The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1915-02-26

AS there are today 1900 miles of
Missouri railroads in the hands of re-
ceivers and it is an open secret that
three or four more big lines cannot
stand the strain much longer, which
would make the total mileage in the
hands of receivers nearly 5000 out of
a total Missouri mileage of 5000, it
would seem that it is time to take
some steps to investigate the causes
for this condition among our big trunk
line railways of this state and to pro-
coed to relieve such a financial and
depressed condition in some way.
These big railroad properties, which
form net work over our state and
are the avenues of transportation
for persons, mail, freight and express,
will be allowed to run down until
they will be unsafe for any kind of
transportation when in receivers
hands; because a receiver as a general
rule does not care so much for the
property in his hands as he does for
the legal fees which he gets out of
the receivership.

Planting Cabbage


A few years ago the Herald re-
ceived an advertising proposition
from cabbage plant grower on Yon-
ges Island, South Carolina, and en-
tered into a contract with them to
take so many thousand plants in ex-
change for a certain amount of adver-
Using. We believe the first year we
contracted for $4,000, but we remem-
Der, on account of the overflow, we
did not use the entire amount. The
following year we entered into an
other contract for larger number,
and again did not use the amount due
us. From the first we interested
John T. Buckley in the business, plac-
ing the plants with him, and each
year he increased his planting, until
last year he was shipping cabbage to
several points, after supplying the
home merchants. The cabbage are
very early, can be set out in the open
as early as January or February, are
hardy, frost-proof, and mature before
the warm summer months, in fact, be-
fore the cabbage worm begins to work
to any extent.
From the small beginning, the cab
bage industry here has grown, until
last week Mr.. Buckley had ordered
$4,000 plants, some of his customers
being Esq. F. M. Gwin, 1900; t. p.
Russell, 5000, and Mr.. Buckley will
plant 5000. Besides these, John
Fields, P. S. Ravenstein, Barney
Stoclsmann, G. B. Webb, Horse"
Thompson, Mrs. Edith R. King, Chas.
H. Wells and others are planting this
cabbage. This means that Hayti
will develop into a cabbage shipping
point this year, and some nice returns
for the small expenditure and labor
will be received, By the way, have
any of you tried common salt as a.

We are reliably informed that Hon
John L. Bradley is a full-hedged can
didate for State Auditor. We must
bear in mind that John L. only lacked
about 1000 votes defeating the present
incumbent, John A. Gordon, in the last
presidential election. No other public
official in the state is more deserving
than Mr.. Bradley, and we believe that
success will crown his efforts.

ARE REPORTED SAFE
Submarines Shelled Boats as They
Were Being Lowered-Two of the
tomas Crew Seriously and Two
Others Slightly Wounded.

FALMOUTH, June 5.-The British
steamer Inkum. from New York to
London, was torpedoed at 400 clock
yesterday morning 43 miles southwest
Of Lizard Head. The crew was landed
here by the Norwegian steamer
Wendla
No submarine had been observed
when terrific explosion shook the
vessel, which began to settle. The crew
took 70 the boats, but the steamer
settled so slowly that some of them
returned to the ship hoping that they
might save her. They noticed how
ever, the periscope Of submarine,
which discharged a second torpedo,
completing the work of destruction.
The Inkum left New York on May

vents the names OF officers in COM
mand, the number of troops stationed
on the different fronts, and even the
destinations of regiments or companies
frcm appearing IN the news dispatches.
The censors however allow news of
the mobilization to be forwarded 1t
is now stated officially that the mobil-
ization is complete, and that all Ital-
ian soldiers occupy posts which Lieut.
Gen. Count Cadorna designated from
his office in Rome
Encounters with the enemy thus far
are regarded as merely outpost Skin
mishes, which, however, are most sig
nificant, since they have invariably re-
suited in Italian successes, allowing
Italy to occupy advantageous positions
in Austrian territory.
On both sides preparations are being
made for decisive action leading to
great battle, which, it is expected
will occur within fortnight or three
weeks

The peace strength of the Prussian
army is 100000 men-in other words,
the Prussian losses to date are given as
strength of the Prussian army.
The peace strength of the Bavarian
army is three army corps, 10000 men,
that of the Saxon army $4,000 men and
of the Wuerttemberg army 10000 men.
Assuming tina the war strength of these
Kingdoms bears a similar ratio to the
peace strength to the ratio prevailing
in Prussia and that the losses in these
armies III proportion to their strength
are similar to those of the Prussian
army the figures would indicate that the
losses of these three armies to date are
roughly 100000 men, which. added TO
total German loss of 2,108,000 men.
The total war strength of the Ger
man army before the present war be-
gan was estimated at 1,S50,00o men, be-
hind which was an estimated strength
of l,5000 900 men, wholly or partially
trained, to supply the waste of war,
making total paper strength of $780,
600 men, not including the garrison
units or the Landstrum.
1t would appear therefore that an
equivalent of two-thirds of the entire
paper strength of the trained German
army already has been wiped out. The
total losses estimated, however, must
be reduced by the considerable mum
Der of wounded who have recovered
and returned to the front.
