FAVOR FLINT FOR
BALL|NCER'S SEAT.
California Fruit Growers Desire
Retiring Senator in Impor-
tant Cabinet Position

eff Secretary Ballinger is forced to
resign on account of the controversy
in which he is entangled, Frank P.
Flint, retiring senator, will be the
candidate of the fruit growers of Cali
fornia and the Pacific states to sue
ceed the present secretary in Tafts
cabinet" said fruit grower high in
the councils of the officials of the
California fruit exchange yesterday.
Several other members expressed the
same opinion.
Although they are not doing it Off
cially as an organization the members
of the California fruit exchange and
practically all the fruit growers in
California are working quietly to bring
about Mr. Flint's appointment to the
office which will be made vacant in
the event of Ballinger's resignation or
removal.
SUPPORT FROM FRUIT MEN
President F. @. Story of the Cali
fornia fruit exchange and the Semi
tropic fruit exchange, when asktd to
affirm or deny the rumor, admitted its
truth yesterday.
"The fruit men of California GER
tainly would like to see Flint in the
office of secretary of the interior" "
said Mr.. Story. HE has been the
greatest friend of the industry we
represent, and while we believe he
could do US more good as senator, it
undoubtedly would be very beneficial
to California and the entire west If he
held the other position.
1.-THE exchange itself, of course, is
doing nothing toward boosting him for
the Job. Nor would 1t as an organiza-
tion dc anything toward securing the
position for him if Ballinger should
resign tomorrow, but at the same time
members of the fruit exchange and the
fruit growers of California in general,
whether members of the exchange or
not are for Mr.. Flint almost to a man
and would be glad to see him secure
the position. Officially we have done
nothing to further his prospects; un-
officially and as individuals we have
done much.
POPULAR AMONG GROWERS
"Of the report that the governors of
several western states, at their recent
conference in Salt Lake City, indorsed
Flint for the position 1 know nothing.
1 believe however, that in other states
on the Pacific SLOPE the fruit growers
are as strong for Flint as here.
There Is no organization which
binds all those engaged in fruit culture
and of course we are unable to sound
the feelings of the growers in regard
to this accurately, but from the re-
ports of our agents and statesmen am
satisfied that Mr.. Flint is looked upon
as a very satisfactory candidate to
succeed Ballinger should the latter re-
sign"

MANY CAUSES OF FAILURE

Prof. Surface says that the young
orchard should be cultivated. but not
with grain or grass crops. Corn po-
tatoes. beans and other vegetables.
well cultivated, are ideal for n young
orchard. This is doubtless true. but
evidently enough emphasis has not
been placed upon the fact that the
orchardist must make study decii-
ing on what to cultivate In his young
orchard. Many young orchard has
been siunted and delayed by improper
practice In the beginning. Some To-
calities experience hot. dry weather
early In summer. and II the orchard
is on land that naturally dries out.
the cultivation of annual crops may
rob the young trees OF the moisture
necessary for their thrifty growth.
causing them to struggle for existence.
and thus in measure stunt them
and delay their arrival at u remuner-
ative stage. In the care Of Il young
orchard there must be to n large ex.
tent the result of intelligent reasoning
on the part Of the owner. who must
In some cases deprive himself OF any
return from the land for year or
two In order to insure the best growth
and quickest returns from his trees.

Certainly It seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak OF export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet. every

Quaker Oats to Great Britain and

Tho reason Is simple: while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with
regularity that has made them the

mentally OF all people. the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture so that he might get that
