FRUIT UNFIT
FOR MARKET
To- Be SAVED
(By Staff Correspondent

LA FERIA. july 25.-The new
state green fruit law which goes
into effect this coming season viii
probably meet with greater favor
among the growers than the old
law, according 70 Lowell Clark,
prominent La Feria raiser OF cit
u
Bill Appeals
He said that orchard inspection
appealed to the grower a great deal
more than packing shed inspection
Of fruit for a number Of reasons.
For one thing, he pointed out,
the grower will know before ne
picks hts fruit whether or not he
will be permitted 70 market i.
When fruit Is inspected at the ship
ping shed as was the case under
the old law, II meant that the fruit
which did not pass required tests
had to be destroyed. The grower
took the risk OF losing his picked
fruit.
Under the new law the inspectors
will begin with the smallest fruit
and test each size until they find
one which passes. Then that size
and all larger than that can be
picked and marketed. 10 Is believed
that IL will not be necessary 70
test as much fruit under these con-
ditions.
Has Good Points
Under the old law, fruit from
different orchards might pass the
test at the same time. Then a rain
might strike one orchard. causing
the sap TO rise and disturbing the
acid-sugar ratio to the extent that
the fruit would not pass although
A. was still OF good eating quality.
Orchard inspection Is expected TO
eliminate this state OF things.
It was thought at first that or
chard inspection would be too x
pensive. Then II was decided that
IL was the best TO have a good, en-
forceable law than n which can
be evaded or which does not serve
its purpose.
Mr.. Clark Is OF the opinion that
AZ probably win be necessary TO
amend the law from time TO time
but that the present statue Is a
considerable improvement over the
first.

BOtuliSm to Blame

Hunters who blame the presence of alkai in certain
western lakes for the death of millions Of ducks an
nually, will have to revise their theories, according t.
experts of the federal department of agriculture.
The department also used to hold to the idea that eX
cessive quantities OF alkali was the cause of the death
Of wild fowl in certain parts of the west. But its experts
fed alkali to ducks and other birds under all sorts OF
conditions and failed to make the birds i'll with the same
kind of malady which was killing their fellows in the
lakes and marshes.
The bacterial theory had been discarded once, but
finally they went back to it. BY making cultures from
the tissues of ducks killed by the disease, they were able
to infect other ducks. They now regard the essential
part of the mystery as having been solved. Much re-
mains to be learned but the scientists expect to ferret
out the details of the secret which has caused sports
men SO much alarm.
It appears that the germ which is causing the trouble
is a new one in this country. About 10 years ago it
was discovered in America for the first time in the larvae
of the green fly Qucilia caesar) and since then some
outbreaks of botulism have occurred in several parts OF
the United States among domestic chickens, ducks and
swans. 1t is botulism, they say, which has killed so
many wild fowl.
Much as they were mistaken as to the cause, however,
sportsmen who have sought to prevent the loss of ducks
by sickness, have been pursuing the right tactics. the
scientists find. The maintenance of deep, fresh water
and the elimination Of areas of mud flats is the method
recommended.

know 1t. The humblest country minister occasionally has
a better understanding of things than the expensive city
specialist.
But in the past everyone concerned tried to pretend
that the pastor and the physician occupied distinct fields,
which never overlapped. Doctors did not tell their pa
tients to go and talk with their ministers, nor did min
listers tell their parishioners to go and get psyche
analysed.
Nowadays we are beginning to know better. It will be
interesting to see what success this clinic has. Our
notion is that it ought to work well. And If the expert
ment foreshadows a joining of hands of science and
faith, it is so much the better.

