CONDITION OF APPLE TREES

Ben Davis and Gano apple trees
are dying in such large numbers
throughout Iowa this season that
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment
station horticulturists, S. A. Beach
and Laurenz Greene, recently made
a thorough investigation of the dis
tricts most affected. They have
just completed their preliminary
report in which they say that injury
and death of these fruit trees is due
to number of factors, chief of which
are cankers and blight caused by
various parasitic diseases; the early
fall freeze of October, 1909, the late
spring freeze Of April, 1910; the
dry season of the summer of 1910
followed by the cold winter with
comparatively light snow, and the
extreme drought and heavy crop
production of 1911.
All of these factors tended to
weaken the vitality of the trees"
say Messrs. Beach and Greene, and
particularly of the older and less
vigorous ones, rendering them less
able to withstand the unusual and
continued low temperatures of last
winter. Those orchards which have
been well cared for are showing less
injury than neglected orchards and
their trees are recovering more
rapidly. Also, the younger and
more vigorous trees are recovering
more rapidly; they were also less
injured"
In general. those trees which were
previously weakened by disease or
mechanical injury are showing the
most winter killing. This was es-
pecially true in Fremont, Potta-
wattamie, Mills, Polk and Page
counties, south of the Rock Island
railway. where no case of injury
found was traceable to winter killing
alone. Here the blister canker or
Illinois canker was the most COM
mon cause or injury and it is con
sidered by the experiment station
as very serious menace to Iowa
orchards. In a recent bulletin issued
by the station on new fungus
growths in Iowa, No. 131, there
is description of this disease. In
Harrison and Woodbury. counties,
severe cold is the chief cause of
trouble.
Where orchards are afflicted with
canker or other discs se, the diseased
wood should be cut out" advises
Prof. S. A. Beach. THAT should
lie done at once. The cuts should

CRESTED BUTTE STEAM
COAL FOR PACIFIC
NAVAL, SQJAlRONS

1t is rumored that arrangements
are being formulated ior the use OF
Crested Butte steam Goals in all the
naval sluadrons used by the govern
ment on the Pacific coast which COM
prise something over fifty vessels.
which go out to Honolulu and patrol
the islands and continents of the
western hemisphere. 1t is thought
that the d.. q r. G.. railway may be
hastcning the broad gauge to this
point in order to get in on contracts
to supply the government with at
least 4 portion of the coal used on
the naval squadrons that harbor and
obtain. their coal supplies on the
Pacific coast.
Should the coal companies here
secure government contracts for
Crested Butte coal to be used on the
Pacific naval fleets it will require a
whole train load Of standard gauge
cars every day in the year TO meet
the fuel demands of the great naval
flotilla now held guarding and pa
trolling the Pacific coast
1t is understood that large por-
tion of this fuel supply has been
transported from the Pennsylvania
coal fields to California for govern
Use which is nearly twice the haul
age distance as from Colorado. 1t
is also stated that the Crested Butte
coal develops as much steam per ton
of coal burned as does the Pennsyl-
vania or any other coal mined in
the United States, in which case a
large transportation expense could
be saved by the government in the
use of Colorado al ON her Pacific
coast naval vessels.

the AUGUSTA AND
EXCELSIOR Mines TO
OPERATE ANOTHER YEAR

There is q strong probability thit
these famous old producers II high
grade gold-silver ores will CONE into
production next year az the owners
are already formulating plans TO that
effect. ..-
1t is well known fact that the:e
properties for a-number a of years
after discovery maintained n large
ore output at q heavy expense and
kept number of large jack trains
employed packing ore down the
mountains to the common shipping
point at Anthracite.
Tho Augusta at one time owned one
hundred pack animals which We're
constantly muse and the Excelsior
half that number. The rate raid
for packing ore from these mines to
the ears wGs from seven to nine
dollars per ton and the rate on the
railroad to Pueblo and Denver
was from nine To twelve dollars per
ton while the smelling charges in
those days We're from fifteen to sew
eatecn dollars per ton. The Wages
paid miners waa four dollars n day
and team work ten dollars Tor ian
and single. team.
notwithstanding these heavy cx-
pc:iscs these mines were earning big
profits for the operators. The net
returns on ores shipped We're rarely
undera thousand dollars per ear and
frequently :ts high as eighteen hum
drcd or two thousand per car load
of ten lots of ore.
The lowest working on the Au-
gusta mine was less than two mum
dred feet and that on the Excelsior
but ninetysicct asclows-tllc 'colinr of
the one shaft sunk. Neither of these
properties may he considered de1el--

Poplar, Mont. Sept. IA striking
era in the evolution Of the American
Indian will be marked on the FIT. Peck
reservation in Montana, October 1,
when the first county fair ever held
by Indians will open here. At this
unique agricultural exposition there
will be exhibited some unusual speci-
mems of grain and grasses which later
in the seaso will be entered at east
ern land shows in competition with
the prize products Of the white man.
The white man has always laughed
at the idea Of civilizing the Indians,
but the primer lesson in agriculture
given the Sioux tribe has worked a
remarkable transformation scene in
the lives OF these red men on the Ft.
Peck reservation. Last ear Louis
Hill, chairman of the Great Northern
Railway BOARD of directors, sent q rep
resentauve body Of these Indians from
the Montana prairie to the New York
land show. Inasmuch as the Indians
were about to haYe their lands opened
to the white man for settlement. Mr..
HUI felt sorry for the crUde children
Of nature and decided upon a novel
experiment in their behalf. He figured
hat if these people were destined,
without consent. to become farmers,
they should be given, some 1nstruc-
ton in the agricultural methods Of
the Whites. Inc railway CIlcA IIO1e-
upon picked the most intelligent mem
bers of the tribe and gained the ap-
prevail Of the interior department at
Washington, to send them to the
Gotham land show. The result was
thai the Indians vent back to their
Montana tepees imbued with the idea
of tilling the soil and producing all
Of the wonderful products which they
saw exhibited at the Madison Square
Garden show.

to some, people," said Mr.. Hill, TOR
