FAVORABLE REPORT ON
ARMORY BILL
BY House Committee-Chances Now
Bright That $4,000 Additional
Appropriation Will Become
Available.

Late Wednesday evening the House
ways and means committee made a
favorable report on the bill introduc-
ed by Representative j. Y. Martin
providing that for each $1,000 up to
$4,000 donated by any community in
which an armory is to be erected the
state will duplicate the sum so given.
The report of the committee was Il
unanimous one with the recommends
tion that the bill pass. The bill can
be taken up in the House about the
middle Of next week and as no oppo-
sition to its passage has been shown
to date it is thought that it will pass,
after which it will 90 to the Senate
for action. The sentimentin the Senate
is believed to be strongly in favor of
the bill and it is now almost safe TO
predict that it will become a law
shortly. Under this act $4,000 will
become available for the armory to be
erected in this city, making possible
a $4,000 building. While not the
largest. it will be the best armory in
the state when all its arrangements
and equipment is considered and will
be regarded as a model armory. The
action of the legislature during the
next ten days will be watched with
great interest by the people Of this
city and county.

Success With sweet Glover.

The success of Samuel Willis of Owos'
so in the production of sweet clover at
his farm near Thompsonyille IS marked.
Last fall Mr.. Willis marketed one of
the most valuable loads of produce
brought In when his first load of sweet
clover brought $1,000 Mr.. Willis
noticed the ability of sweet clover to
put nitrogen in the soil and he ex'
tensively sowed seed both in his orchards
and fields. The result has dispensed
with the old idea of sweet clover being
nothing more than weed. Farmers
throughout the vicinity of Thompson
vile are following Mr.. Willis example.

ELECTION THIS
SPRING WILL MARK
Michigan's Place For Next Year.

Michigan's Place For Next Year.
Michigan Republicans who wish to
have their state take more prominent
place on the political map of our coun.
try can greatly assist in that direction
through assisting in enlarging the Re-
publican majority at the coming spring
election. In addition to the fact that
officers of the highest state Importance
are to be chosen at the election Of Mon.
day, April 9th, 1t is further true that a
majority for the Republican state
ticket this spring that will fully dispose
of the question as to where Michigan
will stand in the election of next year
will not only be directly helpful to our
state and its material and political in.
terests but it will serve as an incident
of encouragement and, value to Re.
publicans in every other state In the
Union.

Apple Aphis

For number Of years serious iDjUry
has been done in apple orchards, espec'
tally on young trees by the green plant
louse, known as the apple aphis.
The black, shiny eggs are laid in the
fall upon the twigs near the buds.
These hatch in the spring and the
young lice often collect in immense
numbers upon the leaf and hower buds
from which they suck the sap. Later
on, they are found upon the underside
of the leaves, which become wrinkled
and curled so that it is difficult TO reach
the insects with spray The rosy
aphis, which appears at the same time,
may be even more harmful since it is
particularly injurious to the fruit.
The work of these insects not only
results in injuring and destroying the
foliage, but they may seriously arrest
the development of the twigs The
lice also attack the fruit, checking its
growth and causing it to become gnarled
and under. sized. The clusters of apples
the size of hickory nuts sometimes
found on the trees in the fall show the
destructive work of this insect.
Many of the eggs and young lice are
often destroyed by parasites, especially
when the weather is warm in the
spring. The dormant spray of lime
sulphur solution used for the scale will
destroy many of the eggs and the sum.
mer sprays will also be helpful against
the lice, but when conditions are favor.
able for the development of the lice a
special treatment is necessary, particu-
larly upon young trees. This can be
furnished by adding nicotine solution
to the lime sulphur spray, given when
the blossom buds are in the pink.
Some of the standard 40 per cent
sulphate nicotine solutions, such as
BLACK Leaf 40, may be used for this
purpose at the rate of pint to 80 gal
Ions of limesulphur solution, which
should contain about Il gallons of some
of the "a per cent commercial solutions.
Unless the nicotine solution is used
with lime.sulphur solution, 2 pounds of
soap preferably whale'oil or fish ell
should be added for each 80 gallons of
water. Care should be taken not only
to spray very thoroughly 30 as to reach
all of the insects but liberal amounts
should be applied.
When the insects appear later in the
season the same treatment may be given
but as the lice will be more or less pro.
tected by the foliage they cannot be as
easily reached rs when the blossom
buds are in the pink.
The plant lice exude honey. dew, max.
ing the leaves glossy and sticky, and,
since this favors the development of
''sooty fungi, the leaves have brown
or black appearance late in the season.
