The State Experiment Station has
recently begun issuing a new series of
bulletins for free distribution within
the state. These are called Popular
Bulletins. - They consist of short,
condensed discussions of the most up
to-date knowledge concerning different
phazes of farm work and farm life
The results of experiments on the Sta
ton farm and on the several cooper
ative farms at different localities, as
we'll as observations taken from the
most successful farms, orchards, gar
dens, ETC., which can be found in the
State, are reported in these bulletins,
in brief, bright, easily readable form.
They are intended for the busy farmer
who wants to learn the most recent
conclusions as to the actual problems
of the farm, without having to read
over a large mass Of experimental data
or observations from which this infor-
nation was derived. Every farmer in
the state might read these bulletins
with pleasure and profit. The following
bulletins of the series have already
been issued: No. l, Announce

Certain pears in the South may be

Killing the Borer5.

Killing the Borer5.
How may / protect the trunks of
my trees from 'borers? have some
young trees that are being annoyed in
this way. CIV.
Wrap building paper about the
stems as soon as they are planted. ana
tie it on with strings. Other things
are often recommended. such as axle
grease, tar, and resin, but these usu-
ally injure the trees, more or less. "
Corn as Windbreak.
Is it good policy to plant corn
among young trees as a windbreak
How should peach, apple, and cherry
trees be headed?"-W. R.R.
1T is not a bad policy to use corn
as a windwbreak for young trees, pro-
viding the corn is not set too close to
the trees. The corn should not be al
lowed to interfere with the trees. At
the Station, we head peach trees at
one year of age, down to eighteen in
ches. This insures the best trees for
spraying, fruit picking and general
care. We head apple trees at one year
of age to twenty-five inches, if they
are round topped trees. such as the
Jonathan, Gano. and similar trees. If
they are upright growers, such as the
Rome beauty. head them at thirty in
ches. Cherries are headed much the
same as apples. The sweet sorts should
be Systematically pruned for the first
three to five years, after which they
will require very little pruning.
Planting the Orchard.
is it better to have an orchard set
out with every other row of trees
different in variety? Should nursery
trees be planted the same depth as
they grew before being taken up? How
should young trees be topped?"-J.D.
M.
ct is not necessary or even adyis-
able that trees be planted with the va
rieties alternating by rows. If they
are set out in small sections of the
same kind, harvesting, spraying, and
care will be more easily accomplished.
We would not advise the use of more
than six rows, since after the filters
are taken out, you will have a large
number Of the same variety. which
might interfere somewhat with polli
/ nization of the blossoms.
The nursery trees should be plant
ed from one to two inches deeper than
they grew in the nursery rows In
planting in loose soil, we find that the
earth settles from one to two inches
around the trees, hence. in the end
the trees will be just as deeply planted
as they grew befor being taken up.
1.-THE Station is convinced that low
heading is the only thing for Washing
ton, except, of course, in cases where
three or four feet of snow covers the
ground, when the heading should be
done little higher. In treating q
young orchard recently, we used an 49,
inch lath for measuring, and cut al
the trees off just above the bud that
came nearest to the end of the ath.
Three or four feet was taken from some
Of the trees, which seemed to be q
hard task. Now these same trees are
beginning to show a very nice top.

The application of Herbert Abbey
sets forth that he is the owner of u
acres in the NE. / of Sec. 5-17-45,
that the said property is assessed as
being inside the City Limits of Gar
field, and that the same lies outside
the City Limits, and asks that the

taxes on that amount be cancelled.
Granted.
The application of j. J. Kneale for
the Wilcox-P ercheon Horse Company
sets forth that horse owned by the
said Company was assessed far in ex-
cess of his value and asks that a por-
ton Of the taxes paid on him be re-
funded. The application was granted
to the extent of $500.

To Make Straight Rows.

