Crop Rotation and Root-Aphis.


From the fact that in the midst of
the corn belt, and where the root-aphis
is known to prove destructive under
certain conditions almost complete i'm
munity Is secured where a system Of
crop rotation has been carried out for
many years, involving but one corn
crop in the cycle of rotation, it is self
evident that this measure offers the
greatest protection from the ravages Of
this pest, says a government report.
Indeed, it is only where such a sys-
TEN of crop rotation is not practicable
that the root-aphis need be considered
in farm practice. To the eastward,
where there is more general rotation
of crops, this pest does but little in
jury.
Unfortunately, local conditions, often
extending over large sections of coun-
try, will not permit Of crop rotation
being generally adopted, and some 9th
er plan more feasible must be put into
practice. Two other methods may be
followed One of these is practicable
throughout the corn-growing section Of
the country in seasons of not more
than normal precipitation during the
time intervening between the first
blowing of the ground and the first
cultivation of the young corn. The 9TH
err is perhaps best adapted to the south
ern portion of the country on account
of tho mildeT winters

Mcclellan and the Army.

George B. Mcclellan had every at
tribute of a great soldier but daring
His genius for organization was unrl-
vailed and he exhibited a magnetism
that made him the idol Of the army.
Neither his own, nor the present gener-
alton realizes the immense debt the
union owes him, and General Grant
shrewdly estimated his career when he
said that Mcclellan came on the scene
too early.
Fate opposed Mcclellan, the best de-
fensive soldier the war produced, to
Lee, the foremost aggressive soldier the
war produced. If the two armies be-
fore Richmond in 1862 could have eX-
changed commanders, and they had
had been left alone by the war offices
at Washington and Richmond, no doubt
there would have been the finest eXhi-
bition of soldership since Napoleon the
Great.
The Army of the Potomac was fash
toned into the splendid fighting ma
chine it became under Grant by George
B. Mcclellan. 1t was a mob, democrat
lied by the rout of first Bull Run, when
he took command. 1t was veteranized
under his eye in the titanic struggles
of the seven days. Again it was a
mob when he succeeded Pope after sec
ond Bull Run. In Maryland he fought
a drawn battle that was practical vic
tory in that it brought Lees splendid
aggressive campaign to naught. In its
consequences Antietam was all that
Gettysburg was, and but for Antietam
there would have been no Gettysburg
but for Antietam there would have
been no Appomattox.
McClellan's letter from Harrisons
Landing sealed his fate as commander
of the Army of the Potomac. The day
Mr.. Lincoln read that he determined
to be rid of Mcclellan as soon as he
could do without him. When Pope was
overwhelmed there was nothing to do
but to recall Mcclellan to the com
mand. The army demanded it, and
brave as it was, it would not have
fought under anybody else. Antietam

ion. Had Mcclellan been as disastrous
ly beaten there as Pope was at Bull
Run, or Burnside at Fredericksburg, or
Hooker at Charlottesville, Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New
York might have fallen and the war
been ended.
But it is not yet time to fix McClel-
Ian's place as a commander. History
will do that; yet all intelligent men
know he was beaten by Lincoln and
Stanton, not by Lee and Jackson.
Not failure, but politics, retired Nc

S. b. WILEY REELECTED.
Remains Sovereign Chief, for Fifth
Term, of Sons of Jonadab.

| At the recent session of the Sovereign
| Council. Sons of Jonadab. at Harpers Ferry.
Mr.. S. II. Wiley of this city was reelected
sovereign chief for the fifth term. In his
annual message to the organization he Wig
orously reaffirmed the position of the as
sociation as the only one endowed with the
lifetime pledge against intoxicants
Other officers elected were: Sovereign vice
chief ]. ]. Hayne of Washington; sovereign
patriarch. ]. H. Cox OF Bolivar, w. Va;
sovereign secretary William II. Young Of
Washington: sovereign treasurer, Frank j.
McQuade of Washington; sovereign guide.
Fred o. Lentz of Washington; sovereign
Waterman. w. P. Evans of Washington. BY
unanimous vote Washington was selected
as the place in which to hold the session OF
1908
In the course of his message Sovereign
Chief Wiley said
During the year some OF the councils
have celebrated IN public manner their an
niversarieS. The councils of Washington
all held watch-nght meetings al their va
rious halls on the night of December 81
Innovations on past customs were inau-
gurated by Pioneer and Good Will councils
in inviting the attendance of the ladies of
JOnadab families and their friends to oe
present at their meetings. There have been
some excursions among the councils during
the past summer, and Potomac and Shenan-
fraternal visits that are indeed pleasing and
gratifying. Potomac took the initiative and
surprised Shenandoah in body. This visit
was returned in like manner. Such mani
festations OF the true Jonadab spirit are
highly commendabe.
Since The last meeting OF this body death
has entered our ranks and taken from us
two brothers. John Riddle and Allen G. Nc
Lean, both of Good VIII Council. Brother
Riddle was a past chief of Good VIII Coun-
ell and had been Jonadab about fourteen
years During the last four or five years
of his life Brother Riddle was an invalid
and a patient sufferer. but whenever his
physical disability permitted was In at
tendance at his council meetings. Brother
Mclean was past chief and past deputy
sovereign chief He became a Jonadab
about twenty years ago as a member OF
Hone Council. Much of the success OF Jona-
dabism in Washington Is due TO the per-
sonal efforts of Brother Mclean, and his
sudden death was a shock. and the reaiiza-
ton Of our loss in his death is an occasion
of much sorrow.

man told him to I'LL his arms with the
