POISON FOR WEEDS.
An Arsenic Spray Ussd With Success,
In Hawaii.

Al Arsenic Spray Ussd With Success
In Hawaii.
Omcials Of the department Of agricul.
ture are greatly interested in reports
received from Hawaii to the effect that
one Of the big sugar companies has
adopted as a regular field practice the
system Of destroying weeds by use Of
an arsenic poison spray instead of BY
hoeing.
Experts who have conducted expert.
ments on Hawaii sugar lands estimate
that by the spraying method saving
can be made in labor of SIS to $50 per
acre per annum.
The latest developments along this
line in Hawaii are discussed in a letter
received from Professor 81. p. Agee.
director of the experiment station staff
Of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters asso-
citation. Before going to Hawaii Pro.
fessor Agee co-operated with the de-
sugar land.
The value of this method in Hawaii
is very great because Of the fact that.
like most tropical regions. the islands
are subject to t0rrential rains. The less
the surface Of sugar and other lands
Is disturbed by cultivation the less
chance there is that heavy rains will
wash of the top soil or Immediately
beat it into compact form.
A few years ago the department of
agriculture issued a bulletin dealing
with the weed factor in the cultivation
of corn, following series of expert
ments extending over several years.
which apparently established the prin-
ciple that 1t is the removal Of the
weeds rather than the cultivation
proper that contributes most Of the
production of the corn crop A series
Of 125 experiments were conducted,
covering many states. On some plots
the most approved methods of cultiva-
ton were employed. while on other
plots there was no cultivation what
ever. the weeds being eliminated by
surface scraping with hoe.
A general average of all these expert
ments showed that the plots that were
simply weeded produced 95.1 per cent
as much fodder and 09 1OS per cent as
much grain as those that were SUBJ
jected to the most approved methods
of cultivation.
The arsenic spray method will be
given trial ON corn land in Louisiana
this year by exports Of the Office Of
farm management in cooperation with
local authorities with view to deter
mining whether it Is not available for
use in that region, where climatic con-
ditions to some extent approach those
in Hawaii.
In Hawaii the spray Is applied to the
weeds with great care, since If it
touches the leaves on the cane they
are Immediately destroyed. When care
fully applied, however, either by u
hand spray or by spray consisting of
an oil barrel attached to stone sled
especially constructed for the purpose
and pulled by one mule there is no dan
ger to the cane.
Frequently it is necessary to follow
the sled spray with hand spray in
order to kill the few weeds that are
not reached. The results of the spray
ing method have been so satisfactory
that experiments are being connected
with a view to improving the some
what crude indictments now in use.

Following In the shoe tracks of their

people are wearing the best-looking
and best-made shoes which have fallen
to their lot SO far. The correct styles
for children as to shape are those that

enough not to slip at the heel, and a
little longer and broader than the feet

flexible soles and low heels.

of design and finish. All on the same

Railway Operating Results.

Net operating income OF the rail-
ways of the United States for May
increased 500 per mile, or 31.9 per
cent, as compared with May, 1914.
This increase was due in the main to
reductions in expenses, which have
been effected in all parts of the coun-
try. In May, 1914, net operating in
come per mile was 279 per cent less
than in May, 1913.
Total operating revenues amounted
to $237 ,976,s43, an increase from 1914
of $3sO,044. Operating expenses were
OS5. Net operating revenue amounted
to $70,375,952, an increase of $14,-
1877, 1923. Taxes amounted to ,343,-
30s, decrease Of $557,253. This left
$5S,976,635 for net operating income,
available for rentals, in terest on
bonds, appropriations for improve
ments and new construction, and divi-
dends. Operating revenues per mile
of line averaged $1,040, a decrease of
O.S per cent. This decrease per mile
is due solely to an increase in mile
age, amounting during the period to
about 1000 miles. Operating expenses
averaged 1892, decrease of S.4 per
cent; net operating revenue per mile
averaged $3OS, an increase of PAL
per cent, while taxes per mile were
$50, a decrease of Sc per cent. Net
operating income was $25S, an in
crease of 31.9 per cent. Railways
operating 22S,S1s miles of line are
covered by this summary, or about 90
per cent of the steam railway mileage
| in the United States.
Total operating revenues of the
eastern railways per mile of line show
an increase of 81 per cent as COM
pared with May, 1914, operating ex-
penses decreased rs per cent, net
operating revenue increased 40.1 per
cent, taxes decreased AS per cent,
and operating income increased SIG

southern railways per mile of line
show a decrease of &C. per cent, oper-
ating expenses decreased 1875 per

The II months of the current fis-
cal year show a decrease in total
operating revenues per mile of line
of 6.S per cent as compared with the
corresponding period of the preced-
ing year, a decrease in operating ex-
penses per mile of 9.5 per cent, an
increase in net operating revenue per

Knitted silk sports coats are not
sweaters. True. they can be used for
many of the purposes for which a
sweater is used, but there Is quite a
difference in the garments. Various
kinds of knitted silk fabrics are used
for the purpose, but, unlike the sweat
er, they are lined. and sometimes
with silk strongly contrasting with
the outer material. Not infreQuently
this silk runs over into cuffs and col
lar. The coats are made along loose
