ATHLETIC CLUB MEETING
To Transact Important Business
Which Demands That Every Men,
.--. ~
Der Of Club Be Present.
AFTER TRACK TEAM CANDIDATE

! Business of Importance will be
transacted by the Bemidji Athletic
club when it meets tonight in the
Council Chambers of the City Hall.
Every member is requested to be
present as important steps will be
taken for the development of the club
and the new athletic home. Many
applicants will also apply for mem
bership to the club and will be voted
upon. Very little time will be taken
to transact the business on hand, but
the work to be done is Of such a ma
ture that the entire attendance is re-
quired. IL
Cards have been sent to all mem
bers OF the club making a final ap-
peal in bsnalf OF the track meet. Dur
ing the past few days very few men
have been reporting for practice and
unless more interest is taken in the
very near future the meet may be
dropped. If the meet is carried
through as planned it will mean q big
increase in the financial standing Of
the club which will aid in equipping
the ArmOry and cover the present
debts which are now being made.
An order was placed yesterday for
jerseys and socks and other football
paraphernalia in the club colors.
Practice for the team will commence
in a few days.

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN
West Bound 500 Passenger Hits Paul
Palhander, Cutting off His g..
Arm and Legs. >.
ACCIDENT NEAR FEDERAL DAM

John Palhander, a bachelor living
on a homestead four miles east of
Federal Dam was struck by the west
bound 500 passenger train and bad
ly mangled at o'clock Thursday aft
ernoon.
He had walked to town to make
some purchases and was on his way
back when the accident occurred.
One leg and both arms were cut off
and his head crushed.
There is question whether he was
killed by the blow from the engine
or whether he died suddenly from
heart failure before he was run down
as he was lying in the middle of the
track when first seen by the engin-
eer. A pint bottle of liquor was
found on his person, but those who
saw him previous to leaving town
say he was not intoxicated.
The accident occurred 1 1-2 miles
east of Federal Dam on a sharp turn
in the road, where it was impossible
to stop the train before striking
him. Passengers report that the
train was going at a fast clip when
it hit him.
The remains were taken to Fed
eral Dam and placed in charge of the
coroner pending an investigation. He
has no relatives in that vicinity and
efforts to secure the desired informa-
tion have thus far proven futile. He
was engaged for the past month as a
harvest hand on the Edward Lund-
rengen farm near Federal Dam.

Experience has taught the pro-
motors that one of the best
things on which to issue worth.
less stock Is government pat-
ent to a mineral claim. The
ordinary citizen seems to look On
a government patent as a certificate
of validity. Consequently the wiley
promoters have been full of plans to
secure patents to mineral claims In
the national forests, forcing the For
est service to adopt some rather
stringent regulations for the protec-
ton Of the public against fakes.
It is not enough any more for the
prospector to assert that minerals
exist in a claim in order to secure a
patent to it. The service now sends
out inspectors under a regulation
adopted ''to preserve the integrity of
the national forests and the good
|standing of the mining Industry" II
the inspector finds that no minerals
exist in the claim a patent is refused.

there is only one way to do a
thing-the right way. Some still
fail to properly spray their trees
at the right time and to so prune
and handle them that they will
make this excellent yield, but
thanks to the object lessons of the
successful growers. the number
who handle their crop as it should
be handled is increasing yearly.
Apples and peaches, however,
are not the only crops with which
the Ozarks are this year making
a record. From Lawrence county
comes the report of a man who
has taken more than 81, 900 worth
of hay and seed off a ten-acre
field of alfalfa this year. A neigh
Dor of his has one of the best
and biggest money-making dairy
farms in the state of Missouri. As
with farming in other sections,
the man who studies the matter
carefully and "gets the combina-

profit of 800 per acre. When one
realizes that the cost of picking
and packing varies from fifty
cents to 81 a bushel, a better idea
of the gross returns from a peach
crop is had. The most recent re-
ports from Howell county state
that this great peach crop will, If
the present indications are to be
relied upon, be followed by an
other equally as good.
In Greene county, in the vicin-
ity of Springfield, more than 300
apple pickers have begun work
on the Ben Davis and Ingram
trees, which this year promise to
yield at least 10000 barrels in this
one county. The barrels will be
marketed at three dollars apiece.
OF course, record yields are not
made by all the orchardists of the
0zarks, for in that section, as in
other regions, it seems very hard
for some persons to realize that

THE ozARKs P%RosPERINa.

For those who understand them
and grow the crops best adapted
for the Ozarks, they are proving
a more fertile region than any one
unfamiliar with this section of the
country would for a moment sup
pose. While the present year has
not been a remarkably prosperous
one for some localities, there is
little complaint coming from the
Ozarks. In the neighborhood of
Koshkonong, where some of the
worlds finest peaches are grown,
this years peach crop, although
marketed for an average price, in
many orchards returned a net

PECK ORCHARD.

