More Boosting Needed.

When one OF. the visiting Farm
Editors was asked what in his
opinion Louisiana need ID the
most at this tims he said we ought
to do more boosting. you don't
have to say extrnvagant things,
Just speak the truth, that's enough.
Your State is a good deal better
off in hundred ways than people
of other States dream. and the
only reason why Louisiana has
not come to the front where she
belongs is because her own people
have been satisfied to let the 9TH
er fellow do all the talking"
While some of us are inclined
to think that We have gotten a
rough deal, We are not laying
down. We know that if We are
given the least bit of . show we
can make good and even show the
advanced agriculturists few
things after we get to going.
We have been up against a more
terrible re adjustment than the
present one and we came out on
top. We have already been In
diversified farming business, and
we gave it up because it took up
too much of our time.
The only unfortunate thing in
the whole rs-adjustment scheme
is the sacrificing of those men who
were unable in a financial way to
weather the storm.-The Assum-
ption Pioneer.

THE STORM.

Sunday afternoon the weather
indicated something unusual and
as a storm was predicted to reach
US about this time, everybody VAS
apprshending the coming of what
would perhaps be disastrous to
this section, as any kind of strong
wind at this time would cause
serious injury to the mstured rice
crop. At the closing of the day d
light rain commenced to fall and
fell lightly all night with a light
wind blowing from the east, which
was not strong enough to cause
any serous damage.
The rain continued all night
Monday night aud all day Tues
day, accompanied by strong wind
blowing from the east that came
in squalls, and was at times very
threatening.
Our information was that there
was some light damage to the rice
that was cut and resting on the
stump, and very light damage to
the matured crop standing, this
damage was moro in some places.
Corn was not damaged. cane was
greatly benefited by the shaking
and soaking, this crop was in great
need of rain just like this one.
The damage to the pecan crop
is said to be large, soms trees were
broken and somes fences blown
down.

The subject of road construction
and maintenance is attracting con-
siderable attention at this time.
The Importance of the subject is
hard to over estimate, as the dsvsl-
opmsnt of agricultural interests
depend very largely on the facili-
ties for reaching the market easily
and quickly. The old system OF
road building is wholly inadequate
and out of harmony with the new
methods and movements in agri-
cultural matters, and it is encour-
aging to note that business men
OF alfclasses are becoming actively
interested in the development OF
the rural districts, and IN doing so
they are exhibiting good business
judgement.

BLIGHT

We have many inquiries regarding
blight, what it is and what we may
do
rainfall in excess of four inches
in May has given us a humid atmos-
phere favorable to the growth and dis
semination of blight spores. The nor
NAL rainfall for May in Southern Ida
no is only 1.29 inches. We had an
unusually warm April. Warm weather
and excessive rainfall placed the trees
in receptive condition to receive
blight spores In addition to the ex-
cessive rainfall, in the case of many
orchards, there had been added an
early irrigation. During the months
of March and April people were urged
to make use of early water running
to waste in the bitches since there
was probability that there would be
shortage of water for irrigation in
August. The warmth of April coupled
with the excessive amount of water
available forced the sap and placed the
trees in receptive condition for re-
ceiving blight spores. Under ordi-
nary conditions as to temperature
and moisture, we would not expect
blighting conditions to be present I'M
trees would be out of bloom
The apple tree can more readily
receive blight spores through the
bloom than through the foliage Bees
and other insects visit the trees while
in bloom. The most serious harm
in this visitation has been that por-
ton which was received through the
bloom destroys the fruit for that par
,vDr ,ty 4,
continued wet weather such as we
have had during the month of May,
the blight may extend down through
the branches which the fruit spur was
located. Should the infection girdle
the branch then that particular
down as the source of infection
II the amount of water in the soil
and the humidity of the atmosphere
working together should be such as to
force very vigorous flow of sap then
the blight may in extreme cases ex-
tend down the branch and in very ex-
IRENE cases the principal limbs and
the trunk of the tree may become in
fected.
The possibility Of being troubled
by blight is always with US and has
been present in fruit growing districts
more than usual this season because
atmospheric conditions and soil con-
ditions favOring the reception of
blight spores combined to be present
during the blossoming period instead
Of coming some weeks later after the
blossoming period had passed by. We
do not in southern Idaho often have
very wet May. The rainfall In the
past month of May exceeded the rain
fall Of any other month Of May since
records have been made by the wealth
er bureau. Therefore the amount Of
harm sustained this season is not
likely to occur again in the near flu
ture
Now what may we do to lessen the
harm OF this particular visitation Of
blight. First, older trees suffer less
from blight than young, because the
sap pressure. circulation is distributed
through 30 many more points of

AGRICULTURE NEWS LETTER

There is tremendous increase of
interest in the county agriculturist, or
farm adviser movement in Idaho"
says II. w. Hochbaum, state leader of
the work. Several counties are work
ing to secure the appointment of a
man and hope before long to have the
work started. This is due to the fact
that the men now in the field are
helping farmers in dollars and cents
way They lead in the fight against
diseases of animals and crops and
insect pests, are on the job to give
practical help and not only advice"
"A splendid example of how these
zen work is shown by the experience
OF Franklin and Canyon counties.
Here the agriculturists are on the
job fighting hog cholera. They ad-
dress meetings, interest the people
to work together, to protect themsel-
YES and stop the spread of this dread
disease, and give information on the
ever, they do not stop here They are
not white collar farmers" They get
in the pens, treat the hogs and help
the farmers clean up and disinfect
By this work they are saving the far
mers thousands of dollars. The far
mers, too, are petitioning these men
to help them and are anxious to CO.

