Spraying Apples.

Last June, the Philadelphia North
American had this item: zap
pies that were gathered from Pennsyl-
vania and Delaware orchards last fall
and since that time kept in cold stor-
age, are selling on the stalls in the
Reading Terminal market at so cents
tt dollar dozen. These apples are
choice varieties, known as Stayman,
and York Imperial; the former grown
in Kent county, Delaware, and the lat
ter in Adams county, Pennsylvania
Other varieties, prominent among
among which are Baldwin, Spitzenberg
and Rome Beauty, range all the way
from 25 to 60 cents per half peck, ac-
cording to size and condition. x X
The prices these apples have been sell
ling for are almost unheard of. and
are not wholly due to the prospec-
tive scarcity of apples this year. :
Besides the probable shortgae. these
varieties that are commanding such
exceptionally high prices were spray
ed thoroughly. This has been the pri
mary reason; and what has been done
in these sections can be done else
where when the same care and thor
oughness in spraying and other neces-
sites are practiced."
The condition of the apples at the
various exhibitions the present fall
emphasize the statement above in re-
gard to spraying. Where this had
been attended to, the fruit was per-
feet. Where it had been neglected,
it was not easy to find specimen that
was without some imperfection: in
most cases not great injury, but
juest enough to interfere with the
keeping Of the fruit Evidently spray
ing must not be omitted, and the upz
to-date orchardist must prepare for it.

FOR THE FARM, ORCHARD AND GARDEN
Matters Of Importance to The Agricultural and HOFlCutuPs
The State Meetings.


The meeting of the various state
associations which is to convene at
Weston December 8, 1907, bids fair to
be the best ever held in the state A
Iletter from G. C. Starcher who is do
ing more to further the interest of
the meeting than any other one man,
says Dairy Premiums, of $4550 will
be given by the local people for dairy
products. The same people offer 1920
in premiums for fruit exhibits. An
exhibit will also be given of spraying
apparatus
State Grange.
The state grange will meet during
The same week Union grange, No.
rs, CASTOR Lewis county, will confer
fifth degree in full form and the Ber-
lin grange, No. 21S, will give the sixth
degree.
Weston is beautiful town and the
people will spare no pains to give
the visitors good time.
Coming to West Virginia.
President Butterfield, of the Massa-
tchusetts Agricultural college, is COM,
ling to West Virginia in January to de-
liver a course of five or six lectures
IN rural economics to the students
of the short course of the College of
Agriculture. His coming ought to
arouse a good deal of interest among
the wide-awake farmers of this state.
He is a leader in his line Of work A
graduate of the Michigan Agricultur-
al college. Mr.. Butterfeld's first
success was as editor of the Grange
Visitor, a semi-monthly paper pub
lished by the Michigan state grange.
Then he organized and developed the
farmers institute system of Mich
igan, making it a power for good. Lat
sr he was called to the presidency of
the Rhode Island College of Agricul-
Iture and Mechanic Arts, where he
put lot of western SNAP" and "go''
into. very sedate institution. From
Rhode Island he went to Massachu-
sets about a year ago. He has been
the inspiration of number of sue
cessful conferences on rural progress
in New England. He is a leader in
the agricultural extension movement,
which has been taken up in earnest by
cur state university.

ested should write for particulars to

KATY DID. AND kATZENBACH DIDN'T

KATY DID. AND kATZENBACH DiDNT-
Thou sayeSt undiSputed thing in such
solemn way was the poets apostrophe to the
katydd. without the changing OF a word it
might he applied TO the Democratic candidate
for the governorship OF New Jersey. His speech
ON Tuesday accepting the nomination which had
been given 10 him by MesSrs. Smith and Davis
solemn in tone - n portentouS degree. and
it was filled from exordium 10 peroraton with
things quite as undsputed Katy did or
Katy didn't But upon controversial matters,
and especially upon that one controver sial mat
ter which. we are vehemenuy and voluminously
assured. is the crux of the whole campaign, not
a word
Let US see then. how the parties and their
candidates stand at this time on the excise
question. The Republican platform gives prom
ist. of such further legislation may be needed,
without assuming to declare in advance what
that will be- leaving such determination for the
expression of intelligent and deliberate public
opinion to Indicate The Democratic platform
simply lodges behind ambiguous generality
about its traditional dislike of "sumptuary legis-
lation." which may mean anything or nothing.
Beyond doubt the former is the more definite
and specific Of the two and gives the greater
surance of compliance with the popular will.
But if something more than platforms is re-
ton il must he sought in the records and ut
terances of the candidates Mr. Fort a JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court had an enviable rec
ord for fearless and impartial administration of
the law foreshadowing the manner in which as
Governor he will execute the law, while as n
candidate for the governOrship he stands
squarely the platform. Mr.. Katzenbach rs
Mayor of Trenton made no particular record on
the excise question. while a candidate for
Governor OH that pre-eminently timely topic he
is absolutely mute. On the one hand, logical,
definite platform and outspoken candidate;
on the other. vague evasive platform and
silent candidate
It is delightful thing no doubt. at times to
be able to say undisputed things in solemn
way. II pleases many people to have you agree
with them. But there are times when people
want candidates for high office to speak out like
men upon disputed subjects. and it looks very
much as if this such time in the state
Of New Jersey. katydids are numerous and
shrill for about six weeks before frost but after
frost, especially an early November frost their
solemn iteration of undisputed things Is stilled.

