FARM AGENT REPORTS

Mr.. A. L. Ford Extension Entomolo-
gist from the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College and County Agent E. j.
Willis spent Tuesday examining a
number of wheat fields in Cherokee
County for Hessian Fly. The fly is
in the "flax seed stage" now and can
be found under the leaf sheath of the
wheat tiller at the surface Of the
ground.
Three per cent infestation was the
highest found in any field examined
and this can be reduced by plowing
under the wheat stubble as soon as
possible and keeping down all volun'
teer wheat. The better seed bed re-
sulting from this practice will also
materially increase the yield. The fact
that there are but few fly present will
be good news to the farmers who are
anxious to SOW early.
The grasshoppers are more numer-
GUS this year than usual and may
cause some damage to early sown
wheat. They can be controlled how
ever by using the Bran Mash Poison.
Directions can be obtained for its use
from the County Agent.
E. J. Willis, County Agent,
Cherokee County Farm Bureau.

like Galena they were given tre-
mendOus hand by the Baxter folks.
The G. A. r. was not largely re-
/ presented, but II was ably represented.
The old warriors had a part in the
parade that would have loomed up
mighty vacant without them-both in
spirit and in fact.
Now speaking Of the Baxter Home
Guards-well, you know our senti-'
ments on this bunch. We have often
expressed them and we are going 10
save some Of it for another issue.
Someway words fall a little short Of
what we want to express about this
bunch.
Splendid stuff-this mingling Of the
people of three towns and a fine spirit
throughout. Baxter is much indebted
TO Columbus and Galena for the show
and the Home Guards say they will
return the favor at the first opportun-
ity. Three cheers for the Home
Guards of Cherokee county,
The Guards following the parade,
were marshalled "at attention" on
Military street to hear q speech by
Adjutant General Chas Huffman.
The General gave some good informa-
tion relative to the Guard organiza-
tions Of the state and fairly oudid his
ability TO compliment the Cherokee
county bunch. There are over 100
companies in the state now numbering
more than 10000 men, according to
Mr.. Huffman. The General was CIV
en- liberal applause by the Baxter
Guards.
Following the speech the Guards
were turned loose on the carnival
grounds and We'd with each other in
having a good time.
The streets were covered with con-
fetti and the amount of cold drinks
dispensed by the Red Cross ladies for
the Home Guards might not have been
enough to float the Titantic-but it
was some little lake of thirst quench-
ing beverages.
Figures on the amount cleared will
be given out later when the nickles
and dimes are all counted. This will

CAMPBELL GIVES OPINION
ON GOODEAGLE PROPERTY
Congressman From This District on Indian
Committee Says Federal Agent Ex-
ceeding His Jurisdiction.

Phil C. Campbell was in Baxter
Springs Friday. While here Mr.
Campbell, it is said, made known that
he has been appointed on the special
Indian committee for this district and
Is looking into the matter of the
Goodeagle property. What little in
formation is vouschafed on the mat
ter it is said that Mr.. Campbell de-
clared in no uncertain statements that
the Indian agents and the federal
authorities had exceeded their author
ity on the whole matter. Mr.. Camp
bell, according to local men, said that
Judge E. f. Sapp was right and that
the matter is in q good way to be
cleared up.
The Daily Citizen is not in a posi-
tion to print everything relative to
this matter we would like to print
partly from lack Of information and
partly from its being a very ticklish
subject.

THINKS ZINC MAR.
KET MANIPULATED

A prominent mining man, speaking
of the present condition Of the zinc
market, recently expressed the belief
that the ore prices are being manipu-
lated by the big interests for the pur-
pose Of freezing out the small produc-
ers and securing a monopoly of the
business even more complete than
they now have. This man declares
that while ore prices are way down
and still declining, the price of sheet
zinc is SO high as TO prohibit its use.
He believes that the whole matter
should be taken before the govern
ment with q view to getting a price
fixed for the producer that would be
stable and fair. The government, he
thinks, should also regulate the SELL
ing price of the finished product.
Stripped Of their power to manipu-
late prices the big smelling interests
would not be able longer to enforce
idleness in the mining district. This
mining man expressed the belief that
the recent convention Of zinc men in
st. Louis was pulled off by the big in
terests for the express purpose, of
binding the eyes of the small produc-
ers to the real situation. This is 4
matter for the mining interests of the
zinc field to investigate thoroughly.

MEAT EATING
By ]. M. Smither


The vegetarian,
Hath but in vain proclaimed,
That he was sore ashamed
OF man for eating meat.
That soon or late would come
A war when blood would run
The sense Of man to stun
His thirst for blood to slake.
They say that if a man,
His nature would refine,
And live the life divine,
He mustn't taste Of meat.
But this to undergo,
Denial doth require
To wake the holy fire
Within the human breast.
And if we do it not,
Well keep our temper hot,
Until our lessons got,
And we've our fault confessed.
The way they say to cure,
This habit that US warps,
Just "call the savings corpse"
And none will want a bite.
Now,
If this is cure for war
The thing that we abhor
And wonder what it's for,
Let's cop it over night.

