ENCOURAGING WILLOW CULTURE.

He government is right in tho midst Of the
- harvest of a most unique crop at its ex-
perimental farm near Arlington Just across the
Potomac from Washington, where corps Of
laborers in charge of trained foresters are pre-
pairing for the annual free distribution of 1oo,-
600 basket willow cuttings.
Uncle Sam is encouraging the growing of high
grade willow rods in this country and in the
five years since the establishment Of the holts
at Arlington Approximately half million select
cuttings have been distributed among farmers,
with directions for planting and preparing for
market Particular attention is given to select
ing the varieties and strains best suited to the
soil where the paintings will be made.
Willowcraft is an industry which is constant
ly growing in importance i'll this country, yet
the culture OF basket willow in the United
States made very little progress until FIVE or six
years ago. Even now, practically all of the best
grades of basket willow are imported from Eu-
rope chiefly from France European manufac-
turers compete keenly for the best products in
their countries and until recently only the infer
ior rods were sent to America where they have
been bought at three times the prices quoted for
similar stock few years ago. Experiments
have shown that the best grades of willow
be grown in this country at good profit, and
farmers arc turning their attention to its cul-
ture more and more each year.
This years harvest began early in March.
Four approved varieties are being sent out, and
for distribution. The management of the holts
and work of free distribution of cuttings is
charged TO the United States Forest Service.
Cuttings for experimental planting and nfor-
nation on management of the willow holts are
furnished those who make the request of the
Forester at Washington.
The government recognizes the Importance OF
good cuttings point more commonly over
looked than the matter of cultivation. Only the
best and most thrifty rods are selected for each
seasons distribution. To produce a desirable
grade of rods it is very important to select
planting stock not only from thoroughly tested
varieties, but the cuttings should be taken from
the tallest perfectly straight, cylindrical,
branchless and fully mature rods. High-grade
basket willows can be raised only by being sure
that the cuttings planted are from parent stock
above the average.
The policy Of the Forest Service is to increase
the number Of important basket willows and de-
terinine their value under different soil and ci-
matte conditions, and as the final tests of new
varieties are completed, those proved 10 be val
liable will be added to the distribution list.

A DEPLoRABLE INCIDENT.

I is evident that the election of the Rev. DIR.
\ A. w, Lightbourne from the Methodist
Episcopal Conference is not soon to be forgot
ten The deposej minister is to issue a state
ment at any early date, which may tell the rea-
why he did not make new application for
membership in the Conference in a manner so
that no one could question the regularity of his
standing. Perhaps he regarded the action of the
Conference of last year final and believed that
nothing more would come of the matter. Most
people thought that way.
In many respects this entire incident is de-
porabe. II has been made the basis for unwar-
ranted insinuations against the ministers who
have seen fit to permit the oisting of DIR. Light
bourne. Preachers are not in our opinion per-
feet, but neither do we believe that the Metho-
dist ministry in this Conference contains any
considerable number Of dishonorable men.
1t is we'll to remember that the Methodist
Church in this State is the largest religious body
and what concerns the church concerns the
people. The Lightbournc affair has stirred up
considerable i'll feeling and bad blood The hold
that DR.. Lightbounc has upon his friends is re-
markable There must be much of good in
him; he must have done conscientious work or
he could not have retained that rare devotion
which has taken the firm OF serious revolt of
Dover Methodsts against the constituted au-
thorities OF the church-at-largc.
The harm done to the church IS in the oppor-
tunity it gives scoffers to sneer at the church,
and more particularly at a church whose mem
bers arc supposed TO walk the chalk line Of
proper life.
While it may seem remarkable that man
with the attainments of Dr. I.ightbourne should
hnd himself suddenly ousted from the church
is it not also remarkable that so far as we have
observed not a voice was raised loudly in his de-
fense before the Conference during these pro-
ceedinqs?

did not do, but made the error of de-
Quoting z per cent for the expense

time amounts TO nearly 100000, thus
making the reserve fund short to that

DELAWARE IS REPUBLICAN.

Nov and then the story is rehearsed that
Y the Republican party gained the ascen-
dency in this State through wholesale corruption
OF voters. Naturally if this were the correct
view. we should believe that the majority Sc
cured in Delaware at the last election was due
TO such corruption, and that the Republicans
did not have real majority. There may have
been instances of the illegal use of money. Some
prosecutions have been brought by the Demo-
Gratis who now control the prosecuting machin-
cry of the State. One man has been convicted
and another acquitted by bench that would GER
tainly convict corruptors of the suffrage if the
evidence were sufficient.
But even assuming that all the men against
whom charges have been brought were guilty,
land this assumption is untrue-the ex-
tent of their illegal of money would
not have been wide enough TO warrant the asser-
ton that the last election was carried through
the corrupt use Of money and that the Repub-
licans did not have a majority of the voters of
the State.
