baking soda to each cupful Of pulp In
all recipes in which the pulp is heat
ed This removes whatever astrin.
gency there may be in the fruit and
does away with all risk OF puckered
mouth. A number OF practical recipes
calling for the use of persimmon pulp
are contained In the bulletin.
) In the propagation of the persim
mon. certain precautions that are nee.
essary In the case of the other fruits
should be observed. Seeds gathered
for propagating purposes should be
stratified at once. II they are allowed
to dry out it is often necessary to
soak them for two or three days before
they are planted. boiling water being
used for the purpose. The seed bed
in which the seedlings are grown
should be well drained with rather
light soil and n good supply OF humus.
The ground should be deep plowed in
order to permit the penetration Of the
long taproots which are characteristic
Of the tree.
The roots of persimmon trees sprout
readily when the top is removed and
this accounts for the persistence at
times Of clumps OF sprouts In fields
where they are not wanted II also
enables small pieces OF roots six or
eight inches long to be used for propa.
eating. The ends of the roots should
be sealed with grating wax or pitch in
order to prevent decay. and the pieces
buried in sand through the winter. II
the moisture supply is plentiful they
will then grow readily the following
spring. Cuttings OF branches may be
used in the same way as the root cut
tings.
In cases where is is desirable TO
graft, the operation is usually most
successful II It is put of until the trees
have definitely started into new
growth. II Is also of the utmost i'm
portance that the cut surface of both
bark and wood be protected with as
little delay as possible from exposure
to the air. Grating wax. waxed cloth
or similar devices are used to afford
the necessary protection. The various
methods OF grating are discussed In
some detail In the new bulletin.
In addition to the value of the fruit
for household purposes. persimmor
wood is used to a large extent by
manufacturers OF cotton mill supplies
who make bobbins from it. II is also
used for shoe lasts. The live trees
are In considerable demand for shade
and ornamental purposes and one au
thority states that as a shade tree or

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of AgrIcultuTel
Despite the fact that the only fruit
which equals the persimmon in food
value is the date, many persons who
have persimmon trees on their land
are making no use OF them. and there
has been comparatively little effort
made TO develop the trees commercial
ly. In q new bulletin, Farmers Buile-
tin No. eS5 of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, some OF the
many uses to which the fruit can be
put are described and methods OF
propagating the trees discussed.
The persimmon is found in large
numbers over the southeastern quar-
Ter of the United States and in some
places as far west as Iowa and east
ern Nebraska, and as far north as
Rhode Island, New York and Michi-
gan. The real persimmon belt. how
ever, may be said to extend from
Maryland. Virginia and the Carolinas
westward through Missouri and Ar
kansas. Where the tree Is most album
dant there Is considerable prejudice
against Il because OF the persistency
with which the young sprouts come up
in cultivated fields, and also because
OF the puckering astringent effect of
the unripe fruit. There is a saying
that persimmons are good for dogs.
hogs and 'possums." but this is unjust
to a product which can be made very
useful to man.
At the present time a few growers
In the persimmon belt who have easy
access to markets in large cities have
built up quite a considerable demand
for persimmons. and the wild fruit can
also be sometimes purchased during
the autumn and early winter. A mum
Der of nurserymen also sell Seeding

which they are very effective, and a

One obstacle to the more general
/ idea that they are not fit to eat until
\ they have been touched by frost In
consequence many persimmons which
ripen and fall to the ground before
/ frost comes are allowed to go to waste
AS a matter of fact. IL may be said
/ in general that the best varieties are
those which ripen just before the trees
shed their leaves. II persimmon Is
not edible before frost. II is simply
because the variety happens to be q
late one and the fruit is not ripe. In
order to be on the safe side. however
II is recommended In the bulletin al

Government Wins Vote
Buying Case.

Indianapolis. April S.--All OF the q
defendants. including Mayor Dom M.
Roberts, in the Terre Haute election
fraud cases were found guilty by q
jury on Tuesday. The case has been
on trial in the federal court here
since March 8.
Judge Anderson announced that
sentence would be passed on the q
who were found guilty and the SO
who have pleaded guilty next Monday.
The federal government based its
claim to jurisdiction on the fact that

that qualified voters were prevented
from exercising that right. that quail
fed persons were prevented from serv-

due process Of law. The final count
charges a scheme to defraud the gam.

RepubIlean Guidance Needed.

The Democrats blame the war.
They harp upon that one string. Yet
the enormity Of their financial excess
is a fact that cannot be eradicated.
The country has an unproductive and
discouraging tariff law, an unwieldy
and little serviceable currency law; an
inquisitorial income tax law, and a
burdensome so-called war tax law. Yet
1t stands In the place Of the money
lender begging-or presently will do
so-for funds. The story OF the last
congress does not make pleasant read.
ing. Mr.. Gillett IL right in saying that
the trails of revenue failures and prof
legacy lead to the executive chambers
and point to the president and his cab
met as primarily responsible. 1t is
unfortunate that the country should
not now have the opportunity OF ex-
pressing itself. SO as to turn It's affairs
over to the competent Republicans
and to discharge the incompetent DEM
ocrats.

RECORD N SPENDING
Democratic Congress- Has Set

Promised Economy, Made Before the
Election. Has Given Place to the
Most Reckless Expenditure
In the country's History.

The administration IL in the posi-
ton Of the young man who inherited
fortune which he thought 1t impos-
sibie to spend. when he received a no
tice from his bankers that he had
overdrawn his account Three years
ago when the Democrats met in Balti-
more, they denounced the profiigate
waste OF the money wrung from the
people by oppressive taxation through
the lavish appropriations Of recent Re-
publican congresses" and they prom
ised to return to that simplicity and
economy which BELTS a democratic
government" There was a surplus Of
$166.000. 900 in the treasury when the
Democrats came into power. They
feared surplus and proceeded to re-
duce It both by checking the inflow Of
revenue and increasing the outgo OF
expenditures. and Chairman F1tzger-
aid now points to the danger of q huge
deficit. the issue of bonds. and the pos
sible increase OF vexatious taxes. In
two years the Democratic congress
has appropriated $2.231 100000 or
nearly $200,000.000 more than its most
extravagant Republican predecessor,
and the administration made strenu-
GUS efforts to secure about 500. 000. 900
more. This same Democratic con-
gress changed customs taxes which
did not reduce the cost of living. and
introduced new and vexatious taxes
which call for an inQuisition OF every
mans income. Then 1t added more
vexatious war taxes in time of peace.
and at the close finds that 1t has used
up all its revenues and 125.000.000 of
the nest egg left by the Republicans in
the treasury.
