PUBLIC OPINION.

To the Editor OF The Gate CITY

TO the Editor OF The Gate city:
Above Is name of excrescence or
gall found on stem of sweet brier rose.
II is not very common One was found
lon the rose bush in the lawn Of James
8. Diver, Port Sunshine, the present
week. It had q growth Of six and a
half inches in circumference and e
shaped like an apple. The texture is
sponge like and is soft to the touch,
as velvet. It has been called Robin
Red Breasts Pincushion. 1t is pro-
duced by gall fly, known as Rhodifer
rosae. It punctures the stem, deposits
Its eggs; these hatch out, and the
larvae find food and home, and the
result is the curious and singularly
beautiful Bedeguar. Similar gals are
numerous on the cottonwood leaves.
Cutting one open at the proper place,
one may see a family Of tiny insects
sewing their part in the world of ma
ture. The gals from oak and like trees
which long ago formed the basis OF
writing inks is Of this class. It was
at one time supposed that the bedeguar
possessed medical properties, but no
record Of its value appears.

A Suggestion.
To the Editor OF The Gate City:
In view of the fact that we ara to
celebrate the completion ofsthe dam on
July 4. 1913, and will probably have
President Wilson as the 5'tguest OF
honor" 1t seems to me we should be-
gin at once to put our house in order
and of course the first thing. will be
to map outsa route fer the procession.
Do you think it would be safe to lay
| II. up Main street, in the. expectation
that that street frbnis Water to Second
will be in order? or will it be better
to use Blondeau which is always in
order after the weeds are cut. But
come to think the block on that street
between Fifth and Sixth is under Inn
provement and may not be done
We might use boat and land at
the foot OF Anschutz hill. but on sec
ond thought we find Grand avenue
from the park to Fifteenth street may
mot be worn down by that time.
We couldn't use Johnson street
very far because the "Q' are using
that as part Of their yards. Would
1T be possible. do you think. to get the

Question Of who shall wear the feath-
er and be our next P. M. long enough

There is nothing on earth their prin

your conclusions.

Much interest is being manifested
in the use of lime and limestone on
our soils. The larger iportion of our
cultivated soils are either acid or con-
tain only small amount of carbonate
of lime (limestone). For best results
on such soils it is necessary to use
lime of some form. The nitrogen
gathering plants (clovers, alfalfa.
ETC., do not grow we'll on acid soils,
hence it is difficult to keep up the
nitrogen supply of the soil under such
conditions. The organisms which
render the nitrogen of the soil avail
able do not work we'll in the absence
of the carbonate of lime. hence the
non-nitr0gen gathering plants do not
make their bestgrowth. There is an
almost universal opinion that soils
derived from limestone rock contain
sufficient carbonate of lime. This is
not true. Such soils are very apt to
be deficient in limestone because the
rains dissolve it out. The purer the
limestone the more readily it 10 dis
solved. Caves and sinkholes of lime.
stone regions are due to water dissolv-
ing away the rock.
Raw ground limestone is the best
material to Use. Burnt lime corrects
sourness. but it, is also powerful soil
stimulant and cause rapid loss of the
organic matter and nitrogen of the
SOIL
The test to determine whether lime
stone is needed is tn prepare two plots
of eual size and seed to clover or
alfalfa, using ground limestone on one
at the rate of or tons per acre, and
weighing the yields of hay. The use
of limestone on the Experiment
Station farm increased the Weld of
alfalfa hay from 1850 pounds per acre
to 364O pounds per acre the first cut
ting.
Ground limestone should be applied
at the rate of three or four tons per
acre in the beginning and one ton per
acre every four or five years there
after. 1t is best to apply it after the
ground has been broken and thorough
ly disk or harrow it in.
If burnt lime IS used, about half CT
this amount of the freshly burned
material should be applied. but it
shout be thoroughly slaked before ap-
plication. Under no circumstances
would we. recommend burnt lime if
the ground limestone can be obtained.
Where there is good demand for
ground lime stone it is usually delivered
on cars at plant for dollar or less
per ton, in carload lots in bulk.

The Only Solution.

The impression is steadily gaining
ground that the Democratic excise-in
come tax, which proposes to place up
on wealth part of.the burden of sus-
tanning the government, will pass the
Senate and the White House. Senator
Penrose, who pretends to be the leader
of the Stand. patters in the Senate. has
made the statement that none of the
Democratic bills would be allowed to
pass the Senate. but it is becoming
more and more apparent that Senator
Penrose and those of his kind who
have assumed in the past to rule the
Senate no longer have the power to
"allow" certain measures to pass, or
prevent others from passing.
The truth is, great many Senators
on both sides Of the chamber. either
because they are at last frightened by
the wave of protest against the high
tariff injustice, or because they believe
in the inherent right and justice of
the income tax measure, have come to
look favorably on the bill. At least
there has been cessation of the talk
about the nconstitutionality" of the
measure, and since this argument has
always been the Stanc-pat answer to
all logical proposals, the sign is con-
sidered good one. Nobody pretends
to know. of course. what the ultimate
fate of the present bill will be but
from the popular approval that has
been accorded the measure. it is ad-
mitted by all that such legislation
must come eventually.
The present tariff law raises about
$500, 600. 900 annually lin government
revenue. And for every dollar of
revenue thus turned into the United
States treasury, it is estimated by
democratic leaders in Congress, who
have studied the matter :from every
possible angle. that the tariff barons
put five dollasr into their own pockets
in tie form of root. In other words.
the tariff gives these .bene6ciaries the
right to collect five dollars in tribute
for every dollar the government COL
lects in revenue.
This condition is alone responsible
fort he horde of mushroom millionaires
in this country. On every Particle of
daily USE the people of this country
pay this "five-to-one" tribute.
In the past, the tariff tarons have
urged tariff for TWO principle reasons.
First, they pretend that they desire to
protect" American workmen. That
this Argument, which the protection
lists in Congress listened to with a
willing ear tor the past sixteen years,
is a farce, ure>aad simple, has been
proven beyond doubt by the Demo-
Gratis at this session of Cogress.
chiefly Through the various investi-
cations into trust methods. Secondly,
the trust heads pointed out that in no
other way could revenue be collected
for the governments support. They
thus gave their plea flor a tariff the
form of an excuse.
Having disposed of the first reason"
for keepingsuo the tariff, the Demo-
Gratis, through the exciseincome tax
bill, have offered q tsolution of the
other alleged difficulty.
