Agricultural Notes.

Itisnot too early 10 be thinking about
our seed wheat. VIII il come up 2 II
II does come up, will it make the best
crop possible
Wheat was sold below cost Of pro-
duction this year then, why talk about
sowing any at all 2 Because the cost
of production this. coming year Will
not be so great as last year and We
need the straw. Fertilizer for most Of
our SOL can be purchased for sii.J
per ton, 4. o. b. Baltimore, and the
price of seed wheat ought not be over
81. so per bushel, so that we can figure
on much lessened cost Of production.
As 30 seed wheat, We ought not to SOW
any unless we test 10 for termination.
Fake some from different parts OF the
sacks or bulk and take 100 seed and
plant them in 4 box Of any kind Of
earth, keeping them moist for few
days. II they do not come up readily
and at least % out of hundred, you
had better get some that will come up.
just word or two about timothy IN
the wheat, Where wheat is sown early
the timothy which is sown at the same
time is often more OF crop than the
wheat But If the wheat is soWn on
well-prepared soil and at the right
time for this section. October 10 10 20,
the timothy will not get ahead Of the
wheat ana will be all o. X. for the
spring. Clover sown at this season OF
the year has proven to be paying
crop, if sown by itself. We try to do
too much with our soils and as a re-
suit we do not get as much from them
as il we tried to do less. Try putting
your wheat fields down in COW peas
next summer and putting your cowpea
land down in grass. Our soil needs
all the vegetable matter we can posi-
bly, get into il. The best source Of hu-
mus is manure, but we can not pro-
duce as much as we need, so let US try
growing Some COW peas or soy beans
and letting them stay on the field all the
winter with perhaps a few hogs or cows
on them to get the straw trampled and
we will find it a wonderful help. -

SIMS ORDERED HOME
BY SECRETARY DENLY
Admiral Says Report of His
Speech Was CARRIED and
inaccurate.

Washington, D. c. - Rear-Admiral
Sims was ordered home from London
by Secretary DENLY as a result of his
speech attacking Sim Fein SYM
pathizers in the United States.
The order, however was not e1,
pected to expediate Admiral Sims re.
turn, as he had planned to return on
the Olympic, which sails Wednesday
and is the first available ship.
Admiral Sims was granted leave OF
absence to go abroad to receive a de-
gree from an English university.
Remarks attributed to him in press
reports of his address before the Eng
disappearing union in London, in
which he criticised activities of Sim
FeIn sympathizers, were not correctly
quoted and were misleading, Admiral
Sims declared in cablegram received
by Secretary DENLY.
The reply of Rear Admiral Sims,
constituting virtually complete dis
vowal of the statements attributed to
him in his London speeches, has made
1t almost certain that no severe punish
ment will be melted out to him when
he returns to report in person to the
secretary, It was said in high naval
quarters.

The committee vote was unanimous

subject Of exhaustive hearings eight
years ago, there was no need of hear

The decision to report out the Borah

American shipping free canal passage,

POULTRY
FLOCKS
KEROSENE CURES SCALY LEGS
One Application Usually Ia Sufficient
to Remove Trouble other
Efficient Remedies.

Scaly legs In fowls Is disease, the
result Of myriads of small parasites
which burrow under the small scales
of the leg, and as these multiply and
burrow under, these scales become en-
larged and loosen from the leg, and
the birds are seen picking at the legs
much of the time which proves that
the parasites cause irritation.
If the disease Is allowed to go I'M
disturbed 1t sometimes happens that
the body becomes infected and the bird
may finally die of exhaustion. We
once lost fine hen this way, not
knowing the cause or remedy, which
Is very simple, and has the advantage
OF always being available ut home.
There are different remedies which
will remove the trouble but none is
better than common kerosene, says
writer In Successful Farming. To ap-
ply, take the fowl In the hands, hold
the legs together and immense them,
full length, in can filled with kero-
sene; hold them there two or three
minutes One application will usually
cure, but sometimes second nppllca-
ton is necessary. Lard and kerosene,
half and half, Is another excellent
remedy, as Is also common machine
oil, or just common axle grease well
rubbed in, two or three times at In
tervals of three days. Soon the scales
will drop Off and the legs become
smooth and clean.
The roosts should also be cleaned
OF well and rubbed with machine oil,
which will help to rid the fowls OF
scaly legs and red mites, as well. This
same remedy is also good In case Of
lice. Keep roosting poles well oiled
and rub little lard under wings and
around vents of infested birds and
they may be kept practically free from
these pests

Ninth Month
Of Good Times

Charles Dillingham's colossal pag-

month at the New York Hippodrome
this week. Having celebrated it's 40Oth
presentation this past week the great
spectacle, with its organization OF
1000 people; its sixteen magnificent
scenes and its wide variety of whole
some amusement, seems destined TO
achieve a new high record run for in
door amusements in America, before
it's final performance in May. Those
who have not already seen this master
spectacle are urged to include it on
their April amusement schedule and
many who have seen it will wish to go
again before the conclusion of its brill
liant season. 1t is without doubt the
finest example of spectacle and eXtraV-
aganza on a huge scale ever seen at
this house of many wonders.

Has Smallpox

Catherine McEvoy of Grantwood,
seventeen year old daughter of Chief
Of Police McEvoy of Cliffside Park,
was taken to the county hospital last
Friday with case of smallpox so
pronounced by DR. Ahearn. Miss Nc
Evoy had been absent from high school
for several weeks, and does not know
how she became exposed to the dis
ease. She had been treated for over
ten days for chicken pox, and was
never made real sick with the malady.
She is reported to be doing well in
the hospital, and has never been in
bed from the cOntagiOn. Her mother
and father went to the hospital this
week and We're allowed to converse
with Catherine through a wire fence
hundred feet or more away. She
was reading sitting in a chair on the
porch when they rode up in the car.
No other members of the McEvoy
family have taken the disease, and
the young girl is soon to be sent

Tax Collector
Short $4,000

Frederick III. Herring, aged forty
Jail last evening to answer charge
of embezzlement.
For the past six years Mr.. Herring
has been tax collector of the borough
of Park Ridge. Up to a short time
ago matters pertaining to his office
appeared to be going along all right
and proper.
At meeting of the Borough Coun-
Gil Two weeks ago, Herring turned in
his regular monthly report which con-
tanned list of names of persons who
were declared as being delinquent in
payment of their taxes
The officials, believing there was q
mistake in the return of some Of the
delinquents, they were Intercepted
and their answers aroused the first
suspicion that there were errors some
where.
On Monday evening another meeting
of the council was held and for the
first time Herring, who was out of
town, failed to send in report as
to the balances on hand, therefore no
bills could be paid.
Last evening the collector returned
to Park Ridge, went to eX-Mayor
Seibert and made a confession of his
shortage, believing it to be between
$4,000 and $4,000. Later on he went
before the council and told everything
and expressed a willingness to help in
Strengthening out Of the books.
Herring was then placed under ar
rest and committed by Moe Rowizer
in default of $4,000 bail.
Herring has conducted an electrical
railroad supply store on Park avenue
for some time, and appeared to be do
ing ii very good business in the mail
order line.
The borough officials are at loss
to understand what occasion the col
lector had to appropriate the public
moneys. They are working on the
books in an endeavor to learn how the
finances stand.
Herring lived with his wife and five
daughters and did not appear to be
living beyond his income.
