There Is a rumor that the democrats awe going to got together. Isn't there rtroublo enough In the world as It Is ? Whore is Walter Wcllman ? This IPenry-Cook discussion seems to have Iknocked the bottom out of his bal loon. There Is always room at the top , and yet Cook and Peary seem to have tfound It rather crowded when they tgot there. A deficit of $20,000,000 Is facing the ( poBtoiltcc department , in splto of the economics instituted by Postmaster ( General Hitchcock. Will some one head off Hurry Whit ney ? He seems to Imvo got the habit of talking too much , which afflicts north polo discoverers. The Japanese say they do not want tto fight us , they want to trade with eis.

With Bryan on the war path for Joe IBalloy of Toxu and Bailey out , with a crlub that isn't stuffed for William Jennings , the Kilkenny brand of liar- nvony seems to thrive in the demo cratic party. Norfolk ought to bo bettor lighted tit niiiht. There should be more street Bamps and they should burn every might , moon or no moon. A move in ( this direction would meet'with popu- Bnr approval.

And It will bo business policy to elect him. The war of 1812 was fought betweer Croat Britain and the young republic tat the United States. There arc fre < iuent predictions that the war of 1911 will be fought between England ant ( Germany. If these forebodings shouh jprove true there are going to bo plen tty of newspaper sensations just aheai of us. Down In Lawrence , Kan. , they hav < a new street car service which hai lately been Inaugurated. The firs' ' day , when rides were free , everybody gtxlo and the cars registered 4,00' ' passengers. Since then the peoph have stuck pretty closely to the side walk. Their motto Is "retrenchmen and reform. " Sunlight and , Invigorating ntmos plioro In this northern climate are th < best possible health agencies , If tnkei In sufficient quantltloo. A good many of the Ills of civilization arc duo to civilization's pampering and debilitat ing luxuries , The euro for them Is to get back to nature and live In na ture's fresh air. The more plan evolved by the Com mercial club of Chicago for making the windy city a more beautiful , a more convenient , a more livable and desirable city has of "Itself cost the club seventy-five thousand dollars. Its execution will be more expensive than Baron Haussmann's remodeling of Paris , which cost two hundred and fifty millions. The prospects are fine that In a year or two air ships will run excur sion trips to the north and south poles at reasonable rates and with experi enced guides to describe the sights on the way. Already the Ice crop for the hotels there has been gathered and the game they will serve will not Imvo to run the gauntlet of a game law or the game warden. The percentage of population at work upon the farm has decreased from 47.3G In 1870 to 35.7 in 1908 , and It Is predicted by those who are in close touch with conditions that the census next year will show that only 30 to 33 per cent of our people are to day living on the farm. Wo are evi dently , in our rush for the cities , lookIng - Ing through the wrong end of the tel escope , and It Is time that wo face about aiul get back to old Mother Earth the basis of all real wealth. Many and sincere have been the tributes paid to the life work and character of the much lamented Gov ernor Johnson of Minnesota. What most appeals to his fellowmen is that ho achieved and maintained a position unexampled among his contemporaries by simply being his own best self at all times. Ho seemed Incapable of entertaining personal hatred. At all times a gentleman , he was never weak. Ills life was so simple and plain that every school boy can see Its point and profit by it. New York City will pay $50,000,000 next year as Internal charges on Its public debt. This one great metrop olis is carrying twice as large a debt as that supported by the Turkish em pire. If Turkey were as highly devel oped as the United States , in other words as highly civilized , commercial ly , as Now York , it would bo expected to indicate that fact by an enormous public debt. It is a peculiarity of our modern life that the degree of our civ ilized effort Is based on the size of our national debts. Never have the property owners along Norfolk avenue been more unit ed with regard to the need of paving , than now. And , now that the sewer work for that street is being attended to , It looks as if paving will soon be : taken up and assured for early spring. Once the paving is started , it will spread just as the sewer has done. It will make a city of Norfolk instead of a village ; it will make passable roads in muddy weather ; it will revolution ize the impression created upon strangers ; and it will increase prop erty values all along the line. It is just as true as ever that the way at least one way to a man's heart lies through his stomach , nor is , there anything necessarily discreditable - ] able , either to the man or to the woman who cooks the palatable food ! designed to win his regard. Every thing depends on the proper nourish ment of the body. Food is the ulti mate basis of life and one's energy , efficiency , contentment and all desir able things depend on properly cooked food. No chronic dyspeptic can be either successful or happy. All suc cess to the practical cooking schools and to what Is still better , the old homo kitchen. President Taft Is very frank in his public utterances. lie takes the people ple into ills entire confidence and tells them his plans. He is very anxious for results and he knows that good re sults can only be obtained by harmo nious action. He believes that a unit ed party on the tariff question , moving step by step toward the desired goal of a lower tariff , will gain that goal much sooner than a disorganized scramble with disunion and a split party as the effect. In tills the presi dent is undoubtedly correct , and if the action taken can ho accepted as mere ly a step toward the end instead of the end Itself , It places the matter in a more hopeful light. Talking about the amalgamation ol the races , it is wonderful what "a mix Ing bowl" the city of Chicago Is. Looli at these figures : There are forty dif ferent nationalities in that city and the most numerous are as follows : Americans ( persons whoso parents arc not foreign born ) . 