that had been introduced in the con-
gressiOnal debate. The president
declared he wanted 10 express his
