Horticulture, Observations.

The question of whether bees pune
ture grapes has been discussed from
various standpoInts for a good many
years. and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and investigators on the
subject are that bees do not puncture
grapes. but suck the juice OF grapes
only after they have burst open or
been bitten by birds. Prof. r. l.. Tuy-
lor OF the Michigan Experiment STA
tion has conducted some experlme ats
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were that
the bees worked only on the Delaware
and Lady grapes. varieties that burst
open badly In wet seasons Prof. Tay-
Tor placed 1000 sacks on clusters OF
thirteen different varieties OF grapes
so that the bees could not get at them.
Toward the close OF the experiment Il
was found that the grapes ineloscd In
sacks were suffering more than those
that were left uncovered. and many OF
the grapes had burst open. The ex-
perImcnter concluded that the sucking
away Of the juice OF the grapes by the
bees Is direct benefit rather than IN
injury. In that these luiecs are pre-
vented from flowing upan sound
grapes. and thus incrcasin. the amount
OF the injury by the cracking OF the
skin.

OF the grasses suitable for binding
these sands has been extended along
the Atlantic coast as far south as

Pacific coast and along the Columbia

Several native sand binders of srea,

their utilization in a practical way In,

Dewey For President.

New York, April "A special t.
the World from Washington says:
Admiral Dewey authorizes the
World to announce to the American
people that after mature reflection
and in response to the earnest EN-
treaties from all parts of the country,
his former decision, not under any
circumstances to run for the presi
dency, is rescinded.
A World correspondent saw the
admiral at his home at O'Clock last
evening.
Admiral Dewey said: q realize
that the time has arrived when /
must definitely define my position.
"When | arrived in this country
last September said then that moth
ing would induce me to be a can
didate for the presidency.
"Since then, however, | have had
the leisure and inclination to study
the matter, and have reached diff
ferent conclusion, inasmuch as so
many assurances have come to me
from my countrymen that l would
be acceptable as a candidate for
this great Office. If the American
people want me for this high office
[ shall be only too willing to serve
them.
cit is the highest honor in the
gift of this nation; what citizen
would refuse it?
"Since studying this subject I am
convinced that the office of president
is not such very difficult one to
fill, his duties being mainly to exc
cute the laws of congress.
"Should | be chosen for this ex-
allied position | would execute the
laws of congress as faithfully as l
have always executed the orders of
my superiors."
