CRISIS IN THE STRIKE
TRUST WILL CARRY THE MATTER
IXTO THE COURTS.
"Will Ask for an Order Enjoining
Strikers From "Picketing" Con
ditions at Monessen.
PITTSBURG, July 23. The combine
forces have decided to carry the strike
into the courts. It is learned today that
ex-Judge Mills, of Wellsville, O.. has
been retained by Perclfcr F. Smith, dis
trict manager of the American Sheet Steel
Company to prepare papers for presenta
tion within a few days to a Federal Court,
asking for a restraining order to stop
strikers from accosting or molesting in
any way nonunion men on the highways.
The move promises a crisis In the strike,
thus far one of watchfulness and waiting.
The application for an Injunction may
be made in the United States District
Court and at flrst will apply only to
Wellsville, but it is believed the com
bine plans to pursue similar tactics at
McKeesport and other places where neces
sary. A rumor is In circulation that a, carload
of men wlH run Into Wellsville tomorrow
to supplement the force now at work. This
latter story has not been verified up to
midnight. Outside of these Incidents the
actual strike status is unchanged. Ac
cording to strike leaders the officials of
the "Wellsville district are apparently
seeking to bring on an open conflict In or
der to Invoke the aid of the Sheriff's dep
uties and if possible, the militia. Earnest
and renewed warnings have been sent to
the strikers to remain, cool and keep
within the Jaw.
There was much indignation among the
strikers today over a report that Mayor
A. P. Dennis had called two strikers,
Patrick O'Connor and Daniel Rumbaugh,
before him and forbidden them to talk to
men on the way to the mill In effort to
keep them from going to work. Vice
President Chapelle, of the Amalgamated
Association, Immediately sought the May
or and asked him what he meant by try
ing to abridge the right of free speech.
Mayor Dennis denied that he had forbld
'den the strikers to talk, and said:
"What I did say to the men was that
members of the association must not
take hqld of any man's coat and hold '
him while talking to him. I told them
it was better to go to a man's house and
talk to him than to gather a crowd on
the street."
The Mayor said neither Manager Brook
man nor any one else had put him up to
sadvislng the men not to talk, though Mr.
'Brookman had telephoned him that Rum
baugh had Interfered with a man who
was on his way to work. The amalgam
ated men say that the Mayor has no au
thority to forbid free speech, and that
if he orders men not to talk to nonunlon
lsts on the street, the order will not be
obeyed.
The reports from McKeesport tonight
are of a quieting nature, and no excit
ing incidents are looked for at present at
that point.
Conditions nt Monessen.
Much interest is centering on the sit
uation at Monessen. It is reported that
today 12 men were discharged because of
their too close friendship with the Amal
gamated people. A report that the miners
were planning a march to Monessen to
try to draw out the workers of that place
is denied here. The miners, It Is said, are
not taking an active part in the strike
as yet, and the Amalgamated officials
are opposed to march measures at this
time. Among the peculiar conditions
found at the Monessen mill Is the fact
that the men are paid on a tonnage basis,
and the company has, by contract with
the men, offered a bonus on all tonnage
over a certain limit, this bonus to be paid
at the end of the year. Some of the
workers have as high as 5500 thus far com
ing to them, and they realize that In case
of a strike they will lose all of this. The
effect of this Is to hold the men to their
places.
From Sharon a telegram was received
tonight saying:
"A bill for a preliminary injunction has
been granted by Judge Miller, restraining
the strikers at the American Steel Casting
Company works from entering the
grounds of the company."
Secretary M. F. Tlghe said today:
"Reasoning purely along the lines of
former strikes, It does not -seem unlikely
that the trust may try to start Painter's
or even more mills with nonunion men,
as a preliminary test of strength, but
I do not think It will be successful. If
such a thing is tried, of course the po
lice will figure as guards. There) the
danger lies."
Manufacturers conversant with the sit
uation declare that the workers will soon
weaken, and that the United States Steel
Corporation is waiting until the men are
ready to go to work. The following semi
official statement was issued today:
"The Amalgamated Association overshot
the mark In making Its demands. -The
"Tnlted States Steel Corporation made lib
eral concessions In offering to sign the
scale for the Wood, Wellsville, Old
Meadow and Saltsburg plants, but the
Amalgamated conferees were unwilling to
accept this. The strike has gone too far
now. There is no hope for arbitration or
mediation. There Is nothing to arbitrate
or mediate. It is not a question of wages
or hours. Such questions could bo set
tled by arbitration. The struggle now Is
over a principle. The manufacturers
think It unjust. The labor officials are
Arm in their belief that the demand is
fair. Both sides are unyielding. So what
is there to do but fight it out along these
lines?"
Fittinir Up a Rail Mill.
One of the most significant develop
ments of the strike is the order of the
National Steel Company to have the
former rail mill of that company In
Youngstown fitted for rail-rolling again.
The fact that the company Is thus pre
paring to shut off Its ateel bar and billet
production is taken as an indication that
the officials of the United States Steel
Company are looking for considerable
delay in operating the mills. The Youngs
town rail mill has been a nonunion plant,
and the men employed there have always
been outside of the organization. For
this reason It is expected that no diffi
culty will be experienced In operating the
rail mill again.
While the company at the Wellsville
mill received the accession of a few men
from the ranks of the strikers yesterday,
the number Is not yet large enough to
start the mill up In full. Meantime the
