or early spring just before the bios
soming season. It winters over mostly
in pears though occasionally in a few
apples like Jonathan and Yellow Trans
parent. While the blight now shows
in millions Of blighted places on the
trunks it will winter over only in few
places here and there in the trunk,
main limbs or occasionally in the twigs.
In early spring these winter pockets cf
blight may be seen in blistered areas
on the bark which give of honey'like
exudations. Insects feed feed on
these honey like masses oozing from
winter blight pockets. This honey
like mass is full Of germs Of the disease
which aae carried by the insects 10 the
blossoms and growing points in spring.
II these winter pockets can be cut out,
and the wounds painted no blight
germs will be left and the disease will
not spread during the spring and early
summer. II a blight pocket here and
there is overlooked near the blossom
ing time, the disease will spread from
it to the flower clusters and growing
twigs. These FIRST blighted parts in
the flower clusters and new twigs put
out honey,like exudations which stand
in little beads on the young twigs, leaf
stems or young fruit stems. Could
these have been cut out just alter the
blooming period this year, the present
enormous spread OF blight could have
been prevented. 1t would be we'll tc
keep this point in mind next spring
wherever blight is serious this year.
Treatment with salt, calomel, iron
and other things have been recon-
mended for preventing blight. None
Of these, except cutting out the blight
is Of any value. The reason why sal
or iron stirred into the soil under {
blighting tree or calomel injected un.
der its bark seems to check the bligh
is because the spring blight runs it
course so quickly that by the time i
is observed and the alleged remed,
applied, the blight is usually ready t
stop Of its own accord.

Woman on the Farm.

We are inclined to suspect that at
least one Kansas City jurist has lived
on a farm to good purpose, so far as
woman's work there is concerned.
Else why has a member Of the appel
late court there ruled that a wife can't
be compelled to move from the city to
the country with her husband if she
doeSen't choose to do so?
Here, undoubtedly, is a man on the
bench who knows what the average
woman busies herself with in the coun-
try. He must have watched some
farmers wife getting breakfast in the
hour before dawn, feeding the chickens
while the men ate their morning meal,
taking care OF the milk before begin
ming the real tasks Of the, forenoon,
working in the garden when the house
hold duties were finished until summon
ed 10 prepare the midday meal for q
hungry tableiul, doing the family sew
ing to while away the afternoon, and
getting supper, tending the COWS, hous
ing the poultry and making things 9th
erwise fit for the night.
The woman on the farm, this judge
probably decided, has steady job
No danger of her ever becoming a loaf
er. There are hours, Of course, il
stormy days, or when a broken ploV
must be taken TO the foundry, or an un
shod horse to the blacksmith, or
load Of grain to the elevator, or a coz
TO the stock-buyer when time for gos
sip is offered. But it isn't the womal
on the farm who gets the opportunity
I We agree with the Kansas City jurisl
A woman shouldn't have to 90 to liv
in the county if she doesn't choos
e that sort OF busy career. She Shoul
, be given the right to refuse beiOrehar
e she won't find time to do it atte
e wards. Springfield Republican.

Arrangements are now being made
for this congress to be held at Buffalo,
continuing from August Is 10 80.
1t is the aim Of the organizing com
mittee in charge to bring together at
Buffalo a record number Of men and
women interested in improving the
health and efficiency Of school children,
and to make this Congress the first Of
its kind ever held in America Of
direct benefit to each individual com
munity. A program Of papers and dis
cussion is now being arranged covering
the entire field Of school hygiene.
There will be scientific exhibits repre-
Senting the best that has been done
in school hygiene, and also CONNER
cial exhibits Of educational value.
Every community should be repre-
sented.

side or the other Of a dividing line last
year. That line having been practically
obliterated the party leaders can now
stand together-and they will stand
together. The fellow that won't stand
because some other man stands will
fall down. He viii fall hard. And if
he gets up he won't be in condition to
take a stand for anything,
Missouri republicans have no federal
patronage to fight over now. Thank
the Lord and Woodrow Wilson for thatl
They can fight for the principles and
the policies of their partY-that is,
they can fight for the prosperity Of the
people and the progress Of the state
and the county. They can fight for
the protection Of American agriculture,
industry and commerce against the
products Of cheap foreign labor and
capital. They can stand up for the
farms and the factories and the mines
and the wage earners OF Missouri!
And so they will stand, And it is
likely that majority Of Missouri voters
will stand with them.

