Il Paws to .rrlgate.

Hutchinson, Kan.-1t pays to smudge
and TO spray and to irrigate and do
other things like that hi the orchards.
And the best proof that it pays is to
compare the 5000 bushels of apples
that are coming in every day from the
big Underwood orchards with .he
crops of runty, worm-eaten and blotcn'
infested apples in the orchards where
no spraying was done. In the larger
orchards around Hutchinson, where
care was taken of the apples, there is
a splendid crop. But elsewhere, where
no scientific spraying was done, the
apples mainly dropped from the trees
and there is almost failure as far as
apples that can be stored and shipped
are concerned, in most of the smaller
orchards.

Take New Road to Court.

Winfield, Kan.-Nearly five hundred
members of the Farmers league re-
Gently met to protest against the levy
of the tax for the building of the pro-
posed Winipeg-Gulf road through Cow
ley county. The county commission
ers had previously been requested to
resign. AS the commissioners would
neither rescind their action or resign
the league has determined to fight the
proposition through the courts, and for
that purpose authorized its executive
committee to employ the best legal
talent possible The action will be
brought in the state supreme court,
which will be asked to enjoin the coun.
ty treasurer from collecting the taxes
for the building of the road. The con-
tention OF the league is to be that the
law under which the levy was made
is unconstitutional for the reason that
it was not passed on third reading in
the legislature, but was railroaded
through with lot Of other bills at the
close of the session. 1t is claimed that
an adverse decision has already been
rendered on the poll tax law for this
reason, that being one of the bills rail-
roaded through the legislature at the
time the law authorizing the county
commissioners to levy tax for build
ing public roads was passed

backing a movement to Gust the present
leader, John II. McCooey, are apps rent
on the political horizon across the East

Mayor Is not satisfied with McCooey and

ticed that none OF the organization
men allied with McCooey have been
getting any patronage from the City
Hall. This did not worry the faithful
TO any great extent. as they figured
that NcCooey, through the influence OF
Charles F. Murphy. would pun a strong
oar with Gov. Dix and land some OF his
followers in good State jobs.
GOV. Dix has not responded and there
is a suspicion in Brooklyn that Mayor
Gaynor has the scar. OF the Governor
about Brooklyn appointments.

Tax Commissioner, and owen Murphy.
