THE APPLE CROP.
Elk pertinent station Expects Farmers
to Get Good Prices This Year.

Many conflicting reports as to the 1906
apple crop have appeared in various hort
cultural and farm journals throughout
the country This has led to uncertainty
on the part OF growers as to the facts.
Most of the early reports indicated a
rather heavy crop in the principal apple
growing sections Of the United States and
Canada; later an unusually heavy June
drop was reported from many sections;
while still later information indicated
somewhat severe losses In the Mississippi
valley region from the bitter rot fungus.
The actual extent OF these losses through
out the country cannot be definitely

OF THE COURTS.
(From the Rutland News.)

The Burlington Free Press discusses in
an interesting and able manner the recon-
mendations Of the Vermont Bar assoca-
ton to the establishment in this State
of court Of appeals. The simpiification
and greater efficiency OF court practices
and the speeder securement Of justice are
questions of primal Importance in this
State. as they are in other common
wealths. But II will take considerable
argument TO convince one. after reading
the views of the Free Preas. as printed
elsewhere in The News to-day, OF the adj
vantage of the plan proposed by the State
Bar association.

right to get home, and the restrictions
should be subject to the approval of the
State highway commissioner.
The last Legislature passed an act to
regulate the running OF automobiles, which
is excellent on the whole; but come
points need to be more clearly defined.
and It is particularly desirable that full
power to enforce the restrictions should
be given to the local authorities. For ex-
ample, the law states that motor vehicles
shall not be run at a rate exceeding 10
miles an hour at any point. and within
the limits of city or village at rate
exceeding ten miles per hour. Also the
law provides that In approaching inter
sectinB roads and in going around curves
II must be run lat a rate of speed less
than that hcreinbefore specified, and at
no time greater than Is reasonable and
proper, having regard to traffic and the
use OF the way and the safety of the
public, and In no event exceeding six
miles an hour" Tho person operating an
automobile in unfamiliar territory does not
know the village limits, nor can he Judge
what rate of speed Is reasonable and
proper at n given point The law should
give the selectmen power to erect sign
boards designating certain places where
speed must be reduced to given limit, al
Is done in Massac husetts
Furthermore, the law should require
automobiles to reduce their speed after
dark.
In addition to these points, It would
promote xhe safety of the public If
"whistlng posts" should be erected at
dangerous points. such as approaches to
curves and narrow passes, where the OPP
orator of an automobile should be required
to give a warning. 1t is fair to suppose
that the operator would gladly give the
warning. If he realized that the place is
dangerous.
Inasmuch as 1t costs money to put the
highways in proper condition for the run
ming of these machines, we suggest thai
a special tax be laid upon an automobile
In the town where the owner resides, that
this tax be added to the State highway
tax collected in the town, and that the
automobile be exempt from other taxes.

Cndoubt eddy a strong effort will be made
In the coming Legislature to change the
judiciary system. A committee appoint
ed for the purpose by the Vermont State
Bar association has prepared its report N
the form of bill to be introduced in the
Legislature. The bill provides for a SUI
preme court OF Ave judges to sit as a court
of appeals and n circuit court of five
Judges to hold county court in connection
with the assistant judges now elected by
each county. It leaves in blanks TO be
filed the salaries of the judges, but pro-
vides that they shall not demand re-
ceivc any fees. The administration of jus
tice Is the heaviest item of expense in
the State government and is constantly in
creasing. The proposed change will add
materially to the present outlay and on
this ground it is likely to meet with OPP
position. Undoubtedlythe proposed scheme
is along moro modern methods and pos
sibly may be worth the added cost. The
matter ought and undoubtedly will have
careful consideration. II. in this proposed
reorganization. certain changes could be
made that would promise more economy
in some other items In this department,
there would be a more favorable feeling
for the measure outside of legal circles.

Sheep are sometimes infested ~

so-callcd Texan mango or itch is caused
by Il variety of lc.uSe known as demo-
deX, which infcsts the dog and all the
canine race, wolves, toxes and all the
related animals which range over the
west and south. and which cause 4
Watery eruption on the skin, which!
forms ScAbs. This special parasite does
not affect cattle. Another one infests
sheep, cattle and horses, forming scabs
on the skin, but they do not burrow

as to reach the parasites and clean the
