QUEENS GAS RATE Kept.
Reduction NH May Only Apply to
Thirtieth Ward, Brooklyn.

ALBANY. March 22.-Chairman George
T.. Thompson OF the Senate Committee
on Public Service. at "a hearing to-day
on New York city Gas reduction bills.
announced that the committee was not In
favor of legislation reducing the price
Of gas in Queens. but would confne
It's gas reduction bin to the Thirtieth
and Thirty-tirst wards Of Brooklyn. and
perhaps only to the Thirtieth ward.
This made unnecessary accepting the
invitation Of william y. Dykman. coun-
sci for the Ncwtown Gas Company in
the Second ward OF Queens, that tho
committee investigate testimony taken
by tho New York city Public Service
Commission which indicated that this
company could not operate at "A fair
profit except under IA 81 cent rate, the
present charge,
Il am surprised" said Judge Dykman,
ITO learn by the press to-day that the
Me- York city Public Service Com
mission is willing to abdicate its power
to fix rates and thai II has asked the
Legislature to pass an 80 cent Gas bill
for the Thirtieth and T%hirty-hrst wards
Of Brooklyn. IT is a singular confession
to come from the commission Of its in
ability to deal with this question:"
Representatives of the gas companies
IN the Thirtieth and Thirty-first wards
said nm 80 cent rate would be coniisca-
ton In the Thirty-first ward and that
a % cent rate was necessary for a fair
profit in the Thirtieth ward. II was
pointed out that AN 30 rent rate In the
Thirtieth ward established by the New
York city commission was not upheld
by the Court OF Appeals.
Previously Judge Dykman had pointed
out that Eas oil had almost doubled in
price recently and tina this factor would
! have TO be taken into consideration
where there is u rate reduction.

DECIDU0US TREES IN LAWNS
Some Reasons Why They Seem to
Thrive Better There Than
Elsewhere.

An observant correspondent writes
to ask why deciduous trees and shrubs
planted in lawns seem to thrive better
than those planted under other condi-
tions. more especially during the sum-
mer months, remarks the Los Angeles
Times.
Our dry summer atmosphere. is very
trying on deciduous trees and shrubs
for the reason that such dry air causes
the leaves to transpire faster than
the roots can take up the necessary
moisture. Such conditions during the
hot weather put the trees, figuratively,
in the position of gasping for breath.
Trees in lawns have the advantage OF
being in a moister atmosphere than
when in soil with a dry surface, and,
therefore, have to labor less and may
breathe" with greater comfort. The
soil moisture in a lawn is also more
evenly distributed over the entire root
system than could be the case where
water is applied to trees by irrigation,
either by the furrow system of in
basins. Deciduous trees always thrive
best in lawns.

FOREIGN FARMERS FIRST

During the ten month of the fiscal
year 1918, under the Republican pro-
tective tariff there was imported into
this country meat and dairy products
to the value of $4,000 600. The bulk
of this was foreign cheese. Seven of
the ten months ending April, 1914,
were under the Democratic tariff for
ss-than-revenue law, with most of
these products on the free list, and for
this ten months period foreign compel
itors sent meat and dairy products in
to the American markets to the value
of $28, 000,00 the bulk of them peing
meats. Nine of the ten months ended
April 1915, were under European war
conditions. Notwithstanding this, our
imports of these products reached the
astonishing figure of $4,000, 000 an
increase of PIT per cent over the 1913
period. Argentine meats and Canadian
milk and cream accounted for the larg-
er part of these imports. About this
time tue demands of the beligerents
for Argentine meats became heavier,
and her trade in these products veered
toward Europe, as did much of that
from Canada. For the ten months
ending April 1916, our imports of Ar
gentine meats were just so per cent of
what they were during the 1914 period,
and our total imports of meat and
dairy products were $21, 100000. The
principal after-war problem which Ar
gentina will have to meet is how to get
rid of her vast surplus of farm pro-
ducts, the production of which, during
the past two years, has been so won
derfully increased. With a Democratic
free trade law on the statute books,
the United States is the logical market
for these products and that spells dis
aster to the American farmer. With
Republican tariff law on the statute
books American farm products will be
protected. Moreover, every cent of
duty that Argentina pays to enter
these farm products in our market
will go into the Federal treasury as
revenue, and that means a lessening
of the burden of internal taxation on
the American farmer How do you
think he will vote?

PLANTS MUST BE STUDIED
Successful Culture Is impossible I'm.
less One Thoroughly Understands
Their Characteristics.

Self-education in plant growing can.
be carried on in the winter as well as
in the summer 1t is interesting to-
study the habits and requirements of.
any plant, whether it is in season or
not. There are many hardy peren-.
malls that can be started in the house.,
and if the work with them through
the winter is successful, they can be
set out of doors in the spring. This.
includes growing from seed such
plants as rhubarb and asparagus.
There is no end to the plants that may
be-thus utilized Also, plant started
and successfully brought to maturity
in the home is likely to be harder
than those plants that have been
started in hothouses and afterward
transferred to homes. If one fails
with a plant lesson should be gained
from the failure in what not to do.
If one tries the growing Of a good

are good chances for succeeding with
some of them, even under adverse con-

From the Democratic headquarters
son will himself take stump in aid of

will be the firt President who has ever
followed such course and the sight
will not be an agreeable one for the
country Most people have an Old
fashioned and wholesome notion that
there is a dignity attaching to the
Presidency and that the Chief Magis-
trate should remain in the WhiteHouse
and not GO around on the stump. The
rough and tumble debate between Taft
and Roosevelt during the bitter pri-
mary contest of four years ago was not
palatable to the people and they will
stump this year. AS for the Republi
cans, they should welcome the news,
from political standpoint. Wilson has
never yet made a speech in which he
did not make some break---aud if he
gets out on the hustings he.is sure to
let his fatal facility for words get a.
way with him; and we shall have ad
ditions to ''watchful waiting, too
