The action of the state board OF

by the citizens of that small town. who
assert that the smallpox scare is greatly
exaggerated, and that instead of fifty,
there are only ten cases of the disease
in the town.

the board, said: 1--WE were compelled
to quarantine the village, because the
postoffice was infected and the mails are
the surest way of spreading the disease.

and we had to take the steps we did for
the sake of preventing the other villages
from becoming infected. Our action was
entirely precautionary. We did not act
until we had sent someone to thorough

Commercial Fertilizers.

The use of commercial fertilizers
was unknown before the year 1910, ex-
cept perhaps by individual expert
menters whose observations were
never reported to the public. In that
year the famous German chemist,
Baron Won Liebig, published his book
on agricultural chemistry. Four cardi-
nal principles were set forth by him:
1. A soil is fertile only when it con-
tains all the materials necessary for
the nutrition of plants, and those ma
terials must be in proper quantity and
in an available form. 2. All crops re-
move some of this fertility, a part OF
which is replaced by nature, and a
part must be replaced by man, If re-
placed at all. 3. The fertility of land
can be retained only by returning to
the land all the fertility that is re-
moved from it. 4. The amount of fer
tility restored to the farm by ordinary
husbandry is not sufficient to keep I'D
the fertility. When Liebig wrote
there were many soil problems un-
solved that are now understood, but
in the main his propositions hold good.
The removal Of nitrogen. phosphoric
acid and potash fmpoverishes soils,
and by bad systems of farming and no
attention to scientific rotations this
process Is accelerated. The farming
has been SO badly conducted ON much
of our lands that there is no possi-
bility of bringing them back to their
original condition in a reasonable time
except by resort to what are termed
commercial fertilizers.

On careful investigation It has been
found that some varieties are more re-
sistant to potato scab than are others.
A report from the Vermont station
says:
Students of plant diseases are agreed
that during recent years there has been
a tendency to place too little emphasis
upon the importance of the selection
and use Of the more hardy or disease
resistant varieties of plants. Potato
growers generally recognize that there
is a wide difference in the relative Ii
ability Of the sundry varieties to the
scab, as well as to blights and other
diseases. But we have had few sys-
tematic tests from which to learn the
facts more exactly. Halsted has re-
Gently tested seven varieties in respect
to liability to scab and ranks them in
the following order. beginning with the
most susceptible: ~ Early Rose. CD
Delaware. (3) June Eating. (l Queen.
(5) American Giant, (6) Rural Blush.
CD Rural New Yorker. No. 2. Our
own experience at the Vermont sta
ton with some of these varieties is in
harmony with Halsted's; thus in our

Mr.. A. e. Nahum of Bristol. po-
tato breeder OF long experience. writes
as follows in reply to an inquiry as to
his opinion upon this subject:
'I have observed that some varieties
are more susceptible than others. Such
smooth. white, thin skinned potatoes
as the Sir Walter, Uncle Sam and the
Enormous are less affected than such
varieties as State of Maine, Bristol
Beauty, Burbank. Bovee's Early. Pol
aris and Pride of the South. I have OBJ
served. also. that potatoes with rough
skin are much more exempt than the
smooth skinned varieties. Last season
planted about 400 seedlings which
were from one year to five years from
the seed bulb. I dug these potatoes
myself and found that some were more
scabby than others, the rough skinned
varieties being nearly all exempt Some
of the smooth skin varieties in the
same row and next to the rough ones
were very scabby. In one row that
was made up of several varieties, nine
hills OF each, one variety was free
from scab while the nine hills on
either side were quite scabby. While
digging the piece 1 found other in
stances nearly as marked as this one."

From some OF the canneries come re-
ports to the effect that the market il
constantly demanding better quality in
the canned goods. As a result the By
products of the orchard are not so
much sought after as the main prod
ucts-f1rst-class fruit. Probably the
demand has not as yet greatly affected
the quality that goes into the cans. but
that it will in the future seems GER
tain. The raisers of fruit will then
be compelled to settle all over again
the question OF what to do with small
and unstable fruit.
Luther Burbank, the man that has
made himself wor1d-famous by the

is reported now to have produced a
seedless prune. The result was OBJ
tained by crossing a French prune
with plum; what variety we do not
know. The new product has a seed,
but it is small and edible This will
make it possible to dry prunes with
out extracting the stones. A few
years ago such a result would have
been regarded as impossible, but since

