Care In Experiments.

In the making of farm experiments
great care needs TO be exercised to have
all possibility OF error eradicated.
Many of the so-called experiments car
ried on on farms are really not expert
ments at all. They are so carelessly
conducted that no scientist would ac.
cept their conclusions. Such an ex-
pertinent Is that In which the farmer.
to test his land or manure, puts the
fertilizer on a field but has no check

comparison with what the field did
when the fertilizer was not used. Il
should be evident to him that any
Increase of harvest may be due to
something else than the fertilizer.
Such experiments mean little or moth

Many of the rotten plums continue
to hang on the tree till winter and
are known as mummied plums. They
nave shrunken and dried till they are
hard and unsightly, but to them cling
enough spores to spread the disease

II any rot appears on plums, the fruit
so affected should be picked OF and
burned at once.
In addition, the trees should be
sprayed with diluted Bordeaux mix
ture. Spray first before the blossoms
open and again as soon as the fruit
is well formed. Spray twice later, at
intervals OF two weeks. Where the

several years, more than one season

It is generally believed that the county does not derive much revenue from that provision of law which per mits person who Is subject to road duty to pay cash in lieu ofwork. It has been stated quite frequently that people report for work and soldier out their time. but this is not true to any considerable extent.
 From the following table it will be seen that the county has received $l.355.6O from this source. The names given below ore those of the various overseers. and the amount opposite their names is the sum of mcney each has turned in as collect ed in lieu of road work:

Passing of Senator Burton.

Many man who has severely con-
demned Senator Burton's course now
feels genuinely sorry for the misguid-
with absolute justice to express SYM
pathy for the condemned person who
brings disgrace and punishment upon
his own head. Senator Burton stands
today convicted of a crime, and the
judgment of the lower court has been
upheld in the highest tribunal In the
land. He has employed every artifice
and has grasped at every legal straw
that offered even remote possibility
of immunity. He must now enter the
Iron county Jail to serve a six months
sentence and must pay fine of 81, 500,
representing his salary of $500 a
| month for five months received from
the Rialto Grain and Securities Com
pany, of St. Louis. With the process
of law practically completed and with
no probability that the supreme court
will reverse itself, Burton has reached
the end of his rope.
Senator Burton was convicted in
the United States circuit court for
the Eastern district of Missouri. At
the time of his first appeal to the SUI
preme court it was evident that he
was only fighting for time and that
his guilt had been plainly established
He had acted as attorney for the
Rialto Grain and Securities Company
to try tc induce the postoffice depart
ment to recind an order prohibiting
the use of the mails by the company.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1906-06-02

when the verdict was rendered many
of Burton's trends urged him to re-
sign from the senate and serve his
sentence. They reasoned truthfully
that he could have had it all over
with soon, with the minimum of pub
licity, and his retirement would have
saved him a great deal of money and
also have seemed to be a voluntary
acceptance of his fate. His battling
hopelessly to the last ditch stands
against him, for he is less likely TO en-
list the interference of the president
now than if he had yielded months
ago.
Senator Burton entered upon his
Office under the handicap of the
fatal succession" and it appears to
be foreordained that those who fol-
low in the path of slim" Lane must
come to grief sooner or later. Not one
man of all those who have taken the
senatorial seat in this succession, not
even Preston B. Plumb, has escaped
misfortune. But this does not ap-
pear to decrease the number of candI-
dates for the place to be left vacant
by Burton. Half a dozen or more
Kansans are anxious to take chances
with the historic ''hoodoo," but it is
not at all likely that any of the avow-
ed candidates will disregard the
mournful lesson of the unfortunate
Burton.-Kansas City Journal.
