The attention Of the New Jersey
experiment station was, in the spring
Of 1906. called to a serious disease of
apples, which bafiied many growers.
On examination of specimens sent to
the writer the disease was at once
recognized to be due to the same Or
ganism which causes the f1re-blight Of
the pear.
The writer visited orchards in the
vicinity Of Dover and Wyoming to
study the appearance of the disease.
At the time of the examination in late
May dead clusters of leaves. were
seen in all parts of the tree, and at
first glance gave the impression that
the trees had been touched by frost.
Judging from this appearance and the
fact that quite heavy frost had &C.
Cured few days previous, many
growers were convinced that their
trees were suffering from the effects
Of frost.
A close examination, however, re.
vealed the fact that it was not the tips

pies continued to develop and reached
a diameter of one-half to three-fourths
of an inch by the time the organisms
starting from another blossom of the
same bud had reached the spur. In
some cases the disease was thrown
off and the apples continued to de-
velop. In other (See plate Fig. 1 and

the spur, continued up the peduncle of
these partly grown apples. Some were
completely rotted at time of inspec.

reached part way up the peduncles.

germs of fire blight are. under proper
conditions, carried by bees and other
insects at blossoming time, and that
through this agency the blossoms may

COMING WEST.
Shoe Industry Gradually Leaving
Eastern Coast.

Massachusetts, and Connecticut are
generally thought of as the big shoe
manufacturing states, but, as the great
west has become more densely popu-
lated, these states are slowly losing
prestige.
Wisconsin, for instance, has the
largest manufacturer of full vamp
shoes in the world-The F. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co. of Milwaukee. The
market for this company's product is
the great west from the Mississippi
to the Pacific. Undoubtedly it is Mil.
waukee's nearness to this great west
market which is responsible for the
great growth of this concern which
has been in proportion to the growth
of the west. In the last Is years they
have outgrown six factories. Includ-
ing the new Seattle factory nearly
completed and the Milwaukee factory
annex built this last year the total
capacity of the Mayer Boot & Shoe
Company exceeds 5000 pairs per day,
which already has been inadequate to
meet the demand of the west.

The first bale" always comes about
this time each year, from about the
same section of Texas-a section, by
theway, which produces very small
part of the crop. 1t is in tropical
part of the state, about on line with
Cuba, where practically no winter
occurs and very early spring and
summer enable the planter to put the
first bale on the market so early. In
1904 two bales of cotton reached Gal
weston from Cameron county on June
16, a record unequaled in quarter
century.

The Honesty Of Presidents.

Grover Cleveland was reputed to be
very rich man when he left the
White House. Itwas charged by Pop
ulists and Bryanite orators that he
had accumulated a fortune of fully
$5,0O0,000 while in Office. That he
died comparatively poor effectively
refutes a SANDER as persistent as it
was malignant.
Personal integrity has ever been a
distinguished trait in presidents of the
Uuited States. There have been TWEEN
ty-six occupants Of the high post, but
against none of them has an accusa-
tion of dishonesty been preferred
which had more substantial basis
than wild rumor. The charges were
rung on Grants alleged connection
with the gold ring, but the evidence
as sifted by historians acquit him of
any completely in that attack on the
nations credit From Washington to
Roosevelt the line Of succession in
unswevering integrity remains unbrc-
ken.

PRESIDENTIAL AMBITIONS

State Commissioner of Education
Diapers for New York, in a recent
speech, said: 81 think we made a
mistake in telling every child (male
of course) that he may be president
of the United States," and the reason
he gave for it is that such a statement
instills notions that tend to make
children ashamed of the trade follow
ed by their fathers.
The New York World, commenting
on the statement, says;
"As a question of mathematical
fact, not one boy in five million can
be President. Not one girl in mil
lion may be Presidents wife. Not
more than one boy in five can earn a
living without using his hands as well
as his head.
"The average bricklayer makes
more net money, has more substan-
tial food, and is happier than the
average lawyer. The average car
penter has ten more years of self
support than the average doctor.
Many bank clerks make less than
motormen.
eff every boy refused to follow his
fathers occupation, provided his
father worked with his hands, Who
would farm? Who would put up
buildings? Who would make cloth
ing? Who would shovel coal in the
fire box; who would sit at the throttle
of the locomotive?
''The great error of the critics of
DR.. Draper is their assumption that
some forms of honest labor are ig-
noble and that children should be
taught to shun them and seek en-
ployment where they can keep their
finger nails manicured and wear
starched linen collars all day.
tThe noblest employments are
those which do the most necessary
work, and the employments which
rank lowest are those Of parasites.
"Tne community would be much
better off if there were no lawyers
and no occasion for them; were ey-
erybody to observe the laws of hy-
giene and discard doctors; were all
gambling stock brokers got rid, of.
"The man who digs hole in the
ground for sewer ora subway does
indispensable work. The man who
swings on a bridge derrick elevates
society and promotes economic prog
ress. Without the man who follows
the plow the so-called "cultural class''
would starve.n
The simple fact is that no Ameri-
can boy ever became the cheif mag
istrate of the nation who started out
with the nation who started out with
the notion that he could rise in the
world by avoiding honest labor. Lin
coin and Grant were poor men and
toiled at Rugged, manual labor long
before they ever became famous in
any way. Andrew johnson was a
toiler and worked at his trade in early
life, and he could not read and write
until after his marriage, when his
wife, who was fine woman, taught
him, and inspired him to the career
which made him president. Grover
Cleveland was poor boy, and so was
almost every one of the later presi-
dents.
What the country wants in ruler
is that he shall be a brave, honest and
intelligent man, filled with love for
his country and devotion to his duty.
