Care Of Spruce Plantation.

The trees require no cultivation
after planting. Their great tolerance
enables them to survive the shade Of
brush and weeds and eventually to
oyertop them. The greatest enemy of
the spruce is fire. which should be
carefully excluded from plantations.
Spruce stands should never be severe
ly thinned, as the shallow root system
renders the trees liable to be thrown
by the wind. This damage is especial
ly great In exposed situations. In
case such destructive agencies as In
sects or fungi appear, specimens. ac-
companied by an account Of the char
acter of the injury. should be sent to
the department of agriculture for

PRUNE NOW.
June ,s an Excellent Month to Trim
the Trees.

1t may be all right to advise prun-
ing whenever your knife is sharp, but
really the best time is during May and
June, for during these months trees
make their quickest and most vigor-
Gus growth, and the wounds made by
pruning will heal quicker now than at
any other season of the year. The
quicker the wound heals the better
for the tree. Many old horticulturists
say. prune when the leaves are as big
as squirrels ears. II pruning Is done
before this time the wound is apt to
bleed" and will not heal so readily.
II large limbs are taken of paint the
stubs so that they will not dry out and
crack open. Here Is where many
make blunder, says Indiana Farmer.
They leave too much stub In the first
place. and 1t is probably split down
one side. Before the wound Is healed
over this stump Is cracked and decay
sets In. While you are at 1t do q
good. clean job, and sharp knives and
sharp saws will help you do 1t.

CONDITION OF COTTON.
Experts Report the Crop to Be in
Fair Shape.

fdir Snape.
New Orleans, La, July 1.-The
Picayune's cotton summary today
says:
Continued favorable weather
with the cotton plant takAg on
new life Is the tenor of the reports
received by the Picayupe on con-
ditions in Louisiana and MissIs-
sippi for the week ending today.
Local showers have given the soil
a sufficient amount of moisture
for proper tilling with the mellow
sunshine is rapidly bringing out
the vitality of the plant. Some
sections have reached the laying
by stage. With every condition
promising, the change for the
better is not less than miraculous.
Three weeks ago 1t appeared that
a half crop was a high estimate
under the most favorable circum-
stances, bat today some CORES
pondents say that full crop is
not beyond possibility, aud sever
al estimates place the crop above
the usual. Boil wcevils are doing
considerable damage In Winn and
st. Landry parishes, Louisiana.

Political Clubs.

The organization of political
clubs in the interest of particular
candidates for Office Is out of date
and out of place. The political
club is q weapon of the bosses
and it is q survival of boss rule.
The Signal endorses the following
from the Lafayette Gazette:
"Pledging voters before election
BY organizing clubs that favor
certain candidates Is destructive
both of the spirit and the-purpose
of the primary. 1t is aNspecies of
coercion practiced by politicians
who have no longerthe hardihood
to attempt individual coercion.
If the voters are wise they will
refrain from putting their sigma
lures to any club roll, especially
when asked to do so by "leader. "
This is a polite way of saying,
"here put this ticket in the box
for so and So"
"If there is any pledglng to be
done, let the voter pledge the
ssleader" to certain reforms that
are now the crying need of parish
and State, or give him a back
seat, if he refuse to toe the line,
by firing at him a box full of hot
shot ballots with the other fell
lows name on them.
"Signing q roll now is tanta-
mount to pledgIng oneself before
the primary, and the primary is
designed for that very purpose,
viz: 70 pledge voters to the nomi-
nee, and this pledge should only

The Day of the Farmer.

The farmer who is not an
amateur is really an increasing
factor in today's life. In fact,
farming is rapidly becoming one
of the professions. We have our
agricultural schools, just as we
have our law schools.
1t Is getting to be business
as we'll. Farmers have their
trusts, like other manufacturers.
1t is a far cry from the New
England farmer, trying to ar
range an exploded granite quarry
into a stone wall that he may
have room In which to plant his
crop, and that master of capital,
science and black earth ten feet
deep who plows with a traction
engine and reaps with ten-horse
team. And between these two
types of farmers the drift Is
steadily toward the latter.
The capitalist does not fore
close mortgages on the prairie
farm now. He borrows money
Of its owner. The farm is the
nursery Of individualism. If you
are cliffdweller in the city send
your boy there this summer, and
let him see what it means to
create wealth with the help of
nature rather than with the
ticker. You will help make him
: better American.-WorId

The Memphis View.

Memphis. Tenn. July 1.-The
Comfnercial-Appeal publishes to-
day the following crop review
compiled from the reports of its
correspondents throughout the
Southern States:
Weather conditions slightly
favorable to the growth of the
cotton plant prevailed last week
throughout the South, except IN
those few localities where the
rainfull was too heavy. Under
high temperatures, with an abun-
dance of moisture, the plant made
considerable growth. Ithad al
ready been we'll cultivated and
was in a position to respond to
these favorable influences.
The plant is still very small,
however, over more than two
thirds of the country producing
territory and from two to six
weeks late. This fact is promi
nent in all districts. The ap-
proaching of July has made the
small size of the plant apparent.
and some question has been raised
as to the chances for July fruit
age with a small late plant.
Blooms are late everywhere and
in the hill sections, the small
plant seems to need much growth
before producing them. In the
central cotton belt stands are
irregular.
Texas reports an increased
number of boil weeviIs aud a late
crop. Rapid progress was made
turing the week, however, the
high temperatures being bene-
fetal. Oklahoma had too much
rain for the uncultivated cotton,
but that worked out benefited
thereby.
The week in the Eastern states
was the most favorable of the
season, and much progress is
reported.
Except in the sections infested
by weevd the sole complaint may
be said to lie in the lateness of
the crop, the weather of the week
having been practically ideal.
