to produce milk and cream much
more cheaply than it can be ship
ped from other states.
Milk production in Palm Beach
county increased more than 300 per
cent in the two years previous to
last January, the report asserts, and
a total of $4,000 worth of dairy
products was produced last year
while but $4,000 was produced in
the county in 1917, the year before
the quarantine was lifted from the
entire county.
Dade county, which was released
from quarantine in 1915, produced
milk and dairy products totalling
in value $706,277 for the year ended
June 80, 1922, according to figures
compiled by County Agent j. S.
Rainey. During the remaining six
months of last year there were 80
carloads and two boatloads of high
grade and purebred dairy cattle
shipped into the county.
The owner of a Well-known dairy
herd near Miami is said to have dis
tributed 25 or more purebred bulls
in his county during the last few
years.

ANNOY WEEVIL AND
MAKE MORE COTTON
is LATEST REMEDY

sALUDA. S. c.. April 1S.-The
theory that frequent disturbance OF
the boil weevil may retard its propa-
cation and activity is possibly
worthy of consideration, according
to B. B. Hare, FEDERAL crop statisti-
clan for South Carolina. after
study Of reports made to him by
cotton farmers throughout South
Carolina. Picking up squares, rapid
cultivation, poison, and destroying
stalks in the fall each had their
champions as methods Of increasing
the yield per acre, the reports
showed.
1--WE get the idea from each and
ALL" Mr.. Hare said, in a letter to his
crop reporters, that the more often
you cultivate. poison, or pick up
squares, the greater will be the
yields. Now since they all insist
that you do one or the other once a
week or oftener, or you do all within
the same week, and since it appears
that neither of these factors without
the presence Of the others adds very
much to the yields, do not the cir
cumstances and the facts brought
out in the investigation indicate
that more than passing considera.
ton be given to the idea that after
all the increased yields may be due
to constantly disturbing or annoying
the weevil? This conclusion IS
drawn because the highest elds re.
ported are found where farmers
were in the field at least three
times a week, blowing, picking up
squares or poisoning, and it is not
brought out anywhere that eithsI
contributes in any way to the in.
creased efficiency of the other, I'M
less it is to increase the annoyance
or disturbances of the weevil.
"It may be, that actual expert
ments would demonstrate to what
extent frequent disturbance of the
Weevil would have on its propaga-
ton and general activity, and to
what extent they would be reflected
in the yied of cotton. We do not
claim to have found a panacea for
weevil control, and our investigation
may prove to be of little value, yet
we suggest that the crop reporter
make studied observations during
the approaching season in order that
ne may De able 10 report QellHICe re-
suits or conclusions relative to the
idea above advanced, for it has been
decided to make similar, but a
mere thorough investigation some
time next fall.
Reports upon which Mr.. Hare's
conclusions were based were re
ceived from every county in South
Carolina, he said, but those from
Anderson, Oconee. Pickens, Spar
tanburg, Greenville and Cherokee
were eliminated from consideration
because infestation was not as Sc
we're in them as elsewhere in the
state.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IS.
A demand that the tariff commits
sion dismiss the application of GER
tain vegetable oil refiners to reope I
the vegetable oil schedule under
the flexible tariff section of tn
McCumber-F ordney law came here
today when w. w. Webb. of Haht

of the Georgia bureau of markets,
filed with President Harding ami
the tariff commission a protest o.
behalf of 100000 peanut growers o.

the Georgia Peanut Growers asso-
citation.
Messrs. Webb and Jackson ap-
pcared before Chairman Marvin, OF
the commission, and after present
ing their protest against further
tariff agitation at this time, re-
ceived a promise from him that BIZ
fore the vegetable oil case is dock
eted, if it is docketed at all, they
will be given opportunity to presen.
further testimony against any
change in the tariff.
IF the tariff commission dockets
the application for reducing the
vegetable oil duties fo~ a hearing"
reads the protest, they will stop Il
hundred thousand plows in the pea
nut fields of the south within the
next thirty days. We accepted the
Fordney-MCCumber measure as a
covenant between the government
and the farmers, guaranteeing us
four cents per pound duty on pea
nuts. and we have started in good
faith to plant over million acres
of peanuts this season"
THE filing Of the application 70

has frightened many farmers, aod
If it is docketed for a hearing l.
will stop the planting of peanuts for
this season, for every farmer knows
that he cannot raise peanuts with
out a protective tariff, and if our
protection is in doubt then We mus
abandon the crop.
I'VE want the application for re
opening the vegetable oil schedule
now on file dismissed and public
announcement made of it so the
farmer can proceed with safety. We
are planting approximately 100000
acres of peanuts in Alabama 225,-

'Lone Star" Hans Dies
With His Boots On, as He
WiShed-Won Many Bat
ties Against Odds

OMAHA, Neb, April 1S.-(By the
Associated Press) Fighting, smil-
ing, gray-haired old Lone Star"
Fred M. Hans, Indian fighter
frontier scout and the last of the
real two-gun "cross- arm draw ex-
perts, met death here last night
with his boots on" as he had
often said he desired.
But death did not come to him
on the field of battle, where he so
often had caced it, nor on the
wings of a bullet. He was crushed
to death in an elevator shaft at the
Omaha World Herald plant, where
he was night Waterman.
Lone Star" was caught by the
elevator when he attempted to move
the control lever from the outside
and the lift suddenly went upward.
The veteran tried to leap into it.,
but he had lost his old spring and
so he died.
Lone Star began his career as
plainsman at the age Of Is, when
he left home to search for broth
er kidnapped by Sioux Indians.
Fast With Pistol
He developed the 'cross-arm
draw until he was without a peer
and this skill he retained even in
his old age. He never touched a
trigger, but used his thumb to fire
his colt single action revolver, in
a fan-like action. He often declared
he could fire his single action colt
six times before anyone armed with
a modern automatic pistol could
fire half that many shots.
Hans broke into fame first in 1876
in the "hole in the walP' country,
Powder river, Wyoming, when, sin
gle-handed, he shot and killed
"Shacknasty" Jim and his two fell
low bandits. 1t was Lone Stars"
