We believe that it is high time to de-

them for felonious assault, for man

may warrant, and allowing them, if
convicted, to pay the full penalty Of

1900 remittances were received one

The cause for the regular annual

owner without a new license at 1901

University Joins Fruit Growers in Fight
Against Blight

The University OF Washington is re-
spending with all the available means
OF the university's department OF bot
any 10 the need Of the fruit growers for
scientific aid in checking the blight
which is affecting the apple orchards.
John w. Hotson. instructor in botany,
left Seattle Saturday TO spend the sum-
mer in the Yakima country in study Of
the blight and in an effort to eradicate
the disease. Mr.. Hotson is an expert
in plant pathology, and his work in the
university is more that of experiment
ing horticulturist than ordinary instruc-
tor in botany.
The equipment for two laboratories
was taken by Mr.. Hotson. These lab
oratories will be set up, fifty miles
apart, in the Yakima valley, and Mr..
Hotson will travel from one to the
other by automobile. The university
hopes this study will have resulted in
the discovery before the summer is
over of a means to check the blight
and then destroy the disease.
The establishment of this branch OF
the state university's service resulted
from an investigation made a fortnight
ago by President Landes and Mr.. Hot
son. They visited the Yakima valley,
toured the orchards. noted the inroads
made by the blight, and concluded
that the speediest, surest way of deal
ing with it would be to set up the lab
oratories and devote Mr.. Hotson's en-
tire time to the study Of the plague.
