HOUSE 0F REPRESENTATIVES,
WASHINGTON, D. C.
n
July 6, 1916.

July 3, 1916.
Editor Dispatch
/ am announcing myself as a can
didate for reelection to the office Of
1 representative in congress for the
fourth district Of Washington, ana
desire to make the following state
ment in regard to my candidacy:
i shall at the end of the present
congress have served three terms, two
terms as congressman from the third
district and one term for the new
fourth district. I have tried faith
fully to represent my constituents
since l have been a member of the
house of representatives. i am hu-
man and no more immune from the
average of mankind; but it is a
source of some pride to me that l
have received but few reproaches
from and by individuals since / have
been a member of congress, and not
a great many through the medium of
the press.
There have been many momentous
questions before the congress of the
United States since L have been a
member, possibly of equal Importance
to any that ever confronted previous
congresses. We had Canadian Rec
iprocity," the Farmers Free List
Bill" parcels POST Revision of the
Monetary System" the Immigration
Bill" the Underwood Tariff Bill"
''Governing of the Canal Zone," includ
ing "Free Tolls for American Ship
ping" Authority for using Armed
Forces in Mexico" "Extension of Post
Roads," "Government Shipping Bill
Repeal of Free Tolls for the Panama
Canal" 'Rural Credits," and many
other legislative questions of vast i'm
portance, many of which were acted
on several times before being enacted
into law or receiving final defeat.
/ have always gone on the prin-
ciple, and still believe 1 am right, that
he who talks the least in congress
usually serves his country best.
have been here more than five years
and have had no reason for changing
that opinion.
The real work is done in committee.
The printed reports of committees
give the members the information
they need and desire concerning any
bill up for passage The talk on the
floor is mostly for home consumption
and for the public to digest, and but
few votes are made or changed by
debates on the floor.
The question is, are the people of
the fourth district going to turn down
a man who has in five years only
cast two votes that caused any con-
siderable newspaper criticism?
I claim without ear of successful
contradiction that a fair analysis of
the subject of both of those votes
would lead to my being commended
for them and not condemned.

FERTILIZER FOR THE GARDEN

Numerous experiments have proved
the high value of a mixture of artificial
manure, consisting of four hundred
weight of superphosphate and two
hundredweight of su1phate of ammonia
and two hundredweight of sulphate of
potash per acre for potatoes.
This dressing should give a good
crop, even when no farmyard manure
is available, though ten tons of that
manure per acre is valuable addition.
When the last is applied the sui
plate of ammonia aid potash may be
reduced to half a ton each Trials
have proved that these manures pro-
duce their best results when placed in
drills under the seed potatoes
Growers who plant only a few rods
may have difficulty in getting locally
small quantities of the artificial ma
nures named but there are some large
town firms who sell them by the bag
A readymade potato manure from a
firm of high reputation may answ

little more than it's constituents cost

accepted and the young women have
continued to ship their blooms to this
firm.

Initials Easy to Fashion.

It is considered very smart now to
carry a colored handkerchief to match
your costume. If you are patient and
clever, you may be smarter still by
embroidering your handkerchief in a
small initial or monogram in color
One clever girl solves the monogram
or group of three initials by copying
her personal monogram from her sta
tionery. She has to enlarge it usual
ly, though in some cases this would
not be necessary. If you cannot draw
a good block letter, trace some par
ticularly good-looking letters from the
caption of an advertisement in a pa
per or magazine.
Combine your letters in square, a
diamond circle Or a wreath The
more tailored handkerchiefs with
plaid borders or striped centers re-
Quire the palmer monogram On col
ored handkerchiefs use white for the
letters: on white or plaid grounds,
use the predominating color.
The beautiful colors of the silk
handkerchiefs so much in favor offer
splendid opportunity for embroider-
ing initials in equally as beautiful
colors matching or harmonizing with
the kerchief itself. Some very charm
ing handkerchiefs are seen with a
corner or two filed in with appliqued
flowers The flowers are held in place
with blanket stitches.

