SCIENCE ~ STREET CLEANING

Following its complaint Of dirt and
Women's Municipal League now suggests
to the Board Of Estimate and Apportion-
ment new methods in the Street Clean
ing Department. "A little scientific
management is needed, the women
think, TO produce better results. They
put forward a plan which seems TO them
more suited to the city's needs than a
method Of garbage collection that has
not been improved upon in half a CEN
fury" Their proposal IS that sealed
rcCeptacles for. ashes and garbage, built
after a model fixed by the city authOri-
ties. should be collected daily in auto
mobile trucks. transported direct TO gar
hage disposal plants, there emptied and
washed and then redistributcd TO the
hOuSeholderS OF course. this system
would necessitate duplicate reCeptacleS
for each establishment, unless the mu-
nicipality owned supply Of them, which
the women consider preferable.
There are some obvious advantages in
tLe lchSuf SuSStSttu ~ Sl'u over Tue
present method Of garbage collection.
The tightly closed receptaclcs would
mean much less dirt and much more pro-
lection TO health than uncovered ash
carts and garbage carts whose covers
are more or less mythical. The night
system Of collecting ashes and garbage
which the Street Cleaning Commissioner
is extending to all sections Of Manhattan
and Brooklyn is a great improvement
over daylight collection, but dumping an
overfowing ash can into an open wagon
at night makes as much dirt in the street
as it would in the daytime, even if so
many people aren't abroad TO catch the
dust in eyes and noStrils. Collection Of
the garbage cans in big automobile
trucks, without the process Of enptying
the cans into the wagon and then empty
ing the wagon at some dump, would en-
able the same number of men TO do more
work in removal Of ashes and garbage.
On the whole, the scheme has rather
taking look about IT. but there may be
observation-disclosures for eXample-which
don't appear on the surface.

PLANT LlCE-A WARNING.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The abundance OF plant lice eggs
on twigs sent to this Office and numerous
aphiis upon young apple leaves are typical
OF conditions obtaining in 1902 a year when
injury by these prolific pests was eXcep-
tionally severe. We then heard for the first
time OF "aphs" apples. Apparently all
that IS required is a continuation OF the
cool. backward weather to duplicate tho
outbreak Of three years ago. The reason
for this IS that the plant lice multiply
rapidly at rather low temperatures. while
their natural enemies, such as lady beetles
or lady bugs, flower flies and small para
sites. are comparatively inactive under such
conditions.
II is obviously advisable to watch devel-
opmcnts closely. and If the aphdS become
excessively abundant spray before the
leaves are badly curled and the pests there
fore nearly inaccessible. using "A whale oil
soap solution zone pound TO six or seven
gallons OF watcr), a Kerosene emulsion Uhe
standard formula diluted with nine parts
OF water or n tobacco solution. There are
several excellent tobacco preparations On
the market. 1t is essential in control work
of this character to hit the pests with IN
secticidc The necessity for this spraying
must be determined in large measure by
local conditions and the probability OF cool
weather continuing long enough so that II
is unsafe to depend upon natural enemies.
There is an excellent opportunity for the
exercise OF judgment by the practical fruit
grower Il. L. FELT,
State Entomologist.

TIE MERITS or THE WAY
QUESTION.


The subway dispute reyolvcS about
two questons-namely, whether the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company should
have the link between Brooklyn ana
lower Manhattan that it wants ana
whether it should have switching facili-
ties in lower Manhattan TO send back up
! town some of its Broadway trains. The
Public Service Commission says it should
not have these two things. \ majority
of the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment holds that it should. Must all
that has been accomplished toward the
solution of the subway problem he put
| in jeopardy by so trivial a dispute as
this? Fortunately, the latest reports IN
dicate disposition TO get together.
In laying out routes reasonable re-
gard should be shown to the preferences
Of the company that is to operate them
| That has always been the practice or
the city Many Of the routes that make
up the dual subway system we're laid
out at the suggestion of the traction COM
panies. No weighty reason has been adj

in regard to the downtown link between
| Brooklyn and Manhattan which is now
! the subject of controversy. Not only
/ does the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment support the Brooklyn company
| in its preference for Whitehall street, but
the lnterborough company apparently
! has no objection TO the Brooklyn com
pany'S getting what it wants, provided
only that the present obstacle TO closing
bargain with its bankers is promptly
| removed.
| For the Public Service Commissions
/ solitary inSistence upon the Beaver street
route Chairman Wilcox gives the reason
| that q change 10 the Whitehall street
route would cost 100000. Cost IS,
after all. more the concern of the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment than Of
the Public Service Commission. The
Board of Estimate and Apportionment
has 10 furnish the money, and If it does
not object to the 100000 additional
COST that comparatively trifling differ
/ ence ought not TO be fatal obstacle
Moreover, the 100000 may be well ex-
pended if excessive curves are thereby
avoided and if the capacity Of the sub
way to serve the people by taking them
where they want TO 90 is increased.
As to stub ends, or switching facili-
ties. it is impossible to see how the Man
haitian subways which it is proposed 70
award to the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company can be operated to their full
extent without them. Without means of
turning back trains at the South Ferry
the situation would be the same that it
would be in the existing subway without
such facilities. No more trains could be
operated on the four tracks in Manhat-
tan than could be sent through the two
track tunnel TO Brooklyn. The public
will not get the utmost use Of the Brook
lyn Rapid Transit COmpany's lines in
Manhattan without the switching facill-
ties that the Board Of Estimate and Ap-
portionment is insisting upon.

