IT. HE people are few, whether in agriculture,
trade professional life, who not sub

exI erience of conceiving that by some change of
en- ironment, life will be enriched by abun-

this optimistic seeking for better country has
widely held sway in human nature. Combined
with the spirit of adventure, it has produced the
hardy pioneer of our own and other lands, nowhere
better manifested perhaps than among the early
settlers of state. This spirit of restless
adventure, however, brought down to our own time
and place, is not without its disadvantages both to
our state and to the individual Lured by the glow
ing tales of some new FL Dorado in distant parts
OF the western country, thousands of Kentucky
farmers and fruit growers have, within the last
generation sacrificed in large part, the accumulated
resources and experience acquired in the Ken
lucky home and ignoring the possibilities about
them, have started out in the hope of finding
more fruitful soil and a equable climate.
Some of course, have succeeded but many have
met with disappointment if not disaster, while
learning the hard lesson that part of our land
is without its own peculiar drawbacks and hind
RANGES to success.
To the impartial observer, coming from across
the seas, it may be confidently asserted that few
states of Our Union would present a more salts
factory combination of favorable conditions for
horticultural enterprise than would state
of Kentucky. Many of these favorable conditions
for horticulture, unappreciated, and have long
been overlooked by our own people.
What, it may be asked, are some of these favor
able conditions for horticulture?
First as to its latitude the situation of Kentucky
is ideal Lying midway between the Gulf and the

the season; a main cash crop, perhaps, being pre-
ceded or followed by any of a dozen valuable
catch or cover crops that will largely insure the
maintenance of soil fertility through coming years
This latitude also provides just enough of cold in
its short winter to promote that Vlgor OF mind and
body that has always characterized the people of
temperate zones in contrast to those of the tropics
On the other hand, its winter is mild enough to
permit growing the widest possible variety of those
fruits vegetables and ornamental plants that
suited to temperate latitudes. Compare our condi-
ton in this respect with Minnesota, the Dakotas
and other states of the cold Northwest There
but few varieties of apples successfully culti-
vated peaches are eliminated altogether, grapes and
the bush fruits must be laboriously laid to the
ground and covered each year winter approaches,
to insure keeping life in them from season to
the next. 1t is true that in Kentucky, once or
twice in a generation, there is an exceptionally
winter, that causes some winter killing but
this occurs, for the most part, only among trees
plants that have previously been weakened in
vitality from some other cause.
How rarely do we appreciate the blessings of
abundant rainfal-an average of "A inches for the
whole state Gin 1912 it was 4S inches). Compare
this with the scanty supply of the western half of
our country, ranging from 25 inches down to 10
inches and less in an entire year. 1t is true that
they practice irrigation with great success, but let
it be remembered that irrigation does not in
crease the total amount of water falling upon
given area; it only takes the quota falling upon
one part and conveys it to another. Often there
is not enough for all sections of given area and
the shortage leads to strife and constant legal
chickering's in the courts, witnessed in Colorado
and other states of the semi-arid regions in recent
years. The blessings of irrigation should not, of
course be ignored 1t alone has made possible the
rapid development of many of the great common
wealths of the West. There is place for irrga-
ton in many parts of the humid East, and it
will undoubtedly be utilized more and more in
ing years
The soils of Kentucky, in most states of such
large area vary in quality, but most of them are
good and some of superlative excellence Where,
as in some large they somewhat lacking
in one two of the essential constituents of soil
fertility, these elements be cheaply supplied from
the superabundance of neighboring areas with great
success and profit Suitable temperature conditions,
ample rainfalls, good soils together form a guaranty
of generous harveSts. Combined with good and
ample markets, they insure when rightly utilized,
liberal degree of agricultural prosperity.
While the urban markets of Kentucky still
somewhat limited many of them yet in need

and vegetables than they are able now to secure

See Regret at Situation.

The position the Administration
seems to have taken is that the Cali
fornia attitude does not represent the
sentiment of the great bulk of the
American people. 1t is felt that there
is a general feeling of admiration for
the japanese and their achievements,
that most Americans feel a genuine
friendship for the Japanese and are
sorry to see the question raised in
the manner brought about by the Cal
ifornia legislation.
1t is held by the Administration that
there is no need for further communi-
cation with Governor Johnson.

THREE MEN STILL MISSING IN
MURDER MYSTERY

The mystery surrounding the muir
der of James Asques, wealthy Italian
cafe owner, is still giving the after
noon papers opportunities for some
fine imaginative writing.
A white Hand organization, dis
covered by the Journal, supposed to
be the nemesis Of the BLACK Hand, >"
seems to be off the job today. Prob
ably the Maroon Mitts" or the pink
Paws" will get to work on the case
tomorrow.
Mrs. Lizzie Desamone, wife of
Nicholas Desamone, in the rear of
whose home, 4943 S. Dearborn
street, Asques' body was found, was
formally booked on a charge of muir
der. She was released on $4,000
bonds because of her delicate condi-
ton.
Nick Desamone, his brother Tony,
and Leonardo Carvelli are still miss
ing. They have not been seen since
the day Acques' body was found.
The efforts of the police are cen
tered on apprehending these three
men. They are believed to hold the
key to the mystery, and know why
Acques was slain, even if they did
not actually commit the murder.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-07-18

Capt. Meagher of the Desplaines
street police today identified Mrs.
James ACqUes, widow Of the dead
man, as Marie Belmont, former
keeper of a fiat at Madison and Nor
gan streets. He asserts she was con-
Quoting a questionable place less
than a year ago.
Mrs. Acques says she was mar
ried to AcqUes three years ago in
Butler, Pa. She will be asked to
reconcile these two statements.
Theory that the murder was the re-
suit of an arson plot, which the pO-
lice never seriously considered, has
been entirely disposed Of. A tangled
love affair is now thought to have
been the cause of the murder.
Mrs. DesamOne denied that she
knew Acques well, and declared there
was no cause for her husband to be
jealous of the cafe proprietor. She
has been married five years.
Attorney Bernard BaTasa, who de-
Tended Acques when he was charged
with arson in connection with the
burning of his employment agency
several months ago, said the slain
man had received numerous phone
calls and letters.
Demands were made on him for
money, according to the attorney.
Barasa had an appointment with Ac-
qUes for last Monday afternoon. Ac-
ques failed to show up, and his body
was found Tuesday morning.
Apparently the young Italians
enemies knew of the intended meet
ing, and, believing he would give val
liable information against them, de-
cided to seal his lips forever.
