ploy of the insular service in the Phil.

out in one of the provinces recently
he met a small Filipino boy of whom
he inquired: Young man. do you
speak English?" The youth stiffened
up promptly and replied: Yes.

SPRAY TO PROTECT ORCHARD
Two Nest Important Funeicides for
Summer Spraying Are Bordeaux

By w. II. CHANDLER)

(By w. II. CHANDLER)
Spraying is done for the purpose OF
preventing injury to the fruit. foliage
and wood of trees and other plants
caused by disease and insects.
Diseases of plants may be caused
by the growth in the tissues of bac-
terra or fungi. Bacteria usually grow
beneath the surface and cannot be
combated by means OF spraying. Some
fungi grow upon the surface, sending
feeding organs down into the tissue
from which they secure nourishment
from the plant sap. These fungi are
reproduced by means of spores which
are carried in the air until they settle
upon leaf, fruit or wood, where they
terminate and grow, becoming the In.

many men in official life characterize
as tho most remarkable report ever

rison passes quickly over the wide

department and devotes practically
all his words to tho subject Of mill

he sums up by saying. so long as

Items Of General Interest Gathered
From Reliable Sources at
State House.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
On basis of assessment at rs per
cent of the sale value Nebraska land
will be listed at s66,O00,0O0 more next
year than at its last valuation, accord.
ing to the statement of Secretary
Bernecker of the state assessment
board.
Mr.. Bernccker bases this statement
on figures received from sales records
and assessment figures from a large
number of the counties OF the state.
Lands of the state we're last valued
at s329,000000. Their total next year.
IL Mr.. Bernecker's scheme prevails as
1t is outlined. will boost the valuation
to 1896, 100000.
On basis Of taxes for all purposes
that should bring in gross revenue to
the various subdivisions of not less
than s650,000 more than at present.
OF that amount approximately $4,000
should go to the state.
Lands have heretofore been valued
at from 35 per cent to 90 per cent OF
their actual sales value. While under
the law they should be put in at that
value, Secretary Bernecker believes
that the increase of the base to rs
per cent would be equitable to all the
state and would result in no apparent
injusticcs.
