The address of welcome by Governor

"What a striking contrast were his words
from those of our past and present
governors on similar occasions, as pub
lished by the subsidized daily press of
Che stato.
President Loucks responded in re
marks brim full of patriot'sm and
thanked to the good people of Topeka
and Kansas for the royat reception

firmxra organization the world has
ever known.

Bro. Gale of Pennsylvania, being chair
man. The principles of the Alliance
feeing those of co-operation on all lines
for mutual benefit, some startling and
wonderful facts were learned by the
-oooimltu e on the lines of Mutual Life
insurance, fire and lightening by states
and counties, tornado and hall insur
ance, co-opera'lve stores and shipping
firms, those of the greatest success and
magnitude working under principles
very near akin to the celebrated Koch
dale system, ahd located in Kansas,
Nebraska, Pennsylvania and North
'Carolina, showing conclusively where
co-operation on tnese lines is followed
on correct business principles they have
at all times and places proven a grand
success, saviDg to the farmers an ! labor
ing classes allready millions of dollars.
Now brothers of the Alliance will you
wake up to your duties for yourself and
family, for the order and for humanity,
and get down to business as a citizen of
the country, or will you be content to
remain the slave of competition, ad jou
and your children go down in the night
of ignorance and slavery? for no slave

was simply super t). Speeches, essays

The president announced the name of
Mrs. Lease as America's greatest orator
Mrs. Lease was greeted ty clapping of
hands and cries of welcome that seemed
to shake the State House to its founda
tions. Well may she or any person be
proud of such a reception. The sub
sidized press is trying to make it appear
that Mrs. Lease is kilting herself, the
Alliance and the People's party. But
such receptions by her on people give
the lie to all they say. She is en
throned in the hearts of her own f eo
pie, and the best elements, regardless
of party, sustain and uphold Mrs Lease.
While the vast audience were cheering
a number of boys and girls brought from
a side room bouquets aud wreaths of the
most beautiful iljwers, placing them
upon the desk befere her, and amid the
cheers of the people and the musio from
the piano, Mrs, Lease in plain dress
witbout any attempt at vain show or
display, humbly bowed her acknowledg
ment of the heartfelt love and confid
ence of those who knew her best.
As an illustration further I might a
story unfold where a certain self styled
laOoring man's friend, appeared not many
days ago at Topeka. Sent there at the
instigation of corporation tools at Lin
coln and Om-'ha to bring reproach and
ruin to Mrs. Lease, and when the citi

people of Topeka and Kansas, and in
her speech of half an hour, closed with
the grandest appi al to all liberty lov
ing men and women to stand firm to our
principles as their guiding star to a
nobler and better civilization. The
meeting closed for the evening, but
everywhere were her opponents cha
grined and overwhelmed at her recep
titn.
The writer heard one well dressed g.
o. p. remark that he would have to stay
away from the Alliance meeting or in
spite of h 1 meaning the Republican
party he would get converted to the
Alliance principles.
Mre Lease won her case before the
supreme court in Kansas, that court be
ing two Republicans and one Populist.
The decision being in no sense partisan
Governor Lewelling, like all great and
go d peop'e, made a bad mistake, and
none know it better than he knows it
now. Mrs. Lease is upheld by tha
masses of the AlHanoe people and the
best elements of all classes, regardless
of party. Yet Mrs. Lease makes no
claim to perf- ctlon. None but Rpub

Peach Craning la Kebraaksu
The experience of tte lat-t fifteen
years has made a marked change in the
accepted methods for suucesf ally grow
log peaches in Nebraska, Formerly
the impression was current that pach
trees needed sheltered sutrty locations:
tbey were placed on bottom land, not
infrequently sheltered from the north
and west and sunny hill sides, with the
result that they suffered more from
growing too late in the season and the
starting of the tan In mid-winter or too
early in the spring than could have
posstbly hsppened from bleak exposure
to north wind or cold. It has also been
demonstrated that the peach by proper
selecion and handling can be accilmat
ed as far north as Muscatine Iowa and
will withstand more than 25 degrees
below zero under proper conditions and
circumstances. In the planting of bud
ded peaches, too large a proportion
were planted from varieties tbt were
found successful In the est and south
i s .a ...
issieaa oi selecting suca varieties as
are particularly hardy in the fruit bud
To Illustrate, the Early Carwford has
been freely planted because the fruit is
very satisfactory lo quality, not knowing
that the variety is comparetivtly tn
der In fruit bud. Varieties of peaches
no hardier in fruit bad than the Caw-
ford should not be planted InNebraxka
It should also be borne In mind
that our orcbardlsts who are constantly
experimenting and studying this sub
ject in all its bearings have ascertained
that quite a number of the varieties
will withstand from 22 to 25, and occas
ionally 30 degrees below zero without
lost of crop. Aleo that the peacb tree
in bloom wlths'and, more cold often
tlnu s than the apple. That the great
est danger to the peach crop is first, the
range of temperature in the winter bo
low as to dt-s roy the fruit bud, and
secon 1, going into winter wl h the
ground so dry as to suffer from lack of
moisture.
Our most successful orcbardlsts now
plant their commercial orchard "n high
ground and northerly slope without
windbreak from the north and west
Benefit is gained from a south wind
break. Woatever tends to kep the
trees dormant through the winter till
spring is fairly opened is beneficial
Should the trees under suany shelter
and warm exp"sures have a prem iture
flow of sap slightly expanding In fruit
buds, a comparatively slight degree of
subsequent cold will destroy the buds.
Experience has d -moastrated that in
the evolution of varieties from seed
lings which comes from jnd clous culti
vutlon, varieties are brought out much
hardier in fruit bud than the average
seedling. Among these are the follow
ing varieties named nearly In the order
of ripening : Alexander, Hales Erly,
Cooledgestavorlte, Hi i's Chilli, Smock
Wager, Heath Cling and Sal way.
The approved method for commercial
peach orcharding now is to select high
land; became the thersometer drops
lower In cold nights on low ltnd than
oi high land; trees ripen earlier on high
ground particularly where on northerly
slopes. It has been discovered thut the
ques'ion of moisture bere In Neb ak a n
orchard management is of the firt Im
portance. To gain his trees shou d be
piloted 18 feet apart each way and cul
tivtted from ihe first to the middle of
May to a-least the 15th of August or
later ab iut once in ten davs with sur
face cultivttlng tools like the dick
cultivator, keeping the surface at all
times lo 'se and mallow that It may re
tain moisture and that weds are not
allowed to grow in the fall to dissipate
the moisture needed for th proper
wintering of the trees. Again it has
been found that where the temperature
drops so low or tae conditions are so
unfavorable as to kill most of the weed
of tha trees that succeeding thore cul'l
vaUon will put new healthy wood ever
and about the damaged wood and the
tree very likely go forward to useful
work. At tie recent state meet leg of
the HertlculUral Society Mr Ruasell
of Wy mora showed sections of acb
wooa from tree ten to leurtoen years
oid, shewlig- that where the wood had
brn sertoaaly damaged three year In
succession, succeeding good cultivation
bad pet on such growth as to give an
Inch or two of live wood and that the
trees promised a gooi rop th comlag

In this time of cutting down wages.

I have carefully prepared tome tables

like to have every r ader f The Alli

of the work of the aaoc-lation by the

incidentally and letters were read
from D. II Anthony of Leavenworth

and finally Atlanta, Ga., was chosen
as the place for the next convention.

was read by Mrs, Ellen Uattclle Deit

review of the press work done in each
