Twig Blight In
Apple Trees Frequent

Many apple growers may not
have noticed that their trees this
year, following our very wet June,
show dead twigs and even small
branches. A careful examination
will show some of these tufts of
brown leaves among the living
green ones in a majority of the
trees. The death of these twigs
is due to bacteria invading the
growing fruit at blossoming time,
killing the growing end working
back for some inches into the stem
of the plant. These bacteria in
wade the growing layer just under
the bark and kill it.
The death of a few twigs is a
small matter but the living bacte-
ria hold over in the bark of the
plant and will spread the twig
blight and probably give rise to
the death of large branches and to
serious cankers on the larger limbs
and trunk next summer if condi-
lions are at Ill favorable. The
present time is good one to clean
out these centres of infection as
they can now be easily seen, says
DR.. B. F. Lutman, Pathologist of
the Vermont Experiment Station.
The twigs or branches should be
pruned, the cut being made several
inches back of any dead bark so
as to remove all traces of the bac-
terra. The pruning tools should
be disinfected after each cut by
dipping them in a solution of bich-
loride of mercury Il part in 10000,
one ounce in eight gallons of
water, in a wooden pail. The cut
on the tree should be disinfected
also by wetting it for a moment
with a sponge tied to a wooden
pole dipped in the same solution.
This solution is a deadly poison
and caution must be used in keep
ing it away from animals.

Vital Sermon by DR..
Tibbetts at Newport
Continued from page y

tistics, which he said showed that
the Mormon church controls six
states, and has the balance of
power in eleven states.
Dr.. Tibbetts declared that the
country is faced with great perils
and the gravest problems, but he
breaches the doctrine of optimism.
Optimism is Gods program, pessi-
mism has no place in Gods plan.
Not a blind optimism, but with
eyes open we are able, with Gods
help to overcome our enemis and
save the land, for righteousness
exalteth a nation, but sin is a re-
proach to any people"
America has had greater gifts;
she has also greater responsible
ties. Other nations Z have had
wealth, intellectual supremacy and
power, and have gone down. Any
nation that does not give God the
place that belongs to Him will be-
come nation Of the past.
In the afternoon DR.. Tibbetts
addressed a body of women, not
large but interested representatives
Mrs. Ida E. Jenne, led in the
opening service and introduced the
speaker, Mrs. John Wilson sang
beautiful solo at this meeting
and again at night.
DR.. Tibbetts addressed his au-
dience along the same line as in
the evening. He said in part:
"The most important element in
the life Of the nation is the wom-
anhood of that nation. By the
high or low standard of the wom-
anhood is a nation raised or low
cred. The nations future depends
on maintaining the sanctity of
the home and the dignity of wom-
anhood.
Any power and any organiza-
ton that is an impeachment to the
velopment of this sacred institu-
ton should be dealt with until our
land is made safe to the woman
hood of the world.
DR.. Tibbetts, of course, is
champion of woman's rights and
traced her gradual evolution to the
present stage of an industrial, So
cial and political status of equa
rights and privileges. He told a
story Of the late Susan B. An
thony, who at one time tried to
find a hall or church in which to
speak in Boston but without
avail. She then obtained permits
sion to address a meeting on Bos-
ton Common, and every church
was asked to make the announce
ment. But one church acceded to
the request. This was the pastor
of the Park street church who said
"On such day and at such an
hour a hen will try to crow like
a rooster
"After all", said DR.. Tibbetts'
81 don't see any good reason why
a hen shouldn't crow, if she knows
how, nor why a woman shouldn't
whistle if she knows how"

BAILER BRINGS
OIL AND WATER
ON ABEL LEASE
California Estimates Flow at
Four Barrels an
Hour.