mnnt of lands now worked at loss,
means more money on deposit. more
utilization of capital in improvements.
Agricultural education IS doing much
! TO solve the farmers problems and take
care OF the unworked land and aban-
doned farms. It is producing the farm
crs who are specialists and who run
their farms as carefully in attention to
the details of cost and efficiency as the
most up-tO-date manufacturer in his
scientifically organized factory. 1t Is
dOtting this state with 'mOdel farms
which produce handsome incomes for
their owners. with orchards which put
on the market apples as fine in appear
ance as and finer in flavor than the
Wanted Western fruit. and with dairieS
whose customers need not fear ill-ad-
vScd attempts to break down the legal
standards OF purity and richness for
milk. At the same time, as more at
tention IS given to this subject and more
money spent on it by the state, the
populations Of some distinctively rural
agricultural counties are decreasing an
nually and farmers sons going into
other business. Lack Of capital to de-
vclop their land so as to make It pay,
lack Of social pleasures and protests Of
the women against the emptiness and
drudCery Of their life, all contribute to
the abandonment Of the farm.
The interest the bankers and the bust.
ness men Of the country are showing
in this problem is hopeful. Technical
education in seeds and soil values will
not alone rcpOpulate deserted farms and
work the waste places. II attention IS
given TO the financial and social prob
lens Of the farmers life by other ele-
mcnts in the community concerned in
their solution than the farmers them
selves, they are likely to lose their ter
rorS soon.

THE LOGIC OF ILLITERATE TMMI-
GRAFTON.

Opposition to the proposal i'll the pend
| ing Dillingham; bill to exclude from this
country some-by no means all--of the
adult aliens who cannot read and write
either the English language or their own
| is based, as we have seen, on some i'm.
pressive grounds. Sentimcntally it is rep
resented that many Of these illiterate i'm
migrants have been officially deprived of
school opportunities in the old countries,
| and that we should not penalize them for
thus suffering the results of oppression.
Practically 1t is urged that these Hitter
ateS may be valuable wOrkmen and bet
ter citizens than many educated idlerS
and crooks. There is force in both Of
these argumente.
There are some other considera tons.
however which are pertinent, logical and
inevitable. 1t is recognized as unde-
sirable to accumulate here n large il
literate element in the population. Yet
that is precisely what must happen if we
admit illiterates without making ade-
quate provision for their instruction.
1t would therefore seem to be logically
incumbent upon those who advocate the
free admission of immigrants without
the test of literaCy to take the initiative
in suggesting and providing WAYS and
means for instructing them after their
arrival here, at least to a sufficient ex-

sAyATORIA FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

SANATORIA FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
The commission which was appointed
by the British government to investigate
the treatment of tuberculous diseases
particularly in hospitals or sanatOria
has made a report which will be Of no
less interest and value here than In
Great Britain. 1t will, indeed, be Of pc
culiar interest in this country, in view
Of the extent to which sanatoria for tn
berculous patients are now being estab-
lished and also of the controversies
which are still maintained concerning
their utility and Of the opposition to
them which is manifested in many
places.
The report is emphatically favorable
TO the sanatorium system Of treatment
That does not, Of course, mean that all
patients should be confined in such In
stitutions. 1t is, on the contrary, recOg-
nized that the pr; ate administration Of
the same methods Of treatment is in
many cases possible, and in such cases Is
doubtless for some reasons preferable.
But what is insisted upon is that this
treatment should be made available for
all persons suffering from tuberculOus
ailments, and TO that end sanatoria
should be provided. 1t is urged also
that dispensaries be provided, to serve
as receiving houses, centres Of diagnosis
and general information bureaus, as well
as agencies for curative treatment.
These should be provided, the commits
sion thinks, at the rate of one for every
10000 or 100000 in urban populations,
and FOR smaller numbers in more scat
tered rural regions. The whole number
Of such dispensaries recommended for
establishment in the United Kingdom is
from 225 to 300.
The commission recognizes the fact
that treatment in sanatoria has not al
ways fulfilled expectations. This is be-
cause OF the neglect of early symptoms
through public ignorance Of their signif-
canoe and OF the need Of the promptest
treatment possible: because Of the adj
mission and continued treatment of un-
suitable cases because Of the omission
of proper care after leaving the sana-
toria, and because Of the inability always
10 man sanatoria with expert physicians
and their consequent management more
as homes than as therapeutic institu-
TONS These unfavorable conditions are

ENCOURAGING FARHING,

The movement within the executive
council Of the National Bankers AssO-
citation TO promote agricultural educa-
ton is interesting in showing that the
back TO the soil creed is not finding
its only converts among those pinchcd
by the high cost of living in cities. It's
economic Importance is coming TO be
recognized by the community at large,
and proselyters are springing up In new
places. At least one of the large East
ern railroads maintains well equipped
bureau TO distribute information regard
ing farm lands, their cost and quality,
the nature of the soil and crop condi-
tons and farms for sale along its route
The railroads managers know that each
new farmer along It's line eventually
means more railroad business. Just so

waste lands, CT the profitable employ

newspaper caused man who knew he
was right because he had seen II in print"
to lose bet which was paid after the
files of The Tribune had been consulted.
Speaking OF the subway traffic the man had
asserted that the receipts for 1911 had been

the figures in print" The figures, how
ever, referred to the number of tickets sold
To have collected that amount for the
