The following is the full text of the
opinion rendered March to the Presi-
dent by Attorney General Bonaparte
in which it is held that States, (and
Territories) cannot assist imm grafton
to any part of the United States, ex-
cept by advertising their advantages,
etc. This is the decision that when
first made created such CONSERVATION
regarding the arrangenients already
made for the Helliopols and the Ku-
sailed anj the latter of which is to
sail this month; CONSERVATION which
was not relieved until assurance came
from the President himself that those
shipments would not be interfered
with.
This decision, has however, apparent
ly put an end to further assisted immi-
grafton along the lines that have so far
been pursued. This is the first pub
lication of the opinion in this Terr,-
tory.
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 26th
ultimo, inclosing one from Hon. Ben
jamin F. Howell chairman of the COM
mittee on immigration and Naturali-
zation of the House of Representatives,
under date of February % last past
to you, in which you are requested, on
behalf of that committee, to refer to
me, for my opinion, the question as to
whether certain aliens, described in a
resolution, of which a copy was in
closed, were lawfully admitted into the
United States. The resolut on, how
ever, describes these aliens only as
foreign laborers" introduced lin the
State of South Carolina by one e, J..
Watson" To ascertain the circum-
stances of their Introduction. 1t is ne
cessary to refer to a pamphlet also
accompanying the letter of the COM
mittee, and which contains Decision
No. Ill of the Solicitor of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, which
appears to have been published for
the information of those interested" on
December 26, 1906, by that Department,
1 shall refer later to the facts set out
in this decision with respect to the
subject-matter of inquiry. 1t will,
however, conduce to clearness if
state first the general provisions of law
relating to the exclusion and deporta-
tion of aliens existing at the time when
these immigrants were introduced into
the United States The precise date
does not appear but it was evidently
after February 23, 1904, and before De-
cember Is, 1906; and no material change
in the law took place between these
dates.

the Governors wishes in this matter is
taken by his opponents as showing that
his influence at Washington is on the
wane.
Indeed the fact that the slap at the
Governor came from Secretary Cartel
you, to these people, makes the rebuke
even more apparent than If it had
come from anybody short Of the Presi-
dent himself. Cortelyou is probably
closer to the President than any one
else in the cabinet. He was originally
the Presidents private secretary and
while in that position no doubt learned

looked which make liberal use of fer
tilizer on hay crops even more I'M
portant than for cultivated tcrops.
The entire plant, except the roots,
is removed in the harvested crop;
no part is returned to the soil as with
most other crops. The soil is not cul-
tivated while the crop is growing,
and therefore loses all the fert1l1z1ng
action of cultivation. The lmpor-
lance of this fact is we'll illustrated
by the famous hay crops OF Mr..
Clark, the inventor Of the Cutaway
harrow, at Higganum, Conn, who
has relied SO largely on cultivation
to produce his wonderful average yield
of over 7 tons of hay per acre tor
IL successive years Even Mr.. Clark,
however, with his great faith IN Gull
tivation, has found it profitable to
use large quantities of high grade
fertilizers.
Making the crop is but the first
step toward making money out OF 1T.
Saving the crop all if it, after it is
made, and getting it to market IN
good condition are hardly less i'm
Good weather is important, but
plenty of good tools is even more
so, because with a proper equip
ment one is nearly independent of
the weather. The mower need not
be discussed; without it there is no
hay. The horse rake is hardly less
necessary and is becoming nearly as
common. The tedder, for some rea-
son, has made slow progress in the
south. 1t is doubtful if any man who
has ever made hay by the use of this
implement ever willingly returned to
the slow, tedious and helpless cor
dition of the man without one. Com
parative independence of weather, by
the rapidity with which hay cures by
the use of the tedder, is only one of
the advantages secured. After the
crop is cured, the loader, stacker,
singer, or fork, and press are all in
dispensable if real economy is to be
practiced Each reduces the cost Of
making the finished product and adds
to the profits.
We are all familiar with the advice:
make hay while the sun Shines"
The sun shines now. May hay!

The Farm Dog.

7 believe the farm dog is as much
help to the farmers wife as to the
farmer himself Many men think
there is not place for a dog on the
farm. This is true as he is generally
treated. But if you have an intelli-
gent animal he can be trained so that
he will be helpful in many ways The
dogs place is primarily around the
house. [ do not believe he should
go upon the road with a team. If
he is useful he will not be in the
field much of the time.
The Scotch collie is the ideal farm
dog. He is intelligent and wei adapt
ed to the farm house I have known
we'll several of these dogs. We had
one ourselves and Our neighbor has
one now. Both of these showed an
extreme degree of intelligence. Our
dog was more Of a pet, although he
knew in moment when anything
was wrong around the place He
never went away from home with a
team, and he spent little of his time
in the field. He watched the chicken
yard closely, and whenever a fowl
gave the warning that a hawk was in
view he was up and ready to chase
it away. Just as soon as he could
catch sight of the bird he would be-

Cotton in Orange County.

