CUBA RATIFIES TREATY.
SENATE ADOPTS THE RECIPROC- ITY CONVENTION.

Had Just n Two-thirdls Vote--Omly One
 Nationalist Voted tn Favor-senti-
 ment Expressed That the Treaty
 Gould Result No Other Way Than us
 Benefit to Cuba.
 Havana, March 1.-The senate to- day by a vote of 16 to ratified the reciprocity treaty with the United States.
 The treaty was thus ratified by ex- actly two-thirds of the vote of the sen ate. Fifteen republican conservatives, or administration senators, and one na- tionalist voted in favor of the treaty and five nationalists against 1t. There were three absentees, all of whom, it is Believed, favored the treaty. The rati- fication required only majority vote, so that there were three votes to spare. Senor Zayas, the only nationalist who voted for ratification explaining his NOlS, SdIu IL was HIS uCSlIS lJ dillelu the treaty with reference to the ex- change of similar commodities produc- ed in both countries, but he had no in- tention of opposing the treaty itself. Senor Sanguilly, the leader of the oppo- sition made the mysterious explana- tion that his opposition was designed chiefly to draw out whatever could be advanced in support of the treaty. and that the arguments of Senator Busta-
 mento, as put forward in the senate, l concede that the country would be more prosperous with reciprocity than without it, but nevertheless his attitude
 of opposition of disapproval of the facts
 of the executive department of the gov- ,ernment forbade his voting yes. The vote was taken immediately on the conclusion of a forceful appeal by Senator Bustamento. He insisted that whether the trust or the producers were
 the chief beneficiaries of the 20 per cent. reduction of customs duties on Cu- ban sugar shipped to the United States | it was not possible that such differential 1 treatment favoring Cugar sugar in com
 petition with that of Europe could re- suit other than favorably to Cuba's | trade.

 for Taking the Vote Will be Set To-
 day-Senator Morgan Won Over by
 MT. Fr e-Exacts Consent to the Print-
 ing in the Record of His Speeches.
 Washington, March 11.-Decided progress was made to-day toward reaching an agreement for a vote on the Colombian canal treaty and when the senate adjourned there was a gen. eral understanding that tomorrow some hour next Tuesday would be defi- nitely agreed upon as the time when vote should be taken on the treaty and all amendments. All statements to this effect, however, were accompa- nied by the announcement that there yet were some details to be arranged, leaving it impossible absolutely to con- clude the agreement before tomorrow. There is, however, no doubt in the minds of leading senators that the vote will he taken on Tuehday.
 The arrangement was brought about largely by Senator Frye, who by vir- tue of long service with Senator Mor- gan on the committee on foreign rela- tions has come to. be on terms of great intimacy with the Alabama senator. No other senator thus far has shown any disposition to delay the final disposition of the treaty. so that all that was nec- essary was to secure MT. Morgan's as- sent to the taking of the vote. The negotiation was begun early in the day and after Senators Frye and Morgan had been closeted for some time the latter sought Senator German and talk cd over the situation with him with the result indicated.
 Senator Morgan exacted consent to the printing in the Congressional Rec ord of the remarks he has prepared giving his best recollection of the speeches he has made in the executive sessions of the senate on the treaty.
 Democratic senators have practically agreed unanimously to urge an amend ment to the twenty-third article of the treaty, relieving it of all question as to the right of the United States to control the canal and they express confidence in obtaining some republican votes for it.

Best Varieties
of Apples
to Plant.
A Practical and
Successful Orchard
ist gives some
Valuable Inforna-
ton for Beginners.
Ru 2 Walden
By F. Walden.

In the last issue of this paper appeared
letter from F. w. Nessly of Prosser, asking
for information as to the best varieties of
apples to plant Inquiries similar to this
are frequently made. AS this is practical
question and one in which so many are in
terested the substance of the answer sent
to Mr. Nessly is given to the thousands of
readers of The Ranch.
First, let it be noted that Mr.. Nessly in
quires as to apples suitable for commercial
orchard A commercial orchard is planted
for money-making. 1t is we'll known to
all practical orchardists that there are many
very fine apples that cannot be raised with
profit. Many beginners in apple grow
ing make the mistake of supposing that
if an apple is really fine in quality and one
that the people want, that is the apple to
plant largely. The Esopus Spitzenburg, for
instance, is very fine apple and is in great
demand, yet many advanced fruit growers
have discarded it altogether, for the simple
reason that it does not pay, or is tar less
profitable than some kinds not so fine in
quality. Don't go to the commission men
exclusively to find out what to plant. They
may tell you what sells best, but in most
cases they have but little idea as to pro-
ductiveness of certain kinds of apple trees
The commission man and the retail dealer
can tell you what is wanted and that is
one important factor, but they cannot tell
whether certain kinds can be grown profit
ably-that must be learned from the grow
er.
Then, again, an apple may come in at the
wrong time of the year to be grown in
large quantities. The Mcintosh, commonly
called the Mcintosh Red, is a very fine APP
pie, bears well, and the tree is a vigor-
Gus grower. 1t is being pushed very ex-
tenslvely by certain parties. If the growers
are not careful some of them will be greatly
damaged if not absolutely ruined in growing
this apple. 1t is fall apple, comes into
the markets when they are overstocked with
wind falls and culls. At such time large
amount of Mcintosh would swamp the mar
kets. 1t must go and go quickly, for it will
not keep.
1t is conceded by our best growers that
a commercial orchard should not have a
large number of varieties. Three or four
varieties or at most half dozen are consid-
cred ample. What are the most profitable
three or four varieties? There is not abso-

