Fight Fire Blight Now.

| NShs AO ASAA6AS ASOWs
Fire blight has appeared in the
orchards this spring and every
affected twig or branch should
be removed before the disease
has Q chance to spread. During
the last few years this disease
has done great deal Of damage
in pear and apple orchards and
the Missouri Agricultural Exper-
iment Station finds 1t appearing
again this spring. It's effects are
not usually observed by the or
chardtst until May or June, when
many Of the fruit clusters and
young twigs begin TO die sudden
ly as II they had been scorched
by fire. The earlier symptoms
which should have warned him
to cut back the diseased parts at
once are the flow Of a gumlike or
even o thin saplike liquid from
the bark, or the appearance of
beads of honey-like material on
the newly formed apples. This
material may spread like a soft
varnish, covering the fruits in
stead Of remaining in beads.
The only known means of
checking blight is to cut and burn
all the affected parts before the
disease is carried to the rest Of
the orchard by bees and other in.
scots, or has a chance to spread
through the twigs themselves.
The pruning tools may carry the
germs if not carefully disinfected
by either dipping them into a l
to 1000 solution Of corrosive SUBJ
Innate, or wiping them with a rag
or sponge which has been dam
pened with such a solution car
ried in small bottle for this
purpose. Corrosive sublimate-
also called bichloride Of mercury
may be purchased at any drug
store in small bottles containing
about twenty-five tablets apiece
with directions for dissolving
these tablets and making solu-
tions OF any desired strength.
Pruning tools should be disin-
fscted after pruning each tree SO
that the disease will not be car
ried from tree to tree, and should
be disinfeoted still oftener than
this to avoid carrying the disease
from one part to another OF the
same tree, as the pruner finds
that he is outing through diseas.
ed wood.
The blight usually passes the
winter in pear trees, but may
live through in Jonathan, Ingram,
Yellow Transparent, and similar
apple trees.
Orchards affected by blight
last year should be very carefully
watched now, and pear trees
which show blight scars or can
kers should be examined first of
all. Blisters may form under the
bark, then burst after the trees
have begun to grow. From these
places there flows the honey.like
liquid which contains the baoter-
ial germs Of blight. which bees
and other insects are likely to
carry from tree to tree. The bees
carry these germs to the flower
clusters Of pears and apples and
the newly formed fruits may have
the beaded or vanished appear
ance which indicates that the
spurs on which they are growing
should be cut and burned at once.
The grower should not wait for
the blighted parts to die and turn
brown or black. To keep the
blight from spreading through
the whole orchard it is necessary
to find and cut out the few early
infections here and there. These
early infections may be located
by observing fruit clusters where
the stems OF the fruit look slight

Timberlake All Right.

The Arapahoe Herald under
date of April %, proposes the
question, why Charles b.
Timberlake for Congress2"
Then the article announces sew
several answeas as follows:
Because he is a man in every
sense OF the word one that all
good people ara proud of, and
if elected to that honorable po-
sition again he will get results
il he can have with him men
who are of his faith and who
will work for the best interests
of all.
Because, he is not lawyer
but an all around farmer and
business man and can be vouch-
ed for by his neighbors and
friends who know him best at
Sterling, Colorado.
Because, he has had enough
experience at Washington to
know just how to go about it to
get results.
Because the people of Arapa-
hoe county are proud to have
men of the character of Charles
b. Timberlake to be their serv-
ant, knowing full well that he
is big enough and strong e.
nough to do all that is entrust-
ed to him, providing he can
have other republicans of the
house from this state who are
OF his kind.
Because the interests of a.
Il nahoe county are of more I'M
8ortance to Charles Il. Timber
berlake than any personal in
terests he may have.
Because he is upright and
honest in his dealings with his
fellow man.
Therefore, n vote for Charles
B. Timberlake will not be vast
ed but will insure that standard
of efficiency that the people of
Arapahoe county demand OF
their servants il he is re. elected

" THE NIGER"

The dramatic critic Of the
Spokesman-Review has the fol-
lowing to say of THE Niger"
which will be shown at the Ideal
Theatre in this city in the near
future:
THE Niger is sensational. 1t
deals with certain conditions IN
the south following the Civil war.
It is historical in a measure and
as a consequence gains more
merit as a play. The plot is alb
sorbing and the action at all times
vigorous and compelling. The
love story concerning a beauti-
full southern girl and young po-
litical leader who is accused OF
being part negro is among the
strongest ever written
There are numerous novelties
about THE Niger" Among
these are the Ku Klux Khan, an
organization which terrorized all
individuals who incurred its dis
plasure, as we'll as other things
typical of the south of another
day. Then there is the mag
nolia feature which is a scene OF
remarkable beauty and which Is
typical of the section where the
story is laid.

the superb dramatic actres, Ethel
Barrymore, in The Final Judg-
ment" a vigorous five part phOtO7
drama written by George Scarbor-

In addition to Miss Barrymore
there is a strong supporting cast
of prominent and talented stage

the love of three men for the same
woman, and the trio is COM

vigorous, virile and distinctive.
It is the best effort of the brilliant
dramatist who has many achieve

Fight Looms Over
Natl Committeeman


Boise, Idaho, March 28.-Fed-
eral patronage is threatening to
split the Democratic party of
Idaho at the state convention in
Pocatello, May iS. The charge
was openly made here in demo-
cratic circles that if Robert II.
Elder of Occur d'Alene is reflect
ed national committeeman at
least two heads will fall and in
their place two Elder democrats
will be named.
These two particular Offices are
United States marshal and the
chief deputy in that office. The
incumbents are Thomas B. Mar
tin, marshal, and C. H. Arbuckle
chief deputy. The Elder demo-
Gratis prominently mentioned to
succeed them are Leroy C. Jones
state game warden and Charles
Van Dorm, formerly captain Of
Boise police.
These charges have created not
a little speculation among demo-
Gratis. Several favorite son can
didates have Already appeared in
opposition to Mr.. Elder for ma
tional committeeman. Among
these are Arthur M. Bowen of
Twin Falls, ex-state senator for
Blaine county; f. M. Pugmire Of
ST. Charles, state senator from
Bear Lake county and leader of
the minority in the last legisla-
ture, and f. A. VanSicklin of
Weiser, one of the most prOmi-
nent democrats in western Idaho.
The slogan of the anti-Elder
democrats is ANY one to beat Ell
der" The free lance candidates
for national committeeman will
pool their strength at the Poca-
tello convention in the hope of
electing one of their own faction
or at any rate, in accomplishing
Elders defeat.
That Governor Alexander pro-
iposes to keep out of the fight is
evident. Prior to the meeting OF
the state committee he gave Out
an interview in which he de-
clared unequivocally for a pref
rental primary. The commit
tee, however, refused to order one
on the ground that the party
would be turned over to the plut-
ocrats, who would elect jerome
J. Day, a millionaire, as nationa
committeeman.
In face Of the committees ac-
ton the governor says he has no
changed his attitude in regard t.
the primary and will not.
p Because State Game WardeI
Jones is one Of his appointeel
y and an Elder democrat active il
q behalf Of the democratic nationa
committeeman, the charge is be
o ing made that the governor il
4 assuming an attitude of watch
: full waiting" and is using bot
o factions to his advantage.
/ In reply to this charge Stat
- Game Warden Jones says that tn
d ( governor has never attempted t.
- dictate to him in party matters
I The anti-Elder democrats, how
e ever, do not like Mr.. Jones &C
y tivity for Mr.. Elder, and have bee
d bringing pressure to bear on tn
S governor to call him Off, but s
d far have been unsuccessful.
