by American and Chinese capitalists
who are now negotiatioug for the pur-
chase Of ships, according to an an

meager details of the plans OF the line

said were delaying the actual in

peatedly that he had no intention OF
becoming q monarch.
"China's resources are open to
American capital with little chance
of opposition from any foreign gov

STUDENTS AVAILABLE FOR
WORK ON FRUIT AND TRUCK
FARMS

Upon the close of the New Jersey
State Agricultural College in June,
a number of young men will be avail
able for the summer for work upon
fruit and truck farms. Several of
these young men have had one or
more seasons experience with the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment
Station in the packing of peaches,
while others have had practical ex-
perience upon fruit and truck farms,
some have had only general farm ex-
p%erience, but are DESTROYS of secur-
ing places upon farms during the
summer.
1t is suggested that fruit growers
and truckers, who are likely to be in
need of young men who can pack
fruit, and do other work should COR
respond with the Horticultural at the
Station and get further facts in re-
gard to these young men. There is
a possibility also, that the Station
might be able to give a number of
these young men practical packing
experience at the State Experimental
orchard at Vineland, previously to
the time when they might be engaged
by any fruit growers. Such plans and
arrangements would need to be made
soon, as the students are already MAX
ing plans for the summer.

plants in this country, American man.
ufacturers have taken steps which,
says a report compiled by the forest
service, it is estimated will increase
production of the domestic article by
about 25 per cent. The imported oil
ordinarily forms about IS per cent.
of the total used in the United States,
where creosote is the most important
wood p~reservative.
The statistics gathered show that
wood preserving is one of the most
rapidly advancing industries in the
plants in the United States; in 1914
there were 122 plants of all kinds,
100 being of the pressure-cylinder
type. Ninety-four of these plants
last year used more than 70 million
gallons of c%reosote oil, more than 81
million pounds of dry zinc chloride,
and nearly 2 IL million gallons of
other preservatives, such as coal tar
and crude oil, treating a total of
nearly 160 million cubic feet Of tim
Der, an increase of about 7 million
cubic feet over 1913, and of 35 mil
lion cubic feet over 1912.
The most important are
the large plants in which railroad
ties are treated. The preservatives
materially lengthen the ties period
of service, lessen the labor cost in
volved by renewal, and decrease the
drain upon the forests due to tie-cut-
ting. To some extent the treatment
of fence posts and other forms of
farm timber is being taken up, an
inexpensive apparatus and method
having been devised by the depart
ment of agriculture; but as yet the
use of wood preservatives by farm
ers is on too small a scale to have
