Cal Hubbard is one of the well-to-
do men of northern Montana. He is
prominent politically, too, and the
only reason that he is not the present
mayor of Great Falls is that he did
not get enough votes at the last mu-
nicipal election.
When Cal started for Montana he
was shorter of cash than he now is.
He ran out of money down below
Glendive. Being a man Of resource
and muscle he went to work on the
section. 1t was while he was work
ing on the section that he learned tc
speak Irish. and that gave him the
idea of going into politics.

Sighting the Farmers

He will be doughty legislator, in
deed, who, remembering what happened
in North Dakota only few months ago.
tells the farmers of Colorado to go back
and ''swill the hogs" when they come
to him for aid in legislation which they
need. a few North Dakota statesmen,
failing to perceive the fact that the
farmer, in addition to swilling tue hogs,
casts a majority vote in the state, tried
that and are now retired to private life.
Stung by the reception which their
committee met when an interview with
the legislators was asked and by the
fact that second committee found the
statesmen enjoying few rounds of
liquor and laughing at the manner in
which they had disposed of the 'rubes, +"
the farmers promptly commenced
campaign which elected the candidates
statesmen stranded in the sink of obliv-
ion.
Fortunately, Colorado has but few. if
any, legislators who are prone to regard
lightly the wishes Of the agricultural
sections, but if there is one who is in
clined in that direction he will do well
to remember that the same thing may
happen to him, for the man who in
vented and carried out the North Dako-
ia program is in Colorado and will show
the farmers how it was done in North
Dakota. Weld County News.

Berlin, March 22.-One of the big

Other proposals include heavy bach

DOES NOT HURT PEACH
But Growers Should Fight Curl to
Save Trees Vitality

Manhattan. Kan. March 22-Use
remedies to prevent peach curl. Do
not attempt to cure the disease after
it has once started, advises L. E.
Melchers, instructor in plant pathol-
ogy in the agricultural college.
This disease is prevalent most sea-
sons in this state when the climatic
conditions are favorable for it's devel-
opment. 1t causes damage by injur-
ing the foliage of the peach tree. 1t
affects the plant to such an extent
that it's vitality is lowered
The symptoms of peach leaf curl
are the warping or curling of the
leaves, causing a distortion and in
crease in thickness. pointed out Mr.
Melchers. The color of leaves that
have been attacked is at first a red
dish brown and later white or a yell
lowish white color.
Peach curl does not affect the fruit
cur on the fruit. 1t is advisable to
spray the trees each season. The dis
ease ought to be kept out of the or
chard, for otherwise the vitality OF
the trees becomes weaker each year
from its attack. The disease is caused
by a fungus which does not attack
any other tree but the peach. 1t gains
entrance into the foliage about the
time the buds begin to swell and open
If remedial measures are not taken
prior to this. one cannot hope to con-
troll the disease. Infection that has
once become established cannot be
cured in any way.
