Iowa Capital to Invest.

A syndicate Of Iowa capitalists
are arranging at the present
time for the purchase of two
sections of timber and agricul-
tural lands in Beltrami county.
The deal will probably not be
made for some time yet, but the
company's agents at this point
are picking up tracts daily and
will by the first of April have
options on and holdings which
will aggregate in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000 acres. The cedar
will be first gotten off and the
land will be held for development.
It will be gratifying to the bust
ness people of this section gen
orally to know that capital is
looking this way and is willing to
evidence it's faith in the future of
Beltrami county by investments
of this character.

ASK PROTECTION
Bena Settlers Fear Violence al
Hands Of Indian
Police.

Settlers of the new townsIte Of
Bena, which is a rival of Richards
on the line of the Great Northern
road in the Chippewa Indian
reservation, have asked Indian
Commissioner Jones to insure
their protection until the com
missioner of the general land
office has determined whether
they have any rights on the land.
The settlers of the Bena town
site, were ordered by Indian
Agent G. l.. Scott, through an
assistant, Charles Beauleau, to
get off the reservation and re-
move their effects by Jan. -
They refused to go and were ar
rested, the proceeding being the
same as marked the earlier his
tory of the town of Richards.
The order to leave the land has
been accompanied by rumors
that. the tents would be torn
down by the Indian police and it
was the report that caused the
settlers to ask protection at the
hands Of the Indian commits
sioner.
The order to move off has not
yet been rescinded and the set
tiers at Bena are anxiously await
ing developments.

Actors Boost Bemidii.

Bemidji has no more enthusi-
astic advocates abroad than the
members of the various dramatic
companies which visit this city
from time to time. All theatrical
people know a good town when
they see it and they never lose an
opportunity to talk about it.
Queries regarding business open
ings and general conditions III
this city are often received as
the result of remarks that the
theatrical people make to opera
house managers and others
whom they meet on the road.

Horticultural Notes
By F. WALDEN.

called on the editor of these notes. The OBJ
iect of this visit to Western Washington is
to make some Investigations with reference
to the raising of cranberries in this state.
He was introduced to some of the leading
commission men in Seattle and particularly
to those who handle this kind of fruit. In
this way Prof Mooring learned who are the
principal growers of cranberries and then
went to where they are grown that he might
interview the growers. From them he ex-
poets to learn the extent to which this berry
is grown in Washington and also something
of the methods employed in its cultivation
and harvesting In due time the results of
these observations will be embodied in
report and given to the public. 1t will
no doubt be surprise to many readers OF
The Ranch to learn that cranberries are
raised at all in Washington and especially
that they have become commodity OF com
merce. The writer knows but little about
this business The cranberries of Washing
ton are here in the Seattle markets in con-
siderable quantities. They are smaller
than the Cape Cod cranberries, somewhat
darker in color and are said by those who
know. to be better in quality. 1t is further
said that the business may be largely ex-
tended so that this state may ultimately
raise all the cranberries needed here and
have some to send to the states where they
cannot be grown.
This step on the part of Pullman college
to investigate the cranberry business shows
that this enterprising school does not pro
pose to overlook anything in the state OF
Washington that properly comes under It's
jurisdiction. This is just it should be
and is lust what we would expect from the
leadership Of President Bryan, assisted by
the faculty Of this young and progressive
school
Tt seems that the question of controlling
the codling moth is one that will not down.
The writer has offered a good deal IN these
notes on the subject during the past year
and yet the matter must be kept before the
readers of this Journal even at the expense
of repetition, or some one will be dlsappolnt-
ed. The following letter on this question
shows how eagerly apple growers are seek
ing information to help them combat this
most injurious Of all insect pests:
Dear Sir-I observe from papers that
YOU seem to be reliable authority on horti-
culture in it's various branches and take
the liberty of asking information on the
subjects of getting rid of the Goblin moth,
which has been a very serious pest to me
the past season. | first sprayed my orchard
when the blossoms fell, with vitriol, lime
and Paris Green Then I observed my
apples practically free from worms, that is
summer apples and then sprayed the second
time in July with lime, arsenic and salsoda.
Nv fall apples, the Wealthy, only had per-
haps ten per cent wormy apples and did not
spray any more, my winter apples being
very badly infested with the moth, so much
ca that 7 became almost DISCOURAGED but

