Horticultural Experiments.

At the recent meeting OF the station
Council, Professor Munson who has
charge of the horticultural work of the
Station gave brief outline of the work
finished during the year, and OF that at
present under way, as follows:
The tests of Russian apples and OF
other hardy varieties for the colder
parts of the state have been practically
completed and the results set forth in
Bulletin 81.
Experiments in the culture and fer
tilization of orchards, as conducted in
Kennebec County, are reported in Bull
letin so. In this bulletin figures and
photographs illustrate most clearly the
advantage of cultivation as compared
with other treatment.
Orchard cover crops for the purposes
of protection and of gathering nitrogen
have received attention at the Station
orchard in Orono. Spring and winter
vetches, yellow lupine, velvet bean, rye
and oats are among the crops used.
The work will be continued.
The study of apples native to the state,
which was begun last year, is being con-
tinued. A number of the most valuable
Maine seedlings have been grated into
the Russian orchard which is gradually
being top-worked into an orchard OF
Maine varieties.
Cooperative studies of seed and soil
problems with the U. 5. Department of
Agriculture were carried on last year
and will be continued. The most inn
portant of these studies is a comparison
of elovers from different parts of the
world with a view to learning the best
source of seed.
In addition to the lines already sug-
geSted it is proposed for the coming
wear TO start a dwarf pear orchard; to
begin an investigation of the Japanese
plums and their hybrids as bearing
upon plum culture in northern New
England; to study the potency OF pollen
of different varieties of apples as bearing
upon the position of trees in an orchard ;
TO ascertain if possible the reason for
failure of reciprocal crosses; and to con-
tinue the study of some minor problems
of crossing and culture which have re-
ceived attention in the past.
The horticultural work is planned
with a view to working out principles
rather than isolated facts, but in work
ing out these general principles of hor-
ticulture the specific needs of the state
are given the first consideration.
The bulletins will be sent free to all
residents of Maine who apply TO the
Agricultural Experiment Station, Orono,
Me. In writing, please mention this

Future Relations With Philippines

Lincoln" correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, has been touring
the Philippines making study of the
conditions there with the purpose of
determining what bearing these shall
have on our future relations with the
islands. He gives his conclusions in a
letter recently published in the Tran
script. They are, in brief, as follows:
THAT there is absolutely no hope
that Americans can be coIonized in
the Philippines.
THAT if we were TO hold the islands
for the next half century, at the end
of that time only a handful of Amer
leans, and these officials and a few
merchants would be resident there,
and that even these would remain but
a short time, to be succeeded by 9TH
ers who would rotate in turn. That
the Philippines can never occupy
closer relations with us than India oc-
cupies with England"
These conclusions are based in OBJ
servation and study of actual condi-
tions. The history of the caucasians
in tropical countries, observes the
Dubuque Telegraph, bears out the as
sertion of Lincoln. Efforts to colon
lie them have failed in every case.
Holland is the best colonizer in the
world, yet her administration of Java
has been a signal failure. The French
have been compelled to compromise
with their tropical subjects. England
has really failed in India though the
protest is kept up that her relations
are in the experimental stage as
yet.
The tropics brutalize the caucasian
Continuing residence there is a living
death for him. The fact that we have
STUFF in us that other people lack,
may influence the idea that we are
immune even to the tropics. If we
"set the jaw and distend the nostrir
we might succeed but there would be
relaxation in the tropics even under
the inspiring platitudes and vigorous
strenuosity of the most illustrious of
our imperialists.

railroad seventy-fiye years old.

The New York Commercial notes the
fact that the 18th anniversary of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
occurs this month. That road is pre-
sumably therefore the venerable faith
er of all our numerous railroads. The
'scorner stone" of the road which was
designed to mark the Bargaining of
the construction was laid with elabor-
ate ceremonies in July, 1928. Shortly
before the laying of that corner
stone newspaper in Baltimore was
asked by one of its subscribers what
was railroad, anyway. The editor
was forced to admit, that he did not
know. but added: perhaps one of
our subscribers can tell The first
trains over the Baltimore & Ohio
were hauled by horses. At first large
sails were used in fair weather to
help the trains along. 1t was not I'M
til several years afterward that steam
locomotives began to be used. The
newspaper account at the time said:
The steam engines have proved to be
wonderful success. They can easily
haul more than four horses can pull,
and can travel as fast as a trotting
horse on good road"

Postmasters all over the country

to inform the general public of the
necessity of writing the name of the
state on envelopes addressed to large
cities 1t is the custom, the Washing

simply Louisville. New York, Chicago.

that many states have towns bearing
the same name.
For instance, a letter addressed to
Louisville could properly be forward

Foreign Gums For war Department.

The secretary of war announces that
the necessity has arisen to provide the
regular army and the militia with the
newly adopted field guns. and although
the ordnance department and all the
private esta blishments in the United
States are turning out guns as fast as
they can be manufactured. an order
for fifty modern field guns has been
placed in Germany. What this haste in
dlcateS is not stated, but to go abroad
In times.Of peace for guns that our own
artisans are supposed to make more
perfectly needs explanation. AS the
people are being tariff taxed to protect
our manufactures. it would seem that
the administration would reserve any
work it has to offer for our own me-
ehanics. 1t is hardly possible that con-
gress appropriated money to be spent
for the benefit of foreigners. The labor
unions should call on Secretary Root
to explain.

Burge, of Martinsville, Va. Il suffer
ed from chronic diarrhoea for 10
years and during that time tried var
ious medicines without obtaining any
permanent relief. Last summer one
of my children was taken with chol-
era morbus, and 1 procured a bottle
of this remedy. Only two doses were
required to give her entire relief. 1
then decided to try the medicine my
self, and 1 did not use all of one bot

favor of that wonderful medicine"
