49, says Lincoln Steffens in
Everybody's. when I asked him what
the matter was, late one night at his
home, he said casually:
Politically, the trouble can be sum-
med up in one phrase, misrepresenta-
tive government. Our government does
not represent the people,
And back of that?
"He looked sharp, but he answered.:
Back Of that is the fact that the
government does represent privilege. 1
don't mean, of course, such empty
privileges as we hear of in Europe:
Honors and titles. I mean that our
government is manned by the agents,
sometimes honest, often corrupt, of
businesses which have, or want to have.
what we call special privileges, which
really are just plain advantages over
other men and other businesses.

Then 1t must be remembered that
apples grown in the Northwest I'M
der conditions so different from those
back East do not look like the same
apples grown there. When Col. Brack-
EFT was at North Yakima a few years
ago he was unable to name apples in
some cases with which he had been
familiar all his life. He frankly con-
fessed that our irrigation and our
c'oudless skies put a tinge on some
apples and even a shape different from
what he had been accustomed to.
Then there are many new and
promising seedlings coming into no.
tice and as yet unnamed. No man
should be blamed because he cannot
name all apples presented to him.
While speaking of promising seed
lings l wish to say this Is a field
that should not be neglected. All our
apples were once seedlings. Now and
then one was found to be worth propa-
eating and was named and in due
time ~catalogued, if found worthy of
such honor. 1t is a good thing for all
fruit men to keep an eye open for new
and promising seedlings. The list of
good apples is by no e yet COM
plete. 1t is often said We need an ap-
pie with the quality of the Esopus
S~pitzenburg and the productiveness
and keeping quality of the Ben Da-
Wis. That apple has not yet been pro-
duced nor found, but may be in some
promising Seeding.
We have two promising seedlings
on our ranch. My sons have named
one of them "the Sweet Ben" and the
other "Walden's Sweet" The Sweet
Ben has been bearing three or four
years, is always full and very much
resembles the old Ben Davis. The
other one had not borne much till the
past summer. AS fall drew on they

cheeks with a yellow background. The

a trial.
1t may seem strange to some peo-
pie that an apple grower of consid-

should not be able to name almost
any apple. Well, | can't do it, and

later he was back hoeing in his gar

A ROD POLE.

An exchange gives the following
handy method of measuring land:
Take three pieces of board, 1x3 inches,
and make a letter A, having the dis
lance between the two boards at the
bottom of the letter 5h feet. In US
ing, simply turn the letter, keeping one
of it's feet on the ground all the time.
Three turns make a rod. If a field is
1870 turns long and GO turns wide 1t is
60 by 81 rods. There are 100 square
rods in an acre. The rest is easy
With this device a man can measure
land as fast as he can walk and do II
much more exactly than by pacing
it off.
