The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-01-15

Quite an interest has recently been
awakened in certain quarters concern
ing what is known as the bud moth. ;"
What stirred up this interest was the
shipment of some 5000 boxes of apples
from Orcas Island, Washington, to San
Francisco, Cal. The apples were con-
demned by the fruit inspector at San
Francisco, the inspector claiming that
the fruit was infected with the bud
moth. The apples were sent back to
Washington and were unloaded at Sc
attic. Here they were condemned again
for the same reason, but were finally
sold to the Hull-Hamlett Co., and after
sorting and fumigating the fruit, most
of it was placed on the market.
That which stirred up the most feel
ing about this fruit was a statement
published in a California fruit jour
nal that "The bud moth is a pest that
originated in Japan and some months
ago made its appearance in British
Columbia. When the moth was de-
tected on this continent, a quarantine
was established against the British
Columbia fruit. 1t was not known that
the pest had reached this country until
last week, when it was discovered by
San Francisco officials in the Orcas
Island fruit" This seems to be a
tissue of misstatements. If the bud
moth referred to is the insect (Tmet-
ocera Ocelana) usually known under
that name, then it is not a recent

From these quotations from two of

the conclusion is invertable that sew
eral mistakes have been made in this
case. First, it is clear to my mind
that this pest is not spread in the
fruit and that the orchard infected
could not be known by examining the
fruit. 1t is perfectly clear to my mind
that the infection was that or some
other insect, for some larvae were
found in few of the apples sent back
to Seattle. These larvae must have
belonged to some other insect and not
to the bud moth. Secondly, British

Look at
the Roots

When you buy fruit trees you do
so as an investment. The earlier
they mature and begin to bear the
better.
A tree with a poor root system
hasn't half chance. 1t is as bad
off as a colt or a calf which was half
starved during it's first year.
We think we know how to grow
trees. That's been our business for
years. We have the location, the
soil, the climate and the moisture
that does the rest, and the result is
we deliver to our customers trees
with an unsurpassed root system,
clean and free from pest or dis
ease.
Cheaper trees? Yes, occasionally
you're offered certain trees at cent
or two less, but one good apple or
pear, or two peaches in the first
years bearing are worth two cents,
so why take the risk.
If our salesman fails to see you,
drop us a line. We have statesmen
everywhere and want more.

CONGRESSIONAL

The Mccall campaign publicity bill
was unanimously reported to the
house for passage by the committee
on the election of president, vice
president and representatives in con-
gress. Though introduced by Repub-
lican, the report had the undivided
support Of the minority members Of
the committee and of the National
Publicity association.
Although several hours we're con
sumed in roll calls, the day in the
house was one of comparative activ-
ity and several measures of impor-
lance we're put through. The princi-
pal of these perhaps was the resolu-
ton by Speaker Cannon providing for
an investigation of the paper trust
and, in pursuance of its provisions.
the speaker announced as the commit
tee of six who will conduct the in
vestigation, Messrs. Mann Ql), Mil
Ter (Kas.), Stafford (Wis) Bannon
(O), Sims (Tenn.) and Ryan IN. W.
The Democrats as a unit voted against
the resolution after the declaration
by Mr. Williams that he did not be-
lieve a sincere effort would be made
to arrive at the truth. Another meas
ure passed was one in which import
ers generally are interested and which
practically creates the board of gen
eral appraisers at New York, a trial

with his election to the Thirty-eighth
congress.
On occasions Senator Allison has
been very near to the nomination Of
his party for the. presidency, some be
lieve much nearer than Thomas b.
Reed, Roscoe Conkling, or even John
Sherman. He would have undoubtedly
made a good president. the equal Of
many and the superior of some, had
the fortune Of politics turned his way
During the progress of financial
legislation in the present congress he
has been often consulted and, as the
ranking member of the senate com
mittee on finance, has taken a quiet
and unostentatious but conservative
and helpful part in the framing OF
legislation which will relieve the coun-
try from the conditions which resulted
in the panic of 1907.
Senator Allison is the author of the
internal revenue law Of 1868. the es-
sential features of which are still in
force. Prior to its passage the tax on
distilled spirits was two dollars a gal
lon and the revenue therefrom about
$14, 10000, while during the first year
following the massage Of the. Allison
act the tax, while reduced to rs cents,
amounted, through the elimination Of
frauds and its proper collection, to
$50. 0OO.0 600.
He was chairman OF a special com
mittee which sPSlt the summer Of
1874 investigating the government
of the District OF Columbia The bill
drawn by him as a result of this work
repealed existing laws and created the
present form of government, with
three commissioners appointed by the
president
Early in 1877 bill was passed by
the house of representatives for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
There was great clamor for the enact
ment of the measure in the senate
The bill was referred to the senate
committee on finance and, being
aware that II the senate was called
upon TO divide on the question OF free
coinage It would follow the popular
agitation, Senator Allison proposed
the preservation Of the gold standard
but at the same time made provision
for a limited coinage Of silver on gov
ernment account.
Senator Allison has all his life been
a student Of tariff problems. He had
a considerable part in the framing Of
the Mckinley bill OF 1890. and served
on the subcommittee which prepared
the revision of 1897 He had charge
Of the minority report on the Wilson
bill in 1894, and Was also member
OF the subcommittee which consid
cred the Dingley act In 1897, also tax
ing charge Of the bin ON the senate

SENATOR FROM IOWA.
ALLISON CELEBRATES SEVENTY
NINTH BIRTHDAY.

Nomination for Presidency.

Washington.-Sena William Boyd
Allison of Iowa recently celebrated his
seventy-ninth birthday, and his col
leagues, both Republicans and Demo
Gratis, united in extending their con-
gratulations, for few members are
more popular than the aged Iowan.
Senator Allison has broken all pre-
vious records FOR length of service and
attained a maximum degree Of per
sonal influence and unusual DONNA
ton Of public affairs. He is the leader
of the senate OF the United States,
with all that this leadership means in
power and ability to create and con
troll legislation. IL is said, and prob
ably with truth, that there is more Of
Senator Allison's influence and char
acter written into the statute books
to-day than Of either President Roose
welt or Speaker Cannon, both of whom
are considered to have contributed an
unusual share to the lawmaking OF
the present generation.

attending Western Reserve college

Chicago, April 22.--Illinois took an
other shy at demon rum Tuesday in
various township elections, with the
result that about forty additional sa-
looms we're put out of business. 9th
eTwise the battle appears to be
drawn, for the gains and losses, as far
as districts are concerned, seem to
be about even. Jasper county went
into the totally dry column, Saint
Marie, with five saloons, the only wet
spot in the county, electing a board Of
trustees pledged to close them up.
On the other hand, Schuyler coun-
ty shifts from the dry to the wet
column. This is due to the fact that
Rushville, which for 20 years has
barred out saloons. this time voted for
license II will be the only town in
the county tolerating saloons.
Still Has 35 Dry Counties.
Net results show that the state still
has 80 counties absolutely dry. In
many localities the county is dry with
the exception of one or two spots. Olge
county made an extraordinary effort
to get into the dry column by wip-
ing out the saloons in Foreston and
Adeline. the sole wet spots in the
county. but the liquor interests won.
Adeline has one saloon. Foreston has
none at present, but one will be in
stalled Immediately.
In Logan county New Holland was
the only town voting on the license
question, and the drys won by a ma
iority of two votes. WinOna was the
only city in Marshall county voting,
and license was not an issue. In Ma
con county Maroa elected an anti-li-
cense board. The county is now en-