099.551 ; Germans , 503,738 ; Irish , 240.5GO ; Poles , 173.109 ; Swedes , 143.307 ; Russians. 123,238 ; Bohemians , 116,549. The figures show that the foreign born population Is about three times as many as the na tlvo Americans. Nevertheless , it Is the American face and the American enterprise that dominates and controls the business life and the civic life of the great city. Burr Taft has rendered particularly valuable service as a county commis sioner. Ho Is a business man and gives strict business judgment to coun ty affairs. Ho believes In getting a dollar's worth for every dollar of money spent , ho believes In holding down expenses and yet In making im provements that are essential and in making them permanent. It was Burr Taft who solved the problem of Cor poration Gulch In Norfolk , a problem that remained unsolved for twenty years. For the first time In years Madison county Is out of debt , and n great deal of credit for this fact Is duo to Mr. Taft as a commissioner. If ever an ofllclal deserved re-election , Unit man is Burr Taft. The man who struck Billy Patterson has been discovered. T. M. Lake of Chicago has settled that question for all time. According to Mr. Lake , Billy Patterson was a drunken bully of Richmond , Va. One day when ho had Just whisky enough to make him anx ious for a fight , ho planted himself in the middle of the sidewalk and was making things unpleasant for passers- by. He was particularly insulting tea a crowd of medical students , one of whom did not choose to endure his Insolence and with one well directed blow felled the bully to the ground. Fearing that ho was killed , the stu dents scattered and the police were soon searching the streets for the man "who struck Billy Patterson. " He was not found and as Patterson soon recovered , no one but the group of students knew that Albln Payne , af terward a well known physician , was that long sought man "who struck Bil ly Patterson. " Some very Interesting facts are brought out by the census bureau in n special report on the census of 1700 , the first taken In this country. An other point of Interest relates to na tionality. As to that , little variety Is shown , for the great stream of immi gration was not to come for many years. Only seven , nationalities are specifically named , and "all others" constituted but one-tenth of 1 per cent of the total. Nationalities are judged by the names , since the takers of the census neglected to go into this fea ture , which Is never overlooked now. New England was almost as English as old England ; unlay New England is very largely foreign , and the purest strain of colonial ancestry is to be found in the southern states , where immigration has made little change. In the east and north and west , how ever , the change has been remarkable indeed , though the census has no fig ures on which to base comparisons. This original strain in the thirteen states which began the union has been scattered ; long since. Interstate mi gration carried away much of it and spread it over the land. Foreign im migration lias practically inundated what is left. In some of the communi ties which in 1700 were almost purely British more than half Is now com posed of pconle born in southern Eu rope or those descended from them. DEPOSIT GUARANTY. Chicago Tribune : There Is a wide gap between the deposit guaranty fund which Oklahoma has accumulated and the amount due the depositors of the state bank whose doors have just been closed. One is $300,000 and the other is $3,000,000. If the depositors were to demand their money immediately the banks which are working under the guaranty law would have to stand a special assessment of $1,000,000. That would bear hard upon many of them. So there is already a protest against the levying of the assessment. The bank failed because it had loan ed far too great a proportion of Its funds and some of Its loans were on Insufficient security. The Oklahoma guaranty deposit scheme has encour aged reckless banking and the orga nization of an unnecessary number of banks , bidding against each other for business. Now one reckless bank has gone to the wall. The advocates of the deposit guaranty plan should hope that more may not follow. If they wore to do so the state would be hard put to It to redeem Its pledge to do- pqsitors. JUDGE BARNES ON EXPRESS RATES. No greater tribute was ever paid tc any supreme Judge than that paid tc Judge .1. B. Barnes of Norfolk , at present a member of the Nebraska su preme court and republican candidate for re-election , by Attorney General Thompson one day this week. The attorney general , speaking of the do clslon handed down by Judge Barnes sustaining the Sibley act , which re duced express rates in Nebraska 2E per cent , declares that it Is the mosl important decision in twenty-five years , and that Judge Barnes has done more to curb the corporations than any other mnn. Following Is a report from the Lin coin Evening News , telling of the words spoken by the attorney general : Attorney General Thompson be llevos the decision of thn supreme court of Nebraska in the express rate cases establishes the principle that the state through its attorney p neral may by Injunction enforce obedience to valid statutes by corporations thai have heretofore resorted to Injunction to prevent regulatory statutes from