RESTS WITH PEOPLE.

Both applications mako tho point
that Tho final ratifying power of a
constitutional amendment rests with
the peope; and that the State legis-
laturos in proceeding to rally the
prohibition amendment without sub.
hitting it to referendum, usurped
that power. Added Significance and
Importance is given yesterdays pro
ccedings however by the fact that
a State itself is questioning the au
thority Of the Federal government to
declare an amendment effective when
It is maintained, 1t has not been leg
ally enacted.
The States bill recites the history
OF Rhode Island from its settlement
in 1876 to the time it became part
OF the United States by It's ratification
ion Of tho Constitution in 1890. The
ratification tho bill sets forth was
In good faith and with full assur-
anco that tho said State and people
thereof relinquished only such por-
ton OF sovereign power az was nee

accomplish lots of good by spraying
for anthracnose although many
growers are away behind with their
spraying schedule, says II. p. Barss,
plant pathologist OF the o. A. C. ex-
pertinent station.
"These growers are worried for
fear the unfavorable weather follow
ing the handling OF the unusually

may delay the spraying until too

Just made a study OF orchard condi-
tions in southern Oregon. Much
good can be accomplished even
though spraying cannot be finished
before the early part OF December
and no infected orchard should be
allowed to go into the winter unpro-
tected.
"The anthracnose canker disease
is getting a bad hold on many or
chards and must be treated promptly
and strenuously II serious damage is
to be avoided"
Bordeaux mixture $3.50 is rec
commended as the best spray to use
unless scale is also present, when

Every part of the tree-body, limbs
