Congressman Nye Of VI nne $ OF a
gave fifteen minute speech yester-
day in the house of representatives
which was interrupted by enthusiastic
applause.
The speech was defense of the
president and Of his policies, and il
closed with the prediction that history
is to write Roosevelt down as a man
who for clearness of conception, for
fidelity to duty, for courage of con
viction. for a wise comprehension of
public affairs and of his times, is
among the most illustrious and patri-
otto leaders our beloved country ever
has had"
Great Evil Search for Wealth
Mr.. Nye thinks that the great evil
of the day is the search after money,
Just ms it was the great cvil Of for
mer days. Leaders dre continually
arising who poipt the way TO higher
and better ideals, and who insist upon
moral regeneration Of individuals and
OF peoples.
Sometimes this leadership, in fact,
nearly always, is accompanied by dis
turbance of business con d i q II $.
Roosevelt is such leader. and he
would scourge the money changers
from their positions of influence be-
fore the people. Mr.. Nye likes the
Roosevelt doctrine that we all go up
or down together. He believes that
1t has not been stood for previously
by any American leader.

1t does not do to simply spade up

The only certain way Is to shave off
two or three inches of the surface and

the remaining soil. raking out all the
roots that you can find. After this is
done, leave the exposed soil to dry in
the sun for several weeks. being care
full not to allow any water to be
sprinkled on it, as 1t Is the water that
causes the buried roots to sprout

OYSTER SHELL BARK LOUISE.
1t 10 a Hard Pest to Fight, But Keep
at it-Destroys Shade Trees.

The oyster shell bark louise is a
hard customer. Last season two
neighbors called my attention to the
shade trees in front Of their resi-
eences. They were seven black ash
trees OF Is to 20 years growth. Three
trees were covered with the louise on
the trunk and out to the extreme end
Of the branches. Many Of the limbs
had died. and two trees had been cut
down two years previous having been
killed by the scale.
These trees, explains the writer in
Farm and Home, soon discovered,
needed radical treatment In order to
be saved In one season. 80 l decided
on one careful application. Making
a kerosene emulsion of one to seven
strength, arming myself with scrub
brushes. ladder and saw, started
to work as soon as the scales began
u lift, which was the first of June.
All limbs that were dead or quite sure
to die were sawed out to be burned,
and the remainder with the trunk.
were scrubbed with the emulsion until
all scales were rubbed OF.
The work was out or the ordinary
method for large trees. but had the
desired effect. They started at once
into new growth and now are in
very promising condition. The own
ers were well satisfied to pay for the
work. The kerosene emulsion was
made OF one gallon kerosene, two gal
hons boiling water and half pound
soap, then agitated while hot for ten
minutes with a foot pump. By adding
five gallons water had sufficient
mixture to go over the seven trees.

THE HAY CROP.
Some Suggestions for the Stacking
in the Field.

Now that We have an unusually
heavy crop of hay to secure, some
farmers will be obliged to stack some
of it. A foundation can be made of
rails or poles laid close enough to
hold the hay up from the ground and
allow the circulation of air under
ueath to prevent the hay al the bot
tom gathering moisture from the
ground and spelling.
Begin the stack at the bottom con-
siderably smaller than you intend to
have the body of the stack. Lay
the hay in the middle first and PACK
1t very firmly and work outward until
you get the size OF the bottom. Carry
II up little ways and then begin to
lay out a little at each course. Keep
the middle fullest and pressed down.
but do not walk close to the side
while laying the outer course. I
usually keep away from the edge
three or four feet
When you have enlarged the stack
as much as you intend to, says the
Orange Judd Farmer, carry 1t up even
ly on the outside until you have fully
twO-thirds of the hay In that you In
tend to put In that stack, and then
prepare to draw II in to top out. Keep
the middle fullest and well packed and
draw gradually until you have com.
pleted the top. Put cap Of marsh
hay on. and put on hangers. as good
hay Is too valuable to be wasted by
exposing il to the storms.
Keep in mind from the beginning.
that il you keep the middle of the
stack the fullest and well packed. and
the outer course looser, the hay will
droop on the outside and shed the
rains perfectly from top to bottom OF
stack. A man who has mechan.
ical turn of mind can make stack
that looks well and in which the hay
will keep as well as in the barn. Hay
for stacking needs to be perfectly
cured before 1t is hauled

Second Crop Strawberries.
BY o. B Whipple, Colorado Expert.
ment Station

While 1t Is not uncommon to pick
a light, second crop OF fruit from the
strawberry beds OF western Colorado,
the inquiries coming to this office sug-
gest that the proper handling of the
bed to secure this second crop is not
universally understood. 1t is rather
a novel experience to Iick fresh straw
berries from ones own patch In Sep
tember or October, yet there is moth
ing mysterious about 1t. and anyone
who has his soil conditions well under
control may pick two crops from his
bed each year.
The principle involved Is an old
one; simply artificially provide for a
resting period after the first crop Is
Off This may be done by withholding
water until the bed Is well dried up.
AS soon as the first pickings begin to
get light, shut off the water and leave
the bed until the tops are well
Drowned. Then NOW and rake the bed.
irrigate it thoroughly, and give it fre
quent cultivation and irrigation until
the second crop begins to ripen.
We would naturally expect that such
system Of caring for the bed would
shorten it's life, and no doubt it does.
but late crop of berries is often quite
profitable, and the average bed Is
grown too long anyway. 1t is often
advisable to cut the first crop little
short by Withholding the water and
thus increase the second crop. In
this way we get two light crops, and
although they may not exceed one
good crop from well grown bed, they
come on the market when the prices
are good. In western Colorado sec.
ond-crop berries often sell on the re-
tail markets at 20 cents per box.

desirous Of taking some action from a
humanitarian standpoint, II was de,
cided that by transfer of funds from

tion of the prison to the road fund,
the work could be continued for some
months.
Under the plan adopted for the con-
struction of the road. every item of
expense has been met out of the ap-
preparation of $4,000. The conclusion
has been reached that the prisoners
are no less the legitimate objects of
prison expense in the road camp than
they would be If confined in their cells
at Canon City. That Is, that they
should be maintained out OF the main
tenance fund of the prison. and not
out OF the road appropriation.
The road fund will no.: be REIN
bursed from the prison fund to the
extent of more than $4,000, and from
now on the prisoners will be kept by
Warden Cleghorn the same as though
they were under his direct supervision
This will give enough money to meet
the other expenses of constructing the
road for some time.
When the next Legislature meets,
efforts will be made to secure another
and larger appropriation for the
