The APPLE LEAF. HOPPER.

During The past few years consid'
cradle damage has been done to Iowa
nursery stock by a tiny greenish in
sect which is found especially plenti
full on apple trees. The insect curls
up the leaves and stunts the growth
of the trees. Owing to the curled
condition of the leaves it has been
found impossible 10 kill the insect by
spraying. The Iowa Experiment Sta
ton conducted a number of expert,
ments last summer in dipping nursery
stock in various mixtures. Some OF
these proved TO be very effective,
Directions for making and applying
them, together with complete des'
crlption of the insect, are given in

Market Notes.

Average price of hogs at Chicago
Tuesday, 1891. against 1928 Monday,
$3.50 week ago, 1871 year ago
and $500 two years ago.
Eleven markets Tuesday received
$4,000 hogs against $4,000 week ago
and 1880 q year ago. Total thus
far this week, $1,000. against $4,000
the previous week and $4,000 a year
ago. Total for 1910 to date, 6,770. 900,
against 9,37S,000 same period 1909.
Tuesday the market was quiet and
steady. The buyers got well loaded
up with the liberal run Monday and
were not hungry. No choice steers
were included in the receipts and very
few that could be classed as medium,
so the market was of little conse-
quence.
Very few stockers and feeders were
received Tuesday, but the local trad
ers had q good many on hand. The
country demand was slim and the
market was very dull. Good feeders
wer escarce, most of the supply con-
sisting of common and medium stock
ers of light weight. --a
With the small receipts-only 10000
| hogs-offered Tuesday, sellers thought
they had chance to even up some
! for the recent declines but they found
! packers stubborn and hard to trade
with. At the start, while the ship.
| pers were in, prices were 5Dl0c high
err and good many hogs sold on that
basis, but later in the day the market
was dull and fiat with sales no better
than steady. Packers will not permit
the market to get any higher if they
can possibly prevent it by buying
sparingly.
James +. Hill, well known stock
| farmer of Abel, Iowa, had five car
loads of fat cattle and car of horses,
on the Chicago market. Il haven't
much faith in the cattle market for
the next sixty days, said Mr.. Hill.
Il cannot help but think there will be
a marked scarcity of corn fed cattle
this summer and good market, but
for the near future I think there will
be more cattle than the demand will
absorb without further reductions in
values.

firm of James Colligan & Sons OF
Manson, Iowa, was ON ahe Chicago

supply OF cattle, sheep and horses in

SIXTH DISTRICT OPINION.

Otumwa Courier: The Register

rolls announcement of his candidacy
for the nomination for governor of the
state of Iowa ignores national issues,
IL is certainly refreshing and very
encouraging to once more have a gov.
ernor OF Iowa who does not, as. gov.
ernor, feel that il is necessary to try
to do anything but be governor OF
Iowa. Up to Carrolrs time, our re-
cent governors were merely using the
governorship of Iowa as a by-product
in their efforts 10 get to Washington.
If there is one thing more than an.
other that should give Governor Car
rolls candidacy strength, ii is the
fact that he is satisfied for the time
being, with simply being governor OF