"What is the easiest method of
planting an orchard and getting the
rows straight?"-J.D.M.
"Take wire the full length of the
proposed rows. and solder small marks
on the wire the distance apart that
you wish to plant your trees. In case
your trees are to be thirty-three feet
apart in alternate rows, these marks
should be fastened to your wire sixteen
and half feet apart, and for the per-
mannt trees. you will use every other
mark, and for the filters, use the other
marks, as the wire moves across the
field. Be sure that your wire is heavy
enough that it will not break, yet can
be handled easily. In planting, be
sure that the earth is tramped solidly
around the Trees

his own friends. who had refused to fol-
low him into the Parker camp. were cool
toward him But he was soon himself
again. and is master of the situation to-
day Is it safe to fix limit to the re-
Operative powers of such a man?
The second proposition is that Gov.
johnson shall strengthen himself during
the coming four years. But how is he
to do that He has about exhausted the
local field and where will be the chance
for him in the national field Minnesota
is republican on national issues. and
likely to remain SO. Congress seems
closed to him. So that. failing of recog-
milton this year Gov. Johnson. instead Of
Mr.. Bryan. may pass off the scene and
be without influence in 1912. He has none
of Mr.. Bryan's eloquence and versatility
to please the people between elections and
keep himself fresh in their minds.
AS a national quantity Gov. Johnson is
a dollhouse growth. He has attained his
size rapidly. and by what may be called
unnatural processes He would probably
not be under consideration today for the
presidency if New York or New Jersey
had lad man large enough to capture
the fancy of the anti-Bryanites. 1t was
the poverty of the east in presidential
material that turned attention to the
northwest. where one solitary democratic
leader stood.
But who may with safety predict that
this leader will be as prominent. if prom
inent at all. four years hence as now?
Mr. Bryan may still be on hand to over
shadow him. or the east meanwhile may
have developed a man of its own equal
to its own uses.

The Enormous Crops.

Here is an anti-panlc bulletin from To-
peka
Free Employment Agent Gerow today
called for Il 800 men and 1915 teams to
help with the Kansas wheat harvest IL
is thought that the harvest Will begin on
the southern edge OF the state about
June ~ to IL. depending on the weather.
The central Kansas harvest will be be
tween the 18th and 2oth. and the northern
harvest will begin about July l. There
IS an unusual demand for teams this
year. and farmers will pay 81 or s. day
tor man and team.
Annually of late something like this has
appeared. Harvest time shows Kansas
swamped with prosperity and calling al
most piteously for help. Field hands by
the thousands are imported from a dis
lance and even college boys are tempted
to take a little sunburn at fancy figure
per day The barns are too few in num-
Der and all too small in size. Nature
has smiled until the farmer frowns.
And what is true of Kansas is true of
many other states. The fields are rich
beyond calculation. Everywhere is the
promise of wealth in quantities, awaiting
the gathering and the slowing away.
1t seems far cry to the erasshopper
days and the days of the mortgages.
when the western farmers groaned under
want and adversely, and at last decided
that the government was responsible, and
that the thing to do was to set farmers
TO making laws. Field pests were to be
extermnated and mortgages lifted by
statute. Prices for farm products were
to be fixed by political caucus. and pub
lie money was to be lent on fat cattle
and the like.
The populists failed as respects legis-
lation. Their financial views were re-
jected by Congress. and the tariff was
not revised according to their prescrip-
ton. But they made SO pronounced an
impression on the times that one of the
great parties co-operated with them in
lS9, in a successful national campa ign,
and the man who for twelve years past
has led that party is accounted today as
more populst than democrat
With all this uncountable wealth in
sight, is it not strange to hear talk about
panic and hard times? Is not the alb
greatest of mysteries? With fields bare
and barns empty, and mortgages covering
the earth, the croaker has his theme pat
to tongue or pen. But with abundance.
mountain-hi showing in every direc-
ton is not the problem merely one of
distribution? If the farmer is rich, who
should be poor?
Still. many men are idle. and the rail-
roads are complaining. and when the
presidential campaign opens we are 60
ing to hear some new and interesting
variations on the topic of calamity.

