REV. C. c. MARSHALL
Pastor Baptist Church.

Rev. G. c. Marshall. NJ. A., Phi D.,
pastor of the Baptist Church. was born
in Terre Haute, Ind, and obtained his
early education in the schools of his
native city. He later taught school
for time, and attended normal school
for the purpose of making teaching
his profession, but subsequently,
changing his mind, took courses IN the
De PAW University, Ewing College,
the law department of the University
of Louisville and the Southern Bap-
fist Theological Seminary of Louis
vile. Ky. For two years he practiced
law at Franklin, Johnson county. In
diana, and later became a Baptist
minister.
Rev. Mr. Marshall is well known as
a literary man, writer and author,
having contributed numerous papers
and articles to newspapers and maya
zines. and is the author of three
books, viz: "Sundry Discussions for
Preventive Church Discipline" and
Fun on the Farm in Old Kentucky
He is greatly interested in the pres
ent welfare and future of the news
boy. and this season on his Orchard
view arm, near Lebanon junction.
KY, has had more than one hundred
newsboys out for a weeks vacation
and recreation, at absolutely no cost
to them. This work of reaching out
for the little newsboys of the streets,
in showing them the green trees and
the picturesque beauty of Gods coun-
try lands: in showing them that some
body cares for them and is interested
in them, and, above all. in using ma
ture, pure air and bright sunshine to
aid in bringing out the better qualities
within them, is good work and cannot
be too highly commended, and as all
expenses are paid solely from the sale
of his books, it reflects great credit
upon the human nature of Rev. Mar
shall, who is ably assisted by his wife.
Rev. and Mrs. Marshall have two sons.

RICHMOND WATER AND LIGHT
COMPANY.

Two of the greatest public utilities,
water and gas, are supplied to Rich
mond by the Richmond Water and
Light Company, whose equipment and
service are eminently satisfactory. A
double pressure direct system is used
by this company, an advantage which
none of our neighboring cities pos
sess. The supply is furnished from
two artificial lakes covering about sew
enty-five acres. These lakes were re-
Gently deepened and their capacity in
creased to one hundred and fifty mil
lion gallons.
In 1909 the second lake was added,
at a cost of nearly forty-five thousand
dollars. The water is pure and whole
some. By this enlargement it has
placed Richmond in position to sup
ply water to any number of manufac-
turing industries which should locate
in our midst. From these lakes two
large Worthington engines force the
water into standpipe 1875 feet high
by Is feet in diameter, with a capacity
OF 100000 gallons, from which it is fed
into the mains and distributed through
out the city. These mains, or pipes,
are of the very best material and Of
better quality than those generally
used in cities twice the size of Rich
mond. Service pipes are installed in
all the principal business and resi-
dence districts, to which extensions
are continually being made as neces-
sity demands them
Noticeable among the latest addi-
tons are two thousand feet of six-inch
main to the Normal School, two thou
sand feet to the Burnam addition, two
thousand feet to Big Hill pike, and
one thousand feet to the Moberley adj
dition. These additions have greatly
enhanced the value of property in the
neighborhoods of these places, as it
gives water to residents and protection
in case of fire.
By having the double pressure sys-
TEN, our loss from fire has been al
most one-half less than in other cities
where only single pressure is used.

pany will in the future, as they have
in the past, spare no expense to secure
good and economic service or to eX-
tend their pipes to any part of the
city where water is necessary for resi-
dences or manufacturing establish
ments. For the latter they stand ready
and willing at all times to offer any
reasonable inducements to cause them
to locate here. The price charged for
water by this company is exceedingly
reasonable, and lower than other
cities not located on rivers. Charges
are made on a fiat rate for domestic
purposes. but all manufacturing plants
and railroads have meters.
The gas plant is the most thor
oughly equipped in Kentucky in any
city of the same class as Richmond.
This fact is supported by the testimo-
ny of Mr.. F. H. Shelton, an expert
from Philadelphia, Pa, in a report
made to the company after thorough
inspection of it. A successful effort
was made some years ago by reduction
in prices to greatly increase the guam
tity of gas consumed. and there is no
reason why it should not be doubled
in the next three years. Aside from
lIS uses IN Illuminating, the cOSI OIL
gas is scarcely above that of other
fuels. while the convenience, cleanli-
ness and other advantages to be en-
joyed are sufficient to recommend its
adoption to all housekeepers. Over
three hundred and twenty-five houses
in Richmond cook by gas.
In the salesroom is carried a COM
plete stock of gas stoves, fixtures and
appliances to be supplied to gas con-
sumers at the wholesale prices. The
officers of the company are J. A. Sui
livan, President; R. E. Turley, Secre-
tary; A. w. Merrill, Treasurer; B. R.
Dougherty, Superintendent, and Miss
Mary E. Sullivan, bookkeeper, all of
whom have labored early and late to
build up the systems, and their sue
cessful endeavors merit the esteem
and liberal support of the entire COM
munity.

