The committee appointed by May.
or A. G. Meyer to confer with rep
resentatives of the Consumers Pow
er company met with E. L. Gala
han and Attorney A. R. Pfau, Jr.,
yesterday afternoon and again this
morning. The mayors committee is
made up of himself, Lorin Cray and
C. E. Wise. While no one who at
tended the conference would give
out any information, it is understood
that the committee made it's mission
known to the representatives of the
company, and in return received
word that rate proposition would
be placed in the committees hands
in time to be submitted to the coun-
Gil on Tuesday morning.
1t is said that the mayors COM
mittee made proposition to the
representatives of the Consumers
Power company. This will be put
up to the company's head officers
in Chicago for determination. So
far as can be learned there was no
difference of opinion relative to the
rate for city lighting. The bone of
contention appears to be over the
rates for commercial or private light
ing. There was some discussion
over the rate for gas.

County auditors in Minnesota have
been notified in circulars sent out
by H. A. Rider, executive agent OF
the state game and fish commission,
to insist on observance of the law
which requires residents of Mime
sofa applying for small or big game
licenses to make affidavit of their
postoffice addresses and length of
residence This requirement has not
been observed in some counties, Mr..
Rider said. An Illinois man obtain
ed a residents license at low
fee last year in Ramsey county,
killed a deer and shipped it out
of the state, but as he had made
no affidavit he could not be prose
cuted for perjury. The commission
is determined that such a case must
not occur again and is sending out
blank forms of affidavits to be made
by resident applicants.

The project on which Colonel Pot
ter reported related only to naviga

THINNING FRUIT NECESSARY.
Trees Usually Set More Fruit Than
They Can Mature

Thinning fruit i'll years when the
trees are heavily loaded should be-
come a well established practice OF
horticulture. 1t is now done by many
successful growers and it usually
pays.
Nature does not concern herself
about choice fruits. She has but one
object in view, that OF reproducing the
species. For her purpose a crabapple
is sufficient. A seeding peach is well
adapted for this purpose But com
mercial orcharding requires fancy
fruits. and those who do not grow
fruits OF good quality do not usually
lind the business profitable
1t is 4 we'll known fact that trees
usually set more fruit than they can
properly mature. As a result OF this
the branches are often broken and not
infrequently the trees upturned in
storms. When heavily burdened with
fruit. trees are easily ruined by only
moderate winds.
Trees that are allowed to overbear
very often fail to bear the following
year. This is especially noticeable
with peaches and is more or less true
Of all fruits. Trees are so heavily tax
ed in trying TO mature all the fruits
that set that thew are weakened and
sometimes permanently injured. Bark
beetles. borers and scale insects are
always ready to attack the trees that
have lost vitality
Experience has taught that it pays
10 produce fancy fruit. fruit of good
size, high color and required flavor
There is seldom a lack of market for
good ripe fruits, but the market is al
ways overcrowded with poor fruits.
With TRANSPORTATION charges high, il
is highly important for every grower
TO produce fruit that can market to
advantage This is seldom possible
without thinning.-Farm and Ranch

Fertilizer for Alfalfa.

From NV experience hore manure
is the best thing for alfalfa, but don't
advise anyone to put it on the year he
sows. says the Farmer. The year be
fore is best. or the year after VIII DO.
II manure is applied when seed is
sown il will cause more filth to come
and smother out the young alfalfa
plant, which is very delicate the first
year After that it will take care of
itself Another fault with manure is
in most cases there is plenty OF tim
othy seed in it. and the consequence Is
you will have a good stand of timothy.
From what | have used of alfalfa, no
farmer can afford to do without 1t
for it can be grown in this State and
why not try it? II you do fail some
times. and the seed comes very high
when YOU do get good stand II is a
fortune in the hay line.-kansas
