WAsHISGToN, May 22.-The dema-
gogues who are so rampant to make
political capital out of the Boer stu
alton and tried to involve the United
States by some method to express
sympathy or Intervention may create
some political capital out of it for the
democratic party, although the repub-
licans believe that when the situation
is explained 1t will prove a boomerang
II is we'll understood that an ex-
preston OF sympathy on the part OF
tie United States will simply mean a
rupture of diplomatic relations with
Great Britain, which would accomplish
nothing whatever for the Beers. Sym
pathy would mean nothing. Inter
vention is the only thing that would
do the Beers any good, and the dema-
gogues seem not to understand that
Intervention would mean war with
Great Britain The question arises
whether the people of the United
States want to plunge this country
into the most wicked and cruel war of
the century for the purpose of establish
ing the republics of South Africa.

Boer ENJOYS Visit Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Boei
enveys visited the white house -thls
morning according to the previous
arrangement, to pay their respects to
the president.
No official status was given the visi-
tors and they presented no credentials.
The enyQys. were received in the blue
parlor, no one being present but them
selves, the president and Secretary
Cortelyou.
At first the conversation touched
upon variety Of subjects. The Beers
talked about Washington told how
they admired the city, and the presi-
dent escorted them to a porch IL the
rear of the executive mansion, where
IL splendid view of the monumcl.t and
the Potomac river is obtainable
President Kruger's name was finally
mentioned, and The visitors then stated
their purpose in coming to this coun-
try. They sald they understood that
what Secretary Hay told them yester-
day was final, and that the position
OF the United States was that this
country could not interfere in the
struggle in South Africa.
The president confirmed this view.
He said that the action he took some
time ago (when at the request of the
Transyaal government he had offered
his good Offices to England to bring
about peace he did with great pleas
ure in the hope that it might possibly
BRING the conflict to an end. This
offer had been declined by Great Brit
ain and he said there was nothing
further which the United States coulI
do in the premises.
The ENJOYS intimated they were
glad to feel that they had friends il
this country, and then babe the presi
dent goodbye.

Suggestions For the Treat
ment Of Peach Leaf Curl.
BY CHARLES .. TOWNSEND.
STATE PATHOLOGIST.

Owing to the prevalence of
peach leaf curl. and also to the
numerous inquiries that have
been received in regard to the
cause and treatment of the dis
ease. it has been considered adj
Iisable to issue a brief circular
upon the subject at this time.
Peach leaf curl is produced by a
fungus ErodScus deformans) that
grows into the tissues of the
leaves and causes them to thicken
and become distorted. The
affected leaves become paler and
eventually turn brown and fall
off. This loss of foliage is not
only very injurious to the health
OF the trees, but it often causes
the fruit 10 fall before it is ripe.
If the diseased tree has sufficient
vigOr and a good supply OF food
material, it will soon put out a
new set of leaves. These new
leaves usually show no sign of
the disease and remain until the
normal shedding of the leaves
takes place.
The best remedy for the dis.
ease consists in spraying the tree
with Bordeaux mixture, it has
been found by experience that
little or no advantage is gained
by spraying the trees after the
blossoms fall or later; for this
reason it would be practically
useless to spray at the time of
the sscurl."
The first spraying should be
done just before the buds open,
and if the application at this
time Is thorough it will usually
prevent the "curl," or at least
greatly reduce its destructive
work. In spraying before the
buds open the ordinary Bordeaux
mixture as described in Circular
No. 2 may be used without injury
to the trees, if, how ever, it is
necessary to spray after the leaves
appear it is advisable to use
weaker solution of the mixture as
the leaves are very sensitive and
are in danger of being scorchcd
by the blueSt0ne. In this case it
will best to use the Bordeaux
mixture one-half strength, that is,
only three pounds of bluestOne
and three pounds of lime per bar.
rel of water. In other respects
the directions for preparing the
Bordeaux as given in Circular
No. 2 may be followed. The ap.
plicatiOn of Bordeaux mixture
just before the buds open should
be made each year since it is i'm
possible to tell at that time
whether the "curp will appear or
not, and furthermore the effects
OF the spray are cumulative. In
addition to the spraying it is add
visable that the affected trees be
thoroughly cultivated and proper
ly fertilized. AS food under
the circumstances, probably nj
trate of soda is best since it is
easily taken up by the roots and
readily aids in the formation of
the leaves.
