Tearney Reassures Local Club.


Howard klove, publicity agent for
the Rock Island Three-Eye Baseball
association, made the following state
ment, with regards to the baseball sit
uation late this afternoon:
81 had a talk with President Tear
ney Of the Three-Eye league over long
distance phone this morning and he
assured me the Rock Island territory
matter was entirely before the mem
bers of the national commission and
that he expected a decision within a
few days.
Il also talked with Frank BURNER,
president of the Waterloo Central as
ISOLATION club over long distance
phone this afternoon, and he stated
that he did not know that a Central
association franchise had been award
ed to Rock Island and said he would
fight this move to the limit. Mr.. Burt
ner also stated that he had letter
from A. A Stube, Marshalltown, mem
Der of the committee which visited
Rock Island, in which he stated that
Marshalltown would oppose the en-
trance of Rock Island into the Central
association, and that Muscatine, Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids and Waterloo
would back them in this fight.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-02-09

was prepared to meet the conditions
named by the board Of arbitration in
its ruling in the Rock Island territorial
dispute He asked Mr.. Sexton merely
to inform Mr. Farrell, who is chairman
of the national board of arbitration,
whether the men whose support he has
been pledged are responsible. Mr.. Sex
ton, as his telegram shows, declares
that they are The names in the list
Mr.. Sexton refuses to divulge, maintain
ing the information should not be made
public by him, as president Of the ma
tional association, until such time as
the situation has been entirely cleared.
Wait on National Commission.
In the meantime official word is
awaited from the national commission
as to whether it is to review the find
Ings Of the national board OF arbltra-
ton in the Rock Island situation, Pres
ident Al Tearney Of the Three-Eye
having filed protest against the rul-
ing with Ban Johnson, member OF
the national commission. Mr.. Justice
claims to have a letter from Garry
Hermann, president Of the national
commission, in which Hermann is
quoted as asserting that the question
had not been taken up by the commits
sion, and giving no intimation that 1t
would.
Justice acted yesterday apparently
L he
fixed by the award by the national
hoard. Had he failed to show Score
tary Farrell that he had organized in
Rock Island the territory would have
reverted to the Three-Eye league.
The local Three-Eye association nat
urally is depending upon the assur-
ances of President Tearney that even
tually he will win his fight for Rock Is
land. The local association has gone
forward with plans for the season,
having sent out contracts to several
plavers. 1t holds lease on Island City
mark and is all in readiness to take
over the franchise that it has been
promised by Mr. Tearney will be de-
livered at the mid-winter meeting OF
the Three-Eye league to be held in Mo-

ICE DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Commodity Which Every Farmer Can
Have by Little Attention to
Storage in Winter.

Ice is a commodity which almos.
every farmer can have during the
summer months if a little attention is
given to the proper methods of stor-
age during severe cold weather.
A common type Of ice house, and
one that seems to give good satisfac-
ton, is pit dug in the ground or on
the side of a slope, covered with a
board roof to keep out the snow and
rain and serve as shade. Straw is
used between the walls of the pit and
the ice. One instance has been OBJ
served where baled straw was used
with good results.
In the construction of any ice house,
whether pit or above ground, the
walls should be properly insulated so
that they will not admit heat from the
outside. Ventilation should be pro
vided for the space above the ice by
an opening at each end near the peak
of the roof

FERTILIZER FOR THE GARDEN
Most Satisfa Glory to Supply Liberal
Quantities of All Elements De-
ficient in Soil.

In a vegeta BILE garden where so many
plants are grown with such varying
plant food requirement, it is entirely
impracticable to attempt to compound
fertilizer formulas suitable for the
various groups of vegetables. 1t 10
far more satisfactory to supply liberal
quantities Of all the fertilizing ele'
ments deficient in the soil. In this way
each plant will be sufficiently supplied
with plant food for full development
says Bulletin 106 of the Georgia sta
ton.
Animal manures Of almost any kind
are good for enriching the garden soil.
In fact, it is quite difficult to main
tain the fertility of a soil so heavily
cropped as vegetable garden unless
there is an available supply of animal
manures of some kind. Horse stable
manure is the most convenient to ap.
ply; and it is very excellent for a gar
den, provided there is not too much
coarse particles of bedding applied
just before the garden is to be planted
Winter is a good time to apply ma
nure to the garden soil. The manure
should be hauled out and spread over
all the garden area that is not occu'
pied with vegetables. Even then the
manure may be strewn along between
the rows of vegetables and allowed to
decompose until the vegetables are
taken off and the sell turned for an
other crop. There is little danger OF
applying too much stable manure to
the garden soil. If the manure is well
decomposed, or if applied and plowed
in a month or two before planting
time, it may be used at the rate OF 20
to 80 tons per acre with beneficial ef'
feet to the crops grown.

PRESERVE THE FENCE POSTS
average Farmer Can Secure Prof't'
able Results by Heating Butts
in Boiling Creosotc.

The question of fence posts is get
ting to be a. serious one. Wooden
posts are mounting in price very rap
Idly and are quite often Of poor quail
lty. Iron and cement posts are COM
ing into use but there are objections
to them because Of cost, weight, diff
Guilty of attaching wire and the crum'
bling of concrete in alkaline soils.
Railroad and telephone companies
using ties and poles, have the same
conditions to coHtend with. They
have reduced expenses a good deal by
the use Of coal tar creosote preserva'
tive, forcing it into the ties and pole
butts by hydraulic pressure in closed
tanks. Such a plant is not available
to the average farmer but he can get
much of the same result by heating
the butts of posts in boiling creosote
for one-ha1f to three or four hours, &C
cording to the species Of the wood,
and then letting the posts cool in the
liquid.
The heat forces part of the air
out Of the wood and as the post cools
the air that is left in the wood con-
tracts and the partial vacuum thus
formed draws the creosote into the
wood for a one-quarter or one-half
inch or more If this cannot be done,
it will pay to paint or dip the butt
of the post, for even this will afford
considerable protection against rot
ting.

GREAT BENEFIT IN ROTATION
Prevents Diseases and Insect Pests
Insects Thrive Only on Certain
Kind Ct Plants.

The successive crops in any rotation
should be so selected and arranged
that no two upon which the same pest
may thrive will be grown in success
sion.
The principles of disease control by
means of crop rotation are based upon
the fact that certain pests can thrive
only on certain kinds of plants.
Therefore, when the crops are
changed and the food supply thereby
cut off, the pests must perish or be
greatly reduced in number.

able to this disease because of it's root
ing habits. The eggs may get into
human food, and persons who allow
dogs to lick their hands and face also
run the risk of getting the eggs Of
the tapeworm in their systems.
Prevention on the farm consists in
so restraining the dog that he cannot
get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera
should be boiled before being fed to
dogs and should never be thrown on
the fields. If not cooked and fed,
viscera and carcasses should be
burned, buried with lime, or so dis
posed Of as not to be accessible TO
dogs. Proper feeding of the dog is
essential, and the owner who does not
feed a dog properly has no right to
keep one.
