To the Editor OF The Republican.
Apropos to our recent curbstone
conversation in reference to the APP
preaching Farmers Institute for Gar
rett county at Oakland the 18th
and Sth proximo, please permit Inc as
supplement to our street talk to say
a few words through your columns in
support and plea of the object of this
gathering
To the obseryant farmer keeping
himself by close reading and intelli-
gent application well abreast with
modern requirements and inventions
in the vide, fresh field of agriculture,
this simple communication will bear
no significance save, perhaps, as a
timely reminder of the days appoint
ed for the meeting of the conven-
ton, the first Tuesday and the
second Wednesday in January. Every
farm today titled in the bounds of
Ga rrett can well afford to be repre-
scented in the two days delibera
tions of body so important to farm
life and practice. 1t is known to all
who have improved the opportunity
in previous years by attending these
meetings that each session is presided
over by Prof. w. l.. Amos, a gentle
man who has gathered valuable
knowledge of the best management of
the grange by personal observation
in many of our most progressive states
and communities and who, while
holding himself in the background
apparently as a silent factor, skillfully
controls and directs the drift of pro-
ceedings to the broadcast scope and
most lucid comprehension of the
questions under discussion. While
Prof. Amos quickly drops the gavel
of suppression upon the meaningless
talk of the mere time server, he solic-
its questions appertaining to all sub
jects considered and cheerfully Sc
cures reasonable opportunity for any
remarks, suggestions or explanations
useful in any industrial or economic
department of the plantation life.
To these institutes Prof. Amos al
ways brings thoroughly informed ex-
perts, each to lecture upon a particu-
lar theme of vital interest to the agri-
culturist. These lecturers are. pro-

lieve that almost without exception
we will be forced to admit that it has
been neglected, and by so doing we
are strangling the goose that would
lay us the golden egg. But imagine
that hear some one say: THAT is
all very well, but we cannot afford so
much time or work. But why not
if there is money in it? Let us con-
slider. We have a soil and climate
we'll adapted to apple culture. Land
is cheap. We all have pillow and har-
row, manure and lime. Pruning is
not difficult. Any one who can cult
vate corn can tend the orchard.
Borers are not hard to cut out when
you know what you are looking for.
The spray pump and materials are
not expensive and can be obtained i'll
Oakland. The work you will find
easily and quickly done. 1t takes
time to pick apples by hand, but it is
the only way to obtain perfect fruit.
Good young trees can be obtained for

with care can set them out. If there
is any point which you do not under
stand attend the Farmers Institute
and learn about it.
| have estimated that we should ex-
pect our orchard to yield an average
of IS per tree or $50 per acre. For
cultivation, care, picking, etc, | al
low $50 per acre, which would leave
a net profit OF 1920 per acre or for ten
acres total of $1,000. How many of
us are making that amount from any
ten acres upon the farm?
In Baltimore an authentic case was
cited where an orchardist in New
York had this year obtained $54 for
the apples picked from one Baldwin
tree. By system and care such as
have outlined it has become profita-
BILE for men to take 10 year lease of
an old run down orchard, paying a
good rental, and they can so improve
the yield as to make large profits.
Now a final and most important
word as to our market. We must for
ourselves get together and select
those varieties of late keeping winter
apples which have proved by actual
trial best adopted to our particular
soil and climate. Then select not
more than four or five kinds and cul-
tivate them only. At first while our
trees are growing we can use local
markets and the mining towns on
Georges Creek, but when it becomes
known that Garrett county is produc-
ing good quality of standard mar
ket apples buyers for the city and ex-
port trade will come as they do now
in Albemarle county, Va, and Jeffer-
son county, w. Va. and buy our
fruit upon the trees, and another
profitable industry will be established
for our citizens.
had hoped in this letter to give
some account of the we'll attended

Towson, in Baltimore county. | fear,
however, that | may even now have
tired my readers, so will not continue,
but before closing would advise all
who can to attend the institute to be
held in Oakland next week. believe
all will find the meetings interesting,
and if you carry away but one new
idea or method which you can put in

you for attendance.

Stop the
Blight

1t is a sad thing to see fine
fruit trees spoiled by the blight.
You can always tell them from
the rest. They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
1t is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.

