towns were russeted considerably and
the Winesaps only slightly, while tbs
York Imperials showed practically no

The lime-sulphur preparations
caused no russeting, or at most very
little where the strongest solutions
were used. and the fruit sprayed with
these mixtures was smooth, clean and
we'll colored. The difference in color
between the fruit sprayed with the
Bordeaux and that sprayed with the
several lime-sulphur preparations was
very striking, and this feature alone
would make the latter sprays prefer

equal.
A lime-sulphur solution containing,
when diluted, about four pounds Of
sulphur to so gallons of water appears
at present to be the most promising
preparation. This may be obtained by
using the commercial solution at the
rate of 1h gallons of water, or by
preparing the lime-sulphur solution at
home and diluting it so that each so

Factors in crop Production.

Discussing current advice to farm
ers, during the course of an address
in Chicago recently, Prof. Cyril G.
Hopkins said:
There are six essential factors in
crop production; seed, oil, heat, light,
moisture and plant food. The first
five are supplied in abundance, but
the last is ignored, misunderstood, or
neglected. OF the ten elements nee
essary for plant food, phosphorus is
found in such limited quantities in
normal soil that crops are limited.
yet we permit the annual exporta-
ton of more than twice the quantity
required for the total wheat crop;
and for every five dollars of foreign
money paid for phosphates this mate
rial would be worth at least $1,000 to
our own children"

PRUNE TREES

Severe Annual "SIashing', So
Commonly Practiced BY I'm
skilled Persons Should
Not Be Tolerated.

The severe annual "slashing" so
commonly practised by unskilled per-
sons on many of our city street trees
should not be tolerated by the au-
thorities.,
Evergreens should never be trimmed
in the fall, and the older wood should
not be cut.
Vigorous growing vines, like the
Virginia creeper, may have practically
all the secondary growth cut away
during the dormant season, as this
dies of itself sooner or later thus
forming lodging for dust, insects and
sparrow nests.

NORTH DAKOTA GAME Avs
Chicken Hunting Season Opens on Wednesday,
September 7th-PIenty of Game

because of the abundance of the
prairie chicken crop this year, I4shaye
heard that there are many 'sooners'
casting longing eyes toward the fields
these days." said a we'll known sports
man one day this week.
"The real sports instead of shooting
before the season, himself, should do
what he can to bring this class of
shooters to justice. He owes it to him
self and to the state to assist in enforcing
the game laws"
The following is a digest of the North
Dakota game laws:
All birds and animals are protected in
much the same manne as by previous
laws: Traps and mechanical devices are
prohibited and sunrise and sunset de-
termined by calender. Decoys may be
used for shooting water fowl.
Hunters shall not hunt in standing
grain or among shocks of punched fax,
Possession of game during the closed
season will be prima facie evidence that
the same was killed out of season.
Prairie chickens, grouse, woodcock,
ETC., may be hunted from Sept. 7 to
Nov. l, inclusive. This is a week later
than the old law.
The open season for ducks, geese, etc.,
extends from Sept,7 to Dec. II, inclusive.
All spring shooting is prohibited as to
both classes of game birds.
Local licences may be obtained from
the county auditor for one dollar.
Twenty prairie chickens, turtle doves,
cranes, swans or grouse may be shipped
from the state, or a combination of
twenty birds. Fifty snipe, wild duck,
plover or brant and a combination of
fifty birds.
Any person caught with dogs or guns
off a public highway from July l to
Septic, will be presumed to be breaking
the law subject to prosecution.
The bag is limited to ten prairie
chickens, twenty-five wild ducks, or
geese or combination of these and kin
dred birds.
The season is closed for antelope,
bear, otter, elk, and moose. The season
for deer is from November 10 to 80,
inclusive, and only two antlered male
and antlered animals may be killed by
any one person. Possession of more
than two such animals is a misdemeanor.

FIVE SPLENDID ATTRACTIONS.
Including Musical Comedy at the Opera House
During the Winter Season.

During the week arrangements have
been completed whereby the five COM
panies comprising the Walker Lyceum
Course are to be seen here during the
coming season under the auspices of the
LangdonWoman's Club and to be staged
IN the Opera House of our city.
Great care has been taken in the selec-
ton of these attractions and it requires
but a glance at the list to prove that we
are going to get some thing far above
the ordinary. The five companies
chosen by the clubs committee include
Shakespeare's ideal comedy, Twelfth
Night" presented by a large company,
including William Yule and Violet Eddy;
the sparkling musical comedy "Manag-
ing Mildred" in which the popular Eng
lish Opera Singers are featured; the
eminent baritone, Robert Meikle, as
sisted by Frank Lloyd, comedian and
acapable company;the"LyceumPlay Players
with Slgnor Romanilli, the italian harp
list; and the amusement novelty of the
season, "The Merry Musicians" a fun
making troup of Pierrots.
These companies will appear here at
interval during the season and come
under a guarantee of giving entire
satisfaction at each and everyone of the
entertainments. The clubs committee
state that course tickets covering the
five attraction can be secured at a price
considerably reduced over the tickets
that will be sold for the single perform
ances.

The Standard Oil company asks to
have its assessment raised in Chicago to
the tune of $4,000. What next? And
only a year ago it was the Chicago Tele-
phone company that asked to be raised
100000. This is hard to reconcile
with the supposed desire of all corporate
bodies to dodge taxation, but perhaps,
in the case of the telephone company, it
is merely a preliminary move to another
issue of watered stock.
