With tbe increased popolatlon and the cmnplex problems of goremmeu^ there bas been a growing demand tor the nomination and election of an eX' perlenced business man whp is com¬ petent to conduct tbe sftalrs of tbe town on approved bnslness lines. Lawrence B. Kirwin. the Democratic candidate. Ia quallfled both by experi¬ ence and by training to meet tbe re¬ quirements demanded by tbe peofae of tbe town. His nomination by the Democratic Party was a recognition by it of the call of the people for a business administration of the ,at(airB of the town.
He was bom thirty-ine years ago in
LAWRENCE E. KERWIN Hempstead VUlage, where he ha.s re¬ sided ever since. A poor boy, aB"i1ip result of earnest application, upright and straight forward method he has become a succe/lui ?)U3lneB8 man. Not merely content with his business activities, he has taken the leading part in public affair, and for the pasi fourteen years has ben the leader of his election district.
Lawrence E. Kirwin was the flrst Transfer Tax Appraiser of Nassau County, and former Governor Glynn, when Comptroller of the State, char¬ acterized the Tax Appraiser's office in Nassau County, as the best conduct¬ ed office in the State of New Yow with a fine system of accounts.
The most important duty aillched to the office of Supervisor, ia that which has to do with the construction and maintenance of County and Town roads. This office requires an experi¬ enced and competant man, and Lawr. ence E. Kirwin, the Democratic can¬ didate tor the office of Supervisor, is eminently qualified by experience and training to perform this important part of his duties. He served as a member of tbe State Advisory Board on tbe construction of highways. He was ajlso^ "appointed as a member of t^woil^ Road8 Convention held a« Detroit Mich., and served as a dele¬ gate t|^ that'Joonreotioft,'^'':.: ^^.'f ' ¦-
The candidate Is married and re- sMeftaMSith his tsmlly on Franklin tftle^ in Hempstead VUlage. He bSi. been engaged In the building business and aa suocessful has he been lie his work that he has soeceeded in es- tabllhinr One of the largest buildlnft businesses on Long Island. For 4 number ot years he has been inter¬ ested in road constructioa. and has traveled exteasirely for the purpose of perfecting himself In this line of public necessity. He is an adrooate of a hard smooth top road whl«h is eminently luractlcable for tbe farmers who hare to use tbe roads for the type of road is tsrored by antomobll- Ists.
In sddUlon to his experience in rosd matters, as head of a large busi¬ ness he has bad experience in the systematlitng of accounts, and as su- perrisor he will bring to bear his ex¬ perience with the result that the at- Ace will be conducted in accordance with modern business-like methods.
The election of Lawrence E. Kir¬ win to the office of Supervisor will ^ean tbat the people of the town will have this important position occupied by a man whose past record Is a gtiar- antr of future efficiency.

HARD TASK FOR ORCHARDIST
Problem of Growing Pincly^lored
Apple* for MaHtet Is Offllcult—
Eftaets ef Spraying.
(By W. a TRBATOR.) One of the greatest problems oob- fronting the^pple grower Is how to get color In bis fruit; where the or- chsrd is cultlrated color is too dull. We may some day know more sbout It I find that a tew kinds will color well naturally when under tlllsge. The Jonathan Is an eminent example. With Baldwin and most other kinds the color remains dull unless they bang

until fully ripe; even then there must be plenty of sunshine. I find that color is added very rapidly during the last three of four days preceding the cor¬ rect picking time. A tree-ln enfeebled health or whose leaf functions are in any manner disturbed will grow high¬ ly colored fruit, but these are eoudi- tlons that we naturally do not' want. 1 will cite as a notable illustration a Northern Spy crop that I grew two years ago. The trees were very vig¬ orous and under cultivation. They re¬ ceived two drenchlngs of a strong sol¬ ution of Ilme-sulpbur Just liefore bud¬ ding time; the first, applied during a heavy wind was not deemed sufficient as we could not do good back spray¬ ing. A day or two later the spraying was repeated with an opposite wind, and they were overdosed, no doubt of It. The result was that the foliage did not develop well. Fifty per cent of it never got more than half size, the remaining leaves never became large,, but they had good color. The trees produced a heavy crop of wonder¬ fully beautiful fruit of the highest color and flavor. I felt that it was a marvel that they could carry through so fine a crop with this scarcity of foliage and that It would be such a drain upon their vitality that they would never recover; but there were seemingly no ill effects for these trees had more than ordinary foliage and growth last year.
Would tbls serve as » hint? Can we get fine color through the means- of Ilme-sulphur In the manner de¬ scribed? It might be dangerous to put through ,such an experiment in a wholesale way.
Tbe crying need of our markets Is for apples with their color. The bulk of the Baldwin crop does not have a Cbaace tQ.ge^ its color ss It le gatb-

