equipment, but it is hoped that enough
work can be conducted in various parts
Of the state to serve as an Illustration
to all interested of the latest fumlga-
ton methods in use in California, also
from an experimental standpoint to de-
termine the dosage, influence of climat-
ic conditions, cost and effectiveness OF
this line OF treatment. If there are
citrus fruit growers in the state who
are sufficiently interested in the sub
ject of fumigation to provide enough
additional tents to make it practical to
undertake the fumigation OF entire
groves, arrangements might be made
by which the agent Of the Bureau OF
Entomology would assume domestic
charge of the work for the purpose o.
obtaining accurate data concerning the
results. If time does not allow Of the
acceptance of all offers for cooperation
of this kind, preference will be given
to groves most favorably located for
the best results; that is, isolated from
other infested citrus groves and not
subject to invasion by the adult flies
from Chinaberry trees
For the work mentioned, it is Ndesir-
ed to obtain trees for .fumigation which
range from IL to 25 feet in height. For
each five hundred trees at least three
tents should be provided in additional
to those belonging to the equipment Of
the Bureau of Entomology.
A leading California tent maker hs
recently quoted the following schedule
of prices for fumigating tents:

tings, and all the rudiments OF growing
forests for profit and for ornament
l we'll remember an expression OF
Mr. Gibbs, "This may be despotic
government, but it is far ahead OF
America or England in one of the es-
sentia1s of tree planting"
Thousands OF intelligent young men
are being taught to plant and grow
trees. This same enthusiasm we found
across Russia and up the Volga river
as far as we went, to the flfty-fourth
degree Of north latitude One peculiar
feature we found on the Volga, the
pear and cherry orchards. We found
entire districts growing cherries, then
a square cut off and then came pears,
no mixture, all one kind of fruit or
the other, never mixed. I found the
railroads were planting belts Of timber
for snow fences, while here in America
the roads were building board fences
to stop the snow
After visiting many parts of Russia,
and receiving nothing but the most
cordial treatment from government
officials and from citizens and the larg
est land owners, being questioned by
many as to what our countries were
doing in tree planting, we were OBJ
liged to acknowledge that Russia was
far in advance of Our countries, we
left, passing through Moscow, to the
German empire to make a short in
vestigatlon Of what was being done in
that country.
While we found much to interest the
tree planter, we also found that up to
that time the Russian government was
far ahead of anything that we had seen
in any other country. Since then, Ger
many has been very busy planting
forests, and if it keeps on, in the way
in which it has been going for the past
twenty years, it will soon outstrip
any other country.
Those old countries are doing a
work from which America must learn
lesson or be the loser. This country
must plant trees and save the moisture
or do as Spain has done, give up some
of it's most fertile soil to become a bar
rem waste

structed in this state as cheaply as in
California With reasonable. .ecare in
handling, fumigating tents should be
serviceable for several years. In some
citrus fruit growing countries where
iumigation is practiced against scale in
sects, several growers form club and
share the cost of the fumigating out
fit which is kept at the disposal OF each
Of the members in turn. 1t is possible
that if tent fumigation should come in
10 general use such plan might be
followed in many cases in this state.
The cost of single fumigation of a
grove, including the wear and tear on
equipment but not the original outlay,
is generally considered to be about
equal to the cost of three or four spray
ings
The question of the desirability OF
adopting fumigation as a remedy for
white fly in Florida is an important
one. @r
1t is admitted that in general, the
size and form of the Florida trees and
certain other conditions are not as
favorable to this practice as in Cali
fornia. On the other hand there are
thousands OF white fly infested groves
in this state where the conditions seem
fully as favorable as in California, and
in addition, for the destruction OF
white larvae and pupae it is necessary
for a given size of tree to use only
about one-half OF the amount OF cheml-
Gals used in the latter state against
scale insects.
Prof. H. A. Gossard, former ento-
mologist to the Florida Experiment
Station, conducted some experimental
work with tents in 1901 and in his
bulletin on the white fly published in
1903, he writes as follows:
"Fumigation with hydrocyanlc acid
gas is recognized in nearly every pro-
gressive citrus producing country in the
world as one of the most effective
methods for destroying orange pests.
A, process that has been found SO
valuable in every part OF the world is
certain to eventually come into favor
in Florida. The conditions that exist
in our state set some limitations upon
it's range Of usefulness and I think it
should not be doomed into disfavor,
but a gradually increasing number OF
groves can adopt it each year with
profit The Florida growers have had
little experience in fumigating trees and
think the method intricate and mys-
terious. Familiarity with such work
removes such misconceptions and it
is discovered that fumigation outfit is
not more mysterious or difficult OF
mastery to an orange grower than is
spray pump with it's accompaniment
to grower. 1t is well-hlgh necessary

