SHERIFF STOPS GAME
GAMBLERS TAKEN AT INDEPEN-
DENCE POOL HALL.
Sheriff Orr and His Deputies Find
Game Running Full Blast and
Makes Eight Arrests.

Eight gamblers were taken into Gus
tody at Independence last night wher
Sheriff John Orr, with corps Of as.
sistants, raided a gambling room con.
Quoted by L. E. Chase in roomine
house on Railroad street. The sheriff
walked quietly into the place while a
lively poker game was in progress and
without trouble or disturbance had
the proprietor and players secure
within a short time. Sheriff Orr had
been suspicious of this particular
place, which he was sure was being
maintained for no other purpose than
as gaming den, but up to this time
had not secured sufficient evidence to
warrant the arrest of the house. The
group was arraigned before Justice
Holman this morning at ten O'Clock
and. plead guilty to the charges plac-
ed against them by the state. JUS
tice Holman placed fines of $25
against each of the players and $3.50
against the operator Of the place,
which contained two card tables and
sufficient other evidence to convict the
players. Only few of the prisoners
had any hope of arranging to pay the
fines, and at press time this morning
all but two, who paid their fines, were
locked in the county Jail until fines
could be secured. Some of the play
ers are farmers and well-known resi-
dents of the Independence district,
while others appear to be members OF
the floating gang that has infested In
since the hop picking sea-
son started.
1t has been known for some time
that such games were open at Inde-
pendence and on Saturday night the
city authorities there took four men
from a game and released them after
FLO fines were collected. Until last
night no great deal of attention had

Fertilizer and Japanese Cane.
(By John M, Scott.)

In this work, eight plots of Japa-
nese cane were used. The plots were
fortified with the following amounts
per acre. Plot l, 112 pounds dried
blood, and 81 pounds muriate of pot
ash. Plot II, "a pounds muriate OF
potash, and 224 pounds acid phos-
phate. Plot III, 112 pounds dried
blood, and 224 pounds acid phosphate
Plot ~, 72 pounds sulphate of ammo
MIA, "a pounds muriat eof potash, an !
224 pounds acid phosphate. Plot v,
112 pounds dried blood, 81 pounds mu-
riate of potash, and 224 pounds acid
phosphate. Plot VI, 72 pounds sui
phate of ammonia, 81 pounds sulph;,te
of potash, and 224 pounds acid phos-
phate. Plot VII, 112 pounds dried
blood, 81 pounds sulphate of potash,
and 224 pounds acid phosphate. Plot
VIII, 112 pounds dried blood, "a
pounds sulphate of potash, 224 pounds
acid phosphate, and 1000 pounds
ground limestone.
Analyses.
The following analyses were made
from the crop grown on plots fertil-
lied as noted above for five year,
so that any different fertilizing pre-
Vlous to this could have had no effect
on the analysis.
The cane from plot l analyzed; pro
tein, IT; nitrogen-free extract, SAG;
crude fiber, 34.5; ether extract, is;
and ash 4.3 per cent. Plot II cane
gave protein "a, nitrogen-free ex-
tract $50, crude fiber 1875, ether ex.
tract 1.6, and ash 3.S. Plot III yield
e. protein "a, nitrogen-free extract
55.5, crude fiber 1878, ether extract ~,
and ash 80. The cane from plot "
gave protein 20, nitrogen-free extract
53,5, crude fiber 356, ether extract1 8,
and ash 3.5. Plot V gave protein q,
nitrogen-free extract 55.4, crude fiber
53.5, ether extract 2.3 and ash 3.S.
Plot vi yielded protein 20, nitrogen
free extract 54.5, crude fiber 1873,
ether extract 1.9, and ash 3.5. Plot
VII analyzed protein 10, nitrogen
free extract 55.3, crude fiber 35.5 ether
extract 1.6, and ash 3.3. Plot VIII
gave protein 1.9, nitrogen-free extract
53.8, crude fiber 1873, ether extract 1.9,
and ash 3.8.
Conclusions.
Plot II, which had received no am
monia for five years, produced crop
with almost the maximum percentage
OF protein. If the fertilizer had any
effect on the composition of the crop,
the effect should have been shown
clearly in this case by the production
of crop with low percentage of
protein.
There is not enough difference in
the composition of the Japanese cane
from the different plots to Indicate
that the fertilizer has any influence in
changing the composition of the crop.
In previous press bulletin it was
shown that the fertilizer had no effect
on the quality of the juice of Japanese
cane.
The only conclusion that can be
drawn as to the effect fertilizer has
on the crop is that an application of
fertilizer will increase the yield of
green material, but does not effect its
composition.-Press Bulletin, Fla. Ex-
pertinent Station.
