Next Years Cotton Crop.-C. S.
Webb, cotton merchant, and, incident
ally, mayor Of Greenville, in a news
paper interview urges southern farm
ers to persevere in the policy of last
year in reducing the cotton acreage.
He points out that If the war should
end the demand for cotton used in
the manufacture of tents, uniforms,
explosives, bandages and sundry other
appliances Of warfare will cease and
that the Europeans who consume 65
per cent Of the southern crop, will be
too poor to buy cloth and yarn except
to satisfy their necessities. There is
scarcely a man or a woman who, un-
der the stress of poverty, can not cut
down his consumption Of cloth by half
without suffering actual discomfort.
Mr.. Webb's opinion is manifestly
sound. The reasons to reduce cotton
production are even greater now than
they were a year ago. Had the war
ended at the beginning Of 1915 the
reduction in consuming power Of 400,-
10000 people would have been COM
paratively slight
The danger that southern planters
will throw away the advantage that
they have gained in 1915 by OVERRIDING
the cotton business next year Is very
real.-The Columbia State.

Mother Shipton's Prophecy, Written
f445.-"Carriages without horses shall
go.
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling thoughts shall fly,
Waters shall yet more wonders do,
Now stranger, yet shall be true;
The world upside down shall be
And gold be found at root Of tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse nor ass be at his side:
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green;
Iron in the water shall float
AS easily as wooden boat,
Gold shall be found mid stone
In a land that's now unknown;
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit Jew,
And the world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one."

BOASTS THAT HE SLEW EIGHT.

A tall, well dressed man walked
into the office of District Attorney
Perkins, New York City, Tuesday
and announced himself as the muir.
derer of eight persons.
Il have come to surrender myself
he said to a policeman at the door
Behold, you see before you the slay.

He gave his name as Fred Mors,
aged 35, a graduate of Heidelberg
University, and stated he had been a
nurse in the Odd Fellows Home at
Yonkers. He gave the names of his
victims, and inquiry at the Home
said all names were correct, but that
the deaths were attributed to natural
causes. Mors said he used arsenic,
morphine and chloroform on these
persons while they slept. He was
sent to an asylum where he will be
examined as regards his sanity, and
an investigation will be made at the
Home.

Another Big Rain.

Beginning Saturday after midnight,
snow began falling in this vicinity end
continued until Sunday afternoon when
a rise in temperature caused the snow to
turn to rain. Rain continued to fall dur
ing Sunday night and Monday until late
in the night, the fall at times being heavy.
The temperature Sunday night was low
enough to cause the water to freeze al
most as it fell, and the pavements were
exceedingly slippery. So far as we know
no injuries were received by falling on
the ice.
Tuesday morning the clouds were very
heavy and several showers occurred be-
fore noon.
To many persons this was source of
delight because the proverbial ground
hog was unable to see his shadow, it be-
ing ground hog day. Branches and large
streams We're full and overlooking their
banks, and water found it's way into
many cellars in this place which were
considered immune from dampness.

ONE TREE BRINGS 500.

The government has received 500.
40 in settlement for single sugar
pine tree which was cut in trespass
in the Stanislaus National Forest, in
California, and which yielded more
than enough actual lumber to build
a good-sized suburban farm house.
The tree scaled 19, 933 board feet and
was valued at 1925 per thousand
feet.
Not many trees contain enough
lumber to build a two-foot board walk
nearly two miles long, and this is be-
lieved to be the first case on record
in which single tree felled in Ma
tional Forest was valued at almost
500 on the stump, although Nation
al Forest timber is frequently sold at
considerably higher rates.

Some Spelling Words.

Having occasion to look at some of the
questions recently given to the school
children in their mid-winter examinations
we find marvellous lot of words that the
school authorities expect children of the
seventh grade to spell.
This grade is composed of children from
10 to l6 years of age. 1t only shows the
lack of Judgment in giving words such is
these. The balance of the examinations
were based on like lines, the result being
that the children come home utterly dis
couraged. And we don't blame them.
Here are the words.
Flageolet, antelope, chasten, satellites,
chicanery, supersede, secede, vestige,
osseous, slothful, culprit, harass, insid-
ious, inscrutable, deciduous, be- Gifted,

COYOTES SPREAD HYDROPHOBIl

COYOTES SPREAD III DKOPHOBlA.
The spreading of rabies by infect
ed coyotes among cattle grazing in the
national forests has assumed grave
aspect, according to report received
by the forest service from the district
forester in charge Of the forests in
Washington and Oregon. Numerous
townships in eastern Oregon, it is re-
ported, have ordered that all dogs be
muzzled lest those that have been
bitten by rabid coyotes develop hydro
phobia and attack humans or domes-
tic animals.
Efforts are being made by the state
authorities Of Oregon to stop the
spread of hydrophobia by this means
and officers of the forest service are
cooperating in attempts to kill off
the coyotes. In one county alone a
loss of three hundred head of cattle
is charged to rabid coyotes.

