rice QUEEN" OF
U. 5. IS IN BRITAIN
MRS. MAY A. HAYES, OF HOUS-
TON, REPRESENTS SOUTHERN
GROWERS ASSOCIATION.

LONDON, Eng.-The Mark lane
rice world has been pleasantly sur
prised by the arrival in its midst a
fortnight ago of Mrs. May Andrews
Hayes, of Houston, Texas, known
overseas as "the Rice Queen" who
was chosen by the American South
ern Rice Growers Association to rep
resent them in this country. She has
come over with the best possible Gre
dentials-letters from Secretary of
State Lansing and representative
men in the American rice world to
influential men in the rice domain
here, all of them commenting on the
great efficiency, business capacity
and charm of Mrs. Hayes.
The president of the Rice Grow
ers' Association, perhaps having in
his heart a doubt of the position of
the business woman in England, says
in letter that Mrs. Hayes is typi-
cal American business woman, that
she will measure up WE'LL" and final
ly that she has the confidence of the
entire rice industry of America.
Mrs. Hayes has cabled over to
America offers for 100000 tons of
American rice.

FOOTWEAR PRICES ARE
DUE TO TAKE A TUMBLE
President of Manufacturers Body
Declares Declines Will Be No
ticeable Next April.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Footwear
prices are due for a tumble-in fact
they have dropped 20 per cent. since
the middle of August and are going
to take still another drop after Christ
mas. J. Frank McElwain, president of
the National Boot and Shoe Manu-
facturers' Association, said in an ad-
dress before the Middle State Shoe
Wholesale Association tonight.
Mr.. McElwain said the consumer
should notice these declines begin
ming next April, as the shoes now
being manufactured will not be mark
eted until that time. He said falling
off in the demand from Europe partly
was responsible for the reduction.

swer to the grand jury, and they re-
turned an Indictment to the court.
The judge presiding sentenced him
to die on the gallows, but the presi-
dent was asked by prominent persons
attracted by the case to commute his
sentence, which was done. Then Bill
donned the garb of a "lifer" and
started to spend the rest of his days
in the striped clothes of the "chain
gang"
A Model Prisoner.
He never attempted escape. The
years since then have flown by un-
eventually for him. He has outlived
every person connected with his case |;
he has changed from the stubborn
defendant who earnestly pleaded not
guilty before the court to a modern
underling worker. He divided the
greater part of his "time," up until
two years ago, when he was sent to
Lorton, between Moundsville and AZ
lanta.
He did the work as a janitor and
sanitary Inspector, and the convicts
in those jails have often expressed
thanks to "Old Bill' for his interest
in their welfare. The convicts in these
penitentiaries have all heard of Bills
parole and they all say that they are
glad, because he deserved it." They
have sent him their best regards in
the remaking of his life.
When "Old Bill" was informed of
the action taken by the attorney gen.
eral and others in letting him back
into life he fell on the neck of his
informers and cried for joy.
Recently he passed through the
city, and when he is brought back to
live his life again it will be just like
a foreign country for him.

On account of an unusually poor
corn crop many farmers are going to
find themselves short of feed, and
there is every probability that feed
will be very high during 1919-1920.
Confronted by such problem it
is highly advisable that large acre
age of fall oats be sowed. Good va
rieties for this purpose are Appler,
Texas red rust proof, and Fulghum.
In case of winter freezing the same
land should be resolved about Feb.
18th, with Burt oats.
Now is the time to sow fall oats,
and the open furrow method, origi-
mated by Col r. j. Redding at the
Georgia Experiment Station, has
proved it's value. The following is
Col. Redding's own description of his
method as given in bulletin "A of this
station, which is now exhausted for
distribution:
"By all means use a regular grain
drill, if one can be had that will sow
rust-proof oats satisfactorily, and
there are some that are guaranteed
to do it.
"On the station farm we have
found, even when the drills were
laid two feet or one and a half feet
apart, using a common scooter pillow,
or better, a single row fertilizer and
seed distributor-tha oats so sown
always produce a larger yield than
when sown broadcast and narrowed
in. But a more important discovery
is the fact that when the seed are
sown in open burrows and barely COW
cred, leaving the burrows open or
untitled the oats plants are very much
less liable to be killed by a severe
freeze. The idea was conceived sever
al years ago, and annually since we
have sown the larger portion of the
fall-sown area in drills 18 to "a inch

les apart, latterly using a CAN'T fer
tilizer distributor. This sows but one
row at time, has no covering at
tachment, but simply opens small
furrow and sows the seed, the single
wheel following in the furrow and
barely covering the seed. The result
is the plants come up one and half
to two inches below the general sur
face, and the crown of each plant
is formed and established say two
to two and half inches below the
general surface. The winter rains,
light freezes and thaws gradually but
only partly fill in the open furrow,
and the more vital and sensitive parts
of the plants are left at the original
depth, below the reach of even very
severe. freezes.
"The long anticipated freeze at
last came and our theory was put to
crucial test. On February 8, 1899,
the thermometer sank to Is degrees,
followed on successive mornings by
10 to II degrees. On the 18th 1t was
down to II degrees, and on the morn
ing of the 18th it stood at degrees
below zero-the coolest day since
February 8, 1885. The result was
fall-sown oats and January-sOwn oats
were pretty generally destroyed ev-
erywhere. But our open furrow
drilled oats, excepting two acres,
stood the test remarkably we'll, and
though severely injured made forty
bushels to the acre. Of the two acres
SO planted that were badly killed the
rows were laid east and west; of all
the other sections the rows were laid
north ad south; thus developing an
other significant fact, that the ideal
direction would be northeast and
southwest, in order to protect the
plants, by means of the wall of earth,
against the northwest wind.
'In order to make more sure OF
the correctness of the preconceived
theory that the open burrows would
secure the oats from fatal freezes on
two one-acre sections that were soWn
in open burrows running east and
west, on every alternate tenth acre
the burrows were filled up flush by
running over them with a clod-crush-
er and smoother. The result was that
the oats on these alternate tenths
were almost entirely destroyed, not
one plant in ten surviving the severe
| freeze, and the plots were re-sown
with spring oats. But the other
tenths. of which the burrows were
left '' open, although severely injured,
produced forty bushels of grain per
acre, or more than half of the ex-
pected crop.
"When carefully drilled one and
half to two bushels of oats are sui
fcient for an acre; when broadcasted
from three to four bushels of the
same oats are required for one acre"

to to- 100 OI pounds of suiphate of ammo
mia or 100 to $50 pounds of nitrate
