THE STATE OF
OUR HEALTH

1t is sometimes good thing for
us to look ourselves square in the
face once in a while and see if we
have improved or retrograded in
the general state of our health,
morals and conditions generally.
There came, recently, to our desk,
a little pamphlet bearing the
legend, Bulletin Of the Depart
ment of Public Health" While
scanning its pages in a desultory
way we noticed the tables of NOR
tality published therein for the
state, by counties, for the month
of August. Out Of curiosity we
read the data of the mortality of
Meagker county and were amazed
at the facts found therein. The
number of deaths reported for the
month we're seven. One from tu-
berculosis, one from organic heart
disease, from violence four, all 9th
er causes one. We compared the
number Of deaths from violence
with those of other counties and
found that we tied Flathead coun

with seven deaths by violence

HUNTING PARTY
RETURNS HOME

The hunting party composed Of
Walter and Boone Trimmer, G. A.
Klingensmith and wife and L. w.
Crandall and wife of Ohio, Charles
and Irene Decker, Don Grivetti
and the Misses Husband and Olson,
returned Monday evening and not
empty handed. Walter Trimmer
and Don Griyetti each got deer
and Walter got bear and thereby
hangs a tale. The writer feels his
limitations when it comes to tell
ing the story of this bear hunt
It would take a more graphic pen
than ours to paint an adequate
word picture Of the thrilling situa-
tion in which the doughty hunter
found himself for few tense mo.
ments. The bear was just twenty
three steps from Walter when mu
tual recognition occurred. Now
how lie knew it was exactly TWEEN
ty-three steps he makes 10 effort
to explain. But we have our own
opinion that the old saying TWEEN
ty-three for you, skiddoo," was up
permost in his mind and he has
since confounded it with his dis
tance from danger This theory
gets substantial support from the
fact that Walters first shot at
Bruin was clean miss. At this
juncture some degree of reason
returned and Walter began
shooting in earnest, feeling that
the occasion was unpropitious for
unnecessary delay and tits solemn
" aVerred by reliable witnesses
that had he not been grabbed
from behind and caused to desist
he would have been shooting yet.

ness. between Trimmer and the
bear the party report most en-

HUSBAND APPOINTED
FRUIT INSPECTOR
State Horticulturist NJ. I. Dean Here
on Inspection Trip Through
Central Montana

State Horticnlturist nj. u. Dean
was Id Harlowton last Tuesday, on
official business. NH. Dean il max
ing a tour Of inspection id northern
and central Montana, Of the or.
chards and fruit conditions .ofsthese
localities.
Mr.. Dean came to Montana some
three or more years ago from the
state University Of Michigan, and
has been q most valuable acqnisi-
tion for the fruit growers of Mon
tana. Since his appointment as
state horticulturist many impOr-
tant innovations have been made
in tlleacnlt ltivation and handI ling of
the apple crop, prominent among
WhichWss: the apple and orchard
inspection laws.
NO doubt exists as to the wis
dom of an inspection and, whereas
in the beginning, there was consid-
erable opposition to the law, it is
now accepted as ablessing to the
orchardists Of the state and it's
doubtful If fruit growers would
now do oWithout such a law.
Mr. Dean" has made the study of
horticulture one Of his life's aims
and is an undoubted authority on
questions appeftaining to the cul-
ture Of fruit. In speaking Of the
prospects Of this section of Mon
tana as an apple country, he says:
You may quote me as strong as
you please on the statement that
this country will grow apples.
When the ground is thoroughly
subdned by the growing of a few
crops of wheat or other small grain
and the ground is thoroughly pull
verified and put in condition by
The Harlowton news., 1913-10-10

cultivation, there is not the slight
est doubt that you have here d fine
apple country. Care should be en-
fercised in the selection Of the va
rieties that are to be grown and
lalong this line 7 would reeo onlmend
anyone Of the following varieties,
preference in the. order named !:
First, for an early apple, the Vel
low Transparent or cleveland Rasp-
berry; Duchess Of Oldenburg or
Sweet Bongh for sweet apples;
Wealthy, Gravestine aud MacIn-
tosh Red for fall apple. I would
not plant the Transparent crab.
for the reason that they blight too
easily but as a good substitute j
would use the Hyslop or Bailey
Crimson as they do not blight so
easily. For q green apple the
Northwest Greening, Patton's
Greening or McMahon's White are
good apples for this climate. ALI
the varieties named above are
hardy and will do we'll in this sec
tion. We are extending our ill.,
spection force all over the state
for the purpose Of preventing the
diseases that attack apple trees So
readily when not properly cared
for. The state is quite free Of ap.
pie pests noW,;and we propose to
nse our utinfostt, st, endeavor to keep
it So
While here Mr.. Dean appointed
w. G. Husband inspector for this
vicinity.
Mr.. Dean says the apple crop in

much better this year than last

and in prices obtained.
