AWAY WITH THE MULBERRY!
Sage Of Emperia savageiy Asserts.
that the Tree Is Not What It
Once Was.

There are scores of mulberry trees
in Emporia, and through most of the
year they do the part Of well behaved
trees, spreading thier grateful shade
and adding to the beauty of streets
and parkings.
But at this season the mulberry tree
IS nuisance, says the Emporia Ca
zette, for Its ripening fruit, no longer
esteemed as food for man for the rea-
son that 1t is alive with bugs, drops
ON the walks and lawns and draws
thousands Of flies to feast on the juicy
sweetness. The birds enjoy the null
berries, too, and friends of the birds
like to see them help themselves, but
the fly peril is SO much greater than
any possible good that can come from
the trees that the Gazette would like
TO see every mulberry tree in Emporia
converted into stove wood.
Mulberry trees bordering the side
walks drop their fruit on to the walks
and people must walk through the
sticky. juicy mass-it soon becomes a
nless-and the popular white shoes of
women and girls are stained and soil
ed. The walks are discolored, too,
and more than one scrubbing is re-
quired to remove the stain of crushed
mulberries.
Whether the bugs that now infest
mulberries were in them in the early
days when the berries, combined with
gooseberries or other acid fruit, fur
nished much Of the "pie timber" and
sauce" for the old sets is not known
But If the bugs were in the berries
then, think of the millions Of harm
less bugs those people in the early
days must have consumed.
\ And the berries were eaten raw as
well as cooked, SO there Is no conso-
lation in thinking that perhaps the
bugs were dead before eating. Prob
ably no one eats mulberries now, and
while to cut down the trees would in
some cases deprive people of shade
they could soon be replaced by elms
and the fly peril would be done away
with SO far as the mulberry is con-.
cerned
A dozen or more years ago cam
paign against the cottonwood trees
was started in Emporia, with the re-
suit that dozens of them were cut
dawn and the town was freed of the
annoyance from the flying cotton.
This matter of the mulberry trees
seems even more important.

The Calton News thinks that
republicans who voted for Wilson
fare now democrats or worse. !"
Similarly then all republicans
who voted for Roosevelt are now
'sbrl moosers or worse" Inae,
much as there was rota republic.
an vote cast in South Dakota for
president :he assertion of News
seems to he a case of the pot call
ing the kettle black. The only
difference ia that the Wilson repub
licans voted another ticket from,
necessity while the Roosevelt re-
publ leans deserted their party
from choice, which would seem
from the standpoint Of party loyal.

Twenty five million dollars worth
of nitrogen was taken from South
Dakota soils in 1910 and very
little of it returned. Such is a
startling oposition set forth in
bulletin number 139. just issued
by Professor A. N. Hume of the
State College experiment station at
Brookings. The corn crop alone
consumed eight million dollars
worth OF nitrogen, equal to the
annual mineral wealth of the Black
Hills. The wheat crop used that
much nitrogen and the oat crop
one half as much.
An overwhelming share of it
came out of the soil, and an over
whelming share of it was never re-
turned thereto. Some of it may
have gone in the form of wheat
bran to enrich the soil of Connect
icut or some other eastern state
1t is an unalierable conclusion,
thai, in order for South Dakota to
continue long as prosperous
agricultural state, Its great body of
farmers must desist from des poll.
ing tine land of Nitrogen without
returning it to the soil 1t is CIR
tain that it is possible to reduce
the nitgrogen content of South Da-
kota soils below the limit of pro.
fitable crop production.
This nitrogen can be replaced by
growing such legumes as alfalfa,
clover, field peas, or even sweet
clover. There is no other way
known under heaven whereby we
can get nitrogen into the soil OF
large areas, than to grow legumes
and turn them under. By scien
tific treatment of the soil as indi
Gated in the bulletin, DIR. Hum,

The Curtiss law, which requires
that all referended laws and con-
stituticnal amendments be pub
lisbed in pamphlet form and cir
culated among the voters, proved
a miserable failurein the last cam
paign. The pamphlets we're cir.
oulated, but were scarcely read al
all; the newspapers paid but little
attention to the measures thus sub:
mitted, and the result was that the
great majority Of the voters Wers
forced to cast their ballots with nc
adequate kno Wedge Of the subjec,

It is difficult for this writer to
see how those republicans who
voted the democratic ticket Tues
day throughout the nation have
accomplished anything for the re-.
publican party.-Dell Rapids Tri-
bune.
Well, they succeeded in defeating
the only candidate who had de-
clared his purpose to destroy the
republican party. They succeeded
in executing their executioner, and
that was q pretty good days work
for the republican party.

Much is being said by She papers
now about the Richards law pro-
1yiding for the election of post
masters. As such elections are
participated in only by democrats,
the question is how long does a
man have to be democrat before
he is eligible to vote at such al
election Sioux Falls Press.
We fail to find any authority in
the Richards primary law to war
rant the assertion that only demo-
Gratis can take part in primary
election for postmaster. The law
provides that the candidates must
be enrolled resident party electors,
and also that the signers on the
nominating petition must be resi-.
dent party electors, but no such
restriction is placed Fpon The
voters. On the contrary the law
provides that ballots shall be pro-
yided adequate to supply all voters
in each precinct of the municipality
As the qualifications of candi-
date require that he shall be an
enrolled, resident party elector,
the law would seem to exclude
women as candidates.
