WATCHING CLOSELY
NEGRO MIGRATION
Officers Believe Colored Workers
Are Moving to Doubtful
States to Aid Voting.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Both the de-
partment of justice and the depart
ment of labor are watching closely
the migration of southern negroes to
northern industrial centers. The legal
officers hope to check a special in.
quiry into complaint that negroes are
being sent in considerable numbers
to doubtful states, under promises to
work at higher wages. District At.
torney Miller at Louisville has been
ordered to report the names, towns
and destinations of all negroes or any
other possible voters going from Ken
lucky, Alabama, or any other part of
the south, passing through Louisville
in suspicious numbers. Other dis.
trict attorneys in the south and in
the middlestates are understood to be
under similar instructions.
The American Federation of Labor.
according to Secretary Frank Morri-
son, also is watching the movement
of negroes, with the idea that IF it is
not a scheme to get votes, it is for
the purpose Of securing cheaper labor
than is available at present"

Republican Leader Asserts That
America Is Far From Being

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 27.-Charles
E. Hughes tonight replied to state
ments in President Wilson's speech
concerning preparations to meet com
petition after the war;
Mr.. Hughes told the audience here
that the administration views 70.
minded him of its views on prepared
ness in December, 1914, which were
afterwards changed, that he consid'
cred the anti-dumping provision OF
the revenue bill, intended to meet
the situation, as "farcical" and "worse
than useless" to protect American
workmen; and that even if the per-
centage of exports of commodities to
supply armies was small. it required
but very little Ito contract or destroy
the prosperity of the country"
The nominee addressed an audience
that cheered him repeatedly. He told
them that as he had been, while gov
ernor of New York, he was now, and
should be in the future; that he was
willing to stand or fall by what he
believed to be right.
1T was said in December, 1914"
Mr.. Hughes asserted, that America
was ready; that any suggestion to the
contrary was thoughtless, but in truth
America was far from ready. 1t is
now said with reference to the com.
mercial rivalry that America is far
from ready, and that we shall not be
ready until we have clearer notion
of what we may expect"

October 22 for New York with 265
passengers on board, was headed for
Fayal, the Azores, with fire in her

Officials of the French line said
they had received no direct word from

French line officials here said, lead
them to believe that the fire is not
serious and the passengers on board

The day the Chicago sailed, the line
here was advised she had 167 cabin

PRICE OF CORN SAILS

Chicago, Oct. 27.-1n surprising

Reports of sharp naval encounter
in the English channel seemed at one
time likely to put a stop to the up.

the market proved to be merely tran.
sient. When the closing gong clear
ed the pit, the ascent was still in
progress and showed, in some cases
at last. a jump of Sasc from the low
points of yesterday.
All records in the nearly fifty years
for high prices of corn we're smashed
today, No. Yellow selling here at
$1.10 bushel. This price has not
been surpassed since 1867, when the
apex was SLIP. The strength of
wheat was mainly responsible for the
upturn in corn, but there was also a
falling off in country offerings. Oats
moved up with other cereals, although
shipments east are restricted by the
inability of railroads to furnish cars.
Provisions mounted to a higher lev
ell than has been equaled as far back
as 1870. Packing interests were act
i've buyers and there was a notable
scarcity of offerings, especially Of

TREATMENT FOR ACID SOILS
Numerous 0uarrIes Throughout Coun.
try Afford Plentiful Supply Of
Ground Limestone.

Farmers who are troubled with acid
soils will do well to get copy OF
bulletin 400 published by the New
York experiment station at Geneva.
While the material in this publication
refers especially to land Ia New York,
much of it is applicable to farms in
other parts of the country.
Because of the numerous Quarries
throughout the country, ground lime
stone can be obtained OF reasonable
price and should be used in prefer
ence to quicklime which often injuries
the land because of its caustic prop
critics.
The following quotations show the
value of ground limestone compared
to other farms:
Speaking generally, a ton Of ground
limestone, 1900 pounds of hydrated
lime, or 1900 pounds of burned lime
contain the same amount of soil sweet
ening chemicals"
"Air-slaked lime. when the process
is fully complete, is the same in
chemical composition as ground lime.
stone, as 1t has taken from the air
the carbon dioxide driven from the
limestone by burning, and has again
become lime carbonate. 1t is of equal
value with ground limestone from the
same quarry, and of no greater value
unless fineness be financially worth
while"
mari is also lime carbonate and
equal to ground limestone in value If
of similar purity"

PHILADELPHIA, PA.

A motor-driven machine for clean
ing and grading fruit, that has just
been brought out in Oregon, Is ca
pable of handling apples, peaches,
pears, oranges and lemons, and of dis
tributing them into ten grades at the
rate of over 1900 pieces an hour.
The fruit is first fed into the cleaner,
where it is thoroughly cleaned by
revolving brushes made Of hog bris-
ties, and from this machine 1t passes
automatically to the grader. The
grader is built In circular form and
occupies space about thirteen feet
in diameter, the outer part consisting
of a sloping table which is divided
radially into bins for receiving the
different sizes of fruit as 1t is graded
The center of the machine is occupied
by revolving plate, on which are "a

Of the cup is controlled by two cam
rails in such way that 1t gradually
widens as the cup swings round the

bin this opening becomes large enough
to allow the fruit to drop. The cups
and other parts of the machine with

MAIN CAUSE OF BEE LOSSES
Weakening Of Colonies During Winter
Season Due to Lack Of Protection
From Severe Weather,

Uncle Sans bee sharps, az q re-
suit of experiments, are now contend
ing that there need not be the COM
mon losses and weakening of bee col
onies during the winter season. Lack
of sufficient insulation to protect the
bees from prolonged cold and sudden
changes Of temperature is the main
cause of bee losses.
Many experiments conducted by the
experts show that sufficient insulation
of the hives is hardly ever supplied,
and that too much protection of this
kind is almost impossible, providing
ventilation is furnished so that the
bees will always be insured fresh air.
The kind of insulating material is
unimportant-chaff, shavings, dry
leaves. paper, broken cork, and saw
dust each answer the purpose well.
The insulation layer should be made
from six to twelve inches thick, ac-
cording to the severity Of the climate.
> One insulation plan that has worked
well in the latitude of the middle
states is the following: Three inches
of chaff. dry leaves, or the like was
placed beneath the hives, eight inches
on the sides and ends, and twelve
inches on top. An opening eight inches
wide and three-eighths inches high
was constructed like tunRel through
the packing to the entrance This
was found to furnish abundant and
proper ventilation.
Protection from the chilling effects
of strong. cold wind was found to be
an important safeguard even when the
hives were well insulated.
Proper protection by means of gen.
erous insulation of the hives has
shown that the winter losses of bees
need not exceed one per cent when
the bees are free from any. contagious
disease.