rt<P0SING OF MOROCCO.

The announcement of peace in Morocco is
probably little too optimistic. Peace may be
established between France and some of the
Rerber tribes which have had a sufficient taste
of European lead and steel at Casablanca
There is no assurance OF peace between the Sui
tan and his brother, the Pretender Of the south
ern capital, or between the Sultan and the Riff
fan Pretender. OF between the Sultan and the
bricand Raisui: and there Is no guarantee that
all the other independent Berber tribes will keep
the peace Just because three or four have agreed
70 do so. or indeed that these three four
will do so longer than suits the pleasure Of
some irresponsible chieftain. Thus far, no
doubt France and Spain have done remarkably
we'll the difficult and unwelcome work which
Europe commissioned them TO do, but we must
doubt if their work Is yet done more than
well begun The immediate problem Of Casa
blanca may be settled. The greater problem OF
all Morocco is still unsoved.
The proposal is made to cut UP Morocco
much as though the empire were merely piece
of the leather which takes its name there
from Since there are and long have been two
capitals and since there now two Sultans
it is urged that Abdul Aziz be kept in power
at Fez while Muley Hafd is recognized Sui
tan at Morocco and that the empire be divided
between them. The scheme is probably i'm
practicable for two major reasons: First. that
neither Abdul nor Hafd would agree TO it or
be content with ii, and second, that if they did
both accept il il would not restore peace to the
land.
Morocco may be, and indeed is practically
divided into three parts. one of which is almost
indefinitely subdivided First. there is tri-
angular tract extending the coast from
Rabat 10 Tetuan and inland a little beyond
Fez which is subject to the Sultan at Fez.
Second. there is another triangle at the south
west. extending from MaZagan down TO lit
tie below Mogador. on the coast. and with its
inland apex fifty miles beyond Morocco which
is now adherent to Muiey Hafd, and which
has ALWAYS maintained an air Of semi mndepen-
dence toward the court Fez Third, there is
all the rest, or nine-tenths of the empire which
is occupied by various tribes which have never
subjected themselves TO either FeZ or Morocco
have paid no taxes and given military ser
vice and have felt themselves free at auv

THE NEW THIRD DEGREE"

In these days when scientists announcing
life be produced chemically and that maybe
there is something in telepathy after all. 1t
requires more than ordinary boldness and skep-
ticism to say that any new hypothesis or method
must be'' absurd Discretion is not only the
better part of valor but also of opinion even
when the remarka BILE views of Professor Miins-
terberg about the psychological method Of find
Ing out the truth by machinery are under con
sideraton. However Incredible the psychoIo-
gsts declaration that he tell whether or
not man is prevaricating may be, many read
ers of Professor Minsterbergs recent articles
in "McCiure's Magazine will doubtless suppress
their natural inclination to scoff. because they
have seen the impossible verified too often in
the telephone X-rays, hypnotic cures, radium,
and thousand other modern marvels. Indeed,
it is not at all unlikely that hundreds of intei-
gent persons having been SO impressed by the
rapid succession of revolutionary scientific dis
coveries of late. will assume that the truth
finding machines of the psychologist must
do all that is asserted for them simply be-
cause they are such incredible inventions. But
a careful reading of the scientists own state
ments provokes doubt about even the most
sweeping claims Professor Minsterberg makes
concerning detective work by electricity" being
portentous of great revolution in police and