George Had Speed

In another month this nation will again celebrate the
birthday anniversary of George Washington.
The man has grown to be a tradition in America,
a young land with relatively few traditions. He stands
forth in the pages of our history as a granite faced man
with an inflexible will and a great genius for the leader
ship of his fellows.
We speak of him in terms of sincere if awe-struck at-
lection and the names which have been applied to him
after years Of oratorical competition ring in our ears.
We know of him as "The father of his country" as
This Nations First Citizen" as First in War, First In
Peace and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen."
But how many of us know of George Washington as
an impetuous lover who met a girl one day and became
engaged to her the next. And what's more he married
the girl, too.
Ordinarily, in reviewing Washingtons heroic quail
tiles, we lose sight of the fact that he was eminently
human, also, and that speed in making love was one
of his warmest human attributes.
1t is no undertaking novelist who gives us this in
sight into Washington,s love affair but the George
Washington Biccntennial commission, an organization
of earnest men and women who are arranging a big
celebration of the mans two hundredth birthday ami
versary.
The commission tells us, in brief, that in May, 1853,
Washington was Fastening from his home to Williams
burg on a military mission. At Williams Ferry over the
Pamunkey river he met a Major Chamberlayne. who in
vited the young soldier to his home. Washington, refused,
but, when the major mentioned that Mrs. Martha Gusts
was stopping at his home and again renewed his invita-
ton, Washington accepted. 1t seems that George had
seen and heard of Mrs. Gusts. then widowed for only
/ a year, on some previous occasion.
Washington intended to stay only to dinner. He left
Bishop, his man servant, standing in the courtyard to
hold the horses and the sumption was that he would
resume his journey after a short stop.
But Bishop waited for hours and finally was told they
would remain at Major Chamberlayne's all night.
The next day Washington went to Williamsburg but
on his way back to his home stopped at the Gusts home
on the Pamunkey, where Mrs. Gusts was expecting him.
When he left q few days later he took with him q
promise of marriage. He did not see his bride-to-be
again until December but they were married January
6, 1859.
And so it would appear that Washington had charm"
as a lover as we'll as skill as a soldier. Perhaps the
two go well together. At any rate modern youth, with
all its assumed impetuousness, would have to show un-
common speed indeed to equal Washingtons record.
Bucl-ague is what you have the first time you shoot
the buck. You never saw anybody with %bull-ague. .

The Capitol Will Not Be Moved
Dunn County JournaD

Dunn County JOurnaD
A number of people are becoming greatly exercised
over the prospect of a battle by New Rockford and
jamestown for removal Of the state capitol to one OF
those points.
It is safe to assume at this time that the capitol will
be as it always has been since statehood, at Bismarck
The reason for this is that the U. S. government in max
ing the land grant did so with the intent and purpose
of being of assistance to the people of this state II
securing sufficient grounds for state governmental use
That's one reason, but there are many others that are
probably just as good, and some of them better.
The state government owns large tracts of land near
Bismarck and Mandan, and two of our largest instltu-
lions are located at those two points-the penitentlary
and the S. 7. S., both have considerable acreage; to say
nothing of the advantages of being placed on the bank
of a navigable stream, the Missouri.
There is no reason for getting excited about THE
two towns starting something, because both have started
a movement for removal with selfish motives, and their
individual antagonism will defeat the removal if nothing
else does.

A Sound Program
New Leipzig Sentinel)

VVGW ItIPZIB OCICI1cP
The American Farm Bureau federation proposes that
state legislatures take steps to extend road building
operations this winter, pointing out that such a pro-
gram will relieve unemployment, aid In bringing busl-
ness back to normal and at the same time use public
funds to advantage.
Strong arguments support this. Money can be o.
tanned by states at the lowest rate Of interest in years;
construction material can be purchased at prices far un'
der normal: engineering and other technical talent L
likewise available at a lower cost and there is a plentiful
supply of labor. The time is ripe for unprecedented
road building activity.
The roads themselves, entirely aside from the influence
their construction, would do a great work in advancing
prosperity. The present farm depression-which Is
related to the industrial pression-contribu to by
inadequate road transportation facilities. Millions OF
farmers, during a part of each year find themselves cut
off from their markets.
We have all heard the slogan. Buy now and bring
prosperity back" That is as true for governments as
for individuals. And our states can buy nothing OF
greater value than roads.

Both Should Be Treated Fairly
Duluth Herald)

Minnesota railroad employees and their companies
want both the state and the government to do some-
thing about the bus and truck lines.
The railroad brotherhoods are asking the state legs-
lature to increase the taxes on BUSES and trucks SO that
they will pay as much in proportion as the railroads
have to do under the gross earnings tax. They also
urge. among other things, regulation OF the Loads that
trucks are allowed to haul on state roads.
The companies are devoting their attention to the
federal angle CT the problem, and one of their officials
told the Interstate Commerce commission that govern

Is 9 fact that tie railroads are handicapped and that
In the interest Of the public some adjustment must b

The whole field Of commercial motor transportation
calls for impartial study, and if the truck and bus lines
are not paying q fair share of highway costs, which most
people believe they are not, the legislature has the
remedy.
