WILLIAM G.SHEPHERD FINDS .
WOMEN EQUALS OF MEN IN RUSSIA
BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD.
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
Petrograd, May L (By Mail)
Mrs. Russian People stands side by
side with her husband In this revolu
tion. She speaks at meeting, votes,
leads and writes for the scores of
little newspapers that have sprung
up all over Russia, just as if she were
an ordinary male human being. In
the simple, child-like Russian mind, no
question seems to have arisen as to
the rights of women. When I asked
whether she would vote in the new
Russia, the Russian women realized
immediately that I was either an Eng
lishman or an American. "Why
there's no question about it," said one
Russian woman shrugging her shoul
ders. "We've had bigger things to
fight for in Russia than the right of
women to vote. We've fought side by
side with the men for human rights
with no question of sex involved.
We've gone to jqil, and we've died and
we've taken our turns' at assassina
tions. Only an Anglo-Saxon, if
you'll pardon me for plain speaking,
would think of raising such a ques
tion." The answer was calculated
to make an Anglo-Saxon feel like a
wife-ibeator. "I approached four of
the women who sat at the various
committee tables around the duma
building and plainly put to each one
of them this question: "Madame, have
you ever been in jail?" They had
all four of them. They told their
stories with proud smiles. They had
not been prisoners in the Cat and
Mouse fashion In which the suf
fragettes of London have been jailed,
nor in the spot-light manner In which
Mrs. Sanger and the birth-control ad
vocates in New York have lingered
for a few weeks at a time behind
bars but in the way of the Russian
Czar, with cold, dark cells and silence;
little food and long, lonely, hopeless
years of waiting. "Has any woman
in Russia ever been put in jail for
demanding women's rights?" I asked
one of these women who had been
jailed for a part in the Stolypin as
sassination. She was sitting in the
office of the new national peasants'
union, presiding over the book in
which the incoming peasant delegates
from every part of Russia were en
tering their names. "Never! Never!"
she said emphatically. "That's one
crime that has never been charged
against the Czar. But we Russian
women haven't been like the Ameri
can nnd English women. The rights
of all human beings, men and women,
have been at stake in Russia and men
and women have been fighting side by
side for them. All of us men and
women, have considered ourselves as
human beings -without any sex differ
ences. Now that tho revolution is
won, men and women are still side by
side. Nobody has rataed the question
of women's rights in the revolution
until you American and English news-

Fined For Carrying
Concealed Weapons
Frank White and Corlis Hayhurst,
the two young fellows who were ar
rested Tuesday were tried in the po
lice court yesterday morning and each
fined $50 for carrying concealed
weapons. ,
While acting Chief Christiansen
was talking to White on the day of
his arrest the young fellow very calm
ly rolled a cigarette and 'proceeded to
smoke it When questioned regard
ing the use of cigarettes he stated
that he didn't know that he was dis
obeying the law. According to Chris
tiansen the youngster could be sued on
two points of law: disobeying the cig
arette act and for petty larceny.
Both boys are being held over for
trial by the civil court on the charge
of stealing. ,
AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
BY PAUL SPILLMAN.
(County Agriculturist.)
Spraying for Coddling Moth.
It is high time that spraying for
the coddling moth bo done. The use
of 2 pounds of a paste form of arsen
ate of lead or 1 pound of the powdered
form to 50 gallons of water will be
effective. The main point is to be
thorough in. your application, and
further to have plenty of pressure.
The object of spraying at the present
time is to force the poison into the
calyx before it closes, as the young
worm when attacking the apple usu
ally enters the calyx end of the apple
and begins feeding. When this is
thoroughly poisoned the first meal the
worm gets kills him. We have not
much time left to do this, the most
important of the sprayings for the
moth. If you have been bothered with
the scab add 1 gallon of lime sulphur
solution to every 30 gallons of the
arsenate of lead solution.
(Last year if the first application
was done before the calyx closed and
plenty of pressure was used there
wore practically no other worms later
in the season.
Scale Weed.
While walking through a wheat
field near Alicel the other day I no
ticed a fairly ilberal scattering of
lusty scale weed plants. They were
fairly evenly distributed over the
field and averaged probably as large
as any scale weed plants I have seen.
I came across one particularly large
one which had 15 stems that averaged
200 seed pods to tho stem, and each
pod averaged about 14 seeds. Take
your pencil and figura out approxi
mately how many seeds that one
plant will produce. Of course not all
the plants were anywhere near as
large as this individual, but the seeds
will average from 10 to 20 in a pod
whether the plant be large or small,
and those who have had experience
with this pest realize that the seed
seems to have a rather high percent
age of germination.
I have noticed that this weed is
getting a mighty good start in num
erous fence rows in- parts of the coun
ty where at present it 13 not a serious
pest. It is high time that you get
busy and clean up your fence rows
wherever possible because wo know
this to be one of the most fertile
sources of weeds in our fields, nnd
particularly so with scale weed. If
you want to see a good example of
clean fence rows and clean fields take
notice of the Chas. Playle place the
next time you go by. His fields and
fence rows would be no more free of
weeds than any others if he did not
systematically get after them. Mr.
Playle made the statement one day
that the reason we have so many
weeds in our fields is because "we do
not like a hoe handle well enough."
While he does not hoe out all his
weeds, he does use a hoe where he
cannot get it done with a cultivator,
harrow, or some other implement.
