SEASONS TO DESTROY WORMS
Peach and Apple Tree Borers May Be
Best Eradicated in The Fall or
Early In The Spring

The fall and early spring are the
two best seasons for destroying these
worms. If not killed they will in a
year or two completely girdle, and
thus destroy the tree. The most eff
fectual method to destroy them is to
dig away the earth from around the
base of each tree to the depth of six
or eight inches, scrape the bark, clean
and insert the end of wire into their
burrow and kill them.
If the worm cannot be found use
sharp pointed knife and cut mar
row strip of the bark lengthwise of
the trunk; he may usually be found
just inside the bark. Examine each
tree closely, kill them then rub in
rosin soap to fill up the wound.
The same means should be taken
against the peach tree grub.
After the trees are wormed and
dug around pack about one peck of
wood or coal ashes around the base
cf each tree and allow this to remain
until late in the summer. This pre-
vents the beetles from depositing
their eggs in the soft bark at the sur
face of the ground, the place usually
selected. The fall is the best time to
scrape the green moss off the trunk
and larger limbs. A short-handled hoe,
ground sharp, is an excellent little
scraper. The young green bark should
not be injured. After scraping wash
the larger limbs and trunk of each
tree with warm water and soft soap.
Hard wood ashes may be used instead
of soap. If ashes cannot be had to
pack around the trees, use Stacked
lime.

forests on lands that at present are
nearly all denuded of trees and which
are incapable, through their rocky,
sandy or precipitous natures, of rails
ing anything except trees.
Minnesota owns several hundred
thousand acres of such land scattered
over the northern part of the state.
Under the present constitution they
cannot be replatted to timber, for the
need of intelligent reforestation, so
long appreciated in the older countries
of Europe, was not realized when the
state constitution was framed.
Other states in the union are feel
ing the necessity for new forests
scientifically planted, for forests mean
not only renewal of the timber sup
ply, but they mean better climate,
better means of disposing of the rain
fall so that adjoining lands will be
fertilized by seepage instead of ruined
by unobstructed floods in the spring
and better conditions for preserving
game and fish.
100000 Acres Bought
In the past few years New York
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin have
bought more than 100000 acres for
the purpose of reforestation.
Is it not better to use these lands
now for reforestation than to wait I'M
til they pass out of the ownership of
the state-as they eventually must if
the constitution is not amended-and
then have to be repurchased by the
state as the reforestation lands in
other states had to be?
Every voter should carefully con-
slider this amendment, which means
so much to the future of the state.
And the result of his consideration
should be, on November 3, VOTE

Excellence of The State Forestry

Those Having knowledge

Caryl B. Storrs of the Minneapolis

"a number of changes have been

to get the voters of the state to in

and, consequently, to vote intelligent

WHY AUTO TURNS TURTLE

The Gazette reprints the following
article, which has been going the
rounds of the state press, believing
that it imparts valuable information
to auto drivers. At any rate, it con-
tains instruction that if followed
should serve to reduce the number Of
accidents:
"On account of the large number
of automobiles turning turtle now
adays, killing and manning many of
the occupants, there has been much
thought on the matter by which such
accidents will be less frequent. 1t
has been said apparently with good
logic, that the turning over of auto
mobiles is not caused by bad roads or
fast driving; it is because the driver
loses his head and consequently con-
troll of the machine The driver of
an automobile when in danger of turn
ing turtle feels the wheels skidding
into the ditch and intuitively turns
the front wheels to the center OF the
road. This has a tendency to turn
the machine at right angles to the
direction of the momentum and turn
ing over is inevitable, if the machine
is running at brisk speed. Instead of
doing this thing, the old and expert
enced driver will turn the front wheels
to the bottom of the ditch when the
rear wheels are skidding; he remains
that way until he has the machine
under control. The principal of the
rule is that as long as the wheels are
kept in line of momentum the car can
not turn over, but as soon as the ma
chine is headed across the line of mo-
ton then it must roll, if the rate of
speed attained is sufficiently great"

SITE FOR SANITORIUM
Worthington Has Been Selected By
Board of Control

After considerable negotiations for
the last three months Worthington
has finally been decided as the site
for the southwest Minnesota tubercu-
losis sanitorium. Eight counties in
this section of the state are interested
in the project. Sites were offered at
Currie, Window and Worthington. The
committee from the counties decided
on Window, but the board of control
overruled the action of the county
boards and placed the site at Worth
ington. The building will be COM
menced in the early spring.

George L. Bum is candidate to
succeed himself as Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court of the State
of Minnesota, a position he has filled
since March /, 1911. Before that time
he was Judge of the District Court

ment.
The Supreme court is one OF the
most important departments OF gov
eminent and it is of vital import
ance to the people that the positions
therein are filled by honest, able men

such a man. He has had long expert
ence on the bench, a judicial tempera-
ment, a deep student and thinker. He
is embued with that human kindness
and sympathy that enables him to
grow with the trend of modern con-
ditions and mold his decisions accor-
dinghy.
Any lawyer having had any expert
ence in the Supreme Court will state
that he regards Judge Bum as one
of the ablest and most competent
Judges on the Bench Of the Supreme
Court, and that our court as now con-
stituted is one of the best

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-A further relaxation of the embargo against the shipments of foodstuffs was one of few interesting developments of the finan- cial situation and from many import ant points along the Atlantic seaboard freer clearances of grain and other ce- reals was reported, indicating that the railroads are earnestly cooperating in the movement. Improvement in this direction, it is generally recognized will go far toward disentangling the many knotty problems which have grown out of the deranged state of the foreign exchange market and another conference of the exchange interests will be held today, but like most of the previous meetings, the outcome left the conditions virtually unchanged.

Force of 2O00 of Kaiser's Troops Meet Spirited Op- position in Counter At tack and Are Forced to Retire
LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES CONSIDERABLE
Germans in the North Ap- pear to Be Resuming the Offensive, With French Troops Maintaining a Strong Barrier
IAssoc1ArEp pREss pIspArcHl

LONDON, Aug. 25.-An Antwerp dispatch to Reuters Telegram company says that this morning, an early force of 1000 Germans bombarded Malines (Mechlin), IA miles southeast of Ant werp. Two hundred houses were part ly destroyed and church towers dam aged. The Belgians made an energetic counter attack and drove the Germans back as far as Vilverde to the south. The losses on both sides were consid- erable.
 The Germans in the north appear to be resuming the offensive, according to an official statement from Paris by the Reuter- correspondent. The statement adds, however, that this movement was stopped by the French army in con junction with the British yesterday. Belgian troops, making a surprise at tack from Antwerp. drove the German advance guard beyond Malines.
 The official news bureau says:
 "German papers of August P and 24 published orders that boys from sixteen to nineteen years of age shall be put through a course of mucketry and military training. Retired off cers are to be engaged as instructors
 The information bureau has made an announcement confirming previous re- ports of destruction wrought at Ant werp by a Zeppelin airship throwing bombs into the city.
 The bureaus announcement follows: "A telegram has been received from Sir Francis H. Villiere, British minister to Belgium, which confirms the report tha: a Zeppelin airship passed over Antwerp last night and dropped six shrapnel bombs into the city. One landed very near the palace but happily did no injury to the inmates. Much damage was done to property and twelve lives lost. TS"
 The message from Sir Francis de- clares that this act has intensified the indignation which the brutality of the Germans has aroused
 A dispatch to the Reuter- Telegram company, from Nish, says:
 Latest information received here is that the bombardment of Belgrade is
