Nearly ninety per cent of the four
million five hundred thousand tons of
fertilizer used by farmers in the
spring season has in the past year
been cOngested in a shipping season
Of just about six to eight weeks
length. The spring shipments of fer

railroad cars. Indications point to
greatly increased demand for fertil-
izers this spring on account of the
higher prices for farm products and
the greater profits for Investments in
fertilizer. Il will be absolutely i'm
possible for the railroads to furnish
that number of cars this spring for
moving the spring fertilizers if they
are congested in such a short period

Woody Whitetly Spreading.

Reports to the University of Florl-
da Experiment Station indicate that
the woody whitchy is spreading IN
certain sections on the East Coast
The damage by this pest is usually
heaviest during the first two years
of infestation. Afterward the chai-
cid, a wasp-like parasite which lee9S
on the larvae, keeps it partly IN
check. But during the first TWO
years spraying should be given to pro-
tect the citrus trees.
]. r. Watson, entomOlogist to the
Station recommends the paratlln OILS
for control. The fungi which prey on
the common citrus whitefy do not con-
troll the woody whitefy. Spraying
should be done in the early stages
of the insect, because the waXy MA,
ments. matted with honeydew ana
various molds, which appear on the
pupae protect them from the spray
One or two sprayings year togetheSI,
with the work of the parasite shouiu
control the insect. NJ. A.,

TREES IN BOOKS.
Probably the Most Curious Collection
of Volumes In the World

Ihere Is perhaps one of the most
curious collections of books in the
world to be found in a small town on
the continent of Europe, says the Lon.
uon llt-Bits. 1t is really botanical
collectlon. OutWardly each volume pre-
SCENTS the appearance of a block of
wood, and that is what it actually is,
but an examination reveals the fact
that 1t is also a complete history of
the particular tree which it represents,
AT the back of the book the bark
mas been removed from a space which
allows the scientific and the common
name of the tree to be placed as title
Tor the book One side Is formed from
the split wood of the tree, showing its
grain and natural fracture. The other
side shows the wood when worked
smooth and varnished One end shows
the grain as left by the saw and the
other the finely polished wood. On
opening the book it is found to con.
tain the fruit, seeds. leaves and other
products of the tree, the moss which
usually grows upon its trunk and the
insects which feed upon the different
parts of the tree. These are supple
mented by a full description of the
tree. In fact, everything which has a
bearing upon that particular tree Sc
cures a place in the collection.

The earlier part of Nictorien Sardou's
career was beset with many trials ana
difficulties. His parents wished him to
take up Il medical career, and he began
his studies with some zeal. The love
of the drama, however, was far greater
than the love of the pill box, and in the
interval Of the other work Sardou was
busy upon play. Life was struggle
for him. for he had little money, though
he managed to get Journalistic work to
supplement his more slender income
His first play was failure, and Sar'

HEATED DUEL AT
 ILLINOIS PRIMARY
Struggle on for Leadership of Delegates to Convention

Chicago, April 11-Illinois voters to- day participated in the second presi- dential primary election held in the state. Election of delegates at large and district delegates to the national conventions and the selection of state central com mitteemen are the ques- t1ons at issue. In Chicago, ward and precinct committeeman are also to be can vote today only on the presiden- tial preference ballot, and as there is but one candidate on each ticket Pres i'd ent Wilson and Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, on the democratic and re- publican tickets, respectively, the wo- men voters have shown little interest in the campaign.
 The contest within the republican party as to the choice of William Hale Thompson or Roy o. West present national committeeman, to head the republican delegates at the convention has created a heated struggle. The republican delegate at large ballot, on which eight are to be chosen, carries the names of nine men. Eight of them have pledged themselves to Sen ator Sherman and one, John May nard Harlan, of Chicago, has made his campaign in favor of Col. Theo- dore Roosevelt.
