Where Representatives Of
100000 Farmers Meet
It Will Be The Debut Of
American Farmer
As A Politician In His Sec.
tion Of The .COuntry

st. Louis, Mo-, May 2-The eyes of
politicians throughout the country
will turn this week toward st. Louis,
where representatives of 100000
farmers are to meet in convention to
discuss needed state and national leg
islation and to establish bureaus at
different capitals to see that the de-
mands of the farmer are heard and to
devise means of making the farm
more attractive so that the proposed
solution of the economic problem of
today-back to the farm'-may be
made possible"
The gathering, which will begin it's
sessions tomorrow, is to be held under
the joint auspices of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America which comprises twenty
nine compact State organizations with
an aggregate membership of $780,
900 and the American Society of Equi-
ty, with a membership of $500 900.
Other farmers organizations with
memberships amounting to more than
100000 have, been invited to partici-
pate in the deliberations.
If for no other reason, the con-
vention would attract wide attention
because of the large number of emf
nent speakers who are to be heard,
The list is headed by President Taft,
who has accepted an invitation to ad-
dress the convention Wednesday,
Other men of national prominence
who will be heard are Senators Gore
and Owen of Oklahoma, Governor
Hadley of Missouri, Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, Col. John Temple
Graves of New York, Thomas Watson
of Georgia, and Congressman Cantrill.
The commissioners of agriculture of
a number of the Southern and West
ern States will also be included among
the speakers.
But the real Importance of the con-
vention is believed to lie in the fact
that it will mark the debut of the
American farmer as politician.
President Barrett of the Farmers Un-
ion emphatically denies that his or
ganization has any intention of join
ing In the formation of new political
party. Notwithstanding this denial it
is recognized by all that the work. of
organizing the farmers, especially in
the South and West, has made such
strides, in the last few years that the
Farmers Union is certain to be forced
to the front politically, and that even
if the union does not carry the pri-
maries or elections and secure the Of
fees it will nevertheless be able to
compel the politicians and officials to
adopt it's views on agricultural and &C.
onomic questions.
History does not record more phe-
nomenal growth than that Of the
Farmers Union. The organization was
first formed in Texas in the early '90s
and started its career with member
ship of ten persons. Today it covers
all of the States of the South, the

| will suggest that enc acre is enough
for the family orchard, writes a Min
nesota orchardist, and l do not advise
planting it all the first year. AS the
years go by you will learn much from
experience. The best location is a north
or east slope, mainly because the trees
will not start growing so soon in the
spring, II because the soil will not
dry out so quickly. One can mulch
trees on a south slope to keep the
ground from thawing early in the
spring, but this does little good, for it
also takes cool air to keep the buds
from starting; this condition is more
natural on the north slope. But do not
give up planting an orchard, even If
You do not have the ideal location, be-
cause fruit will do fairly we'll on south

good fence around the orchard site.

Scrn ping Bark from Trees.

AS to the ACCESSIBILITY of scrapine
rough, or shaggy, bark from apple
trees, Prof. H.. A. Surface of Pennsyl-
vania says:
This depends upon the conditions
in general. l would advise such treat
ment, especially where it is rough,
scaly bark of old trees; but If 1t be
bark that has been roughened by the
injurious action of oil sprays, or by
burning with fire or by some other
injury, can assure you that l am
satisfied it would be wrong to scrape
off such bark; because it is to the ten
der bark underneath just what a scab
on an animal is to a sore which it
is protecting. Therefore, if the bark
beneath be tender, SO that it would
be injured by being scraped, it is mo-
best to dc it. In the case Of an ordi-
nary healthy tree it is certainly best,
but at injured places, such as above
mentioned, it is advisable to scrape
gently, if at all. On an old tree you
can not apply enough pressure with a
short-handled doe or bark-scraper to
do any injury, and you will remove
many insect pests, such as codling
moth, woolly aphis and certain hiber-
mating creatures, and expose scale in
sects and other pests to the action of
the weather and of the insecticides,
which you will doubtless apply before
the leaves appear
