TO REGISTER APPLE TREES
Farmer Has Plan of Growing Orchard
of Pedigreed Stock-produce
Prize Winners.

Spokane, Wash.-Growing thorough
bred apple trees, to be registered the
same as live stock with pedigrees, is
an innovation in eastern Washington.
H. M. Lichty, an orchardist in the
Yakima -Sunnyside district, west of
Spokane, has perfected a plan to
place the science of growing CONNER
cial fruit of the highest quality and
color and uniform size upon a prac-
tical basis.
Explaining his plan, Mr. Lichty said
that in every thoroughly cultivated
apple orchard there are trees which
stand out for yielding most of the
prize winners at national and state
shows. Scions are taken from these
and transferred to other trees by
budding and grating, thus raising the
quality. The trees are recorded upon
an orchard plat, then registered and a
pedigree is issued to the grower.
Il do not claim that all trees 80
grown will produce premium winning
fruit" he added, "as that cannot be
said of pedigreed live stock; but the
experience of the foremost growers
In the northwest and other parts of
the United States and Canada will
show that greater percentage OF
high grade trees is raised by following
common sense system than by or
charding in the old haphazard way,
My own experiments prove these are
superior strains Of the several varie-
ties of standard apple trees"
Prof. w. S. Thornber, head of the
horticultural department at the state
of Washington college, Pullman, and
growers in the apple belts in eastern
Washington and elsewhere, approve
the Lichty plan, the former saying
that the products of healthy trees may
be improved by budding and grating
from superior stock. He added there
is just as much difference in apple
trees of the same variety as there is
in horses of the same breed The
plan Of registering trees and keeping
a record of yielding performances Is
also indorsed.

Reptiles in India Cause More
Deaths Than Any Animal.
Tigers Claim 9oe Victims, Leopards
and Wolves slay 571; Other AMI
mails 636-Ravaees of Plague
Are Checked.

Calcutta-Over 21,000 lives-that's
the toll of the jungle and forest in
India for a single year.
These figures of sudden death are
set out coldly in tabular form, in the
Blue Book Just issued which deals with
the statistics of the Indian empire, un-
der the heading, Number of Persons
and Cattle Killed in British India by
Wild Animals and Snakes"
The list goes into details. Thus we
learn that in the year under review,
1908, no fewer than 9O9 people fell vic
tins to tigers, 302 to leopards, while
wolves claimed 269 as their prey.
"Other animals" killed 6S6.
But the ravages Of the man eater
were as nothing compared to those OF
the snake, for the poisoned fangs OF
the latter put an end to 1878 lives.
To cattle, leopards were by far the
most destructive. Their kill was 42,427
head of a total of 9S,307. Tigers
claimed as their quarry 2S,25S, and
wolves about 10000.
Snakes, it would seem, are far less
fatal to cattle than to humankind, for
during the year they only killed 10000,
a small proportion of the total.
But the war was not one-sided'
Seventeen thousand, nine hundred and
twenty-six of the denizens OF the jun
gle fell before the rifle and gun, and
70,49S snakes-roughly, four for every
person killed-were destroyed. Boun-
ties for their destruction amounted to
$4,000.
The total population is nearly 3Oo,'

"Peg-lesger" Dragged to Hospital fol

PhoeniXville, Pa.-When William

way near that town he told the men
who found him that his foot had been

Springer was quickly placed on board

nored peremptorily, bnt kindly, with
the admonitions of those about him
that he lie perfectly still and not to
worry.
Upon his arrival here he was at
once loaded into the ambulance and a

he was rolled into the operating-room
and placed ON the table.

when it is remembered that all but
15,500, 900 of India's 300,000,000 people
are described as illiterate. These lat
ter figures explain, too how letter wri-
ting may be lucrative employment.
Very interesting, in the light Of re-
cent sedition trails, are some of the
crime statistics. Thus 12,411 offenses
against the state and public tranquil
lity were reported, and 4,797 convic-
tions; while dacoities, political and
others, numbered 1884, with $50 con-
victions.
AS might perhaps be expected in a
land so densely populated as India,
physical and mental inflrmity is by no
means rare, and altogether the total
population afflicted is 5S4,49S.
Lepers, male and female, numbered
1O7 $40, blind over 350,e0O and deaf
mutes about 10000. The insane pop.
ulation was about $4,000.
One of the greatest campaigns en-
gagged in India is that against plague,
but, despite vaccination and all the re-

Thus in 1909 plague claimed 174,s74
victims, high figure, but one that

total of 1,315,S92 in 1907. The death
roll for the last II years was 6,364,212
