Alexander Herald-A careful pers-
ual of dozens of exchanges from var
ious towns in the state show that
merchants in practically every town
are making more than ordinary eff
forts to stimulate trade. Great bar
gain sales are being advertised in
nearly all communities while dollar
day specials serve as an inducement
to the public to trade with the mer-
chants who are advertising the bar
gains. 1t is a certainty that the pub
lie must be convinced that a store
is offering some bargains before the
purse strings are loosened, and it is
the town with a good bunch of live
merchants which looms up big these
days.

FARM NOTES

There is an impression In some
sections where cream is sold on the
butter fat basis that cream will
test more after 1t sours than while
sweet, says the dairy specialist OF
the Agricultural college,. In some
instances, cream station operators
have told producers that this is
true, and that 1t pays to hold cream
until it Is sour. Nothing is further
from the truth.
A sweet cream will test Just as
much as the same cream when sour,
unless 1t has been kept under such
conditions that considerable
amount of the water of the cream
has evaporated. In that case,
highest test will be secured, but
the loss in weight of the cream
will offset the increased test and
the total butter fat in the cream
will be no greater.
The truth of the matter Is that
cream Is never in any better condi-
ton for getting an accurate test
than when fresh from the separa-
tor. 1t is also true that sour crern
can be tested accurately so long
as it is in good mechanical condi-
tion. If 1t is low testing cream,
under 80 to 35 per cent there Is
considerable skim milk in the
cream and when It becomes quite
sour, Jumps of curd will form which
it is difficult to break up. This

ARK is DESTROYED BY
FIRE; TRIP TO AFRICA
HAS TO BE ABANDONED

Los Angeles, Calf, July 3.-The
Ark, a vessel constructed here by
Rev, /. e. Lewis. a negro, to trans
port a religious cult known as the
Church of the Living God. to Lii
IBERIA, Africa. has been destroyed
by fire on the tidelands of Termi-
nal island, near here, thus closing
the last chapter in the history of
the boat. which for years has at
tracted attention from residents
and tourists here.
Twelve years ago Lewis first be-
came attracted to the idea Of pill
grimage to Liberia. An attempt
was made to charter q vessel but
being unsuccessful, he suggested
to his congregation that the church
build vessel to carry the pros
pective pilgrims to distant Africa.
After five years spent in build
ing the boat, it was launched sew
eral days ago and rode the waves
just long enough to give the pastor
and his flock a glimpse of their
anticipated transport to the prom
iaed land" whereupon the unwleld-
ly hulk right promptly sank to the
bottom of the harbor,
A few days later the water
logged ark reappeared just as I'M
expectedly as she had disappeared,
and again visions OF the trip APP
peared for the church members.
But, so the story goes, the moor
ings of the ark were cut or be-
came loosened one night and the
current swept her into the harbor
channel. The next day passen-
ger steamer was halted by the
drifting hulk and the harbor de-
partment ordered it towed out of
the harbor and beached. ri.
came along the other night and
sealed the fate of the arl by
burning her to the water lir
1t is reported that the congre-
cation is now entering into nego-
tiations with the United States
shipping board regarding the ur-
chase of a government vessel,
which, if procured, win be placed
in commission by the "Liberian
Transportation company"
The ark, which measured about
1876 feet from stem to stern, was
built Of concrete and wood and
is said to have resembled barn
in appearance.

1t has not been found profitable
to prune or cut back sweet potato
vines, according to experiments
conducted by the New Mexico ex-
pertinent station In a two year
experiment It was found that the
smallest yields were obtained from
the plants that were most severely
pruned. The plants which were un-
pruned produced about three times
as much as the plants that vera
pruned back to twelve inches in
diameter and one-third more than
the plants that were pruned back
to thirty-six inches.
The pruning or cutting back OF
sweet potato vines Is tedious and
expensive operation, and these re-

from this disease can be materially
reduced If precautions are taken IN
selecting the proper kind OF soil,
and in irrigation so as to reduce
the soil moisture to minimum.
Experiments conducted at the New
Mexico experiment station have
shown that when the average capil-
larry moisture was below twelve per
cent, only two per cent Of the plants
wilted; and when II was higher
than twelve per cent. eighty-five
per cent Of the plants wilted. When
planting chile, select light to loamy
soil, and avoid adobe soils, as the
wilt is more destructive on the
heavy soil.
The New Mexico experiment
station has Just issued bulletin No.
.124, giving the results OF the im-
provement of the native chile. The
objects OF this investigation was to
produce a larger, smoother, more
tapering and shoulderless pod for
home and canning purposes. A pod
having these characteristics can be
easily and moro economically
peeled.

whether to let the work by con-
tract or to construct with forces in
government employ, and a thou
sand minor questions of admins
trative and engineering detail. All
of these problems were of nature
to provoke great variety of opinion
and in some cases obstinate con-
troversy Criticism of the methods
adopted and predictions of failure
filled the public press during all
but the last years of the construc-
ton period. Nevertheless, from the
time the United States took over
the property of the French com
pany in 1904 the work progressed
steadily and without interruption
until its successful completion ten
years later. Each problem was
solved as 1t arose, and OF all the
critics who at the time were so
loud in their dissent none is now
heard to question the wisdom of
those solutions. Criticism has been
refuted by the event. The canal
has been built and its success is
unqualified. 1t was completed
within the final estimates of 1908
and at the time originally contem-
plated Before the war accustomed
people to think lightly of billions
the cost was considered enormous,
but it was realized then, ana per-
haps even more clearly now, that
the work had been done both hon
estly and economically. The task
and its execution constitute an
of which the nation
has every reason to be proud The
thousands of strangers from all
corners of the earth who view each
year the completed canal and its
miraculously transformed terminal
ports carry away ineradicable inn
pressions of the engineering skill,
the administrative genius and the
industrial efficiency of the Ameri-
can people, to our immense gain in
prestige.
