SOLID SOUTH New Orleans Opposed as Pan- ama Exposition City. | TEXAS FAVORS SAN FRANCISCO Decided Falling Off In Enthusiasts In Lone Star State as Evidenced by I Articles Appearing In Fapers of El Paso and San Antonio—Swing In Line For the California City as the Logical Site. ‘While New Orleans is industrious- ly claiming the endorsement of the Miesissippi valley region and the middle west it is allowing the *“solid south” to waver in its supposed al- legiance and slip away. A few days ago word came from San Antonio, Tex., that there was a decided falling off of New Orleans cxposition enthusiasts in that city owing to the greed of the Crescent City in attempting to secure the Na- tional Bankers’ convention for next year, after San Antonio had put in a bid for their entertainment. Such sction was not considered neighborly, especially after the Texas city had been asked to support New Orleans in its struggle for exposition honors. Now El Paso, Tex., has apparently swung Into line for San Francisco as against New Orleans as the log- ical site for the Panama exposition, judging by the following in the EI Paso Herald of Oct. 12: “El Paso’s Interest as to the loca- tlon of the Panama exposition of 1915 all lies with San Francisco as against New Orleans. As one commentator says: ‘There never was an exposi- tion so successful as that at Seattle, and there never was one so forlorn a failure as that at Jamestown, Va., i notwithstanding the fact that half the population of the country is with- in a day’s or a night’s ride of James- town.’ An exposition at San Fran- cisco will promote the development of the west and that is what we are after.” Sometime ago New Orleans secured an endorsement in St. Louls and that success appears to have induced the belief among the Crescent City boost- ers that the entire middle west was only waiting for an invitation to climb on the New Orleans band wagon. Next New Orleans announeced that Omaha was for it, but the announce- ment was premature. In its hurry to report result the New Orleans bu- reau at Omaha sent broadcast over the oountry that New Orleans had been endorsed as the exposition city by the Commercial club, the largest and most influential orgaunization of business men there. Immediately the Commercial club held a meseting, repudiated the alleg- ed endorsement of New Orleans and endorsed San Francisco by an over- whelming vote. The city council cf Omaha, by unanimous vote, passed a resolution also emdorsing San Fran- cisco. $8till asserting title to the sympathy and influence of the entire middle west seetion, the New Orleans boost- ers descended upon Chicago and re- quested an endorsement. The re- quest was politely but firmly refused, but New Orleans, nothing daunted, oontinued to ‘“claim” Chicago’s sup- port, confident in the belief that the endorsement would eome later. But on Oct. T Chicago showed unmistak- ably where she stood in the exposi- tion fight when the National Business League of America adopted a resolu- tion, which after setting forth the ad- vantages of San Francisco, conclud- ed, “That San Francisco be, and hereby is, strongly recommended as the proper site for the proposed ex- position.” New Orleans suffered another re- buff when she sought the endorse- ment of Washington, D. C. Washing- ton refused, whereupon the New Or- leans promoters dismissed the sub- ject with the remark that Washing- ton did not count anyway. New Orleans “hopes” to raise about $8,000,000 for her proposed exposi- tion, which will be entirely inade- quate for so great an undertaking, but Senator Foster of Louisiana seeks to minimize the importance of having sufficient funds to insure the success of the enterprise. Admitting that San Francisco will have more than twice as much money for expo- sition purposes as New Orleans, he pleads that “it would be mean and wnfair for congress to take that fact into eonsideration.” Callfornia Solid For Exposition. Bupporters of San Francisco’s claim to the Panama exposition in 1916 are confident that an overwhelming dis- play of exposition funds will win gov- ernment recognition to the falr it is proposed to hold on the Pacific coast. If California is as solidly united on this project as the utterances of Cali- fornia editors would indicate the rep- resentatives of that state will appear before congress this winter with a fund of $17,500,000 raised through private subscription, city bonds and & state tax. It may be that New Orleans will make some announcement of a heavy raise at the last moment, but the Pa- clfic coast is disposed to believe that Hs showing will overshadow anything New Orleans can do in the way of furaishing the sinews of war and ex- position.