THE MAINE FRUIT CROP OUTLOOK

Prof. E. F. Hitchings, former State ento-
mologist, who is at present at the head of the
horticultural department of the University of
Maine at Orono, was visitor, Thursday, at the
agricultural department at Augusta in the
interests of three fruit exhibitions which are
to be held in New England the coming fall and
winter. Prof Hitchings was asked what the
outlook was for the general fruit crop this
year in the State. He replied: 81 think the
outlook is good, alt ough in some sections the
June drop was more extensive than usual. l
consider the outlook good for at least an aver
age crop of the leading varieties. Much better
care has been taken Of the orchards, and more
pruning and spraying has been done than ever
before. There have not been any serious out
break of our important pests, although the
apple tent caterpillar has been found almost
all over the State, and the fall web worm is
doing great deal of damage at the present
time. These should be looked after at once,
and destroyed before they do any further
damage. Especially is this true of the young
orchards, where they are doing so much damage
that the trees will be incapacitated from bear
ing if the pests are not destroyed"

THE GRANGE ON TEMPERANCE.

Mr.. C. S. Stetson of Greene, Master
of the Maine Grange, and his executive
committee, on July Goth inst, issued
recommendation to the subordinate
oranges to oppose the movement for the
repeal of the prohibitory liquor amend
ment of the Maine constitution. Many
citizens will be interested in the follow
ing citations, showing the past attitude
of the grange on the temperance issue in
Maine and how the Vermont Grange re-
CARDS the local option law, which was
substituted for prohibition in that State
several years ago.
The State Grange of Maine, on De-
cember II, 1900, said: "Resolved: that
public welfare and public honesty de-
mand strict and impartial enforcement
of our prohibitory law and all other laws,
not only that these evils be suppressed,
but that our children may be taught to
respect and obey the laws, rather than
to be taught, by living example, that
they are things to be evaded and violated
with impunity."
The State Grange of Maine, assembled
at Lewiston, on December 20, 1907, said,
''Resolved: that we express through our
State legislative committee to our ma
tional grange legislative committee our
belief that this law federal interstate
commerce,) should be so amended that
no form of organized transportation
shall have right to transport any arti-
Gle of commerce from one State into an
other which shall be contraband in the
State to which it is shipped
The State Grange of Maine, assembled
at Augusta, on December 20, 1910, said,
''Resolved: by the Maine State Grange
in annual session assembled, represent
ing nearly $4,000 patrons that we en-
phatically protest against the repeal of
the 9Th amendment to our State consti-
tuition prohibiting the manufacture or
sale of alcoholic liquors within the
State
The State Grange of Vermont, 6. W.
Pierce of Brattleboro, Master, in Deem
Der 1907, said, Whereas: the present
law regulating the traffic in intoxicating
liquor increases drunkenness in all license
| towns, and in many no-license towns,
and makes our help problem difficult to
solve and affects our markets by secur
ing to the saloon Golfers for no good pur-
pose the money which would otherwise
be spent for the necessares of life which
We produce;
Therefore, we think, whatever the sa-
loon may be in other States, it is bad
thing for Vermont, and that an improved
State prohibitory law would greatly add
! to our prosperity, and we therefore ask
our next legislature to provide for such
law either directly or by referendum.
The State Grange of Vermont, Glenn
ent F. Smith, of Morrisville, Master, in
December 1910, assembled at Burlington,
said, "Whereas, believing that the pres
ent law upon our statute books, as relat
ing to the sale of intoxicating liquors, is
not the will of the people of the State,
as expressed by the collective votes of
our towns, and
Whereas, we believe that free gov
eminent is by the people, therefore be it
Resolved, that Vermont State Grange
again goes on record as favoring another
referendum or some such means, so as to
get popular expression of the people re
lating to the control of intoxicating
liquors"

HOTTEST SUMNER FOR 40 YEARS.

WASHINGTON, August q Not in the
past 40 years have temperatures in the
United States during the late spring and
early summer been so uniformly high
for so long a period and over such
large portion of the country as this
year, according to weather bureau Off
cials- The high temperatures were most
pronunced over the more central and
northern portions of the country, while
the Southern States We're comparatively
exempt from unusual heat.
The intense heat occurring over the
more populous section caused great suf-
fering in the congested portion Of the
cities and resulted in the loss of prob
ably thousands Of lives.
Lack of rainfall over the great agri-
cultural districts during much of the
long heated periods greatly retarded vege
table growth and threatened a serious
curtailment of crop production. Oppor-
tune rains, however. with cooler weather
greatly improved conditions and the out
look at the present time is favorable for
the gathering of the usual harvests o
most of the great staples.
The period of greatest discomfort
was from June 22nd to July 10th. Higher
temperatures occurred at other periods
over much of the territory, but the re-
sulting discomfort and loss of human
life were doubtless augmented in the
period just passed by the fact that the
most intense heat occurred toward the
close of long heated period, when
the animal vitality had been largely de-
pleted and therefore was not in condition
to further withstand the facilitating eff
of still greater heat.

THE DISHONESTY OF THE RUM
ELEMENT.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: If
the rum element had been honest in their
demands for high license they never
would have repealed the liquor agency
law. We had in that the highest kind of
high license. They repealed this law be-
cause, they said, the agents were abusing
the privilege and were making unlawful
sales, which was probably true. 1t can
not be denied that this was one of the
cleanest, strongest, best safeguarded IL
cense laws ever enacted. 1t provided
here in Maine under our prohibition law
for the sale in every city and town for
pure liquors of all kinds in practically
unlimited quantity, for every purpose
except drunkenness, and the last legisla-
ture repealed it. Why? Did they re-
peal it because the law was disrespected,
as they claim? or because drunkenness
was disrespected? The sole and only
trouble with this license law was that it
was death blow to the only argument
they had or wanted to have against pro-
hibition, namely, that under prohibition,
pure liquors, or liquors in sufficient varie-
ty could not be had for decent and legit-
innate purposes.
Very few of the towns ever availed
themselves Of this practically free H.
cense, because, and only because, there
is very little real demand for pure liq-
uors, or liquors pure or impure for any
purpose but drunkenness.
