SPRAY YOUR PEACHES NOW
AND SAVE THE FRUIT

Many reports have been coming in
to this office of injury to peaches and
aprlcots caused by the Coryneum
Blight, otherwise known as California
Peach Blight, Brown Spot, Fruit Spot
or Shot.hole.
This disease makes it's appearance
in the form OF small circular cankers
on the twigs, leaves and fruit. on
the foliage the diseased parts soon
drop out, leaving a shot.hole effect IL
is from these spots that the spores
are spread during damp weather and
which cause new infection to occur.
Spots already on the fruit and foliage
cannot be killed by any application of
spray but further infections can he
prevented by applying the proper
spray at this time followed by another
application in three weeks.

THE FOURTH DISTRICT

The farmer and the stockman are
sizing up the matter of being repre-
sented in Congress from the Fourth
Congressional district by a man to
whom they can rely upon, and who is
in sympathy with their views.
There is absolutely no division among
the producer, whether he be a beet
grower, stockkrower, or what not,
when it comes to the question Of the
tariff.
The opposition party and the oppo-
sition press are loud in their praise
of denouncing the tariff as the bunk. y
1t is very easy to ridicule anything,
but what is offered, or was Altered
from 1912 to 1920, which proved to the
producer to be better? Surely not a
revision downward will help the agri-
cultural interests, or the livestock in
dustry.
The Republican tariff has greatly
benefited this section in the way of
stabilizing the sugar beet industry
and the livestock man.
The sheepman and the cattleman
alike are satisfied. They do not want
to return to free South American meat
products by any means.
The Delta beet grower is quite
well satisfied with the price paid for
his sugar beets. With the proposed
tariff of 81 per hundred on sugar,
with a differential of 20 per cent for
the Cuban crop would bring the price
down to so cents per hundred. The
present tariff is 1920 with a 20 per
cent differential for Cuban, making a
net protection of s1.76.
Reduction in the tariff would result
in the foreign refinery unloading their
sugar upon the American market,
thereby forcing the price to so low a
level as to force the American refiner
out of business.
Think it over!

Business Man Speaks.
One Of the events Of the day was a
speech from the business mans sec
ton Of the convention. Frank D.
Matthews, Of Freeport, H., was invit-
ed to tell what the business men thot
of LaFollette. He did, in this fash
ion:
"The best proof that Senator LaFol-
lette is not radical is to be found
in his legislative record. In place of
being found a radical, Senator LaFol
lette will become known as the most
careful and conservative statesman
Of our generation"
He continued his speech with long
argument for the re-establishment of
free competition in industry, to such
an extent that the tired delegates ap-
plauded in order to drown him out and
finally drove him from the platform.
Thank the Police.
The greater part Of the day was
spent in speeches by celebrities and
in singing hymns, as on the day be-
fore. The business of the convention
was being decided in the committees
and it was apparent that the machine
in control didn't want any discussion
Of the reports, so held them back so
that they could be damned thru with
out the delegates having anything to
say about them. So far as the six
hundred delegates who sat on the
floor Of the convention are concerned,
they might as we'll have stayed at
home and let the national committee
run the show. Their only consolation
was the series of platitudinous speech
es, which followed one after the other.
The convention closed with a vote
of thanks to the police for the care

proaches to the convention hall.

Monster Profit.
Another report of a congressional
committee, which was at first SUI
pressed, and later printed in contract
ed form, declares, 1.-THE policy of the
company in crushing competition by
unfair methods, dismissing employees
and increasing prices has resulted in
an enormous increase in the profits Of

five or six million dollars a year, the
trust steadily increased its profits

til then he wouldn't interfere.

belonged to the same union as the

his conversation it could be gathered
that his sympathies were with the

we were up against stiff proposition

The states officer then told Of the
last strike that occurred at Bunte's
and how the company employed the
most ruthless measures in suppress
ing 1t. He told of the large NUMBER
OF POLICEMEN CALLED out to
suppress the first struggle of the
young Bunte workers for better condi-
tons. The officer again stressed the
anti-union activity of Bunte's-but
wished them success.
A league newsie asked one of the
girls how in the world could they
stand such work (standing up all day
and going and coming regularly from
cold into hot rooms, with consider
able change of temperature.) The
reply was: 1--WE get used to it," or
lin view of the bad times to secure
work any place is better than none"
Their attitude is one of accepting
their present employment as tenn
porary and not one believes that they
are doomed to work in this place for
any length of time.
Places such as Bunte's which en-
ploy predominately young people and
pay starvation wages for physically
wrecking work, is the last link that
the young girls and boys cling to, in
preventing themselves from becoming
prostitutes and criminals. Some times
the latter course is chosen, as life
full of continual struggle gets dis
gushing and when dependency sets
in, 1t is only matter of time. This
incident is one of the many taking
place. showing how capitalism breeds

There we found the chief guard. Our

that it is a semi-monthly publ
cation.
The Young Worker is being dis
cussed in great detail by the Bunte
employees, especially the article ex-
posing the rotten conditions in the
plant and the economic demands of
the League. But since it is impossi-
bic to grasp the full meaning Of the
campaign thru the articles in the
paper, the mass meeting was called
to give complete explanation.
Skinned to the Last.
Not satisfied with extracting huge
profits from low paid labor, the cafe
terra finishes the job of exploitation
by making profit out of the employees
even during their daily half-hour of
leisure. Every one is expected to eat
in the plant and the five or ten who
have time to step outside the factory
doors buck up against a rule which
says they shall not eat in neighbor-
hood eating places.
With only a half an hour for lunch
the premature wage slaves have in
sufficient time to rest their tired feet
and bodies while under these circum-
stances, digesting the food is rather
difficult and the appetite is blunted.
Some members of the League, while
trying to hold an outdoor meeting in
the evening, were approached by a
young girl working in the factory,
who said: There is no use for you
to hold a meeting as we are too tired
and hungry and want to get home
as quickly as we can. This is the
reason for the others in not stopping
to listen"
This girl, who was fifteen years of
age, expressed the general opinion
Of all the employees.

A girl member of the League who

was approached by another girl work
ing in the factory who said that the
exposure of conditions in the YOUNG

piled: Conditions in my department

boxes.
