A young couple recently got
married at the unearthly hour of
three o'clock in the morning in
order to escape hazing from their
foolish friends. This custom of
indulging in rough horse play
and silly practical jokes at the
expense of the bride and groom
cannot be too severely condemned.
In addition to the humiliation it
oftentimes causes it indicates a
lack of reverence for a very sol
emn and sacred rite and most
certainly the statistics of mar
riage and divorce in this country
prove that marriage is already
suffering overmuch from irrever-
ence and folly.

italy seems to be having her
hands full in Tripoli and but
small sympathy will be given
her by other powers. AS a mat
ter of fact, in spite of all the
sentimental talk about the Cross
displacing the Crescent, and the
opportunities that will now be
open for Christian work, the
seizure of Tripoli was not made
in the interests of humanity and
religion, but as a part of the
vicious system of grab to which
most of the great powers are adj
dicted.

A distinguished man once
said, never send off a letter,
and especially if it is likely to
involve you in an angry discus
sion with another person, by the
evening post" There is good
sense in that advice. Many a
person has written and sent in
the heat of the moment missives
which he would never have sent
if he had slept over the matter.
1t is we'll to let angry passions
cool and also not to decide mat
tiers of concern when the mind is
jaded. Send by the morning
post after a refreshing sleep
rather than at the close of
strenuous day when the body and
mind are wearied and, perhaps,
the temper sorely tried.

So long as combinations OF

evident that one suit after an

Apparently what is needed is a
new law or such amendment of
the Sherman Act as will give
the government complete control

Talks on Herd Law.


Deadwood.-That the cattle and
stockmen of western South Dakota do
not expect to have their course ap-
proved by popular vote in November,
1912, but are only attempting to refer
the herd law in order to gain time to
sell out, is indicated in an interview
with we'll known local man who
claims to give the stockmen's side of
the controversy, but declined to per-
NIT the use of his name.
"All stockmen realize" he said.
that the herd law has come to stay.
They do not admit it's efficiency but
they believe that it has the popular
support when it comes to vote, as
so many of the new citizens are the
small farmers and their sympathizers.
Bat perhaps the rank and Gle CT peo-
pie forget the fact that for many
years the stock business has been one
of the leading industries of the west
and all the west has benefited by it.
The stockmen are accepting the
changed conditions as best they can
for they realize that the day OF the big
range is over, but they have their side
of the question just the same"

ness men of the town have taken up
the matter Of making the factory a
success, and are working to secure q
large acreage planted to broom corn

planted to broom corn last year were
so satisfactory that it is easy to find
farmers ready to take it up this year.
In some cases the net return was over
800 an acre last year, and while this
was above the average, all who tried
1t secured good returns for their Ia
Dor. Trials In the country north of
this city, and in Stanley county have

product there is no reason why this
state should not make that profitable
crop to handle right along.

FUNGUS DISEASES OF PEACH
Brown Rot Among Most Destructive
Of Funs! on Trees-Prevails
During Warm Weather.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE3

(By r. G. wEATHERsTONE.)
The brown rot fungus is among the
most destructive of the fungi on the
peach, yielding place only at times to
leaf-curl. Unlike leaf-curl the brown
rot prevails during warm. showery
weather, and with such weather
period is likely to occur at any time
of the year. In April, If the mummy
peaches are permitted 20 remain on
the trees from the preceding year.
the fungus may affect the twigs
through the blossoms and thus cause
serious twig blight. 1t is matter of
common remark that the branches
upon which rotted peaches are found
often perish from effect of the rot
fungus. The survival of the fungus in
these mummy" fruits and the pro-
duction Of ascospores from them are
we'll proven. No one variety seems
more susceptible to rot than others.
although some sorts are more liable
to ripen during rainy weather and
then rot worse. The control of rot
demands: First, careful removal and
destruction of all mummy rotted
peaches in which the fungus survives;
second. thorough spraying Of the
trees before poisoning as for leaf
curl; third. subsequent spray treat
ment with self-boiled limesulfur may
be profitable under certain conditions.
The lcaf-curl fungus is at times ono
OF the serious pests Of the peach
grower 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 in vary.
ing amount. Leaf-curl usually comes
when cool weather, with frequent
rains. prevails during March, April.

weather that the most serious trouble
seems attributable. With low TEN.
peratures and frequent rains during
the early half of that month we may
safely predict an outbreak of leaf
curl. During such weather the fungus
develops rapidly and the new leaves
are effected as they are protruded
from the bud. In modified sense
the same takes place during May and
in still more limited sense during
June. Successful prevention of leaf
curl is secured by thorough early treat
ment with bordeaux mixture. Indeed
it appears that a spraying at any time
shortly before the blossoms open il
several times more effective than any
application afterward. 1t appears
that more effective results are secured
by spraying two weeks before bios
soming than Immediately before the
blossoms OPEN In any event an ap-
plication made just before the blos-
SONS open is more effective than at
any later date. Lime sulphur appli-
cations for scale insects are effective
to prevent leaf-curl.
