Commenting recently upon the one
year of experience which Ingham
county and the city of Lansing has had
under local option, the Lansing State
Journal says: at has been just one
year since the open saloon in lngham
county was abolished, and il would be
hard to find any one, except perhaps
some of thoes who were either interest
ed from financial standpoint in wish
ing to see the saloon retained, who
would honestly deny, northwithstand-
ing all the operative drawbacks OF
the local option law, that conditions in
Lansing and the county at large, have
been better in every way than they
were prior TO year ago. Even those
who opposed the adoption of local opti-
on are not able TO present reason for
the establishment of the license
system that is not out weighed by
another why there should not be a
return TO the open saloon. The first
year of local option in Ingham county
has materially improved conditions
morally and socially, as well as in a
business way. 1t has seen in Lansing
the elimination from the city's popula.
ton of very large portion of the
hummer and hanger-on element, by
virtue of the absence of the bars.

Sow petunia seeds indoors.
Start the elephants ear bulbs. Put
them in small pots.
Good apple lands must be deeply
and thoroughly drained.
Let us spray that we may have
bounteous crop of apples the coming
season.
Probably one of the greatest Sc
crets of success in apple-growing Is to
spray the trees at the right time.
Rich land that is wet the year
around will not raise apples. II may
raise apple trees but they bear little
fruit.
To get the biggest head of hardy
hydrangeas, cut the canes back heav-

A system of orchard heating, often
called "smudging." Is one which Is
used as insurance against the loss OF
the crop.
Prune the hardy roses-climbers,
rugosas, and hybrid perpetuals. The
teas and hybrid teas should not be
pruned until April.
Plant trees only in ground that has
been under cultivation for at least
| two or three years and is In a thor
ough state of cultivation.
Raspberries should occupy the
ground six or seven years. and II
should therefore be rich naturally or
/ else made so with manure.
The ground on which the new or
chard is growing need not be left
bare, but the crop grown there should
not be one that will injure the trees.
/, Currant and gooseberry bushes
should be pruned every year. II they
are pruned in tree form they bear
larger and finer fruit, and not be Sc
apt to mildew.
Sow poppy seeds at once. no matter
If frost is In the ground. Just SOW the
seeds on the surface. They will be
much earlier than If you wait to
work the ground.
II you have blackberries that win
ter kill down to the roots every year
do not destroy them, simply give
them a good heavy mulch to protect
the roots from too hard freezing.
When to Spray.
The proper time to spray fruit tree
can be determined only by watchin,
the fruit buds and weather. The frs
application should be made before tn,
first rain after the blossom buds hav,
been exposed, but before they hav'
opened; the second, after two-third
of the petals have fallen, being sur
to get the mixture on ahead of tn
rain; and the third about two week
later. Watch the fruit buds and tn
weather.

EQUIPMENT FOR AN ORCHARD
No implement so Well Adapted for
Pruning as Common Meat Saw
With Swivel Arrangement.

Every progressive orchardist has
surgery equipment for his orchard.
The deterioration of an orchard can
be checked materially by the use Of
sharp implements in pruning opera
lions and the application of paint, cold
tar preparations or even cement when
large amputations are made. Many
kinds of pruning saws have been in
vented and are on the market, but &C
cording to prominent horticulturists
there is none so well adapted for all

1t is very fragrant and when properly

The tulip is easy to cultivate, as 1t
thrives well In either heavy or light
soil. 1t does better, however, in rath-

rich. Those grown in heavy, black
soil produce smaller flowers and the
colors are not nearly so bright.

TO FIX BOUNDARY
SUGGESTED THAT WISCONSIN
AND MINNESOTA LEGiStA-
TURES END DISPUTE.
ASK SPECIAL COMMITTEES
Attorney Generals of Both States
Request Governors to Take Nee
essary Controversy Is of
Long Standing.

Madison General Ban
croft has recommended to Gov. Nc
Govern that the boundary line dis
pute between Wisconsin and Mime
sofa be settled by an amicable agree
ment by the legislatures of the two
states. The suggestion will be fol-
lowed and the Wisconsin legislature
will be asked to appoint special
committee to confer with similar
committee of the Minnesota legisla-
ture and recommend a settlement.
Attorney General George D. Simp-
son of Minnesota has agreed to ask
Gov. Eberfeldt to make a similar
the Gopher state. If the settlement
reached is approved by the legisla-
lures of the two states congress will
be memorialized to establish the line
as agreed on.
Only that portion of the boundary
st. Louis river is in dispute. A
friendly suit is now pending in the
United States Supreme court to de-
termine the boundary line between
the two states. This will be contin-
ued until it is found how the new
plan of settlement works out.
Wisconsin claims that the portion
of the boundary line in Lake Pepin
is in the center of the channel which
is close to the Minnesota shore, while
Minnesota claims it is in the center
of the lake.
Wisconsin claims that the bound
airy line in the st. Louis river is in
the center of the river as that
stream flowed in 1916. Minnesota
claims that it is midway between the
dock lines established by the United
States government.
Because officers of both states have
attempted to exercise authority to
the boundary lines claimed by them
many conflicts and suits have result
ed. The right to tax valuable docks
and other property along the ST.
Louis river and the authority of the
Wisconsin state railroad commission
over railroad property along the river
also is involved.
Speaker Ingram, who represents
the district comprising that part of
Lake Pepin which lies in Wisconsin.
has gone on record as opposed to the
plan advocated by the attorney gen
eral He maintains that Wisconsin
has nothing to concede in the dispute.
