LOCAL SHADE
TREE SITUATION
PROF. c. q. WALDRoN OF THE A.
c. GIVES SOME VERY lMPoR-
TANT DIRECTIONS FOR GET
TING RID OF PESTS THAT HAVE
ATTACKED TREES.

Prof. c. B, Waldron, horticultural
list of the A. c. today gave The For
UNI the following for publication:
For the past two or three seasons
many of the shade trees in Fargo
have been infested by a dangerously
injurious insect known as the cotton
maple scale. This insect is usually
worst upon the NAPLES and box ell
ders but it is also found upon the
ash and linden and also upon the
woodbine. f. d.
Last all we gave directions to the
local papers for the destruction of
this pest but it may be well to again
remind tree owners what they should
do to save their trees.
AS this insect does not cut the
twigS but only sucks the juice 1t can
not be poisoned with Paris green or
any similar substance. ..
The most efficient remedy is kero-
sene emulsion to be made as follows:
Dissolve one-fourth pound of hard
soap Clipped fine III two quarts of
boiling water. When the soap is dis
solved remove the vessel from the
stove and before the solution cools
add n gallon of kerosene and stir
violently until the mixture becomes a
creamy lather. This is the stock So
luton n may be used any time
thereafter by the addition of five
quarts of water to- one quart of the
mixture.
This must be thoroughly applied
with a powerful force pump that
throws a strong but fine spray.
The emulsion should be used at
this strength only before the opening
of the buds. After the leaves have
appeared from seven to ten quarts of
water should be added to one of the
mixture. Small trees may be sprayed
easily from the ground but the tops
OF the larger trees cannot be effec-
lively treated except from an ele-
walton which is commonly a. short
tower built upon the top of a wagon
with a fiat bed or rack.
On this account it would be more
practical in the present instance TO
cut out the tops of the large trees 80
far as they are affected with the
scale. This pruning If properly done at
this time will not injure the trees but
instead will be a distinct advantage,
particularly to the trees that suffered
greatly from the ravages of the in
sects last season. In such cases the
stubs, having a diameter of two inch
es or so. Such treatment is the only
thing that will renew the vigor or
even saw the life of trees that have
been seriously injured by frost, in
sects or disease.
In many cases the trees stand too
thick and wherever a boxelder can
be spared without too great loss to the
landscape or injury to the owners
feelings it should be cut down.
Most of the boxeiders in Fargo will
deteriorate from now on as they are
MOI long lived trees at the best and
where they can be replaced with elms
for street trees, native white birch
and sugar maple for lawn trees and
any any of these together with the
oak, ash and Eastwood for the back
ground the change should be begun
as soon as possible or the next gem
GRAFTON will find itself living in prac-
tically a t~reeless town.
The suggestions here made should
be carried out before the first of May
or before the leaves begin to appear.

Speculative Gossip.

Chicago, April 1O.-A weather market
the bull side on all declines. AS a
trader put 1t, to have the market ad-
vance as it did yesterday in the face
Of the bearish crop reports, shows that
it has more merit than the average
ade is inclined to admit. A point
made by a number of traders was that
the market is practically on an export
basis and that every decline of NC or
SO brings in export business. Constant
buying to take offers helps to absorb
the offerings which come largely from
the short sellers. Corn specialists who
have watched the market closely say
the action of the bull dealers demon
strates that they do not want prices
to advance too rapidly, and they sell
a little on all bulges. This creates the
impression that they are trying to get
out, while every day or two they buy
more than they sell, which takes the
surplus out of the market and makes
it hard for the bears to cover except
on bulges.

Ocean.
Thu Downtown Churches.

