A Good lesson for Orchardists

Horticultural Inspector Flint ar
rived in town on the Str. Islander
NJ onday evening, leaving on Tues
day morning for Olga. where he
made another examination Of 600
Young apple trees which were ship
ped there by a Seattle nursery. The
trees were infested with oyster
ahell bark lice. .woolly aphjg aDd
green aphis. Mr.. Flint took charge
of them some time ago, but did not
destroy them. as was reported at
the time. He has taken pains to
nrotect the interests of the buyer
and the nursery men in so far as he
could within the requirements OF
the law. He destroyed 9 part OF
the trees and fumigated the others.
The horticultural Inspectors OF
the state are making strong fight
to clean up the orchards in their
districts. Their efforts have met
with great success and the districts
;n which they have worked now
produce a far better grade Of fruit
than before. They are Of the opin-
ion that if the orchard owners Of
the state will join with themin their
work western Washington can raise
fruit that will Re edual 70 that Of

Grow Small Fruits
For Canning

Quite an effort is being made in
fruit growing districts of Washing
ton to encourage the growing of
small fruits, especial emphasis be-
ing given to Cuthbert rsapberries,
Logan and blackberries. Horticul-
turaI inspectors are advising this
line IF work. In brief interview
with Inspector C. E. Flint, of the
Whatcom-San Juan district. we
learn that the average yield OF
the Cuthbert raspberry, where it
has been grown most extensively
in this state, is 800 crates per acre.
Mr.. Flint says he knows of one in
stance where 900 crates were har-
vested from single acre. Cannery-
men are offering to contract for the
entire product of the various kinds
for five years at four cents per 10.
for Cuthberts, 3ac. for Logans ard
Sc. for blackberries, furnish boxes
and pay freight. Figuring upon
the average yield Of 800 crates of
Cuthberts per acre we have $4,000
per acre and deducting thirty cents
per crate for picking leaves $4,000
per acre. With proper care the
bushes are good for a lifetime.
Mr.. Flint says he was in a patch
last summer that had been bearing
for thirty years.
The Logan's and blackberries are
equally profitable, for they bear
enough better and the cost of pick
ing is enough less to make up for
the difference in price.
The, canneries also want strawber-
ries, beans. rhubarb and pears. For
continuous employment Mr.. Flint
suggests the following succession:
strawberries, pears. beans, rhubarb,
Loganberries, Cuthbert raspberries,
Snyder blackberries and, lastly,
evergreen blackberries. He thinks
these varieties, planted at the rate
of about half an acre each for one
side of ten acre field. with one
|cornef of the other side occupied
by dwelling house and the rest Of
the space devoted to growing forage
for cows, would give ideal out
door employment, admirably adapt
ed to the soil and climate of our San
Juan islands.
This j. ductry is being urged and
encouraged by Mr.. j. E. Moore,
the canneryman at East Sound, who
is offering inducements to land
owners living tributary to- his can
merry, which will almost surely re-
suit in turning the efforts of many
into this line of work. The Island
er is seeking for more information
on this subject to give our readers
later. Though from what we al
ready know, we consider it as being
a good propositlon-one of the best
ever offered certain portions of this
county.

The Science of Road
And Bridge Building

The science of road building in
the United States is undergoing a
rapid change, and the methods OF
road construction that were consid-
cred standard a few years ago are
now out of date. In the. past eight
years nearly forty thousand miles OF
improved highways have been built
in this country, and it is being real
lied that with the need for more
and better roads an improved sys-
tenn of administration is necessary
The Bureau of Roads at Washington
is doing this with as little expense
to the general government as posi-
bile. Last year, for instance, it put
in forty-two Of what is known a:
"object lesson roads," This road
is built with local money where a
community wants to improve its
highway system. The Bureau of
Roads sends an expert to the locali-
ty ami he tells the authorities what
kind of a road they can build with
the money available. Usually a
mile of the type of road selected is
built under the direction of the bu-
reau's expert and the local authori-
ties complete the work. these fifty
| two sample" roads constructed
last year represented an outlay OF
$780, 900, while the governent's
part of the cost amounted only to
$40, 900.
"Often local communities call for
road advice and an expert from the
bureau is assigned them to study
their needs and advise them what
roads to improve and upon the
character of the improvements need.
ed. 1t has been found that local
communities lose more proper ton.
ately over bridge construction than
over road work. This is special
lied type of. construction about
which town councils and, county
commissioners know but little, and
many contractors are in the habit
of putting in any ort Of az bridge
and at as low cost as possible.
The result has been TO force the
road officers into the study OF
bridge-building, and there is now
in the Bureau Of Roads a depart
ment to deal with this problem
From this department there have
recently been made nearly two hun
died assignments Of experts to give
advice. their services being distribu.
ted over some twenty states. Lbs
model road system is another form
of help which ha, been given to To-
cal communities. This involves the
study of local conditions and the
drawing up Of comprehensive
schemes for present and future road
Improvement.
The road milage of the United
States, exclu.ive of Alaska and the
islands, is 2.210,857. OF this only

