A Serum For All Fruit
Tree Complaints.

The attention Of the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment Station
has been called to what seems to
be an organized attempt to hold
up Missouri fruit growers by Of
fering them a worthless mixture
which is guaranteed to cure all
complaints of fruit trees, The
first reports came from the va
cinity of Moberly, Missouri.
Similar reports have come from
other states in the west.
Those attempting to sell this
serum pose as authorized repres-
entatives of the West Virginia
Agricultural Experiment station,
andIn order to make their busi-
ness bear more weight they claim
to he cooperating with the
United States Department of
Agriculture and the Missouri
Agricultural Experiment station.
These men are openly violating
the Federal Insecticide law which
was passed two years ago, and
are thereby laying themselves
liable to fine and imprisonment.
1t is the duty of the Missouri
College of Agriculture to inves'
tigate and Recommend remedies
for pests and diseases attacking
fruit trees in Missouri. Fruit
growers are warned against
spending money for any quack
serum which is guaranteed to
cure all complaints. Each par
ticular pest and disease requires
a pacific treatment, and there is
no such thing as a serum shat
will cure all complaints such as
blight, borers, cankers, etc. An
attempt will be made to run down
and prosecute these men should
they continue to violate the laws,
Farmers and fruit growers should
promptly notify the Missouri
College of Agriculture at Colum-
bia of any attempt to sell this
quaek remedy.

The question of transporting the

The idea was suggested by the cen

has caused employers to put men end

Kansas City--A plea for the inde'
pendence of the judiciary was made
by Horace +. Dcemer, chief Justice OF
the Iowa supreme court, in an ad'
dress before the Missouri Bar associ'
alton.
"The Importance Of our Judiciary,
Judge Deesler said. "is threatened by
the growing assertiyeness of Che peo-
pie.
Just as In earlier centuries kings
sought to intimidate the judiciary
now the people, having wrested the
sovereign power from kings, are com
ing also into that age-old notion Of
exerting the sovereign power un'
trnmmeled."
Absolute independence of judges,
Judge Deemer declared, II vital to the
life OF the country's institutions,
1t is true, he said. that judges are
subjected to influences ether than
those of public opinion, but this could
and should be checked by impeach'
ment.
"Shoeklns Conduct Of Some Judges
"The shocking conduct of some
judges" the speaker said, has an
/ tagonized public opinion and merits
impeachment.
Public sentiment makes itself fell
Ia the judicial system, and is an In
nuence to disturb the balance Of jus
tice. I know Of decisions that woulC
have been different but for the intru
sion OF this outside lnfuence. This L
to be deplored."

Last Thursday Gov. E. W.

bility he would ask the next
legislature to establish another
penitentiary or reformatory. He
said: "There is entirely too
many men in the penitentiary
here. 1t is the largest institution
of the kind in the world. | do
not believe that any institution
of the kind ought to have above
/ 800 inmates. Here in the Jeff

approximately $500"

report OF Adj-Gen. John B.
O'Meara on the expenses Of TAX
ing the Missouri soldiers who

The legislature appropriated
S15, 900 to pay these expenses
and General O'Meara turned
back into the treasury 5,172,37
of the $4,000 appropriated.
There was found 285 persons in

was this the case in the hollow
OF the blossom end.
Anyone who happened to eat
one OF these apples withoutpeel-
ing it must have swallowed num-
bers of this scale. 1t is certain
ly disgusting to think of eating
this loathsome insect, and the
board of health of Cape Girar-
deau .ould have been quite JUS
titled n confiscsting the whole
load as unsanitary and danger
Gus to the public health.
To the credit of Missouri it
must be stated that this load of
apples was grown in Illinois and
brought ever the river by the
ferry. 1t is possible that the
vender of this fruit was ignorant
of the presence of the scale not
withstanding all the publicity
given to it in various ways.
But this is not all. The infes-
ting Of the apples was indubit-
able evidence that the trees on
which they grew were even more
infested by the scale and that
their condition must be very bad
indeed. Further evidence of the
spread Of The scale is to be seen
in the very fruit exhibited at the
county fairs. Even on a large
proportion of this choicest fruit
will be seen the tell-tale pimples
of the scale. Ever grower of
fruit should be on his guard
against this destructive insect
and the best time to combat it is
near at hand. Just as soon as
tho leaves fall after frosts, or
chard trees should be sprayed
with the lime sulpher wash
This can be bought in concen-
trated form for 12 to 15c per gal
lol, to be diluted by ten times it'
quantity of water, which reduces
the cost to not over 1 1-2c pei
gallon. Or it can be made al
home Stacking 10 lbs. of sulpher
with 10 lbs. of lime, then ad-
ding some water and boiling in
an iron kettle for one hour; then
