of the people have been carefully
safeguarded, the business of the rail-
roads has not been unnecessarily dis
turbed
The platform promised to promote
the welfare of the railroad employees
by proper legislation for their safety
and by the enactment Of an employees
liability law that should be within
the requirements of the constitution
as pointed out by the supreme court.
The pledge was promptly fulfilled and
law is now imbedded in the statutes
doing away with the old rule of con-
tributory negligence. A step beyond
the platform promise has been taken
through the enactment of beneficent
laws touching the use of safety ap-
pliances on railroads which look to
the protection Of their employees from
every avoidable accident.
The platform promised a child Ia
Dor law for the District of Columbia
that should serve as a model for the
states. Such law has been passed.
The platform promised the estab.
lishment of a mining bureau. That
has been done and the life OF every
miner in the United States is less ex-
posed to danger because of the great
work this bureau is doing.
The platform promised to maintain
the efficiency of the army and navy.
That has been done.
The platform promised to follow up
the conservation policy upon which
the Roosevelt administration had en-
tered. That has been done by the
passage of laws which will make i'm
possible the exploitation or monopoli-
zation of the mineral wealth of the
public domain.
The platform promised that the best
of efforts would be made to extend
the foreign commerce of the United
States. For the first time. our ex-
ports last year passed the two billion
dollar mark.
The platform promised statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona, Their stars

e. ]. Delwiche of the Wisconsin sta
tion makes the following recommend
atoms regarding the storage of roots
for feeding purposes:
The best place to store roots is in
root cellar near where they are to
be fed. Such a cellar may be a part
of a barn, basement. or it 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 laya 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 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 the 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.

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 a rule, gets what he
is working for.
In all kinds of fruit culture great
stances are created to produce them.
A well-cared for strawberry planta-
tion. says writer in Green Fruit
Grower, often yields wonderful re-
suits: and the same can be said of
raspberries, currants, gooseberries.
etc. and yet 1t is not best to engage
in fruit culture with that as an incen-
tive. Figure on a fair crop. and II
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-
rienced against building on these ex-
ceptional yields.
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, and
is successful.
Good varieties, good plants, suitable
ground, and proper care will produce
fine fruit. Economy Is very essen
tial to success. and yet one must not
be penny wise and pound foolish.
There must be thorough work done.
and plants must not be crowded. 1t
takes some thought to know Just how
much work and money to bestow
upon a crop to make the most possi-
BILE profit from 1t. -
1t is difficult for the inexperienced
to realize the great value Of expert
ence In fruit growing. After one has
travelled the road he can see the
value. To those who are about to es-
tablish themselves in this interesting
industry, would say to go slow at
first; make small beginnings; gain
your knowledge as you go on; study
your location and soil SO that you will
know better than any one Just what
is possible to accomplish with 1T.

EXCELLENT STORAGE FOR THE ROOT CROPS

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.
The illustration shows a pit intend
ed to remain over winter. This pro-
vides for two layers of straw and two
of earth. A ventilator made of four
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. II desired. the piles
may be made oblong instead of conical
in shape. retaining the gable form.
While pits do very well, 80 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 ut all times is much more
satisfactory and more economical.

Rural Mail Carriers Helped.

Each day brings to light something
President Taft has done for the wage
earners. On September 80. 1912, $4,000
rural letter carriers received an in
crease in salaries-an increase which
everybody admits was brought about
by the recommendation and fruitful ef-
forts of President Taft.
The compensation of rural carriers
on standard routes. averaging about
25 miles in length, are increased from
$1,000 to s1.100 year, with proper
tionate increases for rural carriers on
shorter routes. Sixteen years ago the
rural mail carriers were paid 5000 q
year. This year they receive $1,100.
Thus the Republican party and Presi-
dent Taft help the faithful men who
deliver mail upon rural routes.

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 a
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
various wood-boring insects. The

For q number Of years pear blos-

Careful studies during the past

siderable attention In recent years In

responsible for the injuries to the
trees. is small, darkish brown.

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
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 its 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
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 not
to have been suspected. According to

HE HAS MADE GOOD
TAFT HAS REDEEMED PLEDGES
MADE BY REPUBLICAN PARTY
TO THE PEOPLE.
WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED
Presidents Effective Work, His High
Character and His Great Admin
istrative Ability Commend Him to
the Voters Of the United States.

In the language of the times. Presi-
dent Taft has made good.
The fact can be demonstrated first
of all by taking up one by one the
pledges of the platform iof the conven-
tion which first nominated Mr.. Taft
and observing whether or not they
have been fulfilled. 1t was upon the
pledges of that platform that certain
definite results would be accomplished,
that the Republican party went be-
fore the country in 1908 and received
its overwhelming Endorsement. In the
hands of the president more than of
any other one man has lain the per
for nance of those pledges. And II
they have been met, then to him must
go the lions share of the credit.
The platform promised tariff re-
vision at special session of congress
Immediately following the Inaugural
tion of the president. That pledge
was kept. The tariff was revised. as
promised, in the interest of the peo-
plc. That revision did not close a
single American factory or reduce the
wages of any American workingman,
and in the first year of its operation
1t converted a deficit of fifty millions
into a surplus of thirty millions. 1t
contained maximum and minimum
provision under which for the first
time the United States has been able
to obtain entrance for its products in
to foreign markets upon as favorable
terms as the products of any other
nation. 1t provided corporation tax
which has brought twenty-five mill
Hons of dollars a year into the treas
ury. besides compelling a degree of
corporation publicity which has had
a most wholesome effect. 1t provided
a tariff board which. II permitted to
continue, would bring the possibility
of informed, impartial. scientific tariff
revision. The Payne law was a full
fillment in good faith of the platform
pledge and It has been boon, not a
bane. to the country.
The platform called attention to the
need of a more elastic and adaptable
monetary system and promised to
work out that problem. The monetary
commission has made Its report in
fuIfillment of that pledge.
The platform promised to establish
a system of postal savings banks.
That promise was fulfilled.
The platform promised an effective
enforcement of the Sherman act. The
columns of the daily papers for the
past two years have borne ample tes-
timony to the faithfulness with which
that promise has been kept
The platform promised certain
amendments to the interstate COM
