ries is the growing of pecans. The
climate and the land of Florida has
been proven by numerous tests to be
adapted to the growing Of pecans.
The reason, or one Of the reasons
why they are not more extensively
grown is that it requires from 8 to 9
years to produce fruit, or in other
words, the tree to come into bearing;
but what of that to the young or
rniddleaged man; the time is passing
anyway, and it is just as we'll to have
them coming on. The lands can be
utilized all this time growing other
crops, such as vegetables, any kind,
corn, peas, potatoes, hay, cotton, and
the tree is being benefited by the
fertilizing of the crop and plowing Of
the land
Alter 10 years you may gradually
plant each year further from the trees,
as the trees grow they will shade the
other crops, and sap the fertilizer to
such an extent that the annual crop
near or under the tree will not pay.
The tree will yield at 8 to 9 years old
an average Of II pounds or one-q quar-
ter bushel. Say you have ten acres
in pecans forty feet apart every way
that is the proper distance-you
would have twenty-five trees to one
acre, or 10 acres, 300 trees. Three
hundred times II pounds would
be $500 pouds Of nuts, at SC
per pound is $254, for the pick
ing up. They increase about double
the previous years crops for several
years, till they come to produce from
I to 3 bushels, or "A to about $50
pounds to the tree; quite a good sum.
Anyone can make his estimate from
this what his grove would be worth
IN twenty years.
A modest fortune for any man at
least to keep him from want. They
must be cultivated and fertilized
about as stated in the beginning Of
this letter for say 10 years, after that
a good blowing over every two years,
with some ashes, lime or bone broad
cast on the land, about 500 pounds
to the acre Or as much more as you
see fit to apply. You have the world
for market and they are not perish
able like other crops.
AS to the best method of planting:
my experience is, lay off your land
on one side, then with a tape line
set one row, trees 40 feet apart, the
whole length Of the grove you wish
to plant. then with a wire make a
loop, each Of the two ends being 40
feet long with crooks in the ends.
Place one hook around the first tree
planted and the other around the
second tree; stretch the wire and
plant in the loop, then move to the
next tree and SO on until the second
row is planted. Repeat until the en-
tire tract is planted and your orchard
will look like this:

v Associated Press,

Chicago. Ill.,, Oct. 2S.-Presenting of
evidence by the shippers who are op-
posing the proposed advance in freight
rates was concluded today before the
interstate commerce commission with
the testimony of Gov. w. r. Stubbs
of Kansas, who asserted his opposi-
tion to an increase in rates and his
belief as a practical builder Of rail
roads that valuations have been placed
at too high a point.
"l'll put up million dollar bond
the governor said, that ! can con-
struct main line railroad in Kansas,
an up-to-date line, too, for $500 a
mile and make ten per cent profit on
the job"
The lowest estimate of railroad
building offered by the railways more
than doubled the governors estimate.
Stubbs was the principal witness in.
troduced by the shippers.
Tomorrow the railroads will intro
duce testimony to justify some Of
the evidence and statistics already
presented in the case, and 1t is the
expectation that the hearing will be
completed with tomorrow's session.
In his occupancy of the witness
stand StuuDs repeatedly turned on the
railroad attorney with: Nov l want
to ask you a question"
At one point in the cross-examina-
tion by Attorney T. J. Norton of the
Santa Fe railroad, Stubbs said:
Nov let me tell you something.
There Is not as much risk in building
railroad in good territory as III
starting a bank. think the roads
need no preferential rights. They can
make money as they are, and they
should be run on the same basis as a
bank"
Norton asked the witness if he
knew of the washout which put the
Salt Lake road out of business for
hundred days. II just call attention
to it in connection with your COM
parison of the risk Of railroads and
banks" said Mr. Norton.
well. let me give you some infor-
nation right along that line about
banks, Stubbs interjected. II can
tell you story that will make your
hair stand up"

