GROWING EVERGREENS FROM

The growing of evergreens from
seed in North Dakota is indeed
delicate task and should not as
rule be undertaken by anyone ex-
cept an expert. In the first place
the seed that can be purchased
will not always grow, as great
care must be exercised in drying
the seed to prevent loss of vitality
of the seed germ. The prepara-
tion of the seed bed, the sowing of
the seed, and the care of young
seedlings will take more time than
most farmers can spare, especially
when the rate of growth of pine
Seeding is taken into consideration.
The growth of pine seedlings
under good conditions is only
from one to two inches the first

These figures have been gathered
by the American Medical Association
and can be considered fully reliable.
They do not call for comment, but
justify the Medical Society of the
State of Pennsylvania in resolving:
First. That it goes on record as
totally c6ndemniug a method of ex.
htbiting so-called patriotism, which
is so reckless of human life and
health.
Second. That it appeals to all ex-
istlng powers of legal restraint for
the suppression of this evil, amongst
which it recognizes state and muni-
cipsl authorities, including health
boards.
Third. That it appeals also to the
moral Serse of the people at large
and to the moral and professional
responsibilities of the Individual
practitioners OF the state.
Fourth. That it appeals TO TIE
public press of the state for its infiu,

NEWS FROM
WASHINGTON

The President and the Attorney
General have completed the draft oi
the proposed amendment TO the tor
in bill, imposing a tax OF two per
csn MT on the net earnings Of corpora.
sions. and have submitted IL to Sem
stor Aldrich, chairman Of she Fl.
unncs Committee. Some time was
spent by the COMMITTEES in consider
ing the draft, and the advisability Of
placing a minimum Limitation in the
bill, was discussed, SO that corpora
tions whose net earnings wore less
than the stipulated amount would
not be required to pay any tax. No
decision, however, was reached and
no such change will be made unless
it commends itself to the President
or his legal advisers. There is every in
dication that the tax on corporations
win he added to the tariff bill with.
out difficulty and without prolonged
debate and that it will receive the
almost unanimous support Of both
parties Mr.. Taft is greatly in earu-
est in his advocacy of this tax and Is
