THE PATRIOTIC MEETING

war"
Wesley Martin was the only repre-
sentative of the veterans of 1861
who was upon the speaking pro-
gram and he required no assistance
to speak for all of them. He de-
clared that this outpouring of peo-
pie reminded him of the days of 81
and said that the American people
always respond to the, call Of duty.
The time for debate has passed and
the time for action Is here. He told
of reviewing the army of Grant and
Sherman in Washington at the close
of the war and declared that those
were the greatest armies that has
ever trod the soil up to that time in
the worlds history.
Rev. Arthur Metcalf offered few
words, declaring that he was a citi-
zen of the United States from choice
and believed the country would find
its sons by adoption just as loyal and
true blue as the native born. We
are all Americans, he declared, and
there is nothing bigger. America
has been the beacon light for the
men and women of Europe and is
now ready to help them get what
we have SO long enjoyed.
c. H. Richeson talked in his char
acteristic entertaining manner, ad-
ding zest and enthusiasm to the eve-
ming. He thought the United
States would be equal to anything
that might happen and especially
the army upon the
character of the officers and men.
Prof. D. M. Kelly closed the speak
ing program and sustained his we'll
earned reputation as public speak
er. He urged the necessity of pre-
senting q united front to the enemy
and OF each person in this country
doing his part. American arms had
sawxys ..ibeen effertfve' anu -ynere Is no
doubt but they will win in the pre-
sent contest. He closed with beau-
tiful tribute to the flag.
The tone of the entire meeting
was one of deep seriousness and the
frequent applause indulged in by the
audience was evidence that the pe0-
pie present are ready to do their part
III the conflict that was impossible
10 avoid. Judging from that meet
ing there is no serious doubt in this
but that congress and the
president executed the will of the
vast majority when they Joined in
adopting the state Of war resolution.
While Webster City and the sur
county are opposed to war,
he people of this community are
'eady to accept it and take the con-
equences.
Mayor Clark thanked the large
audience for its presence and for the
evidenced.
The program was then closed with
he singing of the "Star Spangled
Banner" by the glee club.

SELECTING AND BUYING TREES. Make Up Mind Before Time Arrives
 to Plant Them.

There are two classes of people who purchase trees and plants. The first know what they want and order from some reliable firm. The second do not know what they want and order from a travelling salesman who can make ones mouth water by showing beauti- full highly colored pictures. even if not true to nature, and explaining the wonderful virtues of the plants which he has for sale. Perhaps you give him an order amounting to several dollars for plants which later prove to be of common varieties and which you could have purchased for less than a quarter the amount paid the agent. Not all tree agents are dishonest but why deal with a stranger when for a postal card you can get inforrna ton in a catalogue from Q reliable nursery man? In fact, send for several cata- logues, study them, discuss the sub ject with the family, and make out your order at your leisure.
 There is right and a wrong way of using catalogues The wrong way is to read what the catalogues have to say and then select only those varie- ties or kinds which have the longest and most fowery write-up. The right way is to put aside the catalogues and decide first what you are going to plant, whether apples, pears or peach- es whether you want early or@ late varieties, for home use or for market and how many of each. For example, perhaps you decide to have ten apple trees for family use and of those ten you want a succession throughout the season of both sweet and sour. Now you have something to work on Take your catalogues and pick out the va rieties which best fulfill your ideas and requirements. In the same way select the other fruits and plants.
 The question is often asked if home grown trees are better than those grown several hundred miles away. The best answer to this question is that many of our successful growers purchase their trees where they can secure the best stock at satisfactory prices. A saving of two or three cents a tree at the time of purchase may result in a loss of dollars per tree in future years. In any case, get first class stock regardless of cost. If you can visit the nurseryman Personally, do so. talk over your plans and often he will make helpful suggestions in regard to varieties and methods of handling the trees 4
 Make up and send in your order now. Don't wait until time to plant the trees and then receive word that they are all sold out of the varieties which you decided to have-S F. Hol- lister, Horticulture Department, Con necticut Agricultural College. I

GARDENERS PROSPECTS.
Many Uncertainties and Also Grounds for Optimism-A Professors Sum- mary of Situation for 1917.

The year 1917 IS now in full swing. Market gardeners everywhere are dis- cussing what the year holds forth for them and are trying to figure out just what to do in the nature of crops, crop acreage varieties and so on. This year is full of uncertainties, probably even more so than past years. Farm CTS do not know whether prices of vegetables will continu etc be high. Farmers do not know just what they will be able to get for labor. The chances are that it will be difficult to get any labor at all at a price which gardeners can afford to pay. FertiliZ- CTS are high likewise seeds and every thing else which gardeners must use. Freight is uncertain, weather condi- tions may be favorable or unfavora- ble.
 There are some things, however. which look rather encouraging. There will be more people this year to con sume food than last year, and people will use larger per cent of vegeta- blos because of soaring prices Of all foodstuffs, and the general publicity work being done as to the value of vegetables from a food and medicinal standpoint. All know that there will be more wealth in this country this legislation is continually being worked out more favorable to the honest grow CT; that methods of distribution are being improved;' that knowledge as to the best ways of combating different insects and fungous diseases is being widely disseminated and put into sue cessful practice. Prof. Watts in the Market Growers Journal sums the situation up by saying that farmers should try to grow the crops at the least cost and place them on the mar ket in the most acceptable condition.
