Information Con * cerning Farmers, Tt has lmon announced by the Ag- ricnlturnl Department that the ‘•{Treeii bug” or spring grain aphis, which has done so Busch damage to wheal and other small grains in Tex­ as, Oklahoma and in a few' of 't? ^ smurhern counties of Kansas already is practically exterminated by its natural parasite, a very iniuute black fly! In Texas and Oklahoma the bug practically has disappeared through „the execution^ot the parasite. A report from southern Kansas received by the department to-day stated tha t a t least 50 per cent of the bags are now parasatized in all the infested flohlsin th a t section. George H. ITardner, who owns a large tract of Leigh county wood­ land between Sqbn.rksville and Jordan, Pa,, which is stocked with- rabbits, is calculating how many eotton-tada he will own when the gunning season opens in the fall, .Last- year Hardner started tils herd with fortysix bunnies, These, with the wild rabbits on ids tract, ber thirty pairs. The rabbits propn- , gated so rapidly that it is-estirjiatert th a t there are now o’fiuof them roam- ■iug a t large. 1 Calculating tha t a doe rabbit will rear four to Six litters a year, with - anywhere from, four ,to a, dozen ‘rabbits to the litter, Hardner figures that, if the mcrease'keeps up a t the present rate, he will have 15,360 rabbits next November, “ p u tth a t’s ■'whereit’s going to end,” he says, 1 ‘There’ll be a big killing When the November frosts come." The government is looking for from 500 to l, 0 f )0 hardy, industrious farmers to accept farms on a rather novel plan' for little or nothing. There are strong efforts being made by thegovernment now to settle up il-figable west. The call of volunteer tanners is part of this campaign- There fs about 75,000 acres of land, good farming land, much of i t al­ ready .under ditch and More being put there on the Uintah Indian .Reservation. This is the reserva­ tion from which a war party'of Utes recently broke away and went oil a spree through Wyoming and South . Dakota. The Indian^ do not wan t , land and will not farm it, sothe.gov- , moment is willing to ren t i t out to American farmers a t % cents per acre per year with « privilege of- wheat plant, hence the decline in prospect, Butfonr counties in the stal«now report wheat prospectant an average or better. Correspondents generally, note its unpromising con­ dition, aud in many sections of the state a large peruoutage of the ori­ ginal area seededwill be, or has been plowed up and pu t to other crops. The damage reported by th e Hessian fly and other insects is of little consequence. As the original area seeded to wheat was below a good average, and deducting from this the area th a t will be plowed up, Ohio’s wheat haryest this year will necessarily be far below a full aver? age “crop. , The unfavorable weather has seriously retarded farm work and spring crops will go in late. The township assessors ■ report show tha t last year the oats area Whs 1,365,131 acres. The corres­ pondents estimate tha t the area seeded to oats this year, compared with last, is 95) per cen t./o r 1,369,005) ac re s., These figures are probably n; ; - } l ° w , as u 0 doubt many correspon- *dents have based their estimates on the amount now sown, without •con­ sidering the many fields intended for Oats, but owing to the unfavor­ able weather conditions i t has been impossible to seed. A greater part of the plowed up wheat area will be sown to oats, although if thd season continuesbackward it willbe planted to corn. Clover has been damaged to some extent by the freezing weather. ' Dive stock generally is in good condition, and the losses during the the winter, have been very slight, Pastures are v try backward and the larmers are still feeding stock.

Are you MM spend ing your S f V money to r ad- V V vertteing in hap- V W hazard fashion J P >Si us if intended for charity, or do you adver­ tise for direct results? Did you ever stop to think liow your advertising can be made a source of profit to you,‘and how its value can be measured in d o lla r s and cents. If you tiave not, you are throwing money away. Advertising is a modern business necessity, but must be co n d u c ted on business principles. I f you are not satisfied with your advertising you should set aside a certain amount of money to be spent annually, and then carefully note the effect it has in in­ creasing your volume of busi­ ness; whether a id, ao or 30 per cent increase. If you watch this gain from year to you will become intensely in­ terested in your advertising, and how you can make it en­ large your business. If you try this method we believe you will not want to let a single issue of this paper go to press without something from your store.

