ers as whole will pay about $780,
100000, the rest of the people will
pay in proportion, while the Govern
ment will receive as it's share of this
enormous tax less than $2O,0OO,OOO.
Yet, it is contended that this duty on
wool will help the American farmers.
l admit it will help the men whose
business is raising sheep, but the 9TH
er farmers of the country, those who
who do not grow wool but raise wheat
and corn and cotton, will pay the
bill--that is, most substantial part
of it-and for every wool grower
there are a thousand farmers who do
not raise sheep. l do not have in
mind the little farmer who raises cot
ton or wheat and has few sheep on
the side, but the men whose business
is growing sheep and who are only a
few in number when compared with
the great mass of farmers who will
pay SO large proportion of the tax
proposed in the pending measure.
$50 we find some of the proponents
of the pending measure maintaining
that it's enactment will breatly relieve
the agricultural situation in this coun-
try, because it raises the tax o. heir
products at the Custom House.. Per-
sonally | have never believed that
such tax would prove of any benefit
to the American farmer. We are told
how the bill is going to help the farm
er by an increased tax on wheat, by
increasing the tax on certain kinds of
cotton, neither of which will ever be
of any benefit to the farmer or put
one dollar in his pocket. This talk
may sound like music to the farmer,
but does The farmer realize that there
are also in this bill paragraphs tax
ing the necessities of life, necessities
that are vital to the farmer, the neces-
sites by which agriculture lives?
"When the present law was written
not only were all kinds of fertilizer,
which are imported into the United
States and are valuable in the develop
mcnt of agriculture, placed on the free
list, but binding twine for the man
who raises wheat in the West and ties
and bagging for the farmer whose
basic crop is cotton were likewise
placed on the free list. Under this bill
they propose to put these things back
nthe tax list, and there is no evil
dence that either of these industries
has suffered from outside competition
under existing law. Some Of the fer
tilizers coming into this market and
many of the commodities from which
fertilizers are made also will be tax
ed, under the proposed law. I am
confident that the farmer will not be
long in finding out these things. The
items I have cited are simply illustra-
tive. Others which concern the well
fare of agriculture can be found all
through the bill"

SOY BEANS POPULAR NEW CROP

Clemson College, June 20.-"Many
farmers are finding soy beans very
satisfactory substitute cash crop as

creases," says Pro C. P. Blackwell
in Extension Circular 36, "Soy Beans,'
which has just been published to meet
the demands for information on this
new crop for South Carolina farmers.
The circular, which was prepared by
Prof. G. p. Blackwell, Agronomist,
and S. l.. Jctfords, Specialists in
Pastures and Forage Crops, Discusses
briefly varieties, soil adaptation, soil
preparation, methods of planting, in
oculation, fertilizers, lining time of
planting, rate of seeding, methods Of
cultivation, time and methods Of har-
vesting, harvesters, etc.
The soy bean is safe crop, says
the circular, because it is easily cul-
tivated, and is subject to few diseases
and is bothered by few insect pests.
1t has many uses, and if there is no
market for the seed, it can be fed to
any kind of livestock, is good crop
to plow under for soil building, and
can even be used as food for people,

ARE VERY
DESTRUCTICE TO CHICKENS

Clemson College, June 20.--Sevcral
outbreaks of coccidiosis have been
reported to N. r. Mehrhof, Exten-
sion Poultry Specialist Coccidiosis
is disease produced by parasitic
organisms of microscopic size called
"coccidia." These parasitse are
widely distributed in nature and fire.
quently attack birds and the smaller
animals, such as rabbits, rats and
mice, and are very destructive to
young bi:'s.
Causat;on.--Many different species
of birds are attacked by coccidiosis.
The transmission of the contagion
from diseased to healthy birds occurs
by contamination of the food, water,
gravel, and other substances taken
into the digestive organs. The coc~
cidia multiply with great rapidity in
the intestines Of diseased birds, and
enormous numbers are discharged
with the droppings and are carried
on the birds feet to the feed troughs
and drinking fountains unless these
are we'll protected and of such form
that they cannot be reached by the
feet. Under any circumstances they
are spread over the floor of the
houses and the surface of the runs,
and many will be picked up with
gravel, grain, and other substances.
The germs are found in the part
of the small intcstines nearest the
gizzard, where they cause innama-
ton with redncss and thickening of
the intestinal wall. They are also
found in the caeca 1.-TWO blind
pouches of the intestine,) which are
frequently thickened and distended
with a wbitish, yellowish, or green
lsh-yellow, pasty mass. After two
or three weeks the disease may ex-
tend to the liver and lungs, where it
is recognized by whitish or yellow
ish spots or by large, cheesy nodules.
ymptons.-Adults fowls have con-
siderable powers Of resistance to
this parasite, and the disease with
them is more frequently seen in
chronic form. The systems are dull
ness, weakness, sleepiness, diarrhea,
and loss Of weight, although the
birds retain their appetities for a
considerable time. In many cases
the only symptoms are diarrhea, with
loss of weight, and after a time ap-
parant recovery, though the germs
continue to multiply in the intestine
and to be spread with the droppings
for several months afterwards. Fowls
affected in this manner may die
suddenly without previously showing
any serious symptoms. Young chicks
frequently void bloody droppins and
the bowls contents are bloody.
Treatment.-The most successful
treatment has been to put one third
teaspoonful Of catechu in each gall
lon of the water given the birds to
drink. Permanganate of potash, one
fourth Of an ounce to the gallon of
drinking water, is quite effective.
They should also be given an occas-
ional dose Of calomen (3-4 to / grain)

