Glencoe Immediately launched
strong counter attack that ended
on Redwood's 35 yard line with
tumble the visitors recovered.
Glencoe regained possession of
the ball and the third period end
Cd with Glencoe on Redwood
Falls 40 yard line.
Both clubs were firing in the
last period, but Redwood perked
up when Glencoe punt on their
own 40 yard line was blocked and
the ball rolled over 80 yards down
the field. That break gave them
the ball on Glencoe's 25 yard
line. R. .iwood staged a final rally
and with Lauterbach leading the
way battered through for the last
20 yards to Glencoe's goal.
Glencoe's eight first downs to
Redwood's five by scrimmage,
gave them a statistical advantage.
The lines were about on a par,
but RedwCod's secondary out
played Glencoe's backfield es-
pccially at blocking.

COUNTY ASSESSED
VALUE FALLS WITH
LIVESTOCK PRICES
TAX COMMISSION AC'
CEPTS FIGURES AS
SUBMITTED

Falling market prices of farm
animals are reflected in re-
duction of the assessed value of
personal property in Redwood
county this year.
All personal property is assess
ed at S1,837855 for 1888 compar-
ed with $1,852,209 for 1887, the
reduction in the value of livestock
more than offSetting increases in
other classes.
Ira Rogers, county. auditor, re-
ceived advice from the Minnesota
Tax commission this week that
figures submitted for both per-
sonal property and plated and
unplatted real estate have been
accented without change, except
possible changes in bank stock
and public utility properties.
The figures submitted to the
commission were prepared first
by the dozens of assessors through
the county, then worked over by
the board of equalization ard
finally put in shape for the COM
mission by the auditors office.
To accurately judge the value
of livestock in comparison with
the year before, Rogers obtained
figures from the South st. Paul
stockyards on comparative values
for all kinds of stock May ! of
each year. Where assessors had
been overly pessimistic, figures
for a grade cow, for example,
were raised and where the asses
sor was an optimist, the value was
lowered accordingly. Point is that
a grade cow in one part of the
county is worth, for tax purposes,
AS much as the average grade cow
in another.
Speaking of grade cows. $13.14
is the assessed value of each.
Livestock is assessed at one-third
true value. A purebred cow is
assessed at $16.56, a two year old
grade at S1028 and "full blood"
of the same age at $12.36. Grade
yearlings go in at S7.41 and pure
breds at S8.18 while grade bull
rates a S12.83 assessment. Lambs
are assessed at 48 cents each,
sheen at Stat: pigs at so cents
and hogs at $5.03.
The assessed value of all live
stock is ST, 122 ,483 while horses
and mules. assessed at 10 per cent,
total S264,8 1856. Household goods
are assessed at 20 per cent of
value, for a figure of $295, 348 and

Radiant Living
A SEQUESTERED
RETREAT
BY Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

There is a reason why Jesus ad-
vises us, when we pray, to enter
into the closet and to be sure to
shut the DOOR
We can not lift our thoughts
very high while our attention is
being distracted by the riotous
noises of the world.
We need to get into some closed
door closet of quietness - a Sc
ouestered retreat-where we can
shut the door and close our eyes to
shut out even the phyhical envir-
onment of the closet itself, and
then we can lift our thoughts Cod
ward and feel ourselves being lift
ed heavenward.
When shut in with God there is
no height to which we may not
ascend!
An elevator is an illustration of
the purpose of a prayer closet.
When you enter into one of these
upon the ground floor of tall
building in a large city, and the
doors clang together and the cur
rent is turned on, to what height
you are shot up! At last the up
ward fight stops. The door opens
and you step out into q little cor
ridor.
You pass through another door
and emerge upon the roof of the
building and there you are, sur
rounded by growing flowers of the
roof garden, far above the noise
and confusion and riot of the busy
city, out in the pure air, the warm
sunshine. and the glorious view!
Thus has many a humble prayer
closet proven itself to be an ele-
vator that has lifted the praying
soul above the distractions and dis
chords of life and up into that
higher realm that SENS to be the
very throne of God Himself!

$3.50 to $4,000 mile for full stabili-
zation.
Where funds are extremely linn
tied, spreading calcium chloride to
eliminate the dust is the best thing
to do. This costs from $3.50 to $500
a mile. A little more money may
make possible partial stabiliza-
tion," accomplished by adding to the
road an inch or so of properly pro-
portioned topsoil or pebble-soil, clay
and chemical. Sand-clay mixtures and
crushed shell also make highly suit
able ingredients in this method Of
road improvement. The "consoli-
dated" surface resulting from this
improvement measure not only takes
care of the dust nuisance but elimi-
mates spring mud, too. The following
year this step can be repeated to give
a thicker wearing surface. Highway
engineers call this "stage" construc-
ton of a stabilized road. 1t is a pay
as-you-go way of building a fully
stabilized road over period of years,
but providing a nuisance-free high
way in the meantime. OF course, full
stabilization is desirable if funds are
at kand.

