Ringing Grape Vines.


The practice of ringing grape vines
has been tested to some extent by the
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station. Two vineyards were Under
experiment in different parts of the
state and the vines in each were
hinged for two years. In one vine
yard, trained upon the two arm Knit
fin system, both arms were hinged be-
yond the fifth bud; and in the other
vineyard, using the renewal system
Of training. the arms were ringed be-
yond the renewal bud. In both or
chards very marked differences in ia
vor OF the fruit on ringed arms was
noticed with such varieties as Empire
State, Concord. Niagara, Geneva and
Catawba, the punches and berries be-
ing larger and more compact and rip-
ening earlier. In most cases, however.
especially with higher favored varie-
ties like Delaware, the quality was in
jured; and the grapes which naturally
show tendency to crack, like Wor-
den, were worse in this respect on
rlnged vines. The renewal system
seems best adapted to this practice.

Onion Growing.


There Is good deal of complaint
among farmers and gardeners about
being unable to secure a good stand of
onions by planting the seed. Onion
seed deteriorates very rapidly with age
and only that Of the last seasons crop
should be used. The sprouting seeds
and young plants are very easily killed
by drouth and some method of plant
Ing must be followed that will carry
the young plants over the dry weather.
A simple and quite effective way Of
planting is to prepare good seed-bed
by blowing the land in the fall or early
winter. Smooth down the surface with
a harrow or similar tool. Drill the
seed in rows about fifteen inches apart,
placing the seed about one inch below
the surface Of the soil. Firm the soil
well on the seed by walking on the
rows or some similar method; then
cover lightly with loose soil. This
method. although simple. has never
failed to give good stand of onions
at the Experiment Station at Still
water. AS soon as the plants are three
or four inches high they should be
thinned to three inches apart in the
row, Weeds and grass should never be
permitted to grow in the onion bed
and the surface Of the soil should be
kept loose and mellow with the hoe or
hand cultivator. Onions are easily
grown and with good care will yield
good crop in almost all parts of Ok

q Manila, April q. The following is
Aguinaldo's address to the Filipino
pecple. made public last evening:
5 Il believe I am not in error in pre-
Stunning that the unhappy fate to
which my adverse fortune has led me
IS not q surprise to those who have
beef. familiar with the progress OF the
war. The lessons taught with a full
meaning and which have recently come
to my knowledge, suggest with ire
s1stible force that q complete termina-
ton of hostilities and lasting peace are
not only desirable, but absolutely es-
senttal to the welfare of the Philip
pine islands. The Filipinos have never
been dismayed at their weakness, nor
have they faltered in following the
path pointed out by their fortitude and
courage.
The Time Has Come,
however, in which they find their adj
vance along this path to be impeded
by an Irresistible force, which, while 1t
restraints them, yet enlightens their
minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the course Of
peace. This course has been joyfully
embraced by the majority of my fellow
countrymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner
of the United States. In this banner
they repcse their trust and in its pro-
lection the Filipino people will con-
tinue in those liberties which they are
beginning to enjoy. They are unmis-
takably in favor Of peace. So be It.
There has been enough blood, enough
tears and enough desolation. This wish
cannot be ignored by the men still in
arms If they are animated by a desire
to serve our noble population which
has thus clearly manifested its will.
So do
I Respect This Will,
now that it is known to me. After ma.
ture elaboration resolutely proclaim
to the world that cannot refuse to
heed the voice Of a people longing for
peace, nor the lamentations of thou
sands of families yearning to see their
dear ones enjoy the liberty and the
promised generosity of the great
American nation. By acknowledging
and accepting the sovereignty of the
United States throughout the Philip.
pine archipelago, as now do, and
without any reservation whatsoever,
believe that am serving thee, my be-
loved country. May happiness be
thine''
To signalize this important step in
the pacification of the country, Gen.
Macarthur orders the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States, of one thousand insurgent pris-
oners.