—Bisbee (Ariz.) Miner. - — IS WAVERING : - . - _— ++++++++++++++++: Identification of the * L e * Canada Thistle. * R % * By W. L. Oswald, Division of ¥ 5 Botany and Plant Pathology, * ; Minnesota Farm School. * ol R R The Canada Thistie is fast becoming the worst weed with which the Minne- sota farmer has to contend. This weed should be exterminated when it first appears on the field. It becomes neces- sary, then, for the farmer to know this plant when he sees it. A numer of different kinds of this- tles are commonly found in this state. Some of the most common are the fol- lowing: Bull Thistle, Tall Roadside Thistle, Field Thistle, Swamp Thistle and Canada Thistle. The first four are all biennials; that is, they live for but two years. The first year they merely form a cluster of leaves on the ground, and a large tap root, which partially forms the food for the nexti year’s growth. The next year the flow- ering stalk is sent up, and in the fall the plant seeds and then dies. The Canada Thistle is a perennial; that is, it lives from year to year, seeding each year. This thistle not only propagates itself by seed. but also by running un- der-ground root-stalks, which are com- monly but incorrectly called roots. The stalk of the Canada Thistle is more slender than the other thistles, and the leaves are uneven or ruffled, with the margin irregularly toothed and very spiny; some of the spines are often three-eighths of an inch long. The flowers are purple in color, and CANADA THISTLE. sometimes nearly white. The flower- ing heads are much smaller than those of the Bull Thistle and other common thistles. These heads are from one-half to seven-eighths of an inch in diameter and are clustered at the ends of the branches. Owing to the fact that the Canada ‘thistles spread by under-ground stems, they are generally found on the field in patches. These patches be- come larger each year, unless taken care of. The under-ground root-stalks have been found as deep as two feet under the ground, and seldom are they less than four inches below the sur- face. The depths under ground are determined mostly by the nature of the soil. The seed of the Canada Thistle is smooth, brown, and about one-eighth of an inch in length. It is nearly BULL THISTLE. _——— cylindrical in shape. This seed is much smaller than the seed of the oth- er thistles common in this state. The Canada Thistle is supposed to have been introduced into this country from Canada. Its spread has been rapid. Farmers should alwa§s be on the look-out for it, as of all Minnesota weeds it is one of the most difficult to eradicate. The Division of Botany and Plant Pathology would be very glad at any time to'make determinations of weeds for the farmers of the state. Drouth Did Not Damage Grass. Although the drouth cut down the | Minnesota hay-crop, the grass sur- vives, and will continue to give a good account of itself in future yields. The persistent vitality of its native grasses is one of the things that “count” in estimating the value of Minnesota lands. - - SAN FRANGISCO THE ONLY PLACE Manufacturer of Defroit Boosts the Exposition. ‘W. B. Knickerbocker, a prominent manufacturer of Detroit, Mich,, is an enthusiastic booster for - San Fran- cisco in the fight for congressional approval of its proposed Panama-Pa- cific exposition. “I believe that if the members of congress could be brought out to Cal- ifornia and given a glimpse of things as they exist here they would vote solidly for San Francisco when the exposition matter comes before them next December,” sald Mr. Knicker- becker. “It is a human instinct to move westward, and the great movement toward western America is just now beginning. This is a great, marvel ous, new country, of which we in the east know next to nothing. “There is no travel south. The ex- rosition belongs here where the peo- ple are coming. They will come to the exposition through the canal and then go back through this marvelous western country. Many, however, impressed by the marvelous re- sources of California, will remain kere for good. This scenery, the mountains, the forests and all the rest of it is not approached by any- thing In Europe. Thousands of peo- ple who now go to Europe would rather come here if they knew what is here. They are beginning to learn. The exposition will do wonders for the west. The interest of the coun- try at large demands that the expo- sition be held here.” Productiveness of California Lands. It is interesting to note the pro- ducts - of such a state as California and total the value of all the yield of the soil in the far-western domain. The soil in California produced $455, 369,837 in 1909. Concerned in this were 47,000,000 gallons of dry and sweet wines, 1,242,720 cases of can- ned vegetables and 3,047,001 cases of canned fruit. The honey crcp of Cal- ifornia for 1909 was 11,532,000 pounds, the butter 49,595,869 pounds and the egg crop 234,601,899 dozens. Costa Rican Volcanoes. Costa Rica has been subject to earthe quakes for many years. Part of the republic is exceedingly mountainous, and in this part of the country there are more than a score of volcanoes, some of them dead, but a few that break out periodically. There are three or four that have been active for more than a century. Some of these are near San Jose, the capital. Costa Ricans bave always believed that earthquakes, which the country hus ex- perienced ever since it was first set- tled by Spanish adventurers, were caused by the volcanoes. There is good ground for this belief, because it has been noticed that earthquakes of more or less intensity followed the ac- tivity of these volcanogs. [f the vol- canic eruptions were violent the earth- quakes were correspondingly severe.— Washington Post.
