PLEASED With
FRUIT PROSPECTS
Trees Loaded and Orchards
Clean, Says Inspector.
Conditions Make This Natural Fruit
Country and Orchards Must Be
Kept Clean Says Our Dry
Farms Are Wonders.

w. T. Hawkey. horticultural in
spector for this district, was here
Saturday, after having made a trip
through this section. He is highly
pleased with the manner in which
his instructions have been complied
with. Nearly everywhere he found
a good spirit among the owners of
trees. In few instances this was
not true, but such will be forced to
comply with the law il they do not
do so cheerfully. Mr.. Hawkey says
the law must be obeyed, with plenty
OF emphasis on the must, and re-
ports from other parts of his dist
rict are ample to show that he
means business.
MIR. Hawkey was greatly pleased
with what he found. There will
be fine crop of fruit this year in
this section" he said This section
is ahead of the Blackfoot country,
you have better natural shelter and
protection, and have a better nat
ural fruit country. The people
should be made acquainted with the
fact in order to encourage them to
take proper care of their trees. The
Rockland and NeeIey districts are
especially favored
4 found trees loaded with fruit
Neeley district has pears of all var
feties and everv tree is loaded. The
orchards are free from pests and
must be kept that way. Only a few
coddling mots where found, and the
arsenate of lead preparation, six
pounds to 100 gallons of water, will
exterminate them. l have written
all whom | could not see and will
be around again in due time. 1t is
my duty TO enforce the law and
am going to do So With such nat
ural advantages for fruit growing
it would be a shame to pemit a few
indifferent owners of trees to har-
Dor pests enough to enfect every or
chard in the valley, and so long as
am Inspector. ali owners of trees
must take proper care of them"
Mr.. Hawkey was greatly impress
sed with the wheat prospects THE
wheat crop is already made" he
said. whether there is any more
rain or not. Lots of it will go forty
bushels sure"

+. Nash Will Make Someone Back
Up Little.

E. Nash, whose land four miles
this side of Aberdeen was assessed
for more than it is worth, will go be-
fore the board of equalization, of
Bingham county, and ask them TO
make a liberal reduction in his as
sessment. He offers to take much
less than the assessor listed his
land, and will offer the board of
equalization a red hot bargin right
of the bat. If they do not choose
to reduce his assessment they will
place themselves in the peculiar
light of fixing values higher than
the listed price of lands And if
they reduce the assessment they will
convict the assessor of using poor
judgement, a charge upon which he
already stands convicted in the
minds of the people. Mr.. Nash has
eighty acres which the assessor valu-
ed at $40. plus $500 for improve
ments. or total of $4,000. Mr.
Nash will take s4.550, which is
a trsfle of 3S per cent less than the
assessor valued it.

FROM IDAHO.
Concerning the Land Conditions at
American Falls, Idaho
By Martin Radke

Concerning the Land Conditions at
American Falls, Idaho.
By Martin Radke.
American Falls, in May-In ref
erence to my article in which l re-
quested Mr. Kosanke, the land agent
to name one German in the vicinity
of American Falls, who raised forty
bushels of wheat to the acre, on Ell
ther irrigated or dry land. Mr. d.
Reinman. of Landing, answered for
Mr.. kosanke in a long article of
''hearsay." And from "hearsay" Mr.
Reinman dished up a fat duck which
weighs / ) bushels or more. In COM
parison TO what Mr.. Reinman here
dished up Mr.. kosanke is a mere
novice
The honored readers will remem-
ber that. without further argument,
| conceded that in Mr.. Remnants
section, forty bushels of wheat per
may be harvested in good years, and
that l further expressed the hope
that also, we. in time, might obtain
better crops after our land had been
more thoroughly titled. But we will
not hang those big harvests on the
big clock until we have them, and
for the forty bushel crops we will
undoubtedly have to wait as those
in heaven have waited the arrival of
the rich, viz: one every 100 learS.
l earnestly hope. however, that this
coming crop will prove TO be that
hundredth year, as the average far
mer hereaboutS is in dire need of
40 bushels per acre harvest. But at
the present time l am sorry to write
that we will not have such a harvest
this year.
In March l wrote that nothing
could be stated regarding our win
ter wheat; today can report more
definitely. The wheat that came up
last fall looks good today, but sadly
too thin. But The wheat which did
not come up last fall stooled nicely
this spring. and We narrowed our
ground diligently in order to prop
erly mulch it. but our wheat did not
grow; evidently it was killed by the
spring froSts. AS a result We were
sreatly distressed as, even for cash.
there was no seed wheat to be had
in town. l, for one, was fortunate
in having saved some bluestem with
which l resolved, but all the time
hoping that the winter wheat would
still grow, as l sowed too thin. In
places where the wheat was scat
tered during last harvest and then
resolved it grows quite thick. Then,
again, in some fields it grows too
thick, because too much was
scattered during that harvest. Then.

securing tree wrappers or screen

To prevent the further spread OF
apple scab the second application of
lime sulphur diluted l gallon to 40
gallons of water should be made.
Now is the time to send in your
order for strawberry boxes and
crates. Don't wait until the berries
are ripe before ordering as at that
time boxes may be hard to secure.
wberry growers should not
forget that the sooner berries are
placed in a cool place after picking

the worms out and destroy them.

means of preventing malnutrition

SCHOOL BOARD TO ASK
FOR NEARLY A MILLION.

While the school construction budget
for 1919 reached but 1896, 900 at the
meeting of the Board of Education last
night the budget has by nc means been
completed, and 1t is expected when the
matter is finally placed before the
Board Of Estimate and the Common
Council approximately 81, 000, 900 will be

sary improvements in schools. 1t was
practically decided to acquire nine new
sites for school buildings.
Five of the sites will be used for the
erection of extensions TO present build
ings, two sites will adjoin the ground
nov occupied by schools which 1t is
planned to tear down and replace with
modern structures, and the other two
will be for a new elementary school
and an ungraded school,
The Livingston Street, Bergen Street,
Abingdon Avenue, Central Avenue and
Camden Street schools are considered

To-Day is the busy day of County
Auditor E. l.. Conklin and County Col
Iector Richard W. Booth. They are
paying off 1, 200 persons who worked as
+, election inspectors and clerks ON last

whether the county should pay for the
cost of election in the different munich
p%alities.
This suit was brought by William A.
Lord, city counsel of Orange, and was
decided in the Supreme Court this week
in favor of the municipality, making il
compulsory for the county to pay the
election expense.
The county officers worked until after
last midnight getting the pay-rolls in

ceiNe money due. All told a trifle over
1000 will be disbursed by the county.

CARD SHARPS RlMMED BY
BIRDS OF OWN FEATHER.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The passengers
of the White Star liner olympic which
came in yesterday had one consolation.
1t was the fate of W gangs of pro
fessional gamblers.
Both gangs, unknown to each other,
one of three men and the other
of four, were known to the stewards
aid officers, who quietly warned pas
sengers. Nobody felt moved, however,
to warn the gamblers against them
selves. At last all W sat down to
a game.
On Monday evening something
aroused the suspicious of one of the
players. There was a row which was
stopped by the ships officers, while
the delighted spectators were scram-
bling over each other to get out. The
joyful report was that the trio did
81, 500 damage to the quartet while the
game lasted.
