THE APPLE INTERESTS
OF GARRETT COUNTY.
State Senator Brown Addressed a
Letter to the Public Upon the
Subject.


To the Editor ofThe Republican.
DEAR SIR:-As l feel confident
that you are i'll sympathy with me
in my efforts to improve the apple
interests of our county, l take the
liberty of asking that you will.
through the columns of your paper
once more bring before our peop|.
the Importance and necessity that
we should all unite i'll the produc-
tion..of a..few kinds (only) of the
best keeping, late or winter varie-
ties of apples, in order that we
may attract buyers to our farms
and produce apples by the car
load and not merely few bushels
of one kind, as is now usually the
case. Not only is keeping neces-
sary, but the quality must be good.
At the recent institute a popular
vote was taken, and this showed
that our leading apples were as
follows; Baldwin, York Imperial,
Northern Spy, Grimes Golden,
King of Tompkins.
The grating of nearly all of the
summer apple trees in our orchards
with one or more Of these varieties
cannot be too strongly urged; in
this way we will soon increase the
output of our farms, and the mar
ket now SO Elusive will come to us.
In setting ont trees, plant one
kind to the extent of at least one
hundred trees.
Now is the time to cut good
thrifty scions. If you have not
got them, get them from a neigh
Dor. z.After.. cutting them place
thems in the ground, partially
covering them.
If you have not grated yourself
learn how to do so; or if not this
then at once engage a good man
to do itsfor you
Trim your trees carefully, saw
ing the branches off close, and
parallel to the trunk of the tree,
and put some coal tar or paint over
the wound. Graft near the body
Of the tree not way of at the ends
Of spreading branches. In three
years, if your work is well done,
and you have put in enough gratis,
your trees, that are now practically
worthless i'll producing a revenue
will be Welding a handsome profit.
Fifty trees to an acre q. {. so X
50 feet should on an average
when in good bearing produce 500
to 600 bushels, this being about
100 barrels, or car load, and might
be expected if well handled and
cared for to produce $50 to $500
profit Yours truly,
w. MCCULLOH Brown.

Santa, the Catacombs, Just every

there we saw the art galleries and
many things of interest. I'd like

ter pieces that you read about and
see copies of. 1t is so interesting
to watch the students copying the
pictures. Some of the copies are
very good.
We spent S@Aday and Monday .
in Venice. II is a charming city.
There is not much to see except
San Marco Acadamy of Fine Arts,
Doges Palace, the dungeons, the
Bridge of Signs, &c. On Monday
morning we went down to the

are Just as dear as they can be.
They come and sit on your hands
and shoulders and seem perfectly
at home.
How often | have read about
things and how little l ever ex-

Geneva and spent all day there.

noon we took an incline train to
the summit of a small mountain.
When near our destination, the

PARIS, March IS, 1907.

My DEAR MOTHER:-We have
had a great time since we reached
Europe. We landed at Naples
Sunday 1.-The third of March. We
loafed around all day and went TO
church. On Monday Uncle Sum
ner, Marybai and l climbed Vesu-
wins and saw Pompeii. You've
heard all about this but I'll tell
you any how. We went about
two thirds of the way up Vesuvius
BY trolley ard then got horses.
We rode up an awfully steep zig
gag path. right up the cone
When we got nearly to the top of
it We had to get off and walk
The ashes were soft and our feet
sank down so our shoes were Just
filled with little Jumps and fine
gray dust. We didn't get much
of a view after we did get up for
it was very cloudy and the crater
was filled with fog We came
down some distance and then took
path for Pompcii. We had to
ride for about four miles over hard
ened lava and rocks aud | can tell
you II was not much of a Joke.
When We were about mile from
Pompeii great storm came up
and it rained furiously and we
were thoroughly drenched. 1t was
cold too but | didn't take cold.
Wet as we were we dragged our
way through Pompeii / had read
The Last Day of Pompeii' Just
before 50 that made it much more
interesting. You can see the
chariot ruts on the streets. Some
of the paintings are almost perfect
and everything seems so we'll pre-
served. We left Naples that night
at midnight and arrived in Rome
at six in the morning.
| can't tell you everything we
did there but these are some of
the things we saw: St. Peter
Cathedral, Vatican, jSistine Chap
Ell, Museum of Sculpture, Forum,
Colosseum, st Paul's outside the
Wall, St. John Lateran Scala

THE PRESIDENTS RESPONSE.

liz L lNOldSlll llSiO ANA AllNAiAD NJ
clined to make speech before the
Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton defining more fully than he
has already done his attitude to-
ward the railroads. He calls at
tention to his speeches and mes
sages delivered within the past
two years upon one phase or an
other of the subject of railroad
management and control, and in
an explanatory letter written to
the chairman Of the Illinois asso-
citation he remarks that these
speeches and messages embody all
that he would have to say ii he
spoke now.
In the opening of the Raleigh
speech, to which Mr.. Roosevelt
directs attention, he declares: Il
do not believe in government own
ership of anything which can, with
propriety, be left in private hands,
and, in particular, l should most
strenuously object to government
ownership OF railroads" He fol-
lows this declaration up, however,
by making perfectly plain the dis
tinction which he draws between
government ownership and govern
ment control of the railroads. He
is just as positive in declaring that
they should be controlled as he is
in his expression of belief that
they should not be owned. 1t is
Supervisory and regulatory right
over the railroads" for which he
contends, and, i'll this connection,
he asserts that actual experience
has shown that it is not possible to
leave the railroads uncontrolled.
In this breif summary Mr.. Roose-
velt's often defined and generally
understood attitude upon the rail
road issues that have recently
been under general discussion is
stated. AS he himself intimates,
1t would scarcely be worth while
to make special speech in order
to say the same things over again.
But it is reasonable assumption
that those who have been urging
the President to deliver some mes
sage to the general public that
would serve to allay the feeling Of
apprehension that has followed
the recent marked decline in prices
of railroad and industrial securi-
ties did not expect of him that he
should repudiate any of his ex-
pressed views concerning the de-
gree of governmental regulation
to which the railroad should be
subjected. Judging from the pur-
port of recently published paper
by Mr.. Hartman, the President
and that railroad magnate are nc,
so very far apart on the questions
of government regulation In
deed, it seems that Mr.. Hartman
has conceded to the business of
pretty much all for which Mr..
Roosevelt contends.
What the President has been
urged to do, it is generally under
stood, was that he should make
some formal utterance that would
aid in restoring confidence in the
general railroad and business stu
alton. Possibly his brief letter
calling attention to his previous
utterances may have some such
effect. 1t is not simply the I'm
mediate situation in Wall Street
that is involved, but the far-reach.
ing and intricate situation that
embraces all the industries of the
country that may eventually be
affected if unreasonable fears con.
tinue to dominate. Whether
