. Proper elevation of the site with re-
epect to the surrounding land Is an
important factor, since 1T gives good
water and good air drainage. Cold air
settles to the lower levels and may
cause damaging frosts on low lying
lands, narrow valleys, or pockets"
when orchards on higher elevations on
sloping sites will escape damage.
Every community has clearly de-
fined frost line above which an or
chard may be planted with little dan
ger of injury from frosts. Elevated
sites will produce fruit OF higher color
and freer from fungous blemishes. Ad-
vantage should be taken of the varied
exposures our hillsides afford by To-
eating the orchard on a slope which Is
protected from the storms of wind and
sleet which may prevail in that partlc-
ular section.
An easily available and plentiful wa.
ter supply is a necessity which IN
creases with the age of the trees, as
it takes 4 large amount OF water TO
properly spray the orchard.
The price of land may. sometimes be
sa determining factor in locating the
orchard. II the higher cost OF land
situated in well-developed fruit sec
tion is prohibitive and favorable con
.ditions are found in an undeyeloped
section, one need not hesitate to
choose the. latter. The larger the
painting that can be made in this case
the easier it will be to dispose of the
crop.
The success of any orchard will de
pend in large measure upon the wise
choice OF varieties. A common mis-
take is to plant too many varieties. o.
those not well adapted to soil and eli
matte conditions, or to the market II
which the fruit is sold For local
market, succession Of high quality
varieties should be selected ant
enough Of each kind planted TO be 9

HOUSE PASSES DIRECT
ELECTION OF SENATORS
Measure With Rristow Amendment
for Federal Control Is Carried by
a Vote of 237 to 80.

Washington, May 15.-The house
Monday broke a deadlock which has
existed nearly year by passing the
resolution declaring for an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for the direct election of United
States senators. The resolution has
already passed the senate. The
gress, must be ratified by three
fourths of the state legislatures be-
fore it will become law.
A number of states have by resolu-
ton declared for direct election OF
senators. This action has no force,
however, as has the action Of the
legislatures that have ratified the in
come tax amendment
The Bristow amendment, which was
the cause Of the deadlock, reserves to
the federal government supervision OF
the time, manner and place of holding
senatorial elections. The final vote
on the amendment was 237 to 80.
The final scratch of the pen neces-
sary to submit the joint resolution
providing for the popular election OF
senators was made when Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman signed the engrossed
parchment. 1t had been approved
earlier by Speaker Clark.
The joint resolution does not re-
quire the signature of President Taft.
1t will be transmitted directly to the
state department and subsequently
sent to the proper authorities in each
state for presentation to the various
legislature for ratification.

SAYS MEAT INSPECTION
IN NEW YORK A JOKE
Ex-Inspector Testfies Abattoir Owners
Fail to Comply With Health or
Sanitary Regulations.

Washington, May 17.-Dr. John A
Laddey, former government meat in
spector who testified before the house
committee investigating the meat in
spector service of the United States,
on Monday, prefaced his testimony on
Wednesday by this statement:
There is not one of the twenty or
more packing houses in New York that
complies with the federal sanitary reg
ulations, there is not one which slaugh-
tiers meat-producing animals in man
ner intended to best safeguard the pub
lie health, there is not one that gen
timely exhibits respect for an in
spector's orders when he attempts to
remedy conditions, nor one that would
not permit worse conditions to exist
were it not for the weak, restraining
now place upon them"
,Laddey's testimony resolved itself
into the most startling revelations of
the abuses in the meat inspection serv-
ice and Of the utter disregard of health
and sanitation that has yet been pro-
duced.
Il know as fact" declared Doctor
Laddey, that whenever the packers
object to some ruling or regulation in
the meat inspection service, all that is
necessary to have 1t changed as they
wish is a visit to Washington. This
is common gossip from the incense
quential employe of a packing house
to those in authority. Their attitude
toward an inspector is one of super
f1uous contempt. The majority of an
inspectors condemnation rulings are
reversed by his superiors."
This conditions, he said, led him to
tender his resignation.
II felt that l could not longer re-
main government meat inspector
and retain my self-respect," said Doc
tor Laddey.
According to ]. w. Burroughs, who
was formerly an inspector of meat I'M
der the Jurisdiction of the department
of agriculture and who gave testimony
before the house committee Monday
on expenditures in that department,
the standard of meat inspection had
gone lower every year since the pres
ent law went into effect in 1906.
At the present time, according to
the witness, conscientious inspectors
regard their presence in packing
houses as something merely perfume
tory.

