OHIO.

If the Ohio State Insurance commis- sioner knows what he thinks he does, Ohio is going to be for Taft sure and strong. He says: No organization seems necessary to insure tine Ohio del- egation for Taft in the next national convention, but I will cooperate with. others, and there will be many of them, to give cGncrete form to the Taft sem
 timent for the purpose of convincing | the rest of the country that Ohio Is
 and will be solidly, unfalteringly and enthusiastically for Taft for President. Plans and details, whatever they may
 be, will not be secret, but will be made
 known, for they will contemplate a | demonstration of such a strong and unanimous Taft sentiment in Ohio that, | cooperating with his great general popularity throughout the country, will
 make him the certain choice of the next Republican national convention.
 If this is a correct description of the situation in Ohio 1t is important. When Ohio is united in sentiment she is
 strong. As there is every reason why
 Ohio should be wholly for Taft, it is entirely reasonable to believe that, she | will be.

Asserting that the tactics by which "Abe'' Ruef has delayed the course of justice at San Francisco have injured the reputation of the State of Califor- mia, the San Francisco Chronicle says: Tt is time that the substantial men of the State had their attention drawn to the results of misgovernment. It low CTS the price of every farm and of ev- cry city lot and building. It drives de- cent men from us and invites criminals to come. Misgovernment does not pay. The wide-open town does not pay. An impotent judiciary does not pay If we cannot riseto the Christian ideal of doing the right and decent thing because it is right and decent, we might at least recognize that de- cency is the best policy because it pays best. It is silly to throw the blame on our officials They are the men of our deliberate choice, and they do repre- sent the people of San Francisco and California. Our government is what we made it.

A queer legal question came before the municipal civil court in Boston last week when a suit to recover damages for the loss of an overcoat stolen while it's owner was eating dinner in the Quincy House was heard It was all legged that, as no signs were displayed announcing that the house would not be responsible for unchecked clothing, the defendant was liable for the loss. The defense contended that, as com panion of the man losing the coat had paid for both food checks, the plaintiff was not a guest of the house. No de- cision has yet been given.

HORTICULTURE
BY F. WALDEN


We find in our orchards a few cases
of bitter rot on three varieties of ap-
pies. The Vandevere or Newtown
Spitzenburg, the Mammoth Black
Twig (Arkansas), and the Stark are
the varieties upon which this disease
has made it's appearance. H. M. Gil
bert tells me he has seen some cases
of this disease on his Black Twig in
his orchard near North Yakima. If
it is found in any other orchards in
the Yakima valley | am not so inform
ed. 1t was reported to be in some
of the orchards near Moscow, Idaho.
1t may be in other parts of this state
and in Oregon, but | am not informed
as to this point. 1t may be expected
to show itself almost anywhere in
the northwest. 1t is a serious pest in
some parts of the United States and
notably so in Missouri and Illinois.
This disease must not be COMPOUNDED
with what is known as the Baldwin
speck," which it resembles to some
extent The cause and cure of the
so-called Baldwin speck are neither
known. One encouraging thing about
this disease is that it does not attack
it is not strictly confined to the Bald
win.
+
The bitter rot, however, is not limit
ed to few varieties, and, hence, may
prove much more serious to the apple
grower. 1t is fungus disease and is
amenable to treatment. The expert
ment stations have given much atten-
ton to bitter rot and as a result are
able to give us reliable instructions
as to the methods of controlling this
dangerous disease. Some apple grow
ers think it will never become seri-
Gus pest in the dry hot valleys in
the intermountain regions of the Pa
cific slope 1t is not best to be too
sanguine about this immunity. Better
look out for this disease and meet it
and check it when we can.
Y
What is the remedy for bitter rot?
To answer this question intelligently
it must be borne in mind that some
form of copper is the sovereign fungi
eide Other things will kill fungi, but
nothing is equal to copper when all
things are considered. Sulphate of
copper, commonly called blue stone
or blue vitriol, is the form generally
used This must be combined with
lime so as to neutralize the sulphuric
acid with which it is made. The COM
bination of copper sulphate and lime
most in use is what is called the BOr-
deaux mixture. From four to six
pounds of blue stone and the same
number of pounds of good lime and
fifty gallons of water make the COM
bination known as the Bordeaux mix
ture. l will not here and now describe
the method of making good and reli-
able Bordeaux. Suffice it to say that
every apple grower who wishes to
make a success of his business must
know how to prepare the mixture and
how to apply it. With it he can sue
cessfully contend with bitter rot, ap-
pie scab, brown rot, black spot can
KERN short, all kinds of fungi that
may attack the foliage, fruit or body
of our fruit trees.
