wears, believes they viii ncIcr NEE;
Unless he can locate his SOL. soon.
The letter appeals pathetically for
the missing man, urging him to COM

place most convenient for you. Great
interest in orchard care has been mani
tested and people generally have come
to realize that in order to produce
good fruit and save the trees, spray

Coal Ashes.
Danger in E:me-SuIphur.

The standard spray for the scale on
fruit trees is the lime-sulphur wash.
In spraying, the hands of the man who
holds the rod and applies the spray
are usually wet with the liquid that
runs down the rod. Lime-sulphur is
caustic and will in time make the
hands sore. A case has ust been re-
ported where a man who sprayed for
one day got such sore hands that he
lost several days work and suffered
much pain. This is unusual, however,
and all risk is easily avoided b. rub
bling the hands with some heavy oil
or grease before beginning to spray.
Beware the Spray.
1t should be we'll understood that
the spray used against the San Jose
scale is too strong for the new growth
that is now coming forth on the trees.
By the time the buds are nearly open
and the new leaves putting forth, it
is too late, for the spray will kill the
flowers and leaves. Spray for the
scale only when the tree is dormant.
Never spray Il tree or plant when it
is in BLOOM. After the leaves are
cut the lime-sulphur wash must be
weakened down by adding 40 gallons
Of water to one Of the commercial
mixture. The peach and Japan plum
will not stand even that strength. A
new spray must be employed for
them. the formula for which will be
given next week No more spraying
is now in order until after the fruit
trees are done blooming. If you de-
sire to spray peach trees, lay in a
supply of sulphur, pounds for every
so gallons of spray required, and also
some arsenate of lead, Of which use
2 pounds to every so gallons of water.

licans are eager for him to be in the presidential race, believing as they do that he is an exceptionally safe and sane man and something of a states man as well as a jurist; but the proprieties restrain him from discuss ing political issues. His lips are sealed and that being so the voters do not know where he stands on cer- tain great national questions that have arisen since he was governor of New York
 Republicans who are opposed to Roosevelt still hope that the tide will turn, but there is nothing to indicate that anything of the sort will happen.
 With Roosevelt as the candidate of both the Chicago conventions, he will receive the support of a majority of those who voted for Taft, but it will be like a miracle if all the sores are healed before election day in No- uoro bo1.

Guardsmen and Other Volunteers

As a substitute for the "contlnental
 army" which former Secretary of War Garrison recommended as fea- iture of the administrations prepared
 ness programme, the Chamberlain bill in the Senate provides for volunteer
 force of about 25o,O00 men in addition to the National Guard. The House bill
 prepared by Chairman Hay stresses the liberalization of the National Guard.
 The conference committee should be
 able to agree readily on the regular
 army increase. The Hay bill calls for
 140, ,O00; the amended Chamberlain
 bill for 25O,Oo0. The compromise
 propbably will be around 100000.
 When it comes to the volunteer
 army obstinate opinion, pro and con,
 will be in evidence and as National
 Guard officers in many states are
 strongly opposed to the proposition it will not be surprising if it is dropped
 entirely in the interest of harmony ill military circles.
 Maj Gen. John F. O'Ryan of the
 New York National Guard, who has given a great deal of attention to the preparedness question and who is looked upon as military expert, says that the solution of serious problem seems to be adequately provided for in the amendment to the Chamberlain bill which requires a man who joins the National Guard to enlist in the regular army at the same time, so that he may be called to the colors at any moment.
 Surely no one will say that the National Guardsman will not be as useful in time of war as the regular if he has the proper instruction and training," says General O'Ryan. "The wedding out process is about over. l The tin soldier and the society guards man is no more. He has no place in the guard today"
 1 It is generally agreed that with the liberalization of the National Guard that organization would double in numerical strength within the next 1 few months.
 l But whatever the conference con- mittee does it should lose no time ill disposing of the main features of the
 military measure.

Calmuess in Berlin

Judging from all the reports avail able. Germany is less excited over the receipt of President Wilson's latest po+e believed at the time is was sent sn ultimatum, than the American public. This is probably due in large measure to the fact that the German government does not take the people into it's confidence as freely as the American government, but German newspapers have commented on the latest phase of the submarine contro- versy in a way that indicates no acute anxiety over the future relations of the two countries. In fact, 1t seems quite likely that Germany will make some concessions and break will be avoided. This would be gratifying to a majority of Americans, who dosnot wish war unless it is the last resort.
 That Germany will cease her sub marine activities entirely is not prob able To do so would be to relinquish her most effective means of warfare on England, and one in which she now places her greatest hopes. Later in terpretations of President Wilson's note foreshadow no insistence on the part of the American government that Germany abandon the submarine. While to do so might not be equlva- lent to accepting defeat, as some Ger man writers assert, without the sub marine England would have been so far practically unscathed by the war. The Zeppelin raids have accomplished little, although it was predicted that they would eventually lay waste London and deal vital blow at Brit ish supremancy.
 If Germany makes additional con- sessions to America, continuation of amicable relations will depend entire ly on weather or not she keeps hel promises In the past, the conduct of the German government has created a disbelief in it's sincerity. To aban- don the submarine now would mean a tremendous sacrifice, but sharp modification in it's use could be made without impairing Germany's pres tige in the war. It would certainly place her on better terms not only with the United States, but with prac- tically all the other neutral nations who have suffered from undersea at. tacks.
 The Kaiser has fine opportunity to regain some of his lost popularity by adopting more humane method; of warfare.
