tack warded off. In order to be most
effectual the spray should be repea ted
often enough to keep the leaves and
fruit at all times covered with the
spray. In actual practice spray first
when the flower bud clusters begin to
break and the center bud shows pink,
as at this time it is possible to cover
the flower stalk and ovary. which later
develops into the fruit. and this pro-
tects them during thes blossoming
period The second spray should oc-
cur as soon as the fruit is set in order
to protect the newly developed leaves
and fruit. Care must be taken at this
time to use an abundance Of spray ma
terial so as to completely cover every
particle OF the surface OF both leaves
and fruit and also the calyx cup Of
the blossom end of the apple. Two to
three weeks later another spraying
should take place. this time with a one
to 30 solution, to further protect tho
rapidly growing fruit and also to keep
the leaves free from later infection,
from which come the scah spores. Of
the late season. In western Montana
these three sprays, il properly done.
shotrid prove sufficient to control the
apple scab.
The number and also the frequency
of the sprayings will depend on the
season. During a damp season when
there is a great deal OF moisture the
spray will have to be applied more Oft
en- than during a dry year, when the
spores develop less rapidly.
1t is only by close and thorough
spraying that We can hope to control
and eventually drive out the apple
scab. With it present Montana might
as well give up hopes OF ever produce
ing good fruit. Not only should the
good orchardist spray, but every man
who owns apple trees should do what
he can to control this pest. for like
weeds, it is useless for any one man
to try and control the pest.

Free Range a Great Help

Early-Hatched Birds Are Now Large Enough to Forage

can be allowed free range. There is
nothing like free range for properly
developing young chicks. For this
there are several reasons. In the first
place a free range allows a wide selec.
ton Of foods and this brings with it
greater consumption. Not only Is green
stuff without stint available on an
open range for fowls. but likewise
there are innumerable insects and the
like which add variety to the diet. As

AN AWFUL SCRAMBLE FOR 1T
Tobacco Buyers Thicker Than Bees
in Honey Season

The usual has happened, only more
so. The CENSOR refers to the desper-
ate chase now going forward to secare
contracts on all the growing tobacco
crops throughout Vernon county.
Outside buyers flocked into the city
about the middle of last week, and,
with no ceremony or demonstration,
straightway commenced q buying
campaign. taking fields as they came
TO them, little regarding the possible
tiles or probabilities of future condi-
tions To grab the prospective crop,
at whatever cost. appears to be the
slogan of these rapid.fire gentlemen.
Prices range from Ii cents, straight,
to p cents. In majority OF in
stances the buyers are reported to
have agreed TO take all chance of hail,
frost and other unfavorable coudi-
tions.
The appearance on the ground of
outsiders quite naturally stirred local
handlers TO get into action. and they,
too. have put every available person
al their command into the chase,
Every man who ownes an automo-
bile and is acquainted with the couu-
try and people throughout this eoun-
ty, is being drafted into the service
of oGvers as drivers and assistants in
ne campaign. Although much of 10
is yet very small. good percentage
of the acreage Of Vernon county's to-
bacco crop will have been under pur-
chase by contract by the close Of the
present week If activity continues as
it is now directed.
The crop has made fine growth the
past fortnight. The unprecedented
heavy rain of Saturday night quite
seriously washed crops il the valleys
and sidehills We learn Of some farm
ers whose fields were 50 badly swept
that they may be yaIueiess. But as a
whole the prospect Is bright for a
heavy and good crop, and it will GER
tainly be bumper money mine if all
goes right.

STATE BANKS ARE IN TROUBLE
Readstown Financial Institution Is
Among Three Closed

There was much surprise expressed
on the late announcement that the
Bank of Readstown was one of three
closed by the state banking depart
ment. CommissionerKoult gave out a
statement to the effect that the banks
we're closed after a conference be-
tween the Wisconsin and Minnesota
banking departments. That within
the past two of three months, and as
late as July !, certain Minneapolis
corporation purchased the controlling
interest in these institutions, although
this fact was not properly reported.
As soon as this corporation secured
control of these banks they proceeded
to invest the funds in worthless Sc
curities of numerous subsidiary cor
porations organized for the purpose
of deceiving the public and with the
evident intention of eventually loot
ing the banks of all of their funds.
The stock not having been legally
transferred, the old stockholders and
directors will be held for any loss to
depositors. if any occurs. Serious loss
is not anticipated, and there is no
cause for alarm for the banks as
rule are in splendid condition"
Readstown bank had deposits of3i02,-
go. capitalized for $4,000, Mr. Arthur
FL Ward being the principal stock
holder. He had done safe business
and had the confidence of the public.
Some weeks since he sold a major
part of the stock to two Minnesota
men, who had virtually controlled
matters since the transfer.
Mr.. Ward was in the city yesterday
comforting with friends. He expects
matters will soon be so adjusted that
the bank will resume business with
local officers and stockholders. He is
confident that no depositor of the
bank viii sustain any loss.
