NEW SCHEMES TO DEFRAUD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November H..
Schemes to defraud the farmer-and the
would-be farmer meaning the city man
who is attracted to the country by spe-
cious advertisements, are receiving the
attention of the department Of agricult-
ure and it is probable that Secretary
Wilson in his Forthcoming annual report
will sound note of warning to the over
credulous.
Vast tracts of almost pure sand left
after the cutting of the pine trees are
being advertised as farming lands of the
finest description; UNFRAMED swamps are
described as priceless possessions, and all
sorts of inducements are held out to at
tract purchasers Of these alleged worth
less lands. A favorite device is to set
many thousands of slips or cuttings of
fruit trees on common range land incap-
able of producing anything better than
sage brush, and another is to offer to the
unwary, seeds or bulbs of some remark
able hybrid plant that will produce thous-
ands Of dollars an acre.
The real character of these lands, agri-
cultural department officials state, might
easily be ascertained by inquiry of the
State authorities.

of the orchard will be much greater than
my estimate makes it appear but have
purposely placed it low
But the manure has to be diverted from
the field to be used in the orchard and the
fields are running out. What is the rem
edy! On my own farm at least one-half
the manure made is used in the orchards
and every tree gets something every
year. The fields are not only holding
their own, but are slowly and surely COM
ing back from run down condition.
Commercial fertilizers judiciously used
is the cause. This is the only remedy
for our brother. Either fertilizers for the
trees, which do not advise, or for the
the fields
The man who runs down his fields with
fertilizers Is poor farmer and usually
gets all the success he deserves.
II faith in the future of orcharding is
lacking, then the best way out is to root
up the young trees and devote the man
ure and land to growing COW feed and
charge the loss of the orchard investment
to education. But if faith is alive, then
stick to it and win.

more than living while doing it, and al
though the editor may not deem my sug-
gestions worthy of pay at space rates
| feel that word of encouragement from
one who believes in the farm and orchard
will not be out of place
Young man, it is true, there are mil
lions in orcharding" here in Maine.
Therefore, plant an orchard of two acres,
three acres, five acres or ten acres, ac-
cordng to your faith and energy, and
get your part of those millions. The
trouble is We want too much. We want
it all. Win your share and be content.
Lack of capital All an error. The man
who has faith, energy, ambition, deter

to succeed. But be honest with yourself,
your fellow man and the farm. Others
have won, so can you.

The National Grange.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. II. The Ma
tional Grange today went on record as
favoring improvements of the public
highways in preference to development Of
deep waterways. Members declared that
improvement of market roads is of far
more Importance than that of boulevards
for rich automobilists. The Grange also
voted in favor Of uniformity Of taxes
rather than classification. Resolutions
favoring the adoption of more practical
courses of study in colleges and High
schools were adopted. The members said
they would put agricultural and manual
labor in preference to Latin and Greek.