"The Canyon county agriculturist,

pers and cutworms, is on the Job

saves the farmer loss, but gets the
whole community to work together

said Mr.. Hochbaum Farmers who
do not know about the work may buck
the game the hardest, have all Sorts of
preJudices, while in counties where
an agriculturist is employed, the far

Here in Idaho we are not asking
the farmers to subscribe. If the COM
missioners make a direct appropria-
ton of from $500 to $4,000 a year
for the work, the balance may be Sc
cured from federal funds This is

growth that we do not have the same
rank growth in the older trees that
we have in the younger. Second, trees
standing in grass or in clover sod
or even in weeds must divide the
available moisture with grass or weed
growth and trees under such condi-
tons are growing more slowly and
are less receptive to blight spores.
1t is well at this time to check the
.rankness of the growth of trees sub
ject to blight by withholding irriga-
ton and lessening cultivation until
the growth of the blighting trees has
been checked This will directly tend
to lessen the spread of the blight. In
our experience of very many years
with blighting trees we have found
cultural methods more effective and
less expensive than cutting and burn
ing the blight wood at this stage of the
season. A limb may be nearly girdled
with blight. 1t may still carry a
tuft of live leaves beyond the point
of spur blight infection. Now every
leaf and twig still alive beyond the
point Of infection acts as draft on
the power of circulation. In the
course of two or three weeks nature
will force fresh buds below the points
of infection to push new shoots and
will show where ultimately the
branch should be cut This bright
windy weather will check the dissem-
ination and should blighting condi-
tions cease and should proper condi-
tons or culture be maintained we may
fairly expect that we have already
suffered all the harm likely to be
sustained this season After blighted
leaves, spurs and twigs dry, they no
longer spread blight spores. Blight
may spread from the dark exuda-
ton of sap. Sometimes in viru-
lent cases insects help to spread. I'm
der such conditions in our experience
the very busy commercial orchardist
may safely leave the cutting of the
blight until his convenience will allow
him to devote time to the work or
until winter when labor is cheaper
and better and more intelligent help
can be secured for pruning. At the
time of winter pruning, all blight
should be removed. In cold weather
with trees at rest, it will not be
necessary to disinfect the pruning
shears since the tree at that time is
not in a receptive condition
In very bad cases of blight on young
trees with half or two-thirds of the
entire tree affected to cut away half
of two-thirds of the tree at one time
for the purpose of removing all of the
blighted wood would likely lead to
the growth of many water sprouts or
shoots which would be quite likely to
continue to blight. On the whole in
the average case we regard 1t as safer
to defer the major portion of the
blight pruning and very much less
expensive to wait until winter.

 Judge Bartlett in city court today ordered nolle entered in the case of Rocco DeCesso of 280 Main street, ar on the charge of assau1ting John Golden of PIP Main street.
 William DeCesso. son of the ac- cused, brought a bicycle which he was riding to a sudden stop at South avenue and Main street. Golden crit icised young DeCesso for the reckless manner in which the latter was rid ing. Further words led to an en- counter between Golden and DeCesso.
 The elder DeCesso, who keeps a barber shop at this point, then rushed out and slashed Golden across the forehaad with a sharp razor. The accused said in court this morning that. he used the razor in defense of h4s son.
 Golden denied this story and owing to a lack of evidence Judge Bartlett ordered a nolle entered.

Allies Foresee Hope
 Tn Serbian Campaign

London. Oct. 2a-UnofhciaI reports rom Greek sources represent the situation in southern Serbia. as some what more favorable to the entente allies. A despatch from Athens, which has not been confirmed, states that the Bu1garians have withdrawn from Uskup. Advices from Salonfki tell of a fierce battle along the Veles-Konaa- novo front with the Bulgarians re- treating. Hope is being revived in London that the Serbians will be able to reform their lines along the Monas- tir front
 The Germans having effected a june sion with their Bulgarian allies, it is possible that the campaign will be shifted from an effort to relieve Serbia to an attempt to cut communications with Constantinople- In this connec- ffons several military critics hazard the guess that the entente allies are not likely to withdraw from Salonili, no matter what happens to Serbia.
 Riga and Dvinsk remain the chief German objectives on the eastern front. The direction of the German assault against Riga may have changed Fighting is reported west of the city, the main attacks against. W hich hitherto have been directed from the southwest.
