This. , however. Is tbe situation which confronts us as a nation.— From j the Report of the Eastern Engl- , I neers' Arbitration Board (1812) signed by Charles R. Van Hlse. Oscar Btrmua, Frederick N. Judson, Albert 8haw, Otto N. Eld- , Uts and Daniel WQlard. 0 Aa a result of the demands for more wages which the train service employes of the railroads have been pressing upon the transportation lines, the country la face to face with the possibility of the greatest strike and the most serious Industrial catastrophe In Its history. The engineers, conductors, firemen and on practically all the railroad lines have voted to place their entire Interests In charge of a few leaders within their organizations, and to give these leaders authority to call , strike If they wish to do so. What such a strike would mean to 1 the American people cannot be set : forth In mere facts and figures. It can be dimly Imagined by. those who realwhat an Intimate and vital part transportation plays In every Industrial activity of the country. Cities Would Fee# Starvation. There 1b scarcely a person In any part of tbe land who would not be Im- ' mediately affected If the millions of turning wheels on our nearly three hundred thousand miles of rail way were to atop for a single day. If the tie-up continued for a week, the to the Industry of the country would be greater than that caused by any panic of recent history. To the big cities of the country, and particularly to the cities of the eastern seaboard, It would mean a cutting off of food supplies that would place the In- ■ habitants virtually In a state of siege. In the case of many food products these cities do not carry on hand a : stock sufficient to feed their people for more than a week, and .1° the case of some, such ss mflk and fresh vege- ' tables, supplies are rebanished dally. The stoppage of transportation tbere- ' fore, would mean suffering and want ! to these dty dwellers, and If continued : for long would threaten many of them with actual starvation. Vast Lou to Farmer*. To the farmers of the country a gent eral railroad strike would be a cafas- " trophe. only less serious. Cut off from his market, the farmer could not move bis produce, and tbe price of grain and other staples would be quickly cut In two. while the market value of more perishable articles would disappear entirely. The strike would make It extremely difficult to harvest crop* In i P many sections It would make tbe dls n posal of the crops Impossible, and i would Inflict looses amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars upon tbe : farmers of the country. i The great Industrial plants of the ! country would soon be forced to close '• | down following the declaration of a " strike because they could not obtain " | supplies needed for tbelr operation, nor I could they ship tbelr finished products to market. Their plants would soon ' be Idle, and millions of men would be 1 ' thrown out of work. ! With the Income of practically I every clnss of citizens either serlj ously cut down or suspended entire 1 ! ly, merchants would transact Uttle business, because there would be few ; purchasers. In short, the Industrial j activities of the whole country would be Virtually palsied from the moment r the railroads ceased to operate. The Injury to the railway companies and to the striking employes would be enormoos, but It would be infinitesimal compared wit£ the staggering IdW that would fall upon tbe general public of : HIGHEST WAGES, rd LOWEST RATES. ig American railroads today pay the highest wages In the world, n oat of the lowest rates In the world, after having set down to capital account the lowest capn. ttaliaatlon per mile of all great *• countries of the world. No other occupation and no other em- " 0oy er of labor In the country can match this record.— JsmafJ.

He learned tha of the Fly, that the «gp hatch tn the late fall, and that the yonng must hare tender young wheat plants upon which to faed and deposit themselves, else ;they die. Ftball} -Hi Farmers' Bulletin 640, at the TL (• Department of Agriculture, fa read the following statement: "All practical mearardd.Ml Setobat the fly must necessarily fa la the nature of p reran tattaA» Itoking (X) to the elimination at tho pest in the young ,plaat4 Jfl the fall, and (S) to the increasing at as vigor of the youjtg pleats in - order to seable them tS-fafaUr-sot the ta root's efforts whei placet.

Ia the same bulletin, he found a dls eusslon of tha value of setae quick ectlag fertilizer as e preventive measure. The second statement wii the following: "The application bf«e«c»el of some quick acting fertilizer containing a large percentage of phosphate (phosphorus) made as .soon as general infestation 1* apparent will cause the planU to tiller more freely and give them sufficient ▼Igor to withstand the winter and thus . increase the number of healthy stems the following spring. . . . While it may seem far fetched' to bring forward as a propreventive measure the enrichment of the soil, a fertile soil will

produce plants that will withstand _ with little Injury attacks that will prove disastrous to plants growing on an impoverished or thin soil. ... It Is also on the thin or , Impoverished- soils that the difflfulty of sowing late enough to evade the fall attack and at the „ same time secure a growth sufficient to withstand the winter is s' encountered, and whatever can bo done to obviate this difficulty will p constitute a preventive measure." "Mary, I've not only found out about ~ ■ the Hessian Fly, but Fro found opt , t how the Government advises that the 1 pest be combatted. and iTn going to 1 get a supply or these bulletins and Dgt the proposition ta> to tha tanpiFf Ul s this community," said Parses raff; •, .
