WITH LIGHT CROPS ELSEWHERE
WESTERN MONTANA'S CHANGES
DEPEND ON PROPER THINNING

(By M. l.. Dean. State Horticulturist1
The conditions of the fruit crop in
the United States is changing consid-
erably from month tn month
Generally apples have dropped heav.

prospect liz for much smaller crop

A portion of this drop is due to the
fact that, In some sections the bloom

According to a German biologist
man made Il mistake when, centuries
ago, he changed himself from a quad
ruped to biped, the contention being
that many present day ills are due to
carrying the spine In an upright po-
sition when 1t was intended to be
carried horizontally.

second reason Will be lack OF prop
er thinning Of the fruit This should
be begun at once.
IN most orchards the season has
favored the owner with bountifu
setting OF fruit and ii In now neces.
sary for him to do his part To pre-
vent the fruit being small and the
trees over loaded and weakened so
that he cannot expect crop next
year.
Thinning In practical II Is econom.
ical but of all orchard operations 1t
Is the most neglected. True, help IN
sometimes scarce at the proper time,
but help can do the work that can
not perform profitably in the Lay
field
Three Factors.
There are three main factors to be
considered In the work of thinning
fruit ON the one hand Is the expense,
on the other the profit and the effect
on the trees.
The actual expense must be regarded
as small, The fruit must be picked,
anyway. and no more motions are re.
quircd or time consumed In clipping
off the small fruit than In picking nj
harvest time
Wages mt thinning time are less than
at the time of picking, and the work
Of harvesting is 80 facilitated by prop.
or thinning that the expense of the
work IL hardly worth considering.
AZ to the matter of profits there can
he no question This viii be clearly
demonstrated this season. Tie man

The fruit In 50 much improved In
size and general appearance and quail
ity. so increased by the removal pf
imperfect specimens, that the selling
value Is greatly increased In one OF
the cooperative packing houses OF
western Michigan II few years ago u
was found that the increasing Of the
diameter of fruit one quarter of an
inch added over 30 per cent to the
selling price of the fruit Properly
thinning over LOADED trees will In :
crease the number OF boxes of apples
Trees carrying only the number of
fruits that II can mature to maxi
. mum size will turn off more boxes
than one that Is 50 over-lQnded that
the fruit is all understood.
The drain on the vitality of the tree
is no small consideration.
The reproductive process Is an en-
haustive one. and TIN production OF
seed Is much more exhaustive and n
greater draft upon the vitality of the
tree than Is that of the pulp The
time when thinning should be done Is
of much importance.
Generally speaking, the earlier Il Is
done after the dropping stops the bet
ter.

For the first half hour Of their
match Cutler worried Hackenschmidt
with slillful offensive tactics, but the
Russians strength proved too great
and Cutler was forced to assume the
defensive. While on the defensive
Cutler secured several headlocks on
Hackenschmidt and used these punish
ing holds to stave off defeat.
In the second fall Cutler quickly fell
into toe lock and was downed in 10
minutes and 20 seconds.
He was on the defensive while
Hackenschmidt tried for the second
fall, and only succeeded in getting
one dangerous hold on his opponent

EnIarsina the Depot.

Enlarging the Depot.
What in their best business judg-

built at once, is an addition to the
present union depot building located
between Johnson and Exchange
streets on Water street The Union
Depot company owns the area be-
tween those two points and ample
space is at command for the needed
enlargement OF the present depot
building
A general discussion of the matter
of adding Improvements, and keeping
abreast Of the advancement of the
water power age was the pith and
core of the conclave discussions of
railroad officials in the city today.
Realizing as they do that present
quarters will quickly become too
small to accommodate the patrons of
the railroad companies at this point,
the board Of directors and represent
atives of the railway lines running in
to the city, intend by all means to

ward the increase in size of the depot
compartments that the union railroad
companies here will revive the
proposition of increasing which has
been a much mooted one in the sew

Mr.. Barackman is one of the pas
tors the church has had under con-

came after careful de1iberation. A
committee from the local church was
sent to Blackjack to hear Mr.. Bar

Charles Fiers, John Bailey and Geo.
Hartry, were very much impressed
with Mr.. Barackman's preaching.
The unanimous call will be for
