Market Bureau Proposed
By Commissioner Diner.

The addition to the State
Department OF Agriculture Of
a market bureau designed tc
keep accurate tab on the coun-
try's markets and to keep the
growers OF Virginia informed
as to the prices of commodities
and the best place to dispose
of them. will be urged by Com
missioner George w. Koiner,
when the next Legislature as
sembles.
Thirteen States have a bu-
reau of this character in their
department of Agriculture, >
said Commissioner Koiner,
discussing the matter yester-
day, in every case they per-
formed a valuable service for
the farmers Of their State.
The reports of the National
Department Of Agriculture
show that the farmer receives
for his product less than halt
the price that is paid tor them
by the, ultimate consumer.
This state OF affairs exists
largely because the farmer
permits it. He takes what the
other fellow offers and pays
what the other fellow asks.
1t is not entirely the farm
er's fault. however. He is is
tlated and finds it difficult to
keep informed as to the Local
tlons and conditions of mar
kets requiring his kind OF pro-
ducts. He needs the co oper-
otion of the State Department
of Agriculture in this matter
as in all other matters affect
ing his work. More than any
other citizen of the State, the
farmer suffers from the over
abundance of products on GER
tain days, followed by dearth
OF supply on others The
loose adjustment of supply and
demand harms all parties con-
cerned, and some intelligent
system should be devised
which would help the farmer
to get his proper share OF the
value of his crops by reducing
gluts in the market and mimi
mining periods OF great scare
fty.
We shall ask the General
Assembly to make an appro-
priation to the Department OF
Agriculture to enable us to es-
fablish a market bureau for
the purpose Of gathering and
disseminating the information
referred to.
A concrete instance in which
such a bureau was Of great
service, was reported recent
~. In ehis case a wholesale
house was importing. beans
from a distant State, paying a
high freight rate. In the same
State in which the wholesale
house was located, however,
was a section where the farm
were growing large quantities
OF beans and we're not able to
Ind a market.
The market bureau became
acquainted with the facts and
speedily brought the buyers
and sellers in touch with one
another. The result was that
the wholesale house gave the
farmers halt of the cost of the
freight haul in addition to the
price paid by them for beans
in the distant State. and all
parties were benefited as well
as the State.
Mr.. Koiner had not worked
out yesterday the full plan I'm.
der which the proposed mar
ket bureau would operate
The Office would require, first
OF all. capable head, familiar
with the general problem OF
collecting and disseminating
market Information. The in

How To GKow CORN
Apply with a lime spreader
about 500 lbs. of finely ground
81 per cent Phosphoric acid
Rock Phosphate to the soil.
This should be on clover sod
if possible or fully grown blue
grass sod. 1t will assist if this
Phosphate is discked in before
blowing with a disc harrow.
Then pIow for corn in the usu-
al way, and plant the corn in
the usual way. Some people
plant it AZ inches apart, and
leave two stalks in one bill
and three In the next. 1t
would be better to say that
this corn will not be made to
grow much taller, and the
stalks will not be helped much,
but when caring time comes
phosphorus will grow large
ears and mature 1t before frost
Genes. and it will be better
matured corn than it would
have been if the phosphate had
not been put on. 1t will be
necessary to measure the land
and weigh the corn to detect
the 10 Blu. per acre increase if
the proper kind of seed are
used and this amount Of phos-
plate has been plowed down
1t will increase the yield of
corn and benefit the land If
J on sow about tons OF finely
ground lime stone on the land
before narrowing the second
time. This lime stone can be
sowed after the corn is planted.
This lime stone will also assist
in putting land back into any
kind of clover or grasses in
GLIDING alfalfa. The usual
way Of farming IS to use a
wheat drill and drill about
la bushels OF good wheat
seed in the corn stubble, and
in this way you will increase
the wheat crop about IS Blu.
per acre, and still a stand of
clover and grass can be had in
this wheat by sowing timothy
in the fall and clover in April.
This land will be level enough
! to admit of going back to grass
if the corn has been properly
cultivated. and not plow' j too
deep The corn stalks can be
knocked Oft with a steel rail, a
pole or hoe. The 100 Blu.

the reader will observe that
there will still be phosphorus
left for permanent improve
ment. Phosphate acts best
when plowed down, and when
kept pIowed down.

Washington, April 14.-Representa-

the OrganiZa ton of Mexican sisal
planters, financed by American CAPT
tai, which controls Yucatans supply
of binder Irvine raw material, inform
ed a senate Investigating committee
today that they had on hand $4,000
bales of sisal and proposed that the
committee supervise the sale Of the
entire amount.
This action followed charges and
counter charges by the agent of the
commission and of the International
Harvester company, and suggestions
that the American farmer was facing
a serious shortage of Irvine. The COM
mittee adjourned for the day without
considering the proposal. Chairman
Rainsdell said he could not say what
would be done with it.

DISEASE HITS PINE
Blister Rust Threatens Big
Economic Loss.
Recent Outbreaks in Eastern States
Lead Federal Authorities to Issue
Warning-Comes in on I'm.
norfed Stock =

