Mr.. Morehead is abused and misrep-

noted that since the iGreensboro Daily

THEY STRIKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
FIRST.

The Democratic Congress, in slash
ing appropriations for Washington
City, under their so-called cry o
economy, hit the public schools thei
first and hardest blow.
The Washington Post in editorial
protesting against such hostile ant
reckless action, says:
What is the reason that
prompts the House District Com
mittee to deal blow at the pub
lie school system of the District
in plain violation of the acts of
Congress establishing the local
form of government? =.
"Assuredly, If the idea of re-
peal was uppermost In the minds
of the committee, no more vital
point could have been selected
at which to aim the first blow.
Care of the schools is. the first
and highest duty devolving on
Congress in its relations with the
people OF the District, just as 1t
is the thing that lies nearest the
heart of the community. And
SO. in attempting to strike down
the! schools-for that is what, in
any case, it amounts to-the
committee is working to bring
the, controversy sharply to a
head. Any plea of economy that
might be urged falls to the
ground, since in any plan of re-
trenchment the schools should
suffer last, not first. Nor has the
action any basis of justification
in the wishes and welfare of the
people here or elsewhere. It
breaks contracts of Congress
own making, and departs from
precedent and the rules of good
government.
This looks like the Congress is a.
much against public schools as is tn,
Democratic machine in this State.

EXCELLENT STORAGE FOR THE ROOT CROPS


E. J. Delwiche of the Wisconsin sta
ton makes the following recommend
ations regarding the storage of roots
for feeding purposes:
The best place to store roots is in
a root cellar near where they are to
be fed. Such a cellar may be part
of a barn, basement, or 1T may be
built conveniently near to the stock
barn. In most places the root house
can be built most economically Of con-
crete. Ordinarily cement is the only ma
terial that has to be purchased. The
gravel and sand are usually available
at no great distance on most farms.
While the temperature In root house
should never fall to the freezing point,
it should be at low point for best re-
suits in keeping roots.
When no cellar is available, roots
may be stored in pits. For fall and
early winter feeding they need not be
covered to any great depth. The roots
are put in conical pile about four
feet in diameter on a bed of clean
straw, then covered with layer of
two inches of long straw. Clean rye
straw is preferred for this purpose.
The straw at the apex of the pile is

cultivation, fertilizers, pruning and
spraying for other insects and dis
eases should be carefully considered
in order that the most favorable con-
ditions for recovery to health and
productiveness may be afforded to
the trees.
The thrips is a difficult pest to COM
bat because Of the nature and sudden
ness of its attacks. Spraying is the
most efficient method of control. The
period for effective spraying is during
the time when tie buds are breaking
and until they are entirely opened at
the tips. The most promising spray
ing mixtures are the nicotine prep
arations In combination with kerosene
| emulsion or soap. Two or three ap
plications on successive days during
the past year largely prevented i'm
portant injuries to pear trees. The
physical features of the locations OF
the orchards, such as the direction
and elevation of the slopes of the land
and character of the soil, have a
marked influence on the development
Of the buds and the time of blossom
| ing. The time for effective spraying
will therefore vary with individual
| orchards.

made to form a chimney five or six
inches in diameter for ventilation.
Dirt is thrown on the pile to a depth
of six inches. The roots are piled
as high as possible so as to shed wa
ter. When wanted for feeding the
whole pit is taken into the barn at
once. For early winter feeding the
layer Of dirt should be thicker, and in
addition covering of straw should be
placed over the whole pile

vides for two layers of straw and two

inch boards Is placed at the apex,
When severe freezing weather sets In,
the ventilator Is stuffed tightly with
fine hay. In such a pit roots will
keep without freezing even in the
coldest winters. If desired, the piles
may be made oblong instead of conical
in shape, retaining the gable form.
While pits do very well, SO far as
keeping the roots is concerned. it must
be understood that they are but make.
shifts at best. A root house which is
accessible at all times is much more
satisfactory and more economical.

REWARDS OFFERED
IN FRUIT GROWING
Great Crops Are Possible When
Conditions Are Created to
Produce Them.

Fruit growing offers many rewards
in the way Of great possibilities to
those who get the most out of it. The
careful planter and the liberal feeder
and culturist, as rule, gets what he
is working for.
In all kinds Of fruit culture great
crops are possible when the circum-
stances are created to produce them.
A well-cared for strawberry planta-
ton, says a writer in Green Fruit
Grower, often yields wonderful re.
suits; and the same can be said OF
raspberries, currants, gooseberries,
etc., and yet it is not best to engage
in fruit culture with that as an incen-
tive. Figure on a fair crop, and If
you get large one, SO much the bet.
ter / would not be understood to dis
courage aiming high-not by any
means-simply to caution tthe inexpe

Do not plant too closely, and give
what you plant close attention. We
know a man who may not be termed
a model fruit grower, yet this man
makes the most of what he has, anG

Good varieties, good plants, suitable
ground, and proper care will produce
fine fruit. Economy is very essen

There must be thorough work done

statements of fruitgrowers the most
severe attack Of the thrips occurred
during 1910, when the pear crop in
many orchards was much reduced.
Besides losses in yields the trees were
seriously checked by injuries to leaf
buds and leaf clusters; and in some
orchards the season was much ad-
vanced before the trees presented nor
NAL conditions Of growth. The pro-
ductiveness of pear orchards during
1911 was greater than the preceding
year, but blighting of blossom clusters
was general and orchards suffered
losses in yields according to the sever
ity Of the attacks by the thrips.
Severe attacks by the thrips are q
serious drain on the vitality and pro-
ductiveness of the trees. In their
weakened state they are also more
subject to injuries by adverse weather
or environment, and to attacks by

For a number of years pear bios
SONS in orchards in the state Of New
York and other parts of the east have
blighted, resulting in more or less ex-
.ensive losses in fruit yields.
Careful studies during the past
year have shown that the injury is
caused by the pear thrips, a new
orchard pest, which has attracted con-
siderable attention in recent years in
California because of it's destructive
ness to various leciduous fruits.
The adult thrips, which is largely
responsible for the injuries to the
trees, is a small, darkish brown,
winged insect measuring about one
twentieth of an inch in length. 1t ap-
pears in destructive numbers when
the buds are opening, attacking the
tenderest of the flower parts. The
eggs are mostly deposited beneath the
epidermis of the blossom and fruit
stems. Matching takes place within a
few days, and the larvae seek prefer
ably the calyx cups, undersides OF
calyces, and the folds or under sur
faces of the tender, expanding leaves
The larvae feed for about two weeks
and drop to the ground, in which they
form a protecting cell. In this cell
the insect completes it's transforma
tions and emerges from the ground in
the spring as an adult. The thrips is
single brooded; and the most active
and destructive stages are cOincident
with the period that includes the life
events of the swelling and opening Of
the buds and dropping of blossoms
and calyces.
Injuries by the thrips in the Hudson
valley have apparently occurred over
a period of five years. During the
past three years fruitgrowers gener
ally have noticed blighting of blossom
clusters of pear trees, although the
nature of the causal agent seems no
to have been suspected. According t
