Legal blttaka nt TIio Cltlzealnfflce, HIGHER AND HIGHER GOES THE . RECORD. Mourmelon, Franco, Jan. 8. Hu bert Latham yesterday established a record for height when ho sent his monoplane to an altitude of 3,300 feet, beating by moro than 1,000 feet tho previous record height, tho exact figures of which aro disputed. Louis Paulhnn Is credited with a height of 2,000 feet, over tho same course that Latham followed to-day. Latham used an officially controll ed barometer nnd there Is no ques tion of the height ha attained. Lathnm began his flight at 2:30 o'clock by circling over Mourmelon. At 3 o'clock he was 200 feet In tho air, when ho pointed his monoplane upward and in ten minutes had at tained the dizzy height of 3,300 feet. From this height he made a rapid descent, the drop of the monoplane resembling the downwnrd sweep of a giant bird. When Latham alighted ho was smoking n cigarette, as usual. He declared ho could easily havo gone several thousand feet higher, as the conditions wcro Ideal. Paulhnn, tho Frenchman, yester day at Los Angeles, ascended In his bl-plane to a distance estimated nt least one mile. MORSE IN JAIL; HIS COMPANIONS Atlanta, Ga. When Charles W. Morse, onco looked up to as the great "Ice King," but now known only as Convict No. 2814, went Into the big dining hall vof the Atlanta Penitentiary this morning in his Ill fitting suit of rough blue clothes, he found himself the associate of ne groes, Indians, Chinamen and white criminals of every condition. It was with these that the erstwhile New York financier breakfasted. His cup of black coffee must have been more bitter than gall, and his reflections must have been worse even than that bitter black coffee. He found placed before him jelly bread, cocoa, sugar and milk. He could not eat, and that was the first sign ho had permitted to escape him of the terrible strain he has been un der since he began in New York the journey to what is called his "life term." When Morse was received by War don William H. Moyer, he made a formal protest against his Incarcera tion, as he had been Instructed to do by his counsel. Tho Warden, in his reply giving tho prisoner his orders, said: "Mr. Morse, you have always been a gentleman in your behavior outside of this place. 1 nm sure that you will be so here." "You may be sure of that." was the quiet response, and then he was led away to bo bathed, vaccinated and measured for the Bertlllon records. Then he was photographed and put in a reception cell until such time as lie may bo given a cell with an other prisoner. Who this will be is not known, but the doubling up is necessary as the prison is over crowded. No. 2814 henceforth supplants his name. He has been put in tho first grade of prisoners, which en titles him to all the privileges that the best behaved may enjoy. As such he need not wear the stripes save when he is on tho outside of the building, the Warden having discarded this mark in favor of tho bluo uniform. Morse must abide by rules that govern the employment of every moment of his day. Speech Is de nied him, except at stated times, even at his meals. But If this final blow affected the Iron nerve he has shown throughout he did not let It appear. His face wore a set half smile as he passed to tho cell-house, leaving tho world and tho big part he played in it behind. He was told that good behavior would earn him a commutation of 1,800 days twenty-live days less than live years. It seemed to glvo him no cheer, for Morse Is convinc ed that if his legal fight go against him and he does not receive a par don his sentence Is his denth war rant. He Is permitted two visitors each month besides special calls of urg ent nature, so long as he is In the first grade. Ho may receive letters and books and mny write ono letter evory two weeks, but all of his com munications nre subject to the war den's scrutiny. He can purchase out of tho mon ey ho left tho warden, something liko 200, u black tic, and tooth paste and hair brush and looking glnss, but ho is not permitted to buy nny additions to tho menus Hero Is tho dally bill of faro: Breakfast Potatoes, bread, ter and coffee. Dinner Ronst beef, sweet toes, bread and wntor. Supper Pie, bread, buttor tea. but- potn- nnd A sample of the dally routine for convict No. 2814 Is: 0:30 n. m., rising gong; 7:15 a. in., roll call; 7:20 n. ni., sick report; 7:30 a. in., breakfast; 8 a. in., work; 1 1 : 4 D a. in., recall; 12:1G p, in., dinner; 12:45 p. m., work; 4:15 p. in., re call; 4:30 p. in,, supper; G p. m., musical hour; 7 to 9, quiet und reading, smoking permitted; 9 p. in., lights out, sleep, At meals different motions of tho hand lndlcato different wants. Tho hand upraised means water; ex tended to tho right means some thing else, and then to tho left It has another meaning. All prison ers must kcop their eyes straight to tho front whon visitors aro pres ent, or stand with their faces to tho wall should they bo on their foet. JUST TRY A-l'ENNY-A-AVORI AD. IN THE CITIZEN. :::u::mmtmuuummm:nm:tmmui: GRANGE. I i:mmmm:tmtm::u::m:n:mmmui: CUTTING 111(2 lilMRS FROM TREES. "How soon will It do to cut big limbs of npplo trees, somo limbs bolng ns much as eight to ton Inches In diameter? Wo want to havo the trees low enough to bo easily sprayed for tho control of tho San Jose scale and other Insect pests. Soma of tho trees arc nenrly 40 feet high. Do you think It safe to cut them, or would the cutting off of such Inrge limbs bo likely to kill the trees?" Tho