George Wingheld made man more friends in the State of Nevada
by refusing the Senatorshp appo ntment than he could have possibly
had nv its acceptance. He ws r lost certainly not the choice of the
masses of the people of this Stat, and he probably also understood the
fact that it was his financial sta ding and power that vas appointed and

Naming the Senator

GOVERNOR ODDIE has been having a strenuous time naming
a Senator to fill the Nixon term. By declining the offer Wingheld
left it a matter OF second choice. In this the Governor selected Judge
Massey and while there were others in the field he stuck to the Judge,
1t was a good selection.
The queerest portion of the program comes abuot when it is
figured that Oddic defeated Massey for Governor at the primaries
Now Oddie a lay o N the balm by this appointment. Death and

RESERVE BUDS.

j. f. Callahan, Ell Cajon, California,
writes as follows: "Let me ask you
question further about buds, whence
come secondary buds? In Ohio
(Euclid) we often get partial crop
of grapes from them when late frost
nipped the tirst-somewhere between
start and bloom. | believe this is not
confined to the vines. That college
Professor may have been thinking of
secondary buds and their use when he
made that astounding statement.
This question opens up to consldera-
ton what our scientific hOrticulturlsts
call reserve buds They may some
times Call these "sec ,ndary buds, -
but il SO have tailed to note the fact.
But what do they mean by reserve
buds? They mean that some flower
buds do not develop but are carried
over to the next year ard sometimes
for several years and sometimes never
bloom at all. Let me give quotation
from the Annual Report of the Elk
pertinent Station for the year 1903,
page 539: Speaking of reserve buds
the report says: ''They may not de-
velop into fl overs for several seasons.
II heavily shaded they may never

l year old, 2 year old, 3-year old flower
buds, many older buds and some buds
formed during the year may form
embryo flowers. This explains why an
excessive fruit crop is always followed
by scant one. There are no reserve
buds"
Anyone who will carefully examine
bearing fruit trees, especially apple
trees, will find many embryo buds
that remain undeveloped during the
whole season. I have myself watched
these reserve buds very carefully IN
my own orchard. If the bloom Is
severely injured by frost, these re-

THE WOODY APHIS AND PRE-
COOLING FRUIT.

My old friend. H.. M. Lichty, of
Sunnyside, Washington, writes, under
date of July 3rd as follows:
81 have just read your last Ranch
talk and think missed the previous
one. I was told that you claim that
woody aphis can be drowned at the
roots of tree. I have taken this up
with Inspector Powell and some of
my neighbors and it is my opinion
that you will have to give us the
evidence. Tell us. please, where this
succeeded and by whom. | would
also like to know what your opinion
is on preceding fruit by night air
either putting the soft fruit into trays
not more than two thicknesses with
slat bottoms and placing said trays
on canvass or grass previously made
wet and leaving over night or placing
said trays in such position in cooling
cells that air can be forced through
tiers of such fruit trays. The idea is
that the fruit coming from the heated
orchards should be cooled to the pit
the following night and by use of
cellars not be allowed to get warm

the trees. 1 would like your advice
on what would be the best to do to
protect these trees from the rabbits.
l have whitewash on them now but
it will not stay on long. l cannot
fence the rabbits out, for IN the
winter the snow drifts over the fences
and they go right over"
1t will help US in settling how to
protect young trees from rabbits ii
we understand something of their
feeding habits. A rabbit is very
dainty in it's habits. 1t will not eat
anything that is filthy. Acting on
this trait in rabbits, hortioulturists
have found that if we smear grease,
blood, COW dung or any kind of filth
on the bodies of young trees, the
rabbits will let them alone severely.
Rancid fish oil is very good for this
purpose. We have gone to the slaught-
er house and got blood to smear on
our trees and it served the purpose
very we'll.
Where SHOWS are very deep, we
encounter another difficulty. AS soon
as the snow hardens, the rabbits will
skip around over the top and can get
at the tops of the trees. Under such
conditions rabbits are very hungry
and will gnaw the bark off the limbs.
1t is difficult to smear all the limbs
on our young trees. However, ii the
bodies of the trees are not hurt, the
injured limbs can be cut OFT in the
spring when we prune and the trees
will soon grow new tops. My advice,
therefore, is to smear the bodies OF
the trees with any kind of filth,
grease being preferred because it will
stick the longest. Prune out the
injured limbs in the early spring,
keep some good dogs that can catch
a rabbit on straight run, shoot and
trap all the rabbits you can. AS the
country settles up the rabbits will be
thinned out il your ne1ghbors do as
you do.

