BLAME TONS S FOR FIzzLE
Failure Of Catcher Charity to Play
His ueual Good Game Caused
Senator'S Poor Showing.

One of the chic reasons for the
failure Of the Washington team to
make better showing In the Aineri-
can league last season vas the failure
Of Catcher Eddi Charity to play his
usual brilliant game. An attack of
neuritis in tie gil shoulder caused
Charity TO suffer With lame arm all
summer, which natI.~ally affected his
play in olher departments aside from
mere throwing Recently he under
went an operation for his tonsils
which the doctors claim will eliminate
the neuritis and restore the arm to
old-time form.

sticky substances upon the stigma,
hence invites, through its friend, the
bee, -pollination and aims to
prevent pollination BY having the
stigma located far above the anthers.
Without the aid Of the bees very
little, if any, pollen would ever reach
the stigma for the pollen Of the apple
is trifle sticky and, unlike that Of
Tie corn tassel which is powdery, it
cannot be conveyed by the winds.
After the pollen has been deposited
mon the STIGMA each individual grain
be rms to expand, due to the food and
the stimulus presented in the sticky
sugary substances on the stigma.
Soon each grain sends out tube
called pollen tube which penetrates
the top of the stigma and grows down
through the style to the ovary, where.
it reaches the ovules. .... 1t here
penetrates very minute opening ct
the apex Of the ovule, called the mic
ropile, and transfers male mucous
into the eggcell within the ovule.
The male sexual nucleus there unites
with the female nucleus of the egg
cell and completes the process Of fer
tilization. From this union develops
a cell containing protoplasm, nitro
genous living substance Of which the
most rapidly growing parts Of plants
are mainly composed. Each little
ovule in which the pollination took
place develops into an apple seed.
BY examinations extending through
number Of years it has been found
that If many Of the ovules in the
apple flower fail to become fertilized
(which, Of course results in unde-
veloped seeds) the apple will either
lack size or symmetry, or both. Since
this condition is true the fruit grow
ers should endeavor to furnish con-
ditions which win cause every ovple
Of every flower to become thoroughly
fertilized (pollinated). To bring =
bout good fertilization through cross
pollination is absolutely necessary.
Not only must each flower, we repeat,
be pollinated with the pollen from the
bloom Of trees other than itself but
each ovule Of every flower which is
to produce seeds must be polinated SO
that all seeds will form perfect.
When the seeds form perfect, then
the apple, protector Of the seeds
forms perfect. What does the pro-
less Of cross-pollination mean to the
fruit grower? It means that it is
potent factor, first, in the quantity of
and second in the size and
shape Of the fruit. 1t is process in.
which the flowers and the bees CO.
operate for each others good, pro
cess which is often termed simbiosis.
1t is process where a member of
the plant kingdom has modified its
structure for the purpose Of reaping
a benefit from member Of the ami
NAL kingdom, in this case the honey
bee, as pollen distributor"

THE HONEY BEE A MOST I'M
PORTANT ACTOR IN THE
PROMOTION OF CIVIL
ZATION
(By T. X. Massie)
Continued from last week

