Farmers Union Day.

Texarkdna ana o. W. ~ N@
The Farmers Union, the most pro-
gressiye husbandmen of the stdCe,
whose organization numbers nearly
65 600 accredited members Will deNoC"
this day to morning program ol
deep interest, and the afternoon "
the varied departments OF the fdll'
in which their labors have given so
great share. -..
This date is in honor of the Union
Idea~ and it seems fitting that the
Farmers Union, the largest IN tne
state should lead the march, put al
unions are invited and expected "
affiliate in the observance of this date,
which promises to become an estap-
lished annual occurance OF no lttle
importance to the progressive anu
educational interests of industrial or
ganizatiOns. r,.o
Last, but by no means least, will be
this great State Fair date. The gate
way city of the South, where the
Texas line is dim and blurred anu
blends with Arkansas in an INSOFAR
able manner, surrounded by a coun-
try rich in wealth on, above and De
meath the ground, will take an I'm.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1.
Grand InauuuraI Day.

On October first at eight O'Clock III
the morning President Jackson OF the
Arkansas State Fair will give the sig
nal which will open the gates, start
the machinery and the first great An
nual Arkansas Exposition will be open
in every department and division,
From the first incipiency OF the
State Fair every care was taken
that all should be in readiness on the
first day. The time is so short, the
great fair is so composite, covering
such a wide and diversified field OF
human endeavor that no time is to be
wasted. When the first visitors arrive
Monday morning, October first, they
will find corps of assistants in every
division ready to welcome them
There probably has never been SIM
liar organization where so great an
effort has been successfully made 10
have all in readiness on the opening
day, that this day might be splendid
and magnificent inaugural.
TUESDAY, oCToBER2..
Pine Bluff and S. E. Arkansas Day.
On this day special prominence Will
be given the exhibits and interests OF
this important division of Arkansas
that has so rapidly advanced in the
march of progress during the past few
years.
On this day the assembled products
of farm, field, forest and mine within
| this state will be shown to the entire
citizenship on a scale commensurate
with the wonderful natural and indus
trial possibilities of this great COM
| monwealth.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER
"LIttIe Rock Day" and "Red Mems
Day."
This day has been set aside for the
honor and credit of the Capital City,
"The City of Roses" the Metropolis
OF Arkansas. On this date. in the
midst and high-day of the Arkansas
State Fair, the rapidly developing IN,
dustries and the wonderfully varied
products in the center of the state,
literally surrounding the State Capital,
will have their full swing.
The program will also be made
doubly interesting by the l. o. R. NJ,
the lodge whose history is that of this
nation. The forty odd lodges of Ar
kansas cooperating with those from
other states have prepared program
of historic Indian features that will be
of unusual interest to all spectators,
and will be we'll worth special effort

BLIGHT cANKER.
When 1t Appears II Should Be Cut
Or at Once.

Every once IN awhile we receive
from some reader c. nmunication
giving his opinion OF the cause o.
blight in apple and pear trees. Usual
ly the cOrresi ondent Suggests some
mechanical reason for the blight Now
II Is no longer necessary for us to
guess concerning the cause of this
disease. t is perfectly we'll known.
There are different kinds OF fungi.
causing different kinds OF blight
These different fungi families are well
known and have been named. one
that has proved very destructive is
bacillus amylovorus.
In the main these blight producing
plants are favored by the rapid growth
of trees whether the trees be pear or
apple The rapidity of growth helps
the minute plant to get a foothold
and develop. The plant that produces
blight is very small and is a parasite.
IL lives from the sap in the plant it
makes its home. A seed of this
minute plant is called a spore. 1t
gets into the tender parts of a leaf
or twig and sends its developing
trunk all through the tissue near
which IL has fallen. When a thousand
OF these plants exist side by side they
use up all the material in the cells.
We will suppose the clump of these
parasites have developed on a leaf.
They quickly exhaust all the sap in
their immediate vicinity and leave
nothing but dry dead fiber. One such
spot would not injure the tree. but
when all the leaves of the tree are
covered by such spots the leaves are
killed and the life blood OF the tree
ceases TO circulate. The twig or the
limb whose leaves are dead in early
summer is dead also. The blight kills
by exhaustion. just as insect parasites
kin the tree 10y exhausting it,
That the minute fungous growths
are the cause of the blight is demon
strated positively. One method OF
proving it has been TO take some OF
the spores and place them i'm wound
made in well tree. The blight soon
develops around such an affected spot.
Water sprouts on apple trees prove
TO be a point of infection. This is
probably due 10 the fact that the wa
ter sprouts grow rapidly and are open

the blight is 10 prevent the develop
Ing OF water sprouts When cut OF.
the wounds should be smeared with
some 6ntiseptic solution. Such "A solu-
ton can be made with corrosive sub
Innate or copper sulphate. AS wounds
on trees are points OF infection, all
such wounds should receive the treat
ment suggested.
Some trees are very resistant to
the blights. while others fall an easy
prey. Among apples on the Cornell
university farm in New York the two
most resistant varict as were found
20 be Wolf River and Talman Sweet
The varieties most subject 20 blight
there were Baldwin and Ben Davis.
Where blight appears the wood
should be cat out and burned, and
early in the spring before the buds
open the trees should receive a treat
ment of lime sulphur wash.

OF the winters winds. but probably
the greatest advantage to the tree IS
the very much smaller surface for the
evaporation of water. During cold
weather all plants absorb water very
slowly and probably the greatest dan.
ger the tree has to meet during the
winter is that more water will be lost
by evaporation and Transportation than
can be supplied by absorption. Then
the vital process OF food manufacture
is almost entirely stopped by cold
weather and hence the work Of the
leaves may be said to be done as the
autumn temperature lowers
The process by which leaves are
removed from the trees is an interest.

IL we ask why leaves fall It may

but some Of the advantages to the
tree are apparent The most rigorous
season of the year is the winter, and
at this time most OF our trees are
without leaves. Leaves are the most
delicate parts Of the tree and are poor

northern winters. although we may
