you is-do not waste your money
in setting out trees, for under all
coalitions both trees and fruit will
not do their best unless attention
is directed along this line.
Preventive measures ere neces-
sary and precautionary steps are
imperative. Know the harmful
insects and plant diseases and in
spect your orchard and nursery
often, in order that you may fully
recognize these pests and know
what treatment to apply. Many
of the common enemies to the
fruit tree are readily destroyed if
correct remedial steps are advanc-
ed at the right time.
For those entering, or already
in fruit growing in this State, may
feel sure of success If vigilance is
exercised in the selection, care and
culture of the trees they plant.

The sentiment and sign Of the
times is safeguarding against dis
eases which attack mankind. Such
topics as topics as quarantine, SAN
itation, transmitting of disease by
insects are very commonly men,
toned in the magazines and the
press today. These subjects are
timely and important and too great
stress cannot be directed to them.
In fact all things which have to do
directly with the health and hap
piness of man should be given the
utmost attention. In this connec-
tion the relation of fruit and
health has bearing on my mind,
To be fruit eaters means'health for
the majority of persons, Yet in
years like the present, to be able
to satisfy our fruit appetites would
require larger salaries and wages
than the average man receives.
Why is it we see no fruit except
that grown away from here? [
refer especially to those apples for
which we are paying from 5 to Is
cents apiece. Why can not Ten
nessee produce even better speci-
mems than the best of these apples
coming from the Northwest?
The answer is, we do not direct
sufficient attention to care, culture
and location of our orchards. Un-
der the head of care comes pruning,
spraying, ,smudging, ndinspection
for insect pests and plant diseases,
! We buy trees from another State
and often select varieties that are
not adapted to Tennessee, and in
variably these trees are infested
with San Jose scale, woolly aphis
and crown gall. Too little atten-
tion is given to the inspection for
these injurious pests.
Ouly trees having inspection
certificates should ever be accepted
from any nurseryman, and we
should never place an order with
a "fruit tree agent" Rather buy
your trees from nurseryman hav-
ing a reputation and one who is
desirous of maintaining it.
Council with authorities before
you buy trees; learn from them
] the kinds which do best in your
soil and on your elevations; learn
how to set out your orchard and
above all else decide to spray.
Unless you are willing to adopt
this paying practice, my advice to

HOW TO CURE
TRUST EVILS

News:
If Governor Woodrow Wilson
ever becomes President of the
United States his message on the
subject of trust busting will come
to Congress with the decisive en-
phasis of the rife shots which echo
through his library from the range
as you sit in conversation with
him in the State executive summer
home here. They will if the Gov
ernor retains the opinions he now
holds on the illegal things done by
the people characterized by Mr..
Roosevelt as malefactors of great
wealth.
Governor Wilson is not hopeless
despondent. He disagrees utterly
with those who believe the law
can not be made to reach such as
seek to adjust the business ma
chinery of this country SO that all
the wealth will fall into few hop
pers. His ideas are sharply defn-
ed and his plans simplicity itself.
He would send violators of the
law to jail.
That is the whole of the anti
dote he prescribes. Fines, he says,
place too much of the burden of
the punishment upon the innocent.
And he SCOTS at the idea that the
guilty cannot be detected and con-
victed.
"The managers of corporations
themselves always know the men
who originated the acts charged
against them as done in contraven-
ton of the law; is there no means
by which their names may be dis
closed to the officers of justice?
Every act, every policy in the
conduct of the affairs of a corpora
tion originates with some particu-
lar officer, committee or board.
The officer, the committee, the
board ordering an act or originat-
ing policy contrary to the law, or
intended to neutraliGe or contra
vene it, is serious offender against
society and must be punished If
our institutions are to stand.
1T is neither sensible nor effect
i've to attempt to punish the cor
poration. We do not indict gun,
but the man behind the gun. 1t is
a fatuous and unnecessary fiction
to treat corporation as in all re-
spects legal person. TO control
such of it's acts as are against pub
lie policy we must cease to deal
with it by means of the law as if it
were onlya single individual, re-
sponsible individual, and must ham
die it for what it is-an artificial
agency. You can not punish cor
poration. Fines fall upon the
wrong persons, and more heavily
upon the innocent than the guilty.
Those who know nothing whatever
of the offense for which the fine is
inflicted must pay as we'll as those
who originated and carried through
<theillegalact So the real punish
ment falls upon the stockholders
and the custumers.
"If you will but put one or two
conspicuous dummies into the pen
itentiary there will be no more
dummies for hire. You can stop
the traffic in in dummies, and then
when the idea has taken root in the
corporate mind that dummies will
be confscated the custom of the
business will change. Modern
'bdsiness enterprise makes the cor
poration indispensable. None of
MS, I take it, has any quarrel with
business success, but all of us
ought to have an irreconcilable
quarrel with business lawlessness.

