Decatur, H., May 22.-Civil war
veterans from all parts of the United
States are arriving here today to
attend the golden jubilee encamrment
of the Illinois Grand Army OF the
Republic which opens here tomorrow.
! This encampment marks the tiftieth
anniversary of the founding of the
G.. A. r., and is particularly note
worthy because it is being held at
the place of the organizations birth.
All the streets and buildings of
Decatur have been decked with flags
in honor of the veterans. In all, 10,-
600 visitors are expected here in the
next few days. The feature of the
encampment will be the grand parade
which will be held Wednesday after
noon. Hundreds of school children
and national guardsmen will partici-
pate. Commander John NJ. Snyder,
Past Commander w. G. Cochran, Past
Commander Robert Mann Woods and
Past w. r. G. Commander Inez ].
Many surviving members of Post
No. /, which was organized in De

to attend the encampment. The sur
viving members are Henry German,

Major benjamin F. Stephenson of
Springfield, H., is credited with hay-
ing first conceived the plan and in
augurated the work of the G. A. X.
He obtained for an assistant ]. w.
Routh, also of Springfield, and the
two drew up a ritual. 1t was then
found that not a single printer in
Springfield had been a soldier. Upon
learning that two Decatur printers,
|. n. Coltrin and Joseph Prior had
served in the war, they went to Le-
catur and had them set the ritual
into type. In return for this CO.
operation it was decided to found the
organization in this city. The build
ing in which the first meeting was
held is yet standing in Decatur.
Following the founding of Post No.
l at Decatur, posts were organized
in nearly every city of prominence
in the northern tier of states.

Dates Por Sowing Wheat
Collapa Park Md Anm

College fafk, ND, Aug. "a.
p The Hessian Fly has caused more or
less severe injury in all parts of the
State the past season. In some cases
it has reduced the crop of wheat from
25 to so per cent. The general in
crease of the pest makes it necessary
for farmers to exercise every care in
preventing, as far as possible. severe
injury another year.
In regard to the pest, Director T.
B. Symons, of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Extension Service, says, "The
insect passes the summer in the wheat
stub. No volunteer wheat should be
allowed to grow during the summer.
Rotation of crops is very beneficial.
On farms where the pest has been
serious, a narrow plat of wheat should
be sowed along one side of the field
about September l to 10, depending
on locality, as bats for the Fly. Later
this can be plowed down.
From observations and records,
and considering the latitude and alti-
tude at the various points. wheat
should not be sowed in the surround
ing country of the following cities and
towns of the State before the dates

Preventing Thresher Fires

The Federal Bureau of Chemistry,
in cooperation with the Federal Office
of Public Roads and Rural Engineer
irg, has been at work on the problem
of reducing the tremendous annual
losses to farmers caused by smut ex-
blossoms in threshing machines.
Under special appropriation the
specialists were investigating dust ex-
plosions in grain elevators when their
attention was drawn to the serious
ness of explosions in threshing ma
chimes in the field. They approached
the problem from three different an
giles and finally hit upon the scheme
of equipping threshers with automatic
fire eXtinguishers.
The experiments proved that the
majority of such explosions were caus-
ed by static sparks generated in the
machine, igniting mixture of air and
smut-sometimes air and fine dust.
Accordingly the investigators con-
structed simple fire eXtinguisher,
such as can be rugged up by any far
mer, and fitted this to the top of a
thresher.
The extinguisher is simply an en-
larged type of the ordinary acid-bi-
carbonate apparatus. 1t is equipped
with a fusible link which, when sub
jected to the heat generated by an
explosion and the consequent heat de-
veloped, melts and releases a hammer

Assistance Requested

To procure the Vital Records of the
Senator and Representatives in
the House of Delegates from Cecil
County $3.50.
A memorial of rare conception is be-
ing carefully planned and worked out
by the Major William Thomas Chap
ter, Daughters of the American Revo-
luton of st. Mary's City. 1t is ac-
tuated by the chivalry, in beautiful
law passed by the Maryland Assem-
bly, of 1839-to erect "Female Semi
nary, to the Birth of the State of
Maryland 1884" to be known as "St:
Mary" Female Seminary" st. Mary's
City.
Acting in accordance with a law,
advising the planting of shade trees
along the States highway. this chap
ter has conceived the idea of an ave-
nue., to be known as "The Avenue of
the Maryland Assembly of 1889" This
avenue leads up to st. Mary's Semi
nary and is to be made a fitting me-
mortal to the man. who gave this liv-
ing monument to the birth of the
State. Each name in the Senate and
the House of Delegates has been pro-
cured. Each county is to have the
allotted space. by order of formation
as county, in the State of Maryland.
Each tree is to be honored by the
name of Senator or Representative
and in the planting thereof, there is to
be much ceremony. For each tree two
minutes is allotted-the Representa-
tive's full name. his birth and death
date given and to whom married.
Therefore. it is earnestly desired that,
through the local press of each county,
assistance in procuring these vital
facts. which will be carefully compiled
in book form and entered into "The
Room" set aside for such records by
the wise Legislation of 1889.
