oughly Discussed.

At the meeting of the municipal Of
| ficers, county officials and contractors

clared the three-mile gravel road un-
constitutional, it was decided to ap-
point committee to go to Indianapo-
lis next Sunday as delegates to a gen
eral meeting of contractors and learn
what they propose to do to make pos
sible the validating of the bond issues
and the continuance of the work on the
roads
Auditor Johnston was present and
stated that he had received word from
the Indianapolis bonding houses not
TO issue any more bonds until some
thing Is done to settle the question of
the validity of the bonds already is
sued.
Thirty-One Roads Affected.
Mr.. Johnston stated that there are
thirty-one roads in Lake county which
are affected by the decision and that
there is approximately s359,16e in
bonds outstanding.
He said that part of this amount
has been paid in and that he could not
determine without considerable inves-
tigation just what part of the issue is
still out.
Auditor Johnston then spoke of the
notice that he had received from the
contractors for Cass county calling a
meeting at the Dennison hotel. Indian
apolis, for next Sunday. He said the

ing this afternoon and Homer ]. Carr

tending Broadway, in Gary. to the
southern limits of the city, suggested
that bond be signed by the business
men Of the region guaranteeing the
bonds that had been issued for road
improvements so that the work can go
without delay.
John F. Sears Of Gary suggested that
a legad committee be appointed to look
into the legal phase of the matter. May
or Thomas f. Knots of Gary sug-
gested that he did not see any relief
except In a decision of the supreme
court reversing itself, or In a special
session of the Legislature
Chairman Lawrence Becker said that
If petition for rehearing of the case
is overruled by the supreme court that
would settle the matter. A special ses-
sion would then be necessary in order
to validate the bonds and give the cit
les relief. He said that this would take
months OF valuable time
Bonds o. *, Says Brown.
John Brown of Crown Point. presi-

that in his opinion the bonds were all
right. He had. in fact. the opinion Of
the lawyers OF a well-known Indianap-

support him in his conention

IS no hope of special session He
stated that he had been informed that

Horticulture Notes.

Reserve for family use all the fruit
needed; it adds to the health and
comfort of all.
Contrary to expectation, the peach
trees are loaded with fruit; thel efore
thinning is in order to secure fine
specimens.
The unusual growth of trees due to
so much wet weather causes blight
when hot weather comes on and
should be looked after
A new idea has been put forth by
an eastern fruit grower, which is that
mulching is far better than cultiva-
ton by stirring the soil, for all fruits
An acre planted in apple trees of
good kinds will pay far better than
will an acre in corn. after they begin
bearing and will increase in value
yearly.
good cover crop for the orchard
in the fall can be had by disking in
buckwheat. This will add fertility

some pasturage for hogs.

The way to kill the apple worm is
to spray with arsenate of lead. paris

Woodpeckers and nutkatches de-

The moths begin to lay their eggs
at once. The egg upon a leaf or fruit
looks like a small white blister about
the size of a pin head. They hatch
in about five to 10 days. AS soon as
the young worm crawls from the egg
it begins to feed upon the foliage or
the youns apples. Upon reaching the
nearest apples about three-fourths Of
the worms enter them at the blossom
end. The rest of the worms enter the
fruit through the side. The worms
often hollow out the seeds, their work

excreta thrown out at the clayX, show

The codling moth will get your ap.

greatest enemy of the apple and must
be fought constantly to prevent it's

cause it flies at night and during the
day remains motionless or hides un-
der the bark almost invisible.
Its front wings have the appearance