that blight. There is no
reason why such a child should
stay small. SCOTS Emulsion

mis- majesty's Protestant subjects from
the Jesuit INVASION"
The comment of the Catholic Tran
script upon the catalogue of crimes
charged against the Jesuits by these
English bgots is also copied by the
News. and thereby serves the purpose
of imparting to the Mormon mind
knowledge understandable through the
ordinary channels of news. For this
courtesy the Jesuits are probably in
debted to the clipping editor.
The editor-in-chief, however. OBJ
serves nothing in the reproduction
from the Transcript but Justification
of d previous remark made in contro-
versy with this paper, that the Jes-
uits had bad reputation. We are
perfectly willing 10 let his explanation
stand so long as the clipping goes with
ii, although the Pickwickian a"gu-
ment is set up by the News that cd
itorial statement need not mean edi-
toriaI endorsement.
If bad regulations" are obtained
through: bigotry and malice. then it be
comes difficult to define good reputa-
lions. Reputation is at the mercy OF
ignorance and falsehood. Under such
an Interpretation OF reputation, all
Catholics in this country are in bad
repute, because the A. p. AS allege
they are in conspiracy to overthrow
the government and set up the pope in
power at Washington. The English
bigOts charge the Jesuits among 9TH
err things, with murder and regicide,
and that their presence is menace
to the king and his subjects. OF course
the intelligent portion of the English
people know better and the effect of
this TRADE against the Jesuits will be
to call attention to an obsolete law
against them so that legislation may
be had for its repeal. But, all the
same. reasoned out according to- Des-
eret News logic, it is not the bigots
who have the bad reputation, but the
objects of their malice; not the Giver,

Some Thoughts For To-Day.

NTINE out of ten persons who PICK
N up a paper this morning will be
= reminded in some way that today
is the twenty-second of February, and
state holiday. Some paragraph may
appear telling about a proposed cele-
bration in honor of Washington. One
will read it; the other nine will skip it.
No better proof is needed of the decay of
American colonial hero worship. If
any love for early traditions remain III
the American heart, the flame is kept
alive by our children. Fortunately
they cannot comprehend, like their ell
ders, a republic reaching out and OBJ
tanning by conquest an empire spread
ing over two hemispheres. The chill
dren are charmed by the story of the
War for independence; their sympa-
thies go out to the suffering patriots at
Valley Forge; their young blood leaps
over the affair at Trenton and the sur
render of the Hessians. From LeXing-
ton TO Yorktown our children repeat
the history of Washington, as we
learned it long ago and loved it long
ago. Now the F'unstons and
the Bells take his place in the
American heart. Washington is good
enough for children only.
Today, in spots throughout the Union,
a militia company may turn out, or
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton may drink tea. BY mere coin
cidence, Blanche Walsh is in Salt
Lake, and among her repertoire is the
play of Janice Meredith" a drama
founded on d revolutionary novel in
which Washington appears. To at
a lofty patriotic duty, in the minds of
some patrons; but the chances are
that half who attend go to see Blanche
Walsh and will be surprised at the
stage apparition of Washington. In
other places some orator with the
courage of conviction will admonish
his listeners TO remain steadfast to the
principles won at Yorktown and incor-
porated into the federal government by
the fathers. The verdict of half who
listen will be that the orator is an anti
imperialist and his language calculated
TO keep alive rebellion against armed
authority in the Philippines.
Iconoclasts have already begun to
destroy the inqocent traditions which
made the character of the great WASH
ington a lovely one for the nursery
an example of morality, of truth, of
Lonor. Some comparisons favor Bene-
diet Arnold as a general. John Adams
is quoted as writing down the
Father of His Country" a
blockhead in craftsmanship. All
agree that if he lived in this
day he would be a fellow of no con
And so would he be. We're
it not for our children.
God bless our American children.
They are the sap of the tree of free
dom. Their sires are the withered
branches of decayed liberty. fit only
for the fire of Imperialism.

and his people, which extend close on
half a century. Especially throughout
the archdiocese of Armagh, the loss OF
Father Larkin is deeply deplored. A
| long account is also given of the flu
neral, and, judging from the large
number who followed the remains to the
cemetery, the eulogy given by the cor
respondent of the Irish paper only
briefly outlines the genuine sorrow OF
the Irish people for their old parish

the people of the parish of Aardtrea,
amongst whom he labored for over
thirty years, and none will appreciate
more fully his merit and the loss his
death entails
The deceased first saw the light in
Ballinderry, in the year 1929, and at an
early age went to Armagh seminary,
where he distinguished himself by close
and brilliant study. He subsequently
attended Maynooth college, and in the
year 1856 was ordained priest. Soon
afterwards he was appointed dean and
general manager of the seminary at Ar

beloved by the students and citizens
alike, and it was with feelings of re-

The report that Mr.. Schwab gambled
at Monte Carlo has excited consider
able discussion over the point where
games of chance begin to be gambling
and offensive to morals. From theo-
logical standpoint. Archbishop Ryan
says: Il was very glad to learn that
a dispatch from Mr.. Schwab himself
positively denies the report. All play
ing for exorbitant sums is reprehen-
sfble No contract is justifiabie in
which neither reason nor proportion is
observed. No man should stake el~
blind chance a sum which. if lost,
would not only distress himself, but
others. AS many other sins are almost
inseparably connected with gambling,
it should be discountenanced, To play
at game of chance for mere amuse-
ment or for so small sum as would
be virtually regarded as nothing, can
not be condemned"
