R.vsnu. from Gam. Licenses. IRE

Revenue from Game Licenses Re-
ceipts from hunting licenses, fines and
other sources received by Wade Hamp-
ton Gibbs, chief game warden, will
amount to nearly $4,000 for October
according to indications Of the re-.
ports already in the office. Approx
mately $4,000 has been turned into
the treasury from the various coun-,
ties and this will be increased to
about, $4,000 before the end of the
month, Mr.. Gibbs thinks. The amount
this month will exceed by probably,
$1,000 the receipts for the same per-
iod last year. Mr.. Gibbs said yesterr
day he had printed ss per cent more
licenses this year than last and found
the supply to be far from adequate.
This is true despite the fact that prac-
tically not day suitable for hunting
has yet been had in the state. Mr..
Gibbs has just returned from an ex-
tended tour to the counties In the
Piedmont section in interest of game
protection. He reports that every
where he has been the. farmers ana
all other citizens are realizing that the
game laws are for protection and not
for oppression. This is aiding the
game wardens in their fight and they
are receiving cooperation OF the citi-
zens In most cases.-Columbia State,

portant Order.
Senator Dial of South Carolina ac-
cording to a Washington dispatch has
made public the text Of orders issued
by the bureau of soils, department. Of
agriculture, which are designed to pre-
vent crop damage through the sale
and the application of artificial fer
tilizers containing undue proportions
Of borax.
| While these orders are primarily of
interest to South Carolina, they in
part cover the entire south In their
scope. Photographs illustrating dam
age alleged to have been wrought by
American or t'TIona" potash in the Pee
Dee section Of South Carolina were ex-
hibited to the ways and means COM
mittee of the house of representatives
recently, in the course Of hearings on
the proposal to establish an import
duty which would protect the infant
American potash industry.
DR.. c. c. Fletcher OF the bureau OF
soils was sent to South Carolina last
July to study the conditions there. In
furtherance of an investigation. tiisr
being made BY the Bureau and the
orders now issued are the outcome OF
the findings. Secretary Houston deem
ed it advisable to comply with, a re-
cent request from Senator Dial, for a
copy of DR.. Fletcher's report, but to-
day the senate received from the chief
of the bureau Of soils, DR.. Milton Whit:
ney, letter enclosing orders which
had just been issued. DR.. Whitney
advised the senate that the department
had considered the subject of High
Borax containing potash salts, such as
are derived from the Searles Lake de-
posit, and under, authority of the con-
troll act of August 10, 1917, has issued
an order to the Searles Lake producers
and to all brokers, fertilizer manu-
facturers and mixers to insure the
safe use of this material for fertilizer
purposes" The order to the produc-
ers is dated October "a and is in part
as follows:
1.-THE department has investigated
the damage to crops attributed to the
use Of fertilizer containing high Dorax
potash and has traced in important in
stances this potash to the produce Of
Searles Lake. In order to permit the
safe use of this product in future, the
department, under authority of the
control act of August 10, 1917. has de-
cided to place such restrictions on the
use Of potash salts containing borax
as will guarantee the use Of an ap-
plication of not more than two pounds
Of anhydrous borax per acre. In or
der to effect this, you are instructed
not to sell direct to farmers as
straight goods, or to any broker or
other person for use by farmers as
straight goods. potash salts containing
more than 5-10ths or per cent OF
anhydrous borax."
An order has been issued to brokers'
fertilizer manufacturers and mixers
which permits them to continue using
in mixed goods potash salts contain
ing borax, but they must not allow
more than two pounds per ton of bo-
rax.
The United States department OF
agriculture has therefore sustained in
substance the contentious made by the
planters that the crop damage OF
which they complained was due to i'm
purities in the American potash salts
supplied them.

CONTEST HERE

The Seaton Athletic club of St
Paul will be the opponents Of the
Independents in Rock Island or
Oct. II in place Of Moline.
The game was arranged yester-
day by wire, the Seatons previously
having written for contest.
The Seatons this year is the COM
bination of two of the fastest teams
in st. Paul, the Banholzers and the
Beavers. The purpose of the union
is to rest the championship from
the Marines of Minneapolis. Both
organizations had long been the
only rivals of the famous aggrega-
ton which was piloted by RUDE
Ursella
Knowing the siren 9Th of the IS
landers this year. the Seat0ns en-
tered into negotiations for a game
and agreed TO come here under the
terms that if they do not perform
to the entire satisfaction of every
one, they will not ask any part OF
the gate receipts.
A sporting proposition like this
could hardly be ignored. Manager
Flanagan sent Fred Chicken on a
scouting expedition into the camp
of the Seatons to learn the strength
of the saints, and Chicks reply
came back to the effect that they
would give any team in the cOun-
try a great battle.
And Chicken ought to know. He
says they have a formidable lineup
of former university and profes-
sioaal players.
