able to show that in those states
where women have had complete or
partial suffrage, where they have
been able to back up their petitions
with votes, matters affecting public
welfare have been more intelligent

THE FORMATION AND CHANGE OF
FRUIT BUDS.

J. f. Callahan, an old friend of
mine, now living at Ell Cajon, Cali
fornia, recently wrote me as follows:
81 see by the Digest an article on
pruning from you. In the same you
say that it is we'll known now that, in
the early stages of buds, leaf and
fruit buds are the same. l would be
glad to see the authority that fruit
buds may become leaf buds. My
idea is that irrigation in August
causes leaf buds to prevail. Old fruit
growers here do not think one can be
so wrought upon by water or any
thing else as to change it. d."
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01

| Immediately wrote Mr.. Callahan
and showed him by the best authority
to be found in our libraries that fruit
buds could be changed into leaf buds.
[ also stated to him that we had pro-
ven this on our own fruit ranch. To
this my friend replied conceding that
fruit buds may be transformed into
leaf buds but he then puts the ques
ton in another form, to wit: "Do
leaf buds become fruit buds every
Your quotations seem to point that
way, that is, in the affirmative. 1
have promised Mr.. Callahan to answer
this last question through The Ranch.
AS many others may be interested in
his questions | shall consider both Of
them.
The.frst question we want to con-
slider and settle is this: What is the
first condition of the bud that is final
ly to produce the flower and the fruit?
1t is a vegetative shoot. Sorauer in
his great work on ''PIant Physiology, :"
page GIG, says: "Each flower repre-
sents. therefore, reduced shoot with
several whorls of leaves, each of which
is modified for a special function. !"
Again on page 217 he says: 1.-The
flower is a modified shoot; the diff
ferent leaves of which may become
transformed from one series Of forms
into another" On page 218, speak
ing Of these changes be says: Gwen
when the new outgrowths arising
above them have been transformed
into stamens and carpels." Now let
it be borne in mind that stamens and
carpets are the two essential classes
of sexual organs, the stamens being
the male organs and the carpets the
female organs. But these indispen-
sible organs come into existence by
being transformed from the rudi-
mentary leaves in the vegetative shoot.
On page 219 Sorauer says: ''We see,
thet efore, that the apple is really the
cortical tissue OF a succulent shoot. J"
On page 221 this great author asks
this question: "Can gardener cause
the formation of new Towering buds?"
In answering his own question, he
saws: Sin all cases in which the
horticultural value of cultivated
plant lies in it's flowers, or in the re.
sulting product of these flowers, the
fruit, it is desirable as much as pos
sible to increase the number of flower
ing buds. On this point we know by
experience that plants will only de-
velop Towering buds when the food
material formed in the leaves is CO.
piously stored up in the stem and
branc hes as reserve material and not
when this material is Immediately
used,up IN the production of new
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-01

vegitative organs (Ieaves). In horti-
cultural practice it is common to
observe in the case of perennial plants
that continuous and excessive forma-
ton of leaves is detrimental to the
production of flowers. OF our apple
trees it is we'll known that in warm
insular climates they grow into
magnificent foliage trees, but remain
unproductive of fruit.
Now let the reader note that it is
the same kind of food material that
causes the growth of terminal buds
or the formation of fruit buds. Only
the conditions of growth are changed.
What is this favorable condition need
ed to cause the development OF fruit
buds? Sorauer says, page 222, In
all these cases it proves to be advanta-
geous to prevent the development OF
shoots and to bring about complete
period of rest. The best means OF
doing this is by drought, and under
certain circumstances by diminuition
of temperature. We have already
touched upon another method OF
attaining the retention and storing
up of food material by wringing and
notching the branches. We learn
from all this and much more like 1T,
that when we want fruit buds to form
we must cause the food material to
be stored up about the young leaf
buds. One way this may be accom-
pIished is to pinch off the terminal
buds in August or early September.
I could quote much more from Sorauer
on this point and could also quote
from Gray's botany and from "Agrl-
cultural Botany" by John Percival,
an eminent English botanist. In fact
I believe my leaders will bear with
me in making one quotation from
Percival. He says on page 70 OF his
great work: "Although the flower of
plant appears different in many
respects from anything we have yet
examined it in reality form of simple
shoot or stem with leaves upon it.
The whole of it's parts, however. have
been modified to serve the purpose of
seed production, and at first sight It's
likeness to a simple vegetable shoot
is not appreciated.
From the survey of this matter that
we now have before US We can fully
indorse the following from Sorauar s
statement on page 2l5 of his book on
Plant Physiology: "ln most cases we
are justified in regarding the re-
productive organs as leaves modified
for very definite object. L have
written somewhat fully on this point
that it may be clearly understood that
leaf buds and Towering buds are
indentical in their first stages and
the flower buds are the result of
changing the rudimentary leaf buds
into towering buds. This change,
however, is only in the early stages
of the development. But can flower
ing buds be changed back to leaf
buds? They can and are often so
changed. Let me give few quota
tions from Sorauer's great work. On
page 224 he says: 'All the different
organs of the flower may be transform
ed into green leaves. On page 243
we read: "But this all entails retro
orassion Of the sexual reproduction

