situation and lost no time in order
ing the sampans' shippers TO move at
once. They did so.
The harbormaster today reported
the case to- the customs authorities.
The sampans' numbers were 1872 and

PREPARATION OF SEED BED

Prevent Clods Forming.

All corn land should be plowed
broadcast, even disking before blowing
II time permits. The freshly plowed
ground should be narrowed or disked
while still moist to prevent the forma-
ton Of clods. The depth Of breaking
the soil will depend on the kind Of
soil, time Of year the blowing is done
and the depth to which broken In pre-
vious years. If the soil has been
plowed from two to three inches, 1t is
not advisable to increase the depth
extensively In one year, as that turns
up unweathered subsoil. In arid and
semiarid regions this does not make
any difference, but In Louisiana the
yield Of any crop will be decreased
for several years. The prevention Of
this decrease may be brought about
by blowing little deeper each year.

The Whisky lnsurreetlon.

In the last years of Washington's
administration, the people Of west
ern Pennsylvania started uprisings
against the power of the excise au-
thorities, known at the time as the
whisky insurrection." About the mid
die Of 1870 General Neville, the chief
excise officer, was attacked in his
house and In other places valuable
property was destroyed. There was
a tumultuous meeting of the people at
Washington, Pa, and rally of armed
men at Braddock's field. The upris-
ings were brought to an end through
the vigorous efforts Of James Ross, a
prominent lawyer Of WashingtS-, Pa,
who had been elected few months
before to the United States senate to
fill out the unexplred term of Albert
Gallatin.