STOP FOSTERING IGNORANCE

NNE would think that the decision of the
~ Supreme Court on the Child Labor Law
might have informed the Senate of the diff
culties in the way of constitutional legisla-
tion by Congress on subjects reserved to the
States.
Senator Lodge and other leaders, how
ever, are now said to be urging the judiciary
Committee to report Federal anti -lynching
bill in spite of the fact that lynching is a
form of murder, and murder within the
territory of the States must be punished
according to State laws. The bill is sought
Sin order to keep the Negro vote in line"
for the fall elections.
1t may be that the Senators are aware Of
the constitutional difficulties in the way of
a Federal anti -lynching law and that they
are deliberately planning to fool the Negro
voters. They might be engaged in a more
profitable occupation, an occupation less
menacing to the preservation of our Federal
system.
The Negroes and every one else who Is
seeking to have Congress invade the juris-
diction of the States ought to be told that
the powers Of Congress are expressly defined
by the Constitution. and that the States
have delegated to it no power over child
labor or the labor of men or women or over
the punishment of crimes against the person
or property, save within the territory under
the exclusive jurisdiction Of the Federal
Government

SHAM VIGILANCE

vTvHE sensibilities of Council with, regard
j to the Mayors excellent appointment of
Thomas F. Armstrong as City Purchasing
Agent are in significant contrast to its pro-
cfastination in disposing of the case 1t Is
weeks since Mr.. Armstrong was named for
the position, and until yesterday he was
denied the opportunity to explain formally
his technical violation of the Sherman Anti
Trust Law.
The excuse offered by Council for this
0elay was the primary election. Doubtless
that event was indeed somewhat dsconcert-
ing to several members of the City Legisla-
ture. But the upheaval is now some ten
days past and the first intensity Of the
shock should by this time be dissipated.
The truth is that the opposition is aware
that Mr.. Armstrong can easily clear himself
but the temptations of playing tinhorn poll
tics were too keen to be resisted,
In this instance, however, the game Is
about at an end. Mr.. Armstrong is likely
to be confirmed after Council has proved to
its own satisfaction that it is vigilant
custodian of moral refinements. What the
general public thinks of this display of
watchdog tactics is subject on which ex-
battalion is unnecessary.

MORE EXPLANATION NEEDED

1OHN A. BELLS explanation of his ac-
u commodatng check transactions with H.
NJ. Kep.art as state Treasurer does not go
quite far enough.
It is revealed in the fourth section of the
report of Auditor General Lewis expert
accountants that the Treasurer of Allegheny
County drew checks on one of Mr.. Bells
banks, the Carnegie Trust Company. and
sent them to the State Treasurer in payment
Of taxes DUE that the State Treasurer did
not cash the checks at once, but handed
them over to Mr.. Bell and received in return
checks on the Colonial Trust Company
signed by Mr.. Bell in blank.
The amount of the Allegheny County pay
ments was carried on the books of the State
Treasurer as cash on hand, and it was
months before there was any record in the
books Of any bank thus far disclosed that
the money had been deposited to the credit
of the State. The total amount involved In
these transactions Is more than 81 200, 900,
and the largest amount held out of the
banks at any one time as leash on hand
was a little in excess of 100000. The
accountants say that the State has lost
$11 900 in interest by these transactions.
Now comes Mr.. Bell with the explanation
that Mr. kephart told him in 1913 that he
wanted to accumulate about S50O.00O as
"a war emergency fund and that in order
to do it he would like to have Mr.. Bells
checks in exchange for the checks drawn
by the Allegheny County Treasurer. Mr.
Bell says that as he assumed that Mr.. KEEP
hart was acting within his official authority
he did as he was requested.
But Mr.. Bell does not explain why he
signed the checks in blank and trusted Mr.
kephart to fill them out Mt such times and
for such sums as he thought best. So far
as is known, neither bank presidents nor
any one else is in the habit of signing checks
and permitting other persons to fill them out
at their discretion and present them for
payment when they were ready to do it,
This transaction needs great deal more
explanation than it has received. Not the
least important point that needs clearing up
IN the use to which the funds were put be.
tween the dates when Mr.. Kephart received
4 the checks from Allegheny County and the
dates when Mr.. Bells blank checks were
filed out and deposited in the banks.

A FRENCH REVOLUTION

FTNHE news that Paris is sweltering under
L temperature of "a degrees in the shade,
the hottest in May for 116 years. is coinci-
dent with the announcement that the new
French Ministry of Health and Social Fore.
sight Is conducting n fresh air campaign.
1t is fortunate that it's arguments are ad-
vanced at this meteorological crisis or some
thing like revolution might be in prospect.
French citizens are actually requested by
the Government to abandon the practice of
sleeping with the windows closed at night.
Who knows but that, under the new dis
pensation, the windows of railway carriages
and street cars may eventually be made
movable. At present they will open, as a
rule, partly on one side of the train. for no
German projectiles were ever so feared in
France as that deadly novelty current
of air.