Amalgamated men are keeping a constant
watch upon the mill, and all the ave
nues that lead to It to guard against the
possible arrival of more nonunion men.
It Is stated that the management of the
Dewees-Wood mill In McKeesport has no
lntentioh of resuming the operation of the
plant at present. Nevertheless the strik
ers continue to patrol the streets and
strangers are frequently stopped and
questioned. Little doubt remains that
these mlllworkes Intend to flght if the
issue is forced, and that the management
of the Deweps-iWood plant has prepared
for any emergency. About 4 o'clock this
morning several strikers tried to get an
entrance to part of the barricaded plant,
but were driven back by those guarding
the company's property.
Late last night Trustee John
Pierce, of the Amalgamated Association,
organized a lodge of workmen at
the Glassport plant of the American
Steel Hoop Company. This is con
sidered another victory by strikers, since
this mill has been nonunion since it was
opened. Three hundred workmen were
employed at the Glassport plant, and the
50 members who organized the lodge last
night are pledged to walk out should the
workmen at the Dewees-Wood plant de
sire them to do so. Strikers report that at
a secret meetlpg last night a large num
ber of the Federation of Labor working
men In the National rolling mill plant of
the National Tube Company Joined the
Amalgamated, men, and are ready to'
strike. It is reported that the lap and
buttwelders of the National Tube Works
at McKeesport, as well as the plpecutters,
are to be organized by the Amalgamated
Association perhaps on Sunday next.
With these departments well organized,
the association will be in shape to tie
up completely the big plant If it desires.
The general belief is that no strike will be
ordered unless the National Tube Com
pany discharges some of its men for join
ing the union.
At Vandergrlft and Duncansvllle the ef
forts of the Amalgamated Association to
get the men out have so far been futile.
Reports are rife that the United States
Steel Corporation will shortly make an
effort to start up Painter's mill, of the
American Steel Hoop Company, In this
city. The Amalgamated men will do ev
erything in their power to frustrate the
object of the company. They have a code
of signals prepared, and at the least sign
of any activity on the part of the officials
of the company the ringing of a bell or
the blowing of a whistle will bring the
strikers to the scene without the least
delay.
The report that the men at Moorhead's
union is denied. Alfred Bray, one of the '
MADAM DEMOCRACY: "No,
boss puddlers. said the men are satisfied,
that no secret meetings have been held,
and that the men do not want to be or
ganized. No Clinnee, Says Morgan. .
NEW YORK, July 23. Another rumor
declaring that tho strike of the steel
workers had been settled reached Wall
Street from Boston tonight, the second
to come from that city In four days.
When J. P. Morgan's attention was called
to the report he replied: "The situation
Is unchanged." President Schwab and of
ficers of the United States Steel Cor
poration declined to discuss the steel
strike.
Starting a Tinplnte Mill.
EAST LIVERPOOL, O., July 23. About
20 men have been added to the force which
is renovating the Chester, W. Va., plant
of the American TInplate Company pre
paratory to starting It as a tlnplate mill.
District Manager William H. Banfield
was here last night and stated that the
work will be pushed with all possible
speed. The present capacity of the mills
will be doubled.
Sheet Steel Advanced.
NEW YORK, July 23. The brokers and
jobbers In the sheet steel and galvanized
Iron trade In this city advanced the price
of steel 1 cent per pound today.
FIREMEN RETURNED TO "WORK.
General Resumption of Collieries lu
Anthracite District.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 23. A great
many of the stationary firemen returned
to work today. All the, collieries of the
Delaware & Hudson Company are In oper
ation, with the old hands in the boiler
room. There was also a general resump
tion at the mines of the Lackawanna
Coal Company, which has taken all the
strikers back. All the Individual operators
have relpBtated their men and are work
ing full time. The Lehigh Valley Coal
Company, however. Is still holding out
against its old firemen.
At a meeting of the striking machinists
of this city toiay. the strike at the shops
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
at Coxton and Wllkesbarre was officially
declared off. The superintendent of the
shops was immediately flooded with appli
cations for reinstatement from old em
ployee. Situation at Shnraokin.
SHAMOKIN, Pa., July 23.-Notwlth-standlng
the refusal of the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal & Iron Company to rein
state Its striking mine, firemen, all of the
strikers at the other mines In this region
returned to work today. The Reading
Company flrtrooms are; manned by non
union men, and all of the company's col
lieries are in operation.
No Supplementary Estimates.
NEW YORK, July 23. Mr. Balfour has
just stated there will be no supplementary
estimates and from this It is Inferred that
the Government does not Intend to ask
Parliament to make any further provision
for the war. says the London correspon
dent of the Tribune. The military author
ities' It is understood are satisfied that
the war is nearing its end, and that the
sum already voted by Parliament will be
sufficient to meet the military expendi
ture. Reorganizing Chilean Finances.
VALPARAISO. Chile, July 23. Tho
Chilean Government Is preparing a bill
which will effect a reorganization to a
large extent of the national finances. It
contemplates the accumulation of an ad
ditional 50,000.000 pesos as a reserve, and
will provide for an excise duty on alco
hol and other Internal taxes, whjch, to
gether with the sale of nitrate properties,
will be devoted to greatly increasing the
efficiency of the Chilean Army and Navy.
RAIN BROUGHT NO RELIEF
TEMPERATURE REMAINS HIGH
THROUGHOUT THE CORN BELT.
Light, Scattered Shovrcrs Insufficient

