Rains have fallen in all parts of the
county this week relieving somewhat
rather critical situation. 1t may
cause few more fruit to drop, but
the seriousness of the recent drought
is over. Keep the cutivator going,

please communicate with me as soon
as possible. We want to arrange meet

part Of the county.

and good glasses.
Watch for the rust mite on the
young fruit. 1t is likely to show up
at any time now until June, although
heavy rains will lessen it's chance.
Spray with lime sulphur 40.
| expect that about the third or
fourth week in May will be about the
right time to spray for white fly and
scale. Spray with oil emulsion as
directed on the barrel, plus 2 or 215
pounds of dry soda sulphur. which
can be added if the rust mite or other
insects of that nature are present.
Do not stop spraying the watermel
onS with Bordeaux because they are
nearing maturity. Anthracnose travels
quickly, during rainy or damp wealth
er. so keep up the Bordeaux until
shipping is we'll under way.
1t is best to cultivate the corn at
the stage it is now in, with a planet
Junior 10 tooth. with which you are
not so likely to tear the surface roots
due TO the recent rains. When the
corn is in tassel, give about so pounds
of nitrate of soda to an acre, and cul-
tivate in. This insures a good setting
of the grain.
Do not let the bud worm eat up the
corn. either when it is young or when
it is tasseling. Dust with arsenate

PEAS INSTEAD OF SHOT
NIiss:ssippian Had Way to Save
Cows That Insist on Trcspassing
on Railroad Tracks.

Following is a copy of a letter
which J. f. FARRELL, of the Santa Fe,
tucked away in his files during the
time he was connected with the bu-
reau of suggestions and complaints of
the United States railroad administra-
ton:
Lumbarton. Miss. Dec. 9, 1918.
Mr.. W. G. McAdoo. Washington.
Dear Sir: Account there being so
many cows killed by the railroads and
the great waste caused by this. and
the expense to the railroads, seems
there could be some means to prevent
so much of this. I have an idea I
would like to submit to you which
seems to me would be practical Ny
idea is to place an automatic shotgun
securely fastened in a box and the
box fastened to the pilot in the center
of the track, the shells to be loaded
with peas instead Of shot. a cord run
ming over rollers from the engineer
seat to the trigger of the gun, so that
when COW gets on the track he can
let her have load of peas, which will
put move on her when the whistle
fails, these boxes could be made in
the railroad shops and the price of
one fine COW would pay for the auto
matte gun. I don't know If this is
practice Bile. but seems to me it would
be and if so. it would save the railroads
a lot of money and also prevent a
great waste.
Thanking you to look over the en-
closed sketch,
Yours truly,
tsigned) c. MOODY.

This week a student from the high
school turned up at the city hall with
a requisition for six catfish. Mrs.
K4ene and the student sailed forth to
ensnare and capture them. Armed
only with a small saucepan as fish

fish are as agile as they are hungry,

SHOWING A SLIGHT INCREASE
Both Freight and Pass niger Business
Is More Favorable.

Freight business, which was very
light during the latter part of 1921,
is showing a slight increase since the
first of the year, according to reports.
In local business, the Union Pacific
reports an increase in flour shipments
during the past few days. with some
other lines showing a slight tendency
to come back to life. Both the Union
Pacific and Rock Island report heavy
shipments OF fruit from the west for
some time. with oranges from Cali
fornia on the increase recently. The
Rock Island reports shipments OF
from ninety to one hundred cars of
fruit daily from that direction.
Passenger business IS also showing
up a little more favorably than it was
before the holidays, especially the
tourist kind. The Santa F'e is running
one or two extra sections daily to
California while both the Rock Island
and Union Pacific report a heavy
business to the coast. Short haul
business from Florida bound visitors
is also much in evidence, representa-
tives of the Topeka railroads say.

TRAVEL is GROWING SAFER
Danger to Life Less Than One-Third
What 1t Was in 1899.

OsAu&CH W L41lC 4AAlAH OuC-
What 1t Was in 1899.
The publicity committee of the
safety section of the American Rail-
way association, of which Isiah Hale,
safety superintendent of the Santa
Fe, is chairman, has compiled from
the records of the interstate commerce
commission some interesting statistics
which show that railway travel is
re- pidly growing more safe.
Thirty years ago, the average
American citizen took eight annual
railway journeys, now they take
twelve. Then they rode twenty-four
miles each trip, now they travel thirty
eight miles. notwithstanding they
ride half as many more times now,
half again farther east trip and doubt
less spend half as much more time in
railway travel, yet the danger to their
lives is less than half as great as it
used to be.
If one has ridden once in the last
thirty-three years, their chances of
being killed was one in 91,000,00O.
Or, if they have taken one trip each
year during that period, they came as
near losing their life as one is near
to 2.760,000. One ride taken last
year imposed a hazard on each life of
only one in 5,673.000. and on their
twelve customary journeys they were
as far from jeopardy as 473,000 is
greater than one
Altogether, the railroads of the
United States carried in 1920 about
1900, 100000 passengers, with one
killed for each group of 5,673,0O0 carr
ried, while in a total of 472,000,0O0
people carried in 1883, the death rate
was one in 1,523,OOO. The danger to
life of railway travellers in 1920 was
therefore less than one-third of what
it was in 1899, most of the reduction
accruing since 1907. To be sure there
have been very bad years and excep-
tionally good years, but the general
trend .thruout the whole period has
been decidedly towards the increasing
sa fetv of the travelling public.

Service on this line now consists

With the installation of a second

The line is forty-six miles long and
more than half of the distance, or APP
proximately twenty eight miles, have
been improved in this manner, with
more work being carried on at the

No More wooden Dining Cars.

The management of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad system will in the near
future place orders for the construc-
ton of twenty additional all-steel din
ing cars of the largest size and most
modern type and equipment. The new
cars will not only make it possible to
meet the public demand for increased
dining car service but will, immedi-
ately upon their completion, permit
the retirement of all remaining wood
en- dining cars in use on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. They will, therefore,
constitute another important step
forward toward all-steel passenger
train equipment. Arrangements will
be made to push the construction of
the new cars as rapidly as possible
and it is expected to have them in
service by spring.
