RAIL EQUIPMENT IS SUNSERV|CEABLE.
 STR|KERSASSERT
Chiefs of Roads Claim Wash ington Conference Mere Labor Politics" and
 "Strike Psychology"
By Associated Press

New York, August 5.-Both sides in the rail controversy today claimed to see impending victory in the con- ference of national officers of the engineers, trainmen, enginemen and firemen's unions, and B. M. Jewell, head of the shopcrsfts, with federal executives at Washington. The eastern strike committee inc terpretcd the conference as proof that equipments of the railroads was becoming so unserviceabls as to jus tify engineers, firemen and trainmen In protesting that the lives of crews and passengers were being sndan gcred.
 Rail chiefs characterized the Washington session as "the workings of strike psychology and labor poii- tics"
 Renews Hopes Mechanics continued today to flock to employment agencies. 1t was reported. although road officials saw a decrease In the rumbSrs This explained, was because the widely hersided conference at Washington had renewed the hope of former en- plcyes that thes would return to their jcbe with seniority riEhts up- impaired if they remained on strike . while longer.
 None of the roads in this district today reported having sent any sddi- tional men to the coai-carryinK southern roads, to whom over loo machinists and boilermakers were sent yesterday. Employment agencies n- ~-t t~s l. Al. = that nearby shops were 50 well manned that the choice of employ ment on southern roads would be of fered to future applicants.
 Several roads reported that the coal situation has become SO serious as to almost overshadow the shsp- crafts strike.

HAS TWENTY YEARS OF LIFE
Coffee Tree Can Be Rolled Upon to
ssar Only for About That Length
o. Of Time. g.

Coffee generally Is spoken Of as a
berry or bean, but that part of the
coffee tree that we use lis really the
seed. The trees grow naturally to a
height Of from twenty TO thirty feet,
but this natural growth is checked by
the growers, who keep the trees as low
az I'VE feet. The cutting does not in
juFe the tree and it Is far more con-
venient to gather the fruit.
The coffee tree begins to bear when
1t - about three years old, and it con-
tinuss for about twenty years, the
singular fact about it being often no.
ticeable that the fresh blossom and
the ripened fruit will appear on the
same tree at the same time.
The fruit Of the coffee tree is round
and red and looks like our cherries,
and, being sweet to the taste, Is eaten
by the natives as we cat cherries.
Each berry contains two seeds-the
beans with which we are familiar-in-
closed in a skin, with their fat sides
together. The meat OF the fruit Is
valueless, SO when the fruit lis gathered
1t is dried SO the seeds may be easily
removed. Il y

il determined by the arsenic content,
usually expressed il terms Of arsenic
oxide. In addition there are certain
physical and chemical properties which
have an important bearing on the use
of all arsenical insecticides. The
federal insecticides law, as well as the
North Dakota law, sets definite stan
dards for Paris green and lead arsen-
ate end these standards are generally
followed by most manufacturers OF
insecticides, DR.. Webster pointed out.
Dr. Webster has given out the fol-
lowing description of various poisons:
Paris green usually contains about
IS per cent arsenic oxide. It must
have not less than so per cent. Paris
green acts quickly on insects. It has
two disadvantages, it does not hold
up well in suspension in water and it
frequently burns foliage. There is
little danger when applied to potato
foliage,
Lead arsenate paste usually con-
tains about Is per cent arsenic oxide.
1t must contain not less than 12h per
cent. The paste is about half water.
Lead arsenate powder contains about
80 per cent oxide. Many brands of lead
arsenate powder are now put out in
an extremely fine physical condition.
Lead arsenate acts more slowly than
Paris green upon insects, but it adj
heres much better to foliage.
calcium arsenate contains about 40
per cent arsenic oxide. It is a some
what less stable than lead arsenate
and consequently acts more quickly
on insects. 1t may be used with safety
on potato foliage for the Colorado
There is no danger Of burning
tender foliage"

STATIONS FOR GRAIN GRADING

The federal department of agricul-
ture in cooperation with the agricul-
tural extension division of North OAK
ota and South Dakota and Minnesota
plans to scatter grain grading stations
or laboratories over these three states
this fall, according to announcement
by Prof. Gordon w. Randlett of the
North Dakota College today. The
stations are to be a part of a "know
your W grain" campaign. They
will be merely for the information of
the farmers and grades set by. them
will not be official.
Plans are to establish 10 stations in
connection with county agent offices
in each of the states. The farmers
may send their grain to these stations
for grading any time between Aug. l
and Nov. /.
Two schools will open about the
middle of July to teach the county
agents, or their representatives who
will carry on grading work, how to
use the equipment which the govern
ment will allot them. The one in Far
go will take car Of the 20 prospective
graders for Minnesota and North OAK
ota while one in Bookings, s. D., will
be for the use of agents in that state.
A representative of the bureau of mar
kets will act as instructor in each
case. The course will last six days.
A bureau Of markets man will also
be allotted to each Of the states during
the three months in which the stations
are operating to supervise the work.
Farmers will be asked to secure
samples of grain which arr as nearly
as possible representative Of the gen.
eral u of their harvest. If the plan
works out successfully it is hoped to
extend it next year, Mr.. Randlett add
ed. =
Ten scattered counties have been
chosen, tentatively, in North Dakota,
but possible changes will occur.
"The county agents in each of the
counties chosen will be equipped with
adequate apparatus and a laboratory
to which samples of wheat may be
brought to be tested for dockage, test
weight per measured bushel, such
foreign material as may remain after
the removal OF dockage,w which includes
other grains, bariey, rye, ETC. King
heads, corn cookie and wild peas and
wheats Of all classes, also damag-
ed grain and moisture where it is a
problem" according to the United
States Department of agriculture
