He 'v' jwas-buried on Cumberland island, near jthat city, and his grave has since been s icared for by the Georgia chapter jf the Daughters of the American Revolution Traveling northeastward a column of grasshoppers 5 miles wide and 18 miles long is reported in northeastern New Mexico. Reports that the millions of :grasshoppers seem to spread .as they travel and also the appearance of smal ler bodies of grasshoppers in sections tof west Texas have caused fear of a general grasshoper pest in the south west,especially in Texas, western Okla homa and New Mexico. At Chattanooga over incoming trains "brought hundreds of veterans and visi tors to the twenty-third annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, Many of those who arrived first came to attend preliminary meetings. These sessions included a welcome meeting of the Confederate Memorial associa tion and the opening meeting of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Chat tanooga is in gala attire in honor of the momentous ocasion. Davis Walter, a farmer, was shot and killed by Jerrj Perdue near Haw kinsville, Ga. Perdue was shot through he thigh and W. H. Davis, a bystander, was shot in the neck, neither being wounded seriously. The killing is said to be the outcome of ill feeling Walk er's father death several months ago, - for. which Perdue was tried and ac quitted.

Felows, reached the ground in isafety at Salisbury, England, and step: iped from the machine just as an ex plosion of the gasoline tank wrecked it. The aeroplane was in easy flight over the outskirts of the town when suddenly the carburetor took fire. The strict censorship which the Ital ilan government has Imposed on all mews relating to the state of affairs ;in Trippoli and particularly with re- igard to the defeat of the Italian forces at Sidi Garba on May 16' has made it difficult to obtain exact information on the recent reverses in that territory, It has been learned, however, that the disaster at Sidi Garba was due to a well-laid plan of the Arabs in which Italian lost a thousand men. ;' Luther McCarty, white heavyweight hampion of the world, was knocked out in the first round in- Calgary, Alber , ta by Arthur Pelky. The outcome of the bout was the biggest surprise since James J. Jeff eries ' defeated Bob Fitz simmons for the heavyweight cham pionship. The men had just reached the center of the ring when Pelky land ed several stiff blows. The big heavy weight tottered and then fell. McCarty died thirty minutes after the fight from ,the blow that won Pelky the champion ship. . r The surplus of idle freight cars in ! the United States and Canada on May ,is was &u,z4, according to the Ameri can Railway Association.

Investigation of the armor plate situation was authorized by a resolu tion adopted by the senate. The naval affairs committee will meet to consider instituting a thorough inquiry into armor plate bids and contracts. Energetic action was taken by the French government against the anti military campaign in France. " " The French battleships Diderot and Justice called off Toulon, France" during maneuvers.

The amount is to be placed at ninety and will run for ten years: It is guar anteed by 38 per cent, of the customs receipts. The Mexican National bank is ' named as the representative of the bankers in the supervision of the dis bursements. The state railways of Belgium sus tained a net loss of a million dollars from r the ten days' strike for equal suffrage in April. The port of Ant werp lost 250,000 tons of trade in April as compared with the same pe riod last year, and 78. fewer vessels called during the strike. Peter Bradovitch, an insane, -Austri an, confined in the Southern Idaho in sane asylum at anckfoot, Idaho, killed his five roommates by beating them on the head with a table as they lay asleep. Bradovitch was committed to the asylum two years ago from the state penitentiary, where he was serv ing a life sentence for murder. An in vestigation of the killing of five pa tients was held and the asylum of ficials were exonerated from blame. According to the testimony the in stitution was overcrowded, making it necessary to keep several patients in one room. Testimony also was given tending to show that in the two years which Bradovitch had been confined he lhad never shown any signs of violence. Washington That no conviction can 'be secured under the provisions of the Webb- act, 4 was the statementof Judge E. T. San- ford in his charge to the federal grand jury at Knoxville, Tehn. . The Webb act was described as an. act that had no penalty, therefore, it was explained, no conviction could posibly be secured under its privisions. Its chief worth was started to be that it removed from interestate shippers of liquor the pro tection of federal legislation. In addition to conducting hearings and digesting the answers to questions which are to be propounded to bank ers and financial experts, the senate banking committee and currency com mittee will discuss numerous bills pro posed to reform the financial system of the country before a measure is presented to the senate. Government officials have received word of the death in London of Louis A. Gourdain, who swindled the public out of several large fortunes, which he squandered, and whose success drove him mad. Starting twenty-seven years ago as a clerk for the Louisiana State Lottery company, Gourdain or ganized a rival concern which netted him $750,000, it is estimated. The money came so fast his mind was af fected, and he was sent to a hospital for the insane, after driving through New Orleans in a bath robe and at tempting to make street speeches. Responsibility for price agreements among manufacturers furnishing ar mor plate for American .warships was placed directly upon the navy depart ment itself by Secretary Daniels. In a statement following his announcement of his intention to submit a plan for a government armor plant the secretary declared the policy of the department in dividing plate contracts .among all bidders at the lowest figures offered makes all pretense of competitive bidding to get the lower market price farce that cannot possibly deceive anyone acquainted with the facts." The so-called "patent monopoly" which threatened to prevent cut rates by retailers in all patented articles on the market was destroyed by a decis ion of the supreme court of the United States. The court held that the own ers of patents are not. given the right by the patent law to control the price at which retailers must sell to the con sumers. The decision in words applied only to a nerve tonic, for which a pat ent has been issued, but will control" all patented articles being, sold . under restrictions not to resell at cut rates. The court reversed the policy adopted in the formous "minograph" case. The practice of judges sitting in federal courts of appeals, even with the consent of the parties, to review, with other judges, cases they, have decided in the district courts was given a death blow by the supreme court . declaring the judgment of such a court void. Chief Justice White said the court of appeals so composed were no courts -at all under the statutes. The point was announced In a "suit over the validity of patents for turbine engines - such as are used in the navy.

