mummics will produce growth of the
rot fungus with showery, warm
weather. They arc dangerous.
The leaf-curl fungus is at times one
Of the serious pests of the peach grow
er. However destructive leaf-curl
does not occur every year. The curl
fungus survives in the buds from year
to year. 1t is therefore present each
season, though possibly n varying
amount. Leaf-curl usually comes
when cool weather, with frequent
rains, prevails during March, April,
May and June. It is to the April
weather that the most serious trouble
seems attributable. With low tenn
peratures and frequent rains during
the early half OF hat month W. may
safely pred ct an outbreak of lear-curl.
During such weather the fungus de-
veIOps rapidly and the new leaves are
affected as they are prOtruded from
the bud. In a modified sense the same
takes place during May and in a still
more limited sense during June. Sue
cessful prevention OF leaf-curl Is Sc
cured by thorough early treatment
with Bordeax mixture. Indeed. il
appears that a spraying ar any time
shortly before the blossoms open is
several times more effective thar any
application afterwards. 1t appears
that more effective results are secured
by spraying two weeks before blossom
ing than Immediately before the bios
SONS open. In any event an appli-
cation made just before the blossoms
open is more effective than at any
later date. Lime sulfur applications
for scale insects are effective to pre-
ven, leaf-curi.

Fair Enough.

There is absolutely no use in get.
ting personal and all fused up
over the county division question
There are hundreds of good argu.
ments for and against county divi-
sion accordingly as it meets your
views and the only proper way to
go at the question is to thrash it
out in the open and above board.
When the question of dividing St.
Louis county has been thoroughly
discussed from all sides and the
arguments weighed, the people will
be ready to vote intelligently and
for their own interests. First, how
ever, the law allowing the people
to have their say in the matter must
be passed, and that the bill now be-
fore the Legislature is a good one
everyone contends. A little oppo-
sition has developed against the
measure but from all appearances
it seems those who opposed it, had
not even looked over the bill.
The above clipping from the Ely
Miner expresses very aptly the sent
iment which is rapidly developing
in the range country. Both the
Divisionists and Anti-Divisionists
are coming to the common ground
of being willing to submit the issue
to the will of the people. This is as
it should be. The state law very
appropriately leaves the question
OF the division of the county with
the people but the present manner
of proceeding is not quite az it
should be. 1t would seem that the
better way would be to first create
the county and then allow the new
county to proceed to organize.

He is we'll recommended and has a

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Unframed condition Of the mucus lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
n Is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result. and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing

out of ten are caused by catarrh'
which is nothing but an lnflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

COnviCts Enjoy a
 Game of Baseball

Tempe, Ariz, December 1-Instead of being locked in narrow cells, the convicts who are employed in building the territorial bridge across the Salt river at Tempe, played a game of baseball yesterday with tthe Mexicans of this place.
 Convicts who were not on the nine which the bridge workers have organ ized, mingled with the crowd of bank CTS, merchants and other citizens, who watched the game with keen interest.
 Men from out of town who were here, say that the contrast between the way the Arizona convicts are treated is most striking.
 The convicts in Tempe wear incon- spicuous uniforms and numbers. They go about town without exciting any comment and a stranger might never suspect that they were convicts at all.

that if the entryman so desires there after, he may relinquish part of the retained farm unit and have the charges paid credited on the part not relinquished.
 Ten acres is the minimum area any settler may relinquish, and land thus eliminated will be subject to full pro rata construction charges by any sue ceeding entryman so the government will lose nothing through this ruling.
 Experience has shown in numerous instances that forty to eighty acres is too large for a man of moderate means to cultivate to advantage in order to promote extensive cultivation of all of the land for which this governmnt has furnished water supply, and in order to enable deserving settlers to retain part of their present holdings which might otherwise have been lost through cancellation for non-payment of charges, the secretary has authoriz- ed such entrymen to reduce the area of their farms and will credit the amount paid upon such farm unit to the area retained by the eptryman.
