LEGISLATIVE INIQuITIEs.

The recent charges and counter
charges in connection with the ses-
sion of the Kentucky legislature. and
the call of the governor for a special
session to act on matters ignored
when they should have been attended
to. make the following from yester-
days Chicago Record-Herald timely
for Kentucky readers:
During the last session of the I'LL
nois Legislature considerable atten-
ton was paid by the Legislative Vot-
ers' League and the press to the alb
surdly wasteful and unbusinesslike
methods of our lawmakers. The hab-
1t of leaving all the important busi-
ness of the session for the last few
days, the final stage thereof, with its
hurry confusion, log-rolling and ira
ding, does not conduce to efficiency
and intelligence in legislation. We
know what scandals and suspicious
grow out of this practice. Bills are
stolen or lost; phraseology Is chang
ed in mysterious ways and the exec
utive signs bills different from those
passed. Ambiguity and obscurity
characterize many of the measures
which escape dishonest manipulation.
The longer the session the greater
is the danger of such congestion at
the end, and the only result of the
prolongation is seen in the needless
expenditure of public money.
1t Is such considerations as these
that have dictated demands for the
adoption by legislatures of more
practical. rational and businesslike
methods.
Now comes Representative McKin-
ley-a man OF excellent record and
by the announcement of his retire
ment of his retirement from the leg
islative field emphasizes another side
of the evil habit in question. The
honest and capable member, he points
out. who has a profession, business
or trade to cultivate is not sufficient
ly compensated for the time consum-
ed by his Legislative duties plus cam
paigning. The greater his ability and
value the greater his loss. The pro-
fessional politicians, the spoilsmen
and the Legislators for revenue only
profit by procrastination and delay
and dawdling. A long session increas-
es the opportunities for matchmaking
and "stril1e" bills, for jobbery and
trading of all kinds. besides making
for larger and fatter appropriations
for so-called employees Of the general
assembly. II is the faithful servant
of the public who suffers, and IL he is
forced to withdraw because he can
not afford to neglect his profession"
the state is injured indirectly as we'll
as directly.
There is certainly great need for
a movement I'm behalf of shorter cam
paigns and Detter iisti itutioh AMI
management of the business of the
legislatures.

There are portions of the corn belt
where the chief topic Of conversation
the past season touching this crop has
been the ravages Of the corn root
worm. A resident of such a locality
told us recently that in one field which
he examined early in September 80 per
cent of the stalks inspected were af-
fected by the worm, while in another
it was found in all, although there was
no outward evidence Of the presence
of the worm In every case. The only
remedy for this pest seems to be a sys-
tematic crop rotation.

A leading eastern horticultural is re-

and raises profitable crops it is not in
need of fertilizers, but when the trees
show signs of impoverishment then
something should be done. We do not
know Of the standing of this authority
in his home state, but 1t strikes one
that the time to fertilize the orchard Is
before 1t begins to show signs Of lack
of fertilizing. In other words, 1t Is bet
ter to keep the orchard from getting
sick than 1t is to restore 1t to normal
condition after 1t Is run down.

A wind break is one Of the first
things to consider when one is thinking
Of engaging in fruit raising. This is as
necessary for the smaller varieties Of
fruit as well as the orchard. The char

somewhat upon how extensive ones
operations are to be. A thick hedgerow
of evergreens or stretch of woodland
Is best and will serve to keep out the
severer currents Of air as well as keep

We once heard Of real decent young
man-educated, too-who went to work
upon farm during the hot, sticky sea-
son. Naturally he was very tired and
dirty after working all day in the field.
He had been used In days past after
such exercise to relieve his feelings by
taking a bath and putting on fresh
clothing, even though old. He thought
to do the same at this place. Having
secured the water he sought for a
place of seclusion where he might use
II, but large family and small house
did not ease the situation. AS last re-
sort he waited until dusk had enshroud-
ed the place; then he quietly slid out
behind the straw stack. This Is situa-
ton too often to be contended with In
the farm home. 1t seems a pity not to
be able to keep clean when one Is natu-
rally inclined that way.
