Letter Found Indicates Foe Plot
in Jersey Explosion. /
Evidence Tending to Show Destruction
of TINT. Plant at Morgan Was
Not Accident.

Washington, Oct. 9.-That the ex-
plosion i'm the T. A. Gillespie shell
loading plant at Morgan, N. j., may
have been caused by enemy agents
has been discovered by government
operatives in letter predicting the
explosion signed '.Heinie" and adj
dressed to man in Sonora, Mexico.
Agents of the department are inves-
tigating, but they are inclined to ques-
ton the genuineness of the letter,
which was picked up in the railroad
station of New Jersey town.
New York, Oct. S.-Thirty-five bodies
have been taken from the ruins of the
T. A. Gillespie loading plant at Nor
gan, N. j., destroyed by explosions.
The total missing is placed at a. Of
700 buildings in the plant, 1876 were
destroyed. T. A. Gillespie, rejecting
the theory that the initial explosion
occurred in the amotol kettles in the
loading room, expressed belief the dis
aster might have been due to an mad
vertent act of an operator.

IN praise Of Music.

Music adds nothing but good: sub
tracts the evil; multiplies that which
we already have; discounts our all
ments and compounds all of our inter
est. If you believe this is true, "push'
music. Aid the choir, choral and or
chestral societies. Sympathize with
and in every way support public
school music.
"A foreign traveller In our country
said he was deeply impressed with our
silences. He heard no reapers sing
ing in the field, he heard many bird
carol, but no human songs. That re-
minds me of the old saying: blessed
is the man who sings at his work"
Take an interest in creating a must
cal atmosphere in the homes and soon
America will be singing and we shall
be able to take in music not only by
the small channel of the ear, but
through every pore of our bodies
straight to the root of our souls. The
Musician.

PACE THREs

point is to have all strong, vigorous,
well matured pullets housed in their
winter quarters. The reason for this
is so that they may became accustom-
ed to their new quarters and to each
other before they start laying. Nov
ing bird from one place to another has
tendency to stop or retard the early
yield. Early housing means early
laying. Early laying means more
profits and early fall laying means
early spring Matching. 1t is the early
Matched pullet that pays; it is the
early Matched broiler that pays. 1t
is the early housed pullet that lays.
In placing those pullets in their early
winter quarters the last general cul-
ling should be done for the winter In
following the general idea of this
article for period of years will in
crease the profits very materially.
Hatch early, house early, lay early
are the key-notes of success.

flax as is the case with wheat.
However, at the end of the season
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
will have one of the most complete
reports on the number of bushels of
all small grains produced during the
season that has ever been compiled.
Every county in every state of the
union is required to telegraph to the

Der of bushels of wheat threshed in
the county during the proceeding
month and at the end of the season to
report in the number of bushels of

Due to the very favorable season
threshing will be completed in Stearns
county this fall at an earlier date
than for number of years. Twelve
machines have already sent in their
reports on cereals asked for at the end
of the season. During the fall 1876
machines owned in Stearns county
have been in operation and in addition
to this number reports were. received
from nine machines for the month of

Articles of Interest to the Farmers
Edited by p W. Huntmer County Agent Merose Minnesota
The report on wheat threshed

The report on wheat threshed in
Stearns county during the month of
September compiled at the Farm
Bureau office shows 924, 1920 bushels
threshed. All machines operating
within the county are required to
send in reports the first of each month
showing the amount of wheat thresh-
ed for each farmer by their machine.
These reports gives the farmers name
his address, number of bushels of
wheat threshed on his farm and the
number of acres which he had in
wheat. The number of bushels of
wheat threshed in 1917 and also the
number of acres seeded to wheat is
asked for in the same report. When
these reports are completed it gives
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
very exact check on the 1918 wheat
crop and a comparison between the
1918 and 1917 crop.
The acre yield, as shown by the
Sept. wheat reports in Stearns county
is 21.4 bushels. This is a slight in
crease over the acre yield as shown
by the reports sent in during the
month of August. 1t is now safe in
saying that the average acre yield of
wheat in Stearns county for this year
will slightly exceed FL bushels. This
is an increase of over bushels above
the state average for the past 10
years.
The wheat acreage and number of
bushels produced in the county this
season will show considerable in
crease over last years acreage and
production.
At the END of the threshing season
or as soon as "a machine operator
finishes his seasons run he is required
to make out a report giving the num-
Der of bushels of oats, barley, rye,
buckwheat and flax threshed for
every farmer by his machine. These
reports on cereals other than wheat
which must be sent in at the the end
of each threshers season do not ask
for the number of acres devoted to
these crops and consequently the
Farm Bureau office will not be able
to give an accurate acre yield report
on oats, barley, rye, buckwheat and
