commended.
Prof. Scholl recommended the i'm
mediate destruction of diseased
parts as soon as discovered.
"A winter spray to kill black root
in vineyards was recommended and
the speaker urged hat all vines be
sprayed at least three times during
the season to kill off all pests which
attack the growing fruit.
POwdering mildew and root rot
was treated and fruit farmers whose
vines are troubled with them were
urged to send to the state depart
ment Of agriculture to get advice as
to the best ways to overcome the
troubles. The speaker laid a great
deal Of stress on the danger Of in
fictitious diseases invading the state
, by the Importation of fruits and
vegetables from Mexico.
He advocated that measures be
taken in border communities to pro-
tect Texas farmers from diseased
plants being imported. Instances OF
, the ravages done by the orange
maggot On citrus fruits were given
to show the necessity of this action
on the part of fruit growers OF

tissues and recommended that all
such parts be killed and removed as
500 after discovery as possible.
A winter spray was suggested to
kill the spores of black root which
has been infesting vineyards in this
section recently, and urged that all
grape vines be sprayed at least three
times each summer to rid the vines
of pests which are common to them.
He further urged a more active CO.
operation on the part of all vine
grower to rid this section of grape
vine disease which now infest it.
Root rot which has recently be-
come commo throughout the Val
ley, he told his auditors il
could be cured only by improving
the drainage of the vineyards. He
suggested that only native stock be
used and that healthy shoots Of the
varieties desired be grated on the
parent stock in order to secure i'm
munity from vine diseases.
After a few suggestions as to the
best mean of securing immunity
from disease not yet affecting thi:
district, the discussion of pests aat

tending the meeting have been con
tending was taken up.
The speaker suggested a strong

plea made for a heartier cooperation
on the part of the members of the
association in fighting existing pests
and for the prevention Of the in
PRODUCTION of others.
Following this general discussion
the society went into session as a
committee of the whole to devise
ways and means for the organization
of a protective league for the fight
ing of existing pests and diseases
and for the prevention of the intro
duction OF others.
The matter of asking the state,
ccunty and national government to
pass and enforce laws to protect the
gr-wers from the importation of
scale on TUFTS and plants brought in
from foreign lands was taken up and
discussed at length. 1t was decided
that a committee to memorabilia the
different bodies Of the government
be appointed to draw up resolutions,
setting for.h the dangers to fruits
from allowing Mexican plants and
fruits to come into the country with
out inspection. {,
The committee consists of Prof
B. T. Shepperd, w. B. Newhall and
T. L. Phillips.

interesting talks upon experiences
with heaters, w~ind-breaks and other
methods OF protecting citrus fruit
trees. Mr.. Keys told of his exper-
fences with patent heaters in pro-
tecting orange trees against cold.
]. w. Canada, editor of the South
ern Farmer, addressed the meeting
upon the possibilities of the orange
and other citrus fruit trees, warn
ing his hearers, however, upon the
folly Of planting too many trees and
consequently being unable to protect
them.
Prof. z. c. Green, of the South
Texas Gardens, told Of the manner
in which he had saved his orange
crops the past winter by having suf-
ficient wind breaks to protect his
trees from the severe weather.
"A. R. Sprague Of the San Benito
preceding plant, showed the as
sembly a heater he had invented and
which he thought would overcome
most of the evils Of the old style
heaters Mr.. Sprague said that IL
was interested in the saving of
fruits as without fruit TO be pre-
cooled, the plant could do but little
business.
Then the meeting adjourned until

He also spoke of the lack of spray
pumps in the Rio Grande Valley and
urged all members of the association
TO remedy this defect at once.
He spoke of the scale insects that
are now at work in the Valley and
told of the new sprays recently
brought out by the chief inspector
Of the department of agriculture,
and of the excellent results achieved
BY their use, and urged cooperation
on the part of all members of a
community in which pests male
their appearance.
He divided the pests into two
groups; the biting, which can be
killed by the use of poisonous sprays,
and the sucking insects which SAP
the life Of the plant and which pois-
onous sprays do not affect.
Oily or nicotine solutions were
y suggested as the most effective
sprays for these insects. Recipes
can be had for these sprays by ap.
plying to the state department o.
agriculture.
After speaking of a number o
experiments with different sprays
he spoke of the most prevalent o.

DANGER IN DIVIDING PRoGREss1yEs

The platform adopted by the Roosevelt party in New Haven is distinctly commendable It is to all ntents and purposes Democratic platform 1t embraces the prn cpes of peoples rule which have been enunciated at Baltimore which have been ably and eloquenty eab orated by Governor Woodrow Wilson.
 The people of Bridgeport will find little to shock them in most of the blanks in that instrument.
 The readers of this newspaper certainly will not.
 There is a plank for direct primaries.
 Another for the initiative and referendum
 One for the recall.
 One for preferential presidential primaries.
 One for an income tax
 One for physical valuation of railroads 7 One for strict regulation of trusts.
 One for workmens compensation and employers lia- bility acts.
 Foryears this newspaper has favored each and every one ofthese measures.
 Most of them have been demanded in the platform of the Democratic party made at Baltimore.
 Some of them are demanded in the last platform made by the Democratic party in Connecticut,
 Direct primaries for instance the income tax regula- tion of public service corporations and workmens pensation.
 The New Haven platform of the Bull Moose indicates that in principle and economic theory the Connecticut Re publican progressves accord with the Democratic progressves who have dentvely obtained control of the national machinery of the Democratic party.
 The only tangible difference between these progress sive former Republicans and progressive Democrats is that the first named Roosevelt for president and the latter want Woodrow Wilson.
 What mistake to divide the forces of progress! How much superior to principles!
 Much certain of realization will be the good things in the New Haven platform if progressves trate upon candidate and that candidate Woodrow Wilson.

THE BRANCHvILLE ROAD.

Wherever men meet in Connecti- cut to discuss state highways unity appears in one fact. However di- verse the opinion in any other par ticular, there is unanimity in the as- pertion that the highways of Connec- tfcHt are miserable and that the state needs a new manager of its thorough fares. The monthly meeting of the Ridgefisfd Business Mems Association was held Friday. The Branohville road was discussed This road has fallen into bad shape. There seems to be. dispute as to whether the town should have supervised the necessary repaira. or the highway commission CT. At any rate Ridgefield is in the position of having to put up with, a very bad highway, unless it expends some thousands of dollars to take nine stitches which might have been sav- ed by one in time. Even establish ing neglect on the part of the town, would not relieve. the state atthori- ties from responsibility.
