THE MAN AT THE HELM.

These are hot days in Washington
in more respects than one.
Nothing in the recent history of re-
publicansm has created isuch fierce
anita gonisms as the determination of
President Taft to negotiate a treaty of
reciprocity with Canada.
There is persistent and violent OPP
position which President Taft believes
IS prompted mostly by seihshness and
which appears to be irrational
The enemies OF the president picture
the situation in this way:
The senate expresses it's contempt in
these woyds: The president had dug
a pit, the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment. and the democrats were now en-
gagged in putting him into the pitt
The National Grange has been send
ing circulars throughout the country in
opposition TO the Canadian reciprocity
and they are marshalling the farmers
whom they pledge TO support no man
for Office who works or votes for the
passage Of this bill.
In other words a large cI2ss or Am
ericsn citizens threaten to abandon re-
publican principles because of the
pecuniary interests involved. Under
such a banner the interests of the
many must give way TO the seldshness
Of the few.
President Taft remains calm and be-
lieves the advents ges of the treaty
are numerous enough to bank on and
likely to command the cordial support
Of the American people.

THE NEW SECRETARY or WAR.

The appointment of Henry r. Slim
son Of New York as secretary of war
to succeed Mr. Dickinson, who has
resigned, calls out no adverse criti-
cism from the press.
There is no reflection cast upon the
retiring secretary of war, who gives
no other reason than the demand of
private business interests upon him.
Secretary Stimson has an excellent
record as progressive republican. He
is distincJively a Roosevelt man and
stands for virtually all of the Roose-
Welt policies. It was through Roose-
Welt that he was fist introduced to
the general public. when Roosevelt
appointed him United States district
attorney for a section of New York.
He has been associated with the
prosecution OF the Sugar trust and has
figured very largely in the fines and
United States rebate cases of recent
times.
He has the confidence of the people
in his ability to fill this new office to
the satisfaction OF the administration
and his party. ss

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
When Fruit Trees Should Be Sprayed

Mir. Editor: Inquiries have come to
me lately regarding the spraying of
fruit trees and its effect upen bees.
VIII you kindly print this letter. which
viii serve as general answer to these
inc Uiriesc
No harm to bees comes from the
spraying of fruit trees provided this
strayins Is done at the proper season.
As TO what is the proper season, fruit
growers are not in full accord. Those
who have made this subject a matter
OF careful study however, state that
spraying sht uld not be done while the
trees are in bloom.
Among the latter is Mr.. f. e. Brown
of Pomfret, gentleman who is well
known throughout the state for his
skill in growing prize taking apples.
Mr.. Brow keeps bees for two pur-
poses-chiefy for their aid in fertil-
lzing the blossoms of his apple trees,
but also because of his interest in the
insects themselves. | am quoting Dir.
Browns words almost verbatim in the
following:
Il would not spray the trees while
they were in bloom. because Of my
bees. But even If I did not keep bees,
would not do II. because ! believe
that high pressure spraying Injuries the

morning. said Mrs Turnover, and

There isn't any sense in planting
flower seeds south OF the house" re-
pliad Turnover, irritabiy. looking up
from the novel he was reading. Any
woman with sense enough to pound
sand would realize that the sun Will
eeok the flowers to death as soon as
they spring out of the ground. F1owe-
seeds should be planted in a shady
place. You might as well plant them
in the furnace as to put them south
of the house Here you've lived over
forty years and don't know where TO
plant flower seeds yet. You ought to
go to night school and take a course
In botany"
Well for goodness sake. plant them
on the north side of the house. then.
said Mrs, Turnover. Il want to bright
en- UP our yard this year, and d few
flowers will be a great improvement.
Take the seeds and plant them north
of the house, where there Is plenty of
shade
That would be worse yet" objected
Turnover. WIFI you never learn any
thicg Mary Jane3 Your exhibitions Of
ignorance are astoni shiEg and painful.
Any schoolgirl knows that flowers
wort grow on the north side of q
house. There they are exposed to all
the cold winds and get none of the
vitalizing sunshine and they just
throw mp their hands and qUit before
they have borne q bi0sscnl. Your idea
OF having flowers about the place is a
good enc, but you should exercise some
Judgment IN selecting a place for them.
You might as well plant flower seeds
in the refrigerator As on the north side
of the house
Oh, Of course, you win have ten
thousand objections no matter what I

GATHERING WILD FLOWERS.

IL is not Sc very many years ago
that man who took an interest in
flowers or became enthusiastic over
them was considered q 'sissifi ed man
or a freak: but now an Ohio editor
publicly proclaims that gathering wild
flowers 10 the fsircst OF pastimes. and
that such men see in every flower an
expression OF true love
Those who like 10 stroll the fields
and gather Wild flowers will enjoy this
rhapsody upon them from his fluent

ia an expression of Gods grace and
love. And one feels after a search in
the woods for these flowers, the in
fiuence of their modesty and tender
ness. which xrsces get into his heart
and convert him into better man, and
so he is, tiil the old world of streets
and crowds butt into his heart again
and scares them all away"
We cannot all see 80 much in these
fi0raI miracles a this Ohioan does
but we certainly enjoy his fervent love
for wild flowers and his poetic inter-
probation of their beauty and the bless-
ing they become to those who dwell
close to the heart Of nature.

while the little apples are still in an

for the coddling moth spraying in most
cases. Where very extensive orchards
are to be sprayed one can start In
after nine tenths Of the petals have
fallen, or can first spray those trees
which bloom early, finishing with the
late bIoonners.
The chief danger lies in the spray
ing done by contract. A person or a
firm taking contracts to spray various
small orchards will find it difficult to
do all spraying at the best time, and
will argue that 1t is right to spray the