BUSINESS DEAL BY A KING
KaIakaua Sold to His Legislature
Some Cannon Given Him by the
Austrian Emperor.

The digging up of three rusty-but
loaded and ready to go of-shens in
Kapiolani Park recently, and the facts
of their history as dug up for the Ad-
vertiser started a flood Of old-t1me
revolution" "reminiscences, one OF the
most interesting of which dealt with
the presentation to Hawaii of the par
ticular Austrian battery with which.
the old shells were connected. 1t ap-
pears that when King Kalakaua was
making his royal tour of Europe, be-
ing entertained by kings and emper-
ors, he wandered to the capital of the
Austrian monarch, Emperor Franz Jo-
seph. By way Of impressing upon his
Sandwich island royal cousin the
greatness of Austria-Hungary, the
emperor took Kalakaua to a grand
field review, where Austrian gunners
shot holes in targets to demonstrate
the Austrian field pieces had no peers
existing, especially when Austrian
marksmen sighted them.
Kalakaua was properly impressed,
so much so, in fact, that he Ventured
to ask the price of a battery, such as
he had seen in use. He intimated that
he might find business, at the Cross
roads of the Pacific, for just such
wicked implements of death, especial
ly as the Supremacy Of the Pacific"
idea was incubating in his headpiece.
He was told, very politely, that Aus
trials cannons were not on the market,
but that, as from monarch to monarch,
the ruler Of Austria might make the
ruler of the Sandwich islands a gift
Of a few guns. The gift was made
and Kalakaua shipped his battery to
Honolulu, where it was used later in
Kapiolani Park to scatter the revolu-
tionists out against the republic and
perched along Diamond Head ridge.
The sequel to the presentation is the
funny part of the story, however.
Kalakaua came home in triumph
from his trip, and his Austrian guns
barked out welcome salute, which
reminded him. The trip had cost
money, even if there had been no no.
tel bills, so Rex sat him down and
made out a bill to the legislature for
his guns. The figures on the bill
called for $4,000, which the legisla-
ture had to appropriate and pay over
to the private treasurer Of the royal
household.
For a gift, those guns came high

MEMORIAL DAY EDICT
ANNUAL PROCLAMATION ISSUED
BY GOV. MGOVERN.
Wisconsin Executive Urges Wide
Observance of Festival in Honor
of the Nations Dead.

Madison.-The formal proclama-
ton of Gov Francis E. McGoyern,
designating May 80 as Memorial day
throughout the state of Wisconsin,
has been issued The text OF the
proclamation follows:
''Half a century ago our country
was engaged in most desperate
struggle to preserve its integrity ana
to maintain it's place among the ma
tions of the earth Nearly three mil
lion men in the strength of early man
hood and in the prime OF life OF
fered their services in her defense
Within four years one out OF every
six of these found grave IN the
south or returned only to be laid tot
rest in the quiet of Gods acre on
the hillsides and praries of the north.
For fifty years, since the warfare
ceased, the grand army OF the dead
has been constantly recruiting from
the grand army of the living, until
now but few remain personally to
remind us of the heroism of that
crisis.
''It is most fitting that the living
who inherit the glory and reap the
rich rewards such warfare has
wrought shall devote one day each
year to honor the memory of those
who have answered the last roll call.
"But as the nation mourns its sol
der and sailor dead, families, too,
mourn loved ones, gone never to re-
turn. While veterans plant the flag
of our country on the graves of their
comrades and children bring their Of
fering of flowers, it is fitting time
for families also to visit the last rest
ing place of their departed and Of
fer tokens of their affection for
them.
elm accord, therefore, with the
long established and cOmmendable
usage, |, Francis E. McGovern, gov
ernor of the state of Wisconsin, here
by designate and appoint Thursday,
May 80, 1912, as Memorial day, and
l earnestly recommend that every
citizen of the state give his assist
ance and encouragement in making
it's observation worthy of the occa-
sion and in keeping with the exalted
sentiments and sacred recollections
