ble. In a recent Fuess nn article np
poored concerning tho ravages of
the punch yellows, ami tho predic
tion thnt In flvo years tho poach in
dustry in Sussex county would
practically disappear. To this stato
mont E. O. Fowler, editor of the
Now York Fanner, takes exception
in ft letter to tho Union under date
of Sept. 22, which is in part as fol
lows :
To the Emtoh op the Union :
The article in your issue of yester
day on Sussex county peaches, copied
from nn exchange, is calculated to
mislead and breed on alarm among
our people for which-there is no
real foundation. It iR not, in the
light of modern horticultural science,
to bo bo much dreaded as the writer
infers and there need foe no appre
hension that tho poach business will
disappear from Sussex county.
The disonso is contagion all ad
mit that, but it will rarely attack a
healthy tree in a soil properly ferti
lized. It ie with plant life as with
animal life in this matter. We have
all seen illustrations in tho work
ings of that dreaded disonse, tuber
culosis or consumption, which is now
known to be contagious. Two per
sons, one in good, sound health, tho
other in a rovorso condition, are ex
posed to tho germs of tho disoase.
They ore powerless to linrm tho
healthy man but the other succumbs
to its powor. Just so with peach
trees. If properly nourished, the
porcontoge of loss from yellows will
never bo largo, whilo troos which,
from lack of somo of tho elomonts of
fertility, notably potash, and from
dobilitntion, causod by being al
lowod to ovorboar, furnish a con
genial field for tho disease germ and
soon succumb.
In tho rest of the lottor he orguos
that growers should thin out tho
fruit and that by so doing there will
bo less draft on the fertility of tho
soil and the tree would not bo over
taxed because it is the production of
the stone in tho pooch which makos
the draft. Ho also snys seedlings
do not vary in any way in their
ability to resist disease from budded
varieties.
From tho opinion of such nn able
and oxporioncod gentleman we 010
loth to dissont, but our article was
largely basod on the judgment of n
practical growor in that county and
one whose oxporionco and observa
tion oxtonds over a longor period of
time than either Editor Fowler or
the writer can boast.
There is a divorsity of opinion on
the question and whilo wo did not
wish to create unnoocossary alarm
or to raise a scare there saems to bo
good authority for our general re.
marks, and at least somo opinions of
mon ot established roputatations
who do not agree with Mr. Fowler.
Dr. Erwin F. Smith in oomplian: 9

Secretary of tho United States De.

though the excessive stimulation favored
the development of the dlseaso. One con
clusion, at least, cnu be drawn with cer
tainty, viz: The addition to the soil of
lurgo quantltlus of the bust fertilizers does
not hinder the progress of tho disease or
sae the orchards from compljta destruc

strong that this disease is not due to im

D. Z. Shook in his report to the
Department of Agriculture of Poiin
sylvania in 18U6 says : The giuate&t
enemy that the jwach growers have
to contend with is peach yellows
and as this disease of the poach trees
is incurublo and never surrenders
until en tiro orchards are devastated,
th.i wUa grower usually rusorts to
hitroie truutmout by cutting down
or uprooting tho affected tree and
utroyiug it effectually by fire.
Uoivra and other petW can be kept
under control, but where prematura
ripening of fruit occurs.it is usually
a sure evidence that the tree is sub
ject to the yellows and that its eradi
cation is of prime importance. Tho
oauso or origin of " yellows " re
mtlns a mystery.
H m. J. F. Ailmau in tho samore-pn-tsays:
"The only known rem
edy, if rouudy it citi bo callel for
tho yollows is to t ike the tree out
and burn it."
From the above it might appear
that tho statement made by the edi
tor of tho Farmer " that tbo disease
is due to lack of some of tho elements
of fertility and is easily cured," is
doubted by Sfww for more eminent
authorities than the editor of the

Catarrh and Malaria.
People who are or have boon af
focted by catarrh are most subject
to chronic malaria. The explana
tion is this : Malaria is a germ" dis
oase. Gorms find their way into
tho blood through tho mucous mem
branes. If the mucous membranes
are healthy the germs can not enter
tho blood. This is why some peo
plo do not got malaria. But if tho
membranes ore affected by catarrh,