The Trusts and the Law.

The Hartford Times takes a peep into
the future:
I'm the end, We prophesy the American
people with their eyes open. VIII sweep
the Sherman antitrust law off the statute
books and all its advocates and eNecu-
tors out Of power. They will do tins pc
cause not % do il means paralysis OF
all the business of the country and an END
To all prosperity.
To what party does the Times look for
this service? The republican party. whle h
enacted the law. shows no desire 10 re-
peal il. and we may he sure the Chicago
convention will not pronounce in favor OF
repeal.
Nor will the Denver convention advo-
cate repeal. Whether the democratic can
ddate is Mr.. Bryan or another, he mus
stand upon the partys record as respects
tn. trusts and that record is not friendly.
The regulation OF trusts is the only issue
upon which democrats are agreed.
And as for Mr. Hearst's party. inspired
as il is by him and he inspired by his
observations in New York. lenity toward
twists is about the last thing to be eN-
pettei OF il. The independence party is
nothing i. not antitrust One OF the
strongest planks in its platform will deal
with that question.
The Times should have predicted d mod
itication OF the Sherman law. That is
likely That would probably serve good
purpose Eighteen years have gene by
since the law was passed, and in that
time many changes have taken place in
business methods. Evils which called the
law into being have multiplied. and some
have taken new forms. This in itself
SLOWS that the law has not met the eX-
peetatIon OF rs friends. redressei the
grievances OF the country. The law should
be brought up 10 date. 1t should be made
IL carry features applying TO the condi-
tons which Low exist. How different these
conditions are from those of 1890 it would
require d good deal of space to describe.
But the trusts remain menace-are a
greater n7erace than ever. The country is
more convinced than ever of the necessity
of government regulation Of the trust
power The Sherman law is grounded in
public necessity, and needs only ad
justment 10 the latest business develop
law off the statute books To give the
trusts full swing would play directly into
tie hands OF the socialists.
The Sixty-trst Congress should deal
with the subject. 1t might have been we'll
had action of some kind been taken at
the session now closing. But the bulk of
the business presented was large, and
there was not time for everything that
pressed for attention.

WILLIAM And JOHN.

From the Topeka State Journal
The talk about Gov. johnson and Mr.
BRYAN not agreeing on anything is purely
idle Gov johnson looks upon his defeat
in Alabama as victory. Mr.. Bryan
regards it in exactly the same light.
From the Syracuse Herald.
GOV Johnson says that what the dem
ocratic party wants Is a winner" That
NAV have been what 1t wanted once. but
now 1t looks as though thiS healthy ambi-
ton had been supplanted by an inordi-
nate appetite for Nebraska oratory.
From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Gov. Johnson Of Minnesota declares tina,
he was happily disappointed' by the re-
suit of the Alabama primary. Mr.. Bryan
being absolutely content with the votes
it appears that the Alabama democrats
have achieved the seemingly impossible
task of pleasing both sides.
From the Toledo Blade.
When told that he is not big enough
for President Gov. johnson must fee
like coming back and asking how many
gubernatorial chairs Mr.. Bryan ever
sat in.

Bryan and Pennsylvania.

Mr. Bryan in his newspaper condemns
the conduct of his democratic opponents
in Pennsylvania He believes the people
there are with him. and would have in
structed for him at the state convention
but for the Vaccinations of the bosses.
He IS probably right. But let him be
patient. Every fellow has his day This
is Col Guffey,s day His day Will come
at Denver. and later, and then he can
choose his own style of revenge. How
Mr.. Bryan will handle his enemies should
he reach the White House is a question.
He is not appraised as hater. or d cruel
man, but there is reason to believe him
capable of everyday resentment. and that
he keeps hooks He knows who are for
him. and ne does not love those who are
against him.
