Appreciation Shown for Her Crusade Against
Whistles

Mrs. Isaac I. Rice. who few weeks ago began
single handed crusade against the continual tool-
ing of steamers in the river and harbor, will go o
washington next Tuesday to plead her cause with
the federal authorities The matter has now been
referred to the supervising inspectors of steam
boats and they have arranged to give hearing
on January II. Speaking OF the matter yesterday
Mrs Rice said:

f 6VCkOTlUO Trees WIN Nn0mtCa1Os
More than year ago we called at
tention to the fact that q certain com
pany Of men were selling to the farm.
ers q process for doctoring trees with
. chemical compound, says the Far
mers Review. The plan was to bore
q hole In the tree ana insert in It
some kind Of a mysterious compound.
Generally the loading agent Of the
company went to the orchard, bored
the hole in the trees himself and In
serted the compound. He claimed that
this would protect the trees from all
kinds Of blights and all kinds Of In
sects. He charged for his work SO
cents per tree, but literally Allowed
the orchardist to pay hal; .a., and
the rest some months later. The abb
surdity Of the thing should aAye pre-
vented farmers from taking u, with
the scheme. We published y alrntng
at the time these men entered the
field.
Soon we began to receive letters
from Michigan saying that tbs agents
were working there and that thou
sands Of trees were being treated BY
them. In a visit to southern Michi-
gan the editor Of the Farmers Review
discussed the matter with many
orchardists and with the director Of
the substation at South Haven. Mr..
Farrand as we'll as other experienced
orchardists warned the fruit dealers to
beware of the fraud, but the agent had
persuaded SO many of them that many
hundreds of orchardists purchased
the treatment from the agent. In one
county alone 10000 trees were treated
This represented $4,000, of which half
was paid down, the agent thus receiv-
ing $500.
Later a few trees were treated on
the experimental farm and the com
pounds were actually taken out and
analysed by the experiment station
men. The compound was found to con
sist of some very simple chemical, a
chemical which, could in no way affect
the health of TIE tree. The ding was
swindle pure and simple. 1t was re-
ported that the agent never returned
to collect the other 50 per cent. 1t is
probable That lie never will attempt
to collect 1t, ana it is further probable
that he never intended to collect 1t.
It proved a mistake, however, to
allow trees to be treated on the EEK
detrimental far;ls, as It gave these
agents an opportunity to say when
they went to the eastern states to be-
gin their work tnat tie process had
been tried and approved at the Mich
igan station. "A
We ghope that this lesson, though
costly to the fruit growers OF southern
Michigan, will prove OF some value to
other fruit growers that may have the
opportunity to Twaste theirs money
upon the same kind Of treatment.
The idea is not : new one and has
been worked In various forms in diff
ferent parts Of the country for . great
many years. AS It has proved SO ex-
ceedingly valuable to the men who
claim to know the secret, it is certain
that they or others will continue. to.
work 1t from time to time in various
parts Of the country.
