A Towns Trade Territory.

The trade territory of town is not
all dependent upon the distance to
neighborng trading points. The trade
territory depends upon the enterprise
of the merchants and the residents Of
the town. If town does not reach
after the trade it will come only as
fast as it has to and it will grow as it is
forced to. But if the merchants go
after business in the surrounding coun-
try, advertising in every possible way,
and making good every word of their
advertising, trade will come from an
ever increasing radius, the town will
gain reputation for being awake and
it will forge to the front. 1t is the men
in the town and not altogether the men
living within a certain number of miles
from it that makes the town.

were doing right in doing what you are
kicking about. 1t is largely matter

4 RIGHT TO GOOD ROADS.
No Industrial Glass IN Country More
Entitled to Help Than Farm
ing Communities.

II this is a government of, by and
for the people, it is time to cast about
and see whether its functions are be-
ing faithfully exercised. There are
ninety million people in the United
States, and more than one-third Of
these are engaged in agricultural
pursuits. Upon this latter class all
the others depend for the necessaries
of life, and according as conditions
are good or bad about the agricul-
tural classes, all the others are af-
fected. Prosperity in the farming
world means prosperity in the indus
trial and the mercantile world. When
the farmers suffer, the disaster
reaches in some measure to every
man, woman and child in the country.
There is no way to honestly put
out of sight the interdependence of
our people, and yet the one class that
could live absolutely without the ex-
istence of any of the other classes is
the farming community. In view
of these self-evident truths 1t does
seem that the industrial and mercan-
tile classes, with the professional
people, would be mindful of every.
thing tending to make rural life
profitable and pleasant. The pres.
ent highway conditions form the
most serious drawback that confronts
the country to-day. In no other civ.
ilized country do like conditions pre-.
vail. Wherever government has H.
tervened for good highways, there
the people are happiest. The high
ways afford to the rural population
not alone the means or communica-
tion with the business world, but the
mean of reaching church houses and
school houses, and all that they have
Of social intercourse and amusement.
1t should be a matter of general pub
lie concern to have the highways in
all the states put in first-class condi.
ton. The states of themselves cap
never establish satisfactory systems
of roads, nor should they be expected
! to. The cost of road construction
should be equitably distributed, and
this can only be done through national
aid.

IN OCEAN

Some of the most beautiful sights
are found in the seattle coral reefs
and the sunken gardens. filled with
strange marine plants. Some marine
animals live only in the purest wa,
ter, others only in the foulest water;
for every condition there Is a life To
fit 1t.
y In all ocean basins, hills and ridges,
as well as troughs and deep holes, oc
cur, and the bottom Is covered with
the skeletons of marine animals
changed by time into slime and stone
Some of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need of them;
others have a hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over $4,000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 70 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous
one.
And the plant life in the ocean Ia
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study,
ing it for centuries and are only be.
ginning to understand it. If you want
to be interested as no novel can In
terest you, procure a book telling in
a simple name Of the life in the
seas. There are plenty of such books
written for the people rather than for
scientists.

THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.
Suggestion as to Effective Method of
Preventing Injury to
Plants.

The only effective way to prevent
injuries to asparagus by asparagus
beetle larvae is to destroy the eggs
before they hatch, says the Orange
Cnd.) Farmer. The first eggs are
laid on the young shoots; later on
the grown plant. They are black,
about Lie inch long and set nearly
at right angles to the stem; so,
though small, they are fairly conspic-
uous. In a few days they hatch into
Shiny, greenish slugs with black
heads, legs and dots on the body.
The simplest way to manage is to
leave a few inferior shoots for the
females to lay eggs on. When four
or five days old these shoots must
be cut and burned and others allowed
to replace them. To simplify this
cutting and to reduce to a minimum,
the chance of missing any plants,
those allowed to remain should be
all in certain parts of the field on
certain days. The field should be di-
vided into four or three equal parts,
depending IN the frequency of cut
ting. At the first cutting the trap
plants should be left in the first Sec
ton and so on. In each other section
every punky stalk should be cut with
the marketable ones and burned.
Every trap plant in any section must
be cut on the fourth or fifth day and
the plan continued through the cut.
ting season. This will completely
protect the field from late attack and
reduce possible i%nfestation the next
season, provided no asparagus is al.
lowed to grow in fence rows and
waste places and provided neighbors
are as careful.