Somebody else is getting the bulk of the money for nearly everything the-farmer grows. If will-power could be purchased like gasoline power, probably we would all be mighty personalities. Pushing the seeding season over in to the growing season is responsible (or many mortgages and some foreclos ures. The producers of this country some day will insist oh a square deal, and when they do they will come pretty near getting it. Your luck this season will depend very largely on the planning and your systematic work throughout the months of planting and harvest. Self-reliance is all right, but inde pendence is out of the question. No man gets along in life without the co operation and support of other men. MAKING YOUR DREAMS COUNT Drone Who Nods in Sun and. Lets World Rush by Him Has No Place In the Scheme of Things. To Members and Officials of the Farmers Union: : Dreamers are all right if they ma terialize their dreams into something tangible. Every great progress marked in the world's history was born in the dreams of some great thinker, who wrought his dream into concrete form. . Dreams are but the visions of. great souls building ships and railroads and sky scrapers and threshing machines and all the things going into the advance ment of humanity. The farmer boy following his sweat ing horse in the' furrow of mellow up turned earth dreams and dreams until life's horizon lifts and broadens for him. No available statistics are at : hand, but very many of the men who mark the outposts of the world's on ward progress dreamed in the furrow Something about the contact' with Mother Earth, the intimate association with .her moods and her brooding heart begets stamina, character, stability and deep-rooted purposefulness. So when some foppish young city chap with tailored suit, polished shoes and manicured nails sneers, at "the country bumpkin" don't let it disturb you, for your dreams made possible his bed of ease and wrought the city, the soft-cushioned automobiles and the comforts he enjoys. Moreover, you are worth a dozen of him in doing life's work, for your bent back, your-winkled and unkempt clothes, your homy hands and tanned skin result from doing the hard, the humble, but the absolutely necessary work to keep this old world turning In its orbit. But the dreamer drone who nods in the sun and lets the world ruslTby him has no place in the scheme of things. We have had hundreds of that sort in the Farmers' - Union, who sits down and dreams that everything will come to him without effort on his part. Then he wakes up and quits because, as some one has expressed it, "they ain't doing airything. -Dream, but turn your dream into something. C. 8. BARRETT. Chicago, 111. v Time to Clean Up. It you have been allowing theblack- berry bushes to grow up in confusion, thus making It difficult for anybody to get through the patch at picking-time, and at the same time, causing the bushes to be smothered out by the rank .growth, it's time for you to clean up the patch and keep the bushes " in nice, well-kept rows.

EVIL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE Maryland Experiment Emphasize Neo essity of Putting Manure on Land Without Delay. The Maryland station allowed eighty tons of manure to be exposed to the weather for one -year and .found that the amount was reduced to-twenty- seven tons at the end of the period, Professor Shutt 6f Canada allowed two tons of manure, containing 1.938 pounds of organic matter to lie ex posed during the ' four warmest months from April 29 to August 29 and found the amount reduced to 655 pounds of organic matter and that from 48.1 pounds to 27.7 pounds, or almost one-half was lost. . The experiments emphasize the ne cessity of putting the manure on the land as soon as possible. It is some- times piled up and allowed to heat thus destroying much of Its value. It mil at Tint 'ha fnrcntten that mnph nt tha value of manure and all forma of organic matter come from its rotting- while in contact with the soil, and if allowed to decay before it is gotten into the soil much of the benefit will be lost Crop residues, such as corn stalks, stubble, straw and all other forms of vegetable matter, should be turned back into the soil and hot burned, as is the common practice in some parts. Deep Garden Plowing. The roots of many flowers and vege tables reach -down; very deep In the soil if they have a chance.