SOUTH DAKOTA
Divorce null

! Washington, D. c., Oct. 2S.-Divorce
DEGREES granted in South Dakota are
, not legal tender" in the District
of Columbia, according to a decision
today by Justice Stafford in the dis
trict supreme court.
The particular decree of divorce
which the justice declared invalid in
the national capital. was obtained by
Milton E. Davis, who in April, 1907,
went to South Dakota in December,
got his divorce and three weeks later
was married again. The former Mrs.
Davis-if she really is no longer a
legal wife-brought suit for absolute
divorce and alimony. The answer
made to the petitioa was that Davis
had already secured divorce.
ut is for public interest" Justice
Stafford says, in his opinion, that
divorces of this character should be
held good
He held that inasmuch as Davis had
deserted his wife and left the juris-
diction. it follows that the court of
South Dakota has no jurisdiction over
her and no right to bind her by its
decree"
Wherefore, he ordered Davis to pay
alimony and to make provision for
the support of the child by his former
marriage.

sioner Lane, the top of whose head is
smooth. said: Suppose you tell me
that story. governor" The story was
lost in the laugh which followed.
Don't you think, governor" was
another question, "thst the Santa Fe
road is entitled to the increased value
of it's properties in Kansas? You do
not deny to the Kansas farmer the in
crease in the value of his land"
YES" Stubbs quickly rejoined, ris.
ing from his chair and emphasizing
his words by pounding on the judges
bench, but that land is worth more
because of the honest labor of men,
women and children on every quarter
section of Kansas land, and the stock
values of the railroad holdings have
been juggled and inflated, and don't
know how much water there is In It,"
Stubbs repeatedly referred to the
position taken by President Ripley Of
the Santa Fe railroad that market
quotations of railroad stock was fair
criterion of the property values.
II think Ripley is mighty fine fe1-
low" the governor said, but I don't
agree with him on that point. l want
railroads to give to the commission
the actual cost of their roads, and /
want them to get fair return on.
their investment"
Later in the cross-examinatiOn,-
Stubbs again stood up and, punctuat-
ing his words with blows on the
bench beside him, said: "The railroads
ought to be allowed to make five or
six per cent on their actual invest
ment and also lay aside nice surplus
for emergency use. But they ought
not to invest this emergency surplus
from time to time in permanent i'm.
provements and then add it to the
capitalization. Every business man
ought to have a surplus for a rainy
day, and the railroads should too.
Il think that $25 100000 is not too
great an amount for the Santa Fe
as an emergency fund for bad year
or washout. But keep that fund
separate and don't capitalize 1t.
"Now, let me tell you, the people
will be pleased to pay the railroads.

ment if you will only stop your stock

pens-that the people of the United
States shall repudiate the administra-
tion of Mr.. Taft by such a crushing
and overwhelming defeat of his party
that it will be apparent that Mr.. Taft
cannot be reelected"
This was the statement made to.
night by United States Senator Elihu
Root in a speech at Manhattan Casino.
1t was his first speech since the Sara
toga convention, and it had been hint
ed that he would have something to
say about questions of the republican
party's national policy involved in the
New York state campaign.
Mr.. Root addressed himself particu-
larly to those republicans who might
stand willing to vote against the re-
publican gubernatorial candidate for
the sake of rebuking Roosevelt. and
he declared that republican defeat in
the state this fall would be even more
of blow to the present national ad.
than to Roosevelt. In
fact, he said, democratic victory in
New York would more likely turn the
next national convention away from a
administration which could
not hold its party together and toward
Roosevelt, or "to one of the far more
radical leaders who are now looming
up on the political horizon in the
north and middle west"

In his speeches here Mr.. Stimson

today that the officers of the Brook

the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, have been trying to line their
workmen up against him in their
mills at st. Regis Falls in Franklyn
county. Stimson said the fact that
he had, in 1906, convicted the Brook
lyn Cooperage company of receiving
secret rebates, for which it was fined
more than $4,000, might be the rea-
son that that company was opposed
to him.
