ZINC SULPHATE USED
IN CONTROL OF ROSETTE

Little Leaf, or Rosette as it is more
commonly called in this state, has been
recurring to a considerable extent in
orchards within the last few years, ac-
cording to L. L. Claypool Horticulture
list at the Irrigation Branch EXperi>
ment Station at Prosser. 1t has been
known for some time that alfalfa and
sweet clover crops will in some way
cure this disease but several years
time is often necessary to bring this
about Investigations made by the Irri-
cation branch experiment station in
1882 with the cooperation OF the de-
partment of horticulture, State College
of Washington, has shown the trouble
to be cured when zinc was properly
applied to affected trees. Applications
of zinc sulphate have resulted in ire
mendous improvement even In one
year Trees that were in very bad con-
dition have been almost completely
cured. Although application OF ten or
more pounds of zinc sulphate to the
soil around the base of the tree have
resulted in improvement, the most sat-
isfactory method was that of injecting
small quantities of zinc sulphate dir
ectly into the tree during the dormant
season. This is done by removing some
of the earth from the base of the tree
and boring hree-eighths-inch holes
about three inches deep every four
inches around the base of the tree.
Into each hole is placed about three
grams or one-haf teaspoon of the
zinc suphate salt by means of fun
mel, after which the hole is sealed with
asphalt emulsion or grating wax in
order that healing processes may be
rapid The earth is then replaced
around the base of the tree. This
method is very inexpensive, the chief
cost being that of labor. However, care
Should be exercised by those using this
method, not to bore too large holes
in the trees or to apply an excess OF
zinc sulphate salt since considerable
injury might result from such a treat
| ment.

However, it is generally understood
that the bill will be signed by Cover

There will be no relief for the tax
weary public. It is agreed that the pro-
posals for increasing revenues OF the
state are not going to be satisfactory
to either the administration, the Leg
islature or the taxpaying public. In
addition, there will not be enough rev.
enue to meet the demands of the edu-
cational people.

next summer is becoming larger and

idea has been laid before Governor

It is expected that Roosevelt and
his advisors will by the middle OF June
present some kind Of relief program
demanding state action, and that leg

take care of the states program.
This is in addition to the demand for
more revenues which will be the basis
for special session, it is now rumored.
There appeared in the bill hopper
of the House last week one OF the

AWAIT SPECIAL RULINGS
Additional Surveys Of Local Sit
uation Planned; Two
Complaints Filed

Operation of the MIRA in Bismarck
has added l68 persons to local pay
rolls, Mayor A. P. Lenhart said
Thursday after a committee of bust
nessmen had reported on the way in
which the law is being observed here.
Although most Bismarck firms
have signed the presidents agree
ment, not all of them are living up
to the code, Mayor Lenhart said, and
the number of new jobs is expected
to reach 200 when all firms are &C
tually observing the new rules.
Some business places, he said, are
waiting on the adoption of special
codes for their industry before put
ting the act into effect
No check has yet been made on
whether the wage provisions of the
code are being observed, the initial
survey being merely to determine II
any additional workers had been
added to payrolls.
Another check to find out II the
hours OF work and wage requirements
are being observed will be made soon
The committee also will keep track
OF those firms which have not yet
done anything to justify the blue
eagle In their windows.
Meanwhile the committee had re-
ceived its first complaints Thursday
Others in the same business COM
planned against two local firms which
performs personal services, contend
ing that they are not observing the
short week provided by the MIRA.
+ ~, Want Assurance OF Action
Individuals connected with the
firms have indicated a willingness tc
testify on the points involved but
first want assurance that the COM
mittee is in earnest and that they
will not lose their jobs, Lenhart said
Two additional complaints regarding
price-cutting by two other firms have
been received from the same group.
The complaint committee of the
local MIRA organization has not YET
been appointed and the cases in
question were referred to the genera
committee, Lenhart said
He anticipates that an investiga.
ton will be made to determine the
facts and If adjustments cannot be
made here the cases will be referred
to General Hugh Johnson for action.
Lenhart said he believes public
sentiment in favor of the MIRA move
ment is gaining impetus and is count
ing on this fact to help drive recall
citrant firms into line.
It is obvious, he said, that the gov
eminent cannot permit any "chisel-
ing" else the whole program will fail
and those who are trying to do their
patriotic duty will be penalized.
If showdown comes, he said, 1t
may be necessary to recommend that
General Johnson order the blue
eagle off of some firm windows.
The price-fixing situation, already
contained in one complaint, also
must be worked out, he said.
