other a call will be made
between now and the middle OF the
month for 5000, 900 of general fund
warrants, which call will practically
wipe out the warrants issued for legis-
lative expenses. The collections on
the March call of state taxes were
better than the average, Al per cent
of the total state taxes extended Tor
the year coming in or that call, which
shows that the people of the state
are paying their taxes early this year.
The state treasury has been doing a
good volume of business for The month
of March, the total receipts exceed
ing 81, ESQ, 900, of which $791,32S was
paid into the various funds through
sax collections and fees. The pay

V.onth were $496,050 of general fund
warrants, S250,000 of old evenue
warrants called in, and $4,000 Of in

A year ago the quarter of a million
issue of revenue warrants were taken
to Chicago and sold on the market
at a five per cent interest rate. The
year by sending out letters asking for
bids, twice the amount was floated
in state banks at one and one-fourth
per cent lower rate.

POTATOES
FOR BLIGHT AND BUGS
Bordeaux Mixture for the Former and Poison for the Latter
BY e. p. Sandsten, HorticuIturalist, Wis
eonsin Agricultural College,

This experiment station has con-
Quoted spraying trials for the last five
years in the leading potato growing
counties in the state to determine,
first, whether early potato blight CAL
ternaria Solani) can be controlled by
the application of Bordeaux mixture,
and, secondly, to determine whether
spraying should be recommended to
the potato grower as a profitable in
vestment and insurance against
blight.
The term early blight" is mislead.
ing, due to the fact that the disease
does not usually do serious damage
until after August Is. 1t must also
be noted that the early blight upon
potatoes does not rot the tubers. This
injury is generally caused by some
other organism. The early blight
found is confined entirely to the vines
and reduces the yield by causing an
excessive percentage of culls and
small potatoes at harvest. The last
three weeks growth Of the vine is
| the important time in the formation
Of tubers. BY infesting the vines at
this time, the disease shortens the
growing period about two weeks,
causing the large percentage Of small
potatoes.
If these affected leaves are ex.
amined with a high power magnify.
ing glass it will be discovered that
the tissues or cells of the leaf are
permeated with little threads or
| strands of the fungus, which act like
roots in absorbing the food supply of
the leaf. If the leaf is thoroughly
torn apart, very often at the ends of
| the little short threads will be found
minute club-shaped bodies called
spores, which serve a similar purpose
as do the seeds to the higher plants,
(See Fig. p This little fungus plant
grows and develops similar to the
way of the potato on which it feeds.

More Power for Stamp Mills.
The company already has a 500
horsepower electric plant at Engle'
wood, which will be continued in OPP
Grafton in addition to the new one
which is built, chilly for the mills
and shops in Lead. The mills are
now dropping LOO stamps daily
which require two and one-half horse
power to the stamp. The mines are
now furnished power by the 1,00C
horsepower compressor at the Ellison
together with the compressor at the
Golden Prospect and the B. & NJ.
The whole work will be in direct
charge of Richard Blackstone, the
chief engineer, under the supervision
of Supt. T. ]. Grier.

CROP OF RAILWAY RUMORS
Usual Spring Talk Is Heard in Railway Centers
Likely to Wait on Anti-Railway Legislation.

G. Northwestern, which proposes 10
build from WhitewoOd to the Belle
Fourche irrigation country northeast
of Whitewood, and is incorporated by
Whitewood business men.
The promoters Of the Veblen q
Northwestern line have amended their
articles of incorporation. The hrst
proposed line was from Neblen TO
Hankinson, on the Great Northern
road in North Dakota, but the amend
ment to change the line to
| run from Veblen to a point on the
Milwaukee near White Rock.
The people along the line between
Huron ard Chamberlain are DESTROYS
of securing the construction of an eX-
tension of the Great Northern from
Huron to the river town. A delegation
of business men from the two towns,
and from points between visited j. j.
Hill in st. Paul, but did not receive
much encouragement. He agreed to
consider their project when the Great
Northern again does any building in
the state. but said he wanted 20 know
how much further anti-railway legis-
lation is going to be carried in the
state before he would take any action
on South Dakota lines.
The people of Buffalo and southern
Hand and Hyde counties are at work
attempting to secure pledges from
land owners in that part of the state
to pay a certain cash bonus for an

ton Springs extension to Pierre. 1t is
entirely a farmer move, and whether
the railroad would consider any propo-
sition from them is a question.
Another farmer proposition is a line
from Sioux City to Centerville. Such
a line would be through the Oldest
settled portion of the state, and is be-
ing pushed by farmers of Clay and
Union counties. 1t would give Sioux
City better connection with the south.
eastern part of the state and cut off
a good many miles in getting to that
city. At a recent meeting at Alsen, it
was stated by some of the boosters
of the project hat the capital was
ready to be put into 1t as soon as a
right Of way was secured.
The South Dakota Central is report
ed to be disposing of it's grading out
fits. and evidently intends to let up on
construction for a time at least. That
line is considering the putting on of a
gasoline motor car to run in and out
of Watertown, to stop at cross road
points and allow farmers to get into
the city to do business. The car to
run into Watertown each morning
from as far south as Wentworth and
back in the afternoon. !.
Work is to be resumed at once on
the trolley line from Bookings to
Sioux Falls, down the Sioux val
ley. A. H.. Wheaton, now that he is
no longer food commissioner, is said
to be at the head of the project, and
will devote his attention to the work.

"MorHERs' DAY" PROCLAIMED.
Governor Of South Dakota Fixes Date
for State Observance.

