BARKING AT THE MOON.

Some Republicans have so far
forgotts--cir h=sc decfarE rEtt;;0ns as
70 Tttempt to make the tariff an issue
In the present campaign. The Re-
publicans and Progressives alike de-
manded a tariff commission that
would take the tariff out of politics,
and now that there is a tariff COM
mission provided for, they are trying
to drag the whole subject back to
just where 1t was before.
The great argument in regard 10
Is over Europe Is going to food our
markets with cheaply made goods,
= and all our industries will be forced
. 70 shut down. The argument is far
fetched for three reasons.
In the first place, no man on the
face of the earth knows what the
conditions will be like when the war
is over. We have never experienced
anything like the existing conditions
before and therefore we cannot tell
what it will be like when these con-
ditions pass. We do not know
whether we will need the highest
tariff we have ever had, or whether
we will not want any tariff at all. We
may guess and imagine, but no one
knows. One opinion is as good as
another, and there are all kinds of
opinions advanced by the brainiest of
men.
Secondly. 1t Is idle talk for great.
big, rich America to be all of a
tremble even now, as some of the
Republicans appear to be, for fear Of
poor, impoverished, war-stricken
Europe that is piling up not only
misery and woe, but financial debt at
the rate of millions a day. 1t is like
q great, big Newfoundland dog, all
sleek and fat, that has been we'll
cared for for years, being afraid Of
some poor dog that has just been in
life and death struggle, that has
had an eye put out, a leg broken, an
ear chewed off and otherwise maim-

land dog should show fear in the face
Of such an adversary then the big.

Here in America we are prospering
as never before; our banks are

to be afraid to meet Europe in her
present exhausted and crippled state
Is disgrace to American manhood
and to American brains and ability.

she will have her hands full recon-

busily destroying, without thinking
about coming to America to compete

will be needed in every branch Of
Industry. and there will be really
more for us to do when the war is
over in helping to rebuild Europe
than there Is today in manufacturing
munitions to aid in the destruction
that is now going on.

RED SPIDERS HARM
YOUR RASPBERRIES
Flowers Of Sulphur Is Recon-
mended as Excellent REM
edy for These Parasites.

CBy C. p. GILLETTE, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
During dry seasons like the present,
a great many people complain of the
red spiders or brown mites infesting
their raspberries, currant bushes,
sweet peas, and many other plants,
shrubs and trees. These mites usual
ly are most abundant on the under
side of the leaves and are too small to
be readily seen by the naked eye. If
the red spider is doing the injury, a
very delicate web will always be found
covering the surface of the leaves.
Remedies.-Flowers Of sulphur Is,
perhaps, the best remedy, wherever It
can be thoroughly applied to both the
upper and the lower surfaces Of the
leaves. Use in the proportion of one
pound of the sulphur to about four
gallons of water. First, mix the sui
phur in a small quantity Of soapy
water and then dilute to required
strength. Apply through any spray
pump that may be at hand. 1t is just
as well to make the application dry,
if one is provided with bellows or
busting appliances to distribute the
sulphur.

RACE coLoRING DUE TO FOOD
Diet of Various Peoples Said to Be
Real Cause of the Difference In
Hue of Skin.

Certain authorities hold that the pig
mentation of the races Is due to feed
ing. II is pointed out that in the ami
NAL world color Is often determined
by food, and II is contended that by
chemical process the same results are
shown In the different human races.
According to this theory. the original
man was black. since his chief diet
must have been vegetation. Fruit and
vegetables contain manganates that
ally themselves with iron, constituting
q ozark brown combination"
Negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only vege-
tables.
Indians are red, 1t appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
haemoglobin, the red substance In the
blood of animals killed for food.
Mongols are yellow by reason of the
fact that they are descended from
dark fruit-eating races who penetrated
into the plains of Asia, became shep-
herds. and lived to great extent on
milk, which contains chlorine and has
a bleaching effect.
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whittier by adding salt
to their dietary. Common salt is a
strong chloride and a powerful agent
In bleaching the skin. The effect can
be seen, 1t Is declared, In the case OF
negro children who have been reared
on "white" dietary. They are never
as black as their kindred who have
not abandoned vegetarianism.

hardships Come First.

Lucky" Baldwin was one Of the
weli-known characters on the Pacific
coast up to n few years ago, when he
died. Mis- case Is contradictory In a
way. as his 'luck" came only after
such struggles and hardships as few
men go through. AS prospector he
was near death many times and lived
in desperate poverty for tie greater
part of his life. Then he made strike
in prospecting which left him fabulous
ly wealthy. His sobriquet of Lucky"
is a decided misnomer here, especially
as family troubles and litigation EN-
Uttered his last years.
In glancing over the lists of those
who control the largest fortunes in
this country, IL Is often impossible
to realize how 1t comes that men of
such varying qualities attain success.
Where does this success come from.

The cultivated orchard is more pro-
ductive and consequently more profit
able than the average orchard, which
Is neglected or In which grass or hay
is grown, asserts f. s. Merrill, assist
ant in horticulture, Kansas State Agri-
cultural college.
''In the young orchard, however, a
judicious system Of intercropping may
be practiced without causing injury to
the trees, and at the same time profit
able crops will be produced in the
waste space between the rows" says
Mr.. Merrill. Sufficient space should
be left on each side Of the tree to per-
NIT thorough cultivation of the tree
rows. AS a general rule, the roots of
the tree extend beyond the outer ends
Of the limbs. A strip may be left pro-
portionate In width to the spread Of
the branches.
Fruit Trees Used.
zone Of the most familiar types Of
intercropping can be found in planting
filters between the permanent trees,
and often between the rows. The
peach or some type Of early maturing
apple can be used for this purpose, but
in most cases the grower will not re-
move the filters until they have at
tanned such size as to have interfered
with the permanent trees. For this
reason the use of trees as an inter-
cropping system should be discour-
aged.
"a more successful system Of turn
ing to practical account the waste
space may be found by utilizing one OF
the cultivated crops, such as potatoes
In sections where the fruit-growing In.
dustry has been well developed the use
of small fruits has been successful
practice. Such fruits as the black.
berry and the raspberry, however
cannot be so thoroughly cultivated as
some of the general crops and for this
reason will not have so beneficial an
effect upon the soil"
An ideal crop Is one that does not
utilize the same type of plant food as
the orchard tree, makes its growth In
the early part of the season, and does
not conflict with the trees for moisture
during the late summer and early fall
months when there is possibility Of
drought, in the opinion of Mr.. Mer
rill.
The use of such crops as wheat. ant
usually Of alfalfa because of its heavy
drain on the soil moisture, is question
