GRAHAM, N. 0., June 10 1915. SECRETARY Bft RESIGNS. On Monday Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan resigned as a member oi President Wil ton's cabinet in of a disagreement with the President over the government's policy to ward Germany. Mr. Bryan not sign the note to Germany and resigned. The note was signed by Acting Secretary Robert The entire cabinet, save Mr. 'Hrvan, approved the note and the policy it Outlined. Mr. Daniels, though a staunch and loyal friend of Mr. Bryan, stood against him and with the President. Mr. Bryan favored a policy that could not re - sult in war, while the President is and hq» done what he could to maintain peaceful relations, yet he (eels that his first tlu'.y is the protection of and up holding the honor of his country, and he expresses himself friendly but strongly and firmly. Mr. Bryan, of course, had a right to resign, and under the circum stances it \vaß the logical course. - He will be severely blamed ana criticised for taking the step Just at this time at sO critical a period. The time was inopportune, to say the least. * Now, while Mr. Bryan exercised a right, rather than compromise his convictions, ihe should have •topped there, for under the stress pf conditions he could have served his country best by being discreet In speech. On the other hand he has courted criticism, and Justly, (or his statement. It was enough lor him to disagree with the Pres ident and resign at this Juncture without drying to graft Jits Indi vidual views on the public. Later, when the danger line is passed, he could havp expressed his reasons more at length, but whatever he says now will but tend to embarrass tlie Piesident in .maintaining an American [policy. As soon as the country gets over the shock It will make up its esti mate of the situation. The Leo Frank case has been a continuous sensation.

A gigantic shipping comDination, the greatest ever conceived in the .history ol Uie world, with a capi tal of hundreds of millions of dol lars, and with all the governments of Houth and Central America as as the United States as owners oi the controlling interests, may be the outcome of the Pan-American financial conference now in session here. v It the United States possessed an adequate Merchant alarine, this country would be enjoying the most stupendouos and lar reach reaching business booms that was ever known. We could sell abroad at least one hundred million dollars per month more than we are sell selling, which is 1(1250,000,000, if we had the ships to carry toe goods. It is believed that a temendous Merchant Marine will be the result of tins conference. South and Cen tral America want more of our trade and we haVe not the ships to carry them nor neither-have they. Brazil and Argentine have Just established a merchant ina rfne between those countries and this, but it is still inadequate. PRESIDENT WILSON'S ADDRESS. President Wilson in addressing this great conference electrified the 1 audience when he declared that if ■ private capital does not provide an adequate merchant marine and i provide it quickly the United States must. This statement elcited thun ' derous applause from the confer ence The great empire of Germany i which could be set on the State of Texas and then -would not cover it by fifty-five thousand square miles, has, by its enormous merchant ma rine maintained .t population of , about seveny million people. EXTRA SESSION OP CONGRESS SUGGESTED If the capitalists of this country have not made a healthy start in this direction before September Ist, it is being urged that President Wilkin should immediately call an extra session of Congress in Octo ber for the purpose of passing a bill authorizing the U nlted States Government to buy, build and ojt erate a great Merchant Marine so , that our foodstuff, cotton, manu factured goods and mineral pro ducts can oe shipped ta the foreign i market which will thereby disband i for fifty *years at leas our "army of unemp'oyejl.* Elon Closes Splendid Year. ■ C3or. of The Gleaner.

According to Mr. 11. R. Fulton, Plant Pathologiat of Ihe North Carolina Experiment Station, the Orchard lWß of Weetern North Carolina are MI If r ing heavy losses through itiHcfTx-is of the pear blight on their apple trees. Numerous requests IIHVH en received by the Experiment tSiatn-n as to methods of combating aud oou trolling the diseaae. The lollowiog description and methods ol control | will be of interest to all apple growers: "The diseaae attacka appV, P l '« r and quince. It is caused by bac eria that multiply in the imier liaik where spray materials cannot reach tbem. ; It is spread by insects. Much of its damage is dne to destruction of the flowers in the nectar of which the bacteria fag multiply readily. It is carried over winter in the ihick bark cankers of larger limbs or trunks. Most of the infections occur in April and May, during close, showery weather. Remove water sprouts immediately because of dan ger of spread downward to import ant parts, especially the crown re gion where collar rot may be pm ! duced. Cut off limbs that have thick bark affected, or cut out the bark canker, if it small. The small i twigs and fruit spurs on Apple are not dangerous at this date, after they have dried and cracks have ap peared, between sound and dead parts On pear even thp smallest 1 affected twigs may giva further trouble and should liA-emoved. "Aways cut well below (ten inches if possible) (he affected part. Dis infect all wounds with 1 to 1,000 corroaivesubliniaiesoluticm (a poison sold by druggists), also paint the larger cuts. Look over the trees after the next showery period to be sure there is no spread frun imper fectly removed parte. "Secure early maturing of new growth by holding up on cultivation, or even_by p'anting a summe l- cover crop. Ayoid excessive fertilization, Especially with nitrogen^ ' This wjnter remove all cankers >tn f gel rid o( neglected and useless pear, apple and qaince trees. Next spring Hutch early and late for any appearance of blight and cut it out at once. A blighted twig remove.! in time often saves u whole tree." Use Harrows or Weeders in Cora and Cotton Fields. After corn and c6tton mt-e been planted in a Well prepared sed-bed, it iq essential to keep' down the growth of grass and weeds, maintain : the land in a good fine condition, and to retard evaporation of the moisture, to rQn over the land after rains with a section harrow or weed er. Theee implements should be started as soon after planting as need be and should be run diag onally acroee the rows. In using the harrow, after the planta are up, the teeth ahould be well alanteJ back in order not Co tear np the young plants. Usually one working with one ol these implements be'ore the plants come up and oue or two after they AJ* may be given before the regular cult vaiioHf Wlio VuTiivsimw are atarted. The implements are not only effective for the first two or three workings of these crops, but their use will prove to bo a very cheap means of cultivation until the plants get to be too large, Tbey may be used successfully at a time when graas and weeds are moat like ly to get a foot-hold in the fields. A more -general uae of these simple implements for first cultivations should be made this ye».r by North Carolina farmers. If properly operat ed, they will not tear up enough of the crop to affect the stand. Try them thia year and you could not be induced k> do without them far an other year, used for thia purpose.

It is impossible to give anything ' like an accurate report of the fruit ■ crop during the month of May as such reports are constantly being re ■ vised and the estimates altered, to > conform with the chadgfag cAndi -1 tions taking place at this time' of ' year. From an estimate based on I reports of a date not later than May ' 15th, it would appear that the pros pects for a normal fruit crop were very encjuraging for a majority of I the fruit producing sections, al though there are a few sections which will not produce nornal crops. t That the apple crop of the Pacific Northwest will be short of the total of 1914 is the conclusion of the North Western Fruit Exchange. In Ar-* kansaH there will be a short crop of lien Davis apples this year but other varieties are up to standard. In New York the Baldwins will be shy but all other varieties are reported as indicating a yield above the av ir ag».