Chicago Post: The old question,
what shall be done with the old
churches which are stranded in alien
neighborhoods, is being steadily an
swered in Chicago. That answer is,
briefly, to fuse with another church
and go in for social service.
Last year, for example. the old
First Congregational church and the
Union Park Congregational church
united into one church and began
preparations for, a social center which
shall be adapted to the needs of the
community in which the new church
stands. Another instance, and a more
recent one, is the union of the old
First Presbyterian church with the
congregation Of the Forty-irst Street
church and the decision of the new
body to erect a gymnasium and social
center.
This is a more robust answer to
make to the changing order than the
usual one of desertion and final ex-
tinction.

Needles at Wsders.

DR.. barrow: The joint meeting of
the medical societies at Wadena last
Tuesday was instructive and enjoy
able. The local committee in charge
were hosts par excellence for they
provided every comfort for the Wis
itors. The banquet at the Merchants
hotel was the best he had sat down
to for a long time. The menu was
down to the minute in the way of a
supply of ~seasonable viands and it
took over two hours to discuss. Fol-
lowing the dinner was the public ad-
dress by DR.. H. e. Robertson Of Min
neapolis who discussed Cause and
Treatment Of Cancer, illustrated with
lantern slides. The attendance was
very encouraging and the feeling at
the close Of the meeting was that
there ought to be more joint gather
ings of the societies.

Moorhead Department
HITS PRIMARY LAW
Direct Election Of United States Sena.
tors Likely to Make Minnesota
Primary Law Void.

students Of the election laws say that
the result OF the adoption Of the
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton providing for the direct election
OF United States senators, the pres
ent Minnesota primary law will prob
ably become void and some measure
Will have to be devised to take its
place and that the state legislature
Will nave to act on tine matter before
another senatorial election takes place.
1t is said that Governor Eberhart
was pleased to learn that the action of
Connecticut legislature made the
amendment effective.
1T is a splendid thing" said the
governor to The Pioneer Press, "and
am glad that after all these years the
people have finally obtained the right
to choose their w senators without
the Intervention of the legislature.
while the Minnesota system tried
out a fall worked we'll and prac-
tcally eliminated Legislative action,
yet In Illinois just such a system of
primaries led to the Lorfmer and other
scandals and 1t is a good thing to
know that there is no possibility in
the future OF the people being cheated"
me primary law was passed at the
1911 legislative session and had its
first trial last fall when Knute Nelson
was reelected senator. AS Minnesota
will not elect another senator until
1916 the matter can be left to the next
legislature.
Under the present primary Iaw-the
keefe act--party primaries are au-
thoriZed and tho two leading candi-
dates contest for popular Endorsement
on election day. Candidates for the
legislature are asked to sign pledges
to support the popular choice and
these pledges It is assumed are moral
ly binding. With the amendment in
force the party primary can still con-
ttnue, but the feature Of the law call
ing for Legislative pledges will be USE
less as the power Of election is trans
ferred from the legislature to the peo-
pie.

Party Provides For Contest.

In the decision the court holds that
if the contestee is not satisfied with
the decision of the Democratic State
Central Committee he has the right of
appeal to the whole community, but in
this case the time was too short for
such an appeal to be taken or heard
The court calls attention to the
constitutional rights of the General
Assembly to govern the primaries in
the different parties, and nowhere is
there anything which will permit the
courts to take jurisdiction away from
the party.
The Hays forces are now jubilant,
as the decision leaves their candidate
the recognized one of the Democratic.
party and assures his election.
How Contest Started.
The case grew out of a contest filed
with the State Democratic Central
Committee by Stephen Brundidge,
whom the returns showed to be de-
feated for governor by Geo. w. Hays.
He applied to the chancery court, and
a restraining order was issued to
prevent the committee certifying out
the name of Hays without first fully
hearing the Brundidge protest. The
committee sat three days, and declar-
ed Hays the nominee. Brundidge then
applied for an injunction, preventing
Secretary of State Earle w. Hodges
from certifying out to the county
election commissioners I George w.
Hays, the nominee After hearing this
case for two days Chancellor Martin
eau issued the injunction and made 1t
permanent. 4
1t was this decision that was re-
versed and dismissed by the supreme
court.
