Senator Broussard, Of Louisiana, is
one Democrat who does not hesitate
TO declare his advocacy of protective
tariff. He gave an interview a few
days ago in which he predicted that
there will be revision of the tariff,
and along upward lines" He does not
pretend to believe that this will be for
revenue, merely, but openly admits
that it must be for protection purpos-
es. He knows how the Louisiana sug-
ar industry was hit before the war be
gan. and has heard from the voters OF
his state.

MOBILIZATION OF
VERMONT TROOPS

The plans for the mobilization OF the
line troops of Vermont, which is to
take place Saturday, May 20, are well
under way, and the response on the
part of the boards of trade and busl-
ness mems organizations at home sta
tions Of the respective companies, has
been most gratifying. Favorable re-
plies have been received from every
business organization in the State ex-
cept one. The owners of automobiles,
who are to give their machines free OF
charge as means of transportation
of the infantry troops to Northheld,
have responded in most public spir-
tied and patriotic manner. The plan
has met with most emphatic approval
of military men of experience who re-
aliZe the difficulties Of such moblllZa-
ton, and who see the great benefits to
be derived from the experience in
store for both company commanders
and the machine owners or drivers.
Among those who are qualified to pass
on the value Of such a mobilization,
and who have been in hearty sym
patty with it, are Lieutenant }. G.
Waterman, U. S. Infantry, the In
spector- Instructor of Vermont Nation
al Guard, and Lieutenant Ralph M.
Parker, U. S. Cavalry, professor Of
military science and tactics and com
mandant, Norwich University.

There is a general feeling among
Democratic Congressman from the
country districts that the Democratic
leaders made mistake tactical
mistaken trying to exempt employ
es of the rural credits system from
the competitive test. On the eve OF
the campaign, this action opens up
question the Democrats would rather
not be called upon to discuss. The
rural credits system will prove expen-
sive in administration under the most
favorable conditions and farmers VIII
feel that throwing the system into
spoils politics cannot possibly help
matters. In close districts, this final
assault upon the merit system in gov
eminent service, may change enough
votes to leave few Democratic Con
gressmen at home. Men who are al
ready carrying the handicap OF Presl-
dent Wilson'S vacillation and the pad
record of the tariff law prior to the
outbreak of the war, do not relish hav-
ing more embarrassment thrust upon
them.

Is safer TO spread this heavy top trm-

work is done during the dormant sea-

The old tree must be brought down

the strain and danger from high

be done from the ground.
Cut just above a thrifty, outgrow-

limb also, so to head off tall growth
and stimulate sprouts lower down
within easy reach. This also helps
protect the tree with a network OF
small branches. This method usually
starts out suckers low down on the
trunk of the tree which must be
promptly cut away.
In sealing wounds where limbs have
been cut apply thick paint, white lead
or coal tar, the latter being prefer

sap and the sun one coat will not ell

other application should be made the

rkillful care. the same you would give
your corn or potatoes, they would be-
come many times more valuable than
all else your farm can produce. WHY
rs THIs7 WE ARE SLEEPING.
What is the Remedy
Intensive. skillful culture makes all
the difference. Ii is up TO you. Any
ordinary farmer by carefully following
the principles laid down below will
have no difficulty in three or four
years time in changing the old or
chard into veritable gold mine.
How il is TO be Done
The laws of Nature are absolute.
They are most similar with all crops.
To secure the acme in product from
any crop Nature demands good SOIL
the right kind Of fertilizer to feed the
plant; proper culture to kill all weeds
,or grass that might rob the soil or
choke the development Of the crop; re-
peated stirring Of the soil that the
necessary moisture be retained for
the crop; the spraying Of the plant to
kin all of those insects that prey on it,
retarding its growth and running its
fruit.
All this you readily give to potatoes
corn and vegetables, but has your or
.chard received all or any Of these inn
peratiye attentions?
What value in crops could be OBJ
tanned for potatoes or corn treated as
your orchard has been,
To get abundant fruitagc and the
best quality of products the orchard
must be fortified, ploughed, cultivat-
ed and sprayed with the same skill
regularity and thoroughness as the
other crops.
No other crop will so abundantly
repay you for the labor, yet so muco
of il can be done with the harrow that
it requires very little time per acre
The trees must be kept well pruned
and. trimmed.

stamped out Of the world in twenty
years if the knowledge of its proven
ton and cure is placed in the poss-
ession Of the people.
If our government was one Of
compulsion it would be comparative
ly simple to enforce the laws for its
determination, but as we must de-
pend for our laws and their enforce
ment upon intelligent public opinion,
it becomes everyone's duty to join
in this health crusade, which proper

sumption in Louisiana can be