No better example of simplicity in

duplicated in style in silks, and in
chiffons and fabrics suitable for use
in the house. inexpensive goods will
serve for a morning frock, and finer

While thiS design may be made up

; sumably free from insect injury, points
out Doctor Merrill.
When planting, see to it that the
hole is large enough so that the tree
may be set from two to three inches
deeper than it was in the nursery row,
is his advice.
When the position of the tree is
marked by stake, the planting board
will be found of advantage for keeping
the trees in proper alignment. This is
board three inches wide and four feet
long, with a notch in the center and
one at either end. The notch in the
| center is placed against the stake and
| a pin is placed n each Of the end
notches. The board and the stake are
then removed and the hole is dug.
The board is placed between the two
pins and the young tree is placed in
the center notch and kept in the true
line Of the stakes.
Before being set out, the trees are
puddled in mixture of clay and wa
ter. This covers the roots and pre-
vents the root hairs from drying out.
All broken roots should be trimmed
| back to the healthy tissue SO that heel
ing will be more rapid.
Many trees are prevented from grow
ing by careless planting. The earth
should be worked under the crown, for
the presence of air will kill the young
root hairs. The exclusion of air may
be effected by raising and lowering the
tree after covering the roots with two
or three inches of dirt. When the hole
is half filled and again when nearly
full, the soil should be thoroughly
tamped with the heels. Trees thus
planted are almost certain to start to
grow.
After the trees are planted they
should be headed, says Mr.. Merrill
If it is a one-year tree this will merely
| consist of removing the top of the
straight whip to the height decided for
the head. A low or northumberland
tree is preferred, as trees thus headed
usually suffer less from winds and sun
scald, and the orchard operations
pruning, spraying and harvesting
cost cOrrespOndlngly less than on nlgh
trees. If headed too low the limbs are
forced out too close together and the
trees develop serious crotches in later
years. For low heading, IS inches is
a proper height and for high heading
"a inches.
For the two-year-old trees it would
be impossible to form heads, as they
have been headed in the nursery. The
limbs should be pruned SO as to have
three to five Of the strongest and best
shoots from which to develop the scat
fold branches, which should be evenly
distributed about the trunk These
should be headed back one-half to one
third their length, preferably to an
outside bud, so as to encourage the
development of spreading tree.

Selection of varieties Of fruit trees
for planting should be based upon
their adaptation to climate, soil, mar
ket demands and to some extent upon
the personal preferences Of the grow
err, asserts T. S. Merrill, assistant in
horticulture IN the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. The last two points
are largely arbitrary-most buyers, for
instance, prefer red apples.
Certain varieties of apple trees are
adapted especially to particular sec
TONS" says Mr.. Merrill. "Only these
should be planted. To some extent
apples adapted to a climate are re-
stricted by their soil requirements.
"The market demands play a more
important part in the commercial Or
chard than in the home orchard, where
all apples are consumed on the place.
AS general rule red apples command
higher prices than either the yellow Or
the green or russets. Here the ap-
pearance of the apple rather than it's
taste influences the judgment of the
buyer. Apples of soft texture should
not be grown when they must be ham
died often and shipped to distant
market. 1t is usually advisable for a
man to grow such varieties as he per-
sonally prefers.
Fall and spring paintings are both
recommended for certain sections of
the country, but for Kansas the spring
planting has given uniformly better
results than the fall planting. The
fall-planted trees are usually severely
injured by the freezing and thawing of
the ground before the roots are firmly
established. This causes the trees to
heave, making replanting necessary
the following spring.
Despite the fact that fall planting
Is not advised it is considered a good
plan to order the nursery stock in the
fall so as to get the best trees of the
desired varieties.
There is much controversy about
the proper age of trees for planting.
The advocates for the one-year tree
assert-and rightly-that the trees cost
less, the freight charges are less, and
the trees can be headed at any point
the grower desires. A greater per-
rentage Of such trees will live be-
cause there is a large amount of the
original root system.
"Those in favor of the older trees
assert that they come into bearing
earlier. Whether or not this point is
trua other fa otorC ara i'm favor of ono
year-old trees.
GAS soon as the trees arrive from
the nursery they should be heeled
in a trench. They should be firmly
tamped about the roots to exclude air. F"

nurserymen must bear on the certifi-
cate the signature of the state ento-
mologist, which shows that the stock
has been inspected and that it is pre-
