Of solution, but the problem of citi-
zenship Is comparatively easy. 1t
may be impossible to shut our gates
against the great influx of aliens who
are annually pouring in from the
slums of Europe, but it is not i'm
possible to put up the bars of citizen
ship, and thereby prevent the charac-
ter of the electorate from deteriorat
ing,
Party ''bosses" and party ma
chimes" in the large cities are primari-
ly responsible for the admission to
citizenship of persons who are not
qualified to undertake its responsible
ties, but it is the duty of the courts
to protect the country from such
abuses. The manner in which ignor
ant foreigners are transformed into
American citizens every year imme-
diately preceding an election, and are
given the right to vote upon questions
which they do not understand and in
which they have absolutely no inter
est, Is a national disgrace. 1t belittles
the dignity Of citizenship; it makes
citizenship merely a name instead of
an honor; it becomes a source of posi-
tive peril.
The time has come to call a halt.
While there can be no possible valid
objection to comforting citizenship
upon intelligent persons born upon
foreign soil and DESTROYS of making
their homes IN America, there is every
reason why those who are ignorant of
our language and of the spirit of our
institutions should be debarred from
its privileges. The remuneration of
allegiance to their native land means
nothing to them, and the act of be-
coming a naturalized American means
still less.
1t Is well, also, TO call attention, as
has been done frequently heretofore,
to the fact that the term of residence
IN this country required in order to
acquire naturalization papers, is alto
gether too short. The percentage of
foreigners who are able within five
years TO gain a knowledge Of our pub
lie affairs sufficient to warrant their
participation in saying who shall
make our laws and what those laws
shall be, is small when compared with
those who never famiharize them
selves with public questions. The ma
tive American youth must attain the
age Of twenty-one years before he
comes into possession of those rights
and privileges which are conferred
upon ignorant foreign adults IN the
brief period Of five years. Ten years
Is none too short a time for a for
eigner to be among US before we ad-
nit him to citizenship.

forfeit her constitutional rights to the
succession of the throne of England, is
at her country chateau OF PeIesch, in the
Roumanian highlands and has her favor

American Citizenship.
1t Should Be Protected From Wholesale
Admission of Ignorant Foreigners.

In refusing to grant naturalization
papers TO sixty applicants who were
unable to speak the English language,
Judge Gregor, Of the Albany, n. Y
county court, has established a prece-
dent which should be followed By
every judge in the country before
whom a foreigner appears seeking cit
izenship. If, after a residence Of five
years IN this country, where English
is the prevailing tongue, an alien has
failed to master the language suf-
fcientiy to conduct an ordinary con
versation and make himself under
stood. he is unfit to assume the duties
of citizenship. If he knows nothing
Ur the language Of the country, he
can know little or nothing Of its insti-
tutions.

the fiocculent white precipitate of lead
arsenate. This is easily kept in sus-
pension and can be used in excessive
strengths on delicate plants without
the addition of lime. There are sever
al preparations of lead arsenate on the
market which are excellent, some be-
ing in wet state and others in dry,
powdered form. The wet preparations
are preferable, as the dry arsenate
does not give such filmy and adher-
ing coat to the foliage.
At all times the greatest care should
be taken to prevent accident with
these compounds, which are of the
most poisonous nature. All packages,
boxes or bottles containing these ma
terials should be plainly labeled and
kept in some place that can be Sc
curely locked. The utensils in which
the mixtures are prepared should be
thoroughly cleansed.

FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BIB CURED.

Backed up by over third of century
of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
third of century. From this fact it will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece-
dented and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly twin out" as the
saying goes, on such proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world-famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing Such marvellous OHer as IS
above made in the utmost good faith.

scription,'" says Mrs H. S. jones' of Forest.
N. G. vWhen 1 began its use was a physical
wreck and had despaired of ever having any

other symptoms of female disease. After taking
six bottles of Favorite Prescription felt like

cures, do not accept substitute which has
none of these cures to its credit.

