PROFESSOR TAFT
ADVISES GROWERS
Noted Scientist Gives In
formation of Great Val
to Fruit Growers

While the extent OF the injury varies
with the different varieties and with
the character of the season, it is sell
dom that spring passes when peach
trees are entirely free from the attack
of Leaf-curl.
The name leaf-curl is given TO the
blistering, thickening and curling of
peach tree foliage which often occurs
when the weather in May and June is
cold and wet. The attack may be so
severe that practically all Of the leaves
may drop, and this may result in the
partial or entire loss of the crop Of
fruit.
Formerly it was supposed that the
loss Of the leaves was due directly to
the unfavorable climatic conditions,
but it is now known that il is fungous
nature, and that the reason why it only
developes in cold, wet weather is that
the conditions are then favorable for
the development of the disease.
Like other fungous diseases, the de-
velopment of leaf-curl can be prevented
by thoroughly spraying the trees in the
spring. If the application is not made
by the middle of April, or even before
that date, in early seasons little, if any,
effect will be secured.
In sections where the San Jose scale
is present, the so-called dormant spray
for the scale containing one part of
commercial lime-sulphur solution to 8
or parts of water will control the leaf
curl, provided it is not delayed too
long. A somewhat weaker application
perhaps lis will answer when the
scale is not present, or, we may substi-
tute solution Of copper sulphate, u.s.
ing pounds in so gallons of water
Bordeaux mixture may also be used but
it is no more effectual than the clear
solution, and will cost two or three
times as much, besides being more diff
cult to prepare and apply.
Peach leaf-curl is one of the easiest
of all fungous diseases to control by
spraying, as only one application Is
necessary but it must be made early in
the season, and care must be taken to
cover all the buds and branches with
spray.

RETIRING MAYOR
MAKES STATEMENT

At meeting of the village council
last Thursday it was determined that as
there was surplus Of nearly "a 900 in
the village treasury the condition was
such as to warrant an extra payment on
the bonded indeb tedness of the village
There are 81. 500 of special bonds held
by Mr.. Sheldon, drawing six per cent,
and maturing June 25, 1916. and so it
was voted to appropriate $4,000 to the
sinking fund to be placed at interest to
meet to that extent the liability of the
village on these special bonds at their
maturity. One year ago the village was
obliged 10 borrow $4,000 to meet it's cur
rent expenses. This has all been paid,
everything attempted by the village
during the past year has been paid for
and the outgoing council and admins
tration feels much gratIfied over the
present financial condition and it's abil-
ity to clio, its service OF the village by
this extra reduction of the Indebtedness
that weighs so heavily on the taxpayers
OF the village.

Of
LATE VIM. WEN1E

BY the death of William Wente, of
Manistee, the Grand Chapter of Royal
Arch Masons is again called upon to
mourn the loss Of a prominent leader
of the Order He was started in its
official line in 1880 and his faithful
service eliminated in his being elevat-
ed to the Office of M. E. Grand High
Priest in 1889 At the close of the term
of his high office, it was only character
istic of this good man that his unselfish
usefulness and anxiety for the general
good of the Order did not cease, but
he was strong rock and tower of sup
port to the entire institution of Mason
ry to his dying moment.
Rarely has the death Of any OF our
beloved members produced so widely
felt sorrow, so general, sincere and
deep personal sense of genuine grief.
He had attained the highest Masonic
honors. He bore them all with gentle
lovable and unassuming modesty. He
shrank from personal show in public
but was a sure and kind counselor in
every time of trouble, and never
shrank from any duty devolving upon
him.
BY great fidelity, industry and skill,
by sound judgment, great business
ability and foresight, nc had accumlat-
ed much wealth, and each added accu-
mutation and blessing to his store
seemed only to open wider the gates
of his great heart and to extend his
benevolence and philanthropy.
He was exceedingly unostentatious
in his kindnesses. His sympathy for
the humble, the poor, the sick, the
needy, the struggling student and suf.
fering humanity was proverbial; for
these divine attributes, we loved and
revered him.
No word could be uttered which
would be more fittingly applicable to
his memory and character than that
passage from the sublime parable, read
at his funeral obsequies on March End
inst.-Matthew 25th, 34-40:
For l was an hungered, and
we gave me meat; / was thirsty,
and We gave me drink; / was
stranger, and we took me in;
Naked, and We clothed me; was
sick, and we visited me; l was in
prison and ye came unto me-"
And when the righteous, with such
modesty, inquired, when did we all
these things unto thee? the Kins
answered:
"Inasmuch as We have done unto
one of the least of these my breth.
rem, We have done 1t unto me-"
This passage of scripture expresses
my idea of the life of William wente
and of his great reward.

Collecting Tourist Lean.
By Frederic .. Haskin

Il la II Il. =
When the European war broke the
Unusual cond itions that were devel-
oped placed many American citizens
who were travelling abroad in posi-
tons Of financial embarrassment. Il
was necessary that those citizens be
brought home for their presence IN
war zones offered all sorts Of com
plications. So Uncle Sam loaned
them the money.
Now he Is asking for It's return.
In fact he has been asking somewhat
urgently for a good while. He has
six extra clerks officiating as collec-
tors of the tourist fund, Jogging de-
linquents, giving receipts for sums
paid. While the old gentleman is
inclined to be lenient wit hhis nieces
and nephews under the present cir
cumstances, while he is philosophi-
cal and an optimist, insisting upon
q belief that the general public is
honest. the facts in this case are
worrying him a BIT for not half the
loans have been returned and collec-
tons are slowing up all the time.
Government Prompt.
The government acted with great
promptness in aid Of its citizens a
year ago. AS soon as the need was
known the United States treasurer
was authorized. by act Of Congress
to provide $2,500.000 to meet It.
He was also. authorized to serve as
agent for private individuals who
wanted to deposit money upon which
friends or relatives abroad might
draw. Soon there were over 5000
such deposits, aggregating $2,593,000
and the state department was cabling
abroad information as to whom 1t
should be paid.
Not all this money was called for.
Up to the first OF. August about ST.
500. 900 of the funds received from
private individuals had been paid to
those for whom they were deposited.
A part Of the balance has been re-
turned to the depositors because the
persons for whom 1t was intended
either had left the country before
its arrival or could not be located.
A considerable sum Is yet to be ac-
counted for by the different foreign
offices through which 1t passed, but
AuA SASA i1SQO4SS S14O tCVlu1A6 III .U11l$
SO 1t is expected that each trans
action soon will be closed up.
This money was distributed. under
the direction Of the department OF
state. chiefly through the American
Ambassador in London and the diff
ferent consular offices in the various
cities Of Europe. with each deposit
made was given a infinitely detailed
description Of the person for whom
1t was intended, that Identification
might be easy. For instance. Matilda
Stout. buyer sent by a Chicago
firm to Vienna to purchase a certain
kind Of feather millinery, was de-
scribed by her employers as "a tall
attractive blonde, speaking with q
slight lisp" Another Matilda Stout
was found to be a short brunette who
also possessed the lisp.
