Russian Thistle

Conditions as we have them —On 12 different oeecasions the seed of Russian Thistle has been found in samples of commercial crop seed gsent to the Indiana Branch Seed Laboratory of the UU. S. Department of Agriculture, for examination. It has been found in these samples in amounts ranging from 1440 seeds in 16.-pounds of alfalfa, or enough ordinarily to sow an acre, up to 33,120 geeds in 16 pounds of alfaifa: Thas for in samples examined here, it has occurred in alfalfa seed onlyv. All the crop seed in which Rudsian Thistle seed was found was imported from other states. Furthermore the weed itself is known to' be growing and reproduecing itself in several localities in Indiana. , S What the seed is like —Russian Thistle 1s slightly larger than clover or alfalfa seed. Unless it has been rubbed off, the seed proper will be found to be capped by a thin covering which is simply the shrivelled and dried outer portion of the flower. i This helps to distribute the seed. The shape of the whole body is conical, color light to dark grey, greatest diameter oune-twelfth. of aw inch; height oane-twelth of an inch. Beneath this outer cover is the seed proper, also coue shaped and covered with a nearly transparent membrade through whieh the spirally coiled young plant within shows. Moisten and rub off the membrane and see the greenish embryo inside. The broad end cf the seed proper is hollowed out more or less. Color of the seed iligbt to dark gray, diameter and height one-sixjeenth of an inch. = Woat the plant is like —lt is not roally a thistle. It is a tumbleweed, a otose relation of the Lamb's Quarters ahd Pigweed, ahd like them an annual and a prolific producer of seeds, 10.000 to 300000 per plant. The leaves on yonug plants are about two inches long.slender, and green. As the plant, approaches maturity, the leaves fall off and are srslaced on the flowering branches by numerous half once spines; the plain branches, becomes bushy, two feet high and two to six feetin diameter; the outer branches are usually red at maturity. When dry, it breaks off at the ground and is ecarried hither and thither, far and wide, with every shifting Win_d, scattering its seeds as it goes. : : :

What is to be done?—l. Learn to know the seed and plant. 2. Examine seed carefully before buying, and buy seed free of Dodder and Russian Thistle. Plenty of such seed cad be had. 3, Pall up and destroy old plants that appear in the field. 4. [f infestation is exteunsive, encourage seeds to germinate, and destroy seeding; when and how this maygbe done depends on characteér of crofin the field. 5. Short rotations, involving eclover and well tended calgivated erops, annihilate millions or annual weeds of many kinds.

Bear in mind that to know what to look for, to be prepared to deal with it. and to ‘‘nip in the bud’’ this threat ening pest will save Indiana farmers hundreds of thousaundsiof dollars, : G M. Frien. Helen H. Henry Assistants in Agricultural Extension

Every Body Talks Fight

e big event for ludeépendence day this yvear s the Jeffries Johnson fight scheduled to take place in San Franeiseo, In some parts of the coun try the preachers and moralists have expressed themselves against the affair and eonsider it a disgrace to the nation’ especially because 1t is. to take place on the anniversary of the nation’s birth. Buat the wishes of the preachers and the moralists will not be respected and the fight will take place, It is to be the biggest event in the history of boxing inthe U. S,

and the great metropolitan newspapers are arranging to give it as much attention as they would a national convention of oue of the great political parties. They have employed dozens of noted men and no torious men as well to be on the ground and report the contest over their own signatures. The special writers will include literary men of fine descriptive nhil'ity _war correspondents, ex-pugi-liste, wrestlers and sporting writers, and eyvery phase of the great encounter will be ably portrayed. For the past six months the proposed fight has besn kept before the pablic eye, and as the day for it to take place approasches the interest increases The newspapers are aware of this fact and that explains the activity of the big papers in securing all kinds of talent to report it, Kven the man who is radically opposed to prize fighting is interested in the outcome and may suppress his indignation to the extent that he will read of the struggle for supremacy between the great black athlete and the white champion, when the paper containing the de tails reaches his hands. At this very moment there is a desire in his heart that the one or the other may triumph, and the chances are that he is in sympathy with the representative of his own race. lor some reason the impression prevails that prize fightg is a very brutal eport, and in scme cases there has been more or less brutality aad men have actoally been killed in the ring. So bave they been killed in the football field, on the base ball diamond, in auto races, in flying machines and in other sports which are tolerated. There is prejudice againstthe game. and for that reason it i 8 prohibited by law iu neariy all the states, although in many of them provigion is made for it uudera more polite name, legally known as boxing.. But in reality there is no difference between boxing and prize Afig'h’tivng;, The surroundings are similar and each of the principals aims to accnniplish the sams end—kuoek the block off his opponent or put him to eleep with a blow on the angle of the jaw or in the solar plexuas region. The one is called an exhibition and the other \a fight; a distiecetion without a ditlerence, except that the one is usually limited and the other goes to a finish So the eonclusion is that public sentiment is agaiust the game but the people are uui'ver,snlly mterzsted when a big one is pulled off, no matter where or when.—Columbia City Post. . :

