ment of the Iowa Golf Association
here August 10, IL, IL. IS and IA, and
almost half OF this number is already
entered" says Secretary Dwight B.
Baker, who is at the present time one
of the busiest cogs in the wheel of
Iowa golf. Already the members Of
the Ottumwa Country Club, on the
links Of which the tournament will be
held, have combined in one large body
and have pledged themselves to do
nothing but play hosts on the days
and nights OF the tournament.
The links Of the club are rapidly
rounding into perfect shape for the
big event. The green's, several OF which
are new, will afford at least one item
to the visitors that all clubs in Iowa
have not. And to correspond with the
excellence OF the playing grounds, the
entertainment committee of the club
are determined to make the social hours
of the meeting equally as excellent.
Luncheon and dinner will be served at
the club house. so as not to incon-
venience the tournament contestants.

DEBORAH.
It the improvement committee repre-
senting the citizens and business men
Of DEBORAH succeed in carrying out the
plans now under way the city will have
inside OF two years or so one Of the
incest driveways Of any city in Iowa.
The distance will be about five miles or
more and the drive will circle around
the entire city. One of the most I'M
portant places Of this drive will be the
new ice cave road which will run along
the hillside north of the city over a
mile In length and varying from 100 to
300 feet above the river. Another new
drive Will be over what is commonly
known as the hogs back, one of the
highest points in the county, connect
ing with the dugway passing on the
way back by the well-known spot,
The Pulpit Rock" Finally a drive
way Is to be started at the foot of
Pleasant avenue crossing the entire
Pleasant h1lb distance of over half
mile. where every spot OF the city can
be seen When these drives are finally
compleked it is the idea to have teams
and machines to drive only in one di-
rectann thereby avoiding any accident
that might occur in meeting. The
surveyors have already completed the
Ice cave road and made plat of same
which rmd0ubtedlyswil be accepted.

WARNING TO FRUIT GROWERS
Crown Gall Is Warty Outgrowth or
Excrescence Upon the Apple,
Peach, Pear and Other Trees.

Crown gall is term applied to GER
tain warty outgrowths or excrescences
upon the apple, pear, peach, rasp-
berry, etc., forming chiefly on the
parts below ground. On the apple
these growths are more apt to occur
on grated trees at the union of the
root and the cion, but they may form
at any place where the roots have
been injured in transplanting, etc.
Experiments by the department of
agriculture show that crown gall is
caused by specific parasite. Every
orchasdist should carefully inspect all
stock which he purchases for setting.
All trees showing evidence of crown
gall should be either returned to the
shipper or burned, and future orders
placed with nurserymen who can and
will furnish trees free from disease.
Under no condition should trees be
planted which show growths of this
kind upon the roots, for not only will
1t result in an unthrifty and unprof1t-
able tree, but 1t will also endanger
other plants.

"Foil-play is pretty, but it is not
sword-play. A man does many things
with a buttoned foil that he would
scarce dare attempt with an ancov-
cred point"
M. Beaupre, ex-off1cer of chasseurs,
sat in the sale d'armes of his friend
Roget Rouleau watching an assault
with foils between two pupils of that
celebrated master.
"Who, for instance" continued M.
Beaupre, would risk making such
complicated movements as counter
parties, doubles and ripostes with the
disengagement, in an actual duel?
Elaborate combinations are well
enough in the sale d'armes where one
risks nothing but touch on pad
ded jacket, but they have no place in
the play of a man who is fighting for
his life"
There is truth in what you say.

do you not think that knowledge of
this nature serves to develop to the
highest degree that fencer's judgment
which is of the greatest Importance to
a man who engages in actual, instead
of mimic, combat"
Undoubtedly, my friend, the train
ing of which you speak is excellent
so far as it goes, but it is not varied
enough. The fencer Is usually taught
to defend himself with but one type
of weapon and in certain rigidly pre-
scribed manner; thoroughly com

able to fight with all weapons and tc
withstand attacks, no matter how If
regular they may be. What chance

pupils would have If called upon tt

while l was serving with my regi-
ment in Algeria, we were stationed at
Wargla, dreary post lying on the
outskirts of the great desert, where
there was little to do except eat and
sleep. We had been there for some
months without anything occurring to
break the monOtony of our existence,
when to our great delight, we were
one day ordered upon active service.
Reports had reached headquarters
that a certain Mohammed ell Hadid
had declared himself to be a prophet
and was melting the desert tribes to
join him in holy war We were or
dered to take the field at once. find
the reputed prophet, and stamp out
the rebellion before it had a chance
to spread further-orders which Won
may well believe afforded us the
keenest pleasure.
After five days march through
the desert we discovered Mohammed
encamped at Hasa Insokki, on the
Moussa river. We found however
that the prophet with a military skill
for which we had not given him credit
was strongly entrenched among the
foothills with which the country at
that point abounded, and it was at
once evident that dislodging him
would be task of considerable diff

we accordingly encamped in front
OF his lines, and, having thrown up
hasty entertainments and established
suitable outposts to guard against sur.

Inspection Of Nursery Stock.

Representative Scott of Kansas is
the author OF bill which provides
for government inspection of nursery
stock at point Of entry to be desig-
mated by the secretary OF agriculture.
An appropriation OF 100000 is car
ried by the bill, which also authorizes
the secretary to establish quaran-
tine against the importation or trans
portation in interstate commerce OF
diseased or infected nursery stock.
The bill has been favorably acted upon

eight-foot posts set two and one-half
feet in the ground at intervals Of
twenty to thirty feet. These generally
carry two lines of No. 10 galvanized
wire, respectively four and five and
one-half feet from the ground. The
end posts should be strong and well
braced, and the wire should be so ar.
ranged that the slack can be taken up
when necessary. The other posts need
not be very large II twenty feet apart,
but for thirty feet good-sized posts are
desirable.
The horizontal trellis differs in hav.
ing a 2x6-inch strip placed on edge
horizontally at the top of the post, so
as to form an arm two feet long, upon
which three wires are carried
The previous years three shoots
were grown on each vine. For the
two-wire (verticaD trellis two of them
should be placed on the lower wire
and cut back to ten buds each. The
other shoot should be cut off at the
height of the upper wire, and shoot
from it should be trained in each d.
rection. For the three-wire (horizon.
taD trellis, shoot should be trained
upon each of the wires, two in one
direction and one in the other and all
should be cut back to eight buds.
The simplest and most satisfactory
method of training the grape is by the
Kniffin system. The fruiting arms are
tied to the wires in the spring and the
new shoots as they come out are al
lowed to hang down.
To grow the best fruit, whatever
system is used, the vines should be
frequently cut back and renewed.
Some prefer to renew all the canes
each year, starting all of them from
the main trunk of the vine, while
others renew but once in two years.
Whatever the method OF pruning or
training, one should endeavor to leave
about 40 buds upon each vine, and
these could be as near the main trunk
as possible.
