HAMPSHIR
AVERAGE S245EACH
MR. HEARST SkbtiKED
HAT delectable plM'cptdr and guardian of tho Ameri
can people in his western simi post of morality, the
San Francisco Examiner, has discovered that prize fight
ing must go, and that it is too brutal and demoralizing a
pastime for the enlightened twentieth century to ondtire.
Says Mr. Hearst, effervescing in righteous indignatien:
This Inhuman sport must be abolished. The sordid, cheat
ing, swindling, BUrcthlng gambling spectacles are stnge.il to delight tho
passions and rob the pockctbooks of those who crowd to boo them.
There Is no excuse for tho toleration of prito-flghtlug. It Is op
posed to the spirit of the age. It Insults the decencies. It outrages tha
humanities. It Is n Ravage anachronism, n relic of all that was worst In
times when cruelty wns common, when men were little less savngo than
the wild beasts, when human nature Itself seemed, through centuries oJ
Ignorance nnd retrogression, to have beconio hopelessly debased.
And yet this very issue of the Examiner and every
other issiie of the numerous Hearst newspapers feature m
"double page of sport" and on Sundays an entire section
principally devoted to exploiting these "cheating, swind
ling, sure-thing gambling spectacles," and making heroes
out of its low-browed votaries.
Every exhibition of the "inhuman sport." is written up
by high-priced experts and columns of space filled wit i
pen and picture descriptions of what the horror-struc c
Hearst styles "awlul and
tacles." And when there is
dialate upon, the space is occupied by gossip and twaddle
concerning the charming personalities of the pugs.
Evorv time in a distant citv the "bruisers climb over
the ropes with intent to beat, to maim and to slug each
other into unconsciousness,
moralist observes, the same
"inhuman sport" by hiring a theater and two dummies to
represent the aforesaid bruisers and reproduce the
"shameful spectacle" after telegraph description of the
original, while electric bulletins flash the fight by rounds
i- i 1 .....li !.! ... 1I...1 1.1 1- it !...,. 11. ....!.
io expectant inmuuuu-s mat oiock uiu euv s uimuui'u
fares. This editorial hypocrisy and cant is part of the Hearst
system. "Whatever can bo done to pander to vice and the
vicious influences and lower the moral tone of the com
munity or nation is consistently and persistently done in
the news columns, while the editorial page preaches a
holier than thou morality. Most of the paner appeals to
the slums, while part of it to the church.
While the Hearst news columns relate and illustrate in
detail the scarlet sins and scandals of society, his editorial
columns thunder against the white slave traffic its news
stories create. Prating of the sanctity of the home in one
column, the other pages are filled with pictures of fair
divorcees while the peccadillos of faithless husbands furn
ish a never-ending subject for his comics. "While deplor
ing the viciousness of gambling and the race track in one
page, special editions are issued with sure-thing tips to
fatten the bookies and toutrf. Advocating purity in pol
itics, Mr. Hearst loses no opportunity to assail, pursue and
blacken the fair repute of honest men who refuse to wear
his livery and halts at no bargain with corruption to attain
his personal ends.
Is there any wonder that the moral tone is low in com
munities where such dollar morality papers dominate the
journalistic field and youths are led by the kindly light of
a Hearst?
Inspect Crowns and Roots
of Apple and Pear Trees
Owner of pear anil npple trees
hlioulil lose no time In milking care
ful inspection of their orchards so
ns to he Mire that no infected tree
will be overlooked before the blos
Homine; season open. The time ih
relatively bliort, the blotsomintr per
iod beiiiK but ten weeks' dUtnnl. We
hope that there is no one who thinks
that the inspectors have tlm lime to
do the netunl work of eradication;
on the other liainl, grower should
co-operate with the iutipectoro m nV
to make it po-siblo for them to find
nil cases of hidden infection.
In the many articles which have
been published by thin office on pear
blight, attention has been culled to
the fact nil pome fruits are suscep
tible in a more .or less degree to the
ntincks of the peur blight germ. We
know that, certain varieties or strains
have a tendency to resist serious in
fection, but there is no known in
stnnee of immunity. It is a mistake
to speak of "immune tree," because
ns yet wo know of none. Some va
rieties of porno fruits have high re
sisting powers, and that is the best
that can be said.
It is a well-known fact that our
commercial varieties lire not grow
ing on their own roots; that is to
ny, a Ilartlett tree is not all Mart
let!, nor is n Newtown npple nil
Newtown, for tho reason that those
commercial varieties have been
propagated by grufting or budding
onto seedling roots. The root or
stock which has been most common
ly used in the past for tho propaga
tion of the commercial pear is known
as "French roots"; apples are in liko
manner grafted or budded onto tip
ple seedlings. Most often these
seedling roots nre very susifptiblo
to blight infection and, therefore, no
innlter how resistant tho variety
grafted onto them may be, thoy may
become infected and thu tree lost be
cause of the destruction of the root.
For instance, it is known that tho
Anjou and Winter Nelis pears nre
more resistant to blight than many
other pear varieties j tho Newtown
und" Winesnp aro more resistant than
the Spitzenberg, but the fact that
these varieties mav have been graft
ed ohlo non-resistant seedling stock
makes possible severe root infection
Inglitlul and sliamotui spec
no "abominable spectacle" to
as the indignant editorial
moralist helps suppress the
and n consequent destruction of the
trees through the los of the roots.
Munv it resistant tree mav become a
total loss because of the suscepti
bility of the seedling root to blight
infection. Tho fact that no blight
has been found in the part of the
tree above the grouipl does not nee-
cssurilv mean that there mav not bo
crown or root infection that in, in
fection below thu -raft union, lor
this reason, it is the fruit growers'
,dut yto examine the crown and roots
which branch from it. This may ho
done by taking enough dirt away
from the crown so ns to expose the
branching roots.
It U only within recent yenrs that
tho use of resistant roots has been
taken advantage of, although such
has been advised for several years.
Nurserymen have been convinced
that it is to their interest to secure
seedling stock which will have the
maximum resistance to blight. The
nurserymen in the Hogue Hiver val
loy are among the first to adopt the
plan of putting our commercial va
rieties on resistant roots. They are
Importing their own seedlings, and
are even importing seed from the
most resistant known varieties.
The manner of entrance of the
blight germ into the roots is rela
tively simple, und there should he no
wonder about it. Every orchard is
full of insect life from tho very time
spring opens until tho leaves begin
to fall. I hnve succeeded in finding
the pear blight germ on n very Inrge
number of species of insects. I liavc
found it on nuts, aphides, click
beetles (including the larvae), i'lies,
borers, canker worms, bees, mites,
millipedes, etc. I have also found
it on tho claws of birds. Knowing
tlio carriers of infection nnd their
habits, we should not wonder why
blight is carried to every part of a
tree. Thcro are various other means
by which blight may be carried, but
they need not bo mentioned here. In
order to prevent, In n great degree,
root and crown infection, it would
be a good pint) to make use of stick
bands, us has been advised.

