the final chapter in a very unfor-
funate occurrence:
Annapolis. April 24ZIt was learn
red today that Capt. J. M. BoWyer,
superintendent of the Naval Academy
has forwarded to Miss Mary III. Beers,
daughter of Prof. Beers, at Yale Uni
Hersity, a letter of apology for the ac-
dion taken by one of the academy
officers, who suggested to her mid
Shipmen escort that by reason of her
employment she should not again be
invited ito academy dances.
The letter was not made public,
but it is understood that Miss Beers
was assured that the action was due
entirely to-a misunderstanding of her
status"
Her employment, above referred
Ito, is said to have been acting
nIIrsemaid to a child of one of the.
officers of the academy. Whether
this was a paid service or not, we
are not informed, but we presume
not. However, this point has no
bearing ON the case.
Sour United States was, and is
supposed still to be, a democracy,
In which all people are free and
equal, until some violation Of law,
or the rules of propriety set them
apartsas unworthy of classification
with freemen, or lower them from
equality with their ,countrymen.
H is, of course, understood that
differences in environment and de-
e Eelopment serve to prevent con-
gen1ality between and among all
our population. This is the cause
of the different strata in u So
ec1al organization, and is too well
known to require discussion. We
know there are no other reasons
Whyaany person should be exclud-
ted from any place, by any other
person. This principle, we hold,
applies in it's broadcast sense to in
st1tutions controlled and conduct
ed by the government, that is by
Gherpeople Of the United States.
: 1T appears that this young lady
rwas, by all the rules above set
forth, entitled to attend the afore-
mentioned hop-and not only this
~one, but as many others as the
young men of the academy saw fit
Ito invite her to. Whether she
was, or wasnot, a nurse, Or a cook
or a scrubwoman, has nothing
whatever to do with the case, and
the excuse offered for the break is

Questions Answered

N. r. Selover, Copeland, Idaho,
writes under date of December 5, as
follows:
81 will be very much obliged it you
will answer the following through The
Ranch:
"You say that you prefer an apple
on its own roots, having been started
with piece root graft. Now intend
growing my cwn trees and had intend
ed cutting off the Seeding about six
inches above the ground and grating
it right where it stands in the nursery
now. Will you say what is wrong with
this method?
"Can one make a success with
apples by growing alfalfa and doing
no cu.tivating, provided he has
plenty of water with which to do his
irrigating?
"Can anyone grow for his own
use or for sale Delicious or King
David apples, or have Stark Bros.
some right which prevents others
from so doing?"
The method here presented of
cutting off a Seeding and grating in
the nursery row is one of the best if
not the best. This would be a real
whole root graft but this course is
not generally pursued by nurserymen
who make speciality of whole root
CRAFTS. The tree is all right but if
were in the nursery business I would
not practice this method but would
make from four to six CRAFTS from
each Seeding instead of one. By
using the long scion, set deep in the
ground, my trees would be on their
on roots and could not be improved
upon. But [ would recommend cut
ting the Seeding off just under the

ground and not six inches above.
When grated just under the ground,
draw the dirt up two inches or more
above where the union is made and
keep it there through the first sum-
mer. In following this method, l
would use no wax and would use no
wrapping. The CRAFTS will grow
splendidly and the union will be as
near perfect as possible. But this
method is too expensive for the
general nurseryman.
Yes, you can grow alfalfa in an
orchard and the trees will be very
thrifty for the alfalfa will be constant
ly gathering nitrogen from the air
and storing it uL in the soil. 1t
would be better to cultivate a sparse
four or five feet across around each
tree for the first three or four years.
| would cut the alfalfa and let it rot
on the ground, for if you remove it
as hay, your ground will be losing
phosphorus and potash and other
elements of fertility to some extent
and ultimately may be impoverished
for the lack of these things. How
ever, this will not be noticeable for
many years.
After the scions of the Delicious or
King David have passed from the
hands of Stark Bros, they have no
control over them. You can use these
scions without anyone interfering
with you, provided you have obtained
them honestly. This firm of nursery
men in consideration of some favOrs
from me, made me present of some
scions of these two varieties as we'll
as some others, but they put no re-
strictions on me about using sclons
from these trees. 1 am grating some
more trees from my own scions and
they know it tut have never made
any objections to my use OF these
scions. We should deal honestly
with firm that introduces new
variety of fruit, but they cannot con-
troll the increase. My understanding
in the matter is that person cannot
secure a patent on a variety of fruit.

has asked for it, provided your agent
finds the firm reliable. Ii the agent
of this reputed firm refuses to make
that kind of an arrangement, then
turn him down with a thump. An
honest man who represents reliable
house would not object to such an
arrangement and dishonest one is
sibIe. Send your own agent on to
Chicago or any other place where
your fruit will be in demand and he
eau soon make an arrangement that
will get rid of your fruit without the
loss you have sustained. Have some
one you can depend upon to look
an unknown man. see how this might
have worked out in the handling of
your fruit the past fall-5O carloads
of apples, 600 boxes to the car, should
have sold for more than $50, 900.
Suppose you had paid a good man
$500 to have done the work | have
suggested, how much would the grow
ers have saved over what they got
from this scamp? venture to say
that the saving would have been
somewhere between $40. 900 and S20,
600. Such a method would soon
eliminate such fellows as p1eyed on
your community the past fall
This agent of your organization can
be looking up the markets and the
reliability of these men who travel
about seeking the uniformed who they
can fleece by holding out tempting
bats. II there is a good reliable firm
in your community who will buy your
fruit at reasonably good prices, sell
to them. But whatever you do, do
not send your fruit off to some house
in st. Paul, Chicago, New York or
anywhere else, of whom you know
nothing. BE sure to know the men
of whom you commit your fruit
whether at home or abroad. We
nearly always sell our fruit to a firm
at home and we have done we'll.
The fruit growers must organize
and if the regular buyers will not
deal fairly with them, they must
eliminate the buyers and through
their representatives, sell their own
fruit. Too many middlemen are a
menace to the fruit growers When
the gro Wer gets not more than one
third OF each dollar paid by the con-
sumner there is too much waste in
handling the crop. Middlemen are a
necessity but when the business is SO
arranged that they who "buy and sell
and get gain" take two thirds of what
the consumer pays there is something
wrong AS stated in former issue,

BITTER ATTACK on J.. }. HILL
North Dakota Farmers Letter Read
in Senate.


A bitter attack on J.. j. Hill, in the
form of a letter read into the record
on motion of Senator Gronna, and as
sertions made by Senator McCumber
at a hearing of the finance committee
were the contributions made by the
North Dakota senators in opposition
to Canadian reciprocity.
The attack on Mr.. Hill, which was
provoked by his recent Chicago speech
in favor of reciprocity, did not pro-
coed without protest. Unanimous con-
sent was obtained by Mr.. Gronna for
the reading of the letter before it was
discovered the communication vas of
great length and vigorous language.
The writer, r. T. Kingman, a farmer
of North Dakota, referred to himself
as lone of those ignorant farmers
with no reasoning power of my own,
having been imposed upon by those
'despicable scheming demagogues.'"
He then proceeded to put a few ques-
lions to Mr.. Hill. He asked, first,
why Mr.. Hill is SO ardently in favor
Of the agreement; why the next day
after the vote was taken in the house
Great Northern stock advanced on the
New York Stock Exchange from 1873 to
1876 and why the sudden decision OF
the Great Northern to build a new
depot in Winnipeg at a cost OF
$2,OO0,0 00.
