ISSUES A WARNING
AGAINST THE BLIGHT
Agricultural College Bulle-
tin Gives Remedy ff.r
Fruit Evil

Agricultural College, n. NJ, June Is.
The following warning against apple
and pear blight has been issued by the
Agricultural college:
During the past few weeks several
specimens of blighted twigs of apple
and pear trees have been received by
the department of biology which show
that the blighted condition OF the
above mentioned variety of trees is
becoming more or less general
throughout the territory.
The symptoms of the pear blight.
which is caused by the bacillus amylo-
Vorus (Burr.) Trev, are as follows:
Within ithree to six weeks after fertfl-
ization of the flower has taken place
the young twigs and tips of the
branches may begin to wilt and show
signs Of general blackening, resulting
finally in complete blackenins and
death Of all the branches and twigs af-
fected. The infection usually takes
place at the time of blossoming and
the disease is usually most abundantly
distributed at that time. In the
course Of time, under favorable condi-
lions, whole branch or tree may be
killed as the disease progresses. Young
fruit of both the apple and pear, an
inch in diameter, are often affected;
the rapid growth Of the organism gor-
ges the fruit with slime which may
exude in drop1ets.
t'The progress Of the disease is
often clearly shown by the condition
of the bark. Within the diseased area
the tissues Of the bark have a water
soaked appearance and finally blacken
and shrivel. Often one side Of limb
will be badly affected while the other
side viii be perfectly sound TO all ap-
pearances. In many instances the bark
is broken and from the ruptured areas
there are exuded droplets Of a gummy
nature varying in color from white
through brown to black.
The Remedy.
The only really satisfactory meth
Cd of controlling the blight is by cut
ting out and burning every particle
of the diseased tissue. The orchardist
should rot stop short of absolute ex-
termination in every case, for a few
trees overlooked may prove the ruin Of
his entire orchard In every case It is
necessary to cut well below any exter-
nal evidence Of the disease. To avoid
spreading and affection, in case the
pruning tools accidentally cut into the
diseased tissue, the cutting blade
should each time be disinfected by
wiping it with cloth saturated with
a strong solution OF corrosive sublimate
Il part to 1000 parts Of wateH)
IF the wound made by the incision
is large it should be disinfected with
the svblimate solution. Use particular
care to remove and burn all the dis
eased portions"

Her Loyalty

A man lying at the point of death called his wife to his bed- side and said:
 ''I am about to leave you for ever; give me, therefore, one last proof of your affection and fidelity. In my desk you will find a crimson candle, which has been blessed by the high priest and which has 8 peculiar myth ical significance. Swear to me that while it is in existence you will not remarry."
 The woman swore and the man died. At the funeral the woman stood at the head of the bier, holding a lighted crimson candle till it was wasted entirely away.

A New Sensation

Little Jean had visited one of the large summer amusement parks for the first time, and with the courage possessed only by those very little girls whose playmates are boys older than themselves, she had not hesi- tated, when invited, to take a ride on one of the "thrillers' that abound in such places.
 To her mother on her return from the park, she confded the emotions she had experienced as she swung round the curves of the "fgure eight with her elder brothers.
 Mamma" she said, "when I went round those awful turns so fast 1 felt just as if I had freckles on my stomach"

WORK UNDER WAY
Under Compressed Air in the
 Big SiphOn

The compressed air machinery has been placed in the shaft of the siphon on the Arizona side of the Colorano and a force of men with experience in working under such conditions has been placed in the shaft and are now removing the mud in the bottom of the shaft, preparatory to starting the tunnel under the river. The air pressure was used for the first time Tuesday of this week, and everything is going along without 8 hitch. Within ten days the work will be started in the tunnel under the river.
 The successful operation of the compressed air machinery in the siphon shaft has had 8 ten dency to liven realty holdings and the real estate offices are busy places these days.
 Many of the local people are investing in both city and valley holdings and everything points to great year for this section. It has been a long wait, but it is we'll known that the lower Colo rado valley is the most produc- tive farming section in Amer ica, and great prosperity is now at the door of the ranchmen.
 It is anticipated that several thousand people will visit this section during the summer with a view to investing.
 The outlook is for the compile tion of this siphon during the month of December and the plac ing of water on the on the entire acreage in the lower valley ir January, 1912.

