THE ORCHARD IN WINTER.

There are several types Of winter In
jury that have to be met in different
ways.
Low winter temperatures have to be
met by preventive measures. These
consist chiefly in sending the orchard
into the winter season under the best
physical condition and in the best
vigOr.
Root freezing can be prevented only
by some covering on the soil, such as
mulch or snow. This type OF injury is
not very common. but may be disas-
trOus at times.
Moderately high elevations on rolling
land with good air drainage offer one
Of the most general and effective pre-
ventives.
Good cultivation and the retention Of
adequate water supplies in the soil Of
'er other means of insurance.
Late fall drought is to be looked
upOn as a distinct danger. In sections
where irrigation is possible it may be
lest to soak the soil just before freez-
ing.
The killing Of fruit buds by late
spring frosts is phenomenon by itself
and can be met by special means. The
oommOnest Of these are whitewashing.
smudging and heating from oil pots. Of
which the last named is distinctly the
best.-COuntry Gentleman.

Tie iOduc u Citc COuttby. WEN eALClA
week of the winter months of the past
two winters the county engineer has
had practically nothing to do, but he
has done little or no surveying. The
blame is on the Levy Court, however,
for not seeing that the law is obeyed.
No road in the county is less than
thirty feet wide, but as the engineer
will not survey the road, a supervisor
does not know the boundaries, and
must either confine his work to a ten
or fifteen-foOt road or get into trou-
Bile by plowing up what some tres
passer considers a part of his field.
On the intelligence and efficiency of
the Levy Court of Kent County and
the county engineer and road super
visors during the next two years de-
pend largely the success or failure of
the agitation for abolition of the Levy
Court and substitution of three COM
missioners. We opposed the change
at the recent session of the Legisla-
ture, but if the Levy Court and its
prove incompetent or in
efficient we shall not hesitate to favor
a change by the next Legislature. We
do not think the county engineer has
obeyed the law in the particular re-
ferred to, and we think he has failed
in other respects, but last year he was
new at the job, and we hope he will
do better this year. We are interested
in the county and our roads, and not
men, and we shall not hesitate to crit
icise when we think it is deserved.

NJ. P. CONFERENCE STRIKES
THE DELAWARE LEGISLATURE

Resolved, That this conference ex.
presses its condemnation of the atti-

was not enough Christian manhood
therein to pass any advanced temper

members throughout the State of Del
aware to support for Office only those
men who have stood by the temper
ance cause at the last session, and who
will at the next session obligate them
selves to vote for Statewide prohibi-
tion.
And be it further resolved, That a
copy of this resolution be forwarded
to the two evening daily papers of
Wilmington, Delaware, known as "Wil-
mington Every Evening" and "The

Fertilizer Tests on Peach Trees.

ANoNo OA C0NM AAENos
Prof. C. A. McCue, of the Horticul-
tural Department of Delaware Col
lege, together with County Agent d.
.. Pence, are conducting some fertil-
lzer demonstrations in peach orchards.
These orchards have been selected in
every part of the county, so that OBJ
servatiOn of the results of this fertil-
lzer application is within the reach of
all. Aside from this, some studies
will be conducted in various systems
Of pruning, thinning of fruit, packing
and grading for market.
The fertilizer that is used is simply
varying amount of sodium nitrate,
according to the needs of the orchard.
The following farmers are co-operat-
ing in this work: H. NJ. Cooper and
r. Young, near Cheswold; E. S. Voss
and c. Dybeck, near Hartly; William
Webb and Thomas Cook, of the Ridge
ly farm, both near Dover; J. L. SOper,
Magnolia; w. E. Maloney, Lebanon;
S. S. Sarde, Camden; Hubbard Cooper,
Canterbury; J. F. Price, FELTON,; John
Heyd, west of FELTON,, and w. D. Shoe
maker, Woodside.
There are other demonstrations
that are cooperating in the study of
nitrate as a top dressing for grass
and wheat. A number of farmers are
doing this same thing for themselves
under the direction of the County
Agent. This will give almost every
community an opportunity of making
on the value of sodium
nitrate as a top dressing for their field
crops, as well as on peaches. We want
to know if this is profitable under our
own conditions before the practice is
recommended generally.

