HE'S OPTIMISTIC.
John Macdonald Says Apple Crop Is
Not Ruined.


John Macdonald. the editor of the
Western School Journal. claims that the
apple crop has not been killed at all,
and that the reports that the late snow
ruined crop prospects are not justified
by IN examination of the trees. He has
just visited his farm nine miles south of
town and has brought back several
twigs filed with the tiny apples. Just
past the poisoning. Under the glass
these buds appear to be green and
sound. Mr.. Macdonald admits that in
many places the trees look brown and
Withered from the cold but he says that
a close examination on even these trees
indicates that enough fruit Is left to
make very respectable showing. AL
though grapes suffered heavily by the
snow he says that fruit men promise
that the buds win start out again and
that the grapes Will bear.
Secretary W. H. Barnes of the State
Horticultural society is also optimistic.
He said yesterday:
Il have had good many inquiries
about the grapes, and some letters from
grape owners, asking what they had
better do The best way is to do moth
ing at all, but just let nature take its
course. ! think that the grape vines
VIII all send out new shoots, and that
there viii be very good yield of grapes.
There Will only be one or two lunches
on the new shoots where the average
on the first shoots is three, or sometimes
even five, but the chances are that they
will be large and well developed. This
VIII, Of course make them later coming
on, and in some parts of the state,
where it is likely to be drouthy later in
the season, that may have a bad effect.
The fact that some of the cherries
have been dropping off has led people
to believe that the frost was the cause
of it. 1t is always the case, however.
that both cherries and apples drop off
in considerabl numbers. as they are al
ways more of them set than could pos
sibly develop properly"

FINNEY THE FIRST.
Will Try Plan to Issue Irrigation
Bonds.

Under the new law what are known
as Irrigation bitches can be formed in
Kansas, similar to sewer districts in
cities. These irrigation districts can is
sue bonds for the purpose of building
irrigation plants the same as sewer dis
tricts build sewers
An irrigation district in Finney eoun-
ty Will soon issue bonds under this
law to build an irrigation plant to tap
tine Arkansas valley underfiow along
the line indicated ia an interview in the
State Journal week ago by I. L.
Diesem of Garden City. The idea is to
dig an immense well. tapping the un-
derfioW and then run a sewer pipe from
Just below the top of the water out on
a level until it comes on top of the
ground which it will do a mile or two
below the WELL and then extend the
pipe two or three miles further in order
to form a siphon. 1t IS believed that
when this pipe is once filed with wa
ter it will flow continually without fur
Their pumping.
1t will be necessary to fill the pipe by
pumping only in the spring. When II
is desired to shut off the flow a valve
can be closed at the lower end of the
pipe thereby leaving it full of water,
which will again start the flow when
the valve is opened. Before frost comes
in the fall, however. it viii be neces-
sary to close a valve at the upper end
of the pipe. thereby allowing 1t to drain
Otherwise it might freeze and burst.
In the spring, then it would be neces-
sary to use a pump to fill the pipe

Finney county. is now making the sur
veys for the plant, and as soon as they
are finished it is proposed to issue the
bonds to build the plant.

PICKINGs FOR PICKENs.
Is Asked to Become Head of a New
Government in Hayti.

OOVCLu1u6ub II 0AYLls
New York. May William Pickens.
the negro who won the junior exhibi-
ton prize at Yale, has been asked to
become the head Of a new Afro-Ameri-
can republic to be established in Hayti,
says q World dispatch from New
Haven. Conn In his grafton which won
the prize Pickens discussed T1ayti's free
dom and declared against it.
The scheme is to effect a conquest of
the island of Hayti by American
negroes and to set up a government,
Utopian in character The junta of the
movement is at Sturgis, Ky, and the
correspondent of the society is n. L.
Musgrove. He asks that Mr.. Pickens
act as secre tary and board member in
this section and says that the Yale
man would eventually be chosen as
president of the society It is also sug-
gested that he take the lecture plat
form and raise funds for the Organiza-
ton
Mr.. Pickens when seen said that he
had the matter under consideration and
would seek advice before enlisting his
services in the movement. In discuss
ing the plan he said:
Innovations and novelties in the
methods of government are proposed
after Hayti has been overcome. While
the government would be Republican
in its political formation it would be
administered as a gigantic Orporation,
of which all members of the society
would be stockholders. All land titles
and franchises are to be vested IN the
state All dangerous and incorrisible
criminals viii be provisioned and set
adrift on the sea to seek other shores.
agriculture. manufacturing and all
other profitable industries are to be en-
couraged.
public schools are to be established
and liberty is to be widespread. but
the rights of each individual are to be
bounded by the equal rights of every
other"