The words "prime" and "fancy" have such an important meaning in thA ,ftTiftrf J TtK ft . n " " the matter of carcasses, more than in any qther phase of the poultry busi ness, appearance means a great deal. Color, condition and neatness are prime factors. Our American buyers want yellow skin and yellow legs. It is our busi ness to, produce only such; our Amer ican buyers want plumpness of car cass and tenderness of meat, and we are called upon to produce the same. These facts bring us home to our own American breeds, the Plymouth Rocks. the Wyandottes, and the Rhode Island Red8. They are ideal in our market requirements, and they must be en- couraged. Next in line, under the ,hed of meat . t . , . , , . fowls, belong the Asiatics, especially T . . . tZ., . J the u&ht Brahmas. The Langshans long to that(class,and.notwithstand Excellent Meat Type." ing that they are excellent as thT wls. and come nearer the flavor of the turkey than any other breed, they are not popular in our American mar kets from the fact that they dress a white skin, and being of dark plumage sfcow black pin feathers. It is the same with the Houdan and the Orping- n. Strange to say the American people object to a white skinned carcass in chickens, and at the same time they Elory over the turkey and the duck, bot.a of which are white skinned birds This prejudice for color of ekin is to be lamented, as many a notable breed is sacrified for a mere fad. in the growing of table poultry, aside from the color of skin, it must not be forgotten that flavor and plump ness are secured by food, tenderness by quick growth and lack of exercise. It is amusing to see the advocates of new breeds advertising the fact that tlieIr production is noted for the flavor OI ine meat and the desirable qualities of table poultry. The truth is that food and care alone are responsible Ior tnose conditions. We believe that luey can De commnea witn any breed- Feed the. purest of grains, furnish tidy Quarters for the fowls, keep them from overexercislng themselves, and fatten Quickly, and the carcasses will De nne m navor, tenderness and plumpness. For this reason, yard raised chickens are always more in demand than farm raised ones. A fowl at nine months of age, raised on a farm where it will have unlimited range, will not be of as good flavor, nor as tender as a yearling raised in yards and fed the choicest of foods - For success , in this branch of poul- try culture, it Is necessary to carefully study the food question as well as the sanitary laws. There is money in the raising of broilers and roasters, and if it is intended to gain a reputation for gut - eagea stock, tt is important that eoods be nroduced that. r nf ti,a nualitv. and that nl tractive appearance.

Artificial methods have long since passed: the experimental stage, and with the im proved machinery now available, the farmer can add a winter- prop that gradually may be built up to be one of the most extensive.

GETS COTTON CROP CHEAPLY Four Bales of 8taple Secured From f Three-Acre Field With Assistance of Bur Clover. - TThe clover and vetches are not only a great advantage to the corn-farmer. as many of our farmers seem to think. hut equally as good for the cotton farmer, writes J. A. Boone In the Pro gressive Farmer. By sowin the clover early in the faU, or better still in late summer at the last cultivation of the crops, it will make a good growth by the middle of April, at which time it should be turned, in or der to get the land ready for the cot ton crop. The cheapest cotton crop I ever grew was planted after bur clover, the first week In May. This clover was sown in August at the last cul tivation of cotton. By the middle of tne roiiowing April this clover had made a good growth. With two large horses and a disk harrow I thor- oughly ;ut to pieces this clover sod and then with a two-horse plow, this land was broken nine Inches deep. I then ran over the land. again with my disk harrow to finish cutting up all turf. Then with my lime spreader I broadcasted 500 pounds of ground rock phosphate per acre, which cost de- livered $9 per ton. Then I was ready for my smoothing harrow, after which I ran my rows and planted my cot ton. . At. the time of planting I put 200 pounds of my own mixing of fertilizer per acre, which cost me about 17 per ton. I put as a second application fifty pounds of top-dresser, which was all the fertilizer this cotton got The'three-acre field, which was very ordinary poor land, made me four bales, weighing about 500 pounds per bale. With the aid of a weeder and spring tooth harrow I was able to cultivate this cotton at a very small cost as very little hoe work was necessary. Attention of Colts' Feet ' Don't forget to give the colt's feet attention. Now is when the set of limbs is determined. There is always a reason for a poor set of limbs.