How to Cure and Cook a Ham
Now. If Mr. M. P. Cato did live
eomo 2000 years and more ago ho
had an appetite not far dlferent front
thai of any Iwentloth-ccntury Mulct
man who got his first training back
on hU father's nnrrow-acrcd farm.
So It Is that Cato felt like writing
down something about bow to cure
hams. A Virginia farmer hns trans
lated what Cato brji to say on this
subject in '"no Agrleulturn.." This Is
Included In itoman Kami Manage
ment, which Is published by McMil
lan's. After Riving Cnto's Instruc
tions, tho translator goes tho great
Roman ono better with somo sugges
tions of his own. Hero Is what Cato
says:
"This Is the way to cure hams tn
Jars or tubs: When you have bought
your hams trim off the hocks. Take
n half peck (lemldous) of ground
Iloman salt for each ham. Cover tho
bottom of the Jar or tub with salt
and put In a ham, skin down. Cover
tho whole with salt and put another
ham on top, and cover this In tho
same mnnner. lie careful that meat
does not touch meat. So proceed,
and when you havo packed, all tho
hams cover the top with salt so that
no meat can bo seen, nnd smooth it
out even. Whon tho hams bnvo been
In salt five days tako them out with
tho salt and repack them, putting
thoHo which were on top at tho bot
tom. Cover them In tho satuo wnv
with salt nnd pres thnm down.
"After tho twelfth dny remove tho
hams finally, brush off the salt and
bang them for two-days In tho wind.
On the third day wlpo them off olenn
with a sponge and rub them with
olive oil. Then hang thorn in smoko I
for two (Injs, and on tho third day)
rub thorn with a mlxtnro of ollvo oil 1
and vinegar,
"The hang thorn In tho mat houso
and neither bats nor worms will touch
them."

takes It up again and carries It on to
tho table. Halting by tho way, he:
has It cooked for, ho says: "A hnm,
however well cured, Is of no use ;
civilized man until It It conked,"
And this Is tho way ho would havo it
cooked, tho way ijioy do It Vlrulnla:
Soak ov.ornight In told water, hav
ing first scrubbed tho hnm with u
Hinull brush to icinovo all the popper,
saltpeter, etc., left from tho curing
process,
"Put on to boll next morning In

I. ven If Cato was a coarse and vig
orous old fighter, It's likely ho would
have agreed with this Virginia far
mer that "to he thoroughly appro
elated a ham should be carved on tin
table by u pretty woman. A thlcK