NOhGiAbN0 AANiAA ANASs WS~N
Mr.. T. j. Headlee Of Kansas,
large grower of winesap apples, in a
large orchard among which were To-
Gated several colonies of bees, select
ed two trees Of equal vigor and just
before the blossoms opened he erected
wire cage over each tree. A colony
Of bees was placed in one cage. The
other tree was barred from all in
sects from tie outside by the cage.
The Gagged tree with not bees did not
"set" one single apple; the tree where
the bees were set 225 fruits and the
trees in the orchard where the bees
could fly promiscuously from tree to
tree set from five to ten thousand
much more than they could support.
Tiis experiment demonstrated four
points; first the tree where no bees
could reach the blossoms demonstrat-
ed the fact that no fruit can "set"
till fertilization is had Second it
also demonstrated the incontroverti-
BILE fact that the wind cannot function
as distributor Of the fruit pollen
for if it could the pollen would have
been sifted through the meshes of the
wire screen. Third the tree where
the bees were only setting 225 apples
demonstrated the fact that self poll
nation lin-breeding) is abhorrent to
nature and a failure. Fourth the
trees in the orchard where the bees
carried tie pollen from tree to tree,
thus bringing about cross pollination,
having "set" more than they could
bear demonstrated the fact that cross
pollination must be had to secure
perfect crop of fruit.
Prof. 0. M. Osborne, head Of the
horticultural department Of the state
Normal School, Lewiston, Idaho, ex-
plains tie matter thus.
"The development Of the apple
from the blossom is very complex
biological process. 1t has been found
that size, shape of the fruit, the yield
per acre, and the time Of spraying
are all dependent upon environmental
conditions during blossoming time
which are, to a great extent, under
the control of man. To understand
these enviromental conditions let us
begin with t e flower itself. If each
part of the flower is carefully studied
it will be found that each one has an
important part to play in the forma-
ton and development Of the fruit.
Although not constituting any part
of fruit, and although dropping off
within a few days, the beautiful
white and pink petals serve as an at
traction for t e honeybee which visits
the flower to obtain the nectar from
the nectar glands which lie at the
base of the petals on the inner side. /
While climbing about the flower to
reach the nectar the bee brushes a.
rainst Il e stamens or male part Of /
the flower, and from the little sac
ike engagements or anthers at the
Top of the stamens, it receives d de-
posit of the powdery substance called (
pollen fthe formulating cells) which
adheres to the still hairs on the var
ious parts of the bees body. Now
VIZ en- it alights on the second flower
t brushes little pollen off Of it due

he anthers. The pollen so deposit

TWO BIG FAMILIES
UNITED AS ONE

With the marriage of Jacob
Schmierer, Paul farmer, formerly of
Minidoka, and Mrs. Rosa Schmierer,
Lasco, Wyoming, sixteen children
were brought into one big family.
Fourteen months ago, in the Wyo-
ming town, Mrs. Schmierer's hus-
band, brother of Jacob, died after a
Short illness, leaving eight children
fatherless. Three days later, on the
dry farm near Minidoka, the frau
of Jacob Schmierer succumbed after
being sick but few days, leaving
eight youngsters motherless.
Care of his eight children, with
out a mothers attention, was trying
to Jacob. Mrs. Schmierer found the
task of taking a fathers place in her
home difficult also. why not unite
the two families?' thought Jacob.
Mrs. Rosa Schmierer, nice look
ing, buxom woman of less than forty,
was willing. She and her eight kid
dies arrived here recently, and Mon
udy the DTiuc anu SFOOm came 10 LNe
county seat and secured the neces-
sary license, and they were married
Tuesday in Paul by the Congrega-
tional minister from American Falls.
I've got fine big families now"
says Jacob. 'and a wonderful frau.
With the help of my boys I'm looking
for more land to farm. We can take
care of big place now"
Jacob Schmierer is known as one
of the most industrious dry farmers
in the county; one of those honest
fellows who will use the same
strenuous efforts in making good on
irrigated lands as he has on the dry
farm. His wife, with brown eyes
that sparkle, and lips that will smile |
through adversities, will prove a |
real better half in mothering the big

TNDOMITABLE SPIRIT
rs EXHIBITED BY
BURLEY CITIZENS
Sentiment Strong for the American
Falls Bond Issue

Tom and Fred of the Republican
took a pleasure trip Friday of last
week over the southern part of the
state, visiting Buhl, Twin Falls and
Burley.
AS our readers are aware, Burley
was probably the hardest hit by the
slump of 1922 of any of the Ida
no towns, all four of her banks be-
ing forced out of business, and her
state bank, after being reorganized,
was again unable to make the grade,
failing for the second time.
But Burley seems to be inhabited
by a breed of individuals who abso-
lutely refuse to be downed, and all
one can hear in that center of Won
derful territory are words of opti-
mism and cheer. If there is a busi-
ness man in Burley who does not be-
lieye his town is on the march to-
ward aglorious future, the CONNER
cial club must keep him closely con-
fined, for we failed to find one in our
talks with the people.
1t is hard to down a people who
have such a sublime faith in their
home town as that exhibited by the
citizens of Burley.
The sentiment of the people all
over the Snake river valley seems to
be strongly in favor of the voting of
the bonds for the American Falls
project, and predictions are freely
made that it will carry by an over
vote.
The business men of Twin Falls
also report that business is on the
upgrade, and they, too, refuse to
look on the dark side of anything.

