Lapp, two Kansas City duck hunters,
were indicted last week by the federal
grand jury at st, Joseph, for hunting
ducks at Bean Lake, in Platte county,
for alleged violation Of the migratory
bird treaty act. 1t will inaugurate a
test of the constitutionality Of the new
federal law against spring shooting it
is thought.
Francis NJ. Wilson, United States
District Attorney in very outspoken
in his attitude toward spring shoot
ing Of migratory birds in Missouri,
and says every hunter that is caught
will be prosecuted as vigorously as he
will be permitted under the law.
Attorney General McAllester was
arrested Thursday last, for shooting
ducks. He and four companions were
arraigned by the U. S. Commissioner

Growing Tomatoes for Canning.

Missouri has become one Of the
leading states In the tomato canning
business. Tomatoes are one Of the
most profitable crops 10 grow on the
rocky hillsidcs and gravclly soils Of
the Ozark section. and the Missouri
river hills, and tomatoes grown On
these soils are of the finest quality
One scotsman sells over 1000 pounds
OF tomato seed 10 cannery growers IN
this state. The price for canning to-
matocs has advanced in the past
three or four years from $500 to
$500 Il ton, equivalent to 37isc u
bushel, which should be- u profitable
price IL the crop is 50 handled as to
give a full yield.
Few Of the canneries are able Ia
operate at full capacity for the whole
canning season, which should extend
from July to late October, so there Is
room for expansion of the business Of
growing tomatoes, according TO j. T..
Rosa, Jr., Of the University of Florida,
College Of Agriculture. The shortage
Is largely due to the fact that the
tomato growers are obtaining low
yields. The average tomato grower
delivers about three tons of tomatoes
TO the cannery for each acre planted.
This yield is far too low. Some Of
the plants at the Missouri Experiment
station in 1918, yielded ut the rate
Of 20 tons per acre. without eytraor-
binary culture. The average yield for
the state should be nearly 10 tons per
acre. One point whereby growers can
improve their tomato crop is in get.

plants into the field by the middle of
May. This will result in heavy set

plants when set in the field is also i'm

with scarcely any roots will be far
less productive than stocky plants,
half as tall but with thick stem and
good mass OF fibrous roots. This
Kind OF plant Is developed by sowing

Lack of fabrication Is Expensive.

Watch the fabrication on your auto
mobile and tractor il you would avoid
cost of repairs. 1t is cheaper to oil
than to buy machinery, says Il. w
Lehman, of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. Use
only lubricants of the best quality
The manufacturer will advise you
which brand of oil is best for the par
ticular machine. Keep oils ant
greases protected from grit and dust
See that all oil containers are clean
ed before using. Carefully follow oil
ing chart In lubricating your machine
A small amount Of oil at regular in
tervals rather than an excess Of oil
occasionally Is best for all machinery.

Ships Coins.

A superstition among seafaring men
is that a coin should be placed be-
meath the mainmast Of newly built
ship. The coin should be of gold,
though in pinch silver will do. The
coin should bear the date of the year
the ship is built and before being placed
beneath the mast it is carefully wrap
per in cotton. It's resting place is the
stepping of the mainmast.
Dealers in coins are aware Of this
long-continued practice, and the re.
suit is that when an old ship is bro
ken up, especially abroad, there is al
ways on hand a company of coin deal
ers DESTROYS of obtaining the coin. It
is said that in this way one collector
obtained specimen Of the rare Ameri-
can dollar Of the mintage of 1904,
which has commanded high premium
for many years.

Presidential Succession.

Members of the cabinet are in line
to the succession, if they can comply
with the Constitutional requirements.

cept natural born citizen, or a citi-
zen of the United States at the time
of the adoption of this Constitution,

the succession to the presidency by

treasury, secretary of war. secretary Of
the navy. secretary of the interior. Sec
rotary of agriculture. secretary Of
commerce. secretary Of labor. A per-
son not born in this country may be
a member Of the presidents cabinet,
but he is not eligible to the presidency,
being barred by the Constitutional pro-
vision quoted above.

Not many people are aware that eie-
plants are '.right-handed" and left

An elephant uses only one tusk most

badly broken it turns to the other. just
as man who has injured his right
hand takes to his left. The tusk must
be very severely damaged before 1t will
give up using it in preference to the
other.
The working tusk becomes worn and
smooth toward the end-so much
worn. in fact. that it is often appre-
Gladly shorter than the other, and
frequently the tip has been broken off.
After that has happened the jagged
edge becomes gradually worn smooth.

JUDGE WAS ON RIGHT TRACK
New Highlander Pioneer in Scheme
of Conserving Water for Use
in Summer Months.

Present-day interest in the develop
ment of water power has recalled a
modest, old-fashioned episode in the
history of New England when, some
time in the forties, Judge Nathan Cros-,
by drove round Lake Winnepesaukee
in his carriage and made rough calcu-
lations of the effect upon local agri-
cultural land if the lake level were
raised few feet. Out of that car
rage ride grew plan by which Lakes
Winnepesaukee. SQuam, Newfound
and others have since been used as
storage basins, conserving water for
the summer months. and thus becom-
ing modest pioneers of the more inn
pressive plants for water utilization
that will doubtless be feature of the
United States in the not distant fu-
ture. Judge Crosby, however, may
have had no more idea of the trans
mission of water power in the form
of electricity than his buggy had OF
