No Deposit Required-An import
ant ruling has been made by Acting
Commissioner Robert Williams of the
internal revenue department. at Wash
ington in regard. to. the securing OF
copies of liquor licenses issued to res
idents of North Dakota counties by
the collector at Aberdeen. The act
ing commissioner holds that it will
be sufficient if, written request for
such copies having been filed, the
fees are paid after the copy has been
made and the amount due accurately
determined and before the delivery
of the copy or copies. The collector
had held that it would be necessary
for the states attorneys to deposit
500 with the department. at Aber-
deem before the copies of the licenses
can be secured. AS a result of the
decision the states attorney will be
enabled to secure copies Of the list of
Liquor dealers at an early. date and
the law in regard to the illegal sale
Of the liquor can be more rigidly en-
forced. b

= Poe$pones Campaign -. That the

American Society Of Equity to secure

in the Fargo Forum. The associa-

demand for their wheat but the
market In. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago has alreany passed the dollar
mark ana bids fair to climb higher
so that the farmers will secure their
price, and perhaps: considerably more,
without any effort on their part.
'The clements have come to our
aid, this year" said Mr.. Hoes, "and
It will not be necessary for the farm
ers to band together and hold their
wheat, but the struggle will come
next year. The high price of wheat
this season will induce many farmers
to plantSan unusual quantity of the
grain next season and the result will
be an immense crop. 1t will be then
that the strength of the farmers or.
gantzation is-tested. ~
''This year we have COTTON practi-
cally all we wanted~without asking
for it. Every farm product is now
selling above the price which the So
ciety fixed. Potatoes land oats are
both considerably above the price
and if the recent pure food legisla-
tion which requires that barley must
be used in the making of all beer has
raised the price Of that grain so that
is now above our price.
"The society does not seek to make
the price Of farm products unusually
high. Its only object is to make it
high enough so the farmers will re-
ceive unreasonable profit. OF course,
there are some members of the soci-

COMMERCIAL APPLES.

Deterioration Of Fruit and Many
Worthless Orchards.
II is no longer a question. but fact
apparent to most of our apple growers.
that we have practically lost the Wine
zap and Missouri Pippin as commercial
apples, is the opinion expressed by
Philip Lux before the Kansas State
Horticultural society. Mr.. Lux said:
For example, / have forty Winesaps
from fifteen to eighteen years old, and
with one exception they are worthless.
They are shy bearers, and the fruit is
too small for market. These trees are
growing on ideal orchard ground.
also have about forty Missouri Pippins.
Twenty of them. which are eighteen
years old, bear only diseased apples
unfit for market, and twenty, which
are fifteen years old. bear fairly sound
apples, which are, however, too small
for mercantile purposes.
Ben Davis and Some Others.
Our Ben Davis and some others are
following the same road very rapidly
These conditions are common in our
county. and many orchards are in part
or entirely worthless. A solution must
be found and put into practice at once
IL we desire TO preserve our apple
trees in their most useful and valuable
condition.
Spores and Fungicides.
From time to time excellent papers
on spores and fungicides have been
read before this society by our State
Agricultural college experts. These
papers were compiled with thought and
practical study and have been a great
help to our horticulturists. But, while
the study of the diseases and the de-
vising OF methods for combating them
are Of great Importance. nevertheless If
we do not have trees which produce
good apples and produce them plenti-
fully the successful dealing with the
disease would still leave us with in
