o. good growth In plat 3, without fer
tilizer, as In plat !, vi ere it had an
abundance. Baldwin, on the ether
hand, proved to be very sensitive to
food supply. 1t made much less
growth in plat three than / 4 the fer
tilted sections. This of course 10
quite contrary to the usual opinion
which rates Baldwin as the lazy mans
apple par excellence.
We may now compare the products
of these various plats. The totals are
as follow, and cover the time of first
bearing in 1893 mp to and including
the crop of 1906:
Plat lilo, 2S7 pounds.
Plat p 5,463
Plat s. 2,02l
Plat A. I'LL
Plat g. 9,607 Z"
1t will be seen that the section fer
tilted with barnyard manure has Civ
en- slightly the largest total crop. 1t
must not be forgotten, however, that
this is secured at a very greatly in
creesed expense. The next largest
crops we're developed in plats A and 5,
but the striking thing is that plat 5
greatly exceeds plat A, although the
quantities Of fertilizers, chemically
computed, are almost identical. The
difference appears to be due to the
different form In which potash is ap-
piled. The evid nee Is certainly
strong that on this soil sulphate Of
magnesia potash is superior to the
muriate. The plat fertilized with
wood ashes gave the lowest yield OF
'he ftrtilized plats, although at rela-
lively high expense. The very low
yield from the unfertilized plat is
rather striking especially when one
remembers that this plat received con
siderably better than the ordinary care
given on the common farm. The trees
we're always carefully pruned, sprayed,
and otherwise well cared for.
In the matter of quality, there we're
also some striking differences among
the varios plats. The fruit showed itf
best color nearly always on plat 2,
fertllized with wood ashes, while plat
showed second best color. Those
on the unfertilized plat we're firm, Hoi
good color and good flavor, but they
we're altogether too small and very
large proportion of them we're unfit
for sale. The fruit on plat /, fertil.
lied with barnyard manure, was the
poorest of all, except In the point Of
size. 1t was soft, rather poor flav.
ored, kept poorly, and was not vel
colored. Careful chemical tests failed
to reveal any difference in the chen |
cal nature of the different plats. By

rlr. tiindIey the Working rlan's
Friend.

Some weeks ago the CALIFORNIAN spoke
in its editorial columns about the attack
of the Union Signal upon Proctor, hold
ing him up as an enemy OF the day
laborer, or more specifically the labor
unions. The CALIFORNIAN asked then
that the Union Signal name lis candi-
date for it had incubated its platform;
we also said it didn't seem possible that
there could be an underground pipe line
between the Clement Bureau, and the
Union Signal. The CALIFORNIAN later
had something to say OF the division OF
the store profits Of the Vermont Marble
Co., and the very happy conditions *
listing at Proctor. The Union Signal
then came up, published our editorial and
furnished an excellent table Of wages,
demonstrating that the Vermont M arble
Co., were paying their workmcn lower
prices than other concerns in like bust
ness. To this the CALIFORNIAN says
Thank you" II men stay year after
year with the Proctors, and strikes don't
effect them, and the Vermont Marble
Company has full quota Of workmen
all the time, and laborers are continually
coming to them from the places men-
toned by the Signal where the wages
are better than at Proctor, we say, that
settles it. Select your best heavy artil.

most destructive ammunition within

But the tale ends not here The Rut.
land Herald, Mr.. Clements paper, pro.
duces the Union Signals editorial OF

position to take and does not necessarily
mean that Mr.. Clement is trying to hitch
his private car onto the rear of a freight
train. But Mr.. Hindley, the great
preacher OF profound sermons, breaches a
sermon from our text, "a Workman Is
Known by His Chips" He swaps ser.
mons with the Union Signal and pub
fishes that table OF wages which he nc
doubt thinks lessons the Proctor estab
lishment by comparison. This don't
necessarily mean that Mr. Clement:

with that of the Union Signals; it is
however, political Irritation similar tc

rlr. Clement not the Only Pebble on
the Beach.

1t is refreshing to note that the press is
speaking out in meeting regarding the
produce put out from the Clement
Bureau. That so bright a man as Mr..
HindIey should stumble into the error { f
holding Mr.. Clement up as reformer
immaculate, is mystery. Here is what
the St. Adams Messenger says on the
subject:
"Mr. Clements literary bureau is be.
ginning to read spirited replies to its
political advertising, and replies that are
to the point, too. The simple fact is
that the Rutland candidate is not the
originator OF any reforms in civil govern
ment and the principles he advocates
have been proclaimed again and again
by other Vermont men and by at least
one or two Vermont newspapers. These
clements are doubtless as we'll prepared
to shed light upon the subjects as the
Clement bureau, all in good time"

in honesty, zeal and efficiency. Back OF
the many spectacular performances Ct
the Roosevelt administration which most
engage popular attention, there has been
no small achievement in the way OF those
con monplace reforms that yield no glory
to any one, but are none the less essential

been the directing force in these homlier
underta kings, it is to be said for him that
he has shown a spirit which has encour-
aged effort on the part of others. HIS

ny surface OF an op imistic neglect, graft
