With the official arrival of
spring, Erling Swenson, director
of the division of Game and Fish,
warned Minnesota residents that
this time Of the year is most inn
portant from the standpoint Of
game. This Is the season when
game birds mate and raise their
broods Of young, Mr.. Swenson
said. He pointed out that "fav-
orable season menas large healthy
broods and that an unfavorable
one with prolonged wet cold
weather spells disaster for count
less young quail, pheasants, grouse
and wild ducks"
Every effort must be made to
curtail the spring burning of
sloughs, marshes and grass fields.
Brush fires are particularly harm
full to wild life. It has been prov
en- that soil is harmed rather than
benefited through spring burn
ing"
Farmers can help during this
important time by leaving as much
suitable nesting cover as possible
on ground that will be least affect
ed by heavy rains or floods"
IF grass and brush burning
must be done, it should be accom-
plished early enough so that new
growth of grass may start early
and be tall in time to supply nest
ing cover and protection for the
young birds against natural enc
miles,"

10000, an average OF $6.75 per tel
ephone in service. The systems net
income was A. per cent on the
stockholders investment. At the
end of the year there were 675OOO
stockholders of the American COM
pany, of whom more than 100000
are Bell System employees. No
stakeholder owes as much as one
per cent of the stock outstanding.
The average holding per stockhold-
er being % shares.
Referring to the investigation of
the business of Telephone carriers
which has been undertaken by the
Federal Communications Commits
sion, as provided in the Communi-
cation Act of 1884, the report says
that the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and all Bell
System companies are cooperating
with the Commission with a view
to facilitating its investigation in
every way to the end that the Com
mission may be fully informed con-
corning the business of the Bell
System and the manner in which
1t Is conducted.
THE Quality Of telephone SER
vice, local and long distance, was
maintained throughout 1884 on
high level" the report says. "Criti-
cisms per 1000 telephones were the
lowest on record. More than nine
out Of every 10 long distance calls
were completed while the customer
remained at his telephone. In no
important item was there any fall
ing off in telephone service and in
many items there was improve
ment. Telephone service today is
more uniformly good than ever be-
fore"
The Bell System continued dur
ing 1894 to operate under the Pres
ident's Unemployment Agreement,
embodying a schedule of minimum
wages and maximum hours ap-
proved by the National Recovery
Administration. During 1884 the
System payroll was increased by
about $20,0O00O0 a year. At the end
of the year the System, including
the Western Electric Company and
the Bell Telephone Laboratories,
had 273,500 employees-about H.
TOO more than in August, 1885, when
the Bell System signed the rene
ployment agreement.

GET READY TO SPRAY
OYSTER SHELL SCALE

Oyster shell scale, one Of Minnie
sofas worst insect enemies Of
apple, lilac, cotonester, dogwood
and certain spirea can be most
effectively combated with a spray
application of lime sufpher or Of
oil, given just as the buds begin
to show green in the spring, says
A. G. Ruggles, state entomologist,
and professor of entomology, Uni
versity Farm.
In spraying, it Is very necessary
to cover thoroly the trunk,
branches and twigs. If lime sui
phur is used, the liquid form is
preferable to the powder. 1t
should be applied at the rate Of I
part to Z parts of water. This
strength of solution must not be
used after the leaves begin to ex-
pand, otherwise serious damage
may be done to foliage. IF an OIL
SPRAY is used, some well-known
commercial brand is recommended
and directions given by the manu-
facturer should be followed closely.
Nicotine sulphate added to the
regular sprays of the season also
help control oyster shell scale.
oyster shell scale winters over
in the egg stage, the eggs being
beneath the scale covering which
can be seen on the bark Of the
trunk and limbs. If not killed by
thoro spraying, these eggs will
hatch about the first week of June
into minute yellowish insects,
which crawl around for a Few
hours and then settle down for
life, thrusting their tiny beaks in
to the tree bark SO that they can
suck out sap.

