Makes Good Living
Hunting Sea Lions

ASTORIA, Ore.-William M. Hun
ter, known here as king" of sea-
lion hunters, paid at the rate of $3.50
each. Bounty is paid on the sea-
lion sbecause they are considered the
Pacific coast salmon's worst enemy.
They gather off the mouth of the
Columbia river here to prey on fish
hound upstream.
,Sea-lion hunting is dangerous.
Hunter says, and he tells of narrow
escapes from angry bulls. Seals, he
asserts, are not as awkward as they
appear, but can travel fast. Re-
Gently one chased him over the rocks
but was Killed by Hunters compan-
ion before it reached him.
Hunter works from a small launch
while at sea. Much of his hunting
is done on rocky beaches, where
seals congregate. He learned his
trade-as he terms it-as a noun
taineer hunting bear and deer in the
Cascade mountains.
In addition to the government
bounty, Hunter is paid by salmon
cannerymen for destroying seals
Estimated on the 1919 pack the rate
of the cannery bounty would be
about $4,000 for every 1000 sea-
lions killed.

Big Cotton Increase
After Cover Crop

CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 31.-In
connection with the increased inter-
est now being aroused in cover crops
by the drives being made by various
county agents, the facts and figures
below are of Importance.
Cotton, following cowpeas, gave 511
pounds to the acre; cotton, following
cotton, yielded only 279 pounds. The
results indicate the need of bal
anced system of rotation. In the
above instance, according to the
Office of Farm Management, United
States Department of Agriculture,
both plots were of similar soil and
each had received 1886 pounds Of fer
tilizer to the acre. Oats, planted to
follow crab grass, gave IL bushels
to the acre, but, coming after velvet
beans, the yield was 28.6 bushels
four times as much.
Land left to rest" does not m
prove as rapidly as when worked
with a good cover crop. When corn
was planted every three years and the
land left to weeds in the intervals,
the yield was only IS bushels to each
acre, but after five years of corn and
crimson clover the yield increased
to SO bushels an acre.

NEW YORK.-Would any lady
airplane pilot like a nice little race
to Philadelphia and Atlantic City on
the way?
Or a straight dash of 100 miles?
Or does any feminine flyer fancy
herself in an altitude contest, up
about 10000 feet, for instance, with
few dives and spins on the way
down?
If so, Miss Laura Bromwell, who
set new record for her sex by flip

In lacy gown, a Hopping hat

Bromwell looked far from an aerial

filed the courthouse, Thomas W.

Heroic Measures
Last all, the Pest Has Ap-
peared in Devastating
SWarmS

RIVERTON, N. 1.-THE Japanese
beetle, regarded as the country's
worst crop pest, has penetrated the
elaborate barrage of bug ppisons,
burned headlands and imported enc
mics which the department of agri-
culture experts had established
around it's quarantined area in Bur-
Iington and Camden counties.
Scouts employed by the department
have found the beetles during the
last few days in other distant sec
tons of Burlington county, while re-
ports that the pest has crossed the
Delaware river and invaded Pennsyl-
vania were verified today.
While the government is impos-
ing a strict quarantine and exami-
nation of all products shipped out of
the restricted areas heretofore known
as the beetle district, the spread Of
the insect now gives the government
far more serious problem. No
quarantine can be extended at once
to these new districts because of
the red tape involved, and it may be
weeks before needed precautions
can be put into effect.
Hundreds of miles of hedge rows
along country roads were burned
over last fall by federal and state
authorities to prevent the beetles
from harboring there and depositing
their eggs in uncultivated ground.
Thousands of acres were treated
with poison compounds and millions
of the bugs were CLEANED by hand at
SO much per quart.
Yet the beetle in the original area
appeared this year in more destruc-
tive numbers than ever before, and
the newly discovered colonies in 9th
err districts give it a foothold for an
increase next year in wide areas of

is seeking to determine what effect,
if any, tobacco has on the mental
faculties of the users. The test will
last another six months.

on men. Just what the test has
shown to date, Prof. O'Shea will not
tell. He will make complete re-
port when it is finished. .,
Simultaneously, similar 1nVest1ga-
tons are being made at Johns Hop
kins, University of Michigan, Leland
Stanford, Harvard and Cornell. In
these schools, however, the exami-
nations are to determine the effect
the morals Prof. O'Shea is special
izing on the mental effect only.
Since chewing is also included in
the test Prof. O'Shea is prepared to
raise the pay a little as an added
tnducement when he collects his
class of co-eds.
This work is being carried on for
scientific purposes only, Prof.
O'Shea explained in Madison. ut is
not in the interest Of any propaganda
whatever, Personally, We do not
care whether tobacco is harmful or
not. All we want is the scientific
truth which we will publish to the
world"
The students upon whom the in
vestigationS are being made nave no
idea what the test will show. The
professor has been careful to keep
them in the dark on that subject.
1.-The idea is this" he explained,
"is to eliminate all suggestions from
their minds. If I should let them
know either frankly or by intima-
knowledge would have some sugges-
tive influence on their minds which
would hamper my work. am

sometimes afterward. Also some
times before meals and at other
times Immediately afterward. Our
laboratory is a very pleasant place,
more like a parlor, with big. easy
chairs, than like a Workshop"
One of the requirements that the
professor makes of his students is
that they will not discuss the work
with outsiders. This also is to keep
out suggestions.
An effort to draw out one of the
boys brought this retort: You tell
'em, you're a newspaper guy" which
shows how much his mentality has

findings, Prof. O'Shea will include
in his report the testimony of 1000
business men who employ smokers.
