STALK DESTRUCTION
CAMPAIGN IS PLANNED
ALBANY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
INTERESTED IN THIS PROPOSE
TI0N - SUGGESTED BY BOIL
WEEYIL hurley,

ALBANY, Ca. Oct. 10-The direc-
tors Of the Chamber Of Commerce held
an interesting meeting in the Office of
the secretary last night and many
matters of community Importance
were discussed, among which was the
matter of Dougherty county exhibit
at the State fair.
Mr.. c. B. Burley, boil weevil expert
and specialist, appeared before the
body and urged that as an organiza-
ton and as individual citizens WELD
ing more than ordinary influence in
the community, they encourage the
campaign for stalk destruction in this
section. Mr.. Burley stressed the inn
portance of destroying stalks now,
regardless of a few matured bolls
which may still remain. Several stalks
o. cotton with fruit on the top were
shown the directors of the trade body,
and in every one of them we're to be
found punctures made by boil weevils.
Mr. Burley argued that, since there
are no longer any squares for the
weevl to feed upon they are now liv-
ing on such bolls as may be found,
on The stalks, and that the little cotton
which might possibly be made from
these stalks is Of small comparative
value when reckoned beside the dam
age the boil weevii, which may be
starved to death, can do next year.
The directors were impressed with
Mr.. Burleys demonstration and gave
individual assurance of their efforts
to expedite the work of stalk destruc-
ton in this part of the state

position is an epiphenomenon
Thus the clinical data afford no proof
whatever of any pathogenic property
OF uric acid, nor do the results Of
experimental inquiries.
The place of uric acid, therefore,
in the causation of govt is disputed
one. The acceptance of it so firmly
without sufficient proof has not only
blined medical men, but has proved
a source of confidence to the public
in various remedies exploited to com
bat this substance and has thus pre-
vented or delayed the seeking of
proper effective means for treating
the disease. The use OF uric acid
solvents is in certain cases favor
able to the deposit Of uratic crystals,
and moreover the removal of uric
acid from the blood by radium treat
ment did not prevent the return of
attacks of govt not mitigate their
frequency or severity"

AMERICAN STRIKE BREAKING
METHODS USED IN AUSTRALIA

SYDNEY, Australia, Oct. 10.-Amer-
lean rike-breaking methods were
used for the first time in Australia
during the general strike of $4,000
men against the American Taylor
System" which marked the month or
August in New South Wales. But
there was this difference-here it was
done not by &C orporation, but by the
government of the state, and the
strike breakers were volunteers-men
and women-some of whom refused to
accept the pay offered. Rural resi-
dents focked to Sydney by hundreds
and the situation presently became
practically one of the country against
the city
Leaders of the strike were prosecut-
ed BY the national government, head
ed by the acting premier, George w.
Fullr. Some of them are awaiting
trial on charges of conspiracy or Sc
dition. Fifty odd Industrial Workers
Of the World were arrested and most
of them were sent to jail for six
months. This is the extreme penalty
under the Unlawful Associations act
lately passed by the federal parlia,
ment.

Federal Action
Stops Seepage of
Credit to Enemy
Suspicious Transactions
With Spain and Other Neu-
trails Will Be Serutinized

Closer supervision Of exchange oper-
atoms, along with the exercise OF
strcter control of shipments of gold,
bullion and securities, by officials OF
the Treasury Department, in pursu-
ance of the proclamation Of President
Wilson in relation to exports to
neutral nations, is regarded by bank
ers here as a timely move. Provisions
in the enemy trading act now under
discussion by Congress, it is said, have
been anticipated, and from this time
forward there will be less possibility
of Germany obtaining in roundabout
ways money and credit in this country.
Among foreign exchange brokers
there is a deep-seated conviction that
in the past it has been possible for
the Germans to utilize credits on for
eign countries to purchase supplies,
such credits in many instances being
established through the sale Of Ger
man-owned securities in this country.
Nor is any secret made Of the TACT
that the frequent exports of gold to
Spain, made in recent weeks, have
been regarded with suspicion. This
movement, it is pointed out, has con-
tinued despite a balance OF trade
against that country in favor OF the
United States.
The Bank of Spain has endeavored
to check imports Of gold by putting
a discount on the metal big enough
10 rob such transactions of any profit,
but one result of this policy has been
to keep the peseta at such high
premium in this country that banks
have found it possible to make money
by shipping gold and selling pesetas
here against IT, Moreover, England, it
is reported, has been buying heavily
in Spain and has found it to her ad-
vantage to use credits here to pay for
purchases in that country. The result
of these various cross currents has
been to cause a confusion which, ex-
change dealers say, has admirably
served the purposes Of any who may
have been carrying on transactions
with the enemy through agents in
Spain or South American countries.
In a general way, the effect Of the
Presidents proclamation, il is expect
ed, will be to increase further the
premiums which exchanges on nearly
all neutral countries are commanding
here because our exports to them have
not been as large as their exports to
US. With further curtailment in our
exports to them the value of their cur
rency in this country will be enhanced
while the value Of the dollar in those
countries will be deprecated. The sit
uation favors exporters selling goods
to Holland. Spain and other neutral
nations. but is espondingly disad-
vantageous for the importer.

Rritain's Need of Tractors

The farm tractor situation in Eng
land is not in as clearly defined and
satisfactory condition as the food prob
lem would warrant. TIE government.
after vigorously excluding tractors, has
allowed importation Of unlimited num-
bers. Following this is what might
be considered joker, that no supplies OF
gasolene can be furnished to those who
purchase tractors. To this can be add
ed the fact that the government has
Communicated small number OF trac-
tors and is hiring them out at low
rates to farmers requiring them. Inc
result of this is that there is little IN
centive for the farmer TO purchase
tractors, provided he can get his work
done by the government at lower
rate than would be possible were he TO
purchase machines direct. Unquestion-
ably this situation will clarity itself IN

The Farmers Troubles

The dominant thought of interest Is
not agricultural. This week we have
the farmer guessing, and strong gov
eminent is interfering with the farmer
and fixing prices and telling him what
he has to do. The farmer does not see
why he cannot charge all the traffic
will bear! Then the labor troubles,
especially the /. W. W, find the farmer
determined labor shall not dictate what
he shall do on his farm. Grain ele-
vators, sharing in the uncertainty, are
refusing to handle the farmers grain.
The decentralization in livestock prices
continues, and this, coupled with the
high price of corn, has the farmer
guessing. In the meantime livestock is
