ExperIments With the Texas

Experiments with the Texas
method of pruning roots of fruit
trees closely when transplanting
them seem to show that it is the
correct method. The old idea was
that the branches ought 10 be trims
med closely, but as much of the
root as possible ought to go with
the transpIanted tree. Indiana
experimenters find that tree with.
out roots develops more in one
season than one which has large

ming. The hall die not prove large
enough to comfortably accommodate
the audience. The participants On
this occasion were Messrs. Thames
and Bilbo, and Misses Walker,
Hunnicutt, Ladner, Haney and
Moore, prospective graduates for
this session. The subjects were
rather deep-just such topics as
are being discussed by congress-
men, senators, college presidents,
and able newspapers. The speak
ers, however, handled their several
roles in manner that proved sat-
isfactory to the majority of their
hearers. We cannot resist saying
that music would have adde to the
enjoy ment of the evening. Anoth-
er entertainment is promised for
the near future.
Our good friend, James Dempsey,

would settle up to date.

An incident which shows up in
bold relief the cowardly inaction
of the United States government
when its citizens are lying in Gu
ban prisons is related in the daily
papers of last week. A young
French girl was arrested at Santi-
ago de Cuba as political suspect
and the French Consul demanded
her trial or immediate release.
The demand was refused. Two
days later a little French warship
steamed into that port and, accom-
panied by her commander, the
consul demanded the unconditional
release of the girl, the withdrawal
Of all charges against her, an apol-
ogy for the outrage committed on
her, acknowledgement Of reason
able claim for damages and a royal
salute to the French flag. The
Spanish authorities were given six
hours to do all of this and the
French vessel cleared for action.
1t took the, Spanish only three
hours to comply with the demand.

report that committees of citizens
have been organized at San Anto-

cisco to solicit donations to a pop
ular fund to assist Spain in increas-
ing her naval strength is paraded
bv the Madrid and Havana news
papers as rejecting the rebellious
sentiment in the three cities men,
toned, which, it is alleged, would
favor Spain in the event of serious
complications between Madrid and
Washington.

assertion that should Spain declare
war upon the United States the
entire Southwest would promptly
withdraw from the Union and form
a new Confederacy, protected by
Spain, France and Mexico.

What Beet Sugar Will Do.

The following by Albert Geber-
ding is from q paper recently read
by him before the San Francisco
Chit-Chat Club:
Seventy moderate size factories
in California would utilize 500, 600
acres Of land would make annually
700, 900 tons Of sugar, nearly one
half as much as Germany, equal to
the product OF France, Russia or
Austria, and four times as much as
the Hawaiian Islands, and a sixth
Of the entire worlds beet sugar
output.
THIS would mean the annual dis
bursement Of $4,000, 900 for la
Dor, fuel, etc., and S22, 900, 900 for
beets, or would represent a total
investment Of over $50, 900, 900.
We consume annually $500, 900
tons Of sugar.
We pay to foreign nations about
1920, 900, 900 annually for sugar.
We have the land, we have the
climate and we have the brains and
bone and sinew to produce all that
we require.
Germany, France, Russia and
Austria have been teaching us for
fifty years how to make beet sugar.
ana have demonstrated that beet
sugar pays.
They have 1915 factories. while
we have only eight in the entire
United States.

and enterprising Americans send
their good dollars to foreign
countries to pay for a product tina,
might be produced at home?-Pa-

Senator John Sherman, of Ohio,
left the Senate on the 4th of March
to become Secretary of State under
the Mckinley administration. He
has served longer in Congress
than almost any other man. He
was Representative in the saith,
35th, seth, and 37th Congress, and
Senator from March 1861 to March
1877, when he was appointed Secre-
tary of the Treasury, and served
fol four years. He took his seat
in the Senate again in 1881, as sue
cessor to Allen G Thurman, and
has been there ever since. He has,
therefore, been a Senator for %
years, and was s years in the
House, making in all 35 years.
His present term would expire in
1899. Senator Morrill,, Of Yer
mont, who is now 81 years of age,
has been nearly ~ years in Con-
gress, IL years in the House and
80 years in the Senate. If he lives
to serve out the term beginning
on the 4th of March, for which he
has been elected, he will have served
nearly half a century in Congress.

tives IS years ago, but his service

New Sugar Schedule.

The Republican members of the
Ways and Means Committee have
agreed on the new sugar schedule,
which is to be. the cornerstone of
the new Republican tariff law.
The proposed sugar duty will
range from ! cent per pound on
sugar gauging IS per cent sac
charine, to 1852 l-2 on sugar gaug-
ing SO per cent--a much higher
rate than at present. 1t is esti-
mated that this will be equivalent
to an ad valorem duty of 20 per
cent as compared with the present
duty Of 40 per cent, an increase of
'three-fourths in the protection
afforded.
The new schedule is blow at
the Sugar Trust, but will benefit
the cane and beet sugar planters.
