EAST FOR SPECIAL WORK

Louisville, Feb. 26.-Miss Jessie o.
Yancey, Educational Secretary of the
State tuberculosis Association, left
Louisville this week for Atlantic City
where she was to attend the sessions
of the National Educational Associa-
ton. During this organization S
meeting there various questions of
interest to persons engaged in the
promotion of health work in the
schools of the country will be discuss
ed. The Modern Health Crusade,
which was inaugurated to encourage
school children in the regular per-
Torrance of health chores and which
recently was introduced into Kentuc-
ky, will be one of the subjects given
consideration.
From Atlantic City Miss Yancey
will go on to New York where she
will take some special courses at the
Life Extension Institute. Former
President William H. Taft is head of
this institution and many of the fore
most educators of the country are

enterprising Republicans on the ag-
ricultural committees have gotten to-
gether and put one over for the
farmers.
Another sum voted is for the inau-
guration of research work in connec-
tion with brown rot and kindred dis
eases of peach trees which cause large
losses annually to peach growers.
Still anotheris for the eradication of
the white pine blister rust which at
tack currants and gooseberries. Po-
tato diseases, like mosaic and leaf
roll, which affect the quality of seed
potatoes grown for interstate ship
ment and potato decays which cause
heavy losses in shipments arriving in
large markets from southern and
western sources will also be investi-
gated.

TORPEDO-CARRYING
HYDROPLANE Is TESTED

London, Feb. 19.-Before a repre-
sentative gathering of foreign pow
ers, including the United States, ia
pan, Norway and Holland, the first
public flight of a new torpedo-car-
rying hydroplane was carried out at
Brough, near Hull, in ideal weather.
The plane, the building of which
has been conducted with the utmost
secrecy, is of an entirely new shape,
and is claimed to be something new in
the way of torpedo-carrying craft.
Before the arrival on the ground
of the visitors some internal fittings
were removed by order of the Air
Ministry, who desire that they should
be kept secret

Seeds of a number of unusual
plants have been recently received
at the quarantine station of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Washing
ton, ID. c., from j. f. Rock, one of
the department explorers in Siam.
Among these are a black-kerneled
rice which is said to be extensively
eaten by the natives of Siam, and an
other is a brown-tinted cotton, not
hitherto known in this country. The
seeds will be propagated in the plant
detention station to guard against
spreading any lurking plant disease
which may have chung to them, and
the second-generation seed will be
tested out in various parts of the
United States.

To Warn Farmers of Frost.

Washington, March 5.-The Unit

This is a new item contained in the

TO EQUAL BRITISH IN CHINA

Washington, March 5-Represen-
tative Dyer, of Missouri, has report
ed favorably from the Committee on
Judiciary a bill designed to place
American business on footing with
British and japanese interests in Chi
ma. In his report he says:
"China occupies a stretch of ter
ritory one-sixth larger than continent
tai United States. The population is
four times as large as our population
and her climatic condition and natu-
raj resuroces are quite similar to ours.
For years through the work of our
missionaries and educators and the
operation of our "open-door' policy
we have been building up great as
set of goodwill toward America on
the part of the Chinese people. They
know that America has no designs
on their territory and that the close
commercial relations of the two Re-
publics will do much to strengthen
China and enable her to more success
fully cope with aggressors who do
have designs on her territory. The
fact that the trade between the U. S.
and China had quadrupled in the
last fifteen years prove the possibili-
ties If we can be placed on an equal
footing with our competitors
The bill exempts American cor
porations doing business in China
from income and surplus taxes, in this
respect placing them on a par with
British and japanese concerns.

BATTLESHIPS ARE BEST

Washington, March 7.-Confirma-
ton of the wisdom of Republican
policy in Congress of steadily fighting
for the maintenance of the battle
ship strength of the Navy is contain
ed in report made by Admiral
Coontz. chief of operations of the
General Board of the Navy. He says:
Nothing that occurred during the
World War has served to change the
opinion Of the General Board as to
the vital Importance in war of the
battleship; the ship that can at once
give and take heavy blows.
Comment has been made from
time to time in the press and else
where upon the comparatively little
actual fighting done in the late war
by the battleship fleets, and the con-
clusion has been drawn that because
of their apparent inactivity they were
Of no use and could be dispensed
with. The important service which
they performed was neither generally
understood nor appreciated. In re-
ality it was upon the potential fight
ing power of these ships that the ac-
tivities of all other naval craft was
based. Throughout the war 1t was
the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow or
Whereabouts which controlled the
movement of the enemy ships. 1t
was the sea power latent in the bat
tleships which exercised the pressure.

Administration Calling For More
Arc Not Making Use OF
Those They Have.

