IMPEACHMENT OF THE
U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL
Washington, D. C., Nor. 20.-
nouncement that they intend
"vigorously push impeachment pro
ceedings against the attorney general'
was made in a point statement yes
terday by Representative Keller, Re
publican, Minnesota, who presented
the original Impeachment charges to
the House, and Representative Wood
ruff, Republican, Michigan.
"We will not be deterred from
Insistence that the judiciary commit-
promptly as possible, both in justice
to the government and to me as at
torney general" Mr. Daugherty de
clared in a letter to Representative
Volstead, chairman of the House ju
diciary committee, made public last
night. The attorney general asked
that he be sent a copy of the charges
and declared he would "be glad to
furnish the committee all data and in
formation which it may request”
Daugherty said he learned
through the press of the introduction
of the resolution asking bis impeach
ment while he was "personally <
gaged in the trial and argument of
important government case in the fed-
irt in Chicago,” and that before
able to return to Washington,
tee act upon the resolution to enable ^ongress had adjourned. He had been
the impeachment of Mr. Daugherty to advised, he said, that the committee
proceed to trial before the Senate," had decided to hear testimony In sup-
said the statement. "We demand that Pert of the resolution December 4.
the judiciary committee hear the evi
dence against Daugherty or state
openly that it refuses to let the coun
try know how he has conducted him
self in office.”
At the time the Keller cnarges were
considered by the judiciary committee
prior to the present recess it was de
cided to postpone the formal hearing
demanded by Mr. Keller until early
the regular session next month.
“The election results demonstrate,”
said that statement, "that the people
are determined that graft and corrup
tion shall be eliminated from the fed
eral government. The fitness of Mr.
Daugherty to hold office was one of
the main Issues of the campaign in
many states. This Issue was empha
sized by speeches and in the platforms
of successful candidates for both
houses of Congress and wherever
Daugherty is that was an issue, those
candidates were elected regardless of
their party affiliations. By their votes
the people have demanded that the of
fice of attorney general of the United
States he filled by a man of anquee-
tioned integrity.” -

PROPAGATING THE -
PINEAPPLE PEAR
The new variety of Blight Proof
Pears that has been under experi
mentation at the Georgia Experiment
Station for twelve years has proven
noteworthy; and the demand for the
young trees is very great in all south
eastern United States, especially in
the Costal Plains region of Georgia,
Florida, and Alabama.
Since it is a hybrid pear it cannot
be said that it will come true to the
seed in every respect, even when
foreign pollen is not allowed to come
So all nurserymen are resorting
to asexual method of propagation.
The ordinary methods of budding and
grafting are not entirely satisfactory
because both the scion and stock
should possess the resistant quality.
However, this may be done by plant
ing seed of the Pineapple pear and
later grafting wood of the same
variety on it Grafts made on ordi
nary pear stock should be planted
deep enough foT the union of the
stock and scion to be below the sur-

face of the soil so as to prevent the
entrance of blight.
The fact that hybridization tends
towards sterility is very apparent in
this hybrid pear, because it is almost
seedles pear.
All of this makes the matter of
propagation complicated; and other
methods of reproduction have been
sought for. Experience has shown
that it can be propagated by cuttings
if a few general principles
followed. Some of tnese ar
follows:
Cuttings should be taken in the
dormartt season, preferably during
the months of December and January

current or succeeding years growth,

fruit buds instead of vegetative buds.
Beginning at the tip of thee shoot
with a strong bud, measure dow n six
or seven inches, and cut the shoot
just below a bud at an angle of 45
degrees; this should be a smooth cut
done with a sharp knife. Rub all of
the buds off of the cuttings except
the two nearest the tip. The next
cutting is made by trimming the twig
back to the next strong bud, titan
measure down as' before, cut in the
proper manner, and rub off the lower
buds; continue this until the entire
twig is used up. Each cutting will
contain from three to five internodes
The cuttings may be set in the
nursery immediately, op they may be
tied in bundles and buried in moist
sand until the latter part of February,
and then sent to the nursery.
The soil for the cutting should
contain a large amount of sand, a
moderate amount of humus and
organic matter, but a limited amount
of clay. It should be kept well
watered, but freely drained; and in
the time of freezing some protection
may be necessary.
The cuttings will root if no treat
ment whatever is given them, but
higher percentage will .be obtained if
means is used to prevent rapid
evaporation of the sap from the ex
posed end. This is done by dipping
the end into a solution of warm
paraffin or grafting wax. The
smooth coat of wax over the cut with
check moisture escape.
Place the cuttings in the soil in an
upright position, leaving only one-
half of an inch of the upper end out
of the soil; and pack the soil firmly
around the lower end. The later ap-
peaHar£e will indicate .Whether or
it has taken root. Soil moisture
may be conserved, in outdoor plant
ings, by covering the entire surface
of soil, after the cuttings are set,
with about two inches of pine straw.
The propagator will use his own
judgement as to when to plant them
in their permanent places.