IheSe tfeeS we're sprayed three
times with Bordeaux Mixture and
arsenate of lead, the latter being
used during the last two applica-
lions. Owing to an attack of twig
blight which occurred just at
blooming time over half of the
crop was destroyed. While only
a small hand spraying outfit was
used, the owner supplied good,
fresh chemicals and the mixing
was done with a considerable de-
gree of accuracy.
The results at harvest time fol-
low:
Variety-Missouri (Pippin).
Percentage of marketable fruit
Sprayed, "a per cent; unspray-
ed. Is per cent.
Value of crop at current prices
Sprayed, $202.20 per acre; I'M
sprayed, $3.50 per acre.
Cost of spraying 3 times at zoe
per tree-$12.00.
Net profit due to spraying -
$1S0.40.
1t might be added that this or
chard received some spraying last
year, at least enough to cause the
foliage to be healthy this season.
1t might also be remembered that
owing to the fact that the fruit at
this orchard was harvested during
II heavy rain, it was difficult to
keep careful notes. However, all
of the fruit that was taken off of
the trees was carefully sorted,
graded, and observed and the re-
suits recorded. Still there was a
considerable quantity of fruit on
the ground that was not counted
at all. As the downpour of rain
became very heavy, this was not
picked up. This would have
brought the total value of the
sprayed trees considerably higher,
as much of this fruit was good.
On the unsprayed trees the crop
was so light and so badly affected
with insects and diseases that
what was on the ground was no
better than the very small amount
that was on the trees.
This variety was only about
half a crop, due as has been stated
to the attack of twig blight early
in the season. 1t might be added
that twig blight does not appear
oftener than once in ten years.

DEMONSTRATION OF THE
FRISCO RAILROAD AND
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI.
KLINE ORCHARD.

This orchard consists of very
young jonathan trees. I'm 1912, it
bore Il very full crop for such
young trees, but all of the fruit
was worthless on account of the
ravages Of insects and diseases.
Because of the trees not being
sprayed last season and conse-
quently the leaves being badly dis
eased, the trees set only a very
light crop this year. The orchard
was sprayed three times with
Bordeau Mixture as the fungicide,
and %arsenate of lead, used for the
last two applications, as an insect
icide. The owner furnished the
materials and equipment for
spraying. Some of the material
was of doubtful value and in the
absence of facilities for proper
measuring and mixing, and being
without scales for weighing some
of the ingredients, much guess
work had to be resorted to in
making up the spraying mixture.
The final results at time of har-
vesting were as follows:
Variety-Johnathan.
Yield, all grades--Sprayed, 14.7
bushels; u%nsprayed, .25 bushels.
Percentage of marketable fruit
Sprayed, 80 per cent unspray-
ed, &C per cent.
Value of crop at current prices
Sprayed. 1894; unsprayed, 1Sc.
Cost of spraying per acre, $6.
Net profit due to spraying =
1886.
The above figures show that the
orchard produced very little fruit
on any of the trees, but that there
was still some profit as a result
of spraying. The sprayed trees
have fine, dark green, healthy fol
iage, while the unsprayed trees
shed their leaves in late summer.
This will have a marked effect on
the ability of the trees to set fruit
next spring. The chances are
that the unsprayed trees will be
unable to bloom. and even if they
do bloom, the little apples will
fall off like they have on
all the trees this year.

Wilson Favors Good Roads

PFesident-elect Wilson in many public
addresses has voiced his belief in the wis
dom of national improvement of means
of communication, and particularly of
roads, to which he specifically referred in
his address at the American Road con-
gress. at Atlantic City, on that occasion
saying among other things;
"a nation is bound together by its
means of communication; and it's means
of communication create its thought.
"We must more and more engage the
government in providing the general ia
cilities of the common life. There is no
breach in that any of our older under
standing of the functions of government.
We have never doubted that the govern
ment had the right to supply these facili-
ties which private endeavor has never
been expected to supply. Therefore we
are not upon new ground of theory; we
are merely upon new ground of tactics
''The question of highways is one of
the few great instrumentalities of our
public and our communal life with which
the government is of necessity connected.
1 see that we must do what we hars beer
backward in doing as compared with other
nations.
60 tell you frankly my interest n good
roads is not merely an interest in The
pleasure of riding in automobiles. 1t is
not merely an interest in the much lIore
matter of affording farmers of
this country and residents in villages
means of ready access to such neighbor-
ing markets as they need for economic
benefit, but it is also the interest in weay
ing as complicated and elaborate a net of
neighborhood and state and national opin.
ion together as it is possible to weave. It
is of the most fundamental Importance
that the United States should think in bio
pieces, should think together, should think
ultimately as whole, and I feel in nv
enthusiasm for good roads something of
the old opposition that there always has
