Labor Gets a Chance.

Labor having a representative on the
Council of National Defense is not in
accord with the sentiments of a class Of
labOr's opponents, as In the latters
opinion labor gets too much recognition
and is being exalted and given chance
to prove the lie in the opponents con-
tentiOns. The excruciating part of it is
the fact that it is organized labor that
is being given chance to make its case
in the worlds court and there is no
artificial lawyer pleading the case.

Please state when, where and by
whom was the sailing ship William P
Frye sunk. Also what disposition was
made of her cargo.
The William P. Frye was sunk by
the Prinz Eitel Friedrich on Jan. 20,
1915, off the coast of South America.
She carried cargo of wheat, which
was sent 20 the bottom when the
vessel was destroyed. The Frye sailed
from Seattle on the previous Nov. 6.

What is the meaning of "hilitary Ia-
risdiction?"
There are under the constitution three
kinds of military jurisdiction-0ne to
be exercised in both peace and war,
another to be exercised in time of for
eign war without the boundaries of the
United States or in time of rebellion or
civil war within the states or districts
occupied by rebels treated as belliger-
ents and third to be exercised in time
of invasion or Instruction within the
limits of the United States or during
a rebellion within the limits of states
maintaining adhesion to the national
government, when the public danger
requires its exercise.
The first of these may be called iu-
risdiction under military law and is
found in acts of congress, prescribing
rules and articles of war or otherwise
providing for the government of the
national forces; the second may be dis
tinguished as military government, SUI
perseding as far as may be deemed ex-
pedient the local law and exercised by
the military commander under the di-
rection of the president with the ex-
press or implied sanction of congress,
while the third may be denominated
martial law proper.
What was the necessity money" used
in the north in civil war days?
That name was given to a sort of
improvised paper currency that circu-
lated during the early years Of our
civil war when the suspension of specie
payments and the scarcity of subsidi-
airy silver coins caused much incon-
venience. The government did not be-
gin to issue paper fractional currency,
or, as it was sometimes called, postal
currency, until August, 1862. and that
soon gave relief in the way of small
change. Before that, however. an ell
terprising individual of New York.
John Gapt by name, devised plan
for using postage stamps as currency.
The stamps then issued were for 1, 2,
3, 5, up to 30 cents, in different colors.
Gault invented little metallic frame
for the stamps of different denomina-
tons and by covering the face of the
stamp with thin layer of mica made
1t fit for circulation without being
soiled. or course the stamps had to
be purchased from the government at
their face value, but when framed in
this way they made very good sub
stitute for small notes or change.

SOY BEANS IN SOUTH
Cotton Mills Announce Willingness to
Purchase All Of Crop Offered
Them Next Year.

There has been considerable agita.
ton by the Louisiana commissioner Of
agriculture Of late regarding the open
ing there is for enlarged paintings Of
soy beans In this part Of the South,
and cotton oil mills of both Louisiana
and Mississippi have announced their
willingness to purchase at a fair price
all the beans that may be offered
them next year.
That soy beans make good eating for
man as well as beast is a further fact
that is due to widen the market for
the crop. One of the large western
packing houses is now advertising
a new product in Chicago newspapers.
The product is combination of north
ern navy beans and southern soy beans.
Because Of the shortage Of the 1915
navy-bean crop, present market prices
are too high for many Gamers to pack.
The packing company in question,
therefore, turned to other sources of
supply. By combining southern soy
beans with its supply Of navy beans,
the company has been able to keep up
production and compete in new markets
with Gamers affected by the shortage.
No doubt other packing houses, de-
pendent on the success that meets the
introduction Of the above new mixture
of beans, are to similarly fall in line,
and IL they do, 1t will probably be
found that soy beans viii in time take
their place as a standard article of
human diet.

FRIENDS or COTTON GROWERS
Quail is One of Most Valuable Insect
Eating Birds Of Its Size in
the United States.