HE PEOPLES FORUM.
A Correspondent Wants To know
Why, If Senator Speioher Is SO
Strong On Temperance, He Was So
RoundIy Applauded By The Liquor
Men

To the Editor of The Republican.
The writer attended the debate be-
tween Mr.. Anderson and Senator
Speicher on Tuesday night Both the
speakers contended strongly for tenn
perance but an Inconsistency struck me
in the fact that whenever the Senator
said anything against the use and sale
Of liquor Mr.. William Miller, the only
whisky distiller in Garrett county, led
the applause and he was ably seconded
in his efforts by nearly every liquor
dealer in Oakland
That an effort was made and to some
extent carried out to pack the meeting
with the whisky element is evident
from the fact that a certain resident of
Deer Park, who was supposed to be
lined up with the temperance people of
the county, offered and IN several in
stances paid the expenses of known en-
emies Of the temperance cause to come
to Oakland and root for the Senator.
Notwithstanding the protestations of
the Senator that he is a straight tenn
perance man the activity of the whiskey
crowd in his behalf looks bad on its
face and the only conclusion that can
be drawn Is that the Senator s temper
ance attitude Is better understood by the
whiskey people than it is by those hold
ing opposite views.
A SPECTATOR.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1912-10-03
He has gotten off the old story that |

ne has gotten OH the OlQ story CDdC
do not want TO pass any local option bill.
He evidently is not anxious to keep me
in the state; then why didn't he do
something for the people and get rid of
me at the same time by passing the bill
and putting me out of job?
The Senator denies that he made any
pledge to the league to vote for the
leagues bill. He is caught in his own
trap. If he had pledged himself to
vote for the leagues bill he might have
had some justification, but in order to
show his own independence he pledged
himself to vote for "a" statewide local
option bill, and yet when a statewide
local option bill came up he voted to
destroy its statewide character.
Then he says in defense of his vote
for the hostile amendments that much
good legislation would have died and
that the Governor would not call a spe-
cial session because the enemies of the
bill would have talked till the close of
the session in order to defeat it, Then
how does the Senator justify his vote
with the liquor men against the rule
which would have permitted majority
of the senate to get action and shut off
debate which was not in good faith?
The Senator says that some of the
supporters of the bill who voted for its
passage IN it's amended form came and
asked him to vote against it. If this is
true, then they used him for the goat,
which is nothing to be proud of.
The Senator says that he helped to
make Grantsville and Friendsville dry"
and then asked if have done that much
in the state. l was doing pretty well
last winter until Specher got in the
way and by his vote prevented Oakland
and all the rest of the state from hav-
ing chance.

SCHOONER LEONARD AGROUND.
Unsuccessful Efforts to Float Her
Made by the Apache.

The bay schooner Mollie ". Leonard,
hard and fast ashore In Black Walnut
cove. on Chesapeake bay, resists all eff
forts to float her, in spite Of the fact that
the revenue cutter Apache has made sew
eral attempts to do SO in the last week.
The schooner was carried ashore in a
gale over q week ago and on an unusually
high tide, so that when the tide fell. on
she was left with only little water
about her. Soon after the stranding Of
the schooner the Apache went to her. but
owing tor low water could do nothing.
Chances looked more favorable Wednes-
day, but though the big cutter pulled on
the little schooner for some time, she
was unable to bulge her. AS soon as the
tide conditions are favorable another eff
fort to pull her into deep water will be
made The Leonard suffered no injury,
It Is stated, by going on the beach.
The Mollie v. Leonard is.owned at Bal

The overhauling and painting of the
Mount Vernon and Marshall Hall line
steamer Charles Manchester. which has
been in progress for the past six weeks
or longer, is about completed. and early
