could he help the licked by trying 70
deceive those VINO have trusted him.
He can do the most good and render
the best service TO the ticket by
pointing out that in spite Of all he
himself has said-in spite of all any
one else can say-it is better TO sup
port the ticket than to assist in the
election Of President Roosevelt. He
has given reasons that seem TO him
sufficient and satisfactory, and he
hopes 20 be able to give additional
reasons after Judge Parker's letter of
acceptance appears. The good effect
of Mr.. Bryan's statement is already
apparent. Many have announced
their intention to support the ticket
who before were in despair. They
see now that they can support the
ticket and still continue the fight for
economic reform; they see that the
election of Judge Parker will remove
imperialism, militarism and the race
question and clear the way for fight
on economic questions. Neither is
the populist criticism valid. 1t is
more important that reforms shall be
secured than that those reforms shall
come through any particular party.
The total populist vote is small COM
pared with the number of democrats
who desire reform. Mr.. Bryan can
do the cause of reform more good by
helping these democrats to control
the democratic party than he could
by joining the populists. If Judge
Parker carries out the democratic
platform we shall make progress
during his administration; if he re-
fuses to carry out the platform he
will make it easier for the reform
element to regain control of the or
ganization.-Lincoln Commoner.

If the fruitgrowers of south Florl-

way they will make enormous profits

large tracts are being put in grape
fruit. There is still room for expan-
sion. however as this can easily be-

Grapefruit should be budded stock

rewarded with fancy fruit which will

WHO IS RUSS z

This question l. asked by the Jack
sonviIIe Industrial Record and it an
swers II by saying that be Is a man
who has never contributed one dollar
to the prosperity and happiness of
our people; a man who has lived in
nalf the larger towns in the state and
whose name has not found its place
on the tax-rolls of any county in
which he has called '''home.'"
We modestly protest that this pen
picture is not altogether corect-it
Is just a little highly colored and
overdrawn.
Mr.. Russ once owned an orange
grove in Marion county and we do
not believe that it could have escaped
the vigilant eye of our tax assessor;
but suppose it be true that he has
never paid any taxes, does 1t follow
that he has added nothing to the
wealth and happiness of the people
Of Florida?
We have understood that Oliver
Goldsmith, and DR.. Samuel Johnson,
and even John Milton and William
Shakespeare, who, while nOV escaping
the bailiffs. sheriffs, landlords and
tailors, were engaged in embellishing
the English language, and while they
did not make their country rich
through the medium Of the tax-office,
distributed blessings upon the hu
man race that has made the world
their debtor.
sam Russ belongs TO the common
wealth Of letters and in enriching our
literature and enlarging its vOcabu-
larry, Is bestowing a genuine blessing
upon those who are fortunate enough
to read what he writes.
II Sam Russ Is the author OF the
item about our ''turpentine industry"

WHY SPRAYING PAYS.
Use of insecticides and Fungicidea
Made Absolutely Necessary
by Modern Conditions.

The canker worm, the tent caterpillar,
leaf rollers and other native leaf eating
insects find instead of an occasional wild
cherry tree, wild crabapple or wild plum
whole acres of improved varieties OF
these, acres upon acres of raspberry,
blackberry, strawberry and grape. Grass
feeding insects find hundreds and thou
sands of acres of grassy plants more
tender and juicy than the natural
grasses. Is it any wonder that native in
sects, before confined to less number
Of less fruitful trees, with an occasional
year that permitted almost no fruit at
all to grow, thus almost exterminating
them, should under such favorable con-
ditions as are offered by our present
system OF fruit, vegetable and grain cul-
ture, thrive and increase in numbers,
far beyond what they would under less
artificial and less favorable surround
ings? We first create an environment
unnatural and vastly more favorable
than the original for the development
or insect enemies of our crops, and bring
about the very conditions that in a state
OF nature these insects prevent, and then
wonder why it is that they do the most
natural things in the world for them to
do-fed and breed. Thus the spraying
OF plants with insecticides and fungi
cides becomes imperative, to counteract
SO far as possible the adverse effects of
the present conditions.-Agricult

PIECE ROOT GRATING.
Apple Trees In the Northwest
eFn States.

A few years ago there was much noise
made by some nurserymen regarding
the superiority of budded and whole.
root grated trees over those propagat.
ed by the piece-root graft. 1t is now
generally conceded that the piece-root
graft gives the better results, as rule,
Wesley Greene. of the Iowa Horticul.
tural society, says:
"The whole-root grated and budded
trees may be considered of about equal
hardness in this state. The root sys.
tenn Of the budded and whole-root graft
ed tree is entirely that Of the stock or
which the variety is worked. There
may be few instances where roots are
formed above the point Of union wher
trees are transplanted deep while
young, but such would be an exception
and not the general experience of thu
growers planting them. II the stocB
used was as hardy as the variety
worked on it there would be no objec-
tfon to such trees when the other re-
quirements of the roots we're equal tt
the demands of the variety worked or
it. Unfortunately, however, many Of
the Seeding stocks are not hardy and
that Is the reason why budded or whole
root grated trees are not so desirable tc
plant in this state as trees grown on
their own roots or roots of equal hardi-
ness.
The superiority claimed for trees
grown from the piece-root gratis is
that the scion, when planted deep
forms roots and in time the tree is on
its own roots. The piece of root sim.
ply serves to keep the scion alive until
it can form roots of its own. All scione
do not form roots readily and the length
of scion and root used varies as we'll as
the depth at which they are planted, sc
there is considerable variability as to
the extent to which piece-root grated
trees are on their own roots However
the consensus of opinion is that, the
piece-root system of propagation is the
best to use for apple trees to plant In
the northwest"