ered too soon, aad this Is a situation that the orchardist cannot always help. The fruit must be gathered be¬ fore the Btorm's come or there will be great loss. It the crop is large tbe work must begin early unless help Is sbuudant enough to care tor it tn a limited period. However, color is the thing to strive for end it may some¬ times pay to take a little risk tn wait¬ ing for more maturity. I feel that much can be done in this way to Im¬ prove the selling qualities of apples. Tb* grower who has a few of tbe standard kinds following each other in the natural order of ripening has an advantage; he has a more extend¬ ed picking season.
I make a 'Close study of the exsot time of maturity of tbe various kinds and aim to gather each kmd as near¬ ly as possible at this precise period.

COVER CROPS FOR MULCHING
On* 0f th* B*«t Mahfi* of Protecting
Root* ef AppI* and Cherry THm*
—K**p* the Sell Melat
The relation of soil moisture and soil cover to root killing of apples and cherry stocks has been studied st tbe experiment stations. The results showed that a strsv^ mulch, or a cover crop that mats down like a straw mulch, tends to present freeslng and alternate freezing and thawlag, and thus reduces injuries to the roots.
Any method of culture that leaves the ground perfectly bare la the^fall. thus favoring deep freeslng and al¬ ternate freezing and thawing. Is not to be recommended where root killing Is at all common. A..^T*r crop Is one of tbe best means tor jtrotectlng the roots of trees. Likewise, any means of culture that leaves the ground moist In fall has an advantage over methods that leave the ground very dry.
In tbls regard, clean cultivation might be expected to be ahead of cover crops. The best all-around method of culture for young orchards is thor¬ ough cultivation in early summer, fol¬ lowed by a cover crop In the tall, so far as tests covering only a few years can prove any method best. A mulch of straw is known. to k«ep the soil moist during the suminer, and it also protects tender roots in winter, but Its use will surely Increase winter injury to tender tops of trees by prolonging fall growth. Besides a mulch induces a shallow root development, which may result disastrously in later years, and its use is out of the question in large orchards.
Thorough cultivation protects trees against drought as well as mulching, and keeps the roots from forming near the surface of the ground. Wlien cul¬ tivation is given in early summer, all that Is necessary to furnish winter pro¬ tection is to stop cultivating In mid¬ summer, grow a cover crop (weeds be¬ ing better than nothing), which will dry the ground in fall, causing the new wood growth to ripen early in prep- iratlon for winter, and which will, by Holding the snow out by matting down lo form a mulch, protect tender roots during winter. Good cultivation in early summer can often be given young trees by growing some culti¬ vated crop In the orchard.

FALL SPRAYING IS FAVORED
When Possi^U^Selaot Warm Day for
Oparation, af Insects Then Crawl
Out for Sunlight.
After all rotten apples, pruned limbs and Atber refuse have been cleared up about the orcharil .the trees should be given a thorough spraying.
If possible, one should choose a warm day for the operation, so most of the insect pests crawling out to life in the sunlight will be exposed to the action of the spraying solution.
Special attention should be given old knots and rough and rotten spots about tbe trees, as In these place* the fruit pests deposit their eggs tor next season's crop and at tbe same time many of theae pests tbemaelve* are harboring In safe retreat till winter 1* over.
There are several reason* for thi* ff^U apraylhg.' It not only destroy* the Inaect pdsta, but their egg*, aleo, which bar* beea laid.