Po-ru-na is the remedy. It not

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
The F.iperlmitnt Successful Much
Money Will He Raved to the People
of this Conn try.
Speclnl to the Phess.
Washington, Oct. 4, Secretary
Wilson, of the Department of Ag
riculture, is confident that tho re
sult of this year's experiments with
sugar boots will add 300 per oout. to
the beot-sugar factories of the
oountry.
" I know of people who staud
ready, said he, in epoaklng on this
subject, " to establish twenty beet
sugar factories in this conn try next
year."
"That will be pretty big increase,
will it not, Mr. Sooretary V
"It will. We havo, perhaps, a
half dozen boot-sugar factories in
tho United States now, all told, so
that will be an increase of about
300 por cont. which I think will be
very good for tho first year of tho
experiment."
"Your experiments of this year
have apparently boen successful,
then ?
"Yos. Beyond question. ' Of
course our analyses havo not pro
gressod sufficiently yot to show very
definitely what each section has
done or is doing, but there is no
doubt in my mind of the entire
feasibility and practicability of the
production of all our sugar in this
country. The interost which the
farmors of the oountry has dovel
opod in beet-raising, tho results of
such analyses as have already boon
made of tho boots produced this year
and what wo know as to this year's
crop in the sections where beet
growing has already boon dovolopod,
show beyond quostion that it is en
tirely practicable for tho people of
this oountry to produce their own
sugar."
"That means tho retention in tho
United States of a great deal of
mouoy which now goes abroad?"
"Yes. A hundred millions is a
good deal of money, and espooially
when It goes out of the oountry. If
wo can distribute among our farmors
the hundred million dollars which
we now sond abroad for our sugar
it will be a vory important thing to
them and to the oountry in gonoral.
It will be especially so to labor.
People talk about labor and about
doing things for labor and for tho
cause of the workingman. What
can bo done more to the advantage
of tho workingman than to put into
his pockets a hundred million doU
lars whioh wo send out of the coun
try evory year for a single article?
Then add to that the amount whioh
wo Sond to other parts of tho world
for other classes of farm products
which might be kept at home and
the total is something enormous.
Tho value of the produots of agri
culture which are brought into tho
United States and whioh we might
produce at home if we were to make
the proper effort is, in round num
bors, 1380,000,000 por yoar. Why
not give that to our farmors?"
"What is boing done, Mr. Secre
tary in tho way of learning the re
suit of this year's experiments with
the sugar-beet sood wjrioh you sent
out lost spring?"
"We are gathering the beots pro
duced from the soods by sections
and States into our experiment
stations, and testing and analyzing
them. Those analyses are going on
constantly, and will continue for
some woeks or porhaps months. It
is a comparatively slow process, but
one which will give us a thorough
practical and scientific knowledge of
the capabilities of the various sec
tions of the country for this kind of
work, and whilo tho analyses havo
not yot progressed very far, enough
has been done to satisfy me that tho
results of this yoar's. experiments
with sugar beets are going to be
vory satisfactory and encouraging
I am confident that before the end
of anothor year we shall have
twenty-five great beet-sugar estab-
lishments in operation in the United
States, scattered all the way from
New York State to the Pacific Coast
and producing large quantities" of
boet augar and opening the way to
the production by our farmers of at
least a large proportion of the sugar
lor wmon wo now Bond our money
abroad."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Copfidenoe in PreKident MoKin
ley. Dry Docks at lftRtie Island Method of
Sending Out Heeds ForaKor on the
Ohio Sit nation. He Bar" Pronperltj
Has Killed tho Issue.
President McKinloy hasn't got to
obtain the confidence of the conser
vative pooplo an overwhelming
majority of this oountry j he has
had it for years earned it by his
record in Congress and as Governor
of Ohio. No man knows blotter
than ho tha t his enomies and the
enomies of tho Republican party
have been hoping evor since the day
he was inaugurated that he would
commit this government to some
radical policy, either domostio or
foreign, that would result in ohook
ing the prosperity now so generally
spread over the country, by creat
ing a scare. But from Mie day he
was uominated.Major McKinloy lias
firmly beliovod that his administra
tion was dostiuod to start tho people
of his country upon an era of grout
prosperity, and has bton fully deter
mined that it was his duty, a duty
in harmony with kin inclinations, to
help along prospority in every possi
ble way, instead of doing anything
that would be, likely to retard it.
His enemies thought he had follon
into their trap when it was cablod
from Europe that an ultimatum had
boon submitted to Spain, but they
wore badly mistakon. The proposi
tion submitted to Spain was a poaco
ablo one, intended to help along
prosperity in the United States, by
bringing about peace in Cuba and a
restoration of the commoroe of
100,000,000 a yoar we had with the
island bofora tho presont revolution
began, as will lie seen when the in
structions to Minister Woodford are
modo public. Major MoKinloy has
no ambition to add any new laurels
to his military rooord, but he aspires
to have his administration linked in
the minds of the people with good
times for everybody, believing with
most sensible persons that the
triumphs of oommeroe and industry
are muoh hotter and greater than
the triumphs of war.
A vigorous protest against tho ac
tion of the Board of Navol Offloers
whioh recommended the establish
ment of ton new dry docks at vari

League Island was made to Secre
tary Long by Senator Penrose, and
Representative Bingham. The Ponn
sylvanions insisted that Loaguo Is
land had always boen oonsidoro
one of tho best places in tho oountry
tor a ury aooK, as it is situated be
yond the reach of hostile guns, in
fresh wator, and close to the largost
supply of labor in the United
States. Sooretary Long did not in
dicate his intentions, but he called
attention to the Naval Board boing
only advisory, and said he was not
bouna to accept thoir recommenda
tions as his own.
Sooretary Wilson's plan of having
all the soods distributed by the De
panmont 01 Agriculture sont in

Comptroller . Traoewell, , of the
Treasury, rendered at the request
of Secretary Wilson, says the seeds
can only be purchased already put

Secretary Wilson will probably re
commend a change in the wording
ot tne seed clause of the next ap

mistatoment, willfully made. He
gave his impression of th situation
m Ohio thusly : "it is a foregone
conslusion thot the Republicans will
gain a sweeping victory. I have
mado several sioeches in the State,
and from what I have seen and