Unreasonably High Prices

The New York Evening World of Saturday published & lengthy interview with W. [.. Douglas, the noted shoe manufacturer and ex-goveraor of Massachusetts, in which he sets forth the causes which in bisopinion have operated to produce the receut enormous increase in the cost of the necessities of life, He notices that this increase is world-wide, but that it is twice as great in this conntry as in Epgiand and Gepmany., Ib thegs two countries the average increase since 1896 in 30 per cent while in the United States it is 60 per cent, [t is found, algo, that in all other countries the inerzase is aboot 30 per cent. ! y

For the world wide increase Mr, Douglas finds a reason in the abuadance and consequent cheapening of the world's money standard. gold. For the greater excess in the United States he is compelled to seek some cause peculiar to this country, and the trusts which it has fostered. The facts upon whiech he bases this conclusion are stated lucidly and convincingly. . : . 1. Prices advanced most rapidly from 1867 to 1900 —the first three vears after the passage of the Dingley bill. During this period the prices of protected trust commodities rose with startling rapidity while the prices of farm produects and of most other mnon-protected oommodities rose comparitively slowly. Since 1900 the prices of farm products have risen more rapidly than have the prices of protected products. These facts indicate that the tariff was the principle cause of the advanee before 1900, while gold depreciatidn'was probably the principal cause of the advance gince 1900. :

Few persons, perhaps, realize how rapidly the prices of tarifl protected products rose after the passage of the Dingley law.. From July 1, 1897, to January 1, 1900. the cost of living advanced 31 per cent, or at the rate of nine per cent a year. This was during the era of trusts.” More trusts were formed during this than during any other similar period in our history. The following are a few examples: The price of wire nails rose from $136 a keg, in August 1898, to $3 53, in December. 1899 —l6O percent in 16 months. The price of barb wire rose from $2.65 per 100 Ibs. in August, 1897, to $4 13, in December, 1899—150 percent in two. years, The price of tin plate rose from $2.80 per box, in Novenmber, 1898, wheén the trust was formed, to $4 82, in Saptember, 1899—73 peréent in . ten months. The price of window glass rose from $1 75 a bex, in April, 1897, to $4 80 in April. 1901 —175 percent in four years. Isthis not a clear demonstration of the effect of the high tariflf on prices? The Dingley tarifl made the trusts put up their prices. But few,if any. trusts were formed during the three yvears of the com‘purmively low aud non-protective idmies of the Wilsoa bill. Prices ‘were low then. TFrusts and high ‘ prices came with the Dingley bill.

2.That there ig close conuection between high protective tariffs and bigh prices is evident from the course of prices under our last four tariff bills: As shown by statistics, duties averaged seven percent, and prices 16 percent lower, under the moderately low and less protective Wilson bill of 1894 than under the inordinately bigh and greatly protective McKinley bill of 1890, while duties averaged 25 percent and prices 23 percent hignher, under the Dingley highly protective' bill of 1897 than uuder the Wilson bill. Here is a reiarkable coincidence. - Partly through fear that the Republican party ' would keep its campaign pledge and rednece duties, at the extra gession of congress in 1909, the protected trust—and notably the steel—lowered prices materially in 1908 and early in 19089 They, how. ever, advanced prices rapidly as soon as it became evident that as a rule only superfluousi duties were being reduced and that these reduetions in nominal duties were being offset by advances in effective duties. -