Washington, D. C.-The alarming
character of the white pine blister
rust and the economic loss which it
threatens in the northeastern and
western United States are sharply EN-.
phasized by four recent serious out.
breaks on pine trees and currant
bushes in Massachusetts and New
York, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. This disease
was introduced on imported white
pine nursery stock and first appeared
at Geneva, N. Y, in 1906.
In 1909 extensive importations OF
diseased white pine nursery stock
were located and destroyed in New
York and other eastern states, and
warnings were issued broadcast
against further importation of white
pine from Europe. In spite Of these
warnings importation continued even
from the particular nursery in Ger.
mary which was definitely known to
be the main source of disease, until
finally in 1912 all such Importation
was stopped by federal action.
The white pine blister rust affects
the eastern white pine, the western
white pine, the sugar pine and indeed
all of the so-called five-leaf pines, pro.
ducing cankers on the stems and
branches, killing young trees and
manning and distiguring old ones. 1t
also produces a leaf disease of cur.
rant and gooseberry bushes. The fun.
gus causing the disease must live for
q part of it's life on pine trees and
part Of its life on currants and goose.
berries. The disease cannot spread
from one pine tree to another, but
must pass first to currant bushes and
then back to pine.
In Europe the disease has made the
culture of American white pine i'm
practicable in England, Denmark and
Holland, and has seriously handi
capped it's cultivation in Germany
Since the trees which it attacks in.

timber trees of the United States, the
loss which this disease will produce

nately the disease is not now known
to be present west of Buffalo, N. "
but if it is not checked in the
eastern states it's ultimate spread to
the vast forests Of the Rocky noun
tains and the Pacific coast is certain.
The disease now occurs in three To-
calities in New Hampshire, two in
Vermont, ten in Massachusetts, two
in Connecticut, five in New York, one
in Pennsylvania and three in Ontario,
Canada.
The disease could be controlled now
by the destruction Of the diseased
white pines or the complete destruc.

trees. Whether or not this simple &C.

miles in four hours and 20 minutes.
Gen. Gomez was at Aqua Prleta,
where he said that he was waiting
orders to join in the pursuit Of Villa,
but some anxiety had been aroused
here by the despatch few days ago
of a force in the direction OF the
American lines Of communication. The
search for that and other forces will
be continued.
Battling Mystery.
The mystery over what really hap.
pened at Parral became more bafflirg
than ever tonight, due to the amazing
variety Of conflicting reports, which
poured into Ell Paso from many points.
The most plausible explanation was
offered in an account Of the affair
brought here today by an American
from Chihuahua City. This man said
can soldiers were sent in to Parral by
Major Tomkins to make arrange
ments for the purchase Of supplies.
Aroused People.
Their presence aroused the people
of the city who had already been agi.
tated by reports that the advancing
American troops were going to take
possession Of the town.
The two. soldiers were surrounded
by an angry mob and some. shots were
fired, which; killed one of them.3 THE
mob then poured out in the direction
of the main body Of the Americans
and some indiscriminate fighting took
place in which number of MeXicans
were wounded.
Gen. Gavira said tonight that he
had received no reports to indicate
the Parral incident had infamed tic
people over which he Is in command.
1T must be remembered that Par
raj was one of Villas strongholds, and
contained many Villistas,' Gavira con-
tinued. when the Americans appear
ed it would have been an easy matter
for these Villistas to make the ignor-
ant believe that the Americans in
tended to capture and hold their town.
This evidently happened
Arrivals here from Mexico report

ularly around Torreon, to be grave.
There has been no planting and the
poorer classes are near starvation in
many localities. One incident de-
scribed was that several emacated
women and children followed wagons
loaded with corn, covertly reaching
into the sacks whenever possible and
extracting a few grains. This was
their only food, the American said,

MANS STRENGTH A FICTION
In Reality He Has Weaker constitu-
tion and Is Less Resistant to
Enemies of Life.

It is customary to speak Of man as
stronger than woman. though this is
half true, half false; for although he is
stronger of frame and muscle and
more active he is Of a markedly weaker
constitution, less resistant to the enc
mics of life. And this difference
seems native and intrinsic. not due to
externals or to the chance arrange
mentS Of society; for already in in
fancy the man-child is more open to
the attack Of mortal disease. Where
100 girl babies die in the first year Of
life, our census shows that there die
about 130 boys.
In the sense organs there is differ
ence closer to what we know of mind.
and which is not wholly in accord with
the common thought that women are
more sensitive than men. They are
more delicate Of touch, and can per-
ceive certain tastes notably sweet, at
a low degree that escapes the man, al
though for salt and sour and bitter, as
we'll as for smell in general the evi-
dence is not so clear. In Miss Nelson's
experiments in California, says George
Malcolm Stratton in the Century, the
men were able to hear fainter tones.
and for all but one Of several pure COL
ors of the spectrum the men, contrary
to the popular belief, detected the color
at a lower intensity than did the
women.
But besides this difference in the
senses when they are normal, serious
defects OF eye and ear come far more
often to the man and to the man-child.
Color blindness, which is usually in
nate and is therefore not to be ascribed
to the manner in which man lives and
works, is about tenfold more frequent
among men than among women. Blind
ness pure and simple is also more fire.
Quent among men.
Of the number reported totally blind
in our country, about 10000 are male
and $500 are female. AS proof that
this great excess Of the male blind is
not due entirely to the greater danger
in mems work, there is great excess
of males among those blind at birth.
The most serious defects Of hearing
also occur oftener among men; for Of
those reported in our census as totally
deaf there are thousands more males
than there are females.

Retaining the Sword.

The Turks allowed General IoWn-
shend to retain his sword-the same
honor which the Russians paid to Sir
William Fenwick Williams when he
was compelled to surrender at kars.
The cust..> is not uncommon in mod
iern history. When Lord Methuen was
captured by La'Grey, his sword was
given back to IN and he was re-
leased. The Spanish Admiral Cervera,
who surrendered with no boots and
very few clothes on, had managed TO
bring his sword on board Capt. Bob
Evans ship, and he was allowed to
carry it to a cabin that had been al
Ilotted to him. General Stoessel at
Port Arthur kept his sword, and at Ap-
pomattox Court House General Grant
allowed General Lee to retain his
weapon. When Napoleon III. surren-
Idered at Sedan, Bismarck taunted him
with the question, But tell me, your
majesty, whose sword is this? Is it
the sword Of France or your own
tsword?"