going Into effect. Ho considers the opinion as the m'ont important handed by the supreme court In the past H / ty-flvo years. ' "The decision IB satisfactory In ev ery particular , " said Attorney General Thompson. "I have road It over care fully and regard the opinions of the court In these cases , the one formerly \yrlttcn by Judge I/otton and the final one written by Judge Barnes , as the most Important , as affectIni ; the general - oral welfare of the people of thn state , tltat have been handed down by the supreme court in the last twenty-five years. Th y establish tins principle ) thiit the state , through Its attorney general , may , by Injunction , enforce obedience to and compliance wllh val id statutes by application to the su preme court , thereby checkmating powerful corporations with which in dividuals could not afford to litigate and that have hitherto resorted to in junction against those charged with the duty of enforcing the law , thereby preventing rate-making and regulatory statutes from going Into ( jftecH. , "Judge Barnes Is entitled to great credit for the work shown to hnvo been devoted to these opinions. It will bo remembered that during tbq long hot summer months Judge Uarnos did not take his well earned vacation , but was to bo seen dally in his office , and the opinions just rendered indicate what he was doing. To go through the records on which the attorneys and accountants had worked two years , containing thousands of pages of evidence , consisting of numerous tabulations of intricate figures , and the briefs of counsel , which alone cov ered approximately 700 pages , to se cure a proper understanding of the facts and questions of law Involved and to apply correct principles were anything but an easy undertaking , es pecially when It is remembered that these suits wore pioneers In their class in the courts of justice. The opinions measure up to the standard of the great jurists , and I venture to predict that the language of Jur'go Barnes will be extensively quoted In future litigation Involving similar questions. "Much credit is also due the Ne braska state railway commission , by reason of Its order requiring the express - press companies to make monthly re ports of their business in Nebraska. It secured the data by which the fctate ' 'was able to show , by actual demon- 1 stration , that the rates fixed by the I statute wore remrl eratlve It is doubtful if this could have boon shown , but for the faithful work of the rail way commission. " OUR SOUTHERN NEIGHBORS. The United States is a big country. I So big and so new that it has been , and still is very largely engrossed in I its own affairs. The development of its vast resources and their explolta- tion is sure to command the utmost of l ' its energies , in large measure , for many years to come. But It should not be asleep to the ' , trade possibilities which He about It and which , if taken advantage of , mean ' not alone great accretions of wealth and power , but friendly relations which will add greatly to our security as one of the world's great powers. [ Because wo are so apt to underrate other nations , it will pay us to take a peep into South America and see what is going on there. Briefly consider Argentina , Uruguay and Paraguay at this time. It is the region of the river Platte , one tributary of which the Parana is larger than the Missis sippi. These three republics comprise I an area of 1,306.000 square miles. The j climate is more favorable on the whole than that of this country. Contem plate the magnitude of these si.stir re publics for a moment ! Argentina alone is larger than the combined areas of all the states east of the Mississippi , with Minnesota , Iowa and Missouri thrown In for good measure. Paraguay is the size of California and Uruguay larger than all New England. The larger part of the vast area is a splendid agricultural region. Argen tina's immense prairies are already the scene of great herds , big ranches and burbling granaries , and all of these in their Infancy. The past quar ter of a century has seen a wonderful growth , but it Is only a foretaste and n beginning of what the future will disclose. Twenty-four years ago the Hour used in Argentina was imported. Last year that country exported nearly § 90,000,000 worth of wheat , while Its total of agricultural exports amounted to $161,000,000. Its annual foreign commerce aggregates six hundred mill- Ions. It raises 26,000,000 cattle , 77- 000,000 sheep , 6,000,000 horses and 2- 500,000 goats. Paraguay is very fer tile and the homo of tobacco , fruit and cotton. Its agricultural lands are as yet scarcely touched , while Uruguay is compared by John Barrett , who Is very familiar with all the South Amer ican countries , witli Iowa. This region , now has a population of less than ten ' million , and. is easily capable of sus taining 150 millions of people , j Fancy fails to have sustained flights I sufllciont to paint the possibilities of such a future. People of all nations are welcome , and England and Ger many are making the most of their chance and securing an immense trade , i Here is a golden opportunity for , American business men to secure a harvest. Young men with capital and pluck and a knowledge of the Spanish 1 language can secure a harvest and | help bind those countries to us in the bonds of commerce and friendship. At present it is said that more pas sengers sail every week from Buenos ' , Ayres to Europe than sail In a year j from New York. It ought not so to bo. ( The day of great possibilities for , young men in America has not passed. On every hand there are chances beck oning men to come and seize them. ' Those to bo found In our southern [ neighbors are by no means the least , and from every standpoint are worthy qf consideration and Investigation. AROUND TOWN.