In a recent address, Col. g. o.
Shields, president of the League of
American Sportsmen, said:
'The cotton growers are suffering a
loss of $1,OO00O0 a year by reason Of
the ravages of the boil weevil. Why2
Because the Quails, the prairie chick
ems, the meadowlarks, and other birds
which were formerly there in millions,
have been swept away by gunners.
The grain growers are losing over
500, 100000 year on account Of the
work of the chinch-bug. They are los
Ing another $2OO0O00OO year on &C
count Of the work Of the Hessian fly.
Both of these are very small insects,
almost microscopic In size. 1t takes
over $4,000 chinch-bugs to weigh one
ounce and nearly $4,000 Hessian flies

q wheat field in Ohio and examined by
q government expert had in its craw
the remains of over 1000 chlnch-bugs

.Another quail taken in Kansas and

merit had in its craw the remains Of
over 1900 Hessian flies that it had

The growing of sudan grass in the
South should be materially increased
as the result of the development during
the past year Of good supply of pure
seed which can be purchased at rea-
sonable prices. The dependable seed
supply was produced as the result Of
the spread Of the culture of the plant
for seed north Of the region where
johnson grass is abundant Much Of
the sudan grass seed available in for
mer years was contaminated by the
seed of Johnson grass owing to the
culture of the two plants in the same
area. The bureau of plant industry has
encouraged the production of seed
where 1t will be free from cOntamina-
ton, and has found that as a result of
the cheapening Of the supply the grow
ing of the grass for hay has already in
creased in many sections.
Furnishes Hay Supply.
The culture of Natal grass, which
was introduced by the department Is
years ago, Is increasing markedly in
Florida. 1t promises to produce all the
hay required in the state and probably
will furnish surplus for use outside
the commonwealth. Culture of the
plant has been urged in conservative
way by the department since it's intro
duction, but it is only within the past
few years that this grass has made the
progress its high merit deserves.
The bureau of plant industry has
prosecuted as vigorously as possible
during the past year the introduction
and breeding Of drought-resistant
strains of alfalfa. An especially prom
Using new strain has been secured from
india which seems to be well adapted
for use In the Southwest. Investiga-
tons to determine the ceuse of "yel-
lowing" of alfalfa and to develop a
practical treatment for this trouble
which Is a serious handicap to the
culture of the crop in many parts of
the East, indicate that the stage Of ma
turity at which the crop is cut has
much to do with the degree to which
the succeeding crop is affected.
The pollination studies of red clover
carried on by the bureau in co-opera-
ton with the experiment stations in
Iowa and Indiana show that cross-pol-
lination is absolutely essential to the
setting of the seed of this plant; that
honeybees are very important as pol
Hnators; and that all the mechanical
methods Of pollination that have been
suggested and tested are of no prac-
IDEAL value. The increased paintings of

FEED CATTLE FOR SHIPMENT
Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Recommends Water Be Withheld
Before Shipping.

In preparing cattle for shipment con-
siderable attention should be given to
feeding so as to lower the shrinkage
as much as possible. The Pennsyl-
vania State college agricultural ex-
pertinent station recommends that
water be withheld from animals be-
fore shipping and that they be fed tim
othy hay and whole oats to prevent
l0oseness during shipping. Under such
treatment cattle will arrive at the

PRIDE IN COLTS AND HORSES
Farmer Can Well Afford to Feed and
Care for Young Animals to At
tract Buyers.

(By w. L. BLIZZARD, Department of
Animal Husbandry. Oklahoma A. and
M. College, Stillwater.l
Every farmer should have pride In
the colts and horses he raises. II the
packer and brewer can afford to pay
fancy prices for flashy geldlngs largely
for advertising purposes, the farmer
can well afford to feed and care for his
young colts in such a way that they
will be attractive to these buyers.
In fact, every farmer should be am
bilious, not only to raise the best
crops, but also to produce the best
stock of all kinds. If he has the best
teams in the neighborhood, they will
