TIM FL Y FAR M TOPICS
 bB the County Agricultural Agent

Many thousands of dollars are put into the cull apple pile because the grower fails to thin his fruit. The larger the number of frst-grade ap- ples cf good size and quality the larg- CT will be the fruit growers profit. Thinning has become a practice fol- lowed regularly by many fruit grow CTS and they feel that it is as import ant as spraying, pruning and fertiliza- tion. Thinning also prevents the breaking of branches and is bene- ficial to the tree.
 Trees bearing a large number of apples lose vitality and in order for the trees tc bear regularly it is neces- sary that they be vigorous. Apples should be thinned as soon after the June drop as possible. Apples are at that time about one inch in diameter. Summer apples should be the first ones to be thinned. Apples should be thinned from 6 inches to inches apart although this may vary some with the variety of apple and the de- mand on the market Delicious seem to need more severe thinning than most other varieties and it might be Mitt 10 INfN tNtlM ID v UT NfH lNtUGe apart. Thinning would seem to be a waste of fruit but when we have bet ter size and quality we get better prices for those that we do have
 Apples may be thinned in two ways: either by holding the branch with one hand and grasping the fruit and giving it auiek. upper twist. or with shears Quite contrary Co the opinions of many growers who have not prac- ticed thinning the fruit the under taking is relatively inexpensive. With large acreage it may seem to be an endless task but in practically every ease the quality and size cf the fruit will more than pay for the labor of thinning, particularly is this true of overloaded trees.
 The cost of thinning and grading of a crop from an unthinned orchard is far greater because there are more apples of @ secCnd-grade size than in one that has been properly thinned. Experiments have shown that fruit grower has been able Co earn a dollar an hour or better for his time spent in thinning.

 Like any sailcr ashore Ringley wanted action. He had few glasses of cider and while trying to drive an automobile owned by Peter Mont vile he tackled too far to starboard and hit another craft. There was quite some damage Go the two mas chimes.
 The accident called for an investi- gation and the investigation diselos- cd that the sailor had been drink ing groe and he was therefore locked up in the city's "brig" across the river. It was also found that the sailor had no license to navigate the land craft.
 Bingley was fined Sl0O on the first count and S5 on the second count, with costs of S13.14. The fine was paid and he was allowed to return Go his deep sea craft.

PLATT AMENDMENT
HELD IN DANGER
Cuban Diplomat Says High
Sugar Duties May Kill
Intervention Law.

BY the Associated Press.
The possibility. of Cuban repeal of
the Plat amendment to the Cuban
constitution in case American tariff
schedules on sugar we're raised to the
point of Gripping that country's trade
with the United States is foreseen as
a possibility by Ambassador Ferrara of
Cuba. The Platt amendment authorizes
American Intervention in the island in
case that country's stability ever is
threatened.
Asked to comment on the hearings
now being held by the House ways and
means committee as to a possible in
crease in sugar tariff schedules, the
Cuban Ambassador said that it would
be an anachronism to cripple economic
relations between the United States
and Cuba while treaty is in ex-
istence which binds us so intimately
together politically.
Americans Invest $500, 100000
LAS far as Cuba is concerned" the
Ambassador declared, I'VE have always
fulfilled all our obligations under the
political treaty. We have always main
tanned a state of growing friendship
and good will toward the United
States. We have always followed all
of the United States international
attitudes with the greatest sympathy.
This, of course. we will continue to do,
because We cannot forget the ties that
bind us both in the political and the
moral field"
DR.. Ferrara said that in opposing in
creases in sugar tariffs the Cuban
government is really defending the
rights of American citizens who have
invested over $800000,0O0 in Cuban
sugar.
Cites Comparative Duty.
Cuba, which pays more to its
workers." he said, must sell its
products at price half Of that of
Philippine, Porto Rican and Hawaiian
sugar"
DR.. Ferrara emphasized that when
Cuba accepted the Platt amendment.
the promise of economic cooperation
given by Presidents Mckinley and
Roosevelt and by former Secretary of
State Elihu Root never permitted the
possibility to be envisioned that Cuba
would pay to the United States
$150,000000 annually in customs dues,
or IS per cent of their value, while the
United States only pays to Cuba
$24,000,000, or only Is per cent of the
value of its imports into the island.

SENATE GIVES AID |
TOCONDEMNAT|ON
Passes Bill to Improve Pro-
cedure for District to
Obtain Property.

The Senate this afternoon passed a
bill to improve the procedure by which
the District Commissioners condemn
land for schoolhouses and other local
purposes, but a similar bill to expedite
condemnation of land for the various
Federal improvements planned for the
National Capital had to be postponed
for consideration at later date.
The Senate was considering the cal
endar under the unanimous consent
rule, and when the Federal condemna-
ton bill was reached Senator Caraway,
consideration today. The purpose of
the Federal condemnation bill is to
eliminate delay in acquiring property
for governmental purposes under eX-
listing law, by enabling the Govern
ment to obtain immediate possession
when the condemnation proceeding
begins.
The bill provides that the Govern
ment would place an estimated value on
the land acquired and pay that amount
to the owners at the beginning of the
proceeding. The balance would be paid
with interest after the court had made
its award. This measure, which passed
the House at the last session, is regarded
by officials as important, in view of the
plans of the Federal Government for
new buildings and other improvements
in Washington.
The District of Columbia condemna-
ton bill, which the Senate agreed to
and sent to the House today would
abolish the commission form of con-
demnation case and substitute a hear
ing before a jury, where delays would
be eliminated by having a judge pres
ent to pass promptly upon the legal
questions raised At the present time
the condemnation commission is re-
quired to postpone it's deliberations
while legal issues are referred to the
court for opinion. This local con-
demnation bill does not contain the
provision for obtaining immediate pos
session when the proceedings begin. as
is contemplated by the proposed Fed
eral measure. The bill which the
Senate passed is an entirely separate
proposition from the Federal condem-
nation bill.
