The New York Evening Post says:
"No intelligent survey of The nation s
defenses against Organism can blink
the truth that they have been greatly
weakened during the past four years.
1t is not possible today to rally the
conservative forces of the country in
opposition to Bryan so splendidly as
in 1896. Everybody knows the reason
why. You can not revile man whom
you have initiated. A party that has
appropriated Bryan's ideas can not,
with good effect, attack his person. At
the very beginning of the republican
campaign, it is the part whether of
frankHess or sound generalship to adj
nit that power of resistance to Bryan
has beeh much broken by four years
of yielding to him. President Roose-
yeIt's avowed and deliberate purpose
has been to head off Bryan by stealing
his issues. The argument, or threat,
which he has constatly used has been:
of you do not go half way with me,
you will have to go the whole way
with Bryan Well, we see now what
comes of the plan of fighting danger
GUS enemy by surrendering to him.
The Bryan who was to be extipguish-
ed is exalted higher than ever

IrriaatIon n California

Mr.. Geo. M. Busey who with his
family moved to Riverside, California
last spring writes entertaining letters
to his friends here of the country the
climate and the meth dds Of irrigation
and cultivation of the soil He is en-
gagged in orange raising and writes as
follows on the subject
| have during most of the present
week been spending my time in the
orange grove. This is new kind of
farming to me and is exceedingly in
teresting. The part that has been UNI
der attention during the past week has
been irrigating, something which
would be of great interest to any East
ern man unaccustomed to the condi-
tions here. 1t Is necessary to furnish
ell water that is repaired by the trees
during the dry season, from April to
November, in order to do this a very
careful management of the water sup
ply is required. Burrows are run, about
four between rows in the orchard, ard
the water is allowed to run in them not
less than three days or four at the
longest, at the end of which time the
ground is thoroughly saturated and
any fertilizer that has been applied
previous 20 the irrigation is dissolved
and carried to the roots of the trees.
This makes it possible for the grower
to apply almost anything that is of
value for the growth of the tree and
fruit, and get it Immediately within
the reach of the tree. The orange
groves here look very much like cur
well grown modern commercial APP
pie orchards at home. The trees in the
orange section here will average about
as the apple trees in the apple section
at home, but they are planted only
about one-half as far apart, and every
inch of the ground is cultivated at least
three times between irrigations, a
period of not less than forty-five days.
This keeps the ground of the grove
lust like garden all the while, and it
is a pleasure to see how the trees grow
and seem to show the effect of careful
attention.
We are having what | would call in
tensely hot weather at present, but if
il were as hot in Martinsburg today as
ii is here in Riverside, we would ex-
pect great deal of suffering in conse-
quence of heat. The thermometer here
during the past week at the hottest
time of the day has been as high as
1902. The people here, Though, seem not
10 regard this as intensely hot weather
and give us the encouraging report
that we may expect it hotter later cn.
We are all of us, however, enjoying
the continued sunshine of Riverside,
and with delightfully."- cool nights are
ready to stand almost anything dur
g the day.
Yours very truly,
Geo. NJ. Busey,
