Controlling Soil Washing.

than remedies, says M. F. Mill
controlling disease, preventive
measures are more important
than remidies, says M. F. Mill
er of the University of Missouri
Agriculture. Where washing has
already taken place, of course
remedial measures alone are
left. If the washing has been
long continued, however, the re-
meries are costly and it is rare
that the land can be put into as
good condition as it was in orr
ginally, even with great expense
There are few cases where the
old saying that "a stitch in time
saves nine. is more applicable
than in the handling of land to
prevent washing.
A crop rotation which leaves
the land bare as short a time
as possible is the most funda-
mental preventive measure. Nat
urally corn must be grown on
most farms but there are very
few where corn must be grown
over one-third of the time on
the individual fields and where
all the stalk land must lie bare
during the fall, winter and
spring.
The use of winter cover crops,
such as rye, will go a long way
in preventing the washing of the
fall, winter, and springs rains.
the man who never tried a crop
like rye will be surprised at the
effect of the fbrous roots of
this crop in holding the soil.
Other crops which may be US
ed to advantage are wheat, bar
ley, and in the southern half of
the state, crimson clover. The
use of such crops not only means
a saving Of soil but also the
addition of organic matter or
humus, a substance badly need
ed in most lands which are in
clined to wash.

Boost the Painting Campaign.

The paint and varnish indus
try of America is setting out on
a "Save the Surface" campaign.
It is Of course to the interest of
the various companies represent
ed to put this campaign over in
good style, but it is of great in
terest to the man who has build
ings on his farm to help them
put it over.
The loss from unprotected
surfaces, whether they be sur
faces of iron, wood or other ma
terial is very great and can on
ly be estimated, but it is certain
that the loss is far out of pro-
portion to what it would be if
proper protection were given the
surfaces.
Nothing improves the appear
ance of any farm building more
than a good coat of paint, and
nothing win add any more to the
life of a building. The slogan,
F"Save the Surface and you Save
ALL" has been adopted by the
campaign leaders and it is a hint
to all thrifty farmers to add
years to the usefulness of their
buildings and make them pay

Union Seeks Release
OF Men on Ellis Island

The Central Federated Union at its
meeting last night adopted resolution
calling upon the Secretary of Labor to
release the twenty-one I. w. w. men
now held on Ellis Island for deporta-
tion. The resolution was adopted after
an address by Caroline Lowe, attorney
for the men. 1t also called upon the
Secretary of Labor to prevent further
employment Of spies to trap |. w. w.
men in the Western lumber camps.
William Kohn. chairman of the cx-
ecutive committee of the local branch
of the American Labor party, denied
that the American. Labor party would
join any political amalgamation of radi-
cal elements, as indicated in n adver-
tisement contained in the current issue
of "The Nation" Mr.. Kohn also said
the |. w. w. was precluded from any
participation in such movement, be-
cause it's constitution especially pro-
hibited participation in politics or gov
ernment.
James P. Holland, president of the
State Federation of Labor, urged that
the labor unions of the state give more
general support to women candidates
for office, especially legislative. He de-
clared that the women members Of the
present Legislature had proved more
Conscientious than the men, doing more
for labor than the latter, who even
when they had sponsored bills were
prone to permit them to die in commit
tee, whereas The women were disposed
to fight for them.

Rich Tax Dodgers
Scored by Cohalan
Effort to Defeat State Assess
ment on Harbcck Estate
ArOuses Surrogate

Surrogate Cohalan forcibly express
ed his views yesterday on men of
wealth who try SO to arrange their
place of residence that their estate
will not have to pay an inheritance
tax The Surrogate spoke during the
hearing on the application Of State
Controller Travis that the $2,900,000
estate left by John II. Harbeck be
compelled to pay the State of New
York $61, 900 as transfer tax on the
estate. Nh. Harbeck died in 1910 at
the Hotel Plaza. His widow, Mrs.
Kate A. Harbeck, who received $2,
100000, probated his will here and
contended her husband was a resi-
dent of Colorado The State of Colo
RADIO tried to collect a tax, whereupon
Mrs Harbeck said her husband was
resident of New York. The Harbecks
had house in Boulder, Col, which
they occupied few months each year
Surrogate Cohalan, who reserved
decision, declared "some men amass
fortune or inherit one, and go from
one state to another and think their
home is wherever they hang their hat
up, and as long as there is q tax they
don't live anywhere. If it can be
shown that this mans domicile was
New York, 1 am going to see to it that
his estate pays to this state what is
coming to it."

District Attorneys Office Sug-

Of Grating Accents

The name Of "The Tammany Times"
will be changed after the appearance
Of the anniversary number of that
publication on April IS.
This decision was reached By the
publisher of the paper after a confer
ence with Assistant District Attorney
Edwin T. Kllroe, who stated last night
that Tor the past year many COM
plants have been received at his Office
against solicitors of the paper. Some
of these solicitors, he said, had repre-
sented that the paper was the official
organ of Tammany Hall and that it
would be to the best interests of those
approached to patronize it,
In cases where advertisements were
refused, Mr.. Kilroe said, the inference
was invariably left by the solicitor
that the refusal might bring disagree
able results. About two weeks ago.
ne said, solicitors for the paper were
at work among the steamship COM
panies whose city licenses were about
to expire, and broad hints were given
out that an advertisement in "The Tam
many Times" would help materially in
obtaining renewal of the licenses.
George Feigl, editor and publisher
of the paper, disclaimed any knowl-
edge of these practices when sum-
moned to Mr.. Kiroe's office. Mr.. Kill
roe stated that ne had no doubt that
some of the "hundred per cent bows"
had solicited advertisements and sub
scriptions without authority. 1t has

Tobacco War Declared
Blow to Small Stores

The price-cutting war that started
between the Schultz and United Cigar
stores companies has spread to the
rest of the trade, and unless soon
quelled, tobacco dealers predicted yes
terday, will result in ovcrwhe elming
many smaller dealers
L. NJ. Gales, president of the Liggctt
Drug Company, which met the price
cutters by reducing the price of it's
own tobacco and cigarettes, yesterday
termed the conflict as "injudicious and
bad for business"
"Liggett has taken its action mere
ly for self protection," he said
Mr.. Gales said there was no appar-
cnt reason for the conflict. He as
serted no tobacco concern can sell at
present prices and make a profit. but
added that when company operating
chain of stores makes cut in
prices this cut must be met.
II imagine we can stand the gaff as
we'll as Schultz" he remarked.
When asked what had caused the
price-cutting Mr.. Gales merely
shrugged his shoulders.
How can | tell why they are doing
it, he asked. "Therc is no apparent
reason: Pricc-cutting is sometimes
done for silly personal reasons"