son Takes a Hopeful View.
WASHINGTON, July 23. With the ex
ception of scattered thunder storms, the
most of which, for far, at least, as re
ports of the Weather Bureau show, was
at North Platte, Neb., where .08 of an
Inch of rain fell, the drouth and Intense
heat continued all day throughout the
states of the corn belt. Temperatures
today again averaged over 100 deg. In that
area, making the 36th consecutive day in
whic the thermometer has risen to 90
deg. and higher. Aside from North
Platte, a trace of rain was officially re-

ported at Des Moines. .02 of an Inch at
Kansas City, some rainfall In North Cen
tral Texas, some In Arkansas, some In
South Texas, and also some In Northern
Minnesota. In other sections Official
Forecaster Frankenfleld says there may
have been thunder showers, as reported
In the press dispatches, though the bu
reau has received no advices other than
these heretofore stated from Its observ
ers. These storms, he said, brought only
temporary relief, and afforded little sus
tenance to the overparched ground,
which, after the greatly protracted period
of drouth, needs a general rain. Accord
ing to present indications, there seems to
be no prospect of such a downpour for
the next wo days at least. Beyond that
time the officials will not make any pre
dictions. Generally speaking, the temperatures in
the superheated area were not so high as
yesterday, but such falls as may have
occurred have been due entirely to local
changes, and not to any general differ
ences In atmospheric conditions. The hot
weather also continued in the Northwest,
Bismarck, N. D., reporting a record
breaking temperature of 106 deg. There
is no prospect of any relief from prevail,
ing conditions In the central valleys and
the Middle West, and Forecaster Frank
enfleld tonight repeats his forecast of
continued warm weather, with light and
pcattered thunder storms, for that sec
tion. The only rains Indicated are local
thunder showers in the Southern States
and In the Rocky Mountain section.

