CHINESE PROSPER IN JAVA
In a Way, Writer Says, They Are
crowdlng Out the HoIIanders
Who Are There.

The Chinese are the backbone Of
Java as the Hollanders are the brains,
says writer In Asia Magazine. In
Java there are no Chinese coolies.
The Chinese came TO succeed. Java
Is for them a holy place where all
escape starvation and none seem to
fail. They start humbly, Juggling their
little stalls with sweets or coconuts
on their backs, or carrying at each
end of poles that deeply groove their
shoulders heavy baskets filed with
penholders and teaspoons carved out
OF buffalo horns or picture frames out
OF teak wood. Later they grow more
prosperous and become the owners Of
stores In the small towns and cater
to Hollanders as well as natives. The
most successful open up quarters In
the Chinese retail section OF the big
ger cities. the favorite shopping places
for Dutch ladies. They come to Java
to stay. and generally they marry M
tive women. In the cities they have
accumulated much wealth. They own
hotels. houses and garages, and they
are beginning to make the Hollander
feel more or less a guest, renter In
his own colony.

grades highest, and consequently brings
the most money, is usually that having
the best natural green color. Hay
dealers can often tell from the color
whether hay was cut early, medium,
or late, and in their opinion the best
hay is the early cut hay and the
poorest that which was cut late.
The average hay grower, however,
In some sections at least, does not
agree with the terminal market theory
of quality as indicated by color. Many
producers prefer medium or late cut
hay, especially for horses, because 1t
is easier to cure and not as "washy"
as early cut hay.
In some markets size and weight
of bales is an important factor, since
there Is sometimes a difference of sew
eral dollars a ton In the same grade
of hay In small or large bales. The
reasons for the demand for certain
sizes and weights are numerous and
not always based on facts, 1t Is said.
However, as In many other kinds of
trading, 1t pays the seller to aim to
meet the desires of the buyer.
Undesirable Mixtures Cause Loss.
The production Of undesirable mix
lures for the market will cause loss
20 the producer as long as the market
does not want mixtures. Certain of
these are Disseminated against regard
less of their true nutritive or feed
ing value The producer may know
positively that certain mixtures are
palatable and contain more total d.
gestibie nutrients than the kinds now
In greatest demand, yet he is power
less to make feeders realize their value.
The introduction and general use OF
a new kind or mixture OF hay is a
very slow undertaking as In the case
OF clover and alfalfa.
About the only way to avoid trouble
with undesirable mixtures, says the
bulletin, is for the producer to cease
growing them and to produce only the
kind In demand in the markets to
which his hay is usually shipped.

SWEET POTATO CROP
DAMAGED BY WEEvIl
Outline of Successful Measures
of Eradication.
Review OF Work Done In Florida and
Georgia Where Situation Was
Worse--Use Of Clean Plant

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.
A method of rendering negligible the
heavy damage that would otherwise be
inflicted by the sweet-potato weevil
has been found by the United
States Department of Agriculture. A
review Of the work done In Florida
and Georgia is contained In depart
ment circular POI, bureau of ento.
mology, United States Department Of
Agriculture. Measures successful In
the eradication Of the pest in that sec.
tion are outlined briefly as follows:
The old field should be thoroughly
cleaned over at harvest, the vines be-
ing fed to stock or burned, and the
field hogged over.
The potatoes should be banked as
far away as possible from the old
field and from the site selected for the
next years potato field.
All potatoes on the farm should be
disposed of early.
No potato or plants from the old
crop should be used on the farm and
no draw-bed should be planted.
Old potato banks should be cleaned
as soon as empty.
Only draws from sources known to
be free from the weevil should be used.
The Georgla-Florida location was Sc
lected for the test because the situa-
tion there was serious, the section In
land, climatic conditions adverse. and
many growers unused to ways of CO.
operation. No more unfavorable con-
ditions, II was thought, were likely
to be encountered anywhere in the
country. All these, and other minor
however, and the department, in Its
circular, announces the following con-
clusions
THE results of the work offer con-
vincing proof that the same methods,
followed with painstaklng care, will
be successful in eradicating the sweet
potato weevil in almost any infested
locality where abundant wild food
plants do not offer a fresh and con-
tinuing source of new infestation.
Careful sorting Of the crop, the use of
clean planting stock, and an annual
change of location for the main plant
ing, even In a continuously infested
locality will reduce infestation Of the
tubers to practically negligible
quantity.
There is no more reason for al
lowing a sweet-pOtato crop to be de-
stroyed annually by weevils than there
is for letting the weeds take 1t, and
conscientious neighborhood effort in
the application of the principles that
have been outlined may free any dis
trict from heavy annual tax"

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
What to do with low-grade hay has
iong been a vexing problem to the hay
trade. Losses running into the thous-
ands of dollars annually have been suf-
fered by producers because of the DIFF
ficulty encountered in disposlng of hay
that is improperly prepared for mar
ket, or is of mixture that causes 1t
TO be regarded as of low grade.
In Department Bulletin OFT, Mar
keting Hay at Country Points" recent
ly issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the failure to
remedy this situation is ascribed to
two chief reasons: The producer and
the dealers do not yet agree as to what
constitutes quality In hay, and many
producers lack vital market lnforma-
tion regarding the preparation of hay
for terminal and consuming markets.
Color Counts Most.
Quality of hay Is at present In
dicated largely by its color, which

Although more expensive at the out

cause OF their much greater lasting
qualities, the forest service of the

Treated posts are good investment.
and their use where lasting woods are
scarce or expensive Is a sign Of sound
judgment In farm management.
The best treatment Is that which
results In the deepest penetration into
the wood with the least absorption OF
creosote. The butts of the posts
should be placed for one to two hours
in creosote heated to a temperature of
1s0 degrees to 220 degrees +. 1t is
important to treat the wood to height
of a foot above the proposed ground
line. In the southern states the entire
post should then be submerged into

In fattening steer the combined
operating expenses usually more than
equal the original purchase price Of
the feeder. The factors considered In
operating expenses are feed, labor,
building and equipment, interest, mar

usually constitutes about so per cent
of this expense. All the other items
are generally balanced by the manure
and pork credits.

Baltimore Golfer
Makes Hole In
One Stroke

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. z.
Baltimore has q member Of
the Hols-in- One Club.
Yesterday afternoon on the
Clifton Park links, George L.
Bussey set his feet, swung his
driver, yelled "Forer and
walked to the sixth hole,
where he found the ball nes-
Ting at the bottom Of the
cup.
The miracle Of golf had
happened.
The sixth is regularly q
225-yard hole, although at
present q temporary green IL
being used and the distance
is about 210 yards. The
main business Of q golfer
playing 1t Is to get his ball
safely across q water hazard
which has been reviled by
many 0 driver, who watched
his hopes splash into the
pond.
Bussey saw his ball sail
over the water, duck neatly
between the legs Of a man
putting on the green and dis
appear IN the direction Of the
hole. And the shout of the
other player told him what
had happened.
