SENATOR ALDRICH'S DEFENSE.

In his reply to Senator Bristow, of Kansas,
Senator Aldrich makes the astute defense
against the charges brought against him In con-
nection with the tariff on rubber manufactures,
which was to have been expected of one who has
given SO much time and study to matter con-
corning which people generally know nothing
except as they can deduce impression from ex-
perience. The Senator charges the Kansan with
malice Joined to ignorance. So far as the charge
Of ignorance is concerned it is doubtless, in COM
parison with Aldrich's knowledge of tariff
methods, sustained by the facts. AS to the impu-
tation of malice that is another matter. Bris-
tow knows the feeling of his State. He knows
the evaporation of his people. He knows that
evaporation and Impotence to reflect country
wide sentiment. Like good Republican poll
tician, he attempts to justify Republican hopes
by striking out, instead of indulging a futile
defense.
Senator Aldrich denies the imputation that
he or the company which he controls is interested
in the tariff increase on certain articles of rub
Der manufacture. He denies that the tariff
itse is protective and insists thai it Is for rev.
enue And he declares that the increase in the
price of rubber manufactures is brought about
by the increased demand for the raw product.
1uis ucicuec 40 PioohpiJ tAuc, 9o t"1 ob -
goes. What will strike the consumer forcefully,
however, and in these days almost every one
lis a consumer of rubber in one or another form,
is why in the face of an increasing demand and
d constantly rising price there should he added
a duty to the article manufactured from for
eign product, the price of which is SO rapidly
being enhanced. If the duty is not protective
why the duty for the sake Of a revenue which
can but family compensate for the increased
cost Of rubber manufactures-according to Sem
ator Aldrich, already greatly increased by the
operation of the law of supply and demand
The Senator from Kansas may, indeed, be
ignorant concerning the science of tarif-mak-
| ing as It has been followed at Washington. 1t
may be safe, rule TO say as a general thing
that all gentlemen from Kansas have consti-
tutionsl predelicton to talk first and think after
wards. But in this case the Ignorance Of the

SAVING THE PEACH CROP.

For Years the peach brown rot has
been recognized as q most destruc-
tive disease of stone fruits. This is a
ngous disease, and it is widespread.
and very destructive to the peach
crop. The loss which it inflints OH
peach grovers viii easily average S.
coo, 600 yearly. The loss to the peach
crop of Georgia alone is estimated 1T
$1,000 Q q year.
Much work has been done with a
view TO discovering Il satisfactory
remedy for this trouble. Spraying
with diluted Bordeaux mixture has
been most commonly recommended,
but its injury to the foliage has made
1t unsatisfactory. since the remedy
must be applied during the growing
season.
The peach scab Gotten called 'hl.rr
spot) is another disease which Sc
rlousiy affects the peach crop in al
sections east of the Rocky Mountains
thoug not causing such sc}Iu
losses as brown rot.
AS the result of experimental work
by the L. S. Department OF A2ricu'-
ture, a cheap and simple remedy for
this disease has been found in the
lime-suIphur wash. ms
can be applied during the grow ing
season with very little danger OF iH-
3urlns the fruit or foliage. and il is
very effective. Furthermore. by min
Ing arsenate of lead with The fMs-
eide, the curculic can be destroyed So

The department has just issued ri
bulletin describing the preparat."'
and use OF the remedy. This pubI-

The advent Of the weeviI is only
Fastening some things that must have

ant item is better economic conditions.
The planters, the small farmers, and
the tenant farmers must raise their
food supplies for themselves and their
work stock. If the b~oll-weevil had
not made this necessary, a world
competition would have ultimately
forced it. For a farmer to buy every
thing with one crop is unsafe and I'M
economic. n therefore must ulti-
mately be a failure. The South has
had greater opportunities to gain
wealth than any portion OF the United
States. 1t has made the money but
it has not kept it, because it has failed
to produce the things necessary for
s~ustenance upon Il farm and has
chosen to buy them at greater expense

The business Of farming as pract1ced

rust away, and the farmer and ms
family no longer dress shabby. The
government. agricultural colleges.
trolley lines, electric lights, telephones
and rural free delivery are the great
agencies responsible. for this change.
The modern farmer, especltly an llrrl-
cation farmer. must be a scientist. he
must farm scientifically. He can
not surrender his orchard to the pests.
The law requires him to at least pro-
tect his neighbor's ordchards. IF he
fails to comply with the law requiring
him to properly spray his trees, for
instance, the county or State steps IN
and either does this work Tor him or
chops down his trees. and charges the
expense thereof to the land of the in
uoient farmer.
One tree is now made to bear more
fruit than half d dozen did a few years
ego; one acre is made to produce as
much as ten acres did d few years
ago. Intensive cultivation means
smal and compact farms, with every
available inch of land utilized profit
ably, and the farmers and their fam
lies happy and contented. Panics do
not affect them much. They produce
the absolute necessities of life. The
world must look to them for a living,
So that after all the farmer is in
~dispensihle.
Never before has farming been car
ried on with such Il sure scientific
foundation. With soil, sunshine and
water il just the proportions demand

farming and fruit growing has be-
come an occupation suited to the edu-

in the tropics. Although when stripped
OF its feathers it is hardly larger than
a pigeon. yet no man can touch AT the
same time the tips OF its extended
wings. The long wing bones are ex.
ceedingly light. aud the whole appa-
ratus OF air cells is extremely devcl-
oped. so that its real weight is very
triiing.. II fiies at great height above
the water and from that elevation
pounces down on fish. especially pre-
ferring the poor. prosecuted flying fish
for its prey. According to some au-
thors. the name OF man-of-war bird
was given TO it because its appearance
was said TO foretell the coming OF n
ship. probably because the frigate peli-
can and real frigates are equally ad-
verse TO storms. and both like TO COME