serve buds may suddenly start up and
present more or less bloom and some
fruit. A few years since we had a
severe frost at blooming time and we
found in a certain part of our orchard
where the frost was very severe that
our Jonathan apples were practically
all killed. We said to one another,
''There will be no Jonathans on that
fiat this year.. " A few days later,
as [ was passing through that fat, l
noticed that a good many of the re-
serve buds we're showing red heads
and within few days they burst into
full bloom. There was quite crop
on these trees after all-not full
crop, perhaps not half crop, but
surprising crop in view of the COM
plete destruction at the time of the
frost.
person not knowing anything
about bud formation might very
naturally have supposed that these
delayed buds we're formed after the
frost had killed the first bloom. But
it has been shown in other articles
that buds, and especially fruit buds,
are formed during the previous
autumn. I have not doubt but had
there been no frost these reserve
buds would have remained dormant
all that summer, for the available food
material would have been used in the
growth OF the tree and the develop
ment of the heavy crop of fruit. The
fruit being all killed, there was food
material to spare and it was used in
developing these reserved buds. l
think that the case mentioned by our
correspondent can be explained in
the same way.

TEN CARLOADS OF
HOMESEEKERS HERE
Land Companies Report Satisfactory
Business-Many Investors Locat-
ing in the Valley.

The managers of the various land
companies that had their homeseek-
ers in the city yesterday all report
a very good business for the trip.
purchasers are beginning to settle
on their newly bought properties,
and will continue to do so from now
until the first of the year.
There were ten cars all told yes
terday, carrying a total Of about 1T5
persons. Many bought land and are
quite satisfied with their invest
ments, believing that If they have
no trouble in getting the products
they can raise here to market in the
winter they are bound TO come out
we'll financially. One wealthy farm
er from Wisconsin stated that in his
opinion the advertising he had seen
Of the Lower Rio Grande Valley did
not ut all come up to what he had
found in looking the country over
He said that the printed matter
could not be written strong enough,
and that he thinks, since he has
viewed the lands, that this section
stands "head and shoulders above
anything he has ever seen.
Since their last trip the Mercedes
Land Corporation has purchased
1000 acres of land to the west Of
Mercedes, which they will cut up in
to small farms and place on sale.
R. L. Trimble, in charge OF the
Standard Land company's homeseek-
ers, is authority for the statement
that his company on this trip did a
larger business than they have done
on any one trip in the past four
months. He said that land to the
value of s13S,O0O had been disposed
of, and that every excursionist in
their train had bought.
Indians Among Homeseekers.
Two rather unusual homeseekers
accompanied the excursion. They
were Francis Goodeagle and his son,
ICharles Goodeagle, Of Baxter
Springs, Kan, who are Indians. Mr..
IGoodeagle is a well to do farmer, and
his son is a lawyer. Except for the

the son has the appearance and
dress of the average American. How
ever. the father clings to the tradi-
tions of his f~orefathers and wears
his hair braided. One braid hangs
down over each shoulder, probably
eighteen inches long.
In conversation with a Herald re-
porter Mr.. Goodeagle stated that he
operated a farm near the Kansas
Oklahom line, growing corn almost
exclusively. When asked what was
his opinion of this country he re-
piled:
Fine country; good land; land
too high; $50 acre-too much
money. See corn so high, so high
and so high indicating with his
hands the height Of the corn he had
seen in the Valley, some probably q
foot hight some about three feet
