Appropriation Vetess

The legislature having passed bills
making appropriations from the gen.
eral fund of the state exceeding by
about 100000 the estimates of the
states revenues for the next two years,
it was Cup to the governor" to do some
vigorous pruning, and he did it by
vetoing specific items of the "omnbus
appropriation bill' aggregating $780,
000 Among the measures vetoed was
the bill providing for the establishment
of branch of the state soldiers home,
which he disapproves not only because
"the revenues of the state are not such
as to Justify this expenditure" but be-
cause he is opposed to "the policy of
scattering" state institutions, which
he thinks could be maintained much
more cheaply "had they been grouped
at two or three central points," All the
appropriations for state roads were
vetoed and also the appropriation for a
state exhibit at the Lewis & Clark
Centennial Exhibition at Portland i'm
1905, for which he thinks there will be
ample time for the next legislature tn
make suitable provision. The gov
ernor deserves the commentator of
the people for the manner in which he
has discharged disagreeable duty,
which it was an imposition for the
legislature to impose upon him.

TREE TREATMENT.
COMMISSIONERS OF HoRTICULTHRE
ON CARE OF TREES
Pierce County Fruit Inspector Rebuked
for Giving Erroneous Advico-Bor-
deanx Mixture will Not Kill Black
Spot-Treatment for Rose Scale.

In communication to the Tacoma
Ledger State Commissioner of Hort-
culture A. Van Holderbeke takes the
Pierce county frrit inspector to task
for giving some advice i'm an article re-
Gently published in the Ledger which
the commissioner says is "liable to
cause great deal OF damage to owners
of fruit trees" Mr.. Holderbeke says:
"The gentleman recommends your
readers to wash young trees every year
with soap suds.
Before washing or spraying a tree,
you have to know first what insect or
disease you have to combat. We know
by experience that it is necessary to-
apply different remedies for different
insects and diseases. Consequently
soap suds are not general remedy for
all enemies. In soap suds there is pot
ash, which is very effective to kin moss
and some insects.
"He says: Bordeaux mixturs will
kill black spot
| "This is a great error. If Bordeaux
mixture would cure black spot this
disease would have disappeared for
many years. but instead of disappear
ing it is increasing.
"He says: 'Chalnber lye and kero-
sene will kill the rose scale
II do not think this was ever tried,
and neither do l suppose it would do
any good, but lime. sulphur and salt
solution will do the work.
"He says: Applying sulphur to the
roots
"This looks to be possible to many
farmers and many have wasted time
and money in trying it. If the plant
could eat, then there might be chance
of some sulphur to get into the trees;
but what the plants take from the soil
is taken up through very small hair
roots which we cannot see with our
naked eye. What the tree takes from
the soil has to be decomposed and
brought into liquid state.
"The gentleman states furthermore:
Bore hole in the tree and put in sui
phur; plug up the hole, and no more
| insects.
"The sap in the tree travels from cell
to cell. In boring the hole the cells
around the hole are destroyed and dry
out, consequently the sap will never
come in contact with the sulphur. If
it were possible to apply such remedies
to nature, then it would be possible to
raise apples as sour as lemons or as
sweet as honey or as fragrant as roses.
81 hope the public will read these
few remarks, and if they need any
remedies for insects or diseases they
can obtain them by writing to the. Ag-
ricultural college at Pullman, or write
to the state horticultural commissioner,
who will prescribe only such remedies
as have proven through experience to
be effective"

LOPEZ ISLAND SOILS
RESULTS OF ANALYSES AT STATE
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
Three Samples of Different Kinds of Soil
"epbrted to BE Deficient in Potash
Lime Most Abundant in Peat Soil
Potash Fertilizer Needed.

