elected at today's meeting of the
National Farmers union. With one
exception all of the old off Gals
were again chosen.
The officers elected are: g. f.
Barrett of Union City, Ga, president !;
w. r. Callicott of Carbondale, Col,
vice president; A. G.. Davis of Rogers,
Ark, secretary and treasurer.
Among the directors selected is p.
w. Cox of Colfax, Wash.
The following are striking points
from Presid ent Barrett's address:
During the past year, and especially
during the past summer, have visit
ed personally all the important state
organizations and all the state con-
ventions. And l come to you with
the message that the Farmers union
is stronger, better drilled in dis
cipline, in finer financial condition
and more inspired with the stern
enthusiasm of sacrifice, of brotherly
love and of cooperation than since
that never to- be-forgotten day when
Newt Gresham launched its first great
principles. States that were pre-
viously Indifferent or laggard, are
going forward by great strides. State
treasurers that once suffered lack of
funds are being placed upon solid
basis. Everywhere north, south,
east and west-the farmer is waking
to the opportunity and the duty of
aftiliating with his brethren, and is
learning the true meaning of the creed
to which he subscribes when he takes
the obligation of mem bership.

enter. In fact it is just this sort of
a place that the average fungus is
likely to enter. Once established,
fungous diseases are most easily carri-
ed from one root to another or from
cane to cane, where crowding is allow
ed, either in the row or in the hill.
When fungous diseases are once
established the best possible methods
of culture should be practiced in an
effort toward their control. AS soon
as the crop is picked the old canes
should be cut out and burned, and,
as far as possible, the dead leaves
raked up and receive the same treat
ment. Some growers seem to think
that this treatment will have weaken
ing effect upon the roots of the plant,
but in almost every case of this kind
that the writer has examined, he has
found plants weakened by disease,
and poor cultural methoCs, or the
natural inactivity of the plant after
bearing heavy crop, rather than any
ill effect from the removal of the old
canes. If the leaves and young canes
are in good condition they will be
able to receive and assimilate any ex-
cess of cell sap which the removal of
the old canes at this time of the year
might cause. Growers of the rasp-
berry and blackberry in the Coast
section will do we'll to use their best
efforts and practice good cultural
methods in trying to control the dis
ease of these plants, which winter
over in the old canes and leaves, and
which so often enter a field where
providing is practiced.- P.

Land Exposition to Be Held
Next November.

SEATTLE Since a million i'm
migrants enter this country annually
by way of New York City, the first
American Land and Irrigation Ex-
position viii be held there next Novem-
Der from the third to the twelfth.
Besides forming the basis for getting
in touch with this steady influx, it is
believed that the exhibit will prove
worthy means for stimulating an in
terest in returning to the land among
the many millions of people living
in and around the metropolis.
Land shows have become quite
popular, since inaugurated in Chicago
several years ago. By bringing
evidences of agricultural possibilities
right into the midst of the populous
districts, they have been found to
possess very beneficial appeal. The
plans for the New York exposition
are the most comprehensive OF any
list which includes more than S1l, 600
in cash prizes and cups for the best
entries in different classes. This list
will induce many farmers to compete.
For the best oats gown in the United
States this summer, splendid silver
trophy valued at 81, 900 has been
donated by President A. j. Earring
of the Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul
Railway. The oats must be taken
from a field of not less than an acre.
No distinction will be made between
irrigated and non irrigated product.
The judges will consider yield, purity
and quality of the grain. Each entry
must consist of at least two bushels
of grain and a bundle showing the
heads and length OF the straw.
The American Land and Irrigation
Company is an Incorporation with
ample capital to insure it's success.
The leading railroads, progressive
states and commercial organizations
have endorsed the project. The
Pa citic Northwest will be we'll rep
resented, for the Chicago, Milwaukee
& Puget Sound Railway and Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway, be-
sides donating one Of the principal
prizes, are gathering comprehensive
exhibit, which will be installed in
commanding position.

Fall Care Of Cane Fruits.

PUYALLUP, Sept, 1.-THE con-
ditions confronting the fruit grower
in Western Washington are different
in many ways from those in other
localities. A few suggestions relative
to good cultural methods toward the
control of some plant diseases, which
could be practiced by growers at this
season, seem to be required.
Two good cultural methods, which
are advocated by some of the best
growers of the blackberry and rasp
berry in the Coast section, and which
will greatly aid in this control are:
thinning of the young shoots and
cutting out and burning the old canes.
Thin out the young shoots. 1t should
have been done earlier in the season,
for best results, while the plants
we're still small. The object of this
thinning is two-fold; first, to make
stronger, healthier canes; and,
second, to produce more vigorous and
better developed fruit buds.
The essentials for growth Of healthy
canes and strong resistant fruit buds
are moisture, air and light. The
plant that is feeding twelve or fifteen
young canes with cell-sap where it
should feed only half that number is
over working. The demand of the top
sooD becomes too great for the roots
to supply, and the plant, no longer
able to resist disease. soon weakens
and dies. When twelve or fifteen
canes are crowded into the space
which should contain but five or
seven, the air and light cannot enter
that space. The tops of the young
canes alone receive these essentials
while the rest of the plant must do
without them. AS result, the fruit
buds which have vitality enough to
develop are weak, sickly things which
open up early the following spring and
are killed by the first night frost.
Crowding the young plants then,
by reducing the moisture, good air,
drainage and light, and by leaving
the young plants weak, affords a
favorable place for plant diseaes to
