Negroes Eligible to Election as

East Is Trying to Grab Nj. e.
Temperance Headquarters.

THE colored race can have Its own
bishops" DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
secretary of the NJ. E. Temperance
union, declared today. THE recent
publicity given to the defeat of the
measure providing the negroes with
bishops of their own race is entirely
misleading. The measure was defeat
ed because it was class legislation
pure and simple. There is no reason
why a negro bishop could not be
elected at the general conference at
Saratoga in May and if they can pro-
vide men of sufficient caliber look
for one-or several-to be elected"
The measure providing bishops of
the same race and language known
as the mississippi measure was sent
to all the annual conferences and fall
ed of two-thirds majority by $50.
The vote cast was 1921 in favor or
the measure to 3.4S1 against.

Cooperative Creameries snow
Tremendous Increase III
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at first an
nual convention OF SasKatcne"an
Dairymen's association. reviewed pro
gress of 1915 which shows a great IN
crease in the butter production OF the
co.operatiye creameries amounting 10
100000 lbs. He also said the I'M
provement in quality is shown by the
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter in outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year TO-
tailed 81 carloads.
According to bulletin just issued by
the Manitoba department Of agricul-
ture, the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 1 100000 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease in dairy butter and over $4,000
lbs. increase in the cheese output. The
increase of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, IA lbs.
and 1t brought an average price OF 23c
per lb.; Of creamery butter 5,S39,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
zoe per lb. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726,725 lbs. which sold at
all average price Of 15c-the total
value Of these three products is given
as $2,76O,69S, in addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $925,659
and the cream at $685. 1927, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lb. and Of sweet cream at 32c
per lb. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, Of which the
1915 production amounted to 19O,132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 45,815 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631,005, which is an in
crease Of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement in
the dairy industry. On Feb. IA, 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons Of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta, creamery in 1915
paid it's patrons rate Of 271ac per
lb. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses Of $5,584.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61, III and manu-
featured 256,O00 lbs. butter and $4,000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SK cents.
The development Of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here, which In 1915 pro-
duced 2,525O00 lbs. butter, an increase
Of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.

UMPIRES RESORT TO SIGNALS
Arbiter Behind Plate Is Enabled to
Pass Judgment on Fly Balls
Caught in Outfield.

A few years ago signals between
umpires were practically unknown
This year the system is advanced to
almost the proportions of the baseball
team signals, writes s. e. McCarty,
in Pittsburgh Leader. Umpires must
work in harmony, and often, very
often, one umpire makes a decision on
play that the other umpire has ruled
on. The. umpire at the plate must
rule on whether a ball is caught or
not in the outfield. On a trapped ball
this is difficult. This year the field
umpire has been instructed to nav
particular attention to trapped balls.
He forgets the base runner and gets
as close to the fielder as possible. on
a close play of that kind. He imme-
diately flashes a signal to the umpire
at the plate and the latter makes the
ruling, even though it is possible he
did not see the play, on account of
players running between him and the
ball. In some Of the parks, especially
right field in New York, it is practical
impossible for plate umpire to see
the ball after 1t leaves the bat. A
hit to right field is difficult to Judge.
even from first base, as at times II
looks like it hits into the stands and
b)unces out; other times like It hits
the wall, when in fact, 1t has gone into
the stands. Yet the plate ump,re
must rule on the plays. Plays at third
base are left very largely to the signal
system. too.

pandeIlons VIII Be Popular.

Dandelions will yet become popular
as an article Of diet with the people.
They have always been so abundant
that they have not been appreciated.
Now some eastern canning establish
ments are advertising for dandelions
to can. They are about to put on the
market, as a staple article Of food, to
be had at any time Of the year. II
they are so good for factories to can,
they are also good for the home gar
dener to can. Our schools are now
teaching the science Of canning, which
will be a help in making the dande-
lion green available. One Of the great
advantages in favor Of this vegetable
Is that it is extremely hardy. 1t grows
as far north as the shores Of the Arc
tic ocean. Some Of the seed houses
carry dandelion seed. Anyone, how
ever, can gather his own seed, and 1t
should prove interesting to experiment
along the line Of raising dandelions
from native seed on your rich ground
and under garden conditions.
