New Orleans
The first important tariff change
brought about by the Panama Canal
New Oarleans. To meet the compe-
tition of the all-water shipments fror.
California to the eastern seaboard,
the Southern Pacific Railroad has Or
tanned permission to put in a greatly
reduced combination rail and water
rate between these points on certain
commodities. New Orleans does no.
get the rate because there is no regu-
lar steamship line operating between
this port and tie west coast
The rate is effective from San Fran.
cisco, San Pedro and Wilmington,
Cal, to New York, Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and Charleston on the eastern
seaboard. 1t is a fiat rate of 40 cents
applicable to asphaltum, barley, beans
and canned goods. The old rates on
these commodities, which rates were
enjoyed both by New Orleans AMI
New York, werr as follows: Asphal-
tum, 55 cents; barley, 62 IL cents,
beans, IS cents; salmon, 20 cents;
canned goods other than salmon, 40
cents.
The new rate is effective on a rail
route to Galveston and thence By
ship to New York. 1t does not apply
via New Orleans, although the South
ern Pacific operates ship line from
this port to New York also.
While the railroads propose to re-
construct the rates to intermediate
points, the disparity between the
through rate to the Eastern seaboari
and those effective to New Orleans is
so great that wholesale grocers and
others dealing in these commodities
fear that their business may be Sc
riously affected.
| 1t is proposed to reconstruct the
rates from intermediate points BY
adding to the Accent rate the loce
rates to the nearest Atlantic coast
port. The commission sanctioned this
with the prov so that the rates SC
constructed shall not exceed the low
est combinat .on on the California
po.Its.

Strength Of Fly.

An Englishman has made many ex.
periments with various insects, such
as caterpillars, feas, butterflies and
flies, which show how extraordinarily
strong these insects are.
A bluebottle fly weighing 1-2S Of an

of q little ever six ounces, or practic-

PLAN TO SPRAY VEGETABLES
Machinery as Necessary for Garden
as for Orchard-Liquid Should
Be Put on In Fine Mist.

A spraying machine is as necessary
for the garden as the orchard Some
folks use a common water sprinkler
for applying spraying mixtures; but
this does little good, because it is not
only great waste of material, but the
plants are not fully covered in this
way.
The liquid should be put on in fine
mist, not as a heavy rain. To apply
paris green in water various cheap
hand sprayers are on the market now.
They need not be of copper for
this purpose, as paris green will not
corrode iron any more than does wa
ter; but when bordeaux mixture is
used as a carrier for the arsenical
poison land we would strongly urge
that this be done in every case, as 1t
must be done if we put our potato
growing operations on a safe basis)
then the sprayer must be made of
copper and brass-iron would be eat
en- away in a short time.
The modern knapsack sprayer, which
possibly is the best implement for
spraying smaller patches of potatoes
up to three or four acres-cucumbers
or other vines. and for general use
as a sprayer machine in the garden
and small vineyard will involve a
first expense of from $12 to SIS, but it
will pay in any large-sized garden.
