MAY DRAFT DIXON
FOR SECOND PLACE
Mention of Governor for Coolidge S
Running Mate Spreads-West De-
mands Representation.


The following story appeared IN the
Helena Reccrd-Herald, the personal
organ of publicity for Governor DIX
on, in regard to Governor Dixon be-
ing a running mate of Calvin Cool
idge in the race for president ana
vice president of the United States.
There are indications that the west
will be asked to furnish the Repub-
lican candidate for vice president IN
the coming campaign, and Governor
Joseph M. Dixon of Montana, Tor the
last two months, has received consld-
cradle newspaper mention as pos
sibility. If Governor Dixon declines
to become the candidate, Governor
Richardson of California, Senator
Borah of Idaho, or Arthur Capper or
Henry Allen of Kansas may be sought
as President CcOlidge's running mate.
At any rate the political dopesters
seem to insist that the candidate OF
the Republican party for the vice pres
idency will come from the west this
time, and Governor Dixon seems to
top the list of possibilities.
Receives Widespread Mention
The first suggestion that Governor
Dixon be the candidate was made IN
a New York newspaper, and soon at
terward a Washington, D. G. daily
made the same suggestion. The idea
! then spread to Spokane dailies, and
later Pacific coast newspapers sug-
gested Governor Dixon.
E. Mont Riley, former governor
general cf Porto Rico. few weeks
ago gave out an interview in Wash
ington favoring Dixon as Coolidge's
running mate, his interview being car
ried by The Associated Press.

Potato Growers Should
Have Seed Plot Yearly

Every commercial potato grower
should get into the habit of growing
seed plot every year. Now is the time
to select the seed for this plot. If the
seed potatoes are to be taken out of
the general field, only uniform tubers
from good yielding hills should be Sc
lected by hand before the general dig
ging starts. The seed plot tubers so
selected should be put away in bar
rels or crates and stored in cool,
well ventilated place so that the po-
tatoes will be in the best possible
condition next spring. Enough pota-
toes should be selected to grow plot
large enough to supply all of the nee
essary seed potatoes for both the plot
and the field the following year.
Every grower who has had a seed
plot properly taken care of will fol
low this procedure and will then dig
the remainder Of his plot to be used
as seed stock for the general field.
A yearly potato seed plot furnishes
an easy and efficient method of OBJ
tanning good seed stock, keeping 1t
free from such diseases as black leg,
Fusarium wilt and Rhizoctonia, and
increasing the yield and quality of the
general crop.-A. G. Tolaas, chief In
spector Of the Minnesota potato seed
certification board.

Formula for Whitewash
to Preclude Sunscald

The best method of preventing sun
scald is by leaving on the lower
branches of the tree so that the trunk
is naturally shaded. However, 1t may
be beneficial in some cases to white
wash the trunks for the first year or
two until these branches develop
enough to furnish such shade.
A very good whitewash can be
made for use on the fruit trees by
the following formula: Quicklime, 30
pounds; tallow. four pounds; salt, five
pounds; water enough to make thin
paste. This mixture should be ap-
piled to the tree with brush as
soon after planting as possible and
should be renewed whenever neces-
sary until the second winter or until
the shade of the trees becomes ade-
quate to protect their own trunks.

: Orchard :
Inflammation
FIGHT MANY PESTS
FROM AIR MACHINE

An interesting development Of the
future, for commercial orchard COM
munities, is the possibility Of fighting
insect pests from the air on large
scale. Wherever trees have been pro-
tected by spraying or busting from the
ground, the same mixtures can be ap-
piled from the air. Experiments con-
Quoted by the army air service in CO.
operation with the United States De
partment Of Agriculture proved the
feasibility and practical usefulness Of
the method, and further studies are be-
ing carried on each summer with the
aim Of still further improving the ap-
paratus and perfecting the technique.
The advantages are obvious, for an
airplane flying at 60 miles an hour and
passing to and fro on lanes spaced 100
feet apart can cover 100 acres in half
and hour If enough of the busting pow
der to last for that length Of time In
continuous application can be carried.
Although the first experiments on
tree busting from the air were made
with airplanes, the airship has since
come into use for the purpose. Light
er-than-air craft, such as small dirigi-
bles of the Zeppelin type, the patents
for which have been recently taken
over by American manufacturers, have
many advantages for this work. They
carry crew Of several men, who are

so can readily make adjustments of
the apparatus or reload it. They may
be designed to have large reserve Of
lift, permitting the carriage of a sup
ply of powder for covering great deal
of territory in single flight. They can
be throttled down to any speed de-
sired, so that the application can be
made more or less intensive by vary
ing the rate at which the airship
passes over the trees. Finally, but
most important of all, the airship Is
immune from the danger Of the forced
landing. In order that the material
used for busting may be accurately dis
tributed where it is most needed, the

low, and If an airplane is used and
the engine fails when flying over an
orchard or forest 1t is of course un-
likely that a good landing field will
be at hand. Although forced landings
are rare when engines are properly
cared for, and they have been almost
unknown in the forest fire patrol, the
possibility of their occurrence does rep
resent hazard to the machine which
is non-existent in the case of the air.
ship. In any case, whether the ulti-
mate decision favors the airplane, the
airship, or a choice depending on local
conditions In each individual case, the
use of aircraft in the orchard for dust
ing may become practical reality.
At the present time it seems prob
able that it will only be used on large
acreages or in localities where the
smaller growers cooperate and have
their spraying and busting done at
the same time. Liquid sprays could
also be applied by the same method,
although there are some disadvan-
tages due to the excess carrying
weight of the liquid over the dust,
says the American Fruit Grower Mag
aZine.

Horticultural Notes

Do not neglect to spray apple trees
for the control Of bitter rot.
Make your plans now for planting
fruit trees and grapevines next fall.
Haphazard spraying is little better
than no spraying at all. Thoroughness
and timeliness count.
The strawberry is an especially good
crop for the home garden. 1t is adapt
ed to a wide variety of soils, and 1t is
comparatively free from injurious In
sect pests and plant diseases.
Remove diseased limbs from fruit
trees. This is especially necessary i'm
nsediately after harvesting the peach
crop.
The best thing to make currants,
gooseberries, ETC., to grow and bear Is
a heavy coating of sawdust around
each bush every year.
Strawberries. if picked slightly I'M
der-ripe and carefully packed, can, I'M
der proper refrigeration facilities, be
shipped hundreds of miles with no
loss.

Will Not Destroy
External Parasites
No Preparation Effective in
Food or Drinking Water.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
So far as is known by any Of the
scientists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture who have been
testing the claims of certain manufac-
turers of lice, mite and blue-bug prep
arations, there is no preparation made
that can be fed to poultry in the food
or drinking water that will kill exter
nal pests or parasites. There are be-
ing advertised and continuously Of
fered to the poultrymen numerous mis-
branded preparations for use in this
way by manufacturers who are either
entirely ignorant of the physiology OF
chicken or grossly INSCRIPTIONS.
These preparations are sold for the
most part directly to consumers by
parcel post.
Most of the products so advertised
are composed of various combinations
of such chemicals as sulphur. char
coal, calcium sulphide, capsicum. so.
dunn carbonate, naphthalene, sand
nux vomica, calcium polymephide, and
other ingredients. The insecticide
and fungicide board has recently made
tests of q number of these mixtures
and reports that in no single instance
has one been found to give the effect
claimed for it. The hoard further
states that it is of the opinion that 1t
is unlikely. that any substance will
be found which will control or kill ex
ternal parasites of chickens when fed
in the feed or drinking water.

that they cannot spare the time to
find good markets for their poultry
and poultry products. You can often
