neath the bark. They should be remov-
ed by hand, using a knife blade,and cut-
ting the bark lengthwise, but not
crosswise. After they are removed
they can be mounded to a height of
three or four inches, so that water and
ice will not settle in the trenches
around the crowns. This also gives
protection from mice, and is the fin-
ishing touch of the fall orchard work.
The next step is the pruning and
winter spraying, which can be under-
taken at any time after most of the
leaves are off and continued during
the winter whenever the weather is
favorable.
‘“The person who told you that dig-
ging araund vhe trees in the fall
would cause them to freeze did not
bear in mind the refilling of the
trenches with earth. It would no
doubt be injurious to peach trees to
have their roots exposed during the
winter time, as I have known some
orchards to be killed by the freezing
of the roots. Here is one of the places
where the benefits of a cover crop are
to be seen. There is so much in or-
charding that it can not all be given
in one letter. We shall be pleased to
answer further inquiries along this or
other lines.”’

WASHINGTON LETTER.
special .o The C mmercial.
John Purroy Mitchel of New York
will say that the Progressives solely
were responsible for his nomination
by the fusion committee. For two
years McAneny, a Democrat, had
labored for the fusion nomination.
The standpgp Republican organina-
tion. solidified its forces behind Dis-
trict Attorney Whitman, who later,
running for re-election, received the
endorsement of Tammany. At the
psychological moment the Proeress-
ives sprang the name of Mitchel and
he was nominated by the fusion com-
mittee.
tic support of the Progressives which
made Mitchel’s election possible.
The New York Mail, a Progressive
newspaper, published the Sulzer reve-
lations showing the attempts of
‘‘Boss’’” Murphy to compel a man
elected to the governorship to turn
the state over to the grafters.
Nor was the mayoralty the only
victory adhieved by the Progressives
in New York state. 23 Progressives
were elected as members of the gen-
eral assembly, and 20 candidates,
Republicans” and Democrats, who
| were swept into office: enjoyed Pro-
gressive endersement. This fusion
was necessary in order to defeat
either Murphy’s men or Barnes’ men
and to wrest control of the legisla~
ture from this infamous alliance.

Fall Removal of Peach Borers.
A Pennsylvania fruit grower wrote
~f® State Zoologist H. A. Surface, Har-
mwsburg, and asked, ‘‘Is it advisable to
take the borers out of peach trees at
© #¥is time of year? I have a two year
- «#l orchard twelve hundred trees. I
3pok the worms out of five hundred,
- Wen I was told that to dig around
&em in the fall would cause them to
. freeze. Please advise me.’?
Prof. Surface replied as follows:
“It is best ta take borers out of
meach trees at this time of year. 1
make a regular practice of going over
my orchard in the fall of the year, re-
waving the gum from around the trees,
aad rémoving by hand any borers that
are beneath the bark. You will find
« $hat a large percentage of the borers
im the fall of the year are only be-
meath the mass of gum, feeding at the
smrface of bark, and have not yet
- gone beneath, and are thus removed
fy the removal of the gum. As I
warked with my men in the orchards
ame Saturday recently in order to
watch this carfully,I decided that nine-
gy wer cont. of the borers were thus
memoved. What is more these little
Flows that vary from one-fourth to
ame-half inch in length at this time of
pear will live during the winter and
<mgamence to feed early in the spring
mae Dy midsummer they may kill the
1#mees they infest, especially the small
virees.
“I used a V-shaped hoe, with as
smal? blade as I can find, or cut down
= Barger hoe,so the little trench around
#%e tree will not widen. I then wash
#e base of the tree with boiled lime-
smifar solution, or spray it with this |
material, and leave it open for a ‘few |
days to see if any borers remain. If]

3 ‘where they are concealed be-
lay between the progressives on the
one hand and the two old parties on
on the other. Staid, conservative
Massachusetts, assumed to be the
very hearthstone of standpatism, is
slowly but surely taking its place in
the Progressive column.
Think of it! The Progressive candi-
date for governor actually polled
more votes in 1913 than he polled in
the rresidential campaign of 1912.
Think of it! Both the old Demoecra-
tic and Republican parties polled less
votes in 1913 than they did in 1912.
Here are the figures to prove it.
In 1912 the Progressive candidate
polled 122,602; in 1913, 126,687; a gain
of 4,065. In 1912 the Republican can-
didate polled 143, 597; in 1913, 116,314;
a loss of 27,283. In 1912 the Demo-
cratic candidate polled 193,184; in
1913, 180,368; a loss of 12,816.
In Massachusetts, as in New York,
the Progressives will hold the balance
of power in the assembly, and should
an accident occur in the senatorial
representation it will be the Pro-
gressives who will be able to name
the man that shall represent the Old
Bay State in the United States
Senate.
While Everett Colby, the Progress-
ive candidate for governor, received
only 45,000 votes in New Jersey, the
fact must not be lost sight of that the
new party ran counter in that state
to the heaviest kind of odds. .Colby’s
vote would have been largely swollen
had not many Progressives feared
that ‘Stokes, the Republican candi-
date, might wia. Stokes sought to
confuse the issue by declaring that he
had always been for Roosevelt and
that he was really a ‘‘progressive’’
Republican. Both the Democrats
and Republicans in New Jersey had a
large campaign fund, that of the Re-
publican totaling a quarter of a mil-
lion dollars, as opposed to a paltry
fifteen thousand dollars at the dis-
posal of the Colby committee.
The Progressives sought to defeat
Stokes by polling about 40,000 votes.
They succeeded.
