A FOOTHOLD

The steadily increasing demand for
homesteads has resulted in making
the land office at Salt Lake the big
gest in the service. The enlarged
homestead act, or the Smoot act, as
1t is more commonly known, has been
responsible for a great deal of the
growth of business transacted in the
land office. 1t was about June I, 1909
that lands were classified so that they
could be assigned and since that time
the number of filings Under this act,
qualified entryman is entitled to 800
acres of land, which cannot be irri-
gated or where rainfall is not suffi-
cient to grow native grasses. There
are millions of acres of such land in
this state and already about 100000
acres have been filed on. Under this
act, more than 100000 acres were
assigned. More than 1900 entries
have been made on this kind of land
to date. Filing is at the rate of about
100 per month
Under the Smoot act, BoXelder, Too.
ele. Juab and Willard counties were
the first TO prosper. But in this last
year attention has been turned to
other countries with the result that
great areas have been entered IN
Beaver and Iron and other southern
Utah counties. Even with these tracts
taken, there is more than 100000
acres still available from the land
first assigned and when that has beer
taken, other sections will be desig
mated as open for entry, for the gov
eminent agents are constantly investl
! eating public land which will be open
ed under the enlarged homestead act
There are still millions of acres o
land in Utah which are not taken VI

How Best to Fight
The Codling Moth

DR.. Z. ID. Ball, director OF the Ag.
ricultural college experiment station
at Logan, Utah, has issued instruc-
tons and suggestions to Utah hor-
ticulturists concerning Spraying for
codling moth in apple trees.
DR.. Ball says that the first
spray should be applied as soon as
the blossoms are off the trees, TAX.
ing two-thirds as many gallons OF
spray liquid as bushels of fruit are
expected to be harvested. The sec
ond spraying should follow 1t in about
seven to ten days. The third spray
should be applied between three and
four weeks after the first.
In orchards in which there were
more than or 3 per cent Of wormy
apples last year. the trees should al
| be banded. Bands should be put or
| four weeks after the blossoms fal
and should be removed every ten days
until August 90. Late sprayings are
advised where more than 2 or pei
cent of the apples become wormy be
fore July 20. Mr.. Ball says that 4
is better to make a mistake in the
right direction, and to put on more
sprays than are necessary than to pu
on too few.

legged murder. and seized nearly all
England's French possessions.
John, forced thus to conf1ne his tyr
amy to his own country, proceeded to
make his peoples lives miserable. He
seized at will the few possessions Of
the poor and laid heavy taxes on the
rich. He insulted and nl-treated the
clergy, defying the pope himself. The
church thereupon placed an Inter
dict" on the BLACKBOARD and his realm.
His holiness also called upon the
Christian rulers to unite against John
This last danger scared the coWardly
tyrant into submission. But he re-
fused to make his peoples hardshtps
lighter.
Then It was that the powerful bar
ons, led by Stephen Langton, arch
bishop of Canterbury, presented Q
code of laws for the betterment OF the
people and for the curbing OF oppres-
sion. They called this document the
Magma Charta Great Charter.
Among other reforms. the charter pro-
vided fair trial for every prisoner,
authorized the nation to resist unjust
royal demands and put the will OF the
people ahead Of mere kings wishes.
| The church's liberty was to be re-
spected and no mans possessions
were to be wrongfully seized by the
crown.
John was asked to sign the Magma
| Charta. He refused. The barons and
the common people combined to force
him to sign it. Frightened by their
power and his own weakness, John at
last consented. Thus was English lib
erty born and the rights Of man were
established. John met the barons at
a meadow, near Runnymede, on June
Is, 1915, salved his vanity by pretend
ing to make Jest of the matter,
signed the charter and-safe in his
palace-gave way to a fit of maniacal
rage.
Though he had been coerced into
performing an act Of splendid Justice
by signing the Magma Charta. John
had not the faintest idea OF keeping
his promises to the barons. He called
on foreign hired soldiers to help him
crush his rebellious subjects. The
English retaliated by asking French
prince to come over and be their king.
The land was once more rent by civ
II war. John showed no mercy to his
own country, but desolated and
wrecked 1t wherever his armies could
find a foothold. At the climax of the
struggle his mind gave way. He sick
ened and, on October 10, 1915, died.
Some historians believe he was poi
soned.

The color Of blood is due chiefly to