TOPEKA, July 23. Temperatures in
Kansas today have been as high as 110,
and In no case are figures less than 100
reported. It has been fully as oppres
sive as yesterday, which was the hottest
day of the year. One death from heat
occurred In Abilene, and prostrations re
sulted In Leavenworth, Emporia, Atchi

smallei towns.
The state is overcast with clouds, and
the air Is humid. Thunder showers of
various degrees of Intensity came during
tho afternoon. Leavenworth had two
showers of 20 minutes each. No relief
ether than a slight cooling of tho atmos
phere resulted. The Indications seem fa
vorable tonight for more showera, but
no one attempts to say when general
rains may be expected. The situation
throughout the state has become very un
comfortable. Everything Is stifled with
dust, and water is becoming very scarce.
Over a month of 100 deg. temperature,
with hardly a drop of rain, Is tho story
reported tonight from many Kansas coun
ties. Pending the coming of the rain, many
farmers are rushing their stock to mar

hunting for water. In the cities the
prices of milk and other farm products
have largely increased.

NEW YORK, Juiy23. Vice Chancellor

Trenton, N. J., has just rendered a de
cision of vital Import in tho case of the
Centaur Company against a party calling
themselves The G. W. Link Drug Com
pany. It seems for the past year or more
Mr. Charles H. Fletcher, president of
the Centaur Company, the manufacturers
of Castorla, has been fighting through the
courts counterfeiters and Imitators of their
goods. All of the fake goods are put
up In a manner to lead the purchasers to
think they are getting the same Castorla
they have always bought, and the Chan
cellor dwells at length on this point,
showing how easy It would be to Inform
the public of the difference between the
packages If It were not their object to
mislead the consumer. He says In, part:
"Every one of the packages put In evi
dence by the defendant shows a persistent
adoption of the size of the bottle and the
label of the complainant. All these manu
facturers knew just as the defendent
knew that If the remedy was put up in
round bottles or in bottles distinctively
larger or smaller, or If the bottles were
so differently wrapped as to at once ar
rest the attention of the casual pur
chaser, the sale of the rernedy In such
packages would at once become substanti
ally reduced."
Citing numerous cases In line with this
opinion, he gave Mr. Charles Fletcher the
injunction asked for. and the G. W. Link
Drug Companymust seek new fields.

