BUSH FRUITS.

It would seem worth while for thought ful farmers in the 'hill ecun. ties" of the west and northwest to consider seriously the matter 9f add Ing bush fruits to their apple and peach interests. Professor w. ii. Wlcks, horticulturist of the Arkansas Experiment Station, is of the opinion that the farmer with the peach or chard could we'll afford to add small patches of strawberries, blackberries. dewberries, raspberries and goose berries and also grapes and cherries, thus lengthening his marketing sea son and making himself safe in case his peaches or apples fail. These are usually safe from disease and prices are always good. Write Professor Wicks at Fayetteville as to varieties and methods of culture.

CONDITION REPORT
 BULLS THE MARKET
Sensational Advance of S1.75 q Bale Fails to Hold to Close Canvass Indicated Trade Ex- pected Condition of 76.5.

New York, Aug. 1.-The govern ment's crop report was followed by q sensational advance of about S1.75 a bale in the cotton market today. De- .cember contracts sold up from 13.3Sc to 13.65c within 10 or 15 minutes after the publication of the bullsh crop figures, making a new high rec ord for that delivery and an advance of 26 points from last nights closing, figures. The market met a good deal of opposition at this level, however, the general list closing easy at a net advance of only 10 or II points.
 Trading was comparatively quiet before the report was published. Liv- erpool was relatively easy, while wea- ther conditions in the South were con. sidered more favorable. After open ing at decline of to Il points the market quickly rallied to about last nights closing figures on covering, but soon turned easier and showed a net loss of about 10 to 12 points just before II o'clock, with October selling lat l3.10c and January at 13.34c.
 A canvass made around the floor in- dicated that the trade was expecting a condition of about 76.5 per cent. There was an immediate rush of coy ering and fresh buying, which sent October up to 13.45c and January to 13,67c, while the first sale of July, 1917, delivery was made at 14c. At this advance of 19 to 26 points from yesterdays last quotations there was heavy selling, which appeared to be for both accounts. The official conli- ton figures were the lowest for 25 years, with the exception of 1909, and indicated the extraordinary deteriora- tion of S.S per cent for the month.
 The market closed easy.

COLT SHOWS.

Probably a dozen colt shows were held in Arkansas last fall but many more will be held this year. A colt show is a good thing if it can be held purely as a means of creating more interest in good horses and mules with the least possible amount of advertis- ing. Two general classes should be made, pure bred and grade and then q subdivision of draft and other class es. Thus one class for purebred colts and grade draft colts and pure bred other than draft colts and grade colts other than lraft. The rules should be published early in August and 1t should be required that all colts be "halter broke" at the show. It is i'm portant that good judges be secured if there is to be much educational value from the show.

SPOTTED BUR CLOVER
 BEST FOR THE SOUTH.

Washington, D. C., August Bur clover is the cheapest legume that will serve in the South as winter cover crop and prevent the washing of soil. The southern or spotted variety IS the one best adapted to conditions over the larger part of this area.
 Among the special advantages of bur clover is the fact that good stands can often be obtained from year to year without additional seeding. When once established on pasture lands bur clover will reseed itself in- definitely, provided the plants are al lowed to mature some seed at least every other year. Its use has also resulted in many instances in mater iany increasing the yield of cotton. Farmers Bulletin 693 of the U. S. De- partment of Agriculture gives direc- tions for inoculating the land and sowing the seed, and suggests rota- tions in which bur clover may be used to advantage.
 Directions for Sowing the Seed. Bur clover should always be sown in late summer or fall. In the cotton States the best time for seeding IS the month of September, but it may be seeded in August, and seedlings as late as October often give favorable results, even as far north as South l Carolina. Seedlings later than Octo- Der, however, are to be avoided when ! ever possible. as but little fall and winter growth is usually secured from such plantings. .
 When the seed is sown in the bur-. oroalcasting is the osly practicable method. To obtain a full stand by this method, from 8 to bushels of seed per acre are necessary. After sowing, a light narrowing should be gwen. In the regions, however, winch are well adapted to bur clover, U IS much more economical as rule to begin with a light seeding and to 0epend in subsequent years on the volunteer crop when this is prac- 1 ticable.
 lnoculation Advisable in South.
 Tn the cotton States lack of inocula- "On apparently has often been the .@uSe oi failure in establishing bur ''OVef crops, especially when hulled seeu was sown. Usually when seed l' soWn Tn the Der there are enough Oac'era in the dust on the hurs to ,"'ufe ihoculation.

