THE AGRICULTURAL CENSUS.

The details of the agricultural CEN
sus for 1910 have not been completed,
but sufficient progress has been made
in compiling the report to justify the
conclusion that Texas will lead in per-
centage. of increase in number Of
farms in 1910 over 1900, This is the
item that has been disappointing to
great many of the older agricultural
states and as farm production is
Uncle Sans test of prosperity it is
regarded as one of the most important
classifications that will be developed
by the present statistics. OF the
states so far reporting, Illinois leads
with an increase of per cent and
other states line up with lesser figures.
Throughout the entire country the re-
ports show an alarming shift OF pop
ulation from the rural districts to the
cities, but no such unrest exists among
the Texas farmers. In Texas they have
the good fellowship which the big
hearted cowboys left as heritage to
the country and the pioneer hospital.
Iity which made the lives of Sam Hous-
ton and Stephen F. Austin illustrious
Ipredominates throughout the rural dis
tricts and Is one of the charming fea-
lures of farm life. In 1900 Texas had
1866 farms, valued at 1906, 237 ,0S3.
but the immigration Dagent has been
bringing farmers to Texas by train
loads and the showing that the state
will make in the number OF farms in
1910 will be a.pleasant surprise to all
Texans. The total increase OF the
state was 27,S per cent and reliable
forecast Is made that Texas farms viii
show at least IL per cent Increase

BOOSTING STATEHOOD

The following telegram receiv-

territories have been pushed
forward to be admitted in the
near future:
Washington, June IA, = Tele-
grams from many points through
out New Mexico and Arizona,
notably from commercial clubs
and business men, are pouring
in upon Senator William Alden
Smith, chairman of the senate
territories committee, urging
speedy action in giving statehood
to the two territories. Statehood
is asked in the most expeditions
way possible. There will be a
business stagnation there unless
congress admits New Mexico and
Arizona to statehood. Appeals
are made regardless of politics.
One telegram is from eight east
ern tourists in Albuquerque, in
Guiding a banker, an editor and
a manufacturer, suggesting that
early statehood is important for
the welfare of New Mexico. The
committee will get busy on the

is in Las Vegas.
1t is the intention to produce q
map of the twin territories that
will bear the greatest amount of
information that it is possible for
a corps of trained engineers to
gather. The data will be secured
from county surveyors, townsite
plats and the maps in the posses
sion OF railway companies. In
localities where exhaustive sur
vey wore has not been done the
engineers of the association will
do active work.
All the township lines will be
defined. County roads will be
shown and the distances between
cities and towns on all thorough
fares will be printed along the
route of the road on the map.
The elevations at the various
towns and cities will be printed
in a similar manner. This fea-
ture of the map will make it of
great practical value to autoists
and all overland travellers.
All mines, stage routes, land
grant, irrigation districts, forest
reserves and Indian reservations
will be marked off and defined
on the map. Accompanying the
map will be a list of all the towns
and cities in each territory with
their populations as determined
by the census of 1910. Optic.

Warning Against Apple and
Pear Blight.
During the past few weeks
several specimens of blighted
twigs of apple and pear trees
have been received by the de-
partment of Biology which show
that the blighted condition of the
above mentioned varieties of
trees is becoming more or less
general throughout the territory.
The SYMPTOMS of the Pear
Blight which is caused by the
Bacillus amylovorus Burr
Trev. are as follows; within three
to six weeks after fertilization
of the flower has taken place the
young twigs and tips of the
branches may begin to wilt and
show signs of general blacken-
ing, resulting finally in complete
blackening and death of ali the
branches and twigs affected.
The infection usually takes place
at the time of blossoming and
the disease is usually most
abundantly distributed at that
time. In the course of time
under favorable conditions,
whole branch or tree may be
killed as the disease progresses.
Young fruits of both the apple
and pear, an inch in diameter,
are often affected; the rapid
growth Of the organism gorges
the fruit with slime may exude
in droplets.
The progress of the disease is
often clearly shown by the con-
dition Of the bark. Within the
diseased area the tissues of the
bark have a water-soaked APP
pearance and finally blacken and
shrivel. Often one side of
limb will be badly affected while
the other side will be perfectly
sound to all appearances. In
many instance the bark is brok-
en- and from the ruptured areas
there are exuded droplets of a
gummy nature varying in color
from white through brown to
black.
The only really satisfactory
method of controlling the blight
is by cutting out and burning
every particle of the diseased
tissue. The orchardist should
not stop short of absolute ex-
termination in every case, for a
few trees overlooked may prove
the ruin of his entire orchard.
In every case it is necessary to
cut well below any external evil
dence of the disease. To avoid
spreading the infection, in case
the pruning tools accidently
cut into the diseased tissue, the
cutting blade should each time
be disinfected by wiping it with
a cloth saturated with a strong
solution or corrosive sublimate.
Il part to 1000 parts of water).
If the wound made by the in i
cision is large it should be dis
infected with the sublimate solu-
ton. Use particular care to re-
move and burn all the diseased
portions.
Any diseased material sent
the Station for Identification will
be carefully examined and re-
port sent upon request.

MEDALS AWARDED
HEROIC SAILORS

Washington, June ID. = The
cabinet was kept waiting late
yesterday while President Taft,
as commander-in chief of the
navy. paid tribute to six enlisted
men in the service.
In the presence of Secretary of
the Navy Myer and Captain Will
ey of the battleship North Dako-
ia, the president presented the
men with medals of honor. the
highest distinction the govern
ment can bestow. The presi-
dent spoke in highest praise Of
their heroic deeds, when ON Sep
tember 8. 1910, an oil fuel ex-
plosion on the North Dakota
killed three men, put in jeopordy
the lives of scores others and
placed the battleship itself in
danger.
Thomas Stanton and Karl Wes-
ia, chief machinists' mates; Pat
rick Reid and August Holtz,
chief water tenders; Charles c.
Roberts, machinist's mate, first
class, and Harry Lipscomb, wat
er tender, made up the honored
half dozen. These men waded
in water up to their waists, in
dense smoke, unbearable heat,
and the fumes of burning oil and
gas and steam, to rescue their
comrades and to prevent further
explosions. In addition to the
medals of honor, a gratuity of
$100 was given to each man
