MOON CASE APPEALED.
Supreme Court Will Hear Davenport
Charter Cities QUESTION.

Davenport. May THE appeal made
by the state Of Iowa to the supreme
court asking for a reversal Of Judge
Theophilus' decision in the Scott coun-
ty district court, declaring that the
Moon law, regulating the number Of
saloons, does not apply to special char
ter cities, was sent to Des Moines for
filing.
The lower court held that the Moon
law did not apply to Davenport. spe-
cial charter city, because the law did
not SO state in it's context. The state
claimed that the Moon law is an
amendment to the mulct law. and as
the latter applies to special charter
cities, the amendment also applies.
Whether Davenport shall have over
100 or only 43 saloons depends on the
courts decision.

THREE BROTHERS,

The writer has in mind three broth.
ers who ten or twelve years ago were
just starting out on their own hook.
They came of good family, but one in
straitened financial condition. They
did not set up whine because of this
seeming handicap nor cuss the govern
ment, the existing economic order nor
Providence because of it. Rather they
got busy and began to saw wood. They
worked, and worked hard. Nor did
they spend what they earned foolishly
on things that would sap rather than
strengthen their vital force-their eff
cheney as workingmen. Instead of ca
rousing nights, as did so many of
their fellows of like age, they slept So
that they might work the harder next
day. The upshot? Today each Of the
three has a fine farm of a quarter sec.
ton or more, which if not paid for in
full will be soon. They are all respect.
ed and honored in their respective com.
munities. Some other fellows who
played with these same boys i'll school
and are now grown men are still in
the hand to mouth brigade and couldn't
borrow $50 at their local bank, and one
or two of them couldn't buy bushel
of potatoes on tick. If you were to ask
these fellows how it wGs those three
brothers got ahead they would proba.
bly, attribute it to good luck. This con
tention may be true in one narrow
sense-namely, they were lucky enough
to be endowed with good horse sense

ciple of sowing and reaping Many q
young fellow in his teens today who is
leading purposelcss life or worse
might do well to take himself off in a
corner and talk things over and make
up his mind whether twenty years
hence he wants to be in deeper rut
than he is in today or have some prop
erty and bank account. He might
also we'll ponder on the good luck
factor which entered into the success
of these three brothers.

THE THINNING OF FRUIT.

Those who are engaged in the fruit
growing business in a serious way
for profit rather than pastime-con-
slider the thinning of fruit as essen
tial part of the enterprise as prun-
ing. spraying and cultivation. In times
past. when in many an apple orchard
the fruit was shaken off the tree or
knocked off with a rake or pole, the
points of quality and size of fruit
were not so important, and the thin
ming of it was therefore quite super
fluous But in these later days, with
box fruit retailing at from $3.50 to
81 per box, quality is of prime con-
sideration, and thinning is made neces-
sary. The thinning process not only
results in larger and more uniform
size of fruit, but makes it possible to
eliminate In the process fruit that Is
defective or injured. Besides this, it
relieves the trees of an overload and
makes 1t easier to get them into the
annual bearing habit The work Of
thinning should be done when the ap
pies are about an inch In diameter.
and they should not be left on the
trees nearer than seven inches apart
This will seem pretty thin just after
the job is done, but when the apples
are full grown the trees will have all
they should bear. 1t Is quite natural
the first time the job Is done to re-
move only about half of the fruit that
needs throwing on the ground. with
the necessity arising later of doing
the job again when the apples are
half grown. What is said above of
apples applies with equal force to
peaches and pears, with the exception
that the latter fruits need thinning
to but from four to six inches. depend

THE OYSTER SHELL SCALE.

This insect seems to be a second
cousin to the San Jose scale. but is less
destructive to the orchard. due chief
ly to the fact that the female oyster
scale produces but one batch of 100
eggs or less. while the female of the
latter scale produces ten genera tons
of 400 or more young in single
season. In both Instances thorough
spraying with concentrated lime sui
phur solution is recommended during
the winter months. For a summer
spray for the oyster shell scale black

the rate of one to seventy has been
found to give good satisfaction. and

USING ROCK PHOSPHATE.

While ground rock phosphate is one
of the very best commercial fertilizers
that can be used on depleted SOIL it is
well to keep in mind the fact that its
fertilzing value IS greatly lessened If
scattered on the surface of the soil as
one would scatter ground limestone.
The most effective way of using the
fertilizer is mixing small quantities of
it on the manure and scattering it
with that. Certain chemical reactions
are necessary for the phosphate to
break up and assume an available
form. and the presence of the manure
hastens this. The next best method of
applying the phosphate is to scatter
it on the surface of the soil just be
fore turning under a growth of green
manure

of popular or representative govern

is that it is more often shown In the

gumption nor the patriotism to get out

ness or self interest of this class, who
would rather add half dollar to their

in office, that the rotten political con-
ditions in many sections of the country
are due.
