THE COMING OF THE FLEET.

The arrival in Hampton Roads on
or about February 90 Of the great
Il. ct CT batlleships which has cir
cumnavigated the globe will be an
event OF historical and spectacular
interest.
With the exception OF those who
were thrilled by the sight of the
fleets departure, from these waters
a little more than n year ago. when
the sixteen bulldogs OF the sea began
their journey forth and back over the
earth's water surface. no one in the
United States has witnessed so In
spring a spectacle.
Would 1t not be well for the local
commercial bodies to take advantage
Of this event to exert special efforts
to attract visitors on this occasion
Such a magnificent assemblage o!
warships only once before has been
witnessed on the Atlantic coast. and
then by a few, comparatively speak
ing.
There are thousands in the inter

'iican President.elect should come in
to his Kingdom and begin to dispense
patronage.
Secondly, that the President.elect
cherishes profound contempt for the
persons who supported Republican
pciicfes while yet proclaiminG them
selves Democrats.
II Is to Mr.. Taft's credit that he
frowns upon this attempt TO use his
name In the formulation OF clubs
composed OF erstwhile Democrats
with no higher motives than the in
ser,ion of their paws into the Fed
erai Office grab-bag.
Apparently Mr. Taft. like the rest
Of the people OF the country. re-
spects the voter who openly aligns
himself with either great party and
votes his convictions whether they
favor the one or the other. Further
more he seems to be in accord with
the popular sentiment that the citi'
zen who proclaims himself an adher.
ent to one party and votes with an
other is not to be trusted.
Everybody honors the man who con.
fights in the name OF.
and for the cause he believes just.
nobody respects the individual who
fights under one flag while proclaim
ing allegiance to another.

BROTHER CHARLIE.

Charles p. Taft seems to be de-
cidedly mediocre man Of fairly com
plete personal insiguiiicance and CT
an ambition both out OF proportion to
his attachments and superior to sx-
cessive sensitiveness. On his behalf.
the open vote in the Legislature Is
being stcutly opposed and a Repibf-
can caucus is insisted upon. The
sole possible objection to the open
ballot Is that 1t would let the pubic
know how each legislator voted. The
unacceptable inference is that leclsla-
;crs might object to having it known
that they voted for Charles Taft, and
that Charles Taft knows this. OPP
posed to Presideni-Elect Taft's climb.
ing brother is Theodore f. Burton,
who would be a genuine acquisition
TO the Senate. But no golden glamor
Of Federal spells to come lies be-
hind Mr.. Burton's candidacy. and it
Is quite likely that the dociie machine

The second good which has been
accomplished by theS Food ana Drugs
Act is the Judicial determination IN
many cases Of the principles 'nvov-
ed in the law itself. Judge Smith
Mcpherson Of III" United states Bls-
trict Court. Western District of Mis-
souri,. Kansas City. in decision
which he rendered on the Food and
Drugs Act. stated: This statute is
to project consumers. AID rot pro

Here we have the iuais:a st&taH.n.
showing the substantially of the ACT
and its bencficort purpose and the
purpose for which 1t should be en-
forced The consumer in all cases is
the rartv to Re- protected. bit in pro-
tccting the consumer the right OF inc
manufacturers are also protected.
THE third eccl whfrh has b'Hn
accomplished by the law is the i'm
prove mcnt In the Qvality OF the fool
! and drug supplies. This has been ap.
parent in both food and drugs. CoId
storage goods ar. no lonC.r sold. or
at least not so extensively as fresh
products. and greater care is eXerciS-
ed in the sanitary preparation oi
food which the people Of this country
are eating today are more wholesome.
and consequently more palatabie ana
more nutritious than ever before
The improvement in the Ctaiitv o.
drugs Is not less marked. A rigid in
, spectioa Of imported drugs keeps ou'
OF the country ali that are not up 10
the Pharme ccuticll standard. and The
care full con'rcl. although not com
plete. Of interstate commerce tends ia
produce the same effect on drugs
passing from state to state. The
making ard sale OF deleteriCuS pat

stricted. especially the production
OF habi, forming dsugs into pat

statement on the labels OF these pro

left to be desired in this direction

most encouraging. and the good which
| has been accomplished already is
pronounced.

pu,.ic has been strengthened respect

ency to kill the alfalfa.
Prof. Voorhees, said it is chick weed,
and is found in every section, and he
is unable to suggest remedy to get
clear of it.
AS to the frequency of lining, apply
it about every three years. Top dress
with fertilizer, but not with manure.
Use ground bone, acid phosphate, and
potash. The pant will get the nitro
gen from the air.
Quite little discussion ensued re-
garding lining land, as to the kind
and quality of lime and the quantity
to use.
From half ton to ton per acre
was the quantity suggested by Prof.
Voorhees,, in order to keep within safe
bounds.
Asher Waddington wanted to know
how late he could plant silo corn and
get crop.
Prof Voorhees, replied not later
than the first week in July. Plant an
early variety, like the Silver King.
A rising voteof thanks was given
Prof. Voorhees, for his excellent and
helpful address.
Miss Jessie L. Colson exhibited tests
she had made of seed corn. She had
two pans, one having been planted
about month, which she prepared
according to the directions given on
the subject by the lectures on the re-
cent agricultural train through South
Jersey, and as prescribed by the book.
In this pan the shoots were several
inches high, the grains being placed
on coarse sacking, and then covered
with sawdust and another coarse sack
ing, which was kept moist.
In the second pan the grains of corn
were placed in earth and a coarse
wire placed oyder the box. These had
been planted a week, and having been
forced by the heat, the shoots were
two and three inches high The shoots
showed very plainly the relative vital
ity of the grains. It apparently in
volved considerable work, and Miss
Colson said she had learned that the
simpler method was the better than
the one prescribed by the corn experts.
