GET READY TO SPRAY.
Now Is the Time to Prepare for the
Fruiting Season.

Every person that has an orchard
should make preparations in the win
ter to spray that orchard, for by
spraying alone can the orchards be
protected from insect and fungous
pests. The men that still refuse to
credit the value of spraying have
nothing but their own observations
behind them, while in favor of spray
ing is world of experience by the
best and most successful orchardists
in the country. Can the opponents
of spraying point to single large
orchardist that does not spray his
trees? We believe not.
Spraying the trees protects them
and their fruit not only against many
insects, but also protects them
against a large number of fungi,
many of them so minute that they are
not observed until they have obtained
firm hold of the trees. In case
the San Jose scale is present 1t is
necessary to do the work of spraying
in the winter while the trees are dor
mant Any man that buys spray
ing outfit will receive with that out
fit full directions for using all kinds
of sprays and when to use them.
The man that delays very long now
is not likely to do any spraying this
season. A man might as well not
spray at all If he does not do 1t in
time, and frequently the time during
which the spraying should be done
to combat a certain pest is very linn
tied.

PEACH GROWERS TROUBLES
Best Crop Ever, Yet They wm Lose
 Money.

Although the peach crop in Georgia, the banner state, Is better this year than ever and the largest crop ever marketed Is being sent north the grow, CTS, according 10 J. II. Hale, the South Glastonbury peach authority, are poor CT than a year ago. On more than half the 1000 carloads sent north, he says, there has not been enough money made to pay the expenses, while the other two thousand will represent a profit of about s200,000. Thus far about half the crop has been harvested
 Mir, Hale outlined some of the trou- bles of the situation. He says there Is no central head to manage the jistri- button. The indsposition of some peo- pie to buy in these times had little to do with the poor results, but the chief difficulty lies in the way goods are sent north. The peaches are ship ped by each grower without consulta- ton with the others. It follows that one city may be short and another may be overstocked. Yesterday morning New York had 100 cars awaiting pur- chasers and the peaches were selling for less than 1t cost to lay them down on the dock
 Mir. Hale said that one day recently he made study of the peach ship ments and he found that there were 100 cities of not less than 10000 popu- lation each, to which no car-lot ship ments had been made, although these same cities had altogether more than 100000 inhabitants, He figured out that by proper distribution s1000,00O more could have been secured for the fruit and at the same time millions more of people would have been ac- commodated. It might cost s50,O00 to slOO,00O to arrange bureau that would manage shipments, but that woull leave big part of the sl,OOO,0OO for the growers, who now suffer so from their indiscriminate forwardngs.

LAPS NOT PIQUED
Not the Slightest Feeling Toward America, Says
 Our Ambassador.
o'BRIEN REACHES FRISCO
Says Rebates in Manchuria Arc Given 10 Biggest Shippers, Regardless
 of Nationality.

San Francisco, July H.-Thomas O'Brien, the American ambassador to Japan, arrived here today from Tokio on the Pacific Mail liner Korea Am bassador O'Brien, who was formerly United States minister to Copenhagen. Is on a leave of absence to attend to some business matters in Europe. He will leave for the east Thursday
 In an interview with representative of the Associated Press Ambassador O'Brlen said that any suspicion that might be harbored in this country in regard to Japanese sincerity in main- talning peace with the United States and in its expressions of amity and good will was without any cause or ground to justify 1t.
 q have been in Japan less than a year." said MT. O'Brien, Out in that time I have never seen the slightest sign of ill-feeling toward America or Americans. It is absurd to think that Japan wants war with this country. l the arrival of the American fleet. It Is looked forward to with much pleas- uere and interest, and great rrepara- tions are being made to entertain the officers and men and the entire Japan ese navy will be mobiized at the time of the annual review"
 Touching upon the complaint made that American merchants were being discriminated against in Manchuria in the matter of rates on the Manchurian railway which is controlled by the Japanese, Ambassador O'Brien said:
 That the Japanese, controlling the Manchurian railway are favorlng their own countrymen by giving rebates is probably true, just as 1t Is true that rebatlng was practiced in this coun- try. I do not think, however, that Americans are being discrminated against because they are Americans, but rather that the biggest shippers which are the Japanese, set lower rates"
 Ambassador O'Brien will sail from New York for Brussels where he will meet Mrs. OBrien and after attending to some business affairs will return to Tokio via St, Petersburg and the si- berian railroad arriving at Tokio the first week in October, just a few days before the arrival of the American 1 fleet.
 London, July 15.-The Right Rev William Awdry, Anglican bishop of South Tokio, in long letter to the Times, this morning repudiates the idea that the Japanese have any aggressive l intentions towards the United States ol lsewhere, He says that he should not have given this question a moments thought, but that the governor of the Bank of England, who he personally met, was seriously anxious and full o1 questions on the subject
 Bishop Awdry declares his conviction that the Japanese sincerely hope tha the United States will keep a tight holt on the Philippines for many years tc come. The financial situation he say, does not tend to lead Japan to desire fresh burdens and responsibilities.