lutte unanimity in answering this question,
and yet there is substantial agreement
among growers In Missouri there is a
state horticultural society that has been IN
existence for forty-fve years. | clip few
things found in the Western Fruit Grower
from the report of it's last annual meeting,
as this question was thoroughly discussed.
The forty-ffth annual meeting of the Missouri
State Horticultural Society," held at Springfield,
December 2 to 4, was one of the best meetings
ever held by this society. Drury College chapel
was the place of meeting and amply accommo-
dated the large number of guests that assembled
for the seven sessions Delegations were present
from Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia. Iowa, Kansas,
Tennessee and Arkansas Fruit growers from all
parts of the state were present in large numbers.
Varieties for the Ozarks led by J. B. Wild, Sar-
coke.
The selection depends largely upon location.
He first mentioned Ben Davis the pioneer of
commercial orcharding in the West. He had seen
it's days numbered for twenty-five years, yet
still the great dividend producer stands the
big red apple of America. 1t has better FORM few
er off years, is hardy productive and finding its
way into all markets of the world He has been
looking for better variety, but at present would
plant Ben Davis as first CHOICE Gano a close sec
ond. newer variety is Paynes Keeper 1t makes
good orchard tree and produces good apples
He spoke of the Collins as of good color and
good bearer; quality not good
Mr.. Gilkeson, of Central Missouri, named Ben
Davis Jonathan and Grimes Golden the best
three varieties.
Mr. Karnes, of ST. Joseph: l find Yorks do best
on high location. Wealthy is the best summer
apple; for winter, the Ben Davis, Jonathan and
Grimes Golden.
Mr. Murray finds it useless to plant Grimes
Golden unless top grated. He named the Jona-
than Ben Davis, Gano, Winesap, Missouri Pippin
and in certain locations York Imperial winter
varieties; and the Early Harvest, Red Astrachan,
Benoni, Duchess and Wealthy for summer. The
Yellow Transparent blights badly.
Mr. Butterield recommended, for North Mis-
souri,, the Gano, York, Missouri Pippin and Ben
Davis, and for South Missouri the Gano, York,
Ben Davis and Winesap, when the location is
right.
Others gave lists about the same as to vari-
cites.

ty-ive varieties. [ have studied them thor
oughly, and | think | know their relative
values commercial apples, and I would
recommend the following varieties for the
Yakima Valley and all similar locations:
Ben Davis, Jonathan, Rome Beauty and
Missouri Pippin. If | were to enlarge the
list, would add Winesap, Grimes Golden,
and Yellow Newton Pippin. In some To-
calities the Winesap tree does not do we'll.
That should be ascertained before planting

Many time when it is necessary for
children to go away from home in order to
get high school work they do not get it.
Mr.. Oliver T. Bright, the well-llnown Chi
cago educator, thinks this is one of the very
greatest benefits of the centralized or con-
solidated school idea.
Besides being better in every way, these
schools cost less per capita.

That is deep and wide saying, that no
miracle can be wrought without faith, with
out the workers faith in himself, as well as
the recipients faith in him. And the great
er part of the workers faith in himself is
made up of the faith that others believe in
him-AmOs Barton.

localities is the apple of the Yellow New,

before planting to any extent The Grimes,
Golden is not a uniform bearer, full one
year and light another 1t is really very
fine apple in quality. 1t sells we'll in the
Chicago markets, but not nearly so we'll in
Seattle. This difference may be owing to
the fact that it is not we'll known in the
latter market The Mammoth Black Iwlg
| have sub judice-on trial-and am not
prepared to put it in the recommended list
yet The apple does not keep WE'LL in this
respect it is a decided disappointment In
quality it is fine, the apple is large, the tree
a vigorous grower, and it bears well.
The Arkansas Black is one of the finest
looking apples [ ever saw. 1t sells we'll
none better for me. The tree is a beauty
and will not split nor break. My trees are
young yet, and in time this magnificent ap-
pie may redeem itself from the only serious
objection to tit bears fairly we'll one year
and then nearly fails the next. Unless it
improves in this respect with age it will
have to 90 to the foot of the class or some
where in that region.
More will be said as to the best apples
to plant in future issues of The Ranch, but
this will do for one sitting.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Propositions
involving compromise of the allied
powers contention for preferential
treatment in the settlement of their
claims against Venezuela have been
submitted to the governments of Great
Britain, Germany and Italy by their
representatives at Washington. and
while no answers have been received as
yet, there is no reason for the belief
that the allies will see way to accept
the latest proposition. This compro-
mise has been suggested by one of the
representatives of the allies here, and
while it has not formally received the
Endorsement of Minister Bowen. it is
felt that he will not enter serious OBJ
jections to its adoption, providing the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be con-
vinced that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to a plan which seems to
offer a solution of the present serious
hitch in the Washington negotiations.
France has it in her power to con-
tinue the present deadlock in the
Washington negotiations. For while

standing against Venezuela certain

unadjusted claims, all of the French
claims are in very forward state.
The details now under consideration
by the three allied nations are not
obtainable, but in a general way 1t is
understood to be modification OF the
allies contention that they be recoB-
nized as Venezuela's preferred claim
ants in the payment of the indemnity.
The plan suggested provides that for
short period. perhaps six months or
year, Great Britain, Germany and Italy
shall receive exclusively thirty por
cent. of the customs receipts Of the
ports of Porto Cabello and La Guayra.
and that at the end of this period, the
exact length of which is yet open 10 de-
cision. all the claimant nations be
placed on the same footing. and at tbs
expiration of that time the thirty per
cent. of the receipts of these two ports
be divided among all the claimant na-
tions in ratio based on the amount OF
each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as compromise
which will enable the allies to with
draw their ships from Venezuelan wa
tiers without serious loss of prestige.
Whether the claimant nations out
side the tripartite agreement will as
sent to this scheme is not yet known.
