THIS is not treatise" on the
scientific principles of spraying.
We all know that. in order to
have better fruit, we must spray more
How, when and with what TO spray is
fully explained in dozens OF spraying
calendars and guides that may be had
free for the asking from any adver-
tiScr. But there is one phase that is
seldom. II ever, treated thoroughly in
articles on Spraying, and that is the
necessity OF getting the best sprayer
money can buy.
You may have absolutely the best
spraying solution and the time a, which
YOU apply it may be just right but if
the apparatus with which you spray
does the work poorly, all your labor
will be in vain. A poor spray pump
simply cannot do satisfactory work
Sometimes the pressure is not strong
enough at other times the nozzle does
not work right; again. just when you
need the pump most, IT gets out of
order. and finally you give up in dis
gust,
In selecting a spray pump, let the
catalogue OF a reliable manufacturer
come TO your aid. Remember that
there are many STYLES and sizes of
sprayers, and among them there is
surely one that will do the work you
require There are small bucket spray
ers. knapsack sprayers, "Aerospras"
and lots OF other spraying apparatuses.
from simple barrel sprayers to strong
power sprayers for the man who has
large orchard.
Always pu, quality before price
When a manufacturer claims that his
sprayers cost more because they are
worth more and backs up that claim
with thirty years experience, you can
safely take his word for the truth OF
such statements. Good sprayers can
not be made or sold cheaply You can
buy "eold-hlled" ring that is guar
antced for twenty years. But If you
yourself expect TO wear it that long,
YOU usually buy a lI-karat gold ring.
Why not apply the same principle to
spray pumps
\ good spray pump will last life
time The man who puts out good
one does not have to guarantee it
he knows what it'll do and how long it
will do the work There are several
grades OF brass-Just as there are sew
eral grades OF everything-and it is
only logical that you won't find the
best brass in cheap spray pump. So
here is my final advice-spray with the
right spray pump at the right time,
in the right way. Spray with the
Worlds Best" pumps right now.

THE HUMAN TIDE.

The rise and fall of our immlgra- tion is as mysterious as the tides in some landlocked lakes, which seem to have neither inlet nor outlet, but vet have high and low water over a fixed sequence of intervals. Not long ago we were wondering why so many immigrants were leaving us' If seemed later that they had accu- rate foreknowledge of the uietness of trade which then was hidden from those learned in economic fundamen- tals. The thousands departing were so scattered in their places and trades that they had totality of informa- tion hidden from individuals and not vet in the statistics. Now we are experiencing a reversal of this ex- perience This years immigration is at rate surpassing all records. More than one million have already reached our shores in ten months of the fiscal year. Unless the move ment is checked the arrivals will ex- ceed ~1,3OO,O0O for the first year in history. It is all the more mysterious because the eastward passenger movement on the ocean steamers al so shows an increase, so that the net of arrivals is subject to some deduc- tion which cannot be accurately stat ed
 The arrivals are of the classes which in later years have come to be considered undesirable citizens. Italians from both north and south lead the list, Russian and Polish i'm migrants rank second, with Germans, English and Scandinavians poor lead CTS of the ruck in the field. Our in telligent lawmakers have legislated against the immigration of skilled la bor in deference to the prejudices of trades unions against an excess of competitiOn in their line. Therefore the labor among the immigrants is mostly unorganized and unskilled, but necessary nevertheless. It is hard to see or say how our subways would be dug, or our railways be built, with out the coarse labor which Ameri- cans despise, but demand to be done. -Ex

The administrations Mexican pol icy has hitherto been so frank in the sacrifice of nice diplomatic proprie- ties to the main purpose which we have set ourselves, that it would be a pity at this late hour to let diplo- matic metaphysics stand in the way of a settlement of which the essen tials have been agreed upon. It is absurd that a deadlock should arise at Niagara over the question whether the interim executive to whom Hu- erta surrenders his post shall be merely a constitutionalist sympathiz- CT or one of the prominent consti- tutionalist leaders. To insist that if Huerta is allowed to resign power in to the hands of a man who has not openly sworn his destruction, it would amount to recognizing Huerta, is a piece with. the fine-spun legalistic reasoning to which the Mexican mind is addicted, but which is hardly suit able to our own plain, blunt way of going at things. It is metaphysics to debate over the question of Carran- ga directly, or in favor of some con- stitutionalist public man who will pave the way for Carranza's regular induction into the presidency.
