Ex-Pres. Taft Declares
Philippines Are Not
Ready For independence

Rgspondir to an inquiry in refer
cnce to his views on the outlook for
the Philippines, eX-President Taft
writes as follows:
New Haven, Conn. Jan. 2O.-I
don't think the F'ilipinos will be ready
for independence for two generations,
and those who glibly say we can drop
them now are not quite advised of the
difficulty of a severance. have
letter from Mr.. Root suggesting that
we might treat them as we did Cuba.
Cuba is near at hand. The Philippines
are 1000 miles away from our western
coast. If we make the same agree
ment with tho Philippines that we did
with Cuba, by which we guarantee the
integrity of a Philippine republic, and
promise to preserve order and main
tain the guarantees of life, liberty and
property, we shall part with the power
but retain the responsibility in a way
which I think would involve us in a
great deal of trouble.
I send you copy of Mr.. Roots
letter to me on the subject and my
answer, so that you can see the two
views. I have a fear that our rela-
1ions to Cuba are going to give us
more trouble than they already have
in the past. A fortiori will the Phil
lipines be a continuing sore unless we
maintain our control and deal justly
but firmly with the problem? Mr..
Roots fear that each recurring ad-
ministration will change the govern
ment of the Philippines, I do not
share. If we go back and restore the
condition before the Democrats took
hold, they will never disturb it again.
I think we could then establish a con-
tinuing national policy.
Sincerely yours,
WILLIAM H. TAFT.

CITES BENEFITS
DERIVED BY U. S.
Senator Cummins Declares
That Value of Munitions
Amounted to $161,964,27S
BY associated Press


Washington, Jan. discrimination
of private profit as an influence for
war by government manufacture of
all war munitions was urged in the
Senate to-day by Senator Cummins
of Iowa, Republican. He pleaded for
prompt adoption of his resolution
which would authorize special COM
mittee to inquire into the most feasible
plan for acquiring and constructing
plants to supply the army and navy
with all arms, ammunition and equip
ment. including ships, and to report
on the exchange necessary to put
private manufacture of such products.
Without discussing preparedness in
detail, the Senator said he believed
that somewhere between the armed
camp of William of Germany and the
open dove cote of William of Nebraska
there must be an honorable abiding
place for a great nation which is pre-
pared to lead the world toward peace,
but will not submit to injustice or
indignity."
Tells of Wars Effects
Emphasizing the effect of the Eu-
Topean war on private munltion
makers in the United States, he told
the Senate that since the war began
there had been 174 new corporations
organized in this country for the
manufacture of munitions and the
value of arms and munitions exported
fin fifteen months had aggregated
$161,964,27S: He submitted a table
showing the following estimates of the
amounts of war contracts of some of
the large corporations:
American Car and Foundry, sS5,
100000.
American Locomotive, 100000, 900.
IL 4
Baldwin Locomotive Works, $780,
100000
Bethlehem Steel Company, 1900
shells daily together with field guns
and other like arms.
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
$4,000 tons of steel rounds.
Crucible Steel of America, $1O,600,-
600.
General Electric, $6S, 900.
New York Air Brake, $20,242,0O0.
Westinghouse Air Brake, $2O,OO0,-
900.
Westinghouse Manufacturing Com
pany, S100,000,000
This does not include" the Sena-
tor continued, 'the contracts of the
Chalmers Manufacturing Com
pany for shrapnel shells or the Du
Pont Powder Company for explosives
or the Electric Storage Battery Com
pany or the General Chemical Com
pany. or the General Motors Company
or of the Lackawanna Steel Com
Dany or of the Tennessee Copper
Company, all of which are immense
concerns and have been largely en-
gagged in the same general business"
The Senator read from another
table to show unparalleled increases
during the war in the market value
of stocks, listing score of concerns
Sn which stock values had increased
in the aggregate $432, 2,056,50O.