WILLOW CREEK DISTRICT
 HAS GREAT FUTURE

SEWARD. Sept 21.- Splendid re- ports of conditions in the Willow creek district were brought there last night by Attorney Maurice D. Leehey. of Seattle who has just completed @ tour of the entire section.
 "Outcroppings along the three-sys- tenn which has been traced over an area of 12 miles in this field would warrant the establishment of DO min ing plants Ike the Gold Bullion and Alaska Free Gold and Independence properties" was Leehey's startling statement
 There is still room for the pros pector ln that district" he continued. This is shown by the fact that new claims on the same formation were located this year on ground usually covered with snow which was uncov- cred this summer.
 "All Of the quartz in the formation does not contain gold. but an of the values are in quartz which gives op- orators a chance to arrive at a den- nite estimate of values"
 Leehey declined to be interviewed on the cause of his visit to the sec. tion other than to say that sale may soon be effected of the Matanuska Gold Mines. limited property which lies in the district.
 Some of the new development work going on in the field includes tunnel wor on the Mable mine. where a 2.7OO foot tram is to be built Fred Laub- ner and Charles Bartholf are doing tunnel work on the Bartholf claims and Lane mill will be shipped to the ground this winter.

ARCHIBALD SPOKE IN
 ST. LOUIS IN MARCH

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2S.-James F. J. Archibald. the American newspaper man upon whose person were seized the now famous Dumba letter, lectur- ed in SC, Louis last March before TOO perosns at the Liederkranz Club. He showed a remarkable set of moving pictures and 150 colored views in connection with his lecture.
 Archibald declared he had spent months with the German army and that. without credentials. he was per mitted more liberties than any other correspondent at the front His strik- ing moving pictures of the German army, von Hindenburg and the Kaiser at close range. reviewing troops on parade, bore out Archibald's claims. Why an American newspaper man, without credentials, was SO signally favored caused some speculation.
 Archibald in his lecture upheld Ger man methods of warfare.
 He declared the United States is hated by all the belligerent nations, "and the only European friend we have is Spain because we have not taken sides" Among other things. Archibald said then;
 After this war is over it is not im- possible that the nation that wins will make war on the United States. We should have a big standing army and should begin to prepare at once."- (St Louis Republic)

The Canker Quarantine.

Inspectors of the State Plant Board
are examining the citrus groves and
nurseries of the state as soon as such
properties are suspected of contain
ing canker. F. NJ. O'Byrne, State
Nursery Inspector, advises that if
citrus men find anything on their
trees which is known to be, or sus-
pected of being, canker or if there is
any disease with which they are un-
familiar, they should notify the office
of Plant Commissioner, Gainesville, or
any of the inspectors.
The following quarantine rule has
been adopted and it should be OBJ
served not only by those men known
to have canker on their property, but
! by those who suspect it pending eX-
amination by an inspector.
Every grove, nursery or separate
plant situated in the State of Flor
idaa, which is, has been or shall be-
come affected with citrus canker is
hereby declared to be the center of an
infected and dangerous zone, which
zone shall extend for a mile in every
direction from said center and within
which center and zone all trees,
plants or nursery stock are declared
to be plants likely to carry and dis
seminate citrus canker. The plant
| ing or movement of citrus plants
within such area is hereby prohibit
ed, until such time as in the Judgment
of the Board such dangerous condi-
tions may have ceased to exist.
No certificate shall be issued for
the movement of nursery stock from
nursery outside of such zone in
which vehicles, teams, laborers or
other persons, nursery implements,
and other things enter, that likewise
enter or are used in any nursery or
grove infected with citrus canker." >