MISSOURI A
REPUBLICAN STATE.

Missouri has been a republican
state for sixteen years. Crooked cleo
tions held under democratic control
gave the state to the democrats in 1896
and in 1900. In 1904 republicans
elected all Of the state officers, in
cluding the Governor, Joseph w. Folk,
who was the Democratic nominee but
was supported by thousands Of Repub-
licans because Of his record as fear
less prosecutor Of big Democrats chief
tains in St. Louis and because he was
generally believed to be a great re-
former. In 1908 the Democrats elected
the state officers, except Governor, by
bold and notorious election frauds in
Kansas City. The Republicans elect
ed Ferbert S, Hadley Governor be
cause Of his Incompatible record as
attorney general. In 1910 the repub-
licans elected their entire state ticket,
though the democrats contested and
persisted in claiming fraud until the
supreme court knocked them out with
decision that must forever shame
them. In 1912 the democrats polled
less than half the state vote but elected
their nominees because Of a division
in the republican party. They have
elected big majority in the state
senate for nearly forty years through a
gerrymandering trick made possible
by an unfortunate loop hole" in the
constitution, permitting three state
officers to lay out senatorial districts at
the end Of each decade. They have
elected a majority Of congressman by
skilllully gerrymandering congressional
districts.
In short, the democrats, though in
the minority, have held the state
through trickery, fraud in election:
and gerymanders and lost it only wher
the public conscience was so aroused
they could not work corrupt schemes
They have ruled without right. They
are in the minority how. A united
republican party can and will detea
them in 1916 if npt in 1914.

Fire Blight Of The Apple.

Recently a disease has been spread
ing through the apple orchards Of Mis-
souri, killing much Of the newly set
fruit and many Of the young growing
shoots Of the trees. This disease is
Fire Blight. 1t attacks the pear as
well as the apple and ounce. It de-
velops to a serious degree almost every
year in pears. 1t rarely causes as
much damage in apples as it is doing
this season.
II is caused by bacterial parasite
which develops in the growing layer ol
wood, causing the tissue 10 die as seen
in blighting orchards at the present
time. There is no other known pre-
ventive than cutting out and burning

to accomplish much by cutting out tht

the apple it has already run its course
for this season. Il continues 10 liv'

Too Much Fighting"

Attorney General Barker announce
ment that we propose to fight the in
surance cases to the last is not the
proper spirit for the state Of Missouri
to assume in the present controversy
over the Orr law. The trouble has
been that the Missouri officials have
done entirely too much fighting"
and have uot exercised enough sound
sense and business judgment, Atom
ey General Barker appears to assume
that the only interest at stake in this
matter are the Interests OF the pol
iticians. In this he is greatly mistak-
en-. The people Of Missouri have an
interest that is paramount to any inter
est Of the politicians or OF the compa-
MES. The conditions precipitated are
hurting the people by restricting build
ing operations, hampering investments
and soaring away capital.
When the insurance companies firm
ly refuse to continue TO do business in
Missouri the situation does not call fol-
any more "fghting". Had it not
been for this too evident disposition tc
fight" in all probability the compan'
les would not have Withdrawn. At any
rate, they have deliberately forfeited
their business in Missouri. They have
closed their agencies, discharged their
solicitors aud will write no more
policies. Under the circumstances i
cannot be expected that the companies
will do any more fighting" with the
state officials. They are through, ex
cept that they are resisting the efor
to convict them Of violating the anti
trust law in the higher courts.
The people Of Missouri are growing
exceedingly tired Of this controversy
and the burden OF responsibility ha
been shifted to the state officials. II
these men and to them alone can th'
people look for relief. A miserabl
mess has been made OF the whole mat
ter and the longer the state official
continue to play politics, iIthat is wha
they are doing, the worse it will be