CONSCIENCE FUND INCREASES

Washington: Two more uninden-
titled citizens, troubled by uneasy
conscience have attempted to square
themselves with the government. AS
result, the treasury Monday re-
ceiyed two contributions, one of s140
and the other of $3.50 to its CON
scienc fund. One of the letters bore
a Florida postmark and the other
came from California. The Cali
fornia communication, unsigned and
undated, carried only little line
that "If the Lord forgives me, will
promise to be honest now and for

COWS BRING BIG
ALFALFA PRICE

On Newland project there is a Cow
Testing Association which tested in
March. $50 cows out of So herds.
TIE average milk per cow was 738
p9unGs The average pounds of but
te,fat were 2S.7. This was out
door dairying and on alfalfa hay
alone. One hundred sixty-four of
these cows produced forty pounds or
more of butterfat per month. The
average gross return per COW was
$15.62. Eleven hundred fourteen
pounds of skim milk and forty-fve
pounds of butterfat was produced for
each ton of hay consumed or one
pound of butter fat was produced for
each 444 pounds of hay.
At the average price of butterfat
and estimating skim milk at thirty
cents per hundred, the dairy herds
on Newlands project returned $24.49
for each ton of hay. This is a good
when the number of cows
is considered and that they are kept
under the same conditions that cows
on the Minidoka project are kept.
1t might be interesting to Mini
ioka farmers to find out if they re-
,eived $24.49 a ton for their 1922
nay crop, says John Montgomery

BAD BREAK IN
WATER SYSTEM
Flume Collapses on Boise
River Slope
STRETCH OF TUNNEL
rs DESTROYED
Force Working Hard to Restore
System Without Loss of Time
- 20-Day Supply

The Mountain Home water system
received a severe jolt Saturday
when the worst break in its history
occurred at the east entrance to the
last tunnel into Long Tom basin.
The break occurred just where the
fiume entered the tunnel, and in
short time the rushing water played
havoc with things in general.
The soapstone formation of the
hill pieced by the tunnel is very sus-
ceptible to the forces of water. and
the slides which followed destroyed
about sixty-flve feet of the tunnel be-
fore the water could be turned of.
S. e. Brady of the Brady Invest
ment Co. was notified at Pocatello OF
the break and arrived in Mountain
Home Sunday morning. He at once
wired for Engineer Franklin at Boise
and the latter came in Monday morn
ing and at once got busy on the job
of running new line for the east
entrance.
A force OF miners from HALEY
were at once secured, and these men
arrived Tuesday, being taken at once
to the scene of the break.
Those in charge of the repair work
believe that the washout can be re-
paired in ten days by utilizing all OF
the time, and are bending every eff
fort to complete the work with the
smallest possible loss of time.
There is probably 20-day supply
OF water for irrigation in the Long
Tom and Mountain Home reservoirs.
and II is believed that the water will
again be turned into the system from
Little Camas reservoir long before
the immediate supply is exhausted.
In the meantime our people are
urged TO see that the waste of water,
in the bitches is held to a minimum.

0nly-Matters To Be
Talked Over

A mass meeting of the water users
of the two Mountain Home projects
will be held Tuesday, May Is, at 1880
D. m, in the court house.
This meeting is called by the COM
mittee which was appointed two
weeks ago to talk things over with
the vaious holders of water rights
and to gain some idea of just how
. they felt in regard to the formation
of an irrigation district for the pur-
pose of taking over the water sys-
tenn
The chairman of this committee,
was instructed by the confreres to
communicate with the James H.
Brady Investment Co. and ascertain
from them whether or not they
desired to dispose of their interests,
terms expected. and like matters.
In answering this letter, S. E.
Brady for the company suggested
that 1T would be well for the Elmore
County Farms and the Cooperative
water users to endeavor to get to-
gether and iron out the various
obstacles, then when they had some
kind of an organization which could
speak for the water users as whole
the company would be glad to go
into the matter with them.
After digesting this communica-
tion, the committee decided that it
would be best for all concerned to-
shold mass meeting of those direct
ly interested and thresh the matter
out thoroughly, and have called the
Fmeting for Tuesday afternoon for
that purpose.
This meeting is for bona fide water
users only.