Money From Ten Acres

A man in Contra Costa county, Cal, has ten acres planted to al- falfa and also @ herd of sixteen cows on the same land. The in- come for the year 1910 from but ter fat alone was $93. 40 per COW. Each COW produces about 5000 pounds of skim milk, valued at $12.5O. Each calf was waived at S5. This made a total income from each COW of about $111. There was also plenty of milk for hogs and chickens, the latter being raised in large quantities and furnishing big income from eggs alone.

Record CantaIOupG Crop

All records have been broken in Imperial's cantaloupe crops this year. More than 1000 cars have been shipped and good prices have been received. For six days the valley sent out an average of 120 cars per day. The good prices received were due, not only to the early crops, but also to the we'll organized melon growers association in market. ing the melons in eastern cities.
 These cars all passed through Yuma and were iced at Sanguin- etti's big icing station in the southern part of the city.

EIGHTY BILLIONS
That Is the VaIue of Our Farm
 Products for Ten Years

When Secretary Wilson had just taken his seat as one of the members of President MeKin- ley's cabinet. That was four teen years ago, and he has been working ever since. He is 8 plain Scotch farmer, but he deals in sums that would stagger a Morgan or Guggenheim. Dur ing the past ten years the pro- ceeds of our farms have been more than S80, 900, 900, 900.
 Eighty thousand millions. It means enough to give $4000 to every family or $500 to every man, woman and child in the United States. That sum has come out of the farms within ten years, and yearly the pro- duct increases. When the pres ent Secretary took charge of the Department of Agriculture it an- nually amounted to about S4, ,00o,- 900, 900. In 1910 it was almost S9, ,000. .000,0O0 and when the present schemes of farm inn provement and new crops have been generally adopted we shall be rich enough to buy Mexico and Canada and to inaugurate peace movements throughout the world.
 Eighty thousand million dol lars!
 The sum is beyond human con- ception. It is S1o, 900, GOO, 900 more than all the wealth of Great Britain and Ireland.
 It is more than twice the value of all Russia owns, four times the total wealth of Austria-Hun- gary, and over fifteen times that of Holland or Spain.

ON A BIG SCALE
The Way a Grand Canyon Placer
 Mine Is Being Operated

The operations of the Lees Ferry Placer Mining Company near Lees ferry on the Colorado river in the extreme edge of Ari- zona are far more extensive than generally appreciated. The com pany is spending about $500, ,O0O in putting in machinery for working placer ground of known richness in probably the most remote section of the Southwest, the most available railroad sta tion being Flagstaff, 150 miles distant.
 Down to the mouth of the lit tie Colorado the canyon of the Colorado IS rich in placer gold. Lees ferry owes its name to John D. Lee, chief ef the Dan ties, who hid in the canyon for two years following the Mount. tain Meadow Massacre. He is known to have worked placer diggings that returned richly ir gold for the labor of only few men, but the location of those bodies seems never to have beer divulged to any one out side o1 his original party. Whether the modern company now working has struck the famous old Johr D. Lees diggings or not is question. It is believed more likely that Lee found his mug gets in some side canyon in smal pockets.-Needles Eye.

W0RSTED TARIFF
Victor Murdock of Kansas Has
 Something to Say About It

The Democratic wool tariff bill, which has been so bitterly opposed by Mir. Bryan, who is in favor of free wool, is now un- der debate in the House of Rep resentatives. Victor Murdock of Kansas, the famous insurgent, spoke against it on the ground that it afforded protection to the so-called "worsten trust" He especially attacked the 40 per per cent duty on woolen cloths, which the bill contains, urging that it afforded protection to the monopoly that controls the wors- ted output.
 "I can not see how any man here," said Mir. Murdock, "know- ing the worsted trust, knowing its gross and brutal brutality in the fabric field. can back it up while 1t continues to twist its long, strangling fingers around the throat of the American con- sumer. I can not see, for the life of me, how any man in the American Congress can aid the worsted trust by putting 8 tariff on worsted, either ss 8 frankly avowed measure of protection or under the pretense of a tariff for revenue.