. KOCH'S DISCOVERY
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS NOT TRANS
MISSIBLE TO HUMANS.
His Paper Read Before the Meeting
of the British. Congress Chief
Danger of Contagion.
LONDON, July 23. A feature of today's
session of the British Congress of Tu
berculosis was Dr. Robert Koch's paper,
which was listened to with the deepest
Interest by the big gathering In St. James
Hall. Lord Lister Introduced the noted
German professor to the assembly with
a few complimentary words.
During his address, Dr. Koch said his
experiments had shown him that human
tuberculosis and bovine tuberculosis were
radically different diseases', and that he
had amply demonstrated that cattle could
not be infected with human tuberculosis.
The counter proposition that human be
ings were not liable to Infection from bo
vine tuberculosis was hard to prove, the
doctor said, owing to the difficulty of ex
perimenting upon human subjects, but
personally he was satisfied such was the
case, and he recited at length post mor
tem evidence supporting this view. Dr.
Koch said if this point were conceded. It
remained to determine the chief source
of contagion.
Continuing he said that human Immu
nity from bovine infection disposed of
the belief of infection through dairy pro
ducts, and he considered this source of
danger so slight as to be unworthy of
precautionary measures.
Heredity was only an unimportant
factor In the transmission of tuberculosis,
though thel contrary had long been be
lieved. Dr. Koch said the chief danger of
contagion lay In the sputum of consump
tive patients and that a remedy was to be
found In a law preventing the consump
tive from strewing contagion about him.
Dr. Koch highly complimented Dr.
Herman M. Biggs, pathologist and di
rector of the bacterologlcal laboratories
of the New York Health Department,
upon the repressive measures concerning
tuberculosis taken in New York, where,
he said, the mortality from tuberculosis
had been reduced to 35 per cent since 1SS6.
and recommended the system organized
by Dr. Biggs Ih New York to the study
and Imitation of all municipalities.
Dr. Koch closed his remarks by express.
Ing his belief that the ultimate stamping
out of tuberculosis was possible.
Sanitary Sstem Revolutionized.
NEW YORK. July 23. Dr. Allen F.
Halght, of Chicago, the official representa
tive of the American Medical Association,
said to a Herald corresondent in London:
"If I had not heard Professor Koch
quietly announce his discovery In private
conversation. It would have seemed to me
absolutely Incredible. I can only say that
Dr. Koch Is too profound a student and
has too much reputation at stake to pro
mulgate such a proposition unless con
vinced of Its soundness beyond the shad
ow of a doubt. If he is able to demon
strate theoretically his claim, the sani
tary systems of the world will be shaken
to the very roots. The word revolution
but faintly expresses what the discovery
will precipitate."
Englfrsh experts talke'd of the theory
with mingled astonishment and contempt,
and asserted that the German professor
would encounter stubborn debate and
learned disproof of his "mad Idea."
Dr. Relnolds, Health Commissioner of
Chicago, when Informed of Professor
Koch's theory, said:
"The discovery Je certainly of the high
est Importance, especially In regard to
milk. As far as meat Is concerned, I
never believed It contained elements of
danger when cooked, and therefore the
announcement has comparatively less sis-'
nlflcance for the civilized peoples of the
world. As to milk taken in Its natural
state, It Is a different proposition. While
probably nobody Is desirous of drinking
the milk of tuberculous cows, yet a great
boon would be assured If It can be con
sumed with Impunity. The discovery will
also have a practical result In simplifying
the work of milk Inspection, although not
altogether rendering this unnecessary."
EFFECT OF MRS. KRUGER'S DEATH
It Mny Bring the Anglo-Boer War
to an End.
NEW YORK, July 23. A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The death of Mrs. Kruger may have
some Influence In shortening the war. Mr.
Kruger himself has been reported to be
exceedingly despondent over the military
operations, and the correspondence be
tween Reltz and Steyn has justified his
discouragement. His domestic bereave
ment may cause him to lose heart for
continuing a hopeless struggle. His Dutch
physicians have been warning him for
months against the consequences of ex
citement since his heart action Is abnor
mally weak.
The story Is brought by Influential South
Africans that General Botha was strongly
disposed to surrender, but did not consider
himself at liberty to do so as against
tho judgment of Mr. Kruger. General
Botha has a farnlly to provide for and Is
without resources. Africanders assert that
he Is dependent upon allowances which
Mr. Kruger has agreed to make for him
If he continues the struggle as long a3
possible. There Is no practical method of
verifying these explanations, but this ac
count comes from Africanders who ought
to know what they are talking about
The newspapers refer in tones of sym
pathy to the death of Mrs. Kruger. It
is expected that the British Army In
South Africa will pay to her death honors
that her former position would have de
manded. BRITISH DISASTERS.

SALISBURY'S PESSIMISM.
Refers to the "Imperial Sentiment"
of the Americans.
LONDON, July 23. In the House of
Lords tonight the Marquis of Salisbury
made a pessimistic speech In support of
the finance bill. The Premier said:
"The tendency to extravagance Is In
creasing. We have had no choice. We
have had to protect ourselves, and must
pay the coat. For years public opinion
va3 in favor of a pacific policy, but now
that state of opinion has passed away.
The tide has turned, and who am I and
who are we that we should attempt to
Btem the tide? If the tide has turned we
shall have to go with It. We are in the
presence of forces far larger than we can
wield.
"The noble lord (referring to Baron
Welby) has alluded to the celebrated
passage in which Sidney Smith warned
the American public against the dangers
and discomforts attaching to the pursuit
of glory. No doubt it was thought at
the time to be a very wise lecture. But
has It been successful? Has he Induced
the American- people to adopt his view?
,On the contrary, we know that one of
the most powerful engines of the state
consists In appeals to that national and
Imperial sentiment to which we have
been so much exposed and which we are
So much bound to abide by."
THE KING'S MISTAKE.
Again Thanked Americans for Their
"Loyal, Dntlfal Sentiment."
LONDON, July 23. Much gossip In
American and English society has been
caused by the presentation to King Ed
ward yesterday by aome American la
dies of the hospital ship Maine commit
tee of a medaj commemorative of the
Maine's work, with a request that the
King transmit the medal to Queen Alex
andra. It seems that the Idea was op
posed by a number of Influential members
of the committee, but the others carried
the day. The King's reply to the delega
tion which made the presentation Is
causing some comment, as he thanked
"this American committee" for their
"loyal, dutiful sentiments," as he did
the Kansas Legislature In answering their
telegram of condolence on tho Queen's
death, and he also thanked the commit
tee for bringing their valuable service to
a culmination by presenting the ship to
the government, whereas this was done
solely by Bernard M. Baker, of Balti
more. Rnaalan Demand on Turkey.
LONDON, July 23. "Russia demands
of the Porte two coaling stations on the
Persian Gulf," says the correspondent of
the Dally Mail at Constantinople, wiring
Sunday, "and she Is using the strongest
pressure to Induce the Sultan to yield.
One or more stations have been demanded
In Asia Minor. Up. to the present time
the Porte has not yielded, but it is doubt
ful whether the Ottoman Government
will be able to hold out. These demands
are regarded as serious by the British."
Sources of CMna'n Revenue.
LONDON, July 23. "Great Britain's
counter proposition to Russia's sugges
tion of 10 per cent customs Is that the
sources of Chinese revenue alread ear
marked shall be accepted for the present
as adequate," says a dispatch from Pekin
to the Daily Mail. "Later, If these dp
not suffice, the powers. Great Britain
suggests, could consider new sources.
Several powers support the proposal,
which has a frail chance of adoption."
Raised to an Earldom.
LONDON, July 23. King Edward has
raised Evelyn Barlg, flrst Viscount Cro