Forestry.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:


Back in the early eighties, was en-
gagged in growing and planting forest
trees in the Northwest, and during that
time I received several volumes OF
books from Russia, which had been
translated into English. These books
gave very clear account Of work that
had been done by the Russian govern
ment, and by individual planters, in
forest tree planting.
The magnitude of the work was a
surprise to me, and the more read
the more I became interested in what
was being done.
The same summer attended meet
ing Of the American Forest-tree Con-
veftion, held at the city Of Minneapolis,
Mimi There 7 presented the SUBJECT
to several members OF the society,
among them the Hon. Charles Gibbs,
of Abbottsford, Quebec, one OF the
most enthusiastic members, on the sub
ject OF planting forests, then in Ameri-
Ca
Before the meeting adjourned, Mr..
Gibbs and had agreed that we would
make trip to Russia and Germany
and see for ourselves what was being
done. In very few weeks thereafter,
armed with letters from our Govern
ment authorities at Washington and in
Canada, and also letters from the Rus
sian Ambassador, we started on Our
long trip to Russia
On our arrival in London, each Of
lis called on Our minister and with him
on the Russian minister, and from him
received letters to the minister Of the
Interior, of Russia, at St. Petersburg.
When we arrived at St. Petersburg
called on Our American minister, and
with him on the minister Of the In
terror. We found this high functionary
very enthusiastic and ready to give us
all necessary documents to facilitate
our Investigations. By the way, with
out those documents we would have
found it uphill work getting through
the country and into places which gave
us valuable information.
We soon found that the half had
not been told about the magnitude OF
the work that was being carried for
ward by that great tyranical govern
ment. In brief, let me state that we
round twelve hundred forest tree
schools devoted to teaching students
how to gxow and care for forests. We
found yoseag men from the most veal
thy families in these seANols, being
taught how to gather seeds, how to care
for them, how to prepare the land and

Whose Business?

81 is none Of your d ID business is the reply
attributed to Senator Daniel, when asked by
reporter what was said at his conference with the
president.
Barring his profanity, it is, possible the senator
was correct He knows best what was said at the
said conference Il it was something Of a private
nature, something about the prospects for shoot
ing N Virginia or something about good roads about
Mrs Roosevelts place in the state Of which Senator
Daniel IS sovereign oyerseer, it could not pos
slby interest the reporter but if it was something
about the railroad rate bill it might affect the re-
porter,s business as a representative Of the pub
lie tremendously. We trust the senator did not
fail to differentiate between what is a reporters
business and what might be his natural hui
man curiosity about a conversation between two
such eminent persons. Such a cooquy could never
fail to be interesting it could seldom fail to be en-
tightening; it might even be Of vital Importance.
1t would seem as if the senator from Virginia
was in some danger Of infringing on the Vanderbilt
copyright.

Getting Results.

=.
nUR Boston letter tells Of Farmers special
train which carries experts in agriculture
thru Massachusetts,, nstructing the farmers in the
most modern methods, and says that the meetings
held are very popular. It seems that this is a new
thing IN Massachusetts,. We have been holding farm
ers Institutes in Minnesota for eighteen nineteen
years. 1t was New England man who inaugurated
the movement here. Governor Pillsbury supported
Superintendent Gregg and his assistants in that
work for year or more before the state was asked
to appropriate any money but out of that grew the
idea of practical school of agriculture in connec-
ton with the university which has now become with
its special and regular courses the most successful
institution Of the kind in the country Minnesota is
doing more, and doing it BETTER to improve methods
in agriculture than any state in the union and the
results are beginning to be apparent in such ways
the repeated triumph of the Minnesota buttermakers
over all competitors in the national contests.

The Illinois Primary.

