| Washington, Oct. 19.-The new cot
! ton pest in Northern Florida. which
was announced as the Egyptian pink
boil worm proves after all to be a
scavenger boil, Secretary Houston in
formed congress today. He reported
to the house the other day that u
forty-acre cotton field IN Northern
Florida was infested by the Egyptian
worms, that prompt steps should be
taken to control and eradicate it and
recommended an immediate appropri&
ton of $4,000.
"a further investigation of the in
tested area by the department of agri-
culture experts on the ground" he re-
ported today to the house, reveals
that a pink boil worm was present
but that it is not the Egyptian pink
boil worm. The destruction of the cot
ton was caused by q plant disease and
the pink boil worm which followed
appearing on the plant is in reality a
scavenger.
The department has adequate pow
er and facilities for dealing with the
problem"
Secretary Houston explained that
the previous diagnosis was made by
examination of immature bolls and
that the cotton taken was justified by
the possibilities of danger involved.

hostilities in Mexico are ended and
that he will support any provisional
government established by the national
convention at Aguas Calientes. Villa
said, however, he would not accept
Carranza as provisional president, but
he is satisfied Carranza won't be

enter the presidential race later.
The latest state department reports
describe Villas visit to the convention.
When he arrived the convention was
suspicious as to his purposes but when

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Halifax N s., Oct. 19.-Just what
plan would be pursued with regard to
the American tank steamer Brindilla.
seized by the British auxiliary cruiser
Caronia, and brought here yesterday
could not be learned today. 1t is sup
posed that the Brindilla, which was
formerly the German steamer Wash
ington, was suspected of having con-
traband aboard. It is also reported
that when she was halted by the Ca
roma outside Of New York harbOr last
Tuesday she was steering a course at
variance with the ordinary course for
her announced destination. She cleared
from New York for Alexandria, Egypt.
1t was thought possible that the
question whether the transfer of the
Brindilla from German to American
registry was a transaction in good
faith, might be considered by the ad-
miralty court.
The purchase of the steamer from
the Reidermann Line by the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. was an
nounced on Sept. 81.
The Brindilla still flies the Stars and
Stripes There were no prize court
proceedings today. The official inquiry
may require two CT three days before

PRIZE WHEAT WILL BE SOLD AT
AUCTION.

Sixty four farmers of North Amer
lea will be able to plant, next spring,
the best wheat produced on the con-
tinent in 1913.
Paul Gerlach grew it at Allan,
Saskatchewan. With it he won the
sweepstakes prize for the best bushel
of hard wheat shown at the eighth
International Dry Farming Congress
in Tulsa, Okla, in October, and
gained for his pains Rumely thresh-
ing machine worth 81, $50, delivered
by the company at his own railroad
station.

broken all hard wheat records in the

BEAN MONEY.

Mr.. Farmer. did you ever sit down
and have a good think about beans?
Just simple, white beans?
There's a demand for these same
beans away out of proportion to the
quantity grown in the United States,
and the prices run as high as 81. 90
or more per bushel.
Beans are easily grown. They
adapt themselves to the soil and eli
mate of practically every state in the
Union. And one of the best things
about bean growing IS that the land
on which they are grown seems to
improve with age. After % years of
growing beans on certain piece of
land, it produced a better crop than
at first. Ultimately, without doubt,
phosphates and possibly some potash,
lime and sulphur will have to be add
ed, but until now the beans have sup
piled their own nitrogen.
Of course, some states are better
than others for bean growing. Mich
igan, New York and Wisconsin grow
more beans than any other portions
of the country. But even in Con-
necticut, where the soil is gritty,
billy an thickly mixed with gravel
and stones, the farmers plant corn,
and between the hills navy beans.
The corn has hard time of it, but
the little beans struggle up gamely
and thrive under conditions that
would discourage any other plant.
SO you can be pretty sure of a
yield, no matter where you are To-
Gated, and you can be absolutely sure
of demand at splendid prices. The
demand for beans which began A
years ago at the time Of the Civil war,
when our soldiers found life and
strength in the nutriment of this
vegetable, is steadily increasing. Ii
has been SO great during recent years
that importations have reached from

