It la characterised by gum areas or cankers on the trunk and main branches. Large limb are frequent ly killed, and in severe inw the en tire tree may die. This disease should be controlled during early spring when the p flow has started upward. Make num erous longitudinal cut through and extnditid 6 to 10 Inches above and below th dlAeaeed area or cmiker. S'.ifh cut should be spaced about one to two lnh apart, and hmind the canker on each side. Cuts to be through the bark Into the asp wood. The area should then be mopped with copper nitrate solution, beliw sure that the liquid penetrates Into the many cuta. A sponge answers the purpoee uuely for applying Hie so lution. Copper nitrate solution Is made aa follow: Stir 1 ounce of copper car boiwite into 2 quartA of water, then add l'i ounces of concentrated nitric artd . When t he aolut Ion becomes dear, add 1 gallon denatured alco hol. The solution should be prepared In ft'.aM or enamflware containers and kept In bnttlea tlp-htly corked, Ate ym s member of Bthelwyn B Hoffmann's UCvilEHY .71.UB7 JulD Nu. GOOD GARDENING 6. The Soil Test. It may sound technical, but It's a good Idea before planting your spring garden to test the kind of soli you have. If your garden ls "acid," celery, cabbage, cucumber, tomato, bean and pea seeds among vegetables and. dahlia, begonia, gladiolus and zinnia will not thrive In It. For the average garden a soil testing set with a single solu tion la enough and may be bought from dealers at a small price. Soil steeped In the solution colors and a comparison with an accompany ing chart tells the soli reaction. If the ground needs acid, alu minum sulphate, powdered tannic acid, peat moss or decayed pine or oak. sawdust may be used. If It needs neutralizing, Apply lime.

Strahorn, "northwest empire builder" Is president. Circuit 1 Judge H. D. Norton today handed down a decision In favor of the min ing company against Opp, on all the Issues Involved except on a technical construction of royalty payments amounting to a comparatively small sum. Opp In the suit sought cancellation of the lease of the mining property t and approximately $34,000 damages for alleged "unmlnerly operation" of me court s opinion. On the royalty payments, the tech nical question Involved waa whether the royalty should be on the bsse output or the smelter returns. The court holds that the smelter charges were properly deductible, but not the freight charges. This will result In a re-computation of the smelter and freight charges. The court held that the only obli gation of the mining company. Inso far as "tailings" were concerned, was that thoy deposit them upon the property. Because of the Issues Involved In the action, the case attracted wide attention In northwest and northern California mining circles,'' Opp charged In his complaint that tho property was being mined In an "unmlnerly manner." In refutation, the mining company set forth that It had made extensive Improvements to tunnels, placed modern machinery upon the property and extended de velopment of the property. The Opp mine, one of the best known workings In southern Oregon, Is located near Jacksonville. The Pacific States Mining comany waa represented by Attorney J. F.

The records of the Interstate com merce commission disclosed today that before approving the appoint- ment of C um m 1 n gs as trustee for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul, the commission heard a pro test from minority bondholders.
