USE CARE IN BUYING TREES
Reliable Nurseries Should Furnish
Plants at Lower Prices Than Same
Goods Through Agent.
OBy II. G. THOMPSON)

CBy II. G. THOMPSON)
When possible TO do 80 purcha e
trees directly from the nearest relia-
BILE nursery firm. The proprietors OF
such nurseries should furnish good
trees at lower prices than the same
goods can be bought through an agent.
The honest agent whose credentials
show that he is doing business for q
reputable nursery is to be encour-
aged.
Have no dealings with the unreli-
able tree peddler. who is abroad in
the land deceiving the people with
exaggerated pictures, who buys up
Gull stock and mixed lots of seedlings
not infreGuently affected with diseases
and insect pests, who represents such
goods to be some new and superior
fruit. and who sells his stock at
several times the price our best
nurserymen ask for first-class trees.
Buy trees that have been inspected
for dangerous parasites and look for
certificate of inspection on the pack
age before you accept 1t.
Trees one year old from bud or
graft are usually the proper age to
plant. but some slow growing sorts
may be two years old before planting.
Under no circumstances should trees
over two years old be planted for
they receive a greater check in trans
planting than younger trees and do
not make as good growth. They are
more likely to be broken in digging
and packing and the cost Of transpor-
tation is greater. Young trees can be
pruned and trained to suit the ideals
of the grower better than older trees
for they will not have large branches
on them.

Whitewash the Stables.

Although whitewash is not an active
disinfectant, in the usual meaning OF
the term, it is an excellent purifier
and should in all cases be used in
stables after they have been thorough
ly cleansed and disinfected with other
agents. Hot whitewash for this pur-
pose is better than cold. If chloride
of lime is added to whitewash in the
proportion OF four ounces to the gal
Ion. the value of this application is
greatly increased. 1t is advisable to
whitewssh COW stables frequently at
least once in six months. and, better,
every three months where diseased
animals have been kept.

II they appear very crowded let the

agency no good results can be had.
The canes of the bushes must never

this is the case good fruit Is impossi-

fruit or flowers.
The great object in pruning is to

The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
values and marketing prices. as well
as the general economic welfare of
the community. is shown In several
concrete Illustrations which were
gathered by the United States de-
partment OF agriculture. In Lee
county, Virginia. n farmer owned 100
acres which be offered TO sell for ST.
500. In 1908 his road was improved.
and although the farmer fought the
improvement. he has since refused
$4,000 for his farm. A nearby tract
of lsS acres is said to have been sold
for $4,000. After road improvement.
the same farm was sold for $4,000. In
voted n bond issue for s250.000 for
road improvement The selling value
at that time was Sc to SIS per acre.
The selling price is now from SIS to
$25 per acre.
In another state, two farmers liv-
market learned by telephone that cot
ton had gone M IN price one dollar
per bale. The farmer on the bad
road hauled one bale of cotton which
was all he could get over that road.
The other farmer on the good road
was able TO haul four bales. The man
on the good read gained four dollars
by the rise in price, while his neigh
Dor on the bad road gained only one
dollar. A farmer in Sullivan county.

potatoes which he intended 10 market

roads, he was unable TO haul the pota-
toes at all. They rotted in the cellar.
In the meantime. the price of pota-
toes at a market point went as high

Franchise Aw aits Legislative Action

Because there is no legislature in the State of Sonora, local
 holders of the franchise to manu- facture, sell and distribute cleo tric current for the town of Nogales, Sonora, are unable to have their franchise approved at present. The town of Nogales, last July, approved the franchise and after that according to Mex ican law, the matter should go to the state legislature and then to the governor for approval. There being no legislature at present, the holders of the fran chise sought to have Governor Maytorena give his approval to the franchise. At the time he was requested to do so, he sent out notices of the request that had been made and appointed a time to hear any complaints as to such action. Roy and Tit comb, through their attorneys, Barry, Mimiaga, and Barry, pro- tested against such action on the grounds of illegality, the action not being within the governors authority. Tuesday word was received that their contentious were upheld. The matter must now await the election of legis- lature for the state of Sonora.

FINE ENGLISH MADE FINER;
HOW WILSON EDITED ELLIOT
Striking Example of Forcefui Rhetoric
Found In Revised Inscriptions.

When President Wilson revised the
inscriptions for the new postoffice
building in Washington he did not
know that they had been written by
Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard. This fact became known in
connection with the news from Cam
bridge that President Wilson had ED
tted' the copy of the noted educator.
Says the New York Evening World ed
itorially:
DR.. Charles w. Eliot, president emer-
titus of Harvard, has long been a mas
ter of simple, vigorous English. Yet
who will say that President Wilson has
not bettered DIR. EIiot's carefully pre-
pared inscriptions for the city postof
fee at Washington?
DR.. Eliot's inscription for the east
pavilion read:
Carrier of news and knowledge,
Instrument of trade and commerce,
Promoter of mutual acquaintance
Among men and nations and hence of
peace and good will.
Revised by President Wilson it be-
comes:
Carrier of news and knowledge,
Promoter of mutual acquaintance
OF peace and good will
Among men and nations.
Besides gaining in rhythm, the presi-
dents version is final. therefore more
impressive. Hence" suggests plea or
argument. An inscription should carry
| the effect of finality, not demonstra-
| ton.
DR.. Eliot wrote for the west pavilion:
Carrier of love and sympathy,
| Messenger of friendship,
| CONSIDER of the lonely,
| Bond of the scattered family,
| Enlarger of the public life.
| President Wilson revised it:
Messenger of sympathy and love-
| Servant of parted friends,
| CONSIDER of the lonely,
| Bond of the scattered family,
| Enlarger of the common life.
| Messenger" is better than Carrier
| because messenger" implies also the
| kindly impulse and act of a sender.
| Moreover, it avoids the recurrence OF
carrier" which is the first word on
the east pavilion. Messenger of friend
| ship" is general and abstract; Servant
of parted friends becomes at once

mon life is better than public life
because common" covers human fel
lowship more broadly, more sympa
thetically. Not to mention niceties OF

eminent experts-which proves, among
other things, that even where the best
of heads are employed two are better

FREEDOM OF TRAVEL.

Any man who makes study of the

summer must feel that the American peo-
pie are doing an enormous amount of
travelling.
1t Is not merely that the millionaires
are on the go, fitting hither and yon to
Kill ennui, anxious to be somewhere where
they are not, but even the little country
town shows that simple hearted people of
very moderate means9 are visiting here
and there and taking long journeys.

closely at home year after year has almost
disappeared A generation ago it was
common to see old timers who boosted
that they had not slept outside their own
houses for 10, 20 or 80 years. The iner-
tia that settled over them was appalling.
1t seemed an uhsettlng and revolutionary
effort for them to pack little grip and
go over to the next town to spend week

ltion he begins to see that his home folk,

learns that there are other points of view
and some of them are good ones.

greatly. Some people on their return