the seedless grape and a few other
seedless fruits now known CONNER
cially. no one wonders at the reports
OF the same thing being done with
plums and prunes.
1t may be that Australia and New
Zealand will become strong shippers
r,H Av-,rfA a. u
is largely question of how long fruit
can be kept sound, and the Australians
are constantly hunting for new meth
DDS of preserving fruits for transit.
II they can find some method that will
keep fruit perfect for seven weeks
they have a good chance of getting
strong hold on the markets desired.
They can then ship fruit in the latter
part of our winter and have it reach
market in early spring. This would
give a supply of fruit to England and
the Continental countries after their
own fruit had disappeared. That the
Australians are likely to succeed is
evidenced by some experiments carried
on recently by the government of Vic
tor1a. Pears and peaches were boxed
Tor shipment and then exposed for
certain time to the effects of hydro
cyanic acid gas. After that they were
put away and kept seven weeks to
represent shipment. When taken out
OF their boxes at the end of that time
both the peaches and pears were found
to be in perfect state of preservation.
We do not know the details of the ex-
pertinent or what the effect was on
the eating quality of the fruit. So far
as we are able to learn the trial was
successful and we are likely to hear
more of it at some future time. How
ever, If it does prove a success we are
not forgetful of the fact that hydro
cyanic acid gas can be used by other
people than the Australians.

How thick should seeds be sown.
Professor Bailey says regarding some
seeds: Seeds that germinate very
slowly, as parsnips and celery, should
be sown thick in order that the COM

lets may break the crust on the soil.
This caution is always necessary on
soils that tend to bake, whatever the

Fan Planting OF Trees.


On the question of whether it is bet
ter to plant fruit trees in fall or spring
Professor F. A. Waugh of the Vermont
Experiment station says that one time
is just as good as the other, providing
the soil is in good condition and the
trees are all right. There are some
advantages to setting trees in the fall,
the principal one being that there is
commonly more time for it at that sea-
son. There is always rush of work
in the spring, but at this time of the
year farm operations are less pressing
Sometimes also the trees can be had
in better condition in the fall. Usual
ly prices are slightly lower for nursery
stock. Furthermore when fall plant
ing is really successful the trees are apt
to do better than when spring planted.
They become established to some ex-
tent during the winter and are all
ready to start with the first growing
weather in spring. The chief require
ment for fall planting is good soil in a
state of high cultivation. Raw, lumpy,
soddy soil will not answer. Positions in
which water stands will not do for fall
planting. In fact, trees should never
be set in such places. Where the soil
is not light and well drained it is liable
to freeze and heave, thus doing much
injury to young trees. But if the soil
is right, and the trees are right, and
the man is ready to plant, fall setting
Of fruit trees is nearly always advis-
able.
The above is the opinion Of Profess
or Waugh. But the Farmers Review
wishes to call the attention of its read
ers to the fact that Western conditions
are not entirely similar to those of
Vermont. The horticultural societies
Of the West have quite generally de-
clared against fall planting of fruit
trees. The Illinois Horticultural So
ciety declares against fall planting
north of Springfield. but believes it Is
safe to fall plant in the southern half
of the state.-Farmers' Review.

FOREIGNERS TO PAY THE TAX
But If They Do Not, English Coal
Mines Will Languish, and Ship
ping Interests Fail.

By Associated Press)
New York, April 30.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The shipping and many Industries are
settling down to the conviction that the
only concession which can be expected
from the treasury is the exemption of
the contracts from the short period du-
ties on coal. and candid men among
them are beginning to admit that agi-
tation has been pitched too high and
that the mines will not he closed or
ships driven from the sea by the new
methods Of taxation. Contractors now
assert that foreign navies, like the
French, will be forced to pay the export
duty on Welsh steam coal and that
Sir Michael Hicks Beach's forecast that
the tax will fall upon the foreigners may
be fulfilled in the course of time.
Liberal protests against sugar duties
have been met by tory ridicule of the
old time Gladstone doctrine that the
salvation of the industrial and agricul-
tural classes lay in cheap marmalade
and Jam. The chancellor's hold upon
tory affections is increased when proof
is offered that he is running counter to
Gladsonian principles.

HEINzE AND CLARK FIGHTING FOR The
WOOLMAN LODE.

So far as surface indications go the
Con Hayes and Mrs c. Hayes for a
consideration of $1,000. conveyed lot 3,
of block D, in the Warren & Kingsbury
addition, to Thomas Bryant was some-
thing of no great import. But there is
something beneath the surface. some
thing of considerable Importance. The
recording of the deed merely marked
another lap in a race between Clark and
Heinze for the possession Of property
over which there is lilsely to be con-
siderable litigation.
Years ago General Charles S. Warren
and B. C. Kingsbury located claim In
between the Steward claim and late
acquisition, both belonging to Senator
Clark. Their claim. known as the Wool
man, was laid off in town lots and
referred to on the maps as the Warren
& Kingsbury addition. Twenty years
ago these lots were all sold. with the
exception Of small piece Of ground re-
served for mining purposes. which was
afterward sold to Jacob Ornstein and by
him to Senator Clark.
From all accounts 1t appears that some
mining has been done on this lode either
from the Steward or the late acquisi-
ton. A knowledge of this is what has
ned to the present race IN acquiring
possession OF as much as possible Of the
property.
Lee Davenport & Co.. imposed to be
representing F. A. Heinze. have as Sc
cretly as possible been purchasing lots