President Wilson is right in his determination to give Gen. Carranza full opportunity to demonstrate the sincerity of his pledges Carranza the other hand, cannot afford underestimate the bitterness of Amer can feeling over the massacre in Chihuahua
 Representative Slayden Of Texas spoke for Ameri- cans in general as well the people of the border States when he said yesterday that they would be sat- sfied with nothing short of the capture and execution of the murderers The work of capture Is already un- der way. the punishment must bc ruthless as the offense.
 The United States government has reason to doubt the good faith of Gen Carrauza and the Mexican authorities in this matter The Carranza representa- tive fin Washington has informed the State Department that efficient action will be taken Go bring the mur ierers to justice and efficient action Is what is needed The question at issue is whether the Carranza govern ment however sincere 1t may be- is physically capable of coping with the situation and taking such efficient action.
 fl t can. tho demands for intervention VIII soon be forgotten If N fails the situation will become more han serious.
 So far as the American people are concerned. Gen. carranza Is still on trial Public sentiment on the whole approved of the Presidents act of recognition but h was approval inspired by hope rather than conf ience That remains the attitude of most Americans.
 Their hope would be materially strengthened to the permanent benefit of the relations between the Unit ed States and Mexico if Gen Carranza were to prove that he fully appreciated the full significance of the Chihuahua crime If he does appreciate it his ef. 'orts will show N Unless he produces results that ap peal to American confidence in the power of his gov ernment there will be little public support Of him left the country.
 IT Gen. Carranza Is wise he will accept the Chihua. hua massacre the final challenge of his enemies in Mexico to his authority and meet 1t with all the force at his command This his critical period, and if he fails believe that he long sustain himself Should he succeed in capturing the perpetrators Of this infamous outrage and in bringing them sumniariy to justice he VII have established himself and popular indignation in the United States will rapidly subside Should he shrk his duty and his responsibility, the demand for intervention VII steadily increase until some day another slaughter of Americans will make 1t irresistible.
 Not only the faith of the Carranza government but the future of Mexico rest on the zeal and energy shown in the pursuit punishment Of the Chihuahua murderers

The Honorable Charles D. Hiiles who is' by the way. Chairman of the Republican National Committee, is quoted as saying. in recent interview that "the candidate who will be nominated at Chicago will be born at the Convention"
 If Mr. Hmes be prophet or the son of prophet or even f. he was born with caul then. perhaps he is compecn, to set himself up seer of his party l this should be the case we that before the political accouchement takes place. there will be great t-cpdatlon among the faithful of the Grand old Party who shall be present on that suspicious occasion that che infant shall not be into the breathing maelstrom at Chicago before his time scarce half made up; for ln view of the many uncertainties and perplexities that seem to hedge about the G.

 Prophets are plentiful even in these modern days Anyone may make predictions. and. if enough be made one or two ought to be verified.

THE TENAcLEs OF BUREAUCRACY

The tenacity of bureaucracy in government is well Illustrated by the b1l introduced iu Congress few days ago by Secretary of Commerce Redteld, refer ence to which was made in these columns yesterday Not only would the Secretary prohibit the Territorial Legislature from laying taxes on the salmon fisheries output but he would have Congress dIsaow the Terri toria revenue acts provided for such taxation This Is bureaucracy at It's worst 1t Is seldom or never seen at its best The average Washington Bureau will lend Q willing ear to any proposal that seems to carry with it an extension Of power or scope. It Is constantly reaching out ts tenaces and when fastened they are as hard to get rid Of as of devilfsh Should a limitation Of power be suggested. howl will go up that can be heard across the continent There IS some thing of the Bourbon in bureaucracy. nasmuch as
 may be truthuly said that the bureaus seldom learn and they never forget. Washington bureaucracy any kind of bureaucracy in fact is the same yesterday to- day and forever There might be hope. if improved uith age like wine for instance. It does not. how ever It becomes ncrusted with pettness. prejudice. and precedents that impair any usefulness it might oh erwise have.
 Tho Empire is not uumindful of the fact that dual taxation is undesirabe 1t should be abolished and the sole taxing power of che fisheries vested In the Terri toriai Legislature where 1t of right belongs. There could be small objection perhaps the Bureau of Fish cries exercising technical and scientific direction of the salmon fisheries jus, at 1t does. since it $ sup posed to have the equipment and experience and per sonue for such work.
 The last word in crass bureaucracy. however Is seen in the fact that Secretary Reded would have Con- eress disaow the revenue act simply at his ipse dxit ignoring the fact that the validity of the Territorys revenue act so far as the taxation of fisheries Is con cerned s now before higher court for adjudication the lower court having sustained the law

The Hon. Charles D. HHles Chairman of the Re publican National Committee palpitates with emotion when he conemplates the heroic self sacrifice of the Hon. Bill Barnes in refusing to be delegate to the Republican National Convention.
 "Nr Barnes, in my opinion, has done Q big thing throbs Mir Hles. and there great many Republ-- cans who think Mr. Hiles would be doing big thing for the party he would down and jump off the dock.
 Although the Republican party is fairly wrigglng with noble and patriotic leaders whom the people are crazy to follow transformations retirement seems to be the highest service that any of them are capable of rendering to the party That is the one thing tho Re- publican party and its Bull Moose annex have in com mon-he desrability of universal retirement on the part of all the leaders Roosevelt less than Barnes.