In a proclamation which has been
issued by the governor he fixes a date
for Mothers day." in the state, as
follows:
Recognizing the Importance Of the
home as the fountainhead of society,
and realizing that no craftsmanship or
legislation can save us If our homes
become abodes Of ignorance and
degradation, /, r. S. Wesley, governor
of the state of South Dakota, hereby
set apart and designate the second
Sabbath in our National memorial
month Of May, as Mothers Day. in
grateful and loving remembrance of
the n who, in u infancy, watched
over us with tenderest care, in our
youth gently guided us to higher
ideals, the counsel Of our maturer
years.
"The fitness Of the observance OF
this day appeals to all social, fra
ternal, civil, military and religious or.
CARNATIONS alike; to him who has
missed life's browning Joy, the tender
ministrations of a mothers love, no
less than to the one who has derived
the elements of a noble character
from the maternal care bestowed in
childhood. Probably never before was
a movement inaugurated which in
such a short time attained national
recognition.
Official, professional and business
classes are all asked to join in the
observance Of this day, and | further
recommend that the churches observe
the day by special addresses in honor
of Our Mothers and by the wearing
and distribution of the white flower
~symbolizing purity, beauty and frag'
rance-the attributes of a true moth.

made to enable the aged and shut.

TRIP ORGANIZATION.
Settlers Petition to Have II Develop
ed-Are Too Late.

Settlers Petition to Have II Develop
ed-Are Too Late.
After the required legal petitions
had been filed with Gov. Wesley, and
he had, under the provisions Of the
law in such cases, fixed the date OF
election for organization of Trip
county at June first, he received a tele-
gram from a "Homesteaders ~associa-
ton" at Dallas, asking that action be
delayed until November first, to give
them time to acquire legal residence
and take a part in the organization.
Their request came too late for con
sideration, as the proclamation fixing
the date had already been sent out,
but even if it had come earlier it
could not have had much effect, as
the law provides that action be taken
when a sufficient petition has been
filed, and two different petitioners,
either with the required number of
names, had been filed asking for &C
tion on organization, and the procla-
nation followed, as required by law.
While this may shut some of the new
settlers out of an opportunity to Sc
cure offices, it is one of the unavoid-
able results of the law as it now
stands.

living dormant upon the vines for
some time. II has been observed re-
peatedly that those growers who are
successful in spraying are men who
have taken the pains to study into
the simple facts just mentioned upon
the development of this disease. The
principle involved then In successful
potato spraying Is as follows:
During the rapid development Of
the disease, the mass of thread-like
mycelium is growing very rapidly in
and upon the leaf. The minute spore-
like bodies (see Fig. q are being pro-
duced on the surface of the black
spots already noted. These spores,
when they light on the leaf, terminate
and grow, causing another black spot
where the cells of the leaf are de-
stroyed. During favorable weather
conditions, and very often when the
vines are weakened by injury, this
multiplication of the fungus progress
es at an ~inconceivably rapid rate, and
Is wholly imperceptible to the naked
eye. When the Bordeaux mixture, or
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-04-22

upon late potatoes usually comes be-
tween the dates of August Is and
September 20. Therefore, it is /eces-
sary to guard against the claims Of
some men that special dust machines,
which are adaptable to applying poi
sons, may also be used in combina-
ton with dust sprays for the blight.
However, the same machine some
times can be used for both purposes.
The station has had excellent results
from combining the arsenates used
against the beetles with a weak Bor-
deaux mixture. When this combina-
ton is put on early in the season, care
should be taken to keep the pressure
down so that the material is no
wasted. The weak Bordeaux mixture
used prevents any injuries which
might result from some mistake In
mixing the arsenic compounds. In
midsummer the Bordeaux mixture
would also have some fungicidal value.
The station has applied with success
the different p~oisons in combination
with lime water, which also prevents
injuries from free acid in the poison.
1t must be remembered that to sue
cessfuly control the beetles, the poi.
son must be applied Immediately or
soon after the eggs hatch. For this
reason, when potatoes are raised on a
large scale, it is necessary to have
machinery which covers a wide area
in a days time. Weak Bordeaux mix
ture is made by combining four
pounds of copper sulphate with eight
pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water
containing the poison. This weak
Bordeaux mixture should be made in
the same manner as the standard Bor-
deaux mixture.

GIGANTIC POWER PLANT
FOR HOMESTAKE MINES
Million Dollar Project Is Launched in Black Hills
Five Miles of Conduit to Be Constructed.

The Homestead Mining company,
the mainstay of the northern Black
Hills, has just commenced another
mammoth undertaking that will in
volve the expenditure of over 1,000,-
900, and will require at least a year
and a half under propitious circum-
stances to complete.
The new undertaking, on which the
actual constructive work will start in
thirty days If the weather proves sea-
sonable, Is the building of an electric
power plant on Spearfish Creek, at a
point about seven miles from Lead.
This plant will have a maximum ca
pacity of 1000 horsepower, which is
to be utilized in the big mills of the
company in that city, in the mines
and at any other point where it may
be needed. The company estimates
that it will require the services OF
200 men in carrying out this project.
Immense Conduit Projected.
This is the second largest undertake
ing that the company has had from a
single piece standpoint, and its details
are just made public. One of the prin-
cipal parts will be the building of an
intake some five miles below the plant,
connected by a conduit, the result be-
ing to leave the creek bed dry for that
distance. For several months past the
legal department of the company has
been engaged in securing the rights
and necessary steps in the project,
while men have been stationed all
winter on the creek, securing data as
to the flow and movements of the
stream, temperature, etc.
The conduit will consist of eight
tunnels varying from 1000 to 1000
feet in length. In their construction
five horsepower electric drills will be
used, the drills to be operated in two
