east of Rushville, believes he has solved
the problem of producing perfect apples
in spite of the many enemies Of the
apple tree. His remedy lies in spraying
and he believes it is not thoroughly un-
derstood by the apple growers.
81 have been studying horticulture
for thirty years." said Mr.. Stuart. II
have paid particular attention to the
soil and climate of Kansas and Missouri,
and 1 have come to the conclusion that
the hour has come when all fruit grow
ers must spray to kill the insects which
are destroying the fruits, or complete
failure will overtake fruit interests.
Haphazard, happy -go-lucky ways must
be succeeded by the thorough, intelli-
gent methods. The wants of the tree
must be studied, must be understood
and administered to, and Western Mis-
souri, and Eastern Kansas will then as
tonish the world with it's fine fruit The
climate and the soil need only the in
telligent assistance of the farmer to ac-
complish this result.
"Last season the canker worm sud-
denly appeared, and in it's ravages it
blighted crop after crop in my locality.
What condition produced the worms I
do not know, but they appeared in
countless numbers, and nearly every

Here are three or four bushels of apples
which 1 brought to town this morning.
Look at them. I do not think you will

perfect apples 1 ever raised. 1t was an

"What is your exact method of spray
ing?" was asked.
How Stuart Saves His Fruit.
perhaps I can best answer by de-
scribing what did last season. To be-
gin at the very first step, [ used Paris
green of proportions of about three
fourths of pound of Paris green to a
fifty gallon barrel of water. Bear in
mind, however, that such solution is
dangerously strong. With it, quicklime
must be used, always taking at least
three times more lime than Paris green.
That is, the quicklime should weigh at
least three times more than the Paris
green. The lime absorbs the free arsenic
and prevents the scalding of the foliage.
But-and this should be carefully heed
ed strongly advise, except in extraord-
mary occasions, that only one-half the
amount of Paris green, as stated above,
be used, as all preparations of arsenic
are powerful corrosive poisons and very
readily destroy the leaves OF the trees.
L had to use very strong solution last
spring, because it was May ID when I
began the work of destroying the cank-

HOP SITUATION.
The Yield This Year Is Considerable Short OF
Last Year.

The hop picking season for Yakima
valley is about over, and it is conserva-
lively estimated that the yield will be
several thousand bales short of last
years crop. The Mckee company has
finished its work of picking and is now
busy preparing the product for market
A number of other big hop raisers have
completed their work, with many of the
smaller growers nearly finished. For
some time speculation has been rife
ton this year. W. +. Lovdal, secretary
OF the California. State Hop Growers
association, has issued a circular in
which he estimates that the cropis short
on this coast between $1,000 and 81 900
bales. He therefore advises growers to
hold for higher prices. This informa-
ton is not well received by the mi Idle
men of the northwest, but it is the
source of great satisfaction to the grow
ers, many Of whom will hold their crop.
The crop in Chehalis county will be $50
bales this year, whereas 400 was the crop
last year. According to Pincus Bros. of
Tacoma the Washington crop will be
$4,000 bales short and 5000 short for
Oregon. The crop by states in this
country is given as follows: New York,
10000; Oregon, $4,000; Washington,
81 900; California, $4,000; total 1872, 900.
The reports from England give CORE
spending shortage.
The following estimate OF production
and consumption of hopes throughout
the world for the year 1901 given by the
Express of England, shows that the de-
mand will be in excess of supply:

Her Condition Is SeriOus-Little Girl

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, March s.--According to a
report received here by telephone after 3
o'clock tonight, Kittie De Long, about
twenty years old. the daughter of Joseph
De Long, of Bluffton, was waylaid and
ravished at that place, about o'clock this
evening, by tramp. Parties of citizens
are in pursuit of her assailant and there is
every probability that he will be lynched,
If caught.
The girl, who is employed at the knitting
mill, was on the way TO her home, I'm the
outskirts of town, about a mile from the
mill When nearly there she was assailed
by the tramp, who choked and outraged
her. When found she was unconscious and,
according to last reports, she continued so,
after being taken home. save for a few
minutes, when she rallied sufficiently TO
give a partial description of her assailant.
Her condition is said to be critical.
After his daughter was cared for, Joseph
De Long gave the alarm and posses of citi-
zens were organized and they are securing
the country in all directions. The lynching
spirit is rampant. Word was telephoned
to all the surrounding towns, the meager
description of the tramp being given, and
dogs were asked for and sent from here TO
assist in running him down.