The high tariff act of 1609, like its predecessors 0f1897 and 1880, did its work well—for the trusts. The work of a tariff is to raise prices, A tariff that would not raisé prices is a tariff that no trust or prospective trust would want. Avd we know how much the trusts wanted the high duties of the present tariff. ; . 3.The connection between high tar iff and high prices issshown clearly by the differences between prices in low aund in high tariff countries. . During the last twelve yearsan average of about 550,000,000 a year of dutiable goods were imported in which an average duty of about 47 percent ad valorem, or of $260,000,000 a year, was collected. Were our tariff duties levied mainly for reveunue this'tariff tax, great as it is,” would have increased the cost of living only gbou§s3 per capita, or §l4 per fainily. As, however, our duties are I¢vied much more for 'protection’ ‘than for revenue purposes, that is, ‘mainly to keep out foreign competing ‘goods and to enable our producers to ‘sell their goods at high prices—it is 'safe to say that the tariff tax collect-

el by the trusts and other protected interests was at least eight times

that collezted by the United States. This meauvs that, because of the taritf. the cost of liviug isabout $24 per capita, or $ll2 per family, higher thau it would otherwise be and that much bigher than it actually is in foreigu low tariff countries. The difference between prices here and in Euogland 18 more conspiciious. Sagar costs, 40 percent more here than in England, lunfact the sugar trust exports sugar and sells it for two cents a pouad less to foreigners than to Americans. Woolen goods cost nearly twice as miuch here as in Engtaud. Similar statements can be urade as to liven and silk goods aud also as to some kinds of. fine cotton goods. Moreover, millions of dollars worth of the products of our protected steel, lead, sugar, oil and other trusts are annually sold cheaper, much cheaper, to foreign than to home consumers. The manner in which our protective system is being takea advantage of is outragsous, and should be enougzh to condama it. e

Considaring thesasimpls and palapable facts, isit not plain that the first thing todo is to materially reduce all duties that bear heavily on duties except those for revenue purposes, which are necessarlily protective. If.this simple remedy were promptly applied, the cost of living would decline radically ; the purchasing power of wages and salaries would be greatly enhanced; and the consumption ot goods wonld be increased, :

This Man Brandels

The New York Sun, owned by J. P. Morgan, asks cemtemptuously, “Who is this man Brandels?” and Collier’'s Weekly answers: “Mr Brandels is the man who, more than any other, i 8 responsible for a system of saviogs bank insarance whieh puts Massachusetts abead of all other states in the effort to make old age easier for the poor. He is the man who, something over # vear ago won the Oregoun case in the Supreme court of the United States, aud thereby settled the principle that laboring. women may be protected by state law against long hours of employment. He -is the man who, only a few weeks ago: left the Ballinger investigation to run out to Illinois and win, before the supreine court, a victory similiar to the one in the Oregon case. He s the man who, in the well known gas controversey, defended the interests of Boston, which now has a better arrangement with her gas company than bas any other large city iu America. He is the man who went down to Cooper Union in New York City some years before the Metropolitan Traction Company failed, and explained in figures exactly how the {renzied finanece of that company would bring disaster. He i 8 the mau who, almost siugle-handed, conducted the campaign against the New Haven merger with the Boston and Maine. He is a man whose attacks are always on the predatory powerful, and who is ever ready in defense of the undefended many. He is, we -hope a man who has ahead of him loug years in which to arouse the fury of papers influenced ag the Sun is influenced.” - .

Popularity on Solid Foundatitn.

The Republican managers, it is said, are “fairly gritting their teeth’’ over the popularity of Governor Morshall’s administration of state affairs. It is said further that they are using a microscope in trying to find something in his administration to criticise or attack, But they might as well sfop the wear and tear on their teeth and put the microscope on the shelf. The governor told the people that his sole ambition was to be an old-fashioned coustitutional executive, and they know that he has made good —Rochester gentinel.

The exports of this fruit from Ceutral Anierica have trebled during! the last ten years and constitute about 80 per cent of all the bananas imported into.the United States. - - :

The banana in Hondaras grows wild in practically all parts of the coyntry up to an elevation of three thousand feet or more, but the induetry of cultivating this franit for export is confined to the rich, hot lands along the north coast and not extending farther inland at any point than fifty or seventy-five miles, Puerto Cortes, Ceiba and Trujillo are the shipping points. e
