FRUIT JUDGING AT
OUR SHORT COURSE

What promises to be an interesting
as well as a novel feature of our COM
ing short course is the hour given
on Thursday morning by Prof Pad
dock to Fruit Judging"
The majority of our fruit growers
make it a point under normal condi-
tions to exhibit more or less at our
local county or state shows and in a
general way know what constitutes a
perfect specimen or plate of fruit, but
it is a well known fact that at all
our shows many of those plates which
to the casual observer present a fine
down by the Judge much to the dis
appointment of the exhibitors and II
will be interesting as well as profit
able to learn on what points the deci-
sion of an expert Judge is based.
Following this another hour is de-
voted to the woolly aphis which is
generally admitted to be one of our
most serious insect pests but which
Cdu dl ledSl uc larry well SOulIOiiSu
by proper treatment and probably nc
one in the west is better prepared to
give us practical advise on this sub
ject than Prof. c. P. Gillette.
The days program closes with one
of the live topics of the weeks course
namely, Fertilizers and Cover Crops,
which certainly is one of our coming
problems in this valley, and its solu-
ton lies perhaps as much in the in
telligent use of cover crops as in any
other one thing.
The enormous crops of fruit and
vegetables annually taken from our
land make 1t almost imperative that
some sort of fertilizing material be
turned back into the soil each year.
Now that the membership list has
/ been secured up to the point demand
ed by the college 600 names) the COM
mittee in charge have advanced their
stakes to the $50 mark and confiden-
TALLY expect to reach this number be-
fore the close Of the meeting and as
it will probably take about this num-
be to make the course success fnan-
cially 1t is hoped that everyone at all
interested will respond by sending In
their name to some member of the
committee before the opening day.

RAILROAD COMPANY BUYS TIES
FROM HAWAII AND JAPAN

A striking instance of the scarcity
of timber suitable for railroad ties in
the United tSates is seen in the recent
purchase of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railway company of $780,
900 ties of ohia wood from lumber
company operating in the Hawaiian
islands. 1t has been difficult for some
time for the railroads of this coun-
try to obtain wooden ties satisfactory
both in quantity and quality, and many
of them have been looking about for
an opportunity to purchase tie timber
in other countries.
During recent trip of this kind
by a representative of the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway company,
arrangements were made for the pur-
chase of ties, not only in the Hawai-
ian islands, but also in Japan. 1t is
stated that ties from Japan will be
made from certain species of oak
which compares in lasting qualities
very favorably with the white oak of
this country which has been consider
ed the most satisfactory wood for tie
purposes. About a year ago, before
the representative of the railroad had
started on his trip, the United States
Forest service made few tests on the
ohia wood. The results indicated that
in point of strength. ohia wood will
rank with the oaks. 1t was thought
from these tests that the wood was
worthy of further investigation, and
the large order placed by the railroad
indicates that their agent is confident
that Hawaiian wood will prove to be
a satisfactory material for railroad
ties under the conditions existing in
this country.

BUSINESS WAS SMALL
COMPARED WITH 1906

Although the report of Secretary
George H. Sale of the Fremont Coun-
ty Fruit Growers association for the
calendar year just closed shows its
business to have been small when
compared with the previous twelve
months, there is in it much for en-
couragement.
In view of the failure of the apple
crop in the Canon City district in 1907,
the report is an excellent one and
shows that the association was an ac-
tive agency in the marketing of such
,orchardist and gardener had to sell.
Mr.. Salie's report shows that the
association handled during the season
5,2S2 crates of tomatoes, 13, 552 crates
of apples, chiefly of summer varieties,
1908 crates of strawberries, LAG
crates of currants and 126 crates of
raspberries. OF pie plant, 1906
pounds were shipped, 1888 pounds of
asparagus, 2,704 pounds of peas and
4,344 pounds of beans. OF green corn
2,572 dozen ears passed through the
hands of the association, 562 dozen
cucumbers and 429 dozen mangoes. A
summary of the business for the sea-
son shows that a total of AS car
loads, in and out, was handled by the
association of which 81 were apples,
tomatoes, 3 green fruits, 2 vegeta-
bles, berry boxes, s grain and /
arsenate of lead.
The financial statement shows that
the total assets of the association, in
cluding real estate and improvements,
machinery, fixtures. ETC., is $16,S42.6S.
The liabilities are of an equal amount.
The total amount of business done
during 1907 was $32,3s5.1S, which was
transacted at an expense of $2.678.16.
The net profits for the year were
$62.46.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF
AN RX.PRESIDENT

1t is most gratifying to note how
the private lives OF our ex-presidents
are made grateful and bright by the
generous attachment and spontaneous
kindness manifested toward them by
their fellow countrymen.
The American people are the best
people in the world: and the honor
and respect with which they follow
to his retirement one who has served
them in the highest Office within their
gift, illustrates the innate nobility Of
the American character. In the light
of these reflections, the biographer of
one OF our early presidents seems to
have unfortunately yielded to the
temptation OF striking statement
when he wrote concerning the subject
of his sketch, that at the expiration OF
his term as president, he found him
self that melancholy product of the
American governmental system-an
ex-president."
How can 1t be that our govern
mental system" places the president
on the highest pinnacle OF honor, and
yet DEGREES that as ex-president he Is
but melancholy product" doomed
to unescapably sad conditions? Is
there neither comfort nor honor in his
release from exhausting presidential
labor and perplexity. In the respect
and esteem accorded him by his fell
low citizens on every side, and the
neighborly welcome that greets him
on his return to the fellowship OF pri-
vate station?
The truth is, that our people. SO far
from treating their ex-presidents sim
ply as relics OF past honors, seem dis
posed not only to bestow upon them
honor and respect, but to continue
them in service SO far as to interfere
seriously with their untrammeled re-
turn to private citizenship and their
unrestrained resumption OF the occu-
pations of everyday life.
