ADVICE is GIVEN
ON ANTHRACNOSE
lRv NJ. D. Armstrong;

The time is here when the growers
of apples need to be thinking about
grinding their ak and laying in a good
supply of ammunition for the fight
against this disease. "Old Man An
thracnose" is very much alive and his
agents are in more orchards than ever
this summer waiting for the first fall
rains, that they may begin scattering
about the spores for the further de-
struction of the trees and fruit this
winter. To forestal the advance of
this pest this fall requires the coopera-
tion of practically all of the growers
| in Hood River county. Individual
growers and groups in communities
have succeeded to remarkable extent
in controlling this disease, but many
orchards where the Bordeaux spray
has been neglected or indifferently put
on, not only suffer loss in themelves
but have become a neighborhood nui-
sance as a source of infection for all
orchards about. These orchards make
it necessary to keep up the fight year
after year with the probability of los
ing ground.
The loss from this disease is very
great and is hard to estimate. Much |
of the loss of the winter of 1919 was
due indirectly to the anthracnose. An
experienced orchardist valuing our
orchards as a whole in their present
condition. would undoubtedly appraise
them at figure fully ten per cent less
than what they should be had they not
seen the Tavages of this disease. Some
have placed the damage to the last
crop of apples alone at 100000. But
whatever the loss is, it is great and
serious.
In this article | wish to take up
some of the practical details for those
who may not be familiar with its diff
ferent phases. The anthracnose of the
apple is disease apparently native to
he Northwest and does not extend
EAST of the Cascade mountains. 1t
hrives only in the moist climate of
he coast from northern California to
British Columbia. Thus it is that the
Yakima and the Wenatchee apple sec
ions in Washington are nearly free
rom it. This will make it a little
arder for Hood River apples to com
ete with apples from Washington un-
ess careful attention is given toward
eeping our apples clean.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS


Geo. P. Pemberton brings from the
Upper Valley the most interesting nat
ural history story of the season. A
party of neighboring campers, whose
names, however, MIR. Pemberton did
not learn, were disturbed in the late
night by the rafting of tin pals and
dishes in an improvised cupboard near
their tent. They were tired from the
days strenuous sightseeing and drop
ped back to sleep, thinking that their
little dog, member of the outing par
ty. was seeking refreshments.
Shortly, says Mr.. Pemberton,
''the couple was aroused by something
walking on the foot of the bed. Their
thoughts still turned to the dog, and
they shook the cover in an endeavor to
remove him, but the intruder remained.
The man found his electric torch and
directed it's rays at the foot of the
bed. He and his wife shrieked stimuli
taneously, and FASTENED from the tent
as fast as possible. A huge, striped
skunk was curled up on their tent
couch.
The polecat slept in peace. He had
gorged himself on staples and dainties,
and apparently was in "a kind of stu
por. The mountain air was chilly, and
the two sought their automobile near
by. They found the little dog sleeping
peacefully in the tonneau. There
they. too, lowered close, trying to keep
warm and propounding to each other
various schemes for eliminating the
unwelcome guest. In just two hours,
as the eastern sky was first tinged
with approach of dawn, they saw the
skunk emerge from under the tent.
The animal actually, the couple de-
clares, yawned in apparent satisfaction
at the feast and nap. This display of
ultra egotism, however, proved the
skunk's undong.
AS the polecat was moving off into
the bushes, the shivering husband
drew a revolver and fired. Fortunate
ly he struck the beast in the head, |
paralyzing it and thus preventing its |
leaving a calling card in the agony of |
death thrOes.

Marked Improvement in Crop
and Banking Conditions to
Relieve Money Shortage
FARMERS PROSPERITY

A shower of gold in the form Of
taxes will descend upon the state trea-
sury within the next ten days, accord
ing t. Arthur M. Stong, state trea-
su-er. He bases this statement upon
reports he has received during the lass
few days from county treasurers
throughout the state.
Not in several years have crop re-
ports been so assuring" declared the
treasurer. Marked improvements in
the condition of the banks Is noted,
aud with the beginning of the move
ment of crops the present tight money
market, 1 am quite satisfied, will b
considerably relieved.
'For the past three or four months
have been swamped with requests
for state deposits. These requests
have practically stopped. 1 take that
as an Indication that the worst has
passed.
"Our farmers are meeting the sit
uation in splendid fashion. Many Of
the fam owners of eastern Colorado,
where the dry lands in past years
have s!.own low yields, will show .
big ,,rofit this fall.
Some of them report as high as IS
bushels of wheat to- the acre. And
the best feature is that these crops
will cost only about half what they
did last year.
Good crops mean prosperity to the
farmers.
"And prosperity among the farmers
to collect on paper which they have
been holding since planting time"
The state treasurer said he would
begin today the distribution Of 1885,.
900 to the schools Of the state, repre-.
sentng the semi annual apportion.
ment of the public school income
fund. The distribution of these
checks should have been made on
July l, but was delayed because some
of the counties failed to make
prompt report of the school census.
Checks covering the apportionment
were being written yesterday and pro.
badly will be turned over to Miss
Katherine IL. Craig, superintendent of
public instruction, today for distribu-
tion from her office.