Author of "Homo Course In Modern Agriculture" Copyright. 1909. by American Preii AnoeUIIon a few years after the young FOR is set out it will do better if It In cultivated. Dur ing these first few years , be fore the trees come Into bearing , it is neither neccHsary nor desirable to let the land lie Idle. Some cultivated crop can bo grown between the rows of trees , thus utilizing the land and giv ing the orchard the needed cultivation. Corn is not a very good crop for this purpose , since It grows too rank , shad ing the young trees and depriving them of their share of the moisture supply. Potatoes are one of the best crops that can be grown in a young orchard. Squashes and cabbages also lit In well. It Is often convenient to have the veg etable garden in the orchard during the lir.st few years. Small fruit can ' also be profitably grown as a filler crop. Where bush fruits are used , however , they must be cut out ns soon , ns the orchard comes Into hearing. ' Whatever crop l grown it should not Fid. XXXI PLUMS IIAN'OIXO THICK. coniu within throe or four feet of the young trees , as they need plenty of sunlight and moisture. The filler crop should receive fre quent and thorough cultivation. As soon as tlio land can be worked In the spring it should be plowed , unless this has been done the fall before. After plowing the disk or spring tooth har row very effectively breaks up the | clods and lines the surface. A final harrowing will complete the process of getting the soil in shape. Cultivation. There are two principal objects in cultivating ( lie orchard. In the first place , cultivation , as explained in ar ticle No. 2 , liberates plant food and so enables the plant to make a faster growth. It Is a wasteful practice to apply fertilizers to the orchard until jou have made the fertility that is al ready there available by cultivation. Tlio second reason for tillage is to conserve moisture and promote deep rooting. The upper layer of a cultivat ed soil is dry , and In consequence the roots will turn downward to seek a layer in which there is more moisture At the same time the upward rise of ! water by capillarity is chocked Just at ! the dry layer , &o that little is lost by evaporation. It is very Important to make the soil a vast storehouse of moisture for orchard trees , since they must have large quantities if tlioy are to produce profitably. A full grown apple tree gives off as much as U50 gallons lens of water a day through its loaves during the summer months. Cover Crops , As the trees come into bearing the growth of a cultivated crop between the rows should be discontinued. Some cultivation , however , will still be nec essary If the best results are to be so- j cured. One of the best moans to give this Is by plowing and preparing the soil In the spring and then sowing clover or some legume as a catch crop. This will supply the soli with nitrogen and humus and keep it In good phys ical condition. Calves , sheep or hoes may be turned Into the orchard in the fall to eat the clover , or It may be plowed under the next spring. The trees will bo so largo by tills time that it will be impossible to cul tivate close to thorn , nor is this neces sary , since the feeding roots are far ther out in the spaces between the rows. The space close around the trees may bo seeded to blue grass or Borne other perennial. As the orchard gets older It may be left in clover for two or three years at n time. An occasional plowing and resccdlng will be necessary to renew Ilie clover and to prevent tlio orchard from becoming sod bound. If used as a hog pasture the hogs will keep the soil loosened up sufficiently , at the same time adding considerable fertil ity. In such a case all the treatment that is necessary Is an occasional re- seeding. If well fed the hogs will done no dtiumiK to the apple trees. On tin- other hand , they wJll do a crcat deal of good by eating wormy fruit and thus destroying the worms. Where it Is not convenient to allow hogs or sheep } ; the orchard an occa sional load of \ \ ell rotted stable ma nure will bu beneficial. Do nut pile this around the trees , tint ncattcr it evenly over ( ho ground. Wood ashen nro a good substitute for manure , but can Holdout bo obtained In BUlllclcnt amounts to be used to advantage. If the orchard Is properly attended to from the start little pruning will be necessary. It Is much hotter