above was contnlncd in a let ter recently received by Professor H. A. Surface, State Zoologist of Penn sylvania, Harrisburg, signed by two residents of Newtown, Bucks county, to which Professor Surface replied, as follows: "Replying to your letter nsklng how soon It will do to prune trees, I beg to say that this can be done at any time while they aro dormant. Paint the stubs with oil paint, made as thick as for painting n building. It Is safe to cut parts of the tops out of large trees. Cut back those that havo developed to a heighth of two or three stories, and force them to throw out new limbs farther down. However, I do not think It best to re move all of the living top of an apple tree at one time. I should certainly prefer to cut It oft at tho upper branches, rather than at tho lower, and thus bring the top down. It will In part lnvlgornte or renew the tree to prune It." CAUSE OF DEFECTIVE FRUIT. Commencing his letter with the statement: " I have an orchard of a few hundred fruit trees, of all kinds, but for the last few years our fruit has been extremely faulty, apparent ly all of It stung by insects and worm eaten," a Monroo county man wrote Prof, H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrisburg, for information, and also inquired about "oil emulsions." Professor Surface replied: "I have at hand your letter stating that you find your fruits defective, and asking what to do to prevent such troubles. 1 beg to say that the first thing to do Is to find out just what is the cause of such defects. You can send dam aged fruits, leaves and twigs to this office for examination. The cause of , each Imperfection will be given. Theu tho next step is to apply the, right remedy in the right way, with the right material, in the right pro portion, and at the right time. All these thing are necessnry for success. Not one can be overlooked. For ex ample, the insect, making the wormy fruit, of which you write, Is, doubt less, the codling moth. The preven tive is to spray witli an arsenical poison, such as Paris green or arsen ate of lead, using either one-third pound of the former, or two pounds of the latter, in ilfty gallons of water or Bordeaux mixture, applying it thoroughly as a spray blown with force from above the fruit so as to reacli into the blossom ends of the young fruits Just after the petals have fallen, and again In ten days or two weeks. "If you do not have any certain kind of pest present, or liable to ap pear soon, it is unnecessary to spray for It. For example, the l'me-sul-phur and oils, used when the trees arc dormant, are for San Jose scale and other scale Insects. If such are not present, there Is no need of going to tho expense and trouble of spray ing. However, you should be cer tain whether your trees havo San Joso scnlo. To bo sure of this you should send to this olflce some clip nines or twlcs. Get twlcs showing the ring that was last winter's terml-l nal resting bud, from which tlio ' 1909 growth stnrted. It Is here that he will be most likely to And the scale, if present. Specimens can be sent by mall. Your spraying opera tions should bo In accordance with what wo find. "You ask about the use of oil emulsions. I presume you mean tho commercial preparations. I do not recommend them, for tho fact that they do not always kill tho scalo without injury to the trees. Many orchards In this nnd other States havo been entirely destroyed by them. You can not afford the risk. The commercial oils may be all right for two years, but the next year cause thousands of dollars of damngo in tho samo orchard, as was experienced by ono of Pennsylvania's most proml nont and successful fruit growers. At Mont Alto, Franklin county, nn owner lost between live and ten thousand dollars worth of fruit in 1909 by using oil sprays, although In 1908 and tho year boforo, tho re sults with the samo materials on tho sumo trees had been apparently good." WHO GETS THE " EAT?" Tho American tanner In 1909 re ceived $100,000,000 for tho egg crop. The American consumer paid J5IO.000.000 for tho snmo eggs. Who got tho dlfforonco of $240,000, 000? The farmer raised tho hens, took caro of them, fed thorn, housed them, and paid about 50 cents apleco for tho caro of each ono. It cost him not less than $75,000,000 to keep tho hens. So, all togethor, his earnings wera reduced to $225,000,- 000. But somebody clso got $240,' 000,000 which Is $15,000,000 moro than tho farmer received. From tho tlmo tho eggs loft tho farmer to tho tlmo thoy reached tho consumer tho prlco on them was at most doubled. And tho consumer, of courso, paid. Somewhere thero la a leech In the egg market and the butter market and tho meat market and the grocery market, and all the other markets, that Is Bucking away nt tho Amerlcnn consumer's pocket- book. Until this leech Is found and behended, prices of living will be tremendously high and will grow higher Just so long as there romnlns anything in tho pockctbook to bo sucked out. It has not yet been shown Hint the leech Is not tho railroad, the express nnd the packing companies. In 1909 tho railroad companies In creased their Indebtedness by one billion and fifteen million dollars. Tho Interest that Is to be paid on this, of courBO, comes out of the pub lic's pocketbook. And the express companies during the yenr paid alvld ends that ranked among the highest on the whole list of Industrial insti tutions. And tho Packing Trust is waxing rich nnd rolling In millions to Armour, Swift, et nl.