The RepOrterStar tells Of some
cotton plants which have been grown
about two miles from Orlando. And
from the yield which few rows made
concludes that cotton could be profit
ably cultivated in Orange county. We
have no doubt that it will grow there
Or in almost any other part of Flori-
da, but it is doubtful if its cultivation
would be as profitable as other crops
which can be planted. There is one
obstacle in the way, it will not pay
to plant cotton, unless enough will
agree to do the same, to insure the
building of cotton gin. The item
referred to is as follows:
A. E. Gulledge, who resides about
two miles from this city planted sew
eral rows of short staple cotton this
season as an experiment. Tuesday he
brought in stalk to the Reporter
Star office and it is one of the best
specimens ever raised. The stalk at
present is only IS inches high but has
70 forms of bolies on it and at that
rate when it is fully matured will
have $50 or more bolles. A careful es-
innate of this yield to an acre would
make bale of cotton to the acre At
the price of cotton this would mean
$45 or $50 to the acre. This would
mean comfortable living for the
planter and in view Of the fact that
some thirty years ago, cotton was
raised in Orange county it would seem
that we are destined to again become
a cotton growing county. Scarcity of
labor and the growing of citrus fruits
excluded the white staple in former
years and have a great effect upon it
at the present time. There is plenty
of land in this vicinity that would
make good cotton crop and it is to
be hoped that more of it will be plant
ed in the future. Every little bit
helps"

to foliage was i'll no way injured by
spraying on hot, sunny days with
bordeaux having temperature of 40
degrees to As degrees.
In unsprayed fields the loss from
blights, rot and flea beetles was at
least 80 bushels an acre on the aver
age Most of this loss was due to
late blight and rot which follows it.
The general tendency of spraying is
to reduce the amount Of rot. In most
cases the reduction is very marked;
in some cases there is no difference;
and occasionally spraying increases
the amount of rot. 1t depends on
weather conditions and the thorough
ness of spraying. But whatever the
effect on rot, sprayed plants always
give a larger yield of marketable tu
bers Judging from the experiments
thus far made it appears that spray
ing for blight is an operation which
no potato grower in New York can
afford to neglect. Thirty three farm
ers' business experiments made dur
ing the past three years show an
average net profit of $22.7o an acre
due to spraying.

Value of Spraying Potatoes.

We have not seen any report of Sc
rious trouble from blight, by potato
growers, yet we know that it is in
the state Probably it has not yet
been sufficiently injurious to affect
the yield to any great extent. But it
is only a question of time when it
will increase to such an extent that
spraying will become as necessary in
following summary Of reported results,
Of experiments, was made by the
Mirror and Farmer:
Seventy separate experiments were
reported i'll a bulletin by the New
York experiment station. At Gene
va, five sprayings increased it 10Y
bushels. The gain was due partly to
prevention of late blight and partly to
prevention of rot. At Riverhead, the
gain due to five spraylngs was 81 bush
els an acre and to three sprayings,
81 I-3 bushels Here the flea beetle
was the chief enemy. In I3 farmers
business experiments including 166
2-3 acres, the average gain due to
spraying was 46 I-2 bushels an acre;
the average total cost of spraying,
$4.25 an acre; the average cost Of each
spraying, % cents an acre; and the
average net profit $1,000 an acre. In
so volunteer experiments, including
4o7 acres, the average gain due to
spraying was $4.57 an acre; the aver
age cost for each spraying, o. cents

acre

Are We going to make thriving,
prosperous business and manufac-
turing center and large city out o'
Ardmore or will IL continue to be
in the future, as in the past, a good
sized country town? The answer
TO this question rests with our citi.
zens and with the energy and push
to be displayed by our commercial

fact that under statehood. Ardmore

adjoining counties that It has been
enjoying as the seat of the land Office

Chickasaw nation.
We need in this city manufactur
ing establishments with good
monthly payroll to skilled laborers
of all kinds and this can be accom-.
plished by a long pull and a pull that's
altogether.
We must first be prepared to offer
inducements for factories to locate
here. Now how can that be done?
First: We must secure the land.
second: We must nave cheap fuel,
third: We must be prepared to of.

a bonus, but with collateral, IL that
should be necessary.
Let the Commercial Club buy
three or four hundred acres of land
near town and plat half OF 1t into
lots and sell these lots to the peo-
pie. This land can be bought for
$40 90 an acre. and any citizen who
is not public spirited enough to sell
his land or part of It at that price
for such purpose should be run
out of town.
The price OF these lots can be pupt
at $4,000. within the reach OF every
body. and enough money realized to
pay for the land and leave a hand
some surplus for judicious advertis-
ing. We will have natural gas by
October LIST, and that settles the
question OF cheap fuel Let the man
ufacturers learn that Ardmore wants
them and will donate free site and
can furnish cheap fuel to the par

thing to induce manufacturers to
