deficit and the educational appropria-
tons bill. Governor Christianson and
Senator A. j. Rockne, chairman of the
senate finance committee, have been
holding a number of conferences the
past week, and the reports are that
they are getting together. Men
ton was made last week of the move
to bring about peace by a group of
senators, half of whom are adherents
of the governor and the others free
lances or independents. 1t seems that
each side will concede a little to
the other and that in order to keep
the appropriations down to $40, 900 900
or thereabouts the expedient of issu-
ing state certificates of Indebtedness
for couple of million dollars, or so,
will be resorted to.
An Investigation of irregularities in
state securities will be made by the
Ramsey county attorney, if resolu-
ton recently introduced in the state
senate is adopted That resolution
was prepared and submitted by the
rules committee and is as follows, in
part:
"The committee on rules heard the
testimony of large number of wit
nesses bearing on the activities of the
former commissioner of securities and
the department of commerce, with
respect to the issuance of licenses or
permits to sell stock in corporations,
and the refusal to issue licenses for
the same, but more particularly in
regard to the license to sell stock in
the said Hard Stone Brick Company
of Duluth, and the said Hard Stone
Brick Company of Little Falls.
THAT from such testimony this
committee has found evidence of ir-
regularities in the conduct of the Of
flee of the former commissioner of Sc
curities which in the opinion of this
committee are direct violation of Sec
ton 1910, general statutes of Min
nesota, 1923, pertaining to malfeas-
ance in office. That outstanding
among such acts, which in the opin-
ion of this committee constitute vio-
latiOn of said section, in the willful
alteration of the records of said COM
mission instigated and done by the
former commissioner of securities
with an apparent fraudulent intent and
in the interest of certain persons who
were vitality interested in and bene-
fitted by such change in the official
records of said department.
"The committee does not feel that
it is proper at this time that an in
vestigating committee of such acts
or activities of the said official should
be appointed, but feels nevertheless,
that such acts or activities should be
investigated by the proper authorities
constituted by law for such purposes
'The committee recommends that
the aforesaid resolution be indefinitely
postponed, but that such information
as now is in possession of this COM
mittee be turned over and made
available to the attorney general of

SPRAYING TIME NEAR AT HAND;
WHAT TO Do

The spraying program for apple
trees in Minnesota calls for three at
tacks with arsenate of lead and lime
sulphur-the first when the first
flower buds show pink, the second as
soon as the petals drop from the
flowers and before the calyx closes,
and the third the last week of June
Or the first week of July. One and
a half pounds of powdered arsenate
of lead, five quarts of liquid lime
sulphur or four pounds of the dry
are the right proportions for SO gal
Ions of water.
The same spraying combination
should be used four times on plums
to get the best results: First, just
before the blossoms open; then just
after the petals have fallen; third,
when the plums are the size of small
peas, and fourth, when they begin
to color. Spraying should always
be done under high . pressure-2OO
pounds or more.
The oyster shell scale, an insect
which lives on the sap of apple
trees, is doing much damage in Min
nesota orchards, says A. G. Ruggles
of the division of entomology at Uni
versity Farm. eve have found" he
says, ."that lime sulphur, purchased
either in the wet or dry condition, is
very effective against this pest if
used at the right time. If liquid is
purchased it should be diluted at the
rate of one part to eight parts of wa
ter; if dry, at the rate of Is pounds
to so gallons of water. These solu-
lions are known as dormant sprays
and should be applied when the buds
are just getting ready to burst in the
spring. If applied after that, the
leaves are likely to be badly burned"

SYNTHETIC GASOLINE
PATENT IS PURCHASED

NEW YORK, Aug. IA ten
tative agreement has been maGe
by Walter c. Teagle, president
of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, and the German Dye
Trust, whereby his company Will
take over the American right on
the Bergius patents for making
synthetic gasoline from bitumin
GUS coal. Details as to terms,
which have not yet reached the
New York office, are subject to
confirmation by the directors.
The arrangement with the Ger
man Dye Trust is regarded as a
protective move on the part of the
New Jersey Company in the event
of a shortage of crude oil in the
future. No early production of
synthetic gasoline is believed like
ly, partly because of the present
oyersupply of crude petroleum and
the fact that the synthetic pro-
duct cannot be produced at a
price to compete with gasoline
refined from oil.
Representative of the German
interests have claimed the coal
process would permit production
of gas at 10 cents a gallon.
