EXPERIMENTATION FACES ELK
HERD IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

Have the majority of the elk in
Yellowstone Park died from natural
causes or been killed during he past
year, or are they hiding in some re-
treat deep in the mountains? Thi,
question is worrying the forest offic-
ers of the Absaroka National Fores4.
for on ranges where ordinarily thou
sands of these animals could be seen,
only few have been observed this
winter.
Just why this is so no one seems to
know. One theory is that the open
fall and winter has caused the elk to
remain back in the higher and more
inaccessible portions Of the park.
Open falls in the past, however, have
not caused the elk to abandon their
usual customs or habits.
Whether the actual numbers now
comprising the Yellowstone band
have been greatly lowered during the
past year or not, say officials of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, it is at least true that the
shrinkage of the Yellowstone herd
during the past five years has been
alarming. In 1914, the Yellowstone
herd was estimated at about 25,0OO
In 1917, 1880 were counted out and
if the figures for the present year.
estimated by those in close touch
with the situation, are true, there re-
mains much less than half this mum
ber. In 1919, $500 head were killed
in the Yellowstone band, the super
visor Of the Absoroka National Forest
reports.
No herd Of wild aniamlS can sus-
tain an annual shl'inkagc in numbers
which the Yellowstone band has, for
any length Of time and not face COM
plete determination within few
years.

BASKET SHOOTERS.

The basket ball team of the Leaven-

went to Startup last Wednesday and
from there to Skykomish playing a
game in each place. In the first game
they went down to defeat before
Startup, 81 to 3S, and arrangements
have been made to bring this aggre-
cation over to play on the Leaven-
worth floor to ascertain whether they
are real team or just won through
lucky streak. Indications are, how
ever, that our bunch will have to go
some to defeat them even on our own
floor.
The game at Skykomish was cas-
lily won by our fellows by score of
32 to % for the west-side team. SO
far no arrangement has been made
with them for return game.

PRUNING DEMONSTRA ALTON AT
LEAVENWORTH a BIG SUCCESS
Good Crowd Out and Great Interest
Taken in All Branches.

The pruning demonstration held last
Wednesday in the Simons and Nc
Daniel orchards was very interesting
to the sixty-fvc or more people wh)
were present. Mr.. j. H. Hess, prun-
ing leader of LeavenWorth Farm Blu
reau, had spared no pains or effort to
make it success and his selection Of
the above named orchards was fortu-
nate, as they contained nearly every
kind of apple trees that are grown in
the Wenatchee valley, which gave the
demonstrators. VIM. Meikle. County
Agent. and Roy Larson, Soil Expert.
plenty of variety upon which to work.
Rome Beauty, Jonathan, Winesap
and Delicious were pruned in their
order and the characteristics of each
tree was taken up and explained by
Mr.. Meillle or Mr.. Larson in such a
lucid manner that many of those pres
ent gained some new ideas as well as
verifying many old we'll demonstrated
cuts and SlaShes that are so common
to those who make a business Of
pruning during the winter months.
Mr.. Hess, who is an expert pruner
by his questions brought out several
interesting points that might have
been otherwise overlooked by tho
gentlemen who were giving the dem
onstration. This is the first demon
stration Of any kind that has ever
been held at Leavenworth and al
though orchardists have been paving
taxes for number of years. the coun-
tY authorities have never given this
place any consideration and as a re-
suit our people We're compelled to get
along the best they could, but for tho
future we hope for better things and
expert help to attain them There
is still room in the Leavenworth farm
bureau for more members and it is
our wish that everyone interested in
any of the many branches of farm
ing would come and join with US for
the upbuilding of the farm interests

MILLION DOLLAR
DISEASE IN STATE
Potato Growers Can Save Crops b,
Seed Treatment.

Washington potato growers arc
losing million dollars every year
from one disease alone. This disease.
rhizoctonia, can be controlled to q
large extent by properly treating the
potatoes, according to George /.
Zundel extension plant disease
specialist of the State College.
There are two ways of controlling
rhizoctonia; first, the use of disease
free seed, and second the treatment Of
the seed before sowing. The selection
of disease free seed need not be men
toned any further but the chow" Of
treating seed potatoes needs atten-
ton. There are three general fun
gicides that are recommended for
seed treatment of potatoes; formal
dehyde, corrosive sublimate and cop
per sulphate or blue stone.
Formaldehyde will kill potato scab
but not rhizoctona. Recent investi-
cation with this treatment by Iowa
shows that where hot formaldehvde
is used it will control this disease.
To prepare the hot formaldehyde use
two pints of 409s formaldehyde to 30
gallons of water and dip the potatoes
for two misutes at between l1S deg.
and 122 deg. F. After the treatment
pile the potatoes six to eight inches
deep and cover with wet sacks for
sixty minutes.
Corrosive sublmate will kill the
rhizoctonia that occurs on the tubers.
The modern method Of using this poi
son is to wash the potatoes and keep
wet from twelve to twenty -four hours
then treat using four ounces of cor
rosive sublimate to thirty gallons Of
water, leaving the potatoes in from
thirty minutes to one hour. After
using the solution four or six times.
discard it and make a new solution.
Corrosive sublimate is very poison
Gus, so has to be mixed in wooden.
crockery or glass containers. Keen
it away from children and don't fee
the treated potatoes to stock
Copper sulphate or blue stone has
been used with good results for the
control Of rhizoctonia. IF this is used,
place three pounds of copper sui
phate or blue stone in fifty gallons of
water and soak the potatoes for two
hours. This was tried in Minnesota
and has not been used in this state
1t must be remembered that seed
treatment of potatoes is most effect
tive when the potatoes are planted
on soil free from rhizoctonia fungus.
This necessitates rotation in which
potatoes are planted on the same soil
about every three or four wears. Seed
treatment is always more effective
when clean, vigorous seed is used.

SCHOOL TEAMS LOST AGAIN.

The boys played Wenatchcc last
Friday evening and lost, l3 to %.
This must have been a good game for
when our team held the Wenatchee
boys down to 25 and scored Is them
selves they had to play hard. The
county seat team is recruited from a
large school and consequently should
be the stronger.
The girls had the Quincy team here
Saturday evening and lost to them,
Is to 10. This was also good game
and it seemed to US ought to have
been tie at the end of the second
half, for just before the last basket
was made by Quincy the ball seemed
to have gone out of bounds, but be-
ing recovered and a basket made so
quickly that it was allowed to stand.

Queen bees deteriorate after the

reliable breeder or reared by the bee
keeper from his better stock.