There are over £ 0,000 public servant*, exclusive of presidential appointee*, under the direct supervision of tbe do- partineut a t the head of which I had tbe honor to temporarily preside. TUgy are a good, conscientious, painstaking body of men and -women, and yet if the treasury department were a pri­ vate enterprise every whit as much work could be accomplished with a reduction of one-third In number.and one-fourth In the salary of those re­ maining. This condition Is not to be charged to civil service rules and reg­ ulations, of which I most heartily ap­ prove, but to the Inherent nature of public service. Borne years ago while walking through Lincoln park, Chicago,'! no­ ticed n group of twenty-five of more men pushing lawn mowers. Stopping to make some Inquiry of a policeman, I Innocently asked why the city did not use mow'ovs drawn by horses. 1 shall long rpmemlievhis reply: “I guess yon don’t live injCbicogo, do you? How long do you think the city ad­ ministration would five if it mowed the park with horses?” The cornerstone of the city lmll in Philadelphia was laid on July 4, 1874, hut, the building was not completed until the first year of the present cen­ tury, The capltol at Albany was be­ gun In the sixties, it was far enough advanced to he the scene of an Inau­ gural hall In the seventies and wUs completed, all save the tower, for which the foundation was found in­ sufficient, in 185)9, In the meantime the tw o ‘great political partied alter­ nated In control, and I aui told in one or more instances four generation* performed work on the building, Tho appropriation for the , public building in Chicago Suns signed by. Grover Cleveland, and about sixty days ago I made final settlement and signed the draft for the last payment and was then able to answer public criticism because the work had pro- grossed so- slowly with record proof that It had heed about.os expeditiously built as most structures of its charac­ ter erected by- the government. The Harlem river, extending from the Hudson to ‘the East river, eight miles in length, was- dredged by the government.to a depth of fifteen feet in seventeen years. Now note a few instances of private enterprise. In 1904 the Pennsylvania railroad began the construction of twin tunnels through the tnud.beneath the Hudson river aud four tunnels extend­ ing these® under the city of New York and beneath the East river to Long.

These instances illustrate the natural, the necessary and- the inevitable differ­ ences between private enteiprlse j nd government work and might ho multi­ plied indefinitely. I do not know tlmt I can explain the reasons why theso differences must and always will exist better than to recite a verycommonplace experience, r received a telegrnni some days ago from the cashier of a little, bank, In which I am interested. It rend: “I am offered- 9^2,50. an acre for your East Boyer land. tVlmt shall I do?” I answered: “Ton know- better than i do. Do as you think best.” To this, he replied, "I think the land I*well sold.” These tel­ egrams were not even preserved. Bfit if I had been acting for the govern­ ment 1 would have had tbe land ad­ vertised for sale, I would have sent a commission to examine npd appraise It, I would have had not less than two subordinate officers of the department go through nil the papers and submit their, recommendations, I would then have rendered final decision, hut l would have been careful to preserve n complete record of everything* lest on some unhappy day after my retirement and perhaps after my demise an Inves­ tigating committee, appointed per­ chance by an adverse congrdSs, would moke Inquiry and, falling to find posi­ tive proof of honesty, would make a report filled with suggestions of doubt, and that wotild ho quite enough to brand my name with shame. My 1 sub­ ordinates took the same precautions and safeguard their reputations with ah equal amount of red tape whenever they sell nn old horse or wornout piece of furniture. It is the appropriate function of the government to safeguard* the individ­ ual nnd to See that the game of busi­ ness Is fairly played, that the cards are held above? the table and that'every­ body is given a square deal, t t is pot the appropriate fnuction of the govern­ ment to sit In the game. i LetUs BeYourWalter jvi'e never tire of helping others ■when they life for good job printing.
