The Flag has been hoisted to Eagles flagpole where it will float before the eyes of travellers up and down the Yukon river during the present summer, symbol of a duty well done.

While popular faith among farmers

about the formation of large number
of associations, the term cooperation
has been employed in such way that
many people have come to believe that
q cooperative organization offers q

countered in the marketing of farm
products. A great deal may be accom-

. PROTECT LOCUST
TREES FROM BORERS
Plant in Thick Stands to Produce
Shaded Condition.
With Underbrush About Trunks OF
Trees Injury by Insects Is Less
Protection Is Needed for
Very Short Period.
prepared by the United States Depart
rnent of Agricultural

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Plantations Of the locust tree can be
successfully protected from the borer
and grown proftably on commercial
scale if the trees are planted In thick
stands or mixed with other trees, SO
as to produce a densely shaded con-
dition. during the first ten to fifteen
years, Investigations of the United
States department of agriculture
showed that more, trees were de-
stroyed by borers in tracts which had
been pruned occasionally or closely
grazed or in which fire had killed out
the underbrush, thus destroying the
natural shade produced by weeds and
shrubbery. II
The denser the underbrush about
the trunks of the trees, the less the
damage done by borers. Trees grow
ing from two to three feet apart were
seldom injured, while nearby isolated
trees were riddled by borers.
All trees and all parts of the tree
are not subject in the same degree to
attack by the borer. Rough bark pro-
vides crevices in which the borers de-
post their eggs. Young trees, less
than one and one-half to two inches
at the base, are not attacked unless
the bark is rough. On younger trees
the borers are found at the base and
near rough crotches. Trees with
trunks more than five or six inches In
diameter rarely contain the insects
On such trees the larger branches
frequently are infested; but such in
Jury is seldom common enough to do
much harm. Protection from borers
is necessary for only comparatively
short period during the trees growth.
Under good growing conditions this
time should not exceed ten years.
The locust is widely planted for
ornamental and shade purposes. 1t
is highly desirable because it grows
readily in a variety of soils and stu
ations. 1t grows rapidly and forms a
shapely crown when planted in the
open. But it Is, frequently attacked
by borers. This Is because shade
trees are planted singly and in the
open, thus furnishing favorable condi'
tons for attack.
Young borers can be killed readily
by the use of an arsenical spray.
Spraying will be necessary only every
two or three years unless badly in
tested trees nearby are not treated.
AS rule, spraying will not be need
ed after trees reach six inches in
diameter. Trees of that size are usual
iy immune from attack, but should be
watched.
Locusts make such desirable shade
trees that they should not be neglect
ed and allowed to become injured OF
destroyed by borers. The increasing
value Of black or yellow locust for
many purposes makes it a profitable
tree to grow commercially and EN-.
phasizes the importance Of protecting
it from the borer. ...'

PAID FOR FUNERAL


War Savings Stamps are as in
eyitable as death and taxes, and
they benefit the dead as well as the
living. Es
Recently John Kirkiras died in
Dayton, Ohio. He left no relatives
and two who sought to give him a.
proper burial were confronted with
difficulty in financing the funeral.
Kirkiras had died leaving no ready
cash, and the solicitous friends
were afraid that public charity
would have to; be charged with. the
burial expenses. :"
They discovered, however, that
before he died the man had in.
vested in about 800 of War Saw.
ing Stamps. A trip to the Dayton
postoffice and the observance OF
the necessary formalities enabled
them, to pay the undertaker's bill.