the contest, has been donated to the
international Dry Farming Congress,
with the request that it be divided
into small lots and auctioned to the
highest bidders, the proceeds to go
to the support of the Congress.
The auction will be conducted from
Wichita, Kansas. The prize bushel
has been divided into Ga lots of one
pint each. Not more than two pints
will be sold to any one farmer. No
price has been set by the Congress
on the samples. Applications for
the wheat, accompanied by certified
checks or postal orders, will be re-
ceived by the Congress up to April 1,
1914. On that date the applications
will be opened and the GA men who
have sent the largest sums Of money
will each be mailed, at once, care
fully packed pint of the best wheat
grown in America, together with a
certificate showing that the wheat is
a part of the prize winning bushel.
All money sent by persons whose
bids are not high enough, will be
promptly returned. The standing OF
the international Dry Farming Con-
gress is enough, IN itself, to insure
fair play for every farmer.

n H..


Secretary r. Ell. Faxon of the Con
gress, in speaking of the unique
terms of the contest, said
81 have no idea what the bids will
be in amount Last year, at Leth
bridge, Alberta, the owner of the
winning bushel of wheat refused $500
for it. | know, too, that a bushel of
this wheat, used to plant seed plot
and carefully selected thereafter, is
worth many times $400 to any farmer
in the west who wants to increase his
yield per acre and the quality of his
crop.
'Planted next year on seed plot
4OX4O feet and properly cared for,
pint of this wheat should yield enough
good seed by the third year to plant
a $40 acre farm. The wheat is espe-
cially adapted to the Northern states
and the Western provinces of Canada,
and may be expected to produce its
highest and best yields there.
''We propose to give one pint OF
this winning wheat to each of the "a
American farmers who offer us the
most money for it, and we will not
know until later how much money we
will realize from the sale conducted
in this way. After that date the
wheat will be shipped at once. and
all money sent in by unsuccessful
bidders will be returned. Bids and
postal orders should be sent to the
International Dry Farming Congress,
Wichita, Kansas.

400, 600 to nearly /, 5UO, OOO bushels
with value of from 5000, 900 to 81,
OOO, 900. The American farmer, not
the foreign grower, should be pocket
ing the profit these importations
represent The area of the United
States devoted to bean raising is
gradually widening. But there
should be a swifter realization among
our farmers that the bean is cash
crop. American farmers should wipe
out this early Importation of million
or more bushels.
Meet the national demand. Look
your farm over. There's many plot
that can be devoted to beans to the
money making benefit of the farmer
and the money saving benefit OF the
nation. OF course, the richer the
soil, the heavier the yield. Crops
from 40 to so bushels of 60 pounds
each on heavier bean lands in normal
seasons are no exceptions, while 10
to 25 bushels may be expected on or
binary soils, at any rate. At 81. 30 or
more per bushel, it is easy to figure
how your profits will run up.
From one-half to one bushel is
sown per acre. Seed should be sown
very shallow, from one to two inches
in depth, as it terminates very quick
ly. Plant when settled warm weather
has come, say about the 10Th of June
or little earlier. Cultivate, at first,
deeply. Two or three CIVILIZATIONS are
usually ample for one season. When
the leaves turn yellow and pods
whlten, it is time to think of the
harvest. The pods and vines when
dry and bright are the best kind of
roughage for sheep and cattle during
the winter months, and have value
of from Sc. 90 to $40 per ton.
AS a matter of fact most American
farmers are cashing in on the won
derful profits of bean growing. But
why permit Southern Europe, Can
ada, Mexico or any foreign country
to join in on any of the profits made
possible through the demand for
beans by the citizens of the United
States? These profits rightfully be-
long to American farmers. The year
before us, 1914, presents an oppOrtu-
ty to cut down on the consumption
of foreign grown beans. Let US see
to it that 1914 far exceeds any previ-
Gus year in our own home grown
yield. Bean growing should consti-
tute a regular rotation with other
crops on most farms. Start with the
year 1914.