REPORTS FROM KITCHENER.


LONDON, March S.-Lord Kitchener, re-
porting under date of March Z, says: 'The
Beers failed In their determined attack on
Lichtenburg. Our losses, besides the two
officers previously reported, were fourteen
men killed and twenty wounded The Boer
general Cellieres, was killed. De Vets po-
sition is variously reported, as his men are
scattering through the Orange colony.
French reports further captures of
contemporaries Creuzot, with carriage
and timber complete. and one Hotchkiss.
making a total of seven guns. The total
number of Beers known TO have been placed
hors de combat since the eastern opera
tions begun is 979.'
Adding 10 his last report Lord Kitchener
states that 169 rifles, 24.970 rounds of am
muntion. 1s3 horses, 1,240 trek oxen, 1920
cattle. 1850 sheep, 100 wagons and carts
and large quantities of forage have been

GENERAL FRENCHS CAPTURES
ENORMOUS QUANTITIES OF BOER
SUPPLIES TAKEN BY BRITISH.
Fourteen Men Killed and Twenty
scouts Captured by Beers.

LONDON, March 9-The report that Lord
Botha, ommander-in-chief of the Boer
forces in South Africa, has been confirmed,
and it is expected terms of surrender will
be agreed on to-day. Lorenzo Marques
advices say that Kitchener has granted
Botha an armistice of seven days to enable
him to confer with the other generals.
Official circles in London regard the an
nouncement of the armistice with the
greatest satisfaction. They point out that
Ii must have been granted on the solicita-
ton of the Beers, and take the view that
General Kitchener would never have con-
sented to it unless he felt practically sure
that it would result in an important ad-
vance toward the termination of all hostili-
ties.
Dispatches from Pretoria, dated yester-
day, say General Kitchener and General
Botha had lengthy conference on Gun
hill Friday morning. General Botha was
alone and General Kitchener was accom-
panied by his secretary. According to the
London Sun the surrender of General Botha
would have been an accomplished fact be-
fore now had General Kitchener been in 1.
position to conclude the terms of surrender.
When the surrender occurs, the Sun adds.
suppression of General De Wet, and will
involve the termination of the war.
The Daily Chronicle, referring to the
armistice at Pretoria, says: I'VE learn that
the untiring agent in bringing about the
negotiations was Mrs. Botha, who was
deeply affected by the hopeless plight of
the Beers and did her utmost to induce her
husband to accept British terms. The meet
ing of Feb. q was limited to General
Botha's request to know Lord Kitchener s
terms. Lord Kitchener replied that a gen.
eral amnesty would be granted to all who
surrendered, as well as to all prisoners
except those Cape Dutch who, being Brit
ish subjects, had actively fomented British
resistance. General De Wet and Mr. Steyn
were, however. expressly excluded from the
amnesty. Lord Kitchener further prom
ised that, if peace were concluded
the government would assist in rebuilding
the farmhouses and other buildings de-
stroyed under military exigencies. would
reinstate the lawful owners and would
help them stock their farms. Those guilty
of acts Of treachery would be excluded
from these benefits General Botha APP
peared satisfied with the conditions, and
the armistice being arranged, he proceeded
TO consult his officers, a vast majority of
whom accepted the terms. De Wet and
Steyn both remained irreconcilable. They
declined any terms, De Wet adding that,
on his part, the war had become one of re-
venge and he intended to do all the mis-
chief he could. 1t is probable that the orig
inal armistice of week has been extended.
1t is believed that the remainder of Gen.
Bothas officers have now been won around
and that he is likely TO make formal sub
mission to Lord Kitchener, March IL. when
his force will surrender to General
French"
