Less than year later this is exactly

Louis has done as the way he has
done it. His opponents have sensed

pounds. If Pytlak, out of the line
up the last half of the 1885 season
when the Indians would up third,
can come back after his illness with
his old time speed and ability to
direct the powerful pitching staff,
ONeill's biggest problem will be
solved. Four backstops, Joe Becker.
Bob Garbark, Charlie (The Creek
George and Billy Sullivan are working
hard for the job should Pytlak fail,
but all of them are uncertainties.
Campbell. however. is almost Ger
tain to make comeback after his
near fatal illness of spinal meningitis
last season. Apparently in top form.
the iron-man Scot has been hitting
the ball even harder than he did
last season, when he left the game
with a 1925 batting average. With
Campbell rowing the outfleld with Earl
Ayerill and Joe Vosmik, the Indians
should have plenty speed and power.

Protege of Chesbro When
Youngster, Joe Stars in
Brief Pro Term.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

~ RLANDO, Fla, March g.
Quietly, confidently and pa
tiently Joe Bokina has gone
~ about the business of proving
himself just about the best pitching
rookie in this Washington training
camp.
Even before the 23-year-old Polish
lad had been seen under fire, Manager
Bucky Harris was getting around to
giving the kid his dues today. And
before Bucky was finished he intl-
mated that Bokina may have steady
Job on the Nationals nine-man slab
staff.
If so, it will be real tribute to
the powers of observation, determlna-
ton and patience belonging to Bokina.
The sandy-haired youngSter with the
semi laughing pan came to Or
lando unheralded and unsung. Ken
dali Chase, Reds Hutchinson and
Frank PeticolaS were the early RACES
while Bokina worked quietly in the
background.
When he got his chance he was
ready. Smoothly, unhurriedly, he
pitched himself into shape. He is hit
as lightly in batting practice as any
pitcher, rookie or veteran, but OF all
the assets he appears to possess, form
and control have made the greatest
impressions with Harris and President
Clark Griffith.
Even the bleary eyes of the base
ball scribes noticed the veteraniSh air
about Bokina He couldn't be the
kid who was picked up by Owner Joe
Cambria of Albany and who played in
only six games. That boy was sup
posed to lack polish.

japanese Beetles

L. H. Worthley, in charge Of Jap
anese Beetle quarantine enforcement for
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
reports that japanese beetles in large
numbers during 1885 spread more solid
ly over certain areas in the eastern part
of the United States.
The area now subject to plant quar-
antine regulations to keep this costly
pest of gardens, orchards, and fields from
overrunning new territory, lies in Con-
necticut, Delaware, Maine, New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Worthley stated that his depart
n1ent had found light infestations in 81
places where the pest had never been
found before; eight in North Carolina,
IL in Virginia, 4 in West Virginia, 9
in Ohio, in Maryland, and in Maine.
Beetle gains were recorded at Green
vile, S. c., where the number of beetles
trapped jumped from So compared with
two caught last year.
DIR. c. HI. Hadley, entomologist at
the japanese Beetle Laboratory, Moores-
town, New Jersey, at meeting Of the
Federated Shade Tree Commission ex-
pressed little hope that the japanese
beetle could be brought under control at
any near future date. DR.. Hadley told
of the new aluminium sulphate mixture
which has been developed as non-pois-
onous spray for early bearing fruit trees.

This will permit widespread use OF
electricity by fruit and vegetable growers
in all sections of the state.
Heretofore, it has been necessary for
growers to erect their own lines and pay
heavy charges for light and power IN

Pig production which increased last
fall will show further increase this
spring according to the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics. This increased pro-
duction Of pigs will be reflected in IN
creased hog slaughter, which will wipe
out the present deficit in pork by mid
summer.
An increase of about 81 per cent in
the fall pig crop of 1885 over that of
1884, a decrease of S per cent in the
combined spring and fall crop of 1885
from that of 1884, and prospective in
crease of "a per cent in the number of
sows to farrow in the spring of 1896
were shown in the Department of Agri-

December and June pig surveys, made
in cooperation with the Post Office De

fibres.
In China the 1885 cotton crop is
estimated at 2,I61, 600 bales of 478
pounds each. This compares with a
final estimate of 3,125,ooo bales in
1884.
This estimate indicates crop much
below consumption requirements of the
past two years. In Io34-35 mills in
China consumed 2,23s,ooo bales.
Stocks of cotton in Chinese mills are
low, and with the 1885 crop estimated
at 81 per cent less than the 1884 crop,
China may be compelled to increase pur-
chases of foreign cotton this year.

Farm Income

Agricultural gross income from farm
production for 1885 is estimated at $8,
100000, the largest in any other
year since 1880.
In 1884 it was $7,266,ooo,ooo and
in 1882 $s,337,ooo,ooo.
Cash income for 1885 production was
about $4,000, 100000, 10 per cent in
crease over 1884. The value of goods
retained for home consumption is esti-
mated at $I,2oo, 100000 or about is
per cent more than in 1884.
There was pronounced increase In
income from both crops and livestock
from 1884 to 1885.
In the southern states, the larger pro-
duction of cotton and tobacco and the
increased income for livestock offset the
lower prices for tobacco and cotton and
the total income shows an increase over
1884.
The Department of Agriculture re-
ports that the increased income of farm
ers in 1885 has been accompanied by
marked increases in purchases of COM
modities, both for the family and for
production. The increase has been most
noticeable in the case of clothing, house
furnishings, farm machinery, automobiles
and building materials. Retail sales by
general stores in towns under 5000 av-
eraged 70 per cent above 1884.
Increases in rural purchasing power
have contributed about 20 per cent Of
the industrial Improvement, according to
a statement made by the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce.
The figures of the department show
that from 1890 to the first quarter of
1888, farm cash income dropped 81 per
cent, and rural retail sales fell 81 per
cent.
From the bottom of the depression to
the present time, farm cash income has
advanced Sc per cent and rural retail
sales 90 per cent.

OrganiSation
With the invention of the automo-
bile, the National Grange commenced
an agitation for Highway Safety and
for the protection of the rights of all
who use the highways. In 1928, in
cooperation with the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce, and the
Highway Educational Board, a High
way Safety Contest was started for the
purpose of interesting the Oranges of
the nation, and especially our younger
members in the problems of Highway
Safety. The first prize was free trip
to the annual session of the National
Grange. A number of national prizes
were also offered, and in addition, one
silver and three bronze medals were
given to the best essay writer in each
state.
The results have been worthwhile.
Eight thousand Oranges have considered
the problem Of Highway Safety in their
regular Grange meetings. Hundreds of
thousands of people have heard pro-
grams dealing with the subject; but
more important, boys and girls have been
brought face to face with the serious
problem of safety on our highways.