# is a great advantage to have the
nozzles set at an angle from the axis

ing the extension the spray can be
thrown in all directions among the
branches. The spray must be applied
with great force GO to 100 pounds or
more) in order that the stream be
broken into fine mist.
The tank may vary from 5O-gallon
barrel to tank of $50 gallons capac-
ity. which may be mounted on an
ordinary wagon; a barrel may be
bauled on a sled The tanks should
be solidly built and held together with
iron rods If the trees are tall, 1T Will

ponds upon many factors, as distance
of water supply, size of trees and num-
Der of men and nOzzles. Three men
with 2OO-gallon tank and two lines OF
hose, each fitted with two nozzles, can
spray about $50 average-sized trees per
day.

dealers in spraying apparatus have
placed machines of this kind upon the
market A majority of these are well
adapted to the work for which they are
intended, but many valuable improve
ments can yet be made which will in
crease the efficiency of these machines
with but little cost. In general, the
size of engine to be preferred is l.
horse power. The cooling tanks used
with the engines are intended to be
used when the water cannot be re-
newed frequently, and are about one
foot in diameter. In spraying, the wa
ter can be renewed often and the
weight can be reduced considerably
by making these tanks of much
smaller diameter Purchasers are al
ways given full directions in regard to
the care and running or the engine,
SO that ordinarily but little difficulty
Is met. The engine is best placed at
the rear end of the wagon frame and

ket and many others which the fruit
grower can prepare himself.
Paris green is probably the best
known of these arsenicals. 1t is a
definite chemical compound of arsenic,
copper, and acetic acid and should
have a uniform composition. 1t is
rather coarse powder and has the fault
of settling rapidly. In the East 1t costs
20 cents pound, while in the West
the cost is 25 cents.
Paris green may be prepared for
spraying as follows:
Paris green. ....... pounds 1
Lime ............... do TO II
Water. ............. gallons lOO TO z5O
The lime should be fresh and should
be Stacked in quantities as needed.
Mix the Paris green with a little water
until paste is formed, and then add
this to the required amount of water,
to which the lime has been added. A
good average strength to use is 1
pound to $50 gallons, but it must be
weaker on trees with delicate foliage,
such as peach. Many fruit growers
are using it on apple trees as strong
as 1 pound to 100 gallons.
Scheele's green is similar to Paris
green, but differs from it in lacking
the acetic acid. 1t is much finer
powder than Paris green and more
easily kept in suspension, and it costs
only about half as much.
London purple is waste product in
the manufacture of aniline dyes and
contains a number of substances, the
principal ones being arsenic and lime
1t is variable in composition, is not so
effective as the other poisons, and is
now but little used for spraying.
Scheele's green and London purple
are prepared for spraying in the same
way as Paris green.
White arsenic compounds, made by
combining other chemicals with white
arsenic, form class of excellent
spraying materials. Arsenic used alone
seriously burns the foliage.

The gasoline engines are usually lit
ted up for running such pump by
means of connecting rod which can
be attached to the piston of the pump.
While filling the tank the spray pump
can be disconnected or, more easily,
the suction hose can be taken out of
the tank. The tank may be made OF
wood or of galvanized iron. 1t should
be thoroughly braced and should never
be made to hold over $50 gallons. 1t
should be placed nearest the horses,
because of it's great weight when full
of the spraying solution. The best
agitator is a paddle wheel, with pad
dies placed at an angle on vertical
shaft BY means of bevel gearing and
a belt, power is obtained from the en-
CINE. The engines, pumps and tank
are mounted on solid frame, which is
placed upon a low wagon. The low
steel-wheeled wagons are highly pref
cradle, as the tires, which should never
be less than six inches wide, prevent
the machine from sinking into the soft
earth. Platforms can be built on the
sides, upon which the operator can
stand. With bamboo extension and
long-range nozzles set at an angle
every part of lie trees can be easily
sprayed. Only two men are needed
to operate this outfit: One drives, the
other starts and stops the engine, and
both spray. With this machine TOO
S-year-old trees can easily be sprayed
in one day; by rushing, more may be
done. 1t takes from four to five min
utes to fill the 150-gallon tank and
from thirty to forty minutes to spray
out the same amount on from sixty
to eighty trees, using about 2R gal
Ions per tree. In an irrigated orchard
care must be taken to let the ground
become dry before spraying is done,
because if the ground is soft the ma
chine may mire down, especially when
the tank is full.
The cost of these machines varies
with the cost of the engines and
pumps. The machine with which the
writer is most familiar cost 1920, in
Guiding $40 wagon. With good care
and proper repairs these machines
ought to last many years. In work
ing day of ten hours l-horse power
engine consumes about gallon of gas
oline. The engine can be made to pay
for itself by other uses which may be
made of it, such as running the cider
press, the feed cutter, the cream sep
arator, or the wood saw, turning the
grindstone, and doing numerous other
things. The wagon can be used for
other purposes when not needed for
spraying.