Wood Declares Universal
Service Is Necessary
Special to the Telegraph

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 20.-Before
the Senate Committee on Military AT
fairs yesterday, Major General Leon
ard A. Wood, former chief of the gen
eral staff of the army and now com
mander of the Department of the
East, expressed his belief that the
country would not be secure against
attack before a system of universal
military service was adopted.
General Wood was not arguing for
such a system now. He realized that
1t was politically impossible But he
seemed to carry the committee with
him in plea for regular army
larger than that advocated yesterd
by Secretary of War Garrison and for
reserve force that would be wholly
federal in its control and that would
altogether ignore the State milltias.

COTTON BELT CROP ROTATION

(By C. E. Alfred, Division of Exten-
sion, University Of Tennessee)
In most parts of the cotton belt the
practice of growing cotton almost con.
tinuously is changing. This system
failed to keep up the fertility and the
humus supply of the soil, and also
failed to provide stock food.
The following is an especially good
rotation for the cotton belt:
First year-Cotton.
& Second year-Gorn, with cowpeas be-
tween the rows.
Third year-Winter oats, followed
by cowpeas.
With this rotation the same family
can farm practically three times as
large an area as when nothing but cot.
ton is grown. All the cotton that can
be picked can be raised, and by prop.
erly organizing the work, the other
crops can be raised besides. This re.
quires that two and three-horse teams
be used.

Even with these requisites, ready

size of his holdings rapidly. There is
no regular market where registered
stock may be shipped and sold, so that
the breeder must consider methods OF
letting the world know of his product.
Naturally, as good animals are dis
tributed from his farm, they become
the best possible sort of advertising.
1t is also advisable, as progress is
made, to exhibit specimens from his
herds and fiocks at county, district and

SPRAY FRUIT TREES
EARLY AND OFTEN
Even If Nothing Has Yet Been
Done Orchard Can Be Pro.
teCted BY Prompt Work
WHAT SPRAY TO USE AND WHEN
Some Varieties of Fruit Require Spe-
cial Attention-All Require Some
Care to Get Best Fruit for Table
and for Market.

(By Charles A. Keffer, Division of Ex-
tension, University of Tennessee.)
1t is impossible to grow good or
chard fruits without spraying the trees
while the fruit is developing. One can
have apples of kind-wormy, scab-
by, rotted apples-that will scarcely
sell at any price, and are too poor to
offer to friends. But the man who
wants to sell his fruit at profit, or
who takes pride in the fruit he sup
plies his friends, must spray.
Self-boiled lime-sulphur solution, or
prepared lime-sulphur solution diluted
fifty to one, is the best spray for
peaches. 1t is now too late to prevent
wormy fruit, but next year as soon as
the bloom falls, spray the peach trees
thoroughly with three to four pounds
of arsenate of lead and six pounds of
lime to, fifty gallons of water. When
the calyx or husk falls from the
peach--about three weeks after the
bloom has fallen-spray with prepared
lime-sulphur solution, one gallon to so
gallons of water, to which add three
pounds Of arsenate of lead.
II no spraying has been done yet
pared lime-sulphur solution diluted
one to fifty. Repeat this spray at in
tervals of three to four weeks until
a month before the variety is ripe.
Early varieties such as Greensboro
and Carman will require two sprays;
Elberta, three; and late peaches from
four to six. A good force pump should
be used and thorough job should be
made of 1t.
Bordeaux mixture is the best spray
for apples. The first spraying should
be done just after the petals fall and
before the scales at the end of the
tiny fruit close. Use four pounds
copper sulphate and six pounds OF
lime to so gallons of water, and add 4
pounds of arsenate of lead to the
solution. The copper sulphate (blue
vitrioD is dissolved in a barrel or
other wooden vessel, and the lime

lime and pour the two solutions to.
gether, adding water enough to make
SO gallons. Apply with as much pres
sure as possible to force the spray into
the blossom ends of the fruit.
After the first time, applications
should be made month apart, omit
ting the arsenate. Summer apples
should have three sprayings and win.
ter varieties six. The late varieties
are subject to bitter rot, which can
be controlled best by frequent spray.
