The State Of New York took for
ward step last writer when it appro-
priated $4,000 to establish a new
school Of agriculture In st. Lawrence
county. This movement is entirely dis
tinct from the work already being car
ried on at Cornell Institute.
The thought in the mind of the man
who secured the passage Of the bill
providing the sum mentioned for this
purpose Is to establish still other
schools in different parts Of the State
where the young men of New York
may be educated as first class farmers.
That such additional support may be

Spraying Apples in Dry Weather.
During the past few seasons many
apple growers in New York State have
noticed injury to fruit and foliage by
the bordeaux mixture applied to pre-
vent scab. In some cases this has been
so great as to cause mere harm than
the scab, untreated. would have done;
but spraying should not be abandoned
on that ground; for should a bad year
for scab come the loss from the dis
ease would overbalance the spray in
jury of many years.
That such INJURY is a reality, how
ever, is very plainly shown in bulle-
tin of the New York Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station (Geneva). Many of
the most prominent and best apple
growers of the State report such in
jury, notably in 1904 and 1905; horti-
culturists in other States have noted
and studied similar trouble, and in a
test at the station in 1906 marked evil
dences of bordeaux injury We're shown
on practically all the trees treated.
The test proved very clearly that II
is the bordeaux mixture that causes
the injury, not the arsenites used with
it, that weather conditions have much
to do with the development of the rus
setting of the fruit and spotting the
leaves which characterize the trouble,
that an excess of lime Is not pre-
ventive of the injury, and that strong
bordeaux causes greater injury than
weaker mixtures

FINE OUTLOOK FOR FERGUS IN EVERY
INDUSTRY --ShfARING IN PROGRESS
Despite Late Spring Crop Conditions Are Most Satisfactory Through
out The Inland tmpre-Bumper Yield Of Winter Whea Con-
fidently Looked For By Ranchers.
MANY SHEAR|NG PLANTS ARE STARTED THIS WEEK
Sheep Shearers Coming In Large Percentage Lambs
Reported from All Sections Of The County, Warm Weather
And Rains Bring Grass.

One hears much discussion on the
streets and in business houses these
days as to the material outlook for
Fergus county during the present
season. Some appear to think that
because spring has been SO very
backward, the prospects are not as
bright as could be desired
During the past week, the Demo
crat has made careful enquiries
| among visitors from all parts Of the
county and the result of these en-
quiries are certainly OF the most en-
couraging nature
Winter Wheat in Fine Shape.
Enquiries among ranchers have re
vealed most satisfactory state Of
affairs SO far as the wheat crop is
concerned While the acreage of
spring grain has been cut down by
the late spring, the grain that was
sown is coming up in fine shape 1t
yet has time to mature into good
crops.
But it is the condition Of the win
ter wheat which is the greatest source
of satisfaction. Never in the history
Of the county has the winter grain
looked SO promising as it does
right now. Stone, Long and Bach
have several hundred acres on the
bench between here and Cottonwood
which is over knee high and stands
thick upon the ground. 1t has
healthy, dark green color. and grew
at wonderful rate during the past
week. The ground is thoroughly
saturated and with one or two good
rains next month, the winter wheat
crop all over Fergus county will be
of the bumper variety.
Good Price Outlook.
The outlook for good prices for
wheat next fall are now very bright
The price is higher now than it has
been for years but these conditions
do not help the grower much as all
of them have long ago disposed OF
their las. years crop
But reports If big wheat shortages
in several of the great wheat grow,
ing states east of us has caused the
price to go to the sky and it is likely
to remain up there all of this year.
If such is the case, Fergus county

He says that great >rop Of wheat
is going to be harvested on the
bench this year. There are hundreds
Of acres OF as fine wheat as a per-
son ever saw and with anything like
favorable weather for the remaindc
OF the season, the yield will be
simply enormous.
From his ranch, he struck across
the country to Roundup where he
found about one of the lvlest burgs
in the country There are hundreds
Of railroad graders around there and
they with the cowboys and other
laborers, keep the place humming
from one days's break to the other.
It is said that the Milwaukee rail
road campany has recently discovered
three miles below Roundup, the big
gest vein of coal in the state Of Mon
tana and they are now running a
spur out to the location Of the vein.
Louie was informed that $50 men will
be put to work very shortly opening
up this immense body Of coal and if
such IS the case, there will be very
important coal camp down there in
the edge of Fergus county.
Within two weeks, all of the teams
now working between Roundup and
Harlowton will be taken off the
work, the grade being nearly com
pleted. Several miles of steel has
already been laid out from Harlow
ton and they are placing it at the
rate of one mile per day.
