Horticultural Dent.

Frank H. Dudley, the State horti-
culturist has just returned from
nearly a weeks trip, during which
he conducted several demonstrations
and made an inspection for infested
fruit trees.
He gave a demonstration last Thurs
day on pruning and grating in the
orchard of Simon II. Hamlin in
South Portland; a similar demonstra-
ton on Friday in the orchard of AL
bert Walker in Gorham: and an
other on Monday in the orchard of
John King in Mechanic Falls.
He was called on TUESDAY to the
orchard of William Kicker in Tur-
ner, Mr. Kicker suspecting that he
had some diseased nursery stock on
his hands. Mr. Dudley found 1913
out of 200 Wealthy apple trees badly
infested with crown gall and hairy
root, and 81 out of 200 Mcintosh
Red trees similarly infested.
1t will be remembered that Mr..
Dudley destroyed over 1000 trees
from one carload, four years ago
this spring, because of infestation
with these same diseases. TIL Rick
err trees have not been paid for and
will not be, as they are not what
was guaranteed, and will either be
destroyed or shipped back to the
shipper, according as the latter may
wish.
This is the first case of this trouble
this year, but in a similar case last
year, the shipper was obliged to re-
fund 500 to a Pittsfield man.
Mr.. Dudley reports that he has be-
gun the busting demonstrations for
control of insect pest and fungus
diseases with dormant dust. This is
the first time this dust has been
used in Maine. The material used
is soluble sulphur. These demon
stration orchards, of which eight or
ten are on the list, will be busted
with the regular dusts for the pink
bud and calyx and in case of the Nc
Intosh Red trees, one or more dust
ings will be later given.

S. E. Borland and his party OF
Paris people, who made the person
ally conducted river trip with him,

ing, after a delightful vacation. The
party left Paris on August %, and
made an all-river trip by steamer

lance of a thousand miles, the entire
expenses of the trip being only $50.
Music, dancing, games and other
amusements formed advertisement

to points of interest when the boat
landed, contributed very much 70
the pleasure of the party. Mr.. Bore
land says he already has several ap-
plications for the next trip, by Paris
people who regretted not going this
this time, after learning what an en-
joyable trip the voyagers had.

HOSPITALITY WEEK" IN LOUIS
VILE DURING STATE FAIR

Visitors to Louisville during the
Kentucky State Fair, September IL
to IS, are to be made doubly welcome
and their. visits are to be made
double worth while through the
plans of the Young Business Mems
League, which is promoting "Hospi-
tality Week" to coincide with the
State Fair date.
Smiles and handshakes are to be
the thigh sign" of the week and
What can we do for your" is the
password. Invitations by the thous-
and are being sent by Louisvillians
to their friends, asking them to visit
Louisville during the week. When q
person is invited his name is turned
into the office of the League by the
person giving the invitation and a
second invitation is sent.
The second invitation is accompa-
MED by coupon good for many val
liable things when the visitors comes
to Louisville and registers. For in
stance, each person who accepts the
invitation is to receive treasure
chest" containing more than 100
samples of articles manufactured and
sold in Louisville. The chests are
the size of small berry crate. Every
article in them is of practical value.
Besides the treasure chests those
who spend Hospitality Week" in
Louisville are to receive motion pict-
ure tickets, good for admission to
theatres where big pictures are on
the first-run circuit.
Every visitor is to wear "guest"
badge. Members of every business
club, civic improvement club, lunch
con club and other such organiza-
lions in Louisville have Joined with
the Young Business Mems League in
plans to make welcome those who &C
cept the city's hospitality.
There is nothing exclusive about
the affair, it has been emphasized,
and if there is any one in the State
who has not been invited he is urged
not to be "peevish" about it, but to
get busy and write to his Louisville
acquaintance, lacking them up for
not inviting him.
Every Louisville business man has
been supplied with plenty of cards,
each emitting him to invite as many
visitors as he wishes, so if any one
gets left out it's because his friends
are lazy, officials of the League say,
Those invited are urged not t.
forget to register and obtain their
treasure chests"

EXPRESS APPRECIATION
THE NEW

THE NEWS, in an article in our
last issue, took up tn ecudgel in be-
half of dumb animals that have been
abused by their owners, and suggest
ing the formation of a Human Soci-
ETY. in Paris, if there is not already
one in existence.
Since then we have heard many
concentrations of the start we have
made, and modestly speaking, or
writing, rather, we are glad. The
people of Paris should realize the
enormity of the offense committed,
and the guilty ones should be brought
to justice.
If there is a Humane Society here,
it needs gavanizing into life, so that
something may be done for the better
protection of defenseless animals and
the punishment of those who so cru
ely use them. Let's have some ac-
tion in the matter.