WILSON IS OPTIMISTIC.
He Is Hopeful of an Average Corn
Crop.
NEW YORK, July 23. A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says;
Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture,
has favored the Tribune with a talk on
the effects of the long-continued drouth
on the growing crops of the We3t. He does
not take so gloomy a view of the agri
cultural prospects between the Allegheny

and the Rocky Mountains as do some of
the so-called experts who are not connect
ed with the Government service. Nor yet
does Mr. Wilson attempt to minimize the
Injury already done and that will Increase
unless there Is a great precipitation of
moisture during the next few weeks In
the vast stretch of country between tho
continental mountain ranges.
While he acknowledges that the hard
wheat belt of tho Northwest has been
damaged. Secretary Wilson. does not yet
despair of an average yield of corn In
tho corn belt, thlch he defines as extend
ing east from the Missouri River to the
Alleghenles, embracing the States of
Iowa, Wisconsin, the northern part of
Missouri and all of Illinois, Indiana and
Ohlo The most regrettable loss from
the viewpoint of the Department, declares
the Secretary, Is that of the macaroni
wheat crop. For the first time an experi
ment has been made this year in the pro
duction of this variety of wheat on a
large scale In the United States. Secretary
Wilson ha3 been encouraging this experi
ment ever since he has been at the head
of the Agricultural Department, and Im
ported the seed from Northern Africa,
where most of the wheat Is produced
which supplies Europe and the world with
macaroni.
The Secretary Is especially hopeful of
an average corn crop. He says It will
not be a record-breaker or a "bumper"
in the parlance of the Agricultural De
partment, but at this moment the pros
pects favor a fair average yield. Mr.
Wilson said:
"If something could be done to Induce
the farmers In the corn belt to extend
their period of cultivation about two
weeks this year beyond the usual limit.
I would look for a big crop. But the
usual season for cultivation is rapidly
drawing to a close, and I fear that with
comparatively few exceptions the farmers
will 'lay by' their corn at the regular time,
regardless of the drouth. In the entire
corn bell, with the exception of Missouri,
which has a shallow soil, 30 inches of rain
during the year Is all that Is needed to
produce a crop. If even only 12 or 14
Inches of this falls during the flrst four
months of production, a good yield can
be counted on The corn-belt soil, with
the exception noted, Is deep, and holds
moisture well. To utilize this conserved
moisture to tho best advantage In the ab
sence of rain, tho soil should be contlnu
aly stirred, so as to make what we call a
'mulch,' until the crop Is matured. There
fore, I repeat, that If the farmers In the
corn belt at this time could be shown
the advisability of extending their culti
vation season about two weeks, we could
look for a good yield this year.
"The farmer, like every other business
man, always does what ho believes to
be best for his own Interest, but in a case
like this It is extremely difficult to dis
seminate broadly In farming communltle-r
the Information that Is of pressing and
Immediate value. By this I mean that
If the season of cultivation were extended
about two weeks beyond the usual limit,
there would need be no fear of the result."
