Mr.. Carleton was born in Hudson,
Mich, in 1916. He attended Hills

tl1ul enough to cover the bark, the
drain on the vitality of the tree is
severe and it energies in the spring
much weaker than it was in the fall.
IN some cases it is weakened beyond
recovery and dies.
This, then, is a good and sufficient
reason why spraying should not be
postponed till spring, but there are
further reasons of weigh. One of
these is that the shell of the scale is
softer in the fall, for it grows harder
through the winter, and consequently
is more susceptible to the action of
the various sprays. Fall spraying is
more thorough and effective. than in
the spring. A greater per cent of
scale will be killed and the same
wrok will have better results. p:
There are other reasons of lesser
Importance, such as the fact that the
weather is more propitious in, say
November, than in windy and change
able March. Freedom from high
winds generally prevails in the fall.
The ground is firmer and will permit
the passage of wagon or sled. In the
spring the soil is often wet and miry
for weeks at a time.-( Farm and

FARGO WANTS CHANCE TO -.
VOTE ON COMMISSION PLAN

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 2O.-Fargo vOt-
ers are clamoring for a chance to
adopt the commission form of gov
eminent. Three and half years ago
they spurned it, not because of their
opposition to it's principles, but be-
cause of the unsatisfactory law at
that time. Two years ago the legis-
lature made some improvement in
the law and the coming session is ex-
pected. to make more necessary
changes.
The recent scandals in Fargo offic-
ial circles leading to the resignation
of one alderman, the filing official
charges against Chief of Police Keefe
and open charges in a council meet
ing against Mayor Sweet by one of
the members, has augmented the de-
sire of the people of Fargo for a
change.
Under the existing law the COM
plan cannot be voted upon
oftener than every four, years. The
time limit will expire in Fargo in
in July. 1t is anticipated little time
will be lost after that till change
is asked for.
The present administration has
been marked by especial bitterness.
Mayor Sweet won his election by only
seven votes, and the majority of the
are opposed to him, per-
politically and otherwise.
