 Operation Among States Only
 Solution of Problem

Montgomery, October 9.-tSpecial.) Notwithstanding the fact that every mall brings letters from all sections of the state urging Iesislativc action ns n means of relieving the cotton sit- ustion in Alabama, the governor de- cIa-ed today to The Aee-Herald corres- pondent that he would not call n spe- cial session of the lesislature unless he was convinced that some practical good would result from, such s course. In other words. there are two conditions under which the governor will call a. special session. s- .4.s First-He will call the Alabama legisla ture into extraordinary session if the other cotton growing states will take sim liar action and agree upon some uniform planA Second--He will call special session just as soon as he is convinced he has a practical plan for the relief of the Ala bama farmer ,Fs The governor believes that the best re- suits may be obtained only by concerted and uniform action on the part, of the other cotton producing states. This was his original idea, but was dismissed as impractical owing to constitutional. inhi- bition to such Legislative action in other states of the south.s s v ' EF,s
 Told It Was Impracticable Z q made this suggestion at the gover nor's conference in Washington" said the governor but was. told that 1t was i'm practical. My idea was that the nine cot ton growing states should. either by con stitutional or legislative action, agree to issue bonds for the retirement. of ,5,0e0,000 bales of cotton. This would have left 10000, 900 bales on the market for consump- ton in this country and abroad. Could this provision have been made by. the cot ton growing states, the, situation might have been relieved but the relief would only have been temporary had the acre. age not been reduced for the 1915 crop.ss

was to assist in the organization Of
Methodist Brotherhood in that city, and
the officers of the local organization in

of the brotherhood. The occasion was a

Methodist Brotherhood starts out with
much enthusiasm and encouraging pros

SCHOOL BONDS DEFEATED
By Vote of Over Two to One the
Proposed Issue of School Building
Fund was Knocked Out

At the special election of the Rocky
the decisive vote of l54 to SO, the ques-
ton of the erection of another school
building was laid at rest for another
period. and upon the school board there
is still the worry of providing accommo-
dations for the several grades that are SO
sadly congested.
Several reasons have been assigned for
the defeat of the building bond issue. chief
amongst them being that property own
ers in Rocky Ford are already overburd-
ened.with taxes and it would work great
hardship to pay an additional tax; that a
S25.oOO building such as it was proposed
to erect is not necessary and the board
should have tempered its request to the
actual wants of the district.
So far as The Enterprise has heard
there is no adverse criticism of the school
board. other than that it exceeded the re-
quirements in proposing the erection of
such an expensive building, and the vote
of Saturday should not be taken as a
mark of disrespect nor lack of conf
dence.
1t simply means that the taxpayers of
this city are not ready to burden them
selves with the erection of anything larger
than cottage upon that orchard patch
out to the southwest. and as the former
owner neatly insertad rider prohibiting
the erection of such building. it looks as
if the school distrie. will have apples to
pick from their South Eighth street pro-
perty for another year or SO.

cannot be exterminated but may be
kept in fairly good control by proper
methods.
The two principal means of con-
troll are the use of arsenical poisons
and the bandaging of the trees for
the purpose OF catching the worms.
OF the arsenical poisons that may
be used, probably arsenate of lead
is as good as anything. 1t is sold
either in the form of a paste of a
dry powder The paste form should
be used in the proportion of about
three or four pounds to each 100
gallons OF spray. If the powder
form is used, mix IL to pounds
to each 100 gallons of spray.
The most important application
that can be made for the control OF
this insect is the poisonous spray
applied just as the petals have nearly
all fallen from the trees and before
any OF the calyx lobes have closed
This treatment should be made with
in one week after the blossoms are
off. as some varieties of apple will
have the calyx closed within six or
seven days after the petals fall,
when the weather is quite warm.
and il yie calyx has closed it is i'm
possible to do thorough and eff
cient work because the poison can
not be lodged in the calyx cups
where most OF the worms eat into
the fruit.

EXTEND cUDAHY-LEwIs RANCH
Contract Let for Sinking of Artesian
Well on Big Property

D. S. Parmelee arrived on Wednesday
from Chicago and with G. W. Lewis went
out to the big CudahyLewis ranch and
reservoirs, where they closed the pur-
chase for the Cudahy people of 500 ad-
dtional acres Of land under their reser-
voir system. q
After inspecting the construction work
on the large reservoirs and buildings,
which they found proceeding satisfaetor-
lily, the gentlemen motored back to Rocky
Ford through the rain and mud, reaching
here about lo p, m.
On Thursday morning Messrs Lewis
and Parmelee went down to La Junta
and closed contract with Chas. McVey
to sink an artesian well on the Cudahy
property-and last evening Mr.. Parmelee
left for Chicago. This short sketch of a
6-hour visit leads to the conclusion that
the Cudahy representative is mighty
busy man.
Mr.Lewis will have charge of operations
on the artesian well. which he expects
will have to be sunk to depth Of from
1900 to 1000 feet before an unlimited
supply of good water is struck. A close
record will be kept of all oil. gas. coal or
other mineral indications encountered in
sinking the well, and discoveries may be
made that will be Of great value to that
section of the Arkansas Valley. The well
when completed will have cost about
$4,000.

for the special purpose of filling every
calyx cup with the poisonous liquid
and anyone can test the work that is
being done by pulling down the limbs
and determining whether or not the
calyx cups are being filled. II they
are not well filled by the first spray,
do not believe it is possible after
wards to do good enough work to
prevent rather large percentage OF
the fruit becoming wormy or worm
specked.
While the first brood of worms do
comparatively little harm, and the
second brood do great deal of in
jury, it should be remembered that
the worms of the second brood are
the offspring from the first brood of
worms that have been allowed to ma
ture. The way to prevent this injury
by the second brood is to destroy as
completely as possible the worms of
the first brood.
If the trees are large, it will be
found necessary to use from eight to
ten gallons of the liquid. and some
times more, to make thorough
treatment.
| believe it is impossible to do the
best work in the first treatment of
full grown trees without using a long
spray rod and 4 tower in order TO be
able to throw the spray forcibly
downward through the trees.
A good power outfit can hardly
take care of more than twenty acres
OF full grown apple trees and do the
work well. -

traffic in intoxicating liquors.
This conclusion has been reached
after careful canvass, and with the
approval of representative men
and women throughout the state.
Thorough organization of the
state, down to the smallest politi-
cal subdivision, is planned. In
forwarding this plan call is is
sued for an Otero County conven-
tion to be held in Rocky Ford on
Tuesday, May 5, beginning at 8

sidering all matters in connection
with the proposed amendment,
the purpose of the convention is
to affect thorough organization
of Otero county.

Sunday schools, young peoples
societies and all other organiza-
tions that are In harmony with the
movement for state wide prohibi-
ton appoint delegates limited

State Wide Prohibition Day
Sunday, May 10, has been set
aside by the federated church con-
stituency of the united temper
ance forces of Colorado as state
wide prohibition day, and on this
day a concerted discussion of the
campaign to swing Colorado into

following mass conventions will
be held in every county in the
state for the purpose of organiz-

by their leaders that the $1,000
voters who voted for governor in
November, 1912, but remained
silent on prohibition will be lined
up.
Movie" films will play an i'm
portant part in the campaign.
