Hon. T. W. Sims, congressman
| from the Eighth congressional dis
trict, who is ranking member of the
committee on interstate and for
eignS commerce, and as such had an
important part in the passage Of the
eight-hour law to prevent the rail-
road strike. that was to take place
September4, was asked by the edi-
tor Of The PRoGREss what he had to
say regarding the speech of Mr.
Hughes at Springfield, ILL.,, criticizine
the president and congress for the
passaSe of said bill: Mr.. Sims said
The statement Of Mr. Hughes is
extremely unfair and intended to
arouse the prejudice ofthe shippers
Of the country by making it appear
that increase Of. freight rates will
follow the passasssof the eieht-hour
bill l1on account fhs increased cost
Eof operation.
Mr.. Hughes claims that this bill
is a force bill; that investigation
should precede action always; that
congress acted without knowledge,
and otherwise freely arraigned con-
gress for its action. The very re-
verse of this is true.
1T seemed that the railroads we're
determined to accept nothing that
did not involve sufficient delay to
supply the places Of the striking rail-
way men.
Mr.. Hughes wants to know why
lne FreSluent ana congress old not
act long ago, having had previous
knowledge that such trouble was
brewing.
NOT KNOWN IN ADVANCE
Neither the President nor con-
gress could possibly know that the
railroad companies would refuse
point blank the demands of the rail.
way traimen; neither did the Presi.
dent nor congress know in advance
that a strike would be ordered until
a strike vote was had. 1t was not

GROWERS
ASK QUARANTINE
Arizona Orange Association
Takes Steps to Keep Out
Citrus Pests.

Phoenix. Ariz. Jan 27-Absolute
quarantine against the introduction of
citrus nursery stock, or any other
nursery stock capable of carrying cit
rus pests, is prayed for in a petition
directed TO the Arizona state horti-
cultural commission This petition was
approved at a meeting of the Arizona
eulated by representatives Of that
body. Several growers Of the Yuma
valley have written the commission,
urging this drastic step. and il is IN
derstood that a similar petition can
be expected from that district.
Quarantine Imperative.
THE only way to keep this state
free from citrus pests IS absolute guar
antine, which would in no way hinder
the development Of any industry in
the state" says the orange growers
petition "On the contrary it would be
4 protection to home industry and an
advertisement for our state. This state
is now clean of citrus pests-the only
citrus growing state in the union that
il now to become infected California
and Florida were once clean; now this
great industry in those states Is TO a
large extent destroyed
Come Only Through ImpOrtatiOns.
These pests occur in a new country
only by importation A single importa-
ton from Japan to Texas and from
Texas to the other gulf states has
caused these states 70 ask the federal
government to contribute s4.0C0,00 for
use this year as part of the necessary
expense to combat the citrus canker
which is destroying the citrus industry
in those states. California is now ex-
pending yearly over 100000 to com
bat the pests"

URGES HONEST
SPIRIT IN SPORT
Dean Briggs Of Harvard
Declares Unfriendliness
Must Be Displaced.

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. 27.-The pro-
motion OF good feeling in intercOl-
legiate athletics is urged in the report
Of last seasons activities made public
by dean Briggs. chairman OF the COM
mittee on regulation of athletic sports
at Harvard university
1T is the hope OF the committee said
dean Briggs. ito avoid these chickering's
which, manifested by the press. have
from time to time aroused unfriendly
feeling. and TO establish in intercol-
legiate athletics a more generous and
open relation than has existed hitherto
There is no reason why a Harvard man
and a Yale man should have anything
10 conceal from each other regarding
their athletes or their athletic policy
strategy in a game may be lesiti-
mate and admirable; strategy in the ne
gotiations OF friendly rivals is mex
cusab1e. and constant suspicion is as
intolerable as il is unjust
The time for political maneuverinS
in athletics is gone and should never
have come Yale. Harvard and Prince
ton. closely bound together in athletic
sports, are doing their best to main
tain in that sport relation Of straight
forward courtesy

scribes the Biederman method OF graft
ing. Mr.. Biederman is now preparing
a treatise on walnut culture. which viii

ture.
Less Care Required Than for Fruit
A walnut orchard requires much less
acre than a fruit orchard. although a
walnut orchard should not be expected
to prove successful unless cared for.
Walnut trees begin bearing in smsn
quantities as early as most fruit trees
and often double the yield each year
for several years They usually begin
bearing profitably at about eight or
nine years. In the markets. walnuts
have always been a luxury and viii
probably continue so for a long time
at least. but il the production should
ever increase TO the point that they
were no longer in the luxury class. wall
nuts would become a staple article be-
cause Of their high food value and i'm
perishable character
While the feasibility Of growing Per-
sian walnuts in this part OF the south
west has not been demonstrated. there
is much evidence tending TO show that
these walnuts can and should be made
one Of our successful agricultural pro-
auctions