largely because of shoe importa-
lions from Japan and Czechoslo-
vakia. The textile industry, ditto.
Last year we imported 1926, 900
square yards Of cotton cloth from
Japan. During the first two
months of this year we have al
ready imported 8,195,0O0 square
yards or 100000 square more than
for the entire IL months Of 1884.
And the worst part of it Is that
much Of that cotton Is produced in
China, India. Egypt and South
Africa.
Northern Minnesota contains
millions of acres of wood adapted
to the making of paper but there
is very little market for this wood
because we are buying our paper
from Canada, the Baltic states and
Russia Congress has BEEN too
cowardly to impose fair tariff on
paper because of opposition to the
newspapers. This deprives north
ern Minnesota of several million
dollars annually. Even the State
of Minnesota buys Japanese
matches for her state institutions
because they can be laid down in
this state cheaper than they can be
produced at the match factory in
Cloquet, and that again is depriv-
ing us Of our market for poplar
and other soft woods. The Clo-
quet match factory pays over 200,-
600 dollars in taxes to our state
each year, but we give preference
to the Jap who pays no taxes to us,
neither does he buy raw material
or employ our labor.
The manganese mines on the
Guyana Range are closed down be-
cause they cannot compete with
the masganese coming from Brazil
and Russia They also paid hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars to the
state in royalty taxes when they
operated, which now must come
out of the pockets of our tax
payers.
During the hearings on the Ad-
ministration's Reciprocal Tariff
bill a year ago, members of the
Presidents cabinet appeared be-
fore the Ways and Means Commit
tee, of which I am member, and
fatty declared that every Ameri-
can industry, including agriculture,
must stand upon dts own bottom
and any industry that could not
compete with their foreign COM
petitors I'M the home market would
have to get out Of business or go
into something else. That's a fine
doctrine Of Americanism, but one
that the American people will not
subscribe to. The American people
feel that they are entitled to
reasonable protection against the
cheap labor of other countries.
They know that we cannot bring
about return of prosperity by
buying from other countries those
things that we can and should pro
duce at home. We all know that
the IL million idle Americans can
mot be put back to work until we
have reopened our factories and we
cannot reopen our factories until
we safeguard them against the un-
fair competition of countries where
the pay is but a fraction, where the
hours of toll are much longer and
the standards Of living much lower
The American market rightfully
belongs to the American producer

there cam be no return Of pros
perity.
At a later date I hope to have
more to say upon this subject
which is of the greatest importance
to all of us.

The Garden
Department
By Ferdinand Wiener

It seems that the weather man
intends to be kind to US this
spring. The wild plants and the
grass appear not to have minded
the winter very much at all.
things look greener now than last
fall, and with our damp weather
the past few days. and with pros
poets for more, things promise to
be much earlier this season. Some
perennials already begin to push
upwards; bleeding hearts, irises,
gaillardias, tulips, oriental peoples,
hardy flax, and others.
The good gardiner keeps a note
book with notes arranged under
different headings. When the rush
comes, and everything must be
done at the same time in our state,
things are easily overlooked. Be
sides, II properly kept, such a note
book may become miniature cy-
clopedia-
When sowing seed, care should
be used that it Is not done too
thfckly. A potful Of crowded,
spindly seedlings will not give the
results like few, well developed,
stocky ones.
If colunbines are to be planted
this spring, jot it down for very
early planting, as soon as the
ground is fit for good handling.
Columbines are always best with
early planting. The same applies to
iris, especially if bloom Is desired
this season. Besides, it is better to
place fertilizer or plant about iris
now, than later on.
Professor A. G. Ruggles, the
state entomologist, advises that
gladiolus thrips may be killed If
the infested bulbs are stored at
constant temperature Of j6 degrees
Fahrenheit for two months. or at
40 degrees, for three months. Late
for this spring, but make a note of
this for next season. Or use nap
thalene flakes for this season.
Those interested in the new var
ieties OF gladiolus for this season,
will do well to plant those, which
are rated highest by the Minnesota
Gladiolus Society for 1884. The var
ieties are as follows:
Lavender varieties: King Arthur,
Minuet, Salbachs Orcn:d, red var
ieties: Aflame, Ramesses, DR.. F. E.
Bennett, Commander Koehl, white
varieties: Star of Bethlehem. Maid
Of Orleans, Jonks er Van Tets, pink
shades; Emile AubdLn, Picardy,
Mr. w. H Phipps, yellow Golden
Dream, coral: Betty Nuthal'. violet
purple: Veilchenblau, buff: Wasa-
ga, dark blue: Blue Admiral, Pei
egrina.
Do you have any of the dwarf
iris, Ids pumila in your rock gar
den? They will be in bloom within
a short time, and are useful in CIV
ing some of the earliest blooms for
the rockery.
Plant your Iceland Poppy early,
especially if using plants. Column
bines match well when used with
Iris, Day Lily, Iceland Poppy and
with Lupines.
If you have Tuberoses, bring
them out now, place in boxes or
pots with sand, keep warm with
plenty of light Do not water very
often.
Give Snowballs a dormant spray
of dime sulphur solution which II
applied now, while buds are still
dormant, will destroy the eggs Of
aphids which often infest this
shrub.
Also good time to sow lawn
grass while the soil Is still wet.
Shrubbery to be moved, or new
plants set in, should be done early,
as soon as the frost and soil condi-
fiOnS allow