New Organization Assumes All
Underlying Mortgages and
Obligations
ALL DIR. G.Pa0PERTY

The formal transfer of the Denver
& Rio Grande railroad to the new Or
ganization, the Denver & Rio Grande
Western, was authorized Wednesday
by Judge Robert E. Lewis Of the
United States district court and Judge
Walter H. Sanborn of the federal cir
cult court of appeals, in an order ap-
proving and affirming final report
of William A. jackson, special master.
The report incorporates complete
recital of the purchase Of the bank
rupt road Nov. 20, 1920, by John F.
Bowie, John B. Marsh and Ralph N.
Arkush, representing the bondholders
of the Denver & Rio Grande and the
Western Pacific Railroad corporation,
whose bond issue had been guaranteed
by the former road.
The deed of transfer contains . de-
scription of all the property owned by
the Denver & Rio Grande over the
entire system, all of which goes to
the newly organized corporation ex-
cept certain securities and 100000 in
cash to be transferred to the Western
Pacific at the direction OF the three
purchasers.
The new road assumes all underly
ing mortgages and obligations of the
old road, amounting approximately to
1921 100000. The $3S,000,0OO judg
ment in favor of the Equitable Trust
company of New York, the nOn-payment
of which threw the Denver 4 Rio
Grande into receivership, covers the
upset purchase price of $5,0O0,O0O.
The only cash actually paid was the
100000 paid into the court as an evil
dence Of intention to bid, and 1884,.
$50, the difference between the pur
chase price and credit of $4,745 $50
allowed on $50,0O0,O0O worth Of 5 per
cent gold bonds of the Western Pa
cific Railroad corporation. The pur-
chase price was exactly 10 per cent
of the bonds.
The stockholders of the Denver 4
Rio Grande recently lost in an at
tempt to attack the $3s,00O,O0O judg-
ment on the ground that it was OBJ
tanned thru fraudulent manipulation Of
the roads finances. They appealed
from the decision Of Judge Lewis, sew.
eral days ago, 30 the United States
circuit court of appeals, but the for
NAL transfer Of the property will not
he held up pending the outcome Of
tne appeal, it is said.

NUMBER IN PRISON
NEARING RECORD

Canon City, Colo, July 26.-The
count at the Colorado state peniten-
tiary shows prison population of 1872,
which is the highest for several years,
and which is nearing the high-water
mark of ante-prohibition days.
Following the adoption of statewide
prohibition, the prison population
gradually decreased from more than
800 to something like $50, the coun,
on Nov. 80, 1918, being 561, or 221
less than that Of today.
Warden. lyman attributes the great
increase in the number of prisoners
during the last two years to the post
war crime wave that has swept the
country and filled the prisons of every
state in the Union. Had the saloons
been open during the last two years
there would not be room in Canon City
prison to accommodate the population
in the opinion Of the warden.

Special Letter Urges Uniting
Of Farm, Exports and Rail
Funds in One Agency
SEC. HOOVER APPROVES

Washington, July 26.-Broadening
OF the powers Of the war finance co.
poration, making it the great govern
mcnt agency for bringing about tn,
necessary economic establishments
will be suggested by President Har.
ding today in special communication
to congress, according to forecasts to
night.
The special letter, it has been All
nounced, will deal primarily with the
proposed financial settlement betwe,
the government and railroads. But
according to statements by admins
tration leaders, it probably will go
further and recommend not only that
the war finance corporation take
charge Of the railroad settlement, but
also that Il be placed in direct and
practically sole charge Of farm credits
and export financing.
Secretary Hoover said today t
he had recommended such = plan
that his recommendation had been ap-
proved by Secretary Mellon and Eu-
gene Meyer, Jr., managing director of
the war finance corporation.
lnvesriea' fOn, he said, had con
vinced him that the broadening of
the finance corporation S powers thu
legislation permitting it to han
adequately the triple problem was
the proper course to pursue.
Funds for speeding up business, he
asserted, could be made available by
the corporation without great drain
on the treasury. The corporation is
empowered to issue bonds up to six
times its capitalization of $500, 900, 900.
However, according to finance cor
roration officials, that organization
has on account with the treasury Of
more than 100000, 900 so that bond
issue would not be necessary until
that sum was exhausted. Payments
to the roads, however, are expected
to clean out quickly the account with
the treasury.
In connection with the necessary
government financing to meet the
first call for funds for the railroads,
it was indicated at the treasury that
an issue of treasury certificates
would probably DO made Aug. l. II
was thought, however, that the next
issue Of the treasury new short term
notes would not be nosted until Sep
TENDER.