BUSINESS
PROSPECTS
KEEP BRIGHT
CONDITIONS ARE HEALTHTUL
Activity in Trade is Reported
in Many Lines

New York. Nov. 1S.-Business con,
tinues to expand, unchecked by the
Balkan war with it's grave Europeaa
complications, and it's remarkable de-
velopment has furnished new proof
that true national prosperity springs
from the soil. The domestic and for,
etgn demand for iron and steel prod
ucts is even larger than before, with
all previous records broken Railroad
purchases continue ON an extensive
scale, notwithstanding that a decis-
ion as to the raising of railroad wages
is near at hand
The railroads are making every eff
fort to move promptly the tremendous
traffic of the country and at the same
time are making due preparation for
the requirements of the future. There
are also signs of preparation for the
opening Of the Panama canal. The
dry goods market in both cottons and
woolens, daily develops new activity
and strength, and the retail business,
though held in check somewhat by the
mild weather, now shows increased
volume as the holiday season ap-
proaches. The shoe trade also main
tains steady gain. Crop conditions
are all that could be desired, and the
latest cotton estimates foreshadow ar
increasing yield. The movement of
wheat is enormous. Last weeks sta
tistics all confirm the reports from
individual trades.
World wide firmness in money con-
tinues and the Imperial Bank of Ger
many has advanced its discount rate
from 5 to s per cent. Important de-
velopments occurred in foreign ex-
change with a further decline in de-
mand sterling to below ASS, yet
resumption Of gold imports is consid-
cred unlikely at this juncture. Pros
perity has expanded imports. The
great volume of exports is maintain
ed; at New York for the latest week
the exports were $16,543,5 $40 being
considerably larger than in the two
preceding years, while imports were
S22,2S4,474, the gain over the two
years being relatively about the same
as in the case of exports.
Convincing evidence of the remark
able expansion in iron and steel was
furnished by the increase of over n
million tons in the untitled orders of
the leading interests last month. This
was surprisingly large gain and may
be attributed in part to the steady de-
velopment of new export business. La
Dor is now more plentiful, but the
steel mills are not operating quite up
to the high rate maintained in Octo-
Der.

ISlam'S Fall Due to a Greed IN
Which Liberty Has No Place

The decline and fall of Mohammed-
anism is one of the most striking ev-
ents of the modern world In three
centuries Islam has sunk from the
terror of Christendom to the vassal of
Christendom. No such collapse of a
great religious system was ever known
before.
The main cause of the failure
Mohammedanism is simple. The creed
of Mohammed sanctified and estab-
lished an oriental marriage system
and an oriental political system Pol
gamy at home and despotism from the
home to the palace was and is the
order of the day in Moslem lands
The husband and father is despot in
the household; the pasha is despot in
the province; the khalif is despot in
the empire. There have been pagan
republics, Jewish republics, but there
never has been a Mohammedan re-
public. Mohammedanism and liberty
do not go together
A creed founded on despotism apd
polygamy did not appeal to the lib-
erty-loying and homogeneous nations
of Europe. Mohammedanism was fore
ed TO content itself with converting
second-grade people. These were slim
ulated for time into tremendous ac-
tivity, but they were barred from any
real growth The result is history.
Mohammedanism has many virtues.
1t enforces temperance 1t prohibits
gambling. 1t enjoins hospitality, cour-
age, loyalty. But it leaves no place
for freedom. and the society which
, lacks freedom is doomed to decay.
The fall of Islam is historys verdict
on polygamy and despotism.--Chicago
