company in West Virginia is planning to build S500,00O electric power sta tion. The Pennsylvania Railroad has announced plans for building at Balti- more a coal pier to cost $1 ,000000 and to have capacity for handling coal for coastwise and foreign trade of 5000 tons per day of 10 hours. A Mississippi lumber company will spend about $500,000 to build sawmill with capacity of 100000 feet of lumber per day, to be driven by electric power. New York capitalists have organized a company with capitalization of $450,000 to build at Kingsport, Tenn. plant for manufacturing tanning ex- tracts. A thread mill at Spray, N. C., IS having plans prepared for S500,00O addition to it's plant. A Wheeling (W. Va.) steel and iron company will hold a meeting next week to authorize an issue of $5,000,000 of bonds to be ex- pended in improvements and exten- sions. A West Point (Ga.) mill ex- poets to let contracts next week for enlargements of it's plant to cost about $50O,000. The Southern Power Co.,, of North Carolina, which already has more than S1O,OOO,OOO invested in hy- dro-electric operations in the Caro- linas, has begun construction work on its latest development to generate about 30,OO0 to 50,OOO horsepower.
 These shipbuilding, oil and general industrial operations are indicative of many movements which are taking place throughout the South.

Eradication would, it is said, be faci-
 litated by a greater concentration of authority. At the present time the
 Northeastern Arkansas Tick Eradica-
 tion Association has charge of the northeastern portion of the state, while elsewhere the state experiment station is in control. The Federal authorities therefore are compelled to cooperate
 with two independent bodies whose methods and policies are not always
 identical. Cooperation between all persons concerned is vital to success. The Federal government enforces in- terstate quarantines, but is not per mitted by law to build dipping vats nor to supply dipping materials ex- cept for experimental purposes. The state and county authorities must do this work themselves, and they must also enforce the quarantines on indi- vidual farms whose owners refuse to dip their stock in counties where sys- tematic eradication work has been un- dertaken. The necessity for these quarantines is obvious. No systematic work is undertaken in county unless the majority of the people agree that they wish to make a determined effort to rid themselves of the tick. One obstinate man who refuses to dip his cattle may keep the whole county back

RENTING INDUSTRIAL ACTIVI-
 TIES IN THE SOUTH

Reviewing the business conditions throughout the South with special ref erence to industrial activities, the Manufacturers Record If this week gives the following striking facts:
 With the Newport News Shipbuild- ing X Drydock Co.,, Newport News, Va, the largest shipyard in America having under contract between S20,- 100000 and $25,0OO,000 of work and employing 5500 hands, CT 20 per cent more than last year, and the Maryland Steel Co.,, at Sparrows Point, Md, having under contract nine big steam ships to cost between $4,500,000 and 5OOO0,000 and now employing 2i00 men and expecting to add 300 more shortly, the South is taking a lead ing part in the remarkable revival in shipbuilding in this country, due to the European war. Special reports to the Manufacturers Record show that other shipyards throughout the country are equally as crowded and some have work enough in sight to keep them busy for several years. Even English firms are now nego- tiating to have ships built in this coun- try, SO rushed are foreign yards with naval work. A new shipyard, to be capitalized at about S4,000,000 is be- Ing organized by Eastern shipbuilders Tor Mobile, and plant capable of building ships of considerable size is to be established at Galveston.

Hines, Ala.--"I must confess", says Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, of this place, "that Cardui, the woman's tonic, has done me great deal of good.
 Before commenced using Cardui, would spit up everything l ate. had tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was irregular could hardly drag around, and would have severe headaches con- tinuously.

BREAKING TREATIES

The new seaman's law bids fair to ho q famous piece of legislation before tbe country is through with it. The ;r,mediate effect has been to scare American shipping from the Pacific. The Pacific Mail Company has an- ronnced that it will go out of busi- ness on Nov. 2, just before the law be- comes effective, and the Robert Dollar Company has decided to register it's ships under the Chinese flag. And now the treaty aspects of it are be- ginning to fill the state department with knotty problems.
 The law provides that not only American ships, but all ships sailing from American ports, must have crews that understand the language of the officers, must have a certain un- usual proportion of able seamen and must pay half their crews wages at any time, and that sailors shall not he liable to arrest for desertion. These provisions infringe the rights of about twenty nations, as established by commercial treaties.
 Our state department is now engag- ed in trying to persuade those nations to accept notifications of the parti- cular treaty items involved, without abrogating or changing the treaties in their entirety. If they refuse, then at the end of year all treaties will be null and void-not necessarily be- cause the other nations are unreason- able, but because this country violat- ed them,
 It's troublesome and humiliating business for state department over burdened with war problems and busy emphasizing the sanctity of treaties. It might be better for everybody con cerned-not only for the sake of ouc honorable observance of our interna- tional agreements, but on account of our earnest desire to build up an Am erican merchant marine-if congress itself would do the necessary abrogat- ing, by repeating the law when it as- sembes in the fall.

unless he is compelled to keep his stock at home.
 At the end of 1914 there were 200 dipping vats in operation in Arkansas a number which compares somewhat unfavorably with the 2,352 in Miss issippi, but which, is considerably greater than the number in several other states. Systematic cooperative work was done during the year in Mar ion, Baxter, Izard, Shaw, Indepen- dence, Cross and Woodruff counties. In March 1915, Izard and Sharp coun- ties were freed while educational and demonstration work is being carried on in Crawford, Franklin, and Searcy counties. It appears from the above that Arkansas is alive to the great

l-3 OF ARKANSAS
 FREED FROM TICKS
With Cooperation and Adequate Funds the Work May Be Completed in Two or Three Iears-lm-
 possible Estimate Cost.