Want Cemetery Records.
Bill, in Equity Filed Against
H. L. Routzhan, of MiddletOwn.
nl.o IS NI,uuoh Enu6

Outcome of Church Feud.
"More trouble for the Lutheran church
at Mddletown, this county, cropped out
last Saturday when bill was filed at the
Clerks Office by the church and Philip
E. Flock, William M. Shelter and jose
plus W. Shafer, constituting the Board
of Managers of the cemetery of the church
against Herman l.. Routzhan. The bill
was filed by Albert S. Brown, as solicitor
for the petitioners.
1.-THE bill recites that the secretary is
required to keep books in which shall be
recorded the meetings and proceedings
of the Board of Managers, and the plat
and plans of the grounds, burial lots, etc.,
also an account Of the sales and transfer
of the lots and the names and owners OF
same; the bylaws, rules, regulations;
the proceeds of the sale of burial lots are
required to be kept in separate fund,
the principal not be used for any purpose
unless to purchase more land for burial
purposes, and then the proceeds from
the sale of such land shall be placed in
said fund, but the interest may be used
for maintaining and improving the
grounds.
1T is further alleged that Herman l..
Routzhan, the defendant, was at one time
duly elected member of the Board OF
Managers, and served az secretary. 1T
is alleged that he has not been member
of the Board for eight or nine years, his
term having expired in September, 1906.
"Mr. Routzhan, it is stated. came into
possession of all the books, plats, accounts
Of sales and transfers of lots, ETC., to-
gether with the name of the owners OF
the same. Repeated requests to deliver
these things have been unne .ded.
because of this it is claimed that Mr..
Shafer is unable to properly perform his
duties.
"The church and it's members, it is
charged, are placed in the ridiculous and
absurd position of being unable to man
age its own affairs and to properly per-
form the functions and duties for which
it was created.
1.-THE plaintiffs therefore ask that Mr..
Routzhan be required to fully disclose by
anitemized account the amount of money;
and where invested, belonging to the
church, which is in his hands or under his
control, or deposited or invested by him
in the name of any other person, firm or
corporation. that has come into his hands
from any former Board of Managers of
the cemetery of the church. The plain
tiffs further ask for information from
the defendant respecting sales of lots
and the disposition of the proceeds. 1t
is also asked that the defendant be re-
quired to deliver all books, papers, plats,
etc. -News.

The Alfalfa Seed Pest.

The alfalfa seed destroyer, known
as the chalcis fly, does its destructive
work in clover or alfalfa seeds, from
the Gulf coast to the northern limits
of the United States, according to the
departments specialist who has per-
sonally seen the widespread devasta.
tons of the pest. By harvesting &C.
verely infested crops, by cleaning
fence lines and ditch banks, and by
winter cultivation the grower OF alfal-
ia seed may help to control this in"
sect. A new Farmers Bulletin (No.
636), entitled THE Chalcis Fly in
Alfalfa Seed" gives the details OF
these methods OF control, and may be
had free of charge OH application to
the department.
The chalcis fly under the micro
scope is formidable looking insect
but when seen in the field it is fire.
aurntly confused with the gnat.
Thesepests may be seen in great num-
bers flying over alfaifa-seed shocks
and swarming over the sickle bar
when the alfalfa is being cut. The
eggs are SO small as to be invisible to
the naked eye and are deposited thro'
the soft, green seed pods directly in
to the soft seeds when the pods are
about half grown. Immediately upon
becoming a fly, the insect eats its
way out through the shells of the in
fected seeds, then through the green
pods. Large portions of the seeds
are followed out in this manner when
they are still green and growing.
The infested seeds which still con-
tain the living larvae Of the insect
may be recognized by their abnorm al
shape and usually by the dull brown
color. Some of the infested seeds,
however, retain their natural color,
but they always lack the glossy APP
pearance of normal seeds. The ex-
tent to which alfalfa seed is.damaged
by the fly is not generally apparent,
owing to the minuteness of the insect
and because its destructive work is
accomplished within the growing
seeds. The alfalfa seed grower can
only estimate the percentage of his
crop destroyed by opening a large
number of the seed pods and observ-
ing the infested seeds.
An alfalfa field is frequently found
with such severe infestation by
chalcis flies that the grower considers
it of insufficient value to be harvest
ed and simply drives in herd OF
cows to pasture the crop. With re-
gard TO the control OF the chalclS lly
for the protection of future seed pro-
duction, this is costly mistake. OBJ
scrvations show that many of the pods
burst open, while Others are trampled
to the ground. Here great numbers
of infested seeds offer favorable con-
ditions for the Information of the
chalcis fly Larvae. These, as mature
flies, will infest the seed crops the fol-
lowing spring. Under such circum-
stances the crop should be moved
removed from the field, and stacked,
1t may then be used as rough fodder,
and if the remaining straw is burned
in early spring the alternating Larvae
will be destroyed.

EXPOSITION Notes.

Straw Hat Day, San Diego's annual
winter celebration of the rema rkable
climate which has made possible the
holding of the Exposition throughout
the year 1915, was celebrated on
February End, when thousands OF
San Diegans in summer clothing and
wearing straw hats paraded through
the streets to the Exposition grounds,
where carnival was held during the
evening and late into the night.
OF all the celebrations held in San
Diego, Straw Hat Day probably at
tracts the most attention from the
easterner who is accustomed to pass
ing the winter months in a steam
heated fiat or wearing warm over
coat to protect him from the icy
winds. Persons living in other dis
tricts along the Pacific coast also find
something unique and attractive in
the mid-winter straw hat festival, for,
although they escape the bitter cold
of more eastern points, they must
contend with winter rains and fogs
which make the straw hat look out
of place.
