If You Do Not Know,
You Ought to Know That

The railroad earnings for this last
April were $2.S00.000 less than for
April, 1908. This decrease Is less sig
nifieant. however when we realize that
the spring is q late one compared with
last year and that there is ample op-
portunity. before midsummer to re-
deem those losses--though 1t must be
confessed that the contingency is a
trifle remote.
Just to illustrate that the farmer is
not without ills the Texans last year
lost 100000 through the ravages of
the cotton root rot, anthracnose, wilt,
root-knot and rust were also severe in
Texas, the south of Georgia and South
Carolina; the potato blight Melted a
loss of Sl0,O00.000 to the New Workers,
Pennsylvanians. Michiganees, and Wis
consinttes and in New York State the
cherry shot-hole fungus played havoc
with that fruit while walnut bacterio-
sis caused frightful damage in Cali
formal Connecticut and Rhode Island
lost 40 per cent of their grapes with the
black rot; corn smut caused heavy
losses in Maryland, in New York and
South Carolina, this one disease has
cost the farmers millions of dollars;
asparagus rust is increasing in the
West while water melon wilt is spread
ing in the South; Connecticut is suffer-
ing from tomato bacterial wilt and the
fusarium wilt In Florida made loss of
about $500, 900; New England, New York
and Pennsylvania have troubles of their
own with the apple scab and the
peaches of the Eastern States were eat
en- up with brown rot: the insects in
the South alone, cigarette and flower
beetles and such causing damage of
100000.

Fees Of 100000 and 100000 for the
