WALDEN'S ADVICE
ON THINNING FRUIT

Prof. +. Walden, the we'll known
horticulture writer, III discussing
this feature of fruit gro wing says
in The Ranch
Experience has Taught me that
tree can bring a certain amount
of fruit up to the proper size, Whcth
CT it is evenly distributed over the
tree or punches to gethcr in certain
places If the frost takes all the
lower apples or peaches and they
are left pretty thin in the top, they
need not be thinned. In top graft
ing some apple trees ten or twelve
years old left some limbs to be
cut OFT one or two years later.
These limbs so left set very heavily
with apples, but did not thin
them, and the apples were all
bought up to large size, thus prov
ing my theory that a tree ca bring
certain amount of fruit up to
large size whether it is scattered all
over the tree or punched in some
places very thickly.
There is no hard and fast rule
for thinning. An inexperienced
person is very likely to leave too
much on the tree. At the time of
the thinning, the apples and peach
IS are very small and do not show
as thy will when ready to pick.
The best teacher anyone can have
is experience 1t is hard to lay
down rules that will apply equally
to all varieties.
In thinning apples; however
one rule is of universal application
and that is. thin to one in place,
This will be sufficient with some
varieties of apples. For instance,
it is sufficient for Ben Davis, but
not ror Missousi Pippens. How
ever, whether thinning to one III a
place is sufficient or not, that much
must be done any how, and then If
what is left are too thick another
rule must be applied, and that Is
to leave no apples nearer than four
inches apart on the same limb. II
two apples are on different limbs
then the fourinCh rule does not
apply. These two rules come a,
near giving a safe guide i'll thinning
apples as the work can be done UNI
der written directions. If only one
side of tree has apples on it these
rules should be modified according
to the suggestions already given.
In thinning peaches, the first
rule is to leave but one peach on
any limb not over four inches long;
the next rule is to thin to one at
place in all cases, and the third
rule is to thin to four inches apart
on limbs over four inches long
The rules that govern the thin
ming of apples and peaches apply
II the same general way to pears,
apricots, plums and prunes.
Peaches should be thinned early
in June and apples carly in July.
\ fruit grower must get good
grip on these principles, aud apply
common sense in using the rules
set forth.

TO LOCAL DEBATERS

Question in Two Matches
Held at Same Time.

Rock Island high school debaters
scored two victories over Moline
teams last evening in debates held
simultaneously in Rock Island AND
Moline. A team of three represent
ing this city went to Moline and a
team from that city came down here.
The same question was the subject of
debate at each city. 1t was Re
solved, that there should be legisla-
ton providing for the guarantee of
bank deposits" The Rock Island
team which went to Moline argued
in favor of the negative and the team
which remained at home had the
affirmative. Stevens, Reticker and
Woodin went to Moline, and Pleas
ants. Taylor and Wilson upheld the
schools reputation at the debate in
this city. The judges for both de-
bates were selected from the faculty

The republicans of the Fourth ward
have paid handsome tribute to Aid
erman Charles L. Thompson in fall
ing to have a candidate against him
this spring. One of the party mem
bers had been induced by the bosses
to consent to the use of his name at
the primary, but after he got in touch
with sentiment and found that it IA
vored letting well enough alone, he
withdrew, making a clear field for Mr.
Thompson, the democratic nominee.
In the two years Mr.. Thompson has
been in the council he has been right
on every public question, and the
people of his ward are satisfied that
he should continue as their represen-
tative as long as he chooses to do so.
A rare compliment, indeed, to a mem

Boy Has Narrow Escape While At

OF late a crowd of boys between the
ages of 10 and Is years who reside in
the west end of town have been in the
habit of Tipping trains passing along
First avenue. This morning the boys
started out to have a time, and when
a Milwaukee freight was passing
Twelfth street, one of the number
tried to board it. He missed the train,
however, and was thrown to the
ground. His companions picked him
up and found that he had not been
seriously injured. The matter was re-
ported to the police, and arrests will
likely follow if the boys persist in the
dangerous practice.

Chat of the Campaign

Jack Aud is going to be reelected
assessor with a whoop. The people
put him in the Office because they de-
sired a change-and they have hardly
had time to test the advantage of the
change yet.
Scan the democratic aldermanic
ticket. Isn't it the best ever, taking
it the entire town over?
Vote for L. n. Bourdeau for collec-
tor. He is as deserving as man could
possibly be and is possessed of the
qualifications to discharge the duties
acceptably.
Look into the democratic city-town-
ship ticket Composed of representa-
tive men all the way through.
Andrew Math, candidate for super
visor, has never sought public Office.
He has consented to accept the demo
cratic nomination in response to a de-
mand. He is the right kind of a man
for the Office
DR.. M. H. Patten will make a credit
able justice of the peace. He is well
balanced upright citizen who deserves
election.

RAMPOLLA WORTHY OF RULE
SHOULD POPE Plus K DIE
Cardinals Former Enemies, Who Opposed His
Election, Non Friends and Supporters.

Rome, Feb 12-There are many who
believe that if Plus X dies after nine
years of pontihcate, as he says himself
he will. his successor will be Cardinal
Rampolla. The Pope has secret feel
ing that his election only postponed that
of Cardinal RampOlla and lest a veto
should again prevent the Scilian cardinal
from mounting the pontifical throne he
specially abolished it and threatened with
accommodation any cardinal who dares
to exercise the right of veto in the con-
clave.
Cardinal Rampolla's former enemies
who opposed his election as Pope are
now his friends and supporters. They
consider him to be the only member of
the Sacred College who Is worthy OF the
tiara and they are convinced that under
his pontificate France will be rec0nciled
to the church.
Has Lived in secIusiOn.
Cardinal Rampolla for the last seven
years has lived in seclusion. and he studi-
ously abstains from taking an active part
in the government Of the church. He may
be reconciled TO his exclusion from the
papacy. and he may be merely waiting
for his time to come. Ostenslbly he has
no adherents. and he is not a leader of
a party. but, all the same many look
upon him as the next Po0e. aud is chief
opponent in the conclave. cardinal Satolli,
