A complaint will be made, says
Prosecutor Foster, against William
Hicks, who is running a saloon at
10 Washington avenue north for
his brothers who are serving SEN
tence in the Shiawassee county jail
for violating the liquor laws at
Perry. Hicks Is charged with being
in the saloon after the closing hours
Saturday night.
According to the story Hicks told
Chief of Police Behrendt, his wife
and sister came from Grand Rapids,
Saturday afternoon His wife left
her grips in the place OF business on
Washington avenue north, and he
was to have brought them home
when he came at night. After the
closing hour Saturday night, Hicks
went out for lunch and then home,
but forgot to take the grips.
Hicks and his wife and sister re-
turned for the grips and went in
side the saloon. He showed them
around and they visited a few mo-
ments. There was no one else. in the
plstCt DtoIutS IutluStlftS, Nt-
clares, and he had turned up the
light SO that they could see to get
about. A policeman, seeing Hicks
in the place and. not being able to get
the door open reported the matter to
Captain Shattuck and that officer got
up the porter of the saloon, who had
key to the place and the two en-
tered.
The matter was then reported to
the chief of police, who consulted
the prosecutor and the president OF
the police and fire board. While it
is not thought by the chief or Pres
ident Smith that Hicks had any in
tent to sell liquor at that time of
night, it was unlawful for him to be
in the saloon after closing hours and
the prosecutor thinks complaint
should be lodged against Hicks

THE CROP OUTLOOK.

Declaring that there are few, II
any, clouds on the financial horizon
and that the spirit of optimism is ex-
tending rapidly into commercial and
industrial fields, Banker Henry Clews
says that of all the elements n the
business situation, the crop outlook
is perhaps the least satisfactory, the
reduced acreage condition of winter
wheat and oats being in the main
responsible 1T is premature, how
ever, to take pessimistic attitude
regarding wheat, Snce much of the
loss in winter wheat can be made up
by the increased acreage of spring
wheat and favorable weather condi-
tons during the balance of the sea-
son." says Mr.. Clews. much of the
acreage lost to wheat will be plant
ed in corn, which for the last few
years has been a very profitable
crop The outlook now is for a big
corn crop, and this would practically
Offset any loss in wheat. Corn not
freight to the railroads, but is our
most important and staple of crops.
Should the country be favored with
another big crop of corn, which the
prospective general increase in acre
age suggests. we may feel reasonably
sure of another year of agricultural
prosperity, the Importance Of which
can hardly be overestimated. AS has
been repeatedly maintained in these
advices, this country is crying in
need of big crops, not only for the
purpose of bringing down the cost IF
living, but also of rebuilding our rap
idly declining export trade"

Saving the Ample CrOD.

! especially in the southern portion of
Michigan, was almost a complete
failure. Many persons ascribed the
loss of the crop to frost while by
others it was thought that the cold
rains at the blossoming period wash
ed off the pollen, or perhaps kept the
bees from working. That this was
not the real reason why the orchards
failed to produce in the years men
toned can be seen from the fact
that where orchards had been thor.
oughly sprayed a full crop was pro-
duced, provided the trees blossomed.
A careful examination of the bios
SONS in the years mentioned, and IN
other seasons when the crop has
been lost, showed the flower stalks
and the calyx of the fruit to be COW
cred with a greenish mold or mildew
This was the apple scab fungus, a
disease which later on attacks the
leaves and the growing fruit and Of
ten does great harm. Although the
injury Is not as we'll understood,
this fungus often causes even great
err losses when the weather is cold
and wet at the time the trees bios
som as this condition is favorable for
the development of this disease AS
a result of the attack, the flower
stalks shrivel and the crop may De
entirely destroyed. Generally, how
ever, some of the flowers escape
complete destruction but if the ca
lyx is much injured, the fruit may
drop after it has set and the ground
may be covered with small apples
with numerous fungous spots upon
them. This is often spoken of as
the June drop"
Like all fungous diseases, the ap-
piles scab can be controlled by use
of bordeaux mixture. Thtis is COM
posed Of three or four pounds Of
copper sulphate and four or five
pounds of stone lime in so gallons
of water. After shaking the lime
and dssolving the copper sulphate
by placing it in a coarse bag and
suspending it in ten gallons of wat
er so that it will be just below the
surface, the copper sulphate solution
is placed in the spraying barrel and
diluted to % or 80 gallons. The
lime should also be diluted and
strained into the barrel which should
then be filled with water.
The best results are obtained
when the application is made just
before the blossoms have opened but
after they have developed so that
the individual flowers can be seen.
The spraying should be so thorough
as to give them a complete coating
and, at the same time cover the
opening leaves. To do this, the trees
should be sprayed from at least two
sides and the pump should be one
which will give high pressure so as
to produce mist-like spray.
BY the addition of two pounds of
arsenate of lead, or six ounces Of
Paris green, it will be possible to al
so control the plum curculic and 9TH
er chewing insects which feed upon |
the leaves and blossoms at this time |
If Michigan orchards could be |
sprayed as directed above and the APP
plication repeated within a week af- |
ter the fruit has set and once or |
twice afterwards at intervals of two |
weeks the value of the apple crop of |
the state would be increased tenfold. |

WARREN BELT TO
COACH S. A. A. G.

Warren Belt, who was one of the
star players on the strong Whitman
basketball team last season, will
coach the S. A. A. c. team this year.
Cisco B%ullivant, physical director of
the athletic club, has secured the SER
vices of the sta player to coach the
five and to play one of the positions on
the Spokane team.
Captain McFee of the Club five
will assist in the coaching. and will
help round out the representative team
that will wear the club colors in the
games his winter n next spring.
Regular practice for the candidates
at the club will be started soon, as the
squad is large and it Will take a great
deal of time to weed it out and Sc
lect the men for the regulars. From
the present outlook there will be two
teams at the athletic club that will be
strong, as the number of candidates
Will warrant it.
Early practice games will be ar
ranged with the Spokane teams to help
get into, condition for the schedule,
and later in the season regular on
tests will be played with the lical fives
to try and decide the local champion
hin. Whitman will probably be asked
for a game.

Pittsburg n Detroit teams and the
large attendance was the main topics
in sporting circles. In the first game
of the series the official attendance
was 29,24S, with 500 free admissions.
AT least 20, 000 persons were denied
adlnittance to the park. In fact, many
slept outside the park all night in
hopes of gaining the cream of seats.
In the second contest the turnstiles
at the gates showed that 3O,915 per-
sons passed into the grounds. De-
