FIREWORKS Won
BY I He D. A. R.


The ban on fireworks will not be
lifted for the coming July 1 cele-
bration. It was decided by the city
commissioners yesterday afternoon.
The D. A. r. has won its point IN
the controversy that has been going
on for the last two weeks relative
to the partial removal OF restric-
lions.
Last Monday an ordinance was
presented, providing the original
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. statute be
amended to allow the city commits
sioners privilege to render the ordi.
nance non-effective for a period OF
not longer than 48 hours, and give
power to the commissioners to say
what fireworks could be sold in
that period. It was held that under
such an arrangement an under
standing as to what stocks could
he laid in be reached with ner-
chants and then the ordinance
could be held non-effective for AZ
hours during the time of celebra-
ton when the stocks could be sold.
When In Doubt, Don't.
r. C. Fisher, superintendent OF
the public schools Of Rock Island,
appeared before the commissioners
Yesterday afternoon with the ID. A.
r. committee. In representing the
public schools he maintained 1t his
dutv to say that the school authori-
ties had worked for years to bring
about sane July celebrations in
order to reduce the great number
Of tragedies. He said that when
discussing such question as fire-
works the best standard to go by
was: when in doubt, don't"
"a great many people unthink-
ingly endorse the shooting OF fire
works for various reasons" Mr..
Fisher said. :.
How often have we heard 1t
said: 1T is only one in one thou
sand who is hurt However, when
It is your boy, one in one thousand
is one too many"
Mr.. Fisher said that he had not
heard either side of the contro-
versy over the fireworks ordinance
either that of the d. A. r. or of the
merchants.
However, he said that just be-
cause other cities do not enforce
their fireworks ordinance no ade-
quate ground is presented why

FREE LIMESTONE.

A letter from the Hawkeye Quarries
Company on June 7th, states that the
offer of free limestone expires June
18th. after which the usual price OF ~
cents ton will be required. So far
PIG car loads Of limestone have been
ordered from the company by Della
aware County Farm Bureaus. Della
ware county has had a few orders
should have many more owing to the
close proximity to the quarries. we
would like to see 400 cars OF limestone
brought into this county. It would
make vast difference in the produc-
ton of our crops.
Orders which have been given IN
to the company will be delayed on ac-
count of ruling passed by the inter-
state Commerce Commission, which
has transferred all Of the open coal
cars to the coal fields until June 10Th,
and it will be some time before there
is a REIMBURSEMENT of the cars back TO
normal traffic on local railroads. This
means that shipment will be delayed
until the summer and fall. Ii you
are interested in securing a car OF
limestone for the freight, be sure that
your orders are at the Farm Bureau
office not later than June 18th.

as long as the government is guaran-
teeing them by an income on their in
vestment. For this reason 1t would
be advisable for farmers and their
Commission Company to safeguard
their interests. Every farmer should
insist that cars loaded with hogs are
we'll bedded with sand which should be
thoroly wet down and that boxes of
ice are suspended In the car. A re-
cent shipment Of hogs averaging $50
pounds on which 1000 pounds of ice
were used in this manner, brought. the
entire shipment through to Chicago
in excellent condition. Keep this in
mind, as it is much easier to avoid
trouble than to wait on railroad COM
panies to decide damage claims.

COST OF FEEDING HORSES.

The Farm Bureau Federation has
sent out urgent letters requesting that
farmers be secured in Delaware Coun-
ty who will keep cost accounts OF rails
ing livestock and farm products. II
the farmers wish to secure cost plus
price for their farm products they
must be able, some of these days, to
prove to the public, in black and white
what such products are costing him
to produce.
There is another phase of farming
enterprise which is often overlooked
and which is very essential, and that
is the cost of maintaining work ami
mails on the farm. Also the main
tainance of brood sows. Very few
people know what 1t costs to maintain
their working force of animals on the
farm. A farmer who will be willing
to keep cost record of feeds. etc..

LIVESTOCK LOSSES.

We quote in full, letter received
from owen L. Coon, Attorney for the
Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Claim
Department at Chicago, Illinois.
Farmers will do well to keep this let
ter in mind, and in case any losses
should occur that the matter will be
brought to the attention Of the local
Farm Bureau at once. This organi-
zation will take up the matter with the
Federation Attorney at Chicago. The
letter is as follows:
"A large number of shipments are
being delayed in transit. On all live
stock shipments, this entails loss in
the market for all of which a valid
claim should be filed against the rail-
road. Claims should also be filed
for all animals short at destination or
killed in transit.
Many farmers believe that if such
losses are the results Of delays that
have arisen during the recent strike
trouble there is no valid claims. THIS
is WRONG. And unless these claims
as well as all others, are filed within
four months from the time the ship
ment is made. the claim is outlawed.
| Every farmer should be. advised TO
send his claim to us at once, in OF
der that his rights may be properly
protected.
To enable us to handle the claim
efficiently, three things are needed
a. Copy of livestock contract; (2)
account sales; CD an itemized state
ment of all elements of loss sustained.
With this information in our hands,
the claim will be made up, properly
presented to the railroad, and eff
ficiently followed up to a conclusion.
! Claims should be filed with this de-
partment in the very beginning, and
before being filed with the railroad

WOOL SHIPMENTS.

At recent meeting of the members
of the Sheep Growers Association,
the Marketing Committee decided that
a call will be made for the wool ship
ments of Delaware county extending

be set for shipments from Greeley,
where large amount of wool is be-
ing sheared. The other shipping
point will be Manchester, three days
being reserved for receiving the wool.
Possibly June 2S, 20, and 80. Full

WITH THE. FARM BUREAU MEM.
RERS.

Mr.. e. G. Dunning, Of Manchester,
and several other Farm Bureau menu
bers, have recently inquired as to the
matter of seeding Sudan Grass. Other
farmers may be interested in few
suggestions, relative to Sudan Grass.
If the hay is short and the corn
has been drowned out and it is too late
to replant, the sudan grass will pro-
vide an excellent catch crop. 1t may
be seeded at any time now. The land
should be free from weeds, If pos
sible. In seeding it may be broad
casted at the rate Of Is to 20 pounds
an acre. This makes a fine cutting
Of hay, varying from three to five tons
per acre, or it may be drilled in rows
Is to "a inches apart and cultivated
similar to corn until the plants shade
the ground. 1t will require from 4
to 6 pounds to an acre II drilled.
The crop may be harvested with a
binder and shocked the same as oats,
or may be cut with a moving machine.
A good many men prefer to use the
binder.
When cutting the hay, 1t would be
advisable to make first cutting at
the time of Towering as the plants
will then contain large amount OF
food value. II the growing season
should be long it might be possible OF
secure second cutting. We have
seen as many as three cuttings in
states farther south and west. When
properly cured, Sudan Grass, makes
hay that is superior to timothy and is
liked by most livestock, with the ex-
ception Of swine.
COUNTY PICNIC.
