SPRAYING SCHEDULE.

The object of this schedule is an
endeavor to secure maximum results
in the production of good fruit at
minimum cost. In some cases it
may be necessary to modify these
directions should there be serious
attacks of insects or an unusual out
break of disease.
Apple and Pear.

spray material. Apply as soon as
most of the petals of the bloom have
fallen, and should be applied
promptly and thoroughly. To be
effective the material must be spray

formed majority, something we
scarcely obtain in the selection of
officials.
We may illustrate. In recent
votes in the State of Maryland upon
constitutional amendments, about
forty per cent of the entire elec-
torate have taken part, but the
propositions adopted have received
heavy majorities among that forty
per cent and have been propositions
of vast Importance to the citizens of
the State. People have to greater
or less degree informed themselves
as to the merits of the different
amendments and voted accordingly.
The uniformed, the careless and
corrupt, have automatically elimi-
mated themselves. This is vastly
better, therefore, than any educa-
tional or property qualification
which with certain measure of
justice might be the subject of
criticism. Thus under the Initiative
the real law makers are the more
competent.
Some years ago, fifteen different
propositions were submitted by
Initiative and Referendum to the
voters of Oregon. Before the cleo
ton the professors in the State
University of Oregon canvassed the
situation among themselves and a
comparison was had afterward be-
tween the results of their vote and
the result of the vote in the State
at large. In fourteen instances out
of the fifteen, the vote of the State
and of the college professors agreed.
In the fifteenth case disagreement
ensued, but two years later the ma
jority of the State came over to the
views of the majority of the profess
sors. We may, therefore, believe
that the people of the state OF
Oregon have an intelligent as well
as popular government. In these
votes in Oregon the ignorant elec-
tors largely eliminated themselves,
for, as was shown at the time, the
lightest vote on popular questions
was cast in those wards of Portland
where the average intelligence OF
the people was the lowest.
When we consider therefore, that
the more intelligent control the
Initiative in Oregon and the other
States were it exists, we may believe
that the same would be true of the
State of Maryland. The intelligent
citizens of Maryland, interested
enough to vote on Statewide ques-
tions, are certainly not less interest
ed and not less informed than whose
voting on like questions in Oregon
and other States. Our years OF
education in school and out, in books
and newspapers, have prepared US
for greater activity in government.
We will not make the best use of all
of this education until we are able
TO make it at the polls directly bear
upon propositions of general inter-
est.
After all the great merit of Direct
Legislation by the people is that
government is made a thing of real
interest to the people. The very
act of voting directly upon laws
raises the standard of political in
telligence.> We will no longer
throw the burden of thought upon
"a small, easily swayed body of men,
in the General Assembly, but the
best thought of Maryland's quarter
million of voters will be attracted to
public questions and will develop
higher intelligence by constantly
considering them. Gradually we
will rise to the true dignity of
zeal democracy.

Members of the Park county board
of county commissioners are up
against the courts of that county on
a charge of submitting illegal bills
for auto hire for viewing of public
highways and superintendending road
and bridge work. In report filed
by the grand jury of that county
last Saturday, it says: "rEe COM
missioners have no authority to per-
form road or bridge work, or to in
spect roads or bridges other than
for contract construction work."
1t is recommended that no proceed
ings be instituted against the COM
missioners, at least until such time
as decision is rendered by the SUI
preme court in the similar Gallatin
county cases.
If the decision is against the Ialla-
tin commissioners, it is recommended
that proceedings then be Instituted

have been violated in Livingston,