did their most destructive work in August
and September and I believe they worked
up into October [ have an orchard of about
80 acres mostly winter apples, part of the
orchard is eleven years DID, trees twenty
feet apart, and am commencing now to take
out every other tree in every other row, as
| believe trees are too close together [
would like to know what you think about
it. [ have never banded the trees for moth
AT what time do you put on the bands and
for how long? E. W. DOWNEN
In answer to the question of friend
Downen l would say that we never can get
rid of the codling moth once it gets a good
start in our orchards The best that we can
hope to do is to control it to such an extent
that our apple growing may be profitable
1t will pay to grow apples if we can have
from seventy-fve to eighty per cent. of APP
pies clear of worms. We have some years
done much better than that-having as high
as ninety five per cent. of good apples. But
to secure even seventy-fve per cent. good
apples requires persistent fighting of this
insect. [ depend on spraying, banding and
clean culture The spraying is the most i'm
portant of these remedies but I can't dis
pense with the bands by any means. I
spray at least five times as follows Twice
as soon as [ can get over the orchard after
the bloom has fallen, once in June, once in
July and twice in August. [ use a half
pound Of tested Paris Green to barrel of
water and from two to four pounds of good
lime The lime is Stacked in some convenient
vessel-a five gallon oil can is good one
and only the 'milk of the lime" is used and
it should be strained through fine wire
cloth. In my spraying use from two to four
pounds of sulphate of copper (blue vitrioD
and that must be dissolved in a wooden YES
sci and not added to the spraying material
till everything else is in the barrel Good
pressure must be kept up in order that the
material may be driven in among the
branches Of the trees with considerable
force A good agitator must be used or the
Paris Green will sink to the bottom Every
thing must be done thoroughly. AS to the
use of arsenic and salsoda, I would say that
some of our best orchardists recommend
that formula highly, E. L. Smith of Hood
River among others, but for some reason [
have not made as good Roadway with that
compound as with the Paris Green. Some
recommend the dust spray very highly but
I have not tried it and don't know about
it. Paris Green is used with dry lime and
sprayed on dry, hence it is called "dust
spray
The bands should be put on not later
than the middle of June and then kept on
the year around Whenever, after they are
put on, worms can be found under them
they should be taken off about every ten
DAYS and the worms killed and then replaced.

the slaughter by removing the bands and
killing the worms till the middle of Septem-
Der when they may remain on till the next
April But why quit the middle of Septem-
Der? By that time, and perhaps somewhat
sooner the larvae cease to turn into pupae.
Whenever no more pupae appear there will
be no more flies hatch out that year. The
cooling moth always passes the winter in
the larvae state and not in the pupae state.
I would recommend friend Downen and
all others interested in the question of com
batting the codling moth to send to the de-
partment of agriculture, Washington D. c.,
and ask for Farmers Bulletin No. III en-
titled "The Control of the Cooling Moth. -
It is by c. B. Simpson, the noted entomolo-
gist, and is the result of his Investigations
on the codling moth in the Northwest. 1t
will be sent free to all who ask for it. 1t
is a valuable contribution to this subject.
AS to thinning out an orchard eleven years
old where the trees are only twenty feet
apart, I would most certainly recommend
that it be done not only as means Of bet
ter controlling the codling moth but also
because the fruit will color better. But it
takes nerve to do it.
The papers report that mole skin coats
are becoming the fad of the "smart set''
and some people are saying "Good, we will
get rid fthis pestiferous little animal. "
All, there's the rub Is the mole pestifer-
GUS animal? To destroy the mole is to get
rid of one of our friends. Moles live on
insects and not on vegetables as rule.
Sometimes in burrowing for insects they may
cut off the roots of plants but the insects
that they destroy would do vastly more
harm to the vegetables than the moles do.
Skunks and birds are the friends of the hor-
ticulturist and Should not be treated as
enemies Birds may eat few cherries and
pick into few apples, but as rule they do
much good in the destruction of insects and
in the eating of weed seeds. Skunks may
turn preacher occasionally and eat few
chickens and their perfumery may even sur
pass a fashionable belle, but they destroy
mice and other small animals that are really
injurious to the gardener and fruit grower.
Let us learn to know our friends and not
treat them as enemies
w. M. Scott, of Kiona, in letter dated
Dec %, 1903, says that he and some others
there have not enough trees to pay to buy
power sprayer and asks me what hand pump
I would recommend Before we used our
power sprayer we tried different kinds of
hand spraying outfits The pump that did
the best work and worked the easiest was
the Pomona pump We bought ours of the
Yakima Hardware Company of North Yaki-
ma. We used two sets of hose with an iron
rod six or eight feet long attached to the