The California company well on the
Able lease in section 26-35-2W, acre
age taken over from the Homestake
Exploration, was bailing oil and water,
with the oil estimated at four barrels
an hour Friday, according to reports
from Shelby.
The report was that the well was
showing more oil as the bailing pro-
crossed and that it was Impossible 10
lower the fluid below 400 feet The
fluid was being collected in a pond SO
that it was difficult to estimate the true
production.
Tanks on Ground
A pump will be installed and -four
250-barrel tanks are already on the
ground. As soon as the pump is IN. the
fluid will be pumped to the tanks from
the well and an accurate measure OF
the production obtained. There was no
question among oil men but that the
well will prove a good one.
The California Morton well In sec
ton 1892 W. had from go to 20
feet of oil in the hole Friday, as com
pared with $50 feet the day. before, 1t
was stated at Shelby. The fact that the
oil had risen through heavy cav1ng IN
the bottom of the well caused oil men
to be confident that q good well Will be
obtained. California men in Great Falls
Friday said that they were well pleased
with Developments at both properties.
The 10-inch casing was at o feet Fri
day and is expected to be down IN three
or four days.
The Gladys Belle, on section 1885
2W. bailed all day Friday without low
ering the oil below 1000 feet, it was
reported. causing oil men to believe
that it will prove even a better wei!
than was first reported. Officers OF
the company announced that it will not
be bailed further at this time, Tubing
has been ordered and a pump is expect
ed to be installed within the next few
days.
Drilling Picks Up
Considerable drilling activity Is start
ing up in the neighborhood of the well.
The Gladys Belle made a second loca-
ton on the NEASEA section 1885
Wv, on the Freyberger lease. l.. &.
Stevenson, president of the Sunburst
Oil & Gas, who is now in the field,
telephoned to officers of the company
that three locations had been made and
that materials for the first rig have
been ordered and erection will be start
ed TODAY. The other two will also be
drilled at once. The Three In One is
also said to have an offset TO drill to
the Gladys Belle.
The Sunburst has acreage on three
sides of the so acres held by the Three
In One and Gladys Belle. officers an
lnOunced, and the new wells will be 10
Gated on this, the Thornton lease.
Stevenson reported that the well had
been bailed at the rate of "A barrels
and hour and is a 'crack-a-jack." He
said II was oil of a good grade and sp-
parently good gasoline content.

News Of State Oil Fields
FIELD NAMES
BOYCE CUSHER
THE CEYSER"
Water Flow Resembles Action
of Natural Fountain in
Yellowstone.

"The Geyser" is the name that has
attached itself to the Boyce
well on section 23-36-2w, according to
g. G. Harris, Great Falls attorney,
who returned from the field Friday.
THE name is an appropriate one"
he said. when the well was flowing
freely and before it was turned into
the tank, it looked just like a geyser.
The water is a rusty color and when
flowing it never nit less than four feet,
then would start to rise with the head
of gas, each squirt mounting higher
until it was a column of spray as high
as the derrick. To anyone who has
seen the geysers In play it is said to
be an almost exact reproduction of such
high ones as Old Faithful of Yellow
stone park.
THE fluid was being turned into a
reservoir when I was there. The oil ia
brought to the top and the water drawn
off. 1t was making a little oil, but
the amount cannot be known until the
settling has been carried further.
II was at the Gadys-Belle well
about three hours after it came in.
All that has been said of that well is
justified, as it is undoubtedly a good
one. It has been largely responsible
for the new feeling of optimism that
has pervaded the entire district.
Everyone is now certain that things
have gone beyond the wildcat stage
and the success of operations is as
Eured."

The Mid-northern Oil company is
pulling its casing in its well on the
Big Elk structure and will abandon
the hole, according TO Guy Craig, field

Great Falls Friday on his way north.
The Big Elk hole was started by the

that the hole was carried 80 feet into
the Madison without en%countering any
oil and that the company would not
again drill the structure. The hole
was carried to a depth of 1885 feet.
At Ringing, where the Mid-northern
is drilling a well at record altitude,
drilling will be begun early next week,
Craig reported. In Cat Greek, the
company has six strings OF tools ope-
rating in drilling offset obligations on