Science and engineering effectively
have combined forces TO fight those
twin evils Of rural life-road dust and
mud. Making use of just such soil
materials as may be found in almost
any county, plus a moisture attract
ing chemical, the United States Bu-
reau of Public Roads has developed
formulas for building low cost, all
season roads that from now on likely
viii get bigger share of federal
construction funds if the clamor for
better secondary highways is any
indication of future trend.
The Bureau has found that tiny
drops of moisture form the key for
locking soil particles together. In road
making, definite proportions of
granular materials and very little
clay, plus some moisture tend to
nring about what is called q "stabi-
iized" condition which results in a
road tread that is quite hard and, with
proper maintenance, is as dustless in
august as it is mudless in April.

ates to make a better road instead of

FOR
A FRUIT CROP
Apple and Peach Outlook Fair
Despite the Recent
Frost and Ice
PROSPECTS ELSEWHERE

Mr.. w. T. Derickson, Director OF
Bureau of Markets of the State
Board of Agriculture, reports that
at the present time prospects are
for a fair crop of both apples an6
peaches in this State during the
coming season. There was consid-
cradle damage to peaches by the
freeze Of April 10; however, grow
ers generally report that in view
of the heavy bloom, there is still a
fair crop of peaches left. The
minimum temperature in the Do
YER Wyoming area on April 10-11,
was % degrees, but in the south
ern part of the State, the minimum
temperature was 1926 degrees.
There is a severe damage in many
orchards to early varieties of
peaches such as Golden Jubilee,
Carmen, and Red Bird. Many
growers rae reporting the damage
up to go per cent; others expect
a light crop. However, there is
apparently fair crop remaining
of such varieties as Albertas,
Hales, and Georgia Bells. In a
large orchard near Millsboro, the
damage to both apples and peach
es was very severe The crop OF
apples in Delaware this year viii
be considerably less than in 1887;
at which time we produced 2,750,-
900 bushels the largest crop OF
record. Most growers report a
lighter set of buds on practically
all varieties this year, and this
fact, together with the fact that a
considerable number of apple trees
have been cut down, will unques-
tionably bring the total production
considerably under that Of 1887,
although no official estimate has
been made up to the present time.
Mr.. Derickson has received reports
from officials in nearby states re-
garding the fruit situation, and
these reports are az follows:
New Jersey Thee was cons T.

Stabilized" road materials are COM
pacted even more by the rolling
weights above.
How to provide and maintain the
necessary moisture during dry months
was the problem. Then chemistry
stepped in with substance-calcium
chloride that, when spread on the
road, absorbs moisture directly from
the atmosphere and keeps the road
surface damp.
Experimenting independently in
an attempt to find type of road
that would cost little, yet provide a
good surface for the greatest number
of people all year round, the high
way departments of several states
followed the lead of Michigan and
also developed dustless, mudless
roads of the stabilized kind. Now
thousands of miles of chemically
stabilized roads serve rural and resort
areas of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio,
New York and other states. In these
areas travel was not enough to justify
spending $1,000 to $4,000 a mile
for heavy traffic pavements, but quite
enough to warrant spending from

peaches were severely damaged
during the winter and during the
recent freeze. Peaches along Lake
Ontaria were not affected, but a
light crop is expected for the State
as a whole. A lighter crop of ap-
pies is also expected but no official
estimate has been made at the
present time.
Michigan reports that because of
the very large crop last year, there
is a lighter bloom of both apples
and peaches this season with pros
pective lighter crops.
Reports from Georgia indicate
that the peach crop will be approx
imately 25 per cent below normal.
Damage was spotted and ranges
all the way from nothing to 100
percent in individual orchards. It
is reported that approximately so
per cent Of the apples in that State
were killed.
Illinois, which is one Of our most
competitive states on early apples,
reports that they will have a mod
crate to a light crop for the State
as a whole. The area around Cen
tralia will perhaps have slightly
better crop than in the extreme
southern part. Early apples in
Western Illinois were hard hit by
the freezing weather and will not
offer much competition. Late ap-
pies in the extreme southern end
of the State were badly damaged.
Peaches in the southern counties
of Illinois are reported to be dam
aged about so per cent, but appar-
emily a fair crop is expected in the
area centering around Centralia
and Salem. Growers in that State
feel that because of the damage to
peaches there will be an excessive
drop which will further reduce the
crop.
Maryland reports prospects for
fair crop of both apples and peach
es for the State as a whole, al
though the apple crop will unques-
tionably be less than last year.
North Carolina-A good crop of
peaches is expected, and growers
report that it will be necessary to
do quite a bit Of thinning.
Pennsylvania - Officials advise
that they have received conflicting
reports covering cold spells, sleet
storms, snow and poor pollenizing
weather regarding apples and
peaches, but the consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that there should
be fair crops.
Alabama reports that the pros
poets for peaches in that State
seems to be very good.
The apple producing areas thru
out the United States report a
lighter crop of apples this year
than last year Even in sections
where there was nc frost damage,
there is generally a lighter bloom
and in all areas a considerable
number of apple trees have been
removed.
Heavy frosts over most of Eu-
rope last week have caused serious
damage to fruit crops, the damage

Potato and Tomato Insects
Colorado Potato Beetle-Calcium
arsenate, lead arsenate, Paris

will kill this insect. A copper
lime-calcium arsentat dust to be
described in the last Of this series
of articles will control this beetle
as well as potato blight.
Blister Beetle Control of this
pest was described in the first ar
ticle in this series.
Tomato Worm or Horn Worm
Hand picking is very effective. On
large areas arsenical sprays will
readily control this pest.
Tomato Fruit Worm-Calcium

two Or three times well reduce
damage from this pest in early to-
matoes. The next generation of
moths lay their eggs largely on
corn and very few are found in
late tomatoes.
Flea Beetles This pest often
does considerable damage to new
" set tomato plants. This may
be prevented by dipping the plants
as they are being transplanted in
to a solution of calcium arsenate
made by mixing level tablespoon
fuls of calcium arsenate in three
gallons of water. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture after transplant
ing also prevents damage.