to pinch off a twig occasionally than to cut oiT a branch as big as your arm a few yen M inter. It takes but a llttlo 11 un to go over the orchard In the spring and clip off such twigs as do not socm to bo needed. The object should bo to produce an even , spreading , some what open head. If It ever does become necessary to remove large brunches they should bo cut close to the trunk and the wounds painted with white lead. It IH hotter to do this severe pruning In the winter before - fore the sap begins to run. Spraying For Insects. One of the most effective means of securing large crops of fruit IH spray ing. Fruit trees of all kinds are sub ject to many Injurious Insects and dis eases , which if left to themselves will materially lesson the yields. There are two kinds of Insects biting and suck ing. Tlie former can be combated by means of poisons sprayed upon the leaves. The sucking Insects , of which plant lice are the most common exam ples , cannot be killed In this way , since they drill Into the plant and suck the juices. The most effective remedy for them is some insecticide which will kill by contact , like kerosene emulsion. This Is made by dissolving half a pound of soap In a gallon of boiling water , adding two gallons of kerosene and churning the mixture violently un til the oil is thoroughly mixed with the soapsuds. This Is diluted with nine times as much water before using. It may bo applied with a spray pump whenever the lice are trouble- Home and Is a very effective remedy. The biting insects are by far the most troublesome In the orchard. Of these the codling moth probably does' the most damage. It is the larvae hatched from the eggs of the codling moth that cause wormy apples. The tent caterpillar and canker worm at tack the leaves , sometimes stripping the tree bare. There is no better rem edy for these insects than parls green dissolved In water at tlio rate of one pound to 100 gallons. Throe pounds ol freshly slaked lime should bo added to prevent Injury to the foliage. Paris green can also be used for the plum curcullo and for the other Insects which attack the plum and cherry. The foil- ago of those trees Is more tender than that of the apple , however , and for that reason some less severe Insec ticide , such ns nrsenate of loud dis solved at the rate of three pounds to fifty gallons of water. Is bettor. Spraying For Fungous Diseases. The most troublesome fungous dis eases are apple scab , plum , pear and cherry leaf spot and peach leaf curl. The most clllcioiit fungicide is bor deaux mixture. Tills is made by dis solving four pounds of copper sulphate1 and four pounds of lime in llfty gal ions of water. The object of a fungi clde Is not to cure diseases , but to prevent - vent them. Those fungous diseased spread by moans of spores , which arc carried from loaf to leaf by the wind. When they alight on n lonf , especially if the surface is a little moist , they grow and produce another cciiicr of disease. If the leaf is covered with a thin coating of the copper .sulphate mixture tiie spores are killed before they start to grow. Since fungicides are preventives rather than cures It Is Important that they bo applied early. In order to save time parls green maybe bo added to the bordeaux mixture at the rate of four ounces to fifty gallon or nrsenate of lead at the rate of twc 'pounds to fifty gallons and one spray ing made effective for both insects and diseases. If you have many fruit trees It will pay to send to the experiment station for n spraying calendar , which will /C@fe * I'lll. \ -UAUVI.STIKQ Al'1'I.i : 01(01' ( . give full directions concerning time and manner of spraying. Kor apples the first spraying should be given about tlie time the first leaves burst the buds , the second Just before the blossoms open and the third just be fore they fall. If necessary , a fourth spraying may be given from ten to twenty days after the third. In late July or early August another spraying should be given for the second brood of the codling moth. The two most Important sprayings are Just before the blossoms open and Just after tfiey fall. Boxes are better than barrels for marketing high class fruit , ns the fruit can be presented more attractively In this way. There Is an advantage in a small package , too , as people will often buy a box of apples when they would nnver think of buvlntr a barrel. Naturally.
