PHILIPPINE SUGAR
LANDS IN DEMAND

Manila Cablenews American: The
bureau of lands reports an ever IN
-creasing demand for information re-
garding sugar and copra lands from
people in the United States. The bu-
reau now averages about five or six
of the letters every day and it is only
within the last year that these inqulr-
les have been coming in to any ex-
tent, showing that the people at home
are beginning to hear the right kind
of reports ON the Philippine Islands.
Most of the writer's request infor-
nation regarding sugar and copra
lands; hemp and rubber inquiries are
scarce. After providing all the in
formation possible 1.-THE bureau turns
the letters over to- the local mer-
chants and real estate men in the
hope that they may be able to inter-
est the writer's and, get in touch with
home capital already interested In the
Philippines.
In speaking of land for sugar grow
ing yesterday a prominent land Off
cial told a Cablenews-AmericGn re-
porter that he could not understand
why there were not more people in
the sugar business here 1t was sug-
gested that perhaps the difficulty in
securing suitable tracts of land large
enough to make the business pay was
the cause. The official REPLIED
while it is true that corporation
or individual cannot get enough gov
er1ment land for this purpose there
is no reason why a private individual
cannot go out almost any place in the
provinces and buy from the owners
land suitable to his need at a nominal
price. He could start on a small scale
and increase his holdings from time
to time. When he had his land under
cultivation and producing, and a mill
started, the owners of the surround
ing tracts would see the advisability
of either raising sugar themselves and
selling to the bigger man or sell their
land outright. 1t would not take them
long to see that this would be much
more profitable than raising varied
and uncertain crops as most of them
do now. In this way a live man
could, in a few years, have a holding
and business that would make him
rich. | wish had the capital and OPP
portunity to go into this myself"

TAFT OUTLOOK
FRIGHTENING

| WASHINGTON, August 20.-Chair
man Hilles of the Republican National
Committee was in WASHINGTON today
1t meet the Republican members o.
Congress from the various States md
get a line on the situation in tneir
respective zones. There was NOTHING
sensational about the conferences. II
had teen reported that the notion7l
chairman was coming to the capital to
make the Representatives declare
their stand on the Presidential issue
Every move of the campaign manager
is given a sensational turn by the
sensation-mongers In this case. Hilles
came to meet and talk with the sup
rorters of the Republican ticket be-
fore the members Of Congress scatter
! to their districts on the adjournment
! of Congress.
Five Republicans, who have bce7
classed with the dyed-in-thewool
Progressives, joined the regulars who
met the chairman in the headquarters
of the Republican Congressional cam
paign committee They were La Fol
lette of Washington, Kendall, Wood
and Haughen of Iowa and Rees Of
Kansas.
HiIIes Hears Good News.
During the dav Hilles also had
long conference with President Taft.
and tonight he planned campaign af-
fairs with Senator Crane of Massachu-
sets and others, who will take lead
ing part in the fight in behalf of the
President Incident to the chairman
visit. it was announced that George K.
Sheldon again will serve as treasurer
of the Republican National Commit
tee.
Hilles is feeling more optimistic as
a result of his observations in New
York and Chicago since he took up
the campaign work than are many
Republicans who have viewed the sit
uation merely from the Washington
end. Everybody admits that the ear
lv signs have been favorable to VIII
son, but those who feel the pulse of
the voters where voters live have
been pledging their faith to change
of sentiment before the November
election. Mr.. Hilles told those VINO
met him that he was particularly en-
cCuraged by the things he heard dur
ing his recent visit to Chicago: The
Illinois leaders. he declared. feel GER
tain of carrying that State.
Hard Fight In KANSAS.
1t was made known today that the
fight in Kansas will be carried to the
last ditch. It was asserted that the
leaders of the Bull Moose movement
in the Sunflower State are getting
"cold feet with respect to the fore
ing of the Roosevelt Electors upon the
regular Republican ticket. Whereas. it
was indicated a short time ago that
Kansas had been practically abandon
ed by the Taft forces, it now appears
that an effort will be made to carry
the State for the President. Last night
the Taftites won their point for an
injunction to prevent county clerks
from placing the names Of Roosevelt
Electors on the Republican ticket. 1t
is predicted that the Supreme Court
OF the State will refuse to take juris-
diction of the contest between the fac
tons on the ground that political par
ties are voluntary. organizations anil
that the national governing board is
all powerful in settling intra-party dis

Notes On Hog-Raising.

\. !. Lovejoy, the famous hog
breeder Of Illinois. once stated that
d hog gained 400 pounds on an
acre of clover.
While clover is a close second to
alfalfa as a hog pasture. if it does
not take front rank, as many farm
ers believe-some grain must be
Ted IN order to make quick and big
gain.
As a single ration, alfalfa comes
nearest to filling all the require
ments Of a hog that is trying to
get fat.
Are the young pigs to be allow
ed to shlver and freeze in the cold
damp winds OF early spring? And
die at the rate Of one to five out OF
every ten:

duce tlurnps III young pigs. Give
them slops composed of shorts and
middllngs and only a little corn
and that once a day.

Dairy Notes.

1t the dairymen could come into
direct contact with the people who
eat their butter, there would be less
need Of discussing the subject Of
making a better grade Of butter.
Ny advice to the dairy farmer
is to be more independent, raise
more corn. oats, clover: grind
them together and cut out the large
iced bills which are knocking all
the profits from the business.
h growing d heifer for the
dairy muscular vitality is wanted
rather than fat, and this is obtain
ed very largely from the skim-milk
portion Of its diet.
1t requires money to get out and
buy good dairy COWS, but it takes
brains to raise them. and the mar
who has worked for years in build
ing up a herd OF fine dairy cow
has 4 right to be proud OF hi
achievements.

pear and apple never make d good
union.
Peach CRAFTS start vigorously 0
a%pricots, and piunls upon the peach
trees.
Growth IN diameter Of the tree only
takes place in d very small region be
tween the bark and the ~sap-wood.
This pa,t of the stem is called the
cambium. and in his thin layer Of It's
sue the cells are still active while the
activity Of each succeeding layer on
each side grows less and less.
h important point in grating is
TO see that the camblum layers OF
the took and the scion are matched
at some point. When the growth is
active We say the bark ''peels." Bud
ding is done during this period, not
only because the ease with which the
bark separates from the wood sim
pli1ies the work OF inserting the bud,
but as the growth is more active the
tissues OF the bud and the stock are
more likely to unite.
It Toe not pay to graft trees which
show poor growth, II it seldom pays
to top-work any crab. 1t is also queS-
tionable us 20 whether it pays to top
work StOne-frult trees. While good
tops nay be grown on either peach,
| apricot or almond, it is doubtful
whether these crops will bear much
quicker returns tha, young trees sci
in the place of fhe old ones.
There are various methods Of graft

ing cleft and kerf grating. These %

off suuarely. the stub split down about
two inches with the grating chisei
and the clefts WedScd open with tbs

below the top Of the wedge, cuttins

The scion is then driven firmly int

1t is important that the inner bari
