SEES GREAT FUTURE FOR :
PEACH ORCHARDS
State Commissioner Says now is the
Time to put out More
Peach Trees.

M. L. Dean, chief of the division of
horticulture, department of agricul-
ture, has recently returned from a
one month trip thru the east. Wash
ington, Mr.. Dean says, is the saliva
ton of the peach industry in the
United States and the country will
look to the Northwest for great
part of its peach supply in coming
years. 1t is his belief that now is the
time to consider setting out addition
al peach acreage. =
Concerning the effect of the ex-
treme cold of December Mr.. Dean eau
tions the peach grower to be careful
about their pruning. Do not cut any
bearing wood out. Stimulate the
trees by cultivation and give them
every chance to recuperate. Then in
the spring if they do blossom and set
fruit, carefully thin by pruning and
picking off fruit, SO they will not over
bear.

BOXING ALLIANCE
 WITH ENGLAND SURE
President Riddle Receives ASSur-
 apCeS From British Board

New York, Feb. 13.-The fact that England and America are in accord in referehCe to the international con- trol of boxing was made apparent last night when q. Cablegram of 500 words from the British board of boxing con- tr0l was received at the hea dQuarters of the Army. Navy and Civilian board of boxing control. The cableSram, which was addressed to Major An thony J. DreNel Riddle. president of the board, was signed by Capt. John R. Be1l-Hart, honor able secretary of the British board, and contained re- sume of the proceedings of the Paris conference.
 The communication assured Major Riddle that the rules and regulations adopted at the Paris meeting had been framed with the object of con- forming to the views of the American board of control, and that everything possible had been done to assure the entrance of tic United States into the international union.
 The cablegram made it clear that England depends on an alliance with America for the proper control of boxing and is ea6er to cooperate with the Army, Navy and Civilian board in a determined attempt to place the sport on a world basis of solidity and public confidence.

NEW HAMPSHIRE MAY
 LOSE DISTINCTION
Legislature Governing Body May
 Be Decreased

Concord, N. H., Feb. 13-New Hampshire is in danger of losing it's claim to the distinction of having one of the largest representative bodies in the United States In the hall of tho house of representative in the capitol are 421 seats, and at session of the legislature the house has 4Oc mem- bers.
 But the constitutional convention which recently adjourned to submit to the people constitutional amend ment whereby the mem borship of tho house would be materially reduced. Under this plan representation of towns and city wards would be based upon the number of votes cast at the election preceding that at which tho representatives were chosen.
 The framers of the present consti- tuition of the Granite state endeavored to give the people of every mountain and hill town a voice in legislative proceedings. They decreed that at every session of the general court" or legislature, there should be one representative from each town or ward of 600 or IT ore population. with one additional representative for ev- cry addition of 1,200 inhabitants, and that towns with a population less than 500 should send representative "such proportionate part of the time as the number of it's inhabitants shall bear to 600.' Some of the towns ''propOrtionately' represented have less than 300 inhabitants and a few have less than 200.
 The city of Manchester, the largest in the state, with a population of about S0,00O. has 5S representatives.
 The state house, which was built in 1Sl6 tO 1S14 RnI1rpnH in 66 and again in 1909. The contstitu- tional convention delegates evidently saw the need of another cnlarGemet looming up in the near future.