When a man or woman be-
comes perfect in their work,
and makes no errors or mis-

mot on earth.
In a big Industrial Edition,
such as the Climax has just
published, there is bound to
be mistakes. There never
was, and never will be, a sim
liar edition published without
some errors. When you take
into consideration that our
edition contains sixteen
pages; eighty columns; nine
thousand four hundred and
forty lines of type; sixty-three
thousand and eighty words,
and about two million, two
hundred and seven thousand
eight hundred separately

CONDITION OF FRUIT CROPS
There are conflicting reports as to
the condition of the fruit crop TAX
ing this country as whole. This
may always be expected. The men
who want to buy our fruits want to
make it appear that the crop as a
whole is very large and as result
the prices must be low. The interest
of the growers is inst the reverse,
for if the crop is light, the prices Will
rule high. On account of these con-
fiictlng interests, we may, and often
de, see conflicting reports. Is there
any way to get at the truth IN such
cases? Early IN the season 1T is dlfh-
cult to get at the real facts. The best
source of information is the govern
ment reports. The men who make
up these are not interested parties
they neither buy nor sell. What do
these government reports indicate
now? | make the following clipping
from the daily press reports sent out
from Washington, ID. O., June 10:
''The splendid prospect for fruit in
New England and the Pacific states
almost counterbalance the poor
showing of the Central states, where
early frost got in telling work, accord
ing to report made public by the
department of agriculture on general
crop growth. The condition of the
apple crop is reported TO be more than
8 points below last year, or 53 per
cent as compared with the normal
condition. The ten-year average for
apples is 69.8 per cent. In new Eng

land and on the Pacific Coast the crop
promises to be immense, but in such
big apple states as Ohio and Missouri
there will be only about one-third of
crop.
''On the other hand the peach crop,
due to the excellent prospects in such
states as Georgia and Delaware,
promises to be larger than last year,
the condition on June ] being So per
cent, as compared with 81. per cent.
last year, and ten-year average Of
65 per cent. The Central states will
produce poor crop it appears now. -
Our exchanges show that this is
very fair statement. Apples must be
high when such conditions prevail.
The Georgia peaches for they will all
be out of the way before our peaches

move. There is no question but the
outlook for the Northwestern fruit
growers is good. The main thing now
with us is to keep our fruit clean,
t. get help to handle our big crops
and then see to it that our fruit of
all kinds is put up in first class
shape. The man who tiles to make
the growers believe that fruit will
sell very low this year is either de-
ceived or is trying to deceive. In
either case he Is unreliable.

insects abound in the garden and or
chard. We must fight them constant
ly and intelligently that we may win
in raising our crops. One OF the
things we must use a good deal is
kerosene emulsion. This is the rem
edy for destroying the aphides, COM
monty called lice, on trees and vege
tables. The usual recipe for making
"Hard soap, one-half pound boiling
water one gallon; kerosene two gal
Ions. Dissolve the soap In the water,
remove from the fire, and add the
kerosene. Agitate or churn this mix
ture thoroughly for five minutes with
a pump until perfect emulsion re-
suits. This is the ''stock solution. "
Before using it should be diluted with
about fifteen parts of water to one of
the emulsion.
In using this emulsion we must be
careful to reach all the lice we aim to
kill for it kills by contact. Lice do
not eat anything in the sense of bit
ing OF chewing it; they are suckers.
Sometimes it is hard to reach these
insects for by their sucking the juice
out of the leaves, they cause them to
curl up and thus they are protected.
Where trees are small or in the case
of rose bushes that have lice on them,
we may dip the parts affected in the
emulsion, and in this way all the in
sects will be reached. On account of
this protected condition Of the lice as
a result of this curling of the leaves,
many horticulturists think the most
effective way to control thems is to
destroy the egg in the winter or early
spring. This is done by spraying
with the sulphur wash during the
dormant season. A strong solution of
kerosene emulsion will destroy the
eggs.
Where but a small amount of this
emulsion is wanted it can be prepar
ed by using buttermilk instead of the
soap and hot water. Take one part
of the sour milk and two parts OF
kerosene the milk need not be heat
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-07-01

ed-and Thoroughly aeitate the mixture
for five minutes and good emulsion
will be the result. This kind OF emul-
sion will not keep long as stock solu
ton but must be used the same day
it is made. The stock solution made
with soap and boiling water will keep
indefinitely.
Instead of using kerosene emulsion
for killing lice strong solution OF
whale-oil soap will prove effective.
1t must be borne in mind that any
sticky substance that will close up
the breathing pores of the aphides
(lice) will kill them very quickly
Such insects have no lungs but breathe

these pores are stopped the insects die

their beathing pores were effected,
they would be dead in thirty seconds.
PRUNING STRAWBERRY ROOTS
j. Dalpay, Seattle, WASH, wri ties
under date of June 9Th. as follows:
cit would be desirable to be inform
ed through the columns OF The
Ranch, if in your opinion, after the
crop is off strawberry patch, it would
be beneficial to the plants to trim
their roots in the ground on a dame
ter of four to six inches? 1t seems to
me it would increase the number of
the feeders and consequently the
productive capacity OF the plants. "
| would not do this. Root pruning
is sometimes practiced in the case of
trees for the pun pose of checking the
growth as a means of increasing the
formation of fruit buds. The vigor-
Gus growth of young trees tends to
cause the buds to be all leaf buds. IL
root pruning should check the growth
OF trees, | cannot see how such prun
ing of strawberry plants would induce
more vigorous growth. In fact we
know that such pruning would cut OFF
very many of the feeding roots as
they are at the terminal portion Of
the roots as shown elsewhere in this
issue. In time, if the conditions are
favorable, these cut off roots would
start new growth and produce root
hairs but while the plants were wait
ing for this new growth, they would