GOOD ROADS
MASS MEETING

IL VIC Sio'HUuc VI IcDHc5bct-Nl
am authorized by the officers and
committeeman 1.-TWO have not an
swered of the Memphis to Bristol
Highway Association to call IA
meeting in Nashville, Tenn, on
November ID, 1911, at II o'clock,
noon, to convene at the State Cap
itol, for the purpose of organizing
the Tennessee Association for
Highway Improvement.
In order that it be regular in
every way and no cut and dried
affair of inviting a selected crowd,
it is requested of the citizens Of
each county in the State to meet
in mass NJ Getting at the court house
in each county at IL O'Clock, noon,
November 6, for the purpose of
selecting delegates to attend the
meeting in Nashville. It is re-
quested that you select one dele
gate for every 1000 or majority
portion thereof of the population
of your county based on the census
of 1910.
The purpose and intention of
organizing this State association
in part will be;
To organize the whole State for
the purpose of cooperating with
the American Association for
Highway Improvement.
To organize sentiment for better
reads and a better road law for the
State.
10 encourage a systematic Or
ganization in every county and
civil district in the State So as to
secure medium for the distribu-
tion of good roads literature and
papers through the national and
State associations.
10 elect delegates to attend the
American Association for High
way Improvement, that meets in
Richmond, Va, November IL, 1911.
To petition the next General
Assembly for authority, under the
statute, to charter the accociation.
In the press Of the State, about
two months ago, I stated that as
soon as the preliminary work of
surveying and constructing the
Memphis to Bristol Highway was
nearer completed and the work
under way, that the officers and
friends of this association would
call meeting of delegates from
every county in the State for the
purpose above named.
| am officially informed that the
survey is being made and the con-
struction is under way in several
counties and that the details are
being completed in other counties
for the final completion of this
highway. l presume, therefore,
that the new organization will not
interfere with the work, but will
lend it's encouragement to the
commission in charge of the con-
struction of the Memphis to Bris-
tol Highway.
1t is hoped the press, together
with every good roads enthusiast
in the State, will join heartily in
this movement, and that full DEL
egation will be on hand from every
county in the State.
Send me the name of the secre-
tary of the mass meeting of each
county in the. State and l will
communicate with him about rail-
road rates, arrangements, etc.
Respectfully,
GEORGE A. GowAN,
President

WORLD'SAUTO MARK
BROKEN BY BuRMAN
Reels Off Mile at Indian
apolis in 0:S5::95.

Indianapolis. May 2s.-Bob Burman, who
won the title Of Speed King" in Florida,
to-day broke the worlds track record by
making a mile in 0:as.35. The record was
0:a563 for the mile. made by Barney Old
field. on Memorial Day q year ago, in
the same Blitzen-Benz that Burman used
to-day. There are no record for short
distances that are not now held by Bur-
nan, as the record made to-day carried
with It the record for the half mile and
kilometer, which he made in o:16.s3 and
0:21.4c, respectively.
Burman rode twice about the great
brick course at high speed before he held
up his hand as signal to the judges and
timers that he was ready on the next
lap. -
The car few along the home stretch at
speed that brought all the spectators
to their feet, and a murmur from them
grew into a storm Of applause when the
daring driver dashed by the stand. When
Oldfleld drove his machine on the Speed
way a year ago, he established q record
that racing men thought would stand for
years.
Oldfield's kilometer record was OILS
and Burman's time was 0:21.40. Oldheld's
half mile record was 0:17 fat. and this
was lowered to 0:16s3 by Burman. The
new quarter mile record which Burman
established is o:0s.1s. -