HE Illinois primary law appears to have been
wrecked by the injection Of too much clever
politics into its composition The act provided that
party to be recognized under the act must poll 10
per cent of the vote, but exception was made in
Cook county (Chicago) where the percentage was
made 20, and the socialists attacked the law on
account of the discrimination which would have shut
them out ts,4 49, - IL @e:fz. q. .~n.,... a..
Other features of the law were attacked which
were not essential to the main purpose of primary
law, which is to permit tie voters under the protec
ton Of the state to conduct contests for nominations
in the group of voters with Which they affiliate
Some of restrictive provisions were against the
spirit Of Individual liberty in politics Such pro-
vision was the one which deprived the voter Of his
right to vote at primary if he had changed his
party fealty within two years Many of the ten
denotes of the law were toward the corrang Of
the voters within the wide domains of the two old
parties and keeping them there. %,
The framing of primary law which will keep
the voters of one from joining another group, for
the sole purpose Of nficting weak candidates upon
it, is delicate and the Illinois law appears to
have erred the side of too great interference with
the liberty Of the citizen The supreme courts
appear to have correctly applied the principle that
the rights of the citizens paramount to protec-
ton Of the machinery of parties If there must be
suffering it should be the machinery and not the
live citizen which shall suffer- -., r.

Those Genteel British Games.

HEY play milder kind Of football over in
England than we do The Britisher is
shocked at our mass plays hurdles, flying tackles,
and other evidences Of crude western barbarity and
English sports have been held up as model for
American institutions by some Of the reformers.
They are SO clean, so wholesome, and SO free from
brutality.
On 9 little closer inspection, tho, one finds there
are some things in English university sports that
need reforming, according to the American point of
view The following extract from the Oxford Var
sty OF March ID, in it's account Of an inter-univer
sty competition with Cambridge, shows that the
American reformer is sadly needed over there:
j Z. Walker, Trinity, and T. D. Richardson
Trinity Hall, Cambridge, then entered the ring and
short and sensational round took place. Walker
was quite In another class to his opponent and landed
some lefts in the first few seconds, being literally
almost untouched himself Before minute had
passed he got terrific right on the jaw which sent
Richardson down like log and there question
about the winner. It may be taken axiom
that knockout blow which makes the recipient fall
forward is generally settler and this was demon
strated in the Of the featherweights last week.
One could almost have wished that the round had
gone on for longer it real pleasure to
Walkers form and style .-g.
This would seem to be case for Governor John
son.. The Oxford boys, however, were just getting
warmed up. Slaves cleared the arena and two more
gadiators entered. They were full of ginger also,
as the Varsity account shows:
Quite as exciting, and even so, was the
lightweight contest when g. G. Wilson, Queens
knocked out Sir Philip Brocklehurst Trinity Hall,
Cambridge in the first round. y In about fifteen
seconds had been counted In less time than it takes
hard rghthand blow but up again before ten
seconds has been counted In less time than it takes
to write it he was down again. but got up with the
greatest pluck and continued to fight Down he went
again, and up again he came. 1t worth lot to
see such determination. Excitement to fever heat
when Wilson sent down with a smashing blow
from the Cambridge which put him. quite out
for few seconds; he was up again, however, before
nine seconds had been counted and then sent Brocke
hurst down for the fourth and last time with ter
rife smash Wilson has come on very rapidly and
will be quite frstcass by next year if he goes at
the rate.
Wouldn' It that shock our Johnnie Flynn or Will
liam Ittner7 It's quite decent decorous sort Of
employment, however, in the eyes of the British
undergraduate. When the excitement ''ran to fever
heat" the colegeians probably emitted that ''low,
growing sound" that George AIDE says they call
cheering and when the Oxford middleweght had
properly polished the colored gentleman from Cam
BRIDGE they doubtless all went and had tea.

4 Women as Voters.
~ RS. HENROTIN of Chicago. O

NJ RS. HENROTIN of Chicago, outlining the
= reasons why women should vote at munich
pal elections, called attention to the paternal char
acter city governments are assuming and asked
whether women not much interested as men
III the health problem, the pure water question: the
Juvenile courts, the cleaning of streets, tenement
inspection, ETC.
It should be admitted instanter that women are
more interested in these questions than men, but
why confne the argument for women 8 suffrage to
THESE questions9 Are not women as vitality inter
ested In the tariff men? Do they not buy the
trust-made articles at the stores and are they not
more acutely Of the shelter afforded them by
the tariff than the men are? Are not women as
much interested in the transportation question as
men? Have they not equal interest in the pure
food bill, the free alcohol bill, the heater b9
It is not question of interest. It is a question
OF how the common interest shall be cared for; a
question whether doubling the number Of voters and
making women active instead of advisory politicians
will turn the trick.
