The following interesting COM
munication comes from our State
President, Mrs. A. G. Butterfield, of
Weiser:
Weiser, Ida, October 3, 1907.
To the Club Women of the First
District Federation, .Greeting:-The
time is near at hand when represen-
tatives Of all your clubs, will meet
in convention to review the past
years work, and lay plans for the
future. Will you be present? 1t Is
not convenient, it is too expensive,
you are too busy?
The women who have lead your
organization for the past year, have
given generously, of their time and
strength in your behalf. No burdens
have been too honorous, no task too
complicated for them to undertake.
Not a week of the past year has
passed without earnest thought, and
effort in your behalf. They ask you
now, to meet with them, to suggest
improvements to gather inspiration
for the future. To grow in charity,
strength, and good fellowship.
How can you more fittingly honor
them than your presence as delegates
and alternates-if all those are filled,
it is worth while to be a visitor.
Bring the federation spirit with you,
eager to give more than you receive,
! and it will de the best Federation
meeting, ever held in Idaho. Let us
vie with one another in honoring
those who have borne the heat and
burden of the day; let us come and
bring with ideas given form and sub.
stance, our ambitions for our home
communities revived, sympathizine
with the struggles of other clubs
and rejoicing with their successes.
1t Is my hope to be with you anC
one of you in the approaching meet
ing.
Fraternally,

Look After the Chimneys.

Now is a good time to see that
the chimneys are all right. 1t may
save much trouble, as fire means
more than the burning of a building
generally. Get the tiue in good shape
for the winter fires, and see that all
cracks, crevices and holes made by
loosened mortar are made safe. See
that safe place is made in which
the daily ashes may be emptied with
out danger of setting something to
burning. These may seem small mat
tiers, but it pays to look after them.

In Montana this plant Is most COM
monty known by the name wild par

OF this name mistaken notion has
arisen that this Is Identical with the
common parsnip of the garden. A
number of cases Of poisoning of both
cattle and sheep have happened In
Montana from eating this species, and
since the term wild parsnip is com
monty used TO designate the cause 1t
has come to be believed by a large
humber of persons that the garden
parsnip when allowed to escape from
cultivation and run wild acquires poi
sonous properties. The two plants
should be readily distinguished. The
lowers of the garden parsnlp are yell
low, while those OF the water hemlock
are white.

APPLE scAB.
Results Of Various Experiments at the
Nebraska Station.


In some spraying tests against apple
scab carried on at the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station the varieties OF apples
used were Sweet June. Winesap, Maid
en- Blush, Jonathan and Rails Genet.
Bordeaux was the solution used. The
first two varieties named were young
trees. five and eight years old respec-
lively. The other varieties were old
trees The Maiden Blush and Wlnesap
were sprayed only once. May % for the
former and May 27 for the latter. In
both cases after the blossoms had
fallen and in case of the Wlnesap even
ifter the calyx lobes had closed. The
fweet June, Jonathan and Rails Genet
were sprayed at different times. The
prevalence OF scab on the sprayed and
unsprayed trees was first determined
approximately by simply examining
from 100 to POO fruits per tree. Later
when the apples were picked. all the
fruits except i'm case OF Jonathan were
examined and the amount OF scab on
different trees determined more accu-
rately.
In Records Of the Tests.
In the records OF the tests given
Two or three facts stand out with spe-
cial prominence. The unsprayed fruit
was very scabby, running from about
90 per cent i'm case Of Jonathan to 80
per cent with Winesap. The first
spraying. April 26 and %. when the
leaf buds were just opening. afforded
no protection TO the fruit Trees
sprayed lat" in April and not sprayed
afterward had fully as scabby fruit
as unspraycd trees The third spray
Ing, May % and 2S. gave very good re-
suits. Winesap trees sprayed only
once late in May showed only about 10
per cent of scabby fruit as against 80
per cent for unsprayed trees. and
Maiden Blush only per cent of scab
on sprayed as against Go per cent on
unsprayed trees. The second spray
ing, May and 0. while beneficial in
practically all cases, was not quite so
effective in controlling scab as the
later spraying
The Best Results.
The best results followed two spray
ings. one early and one late in May
This is well shown In ease Of Sweet
June. where an unsprayed tree had IS
per cent OF scab, one sprayed May 8

per cent and another sprayed on both

Injuries to Fruit.
Some of the apples. notably iona

spraying of May % The fruit was
badly rusted on one side In the worst
cases the injury took the form of one
sided development of the fruits.
