The question at once arises. "Wha:
kind OF fertilizers are best adapted t.
orchard conditions?" The Hortlcul
tural Department Of the West Virgini:.
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been studying the effect OF fertilizers
on apples and peaches, and have found
that nitrogen Is the one form OF plant
food to which the peach tree will re
sp0nd with increased growth and pro
duction. On the other hand the appll
cation OF muriate OF potash In quaint.
ties OF three to four pounds per tree
has worked an actual damage. Appll.
cations OF acid phosphate have appar.
emily neither benefited nor retarded

On the heavier soils Of West vir-

manure Is not available and the trees
are not making strong growth, or
the foliage is not dark colored, nj

fertilizer obtainable.
It might be well to suggest at this
point that unless the fruit grower H..
prepared to prune his trees carefully
each year; to put in effect thorough
and systematic spraying schedule; to
keep his orchard in good sanitary
condition: and finally to put up an
honest and attractive pack when his

him to spend money In fertilizers. IL

OPPOSE CONSOLIDATION

Gov. Stewart is opposed to the
plan to consolidate the state edu-
cational institution. He has is
sued long statement IN which
he points out the many reasons
why he thinks it would be mad
visable for the state to vote to
consolidate the state university,
the state agricultural college and
the school of mines in one in
stitution. In this particular
there will be many others to
agree with him. The points
emphasized by the governor are:
Location Of consolidated uni
versity to be decided by others
than citizens of Montana.
State entered into an implied
contract when present schools
were located in the several cities.
One hundred and fifty thous-
and dollars worth of property
would be thrown away in Butte
alone in event Of consolidation.
Land upon which several
schools are located will revert to
original owners, deeds of gifts so
specifying if schools are aban-
doned at these places.
States initial loss at Bozeman |
would be in the neighborhood of
S550,O00.
Fears that consolidated uni
versity would serve to develop
caste among students.
Questions whether it would be
wise to offer presidency to heads I
of any of the schools it is pro-
posed to consolidate.
DISCRIMINATION Of the teach
ing stats of the present institu
tons would be one Of the newt
able results which would follow
consolidation.
Greatly regrets the consollda-
ton campaign; believes that it is
ill-advised.
State board of education Civ
ing serious consideration to the
appointment of a chancellor to
have executive control over the
several schools as provided by
the last legislature.
Nothing to be ashamed of in
the states colleges and univers-
tiles.
If any official or employee of
the state feels that he is COM
PEELED to go about apologizlng for
Montana s educational system he
first owes it to the state and to
himself to tender his resignation.
For such a man on such mis-
sion the governors office is open
six days a week.. y
Does not believe that the peo-
pie of the state are anxious to
assume further large burdens of
taxation with 50 little prospect of
gain.