Bulletin No. .55 issued by the State
Agricultural College and School of
Science is devoted to Washington
Soils" and gives the results OF chemical
analyses of 70 soil samples from Is
counties, three of them having been
sent from Lopez island bv A. f. Sha-
del. Of these samples Numbered A,
As and 46) the Bulletin says:
"There are three distinct types of
soil found on this island, as well as on
the mainland of the Puget Sound re-
gion, viz: ~ muck or peat, which is
frequently used for agricultural pur-
poses; ~ alder bottom land; (3) red fir
upland. Occasionally all three of these
types may be found on single farm.
No. A is sample of the muck, and
Nos. As and AS, mixtures of the alder
b pttom and red fir upland soils. No.
A. has been under cultivation for two
years, without use of fertilizers, while
No. 46 is the same soil uncultivated, al
though having been five years in sod.
"The most remarkable thing about
these soils is the absence Of VEGETABLE
amounts of potash. Such surprising
analytical results with reference to this
element, were not accepted until re-
determinations had shown their ac-
curacy. While potash percentages are
as rule low in western Washington,
we are entirely unable to account for
this unparalled case. 1t goes without
saying that these soils can never be
hi ghly productive or permanent with
out the use of potash fertilizers. No. Al
may be considered as a fairly repre-
sentative sample of agricultural peat.
It has satisfactory percentages of phos-
phorlc acid and nitrogen. 1t is not.ce-
able in all the samples of peat thus far
examined that the percentage of lime
is greatly In excess of that found IN
true soils in the same locality. This is
probably partially due to the fact that
generally the peat is found in low
places and may have received the
washings containing line from the
high levels; and partly due to its meth
cd of formation-the ash of leaves and
twigs containing a considerable amount
of lime"

Fred Anderson went to Fairhaven
the first of the week to install the ma
chinery in Henry Cayou's new steamer
"Mary CO. built by Reed & Cayou at
Decatur island and which steamboat
men say will be one of the finest tugs
on the Sound. She is So feet long and
will be equipped with a modern 300
horsepower engine. The boiler, which
was built by the Reid Boiler Works, of
Fairhaven, is ten feet long and ten
feet high, the largest boiler ever built
on the Sound, outside of the Moran
works at Seattle. When completed
the vessel will have cost about 500, 900.
Mr.. Anderson is to be the engineer. 1t
is expected that the Mary G. will be in
commission in about six weeks and
that she will be employed either in the
fisheries or by lumber company.

rNoTE-The potash deficiency which
seems to be especially marked in the
Lopez island samples reported upon, is
characteristic of most localities in western
Washington, where a deficiency of lime
in the soils is also quite general. Per-
centages of both lime and potash are gem
orally low in the soils Of regions of high
rainfall, but that cannot be the reason for
the deficiency in this county, where the
raipfal is not high.-ED.

o. Mr.. Lorenz was formerly postmas-
ter at Toledo.
Mr. Machen claims that his part
nership with Lorenz was a strictly le-
eliminate one, and that fhe checks
transmitted to him by Lorenz We're
in connection with the mining bust
ness which the firm conducted.
Mr.. Machen furthers informs his
friends that he was not partner of
the Croft Brothers concern, and that
he did not receive any of the profits
from the sale of the letter box fast
ener to the government. His coun-
sci tonight made statement, say
ing:
Upon Mr.. Machen's arrest we de-
manded an immediate hearing, which
was opposed by the government, and at
the request of the government con-
tinuance was had until June 6. Mr..
Machen and his counsel had every rea-
son to believe that in the interim no
steps would be taken to deny him the
preliminary examination to which ne
was entitled. The authorities re-
sponsible for the issuance of this war
rant have seen proper to bring the same
charges now pending before Commits
sioner Taylor to the attention of the
grand jury. The grand jury has IN
consequence indicted Mr.. Machen be-
fore the date fixed for the full hearing
before the United States commissioners.
IF YOU want the reasons for this
proceeding you will have to seek it
from the prosecution. We do not know.
We can only surmise. and that much
the public can as we'll do as counsel
for the defense. Suffice it to say that
the legal effect of this course of policy.
(Which is unusual and unfair, if not
unprecedented in this jurisdiction) is
70 Il IAfa don Of IN
public investigation into the truth of
these charges, to which he is fairly en-
titled. and which a sound public policy
Vouchsafes to him.
