Berlin, May N.-After giving France an
official warning through &the Nord-

late the terms of the Algeciras conven-

Morocco. which from the very first was
recognized as an ante-election maneuver,
and the conservative press has not been
slow In obeying orders from above. Ger
many's interest, aside from domestic af-
fairs, has been entirely focused on Eng
land, and especially on the labor insur-
ance, bill Of Lloyd-George. which is
framed on German lines. a fact which
has greatly fiattered our national vanity.
And one must not forget that the plan
to improve the conditions Of the English,
workingman comes from the English
minister Of finance himself. The little
man who has overcome the selfish OBJ
jections of the large landowners against

he had gone again, to hold reviews at
Metz and Strassburg and to visit the
famous Hohkoenigsberg Castle. recently
rebuilt and refurnished in its original
medieval glory.
Without a moments rest he went on
to Wiesbaden, where he acted as anna
teur stage manage Of his royal opera
house. Then he had a week of rest and
boredom at London. and greatly relieved
at having fulfilled a tedious duty to the
memory Of his grandmother. Queen Vic
toria, he rushed back to his own em-
pire, where. at Cologne, he opened the
magnificent new bridge across the Rhine.
After reviewing his troops here and at
Potsdam, cavalry inspections follow, q
couple Of days shooting. and a flying
visit to Danzig, where the crown prince
takes up a command, the Kaiser's next
engagement will be the Kiel yachting

racing himself. he will entertain four

Walter W. Barrett was elected presi-
dent of Typographical Union No. 16 yes
terday by the largest majority ever given
a candidate for that Office. His election
is a repudiation of the administration of
President George r. O'Brien and the lat
ter's policies for the last year.
OBriens defeat is also an Endorsement
of the action of International President
James NJ. Lynch in the recent Chicago
strike, as O'Briens campaign was made
on an anti-Lynch platform.

treasurer, were also elected by large ma
joriries, and proved further blows to the

The big project Of sinking nine
artesian wells in Grouse township, Ly-
mar county, has come to a s~tandstill
as the result of a restraining order
issued by Judge Williamson, of the
circuit court, An election was recent
ly held in the township and a large
sum of money was voted to sink the
wells for irrigation purposes. After
the wells had been located some of
the farmers who had not been par
ticularly well favored with the loca-
ton began to cause trouble, and after
the work of sinking the wells was
under way these men took the matter
before Judge Williamson and asked
for an injunction. The hearing of the
injunction is set for December 4 at
Oacoma, and it Is the belief of the
farmers in the township that the
court will annul the order on the
showing that is to be made.

ORGANISM OF TREES IS VERY DELICATE

juries express themselves in various
ways, but one of the most common
perhaps is the peeling of bark from
around the trunk of the trees in the
spring. In other cases large, long,
longitudinal cracks may occur in the
bark in various places. Frost injuries
may be of all degrees of severity and
the length Of time that trees may live
after the injury occurs wilk of course,
depend upon the extent of the wounds.
The injury done to trees by borers
is well known by the fruit grower
but is often overlooked by the anna
teur. If allowed to have their own
way it is but matter of few years
before trees may be destroyed. The
same is true with the San Jose Scale,
but with this insect the destruction
of trees is usually much more rapid.
Borers may, of course, be dug out
and destroyed, while San Jose Scale
is comparatively easily combatted by
the use of strong lime sulfur spray ap-
piled in the winter time. If taken in
time but little harm need result from
these insects, but with the other
cases mentioned it is little that can
be done; certainly nothing after the
leaves begin to shrivel and die.
The plum tree shown in the accom-
Illustration is dying from two
causes: first, there was a severe me-

has never healed over and wood rots
have gradually extended the injury.
Later on one of the scaffold limbs
was removed for some reason. and
because the wound left was in the
crotch of poorly trained tree it fail.
ed to heal and so the injury rapidly
spread until finally the two wounds
are causing the death of the tree.
The top has shown its first serious
symptoms this spring, but it is likely
1t the whole tree will die before
the season is over.
One may conclude then that trees
do not usually die from a cause which
has taken immediate effect, but rather
that some agency has been at work
for a considerable period. Also where
the tops of trees show signs of dying
there is little that can be done to save
the tree. We must also conclude that
a tree is a delicate organism, and as
such, requires delicate handling. The
greatest of pains should be taken not
to iniure the tree in any way either
by careless use of cultivating tools
or of the pruning saw.

Professor Of Horticulture, Ohio State
University
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1911-07-06

This is the season of the year when
diseased or weakened trees begin to
show prominent symptoms of decline.
1t is not at all uncomn on for orchard
trees of all kinds to die, seemingly
within a few days and apparently
without cause, during the early part
OF June. The casual observer only
notices that anything is wrong when
the leaves actually begin to wither,
consequently the cause of the trouble
appears to be mysterious. But care
full examination will usually show that
the trouble is of long standing, and
the injury to bark or roots has finally
become so severe that the top does
not receive sufficient food and moist
ure to sustain the tree.
Several causes may bring about
this slow death which is apparently
sc sudden. Some of the more COM
mon causes are mechanical injuries of
various kinds such as bruises by Whit
f1e trees, plow and cultivator; by this
means rather large areas of wood are
exposed which dry out before the
bark has chance to heal over, and
various decaying agencies enter and
gradually extend the injuries. I'm