Washington, D. C., June 26.-Very nearly one-third of the state of Ark ansas is now free from ticks and the entire state, it is estimate, can be re- leased from quarantine in two or thre years if adequate funds are forthcom- ing. At the end of 1914, 251 ,279 had been spent on the work of eradication of which $1774,102 had been expended by the Federal government, $76,293 by the State and $S84 by the various counties benefited. It is impossible, however, to estimate from these fig ures the cost of completing the task, for the results of educational work are not immediately apparent in the release of territory. As the following table shows, however, the people of Arkansas have entered into the work with enthusiasm almost from the first, and progress has been steady

loss that it has suffered in previous years from the cattle tick. In 1910, the census stated that in round num- bers there were 15 million cattle be- low the Texas fever quarantine line as it then existed, and that these cat tie represented something more than 270 million dollars. At that time the loss from Texas fever was approxi- mately 13 per cent, or trife over Is of the total number of cattle. Thirty four million dollars, therefore, was lost annually in the quarantine area through deaths alone. This takes no account of the losses through shrink age in milk, discrimination in markets stunted growth, and other sources of waste and loss

AFTER THE RAIN

The moist winds come with greetings
 strangely sweet To breathe their cooling fragrance on
 my face. And seem to fold me in their soft em-
 brace As some old friend they long had
 yearned to meet. With new-found life all natures pulses
 beat, The hour of gloom has passed and left
 no trace, Save where glistenmg drop remains
 to grace, With liquid pearl, the grasses at my
 feet. And from my heart there comes a
 whisper low: These drops that lie, burden on the
 leaves, Are gems for me that deck the grate-
 ful sod; So, when the tears of anguish cease
 to flow, Those cares for which the patient
 mourner grieVes, Are jewelled crowns that make her
 dear to God. From "Poems for Loyal Hearts,"
 By Rev. William Livingston.

 A successful demonstration of the canning of peas by means of a steam pressure canner was given recently by Mrs. T. P. Marshall, United States demonstration agent of Dallas county, at her home, Willowbrook Farm. About 15 women saw the demonstra- tion. some making a trip of 30 miles for the purpose. Three of her visitors were men. Mrs. Marshall is epthus- iastic over the method of canning she is now employing. She says it is not only a much quicker process, but also great deal safer.

NEW TOMATO ROT.
The Cause of Serious Losses to South ern Tomato Growers Found to be New Fungus Disease.

al ANCM I uuS tJiStdSc-
 Many carloads of Florida tomatoes have been injured or destroyed during the last few months by "black rot" or "black speck" disease which has been more prevalent this season than heretofore, although known to have occurred in that State to some extent for three or four years. It is re- ported from some sections that the losses in the fields amounted to 30 per cent and that some large fields were so completely infected as to be almost worthless. In addition to the field losses, tomatoes packed and shipped in an apparently sound con- dition develop the rot in transit and reach their destination in such condi- tion that they can not be sold as first class stock. A Denver commission house writes that practically every car that has arrived in Denver this year has shown this disease to quite an extent. A Canadian Government inspector reports cars arriving quite ruined.
 The department has completed and published technical study of this tru- ble, extending over three years. It finds that the disease, which will be called the Phoma rot, is new and not to be confused with other tomato rots. The fungus causing it IS a parasite belonging to a genus which includes several serious fruit and tuber rots and stem hlights of other crops, but this particular species appears to oc- cur mainly on tomatoes, though un- der certain conditions it may attack potatoes. It occurs in the fields, caus- ing black specks on the leaves, stems, and fruit. The fruit spots enlarge and become very black, with pin-point- like pustules filled with spores. Both green and ripe tomatoes are affected, most of the spots usually appearing at the stem end. An important point out by this study is that the fungus seems to be unable to attack unmu- tilated fruit. Some injury, either by insects, bruises, or natural cracks, must be present to permit infection. It is probable that in many instances where there is little or no field infec- tion the tomatoes become injured dur ing harvesting or packing and are in fected in the packing houses. It is probable that in many instances where there is little or no field infection the tomatoes become injured during har- vesting or packing and are infected in the packing houses. It is likely that ty more careful handling and the prompt destruction of all infected material the loss during shipment can be reduct | The disease will not de velop at temperature of IA per cent or lower.