Washington, March 5.--Excoria-
tion Of the Wilson administration fol
its failure to use facilities in its hands
for assisting disabled soldiers is made
by Representative James w. Good
chairman of the House Appropria.
tions Committee. He says:
$50 much has been said in the pub.
lie press in criticism of Congress with
regard to what we have done in pro-
viding hospitals for our disabled sol
diers of the recent war that / think
il might be well to state a few facts
in regard to what Congress has done
and what the situation is regarding
hospitals.
81 do not know why a young man
about 26 years old, down in the Treas
ury Department, an Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury, does not send
men who are wounded or sick to the
hospitals and stop whining about
there not being hospital facilities.
Certain it is that he is asking for
large appropriations to build new
hospitals, when he absolutely refuses
to send men who were disabled in
this war to the best hospitals that
money can build.
"Out of an appropriation of $46,-
100000 there was allotted to the
Board of Managers of the Soldiers
Homes almost 100000 to recon-
struct these hospitals. They took
the Johnson City hospital in Tennessee
for example, from which the old SOL
diers of the Civil War and the
Spanish-American War were taken
and sent to other hospitals. That
hospital was rebuilt at an expense of
more than $1,OOO,OOO as a tubercu-
losis sanitarium, and it was rebuilt
under the plans and specifications
provided by the National Tubercu-
losis Society of America. That socie-
ty says it is the finest tuberculosis
hospital in all the world. 1t has a to-
tai bed capacity of 1000 and yet to
this very hour they have sent to that
hospital only 229 tubercular patients

DROP STATE MERGER PLAN

The movement to combine the up
per part of Michigan with Wisconsin
has been indefinitely postponed by
the Wisconsin legislature. 1t is said
the plan was dropped because of the
obstacles that would be raised by
court action and the probable decision
of the supreme court on case in
volving such fundamental change in
boundaries. Michigan also didn't
like the idea of being vivisected.

Mole a Nuisance on Farm But His
Coat Is Valuable.

"The little gentleman in black vel
vet" who caused the death of King
William III by digging the burrow
that tripped the English kings horse
is finding his black velvet jacket a
coveted possession. Reports from
the leading fur dealers in this coun-
try indicate that the number of Am
erican .moleskins marketed during
the last fiscal year was 20 per cent
greater than for the preceding IL
months. The Bureau of Biological
Survey, United States Department of
Agriculture, is largely responsible for
this increase. In conducting demon
STATIONS in cooperation with the pub
lie schools, State extension services
and other organizations, the bureau
has encouraged the eradication of
the mole from territories where the
little animal has become pest. Boys
and girls clubs have been given an
opportunity to study the trapping
methods most effective and also the
best way to care for the tiny pelts.
The years catch of mOles yielded a
peltry value in the State of Washing
ton of 100000 and, due to the eff
forts Of the specialists, costly nui-
sance has been reduced.

Western .StOckmen Alarmed At Al
faIfa Weevil Menace.

"
falfa Weevil Menace.
Stock raisers of California have
become alarmed at the approach Of
the alfalfa weevil to its Oregon and
Nevada borders. The insect is one
of the most destructive alfalfa pests
known. For this reason efforts have
been made to limit its spread by
quarantine, and methods of control
have been developed thru seven years
of experimental work by specialists
of the United States Departmnt of
Agriculture.
Spraying with arsenate of lead and
arsenate of zinc has been found most
successful. Arsenate Of lead is used
at the rate of pounds of powder or
4 pounds of commercial paste to each
100 gallons of water applied at rate
not to exceed 100 gallons per acre.
The poison is stirred in little water
until it becomes a thin paste without
Jumps, then diluted and strained; 2
pounds of laundry soap, which assists
in making the solution spread more
readily and stick to the leaves, is
added.
Control methods are described in
Farmers Bulletin 1885, which may
be had upon application to the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,

How To Rid Poultry House OF "Stick.

"Stick-tight fleas breed in the
cracks and crevices of brood coops
and poultry houses; also in dry ami
NAL or vegetable refuse, but will not
breed in damp or wet places; there
fore, to get rid of them 1t is necessary
to clean and spray the houses and

ture.
Grease the comb and wattles of the
fowls and chicks with a preparation
of kerosene and lard-1 part kero-
sene to 8 parts of lard-being very
careful not to use too much of the
mixture or get any of it in the birds
eyes or on other places where it is
not necessary, as it may cause in

Clean and spray the coops and
hnnses thoroughly the same as for
poultry mites; also wet or spray the
yards or runs, especially any dry
soil about the poultry houses, such as
dirt floors or the ground underneath
a board floor, with a solution of salt
and water, which helps to keep the
ground moist and prevents the fleas
from breeding.
