der control of the association and
one by the government. One was
caused by carelessness of campers,
two by parties clearing land, one by
spark from Great Northern locomo-
tive, and two by burning old ties
along the Great Northern right-of-
way.
The membership Of the association
now numbers 85,representing 1884,
42S acres, a showing that almost
assures the success of the organiza-
ton. From the fact that the sea-
son was we'll advanced before the
organization was perfected and 9TH
er circumstances that made It almost
impossible to solicit membership, the
acreage represented demonstrates
that the public generally favor the
protection of forests from fires. Their
are approximately $4,000 acres
within the cooperative district
whose owners are not cooperating.
but it is thought that with proper
solicitation this can all be brought
into the association.
In order to defray expenses dur
ing the, fire season of 1911 an as
sessment Of one-half cent per acre
was levied against the members on
194.428 acres, which amounted to
$972.17. OF this amount $950.68
has been paid, leaving a balance of
$21.49 due on the assessment levied
for 1911.
The total expense in connection
with the association work for the
year, after allowing all bills and
making settlement with the govern
ment in accordance with the coop
erative agreement, aggregates $S7S.-
"a, or approximately one-1alf cent
per acre. The expense was charged
to the following accounts:
General expense, $518.72.
Fire cost, $2327.
Patrolmen, $317.35.
Tools, $3.50.
Total, $S78.94.
The treasurer's report shows a
balance On hand of $71.74, and all
accounts of the association have
been audited by the auditing COM
mittee and found correct.

FRUIT
FREE FROM BLIGHT

CONTINUED from page ~
present time the Flathead Is the
only section of the entire country
where it Is not prevalent. It ap-
peared two or three years ago in
the vicinity Of Columbia Falls, but
prompt steps checked it's spread,
and it has not reappeared there. A
few cases have been located in ORCH
ards about the lake, and the owners
are carefully inspecting the trees
and cutting out every branch that
is suspected Of being diseased. Prof.
Swingle says that he finds the Flat
head growers a. rule more willing
to adopt energetic measures than
those he has met in some other por-
tions Of the state.
He strongly urged that all owners
Of orchards, and all those who in
tend planting orchards, write the
Experiment station at Bozeman for
the circular on "Pear and Apple
Blight in Montana" It gives a his
tory of the disease. how it may be
detected, the treatment, and sugges-
tions as to the varieties that may be
safely planted, and those that
should be avoided.
Five varieties that are especially
attacked by blight, Prof. .Swingle de-
clared should under no circum-
stances be planted. They are Alex
ander, Wolf River, Mcmahon. and
the Winter Banona, in apples, and
the Transcendant crab. Sooner or
later, he said, they would be attack
ed and killed, and not only that
but they were especially apt to
spread the disease.
