THEORIES AT fault.
WHY DEMOCRATIC RULE 10 Al.
WAYe A FAILURE.
Party Has Done In the Past a. Il u
Doing Today-Peopls's Money
Wasted and Bends Forced on
the Country.

About the only consistent thing the
Democratic party at Washington is
doing. now that It Is In power, IL re-
versing every plank In Its national
platforms ande making itself respon-
sible for policies 1t condemned while
In the minority. The poor mans

now to feel the full effects Of tariff
burdened supplies. Sugar Is not only
back on the dutiable list, but Is
scheduled to pay still higher duties.
Coffee, too, faces tariff duty.
Perhaps this Democratic congress,
assuming that higher wages have
made poor men u thing of the past.
assumes that there Is no longer amy
need to consider the subject. Then,
again, 1t may be that the Democrats,
facing stern realities now about which
they cared little while not responsible
for government revenues, are ready TO
concede that ull their talk about bur-
dening the poor mans breakfast table
was just tulk-nothing more.
When government is faced with
big expenditures 1t must have big
revenues. Democrats like spendins
money so well that their appropria-
tions have been running into un-
dreamt Of figures lately. In Itself that
is bad enough, but when there is
failure to accompany big expenditures
with adequate revenue measures the
result to the national treasury Is pre-
clsely the same MS 1t would be In pri-
vate business. deficit stares you In
the face. No Democratic congress has
ever seemed to comprehend that fact.
There is nothing In the record of the
several congresses that Democrats
have controlled the past quarter of II
century to show that they realize that
II deficit must be met. When they have
found 1t impossible longer TO Ignore
one. they have resorted to bond issues
rather than to revenue measures. They
have preferred giving the govern
ment's note of hand to the good old
fashioned way of seeing to II that
enough revenue Is coming In to pay
the bills ns they fall due. Such n
policy is much too practical for n po-
litical party whose traditions are root
ed In theories.

"Pork" Before Preparedness.

The Democratic administration is
facing n deficit. Either more revenue
must be raised or great economies
must be practiced. Claude Kitchen,
Democratic leader In the house Of rep
resentatives, advocates the reduction
OF appropriations for the army. the
navy and measures OF national de-
fense. We thought so. Preparedness
Is beginning to assume Its true posi-
tion among Democratic policies. Its
necessities are to serve the purposes of
economy when Democratic simplicity
has got us Into financial pllghts. Pre-
paredncss Is TO be sacrificed ON the nj
tar on which the holy pork Is fried and
from which the slices are distributed
and the dripplngs caught.-Cinclnnati

EVERY FARMER SHOULD HAVE AN ORCHARD

is deep tillage, and the more thorough
ly this work is done the more certain
Is success.
Some plant 10 by 80 feet-that is.
the trees 10 feet apart In rows 30
feet apart. Other planters adopt dis
tance between trees Of 20, "a, or 30
feet apart each way, claiming that by
the time the trees Interfere with each
other they will have finished their
growth and the orchard will begin to
decline.
The selection Of trees is a very i'm
portant part of orcharding. If the
farmer makes his purchase direct from
the nurseryman, he will save the ex-
pense Of the middlcman or agent,
and is less liable to the mis-
takes that may occur through repeat
ed handling.
Wherever mice or rabbits exist
they are liable to do much damage to
young trees during the winter months,
especially when the ground is covered
The state herald., 1917-02-02

Every farmer, however small his
possessions may be, who lives within
the apple growing districts Of the
United States should have an apple
orchard, says G. b. Bracket of the
United States department Of agrl-
culture.
While the aim and purpose of the
farmer should be to supply an abun-
dance Of fruit for his own fam
lily, he should also be able to offer to
the outside world liberal surplus.
The apple orchard will often bring him
better returns for his outlay than any
other portion Of his farm, acre for
acre.
1t is unfortunate that some farms
do not afford the best soils and ex-
posures for orchards. But the owners
of such should not allow this fact to
deter them from planting trees and
caring for them afterward.
If possible. the site should be Gle
waited above Its immediate surround.

lection to nice, such us grass, weeds

II is only when the natural food Of

animal Is forced to resort to gnawing
the bark from fruit trees.