Just at the time when the city is In
need of q big hotel, as the Goodeagle
hotel was planned to be, the govern
ment has stepped in and is handling
the whole matter with Characteristic
slowness. OF course, the town at
large is not greatly interested in any
thing but the opening Of the property
for business.
Mr.. Campbell is againt running for
the nomination for Congressman In
this district. He was here with Judge
f. +. Sapp, of Galena. Mr.. Camp
bell hinted that if nothing is done I

Quoted soon. The interior department
does not seem to be making any head

Baxter Springs would welcome some-
thing that would bring about the re-
lease of the hotel property from the
restraining hands of the government.
At the present time there is a court
aston pending. Judge Sapp is attor-
ney for the parties that are opposing

The Santa Fe Mining Company has
been running its big s0O-tOn mill in
the Hockerville field about eight hours
q day for several weeks, as It is not
possible to get out the dirt at present
to supply the plant to its capacity.
Last week four car loads Of concen-
trates were made, all Of which was
high in assay but from the fact that
It carried trifle too much lead copld
not get into the high grade class. The
last sold showed an assay Of 62.7o
and went into premium B grade, but
Superintendent Davidson says that In
separating the sludge from the other
ore he can eliminate the trouble and
sell high grade almost exclusively.
The Santa Fe management Is mining
on two levels from three shafts and
in q short time It is believed that the
plant will be running on two shifts.

The Lucky Jennie Mining Company
began building their new mill in the
south part of the city of Hockerville
Saturday. The piers are being built
and the work of tearing down the mill
in the old field and moving to this one
was begun. The work of building will
be pushed with all possible haste as
the contract calls for it to run at an
early date and the ground has been
opened to run the plant to capacity.
The Lucky Jennie is one of the very
rich propositions Of the field and on
account of the beauty of the specimens
Of ore coming from the ground there,
visitors to that section of the field are
taken there for specimens as souven-
irs. The mine was, in the early days
Of the field, called the Blue Jennie,
but when an especially lucky find was
made the name was changed to the
Lucky Jennie. George Sullivan OF
Miami is experimenting the building
Of the plant.

According to Superintendent w. A.
johnson Of the Burnham lease, mid
way between Tiger No. 1 and the
BrOomcorn, on the Oklahoma side a
solid face Of lead has been struck in
the shaft which may prove to be re-
cord breaker. The lead was entered
at PAL feet, and at 246 feet the limit
was not reached. Drill records indi-
cate q very large face Of almost pure
lead. The Burnham lease is owned
by wealthy Ardmore men, some Of
them owners in Tiger Nos. 1 and 2,
with other valuable holdings in the
field. w. F. Warren, and Charles Won
Weiss, are trustees Of the property.
Samples of the lead will be assayed
for silver, many expressing the belief
that a high per cent of silver is car
ried. Work on the shaft will be rush.
ed and during the next few weeks a
modern mill will be erected.

The Mary Ann Company, whose
lease is located a little northeast Of
St. Louis, is equipping one of the
finest plants ever seen in the OK field
or in any other field. The mill is said
to be one of the most beautiful ever
built in the West, and as it nears COM
pletion it appears to be as practical
as handsome. The Mary Ann mill Is
to be driven by oil engines, of which
there are three, two 200-horse and
one 100-horse, all acting as units so
that different departments may be
used separately in case one is down.
The Mary Ann has no pond for a
water supply, as a ditch is being dug
to the creek several hundred yards
away which will be six feet across at
the bottom and twelve feet at the top.
and operated with flood-gate which
will control the water.
The new mill is to have capacity
of 600 tons. To give some idea Of
the powerful equipment it might be
well to say that one set Of rolls has
a diameter of 60 inches, making it
possible to grind a great amount Of
dirt in q very short time.
The Mary Ann people expect to
spend 100000 on the property before
grinding any ore, but nothing will be
left undone that will in any way add
to the efficiency of the plant.
One shaft has been sunk to the ore
and another will be in ore in about q
week. Two others will be started in
a few days. The faces or ore on the
Mary Ann lease runs from 30 to rs
feet high and is of the same quality,
as near as can be learned from the
drill records, as the Merrill which
joins it. The forty acres in the lease
have been drilled out thoroughly and
is reported to show a great uniform
ity.
It is thought that the new plant will
be in operation by September 1.

the excitement will subside at the
close of the war, while the zinc and
lead will then come into their own and
the prices will soar.

At the bottom of the Republican
ticket was left four spaces in which to
write in the names Of two men for
constable, two for justice of the peace.
While we have not the complete re-
turns, we know that Clyde Phillips
and Leslie Meyerding each received at
least one vote each for constable.
When Clyde learned his name had
been written in by one party for con-
stable he became alarmed and said he
could not handle the job along with
his clothing business. When he was
assured there was no general cam
-paign being made for him and the one
vote was probably all he void get, he
thought it was pretty good joke and
started out campaigning for Meyer
ding. In the same joking spirit the
names Of H. Leedy and N. E. Rey-
nolds were written in for Justices Of
the peace. There is probably other
names, which the ballots viii show.
