PLANTING A FRUIT TREE.
The Method Has Much to Do with Its Subsequent Development
 and Growth.

Multitudes of fruit trees are annu- ally lost by being incorrectly planted. The careless man loses more trees than any other man simply because he tries to save trouble in the work Of planting. He saves work in preparing the ground for the tree The worst method is quite commonly followed, which is to merely dig a big hole in soil that has been for a long time un- disturbed. The soil in the hole is loose, and soil around the sides and on the bottom is hard packed. Often this hard packing is made worse by the men getting into the hole and tramping it while shoveling out the dirt. This virtually "puddles" the bot tom if the soil be moist. and this ren- ders it almost impervious to water. Stock ponds are made water tight in that way
 When the tree is set in the hole and the dirt filled in, the conditions are ripe for the killing of the tree at the first heavy rain. The hole becomes a sort of sink in which the water re- mains. Air cannot get to the roots of the tree and hence no food can be ta- ken into the system of the tree. When the warm days come, the tree sends out it's leaves, which are deyel- oped from the latent plant food stored up in the tree from the previous year. But no new food gets in, as the roots are immersed in water. After a little time the leaves on the tree begin to wither. and the owner wonders what is affecting the tree. In another month the tree is dead
 The right way to plant a tree. says Farmers Review, is to prepare all the ground by stirring it up thoroughly and providing some way to let off the water. Frequently the slope of the ground will do this, if the trees are not placed in mere holes. With the ground well stirred up the water that falls will not collect around the trunks of the newly set trees. and the soil will not be for any long time saturated with water.
 Trees should not be set too deep Some seem to think that the deeper a tree is set the better. but most trees send out their roots near the surface of the ground It is allowable to set a tree one or two inches deeper than it was in the nursery row, as the ground is sure to settle some around it. If tree is properly set and if it is in good condition at time of setting there is no reason why it should not live.

Method of Handling the Varieties Which Require Protection

The method used by me in training German grape vines, writes a corre- spondent of the Rural New Yorker, is especially important and valuable with German and other vines which need winter protection. After planting vine we do not let more than three shoots grow from it, tearing off all others from time to time; the next year (unless, what is unlikely, among the three shoots there should be one

That one is saved, the other cut off before laying on or into the ground, and covering with earth, for that is what we have to do with Vitis yinifera every fall, after the leaves are off; pruning must, there fore, be done in fall, as at the time when the vines are taken out of the ground it is too late for further prun- ing.
 When we find in the fall a shoot of the required thickness we count five buds, beginning at point about 12 or 15 inches from the ground, and cut the vne off above the fifth bud (but never cut too close to a bud); these five buds are to give us next year five shoots tho shoots allowed from the ground up to a point as above), of which the lower four are trained al- ternately to the left and right and the

CABBAGE FLEA BEETLE.
Insect Which Is Destructive Not Only of Cabbage, But Tur-

The cabbage flea-beetle is found in many states. It is particularly de-
 structive to cabbages, turnips, and radishes when it is in the larval state; it works mainly upon the roots. The beetles do considerable damage in riddling the leaves by filling them full

of holes. The adult beetle, which with the larva is illustrated in the accom- panying cut is about one-tenth of an inch long, black with two yellowish stripes on the back which are some times broken into four yellow spots. The adult hibernates in sheltered places in the field.
 Bordeaux and arsenical sprays are applied for exterminating the pest. Where fields have been largely at tackled during the year. it is wise to destroy the leaves and rubbish in the fall. By following this practice a large number of the adults will be de- stroyed and future crops eurtailed

These two buds of the side shoots are to give us the bearing wood next year; the shoot coming from the bud near est the main (upright) stem we retain by all means, whether it has grapes or not, as that shoot gives us in the fall at its end nearest the upright" the new two buds for the following year. The shoot growing from the second bud we only allow to grow if it bears any grapes, as otherwise we have no use for it, the principle of this style of training being to keep everything as compact as possible, both for the pur- pose of training as many together as possible, as we'll as for having less trouble in burying in the fall. Any side shoots bearing grapes we pinch off, leaving but two leaves beyond the last grape.
 The side shoots are trained rather horizontally; the smaller shoots com IuS lIOlH tHe dAilS Ol lue leaves or these side shoots have two leaves pinched off as soon as they have grown three leaves in all, in order to make these weaker shoots aid in developing the buds for next year, whereas to allow them to grow as they please would be at the expense of the buds.

PEOPLE WOULD
NAME SENATE.
Conference TO Urge Election of
Senators by Popular Vote TO
be Held in September.

New Jersey will be entitled to five
delegates at the conference called by
Governor Cummins, of Iowa, at Des
Moines September 5 mex These
delegates will be appointed by Gov
ernor Stokes, and they will repre-
sem New Jerseys attitude on the
question of the popular election of
United States senators.
The Des Moines conference is a
political event of great importance.
1t may result in completely overrid-
ing the senate of the United States,
and in establishing a new method of
choosing senator's IN spite of that
body. The constitution, article 5,
provides that on the application of
the legislature of two-thirds of the
several states, congress shall call a
convention for proposing amend
ments to that document, and these
shall become valid when they shall
be ratified "by the legislatures of
three-fourths of the several states. or
by conventions in three-fourths there
of, as the n or the other mode of
ratification may be proposed by con-
gress."
Thirty-two state legislatures have
at different times signified to con-
gress their desire that steps be taken
to amend the constitution and pro-
vide for the popular election of sem
ators. But this is not strong enough;
the legislatures must apply to and
practically demand of congress that
a constitutional convention be called,
and then congress will have no OPP
ton except to grant it. Nineteen
II cfnfnc haun fandn fhfC Formal do
mand; only twelve more are needed
without Oklahoma and thirteen with
it. In five different congresses the
lower house has voted for popular
election, but the senate killed each
successive proposition.
Every state in the Unino is invited
to send delegates to Des Moines. The
conference is to be informal, and it
will have not authority except to dis
cuss, suggest and advise with refer
ence to the proposed amendment, but
1t will have a great moral influence
If two-thirds of the states represented
there are found to be in favor of the
amendment.
Nearly a dozen states may now be
said to elect their senator's by popu-
lar vote. The people ballot-as they
did a few weeks ago in Oregon-and
the legislatures vote for the popular
choice. But this method does not
seem to fully comply with the popu-
lar demand, since each legislature
may or may not vote as the people
direct. Nothing short of a constitu-
tional amendment will fix the matter
to the entire satisfaction of a large
number of citizens, and the confer
ence in Iowa next September is look
ed forward to with profound interest.
1t may give such a new and positive
impetus to the popular election senti-
ment that legislatures favorable to
the change may be elected in enough
states to make the amendment i'm
perative.
