of the Churhc of Jesus Christ of Latter
lip. y Saints li in the interests of the
IWomen's Relief society of the church,
their special department being the
teaching of genealogy. They have al
ready visited a number of towns in the
state and leave tonight for Carey, to
attend the state conference of the Wo
men's Relief society.
Mrs. Gates's a woman of remarl able
personality and like her father she puts
the work of her church in the fore
ground and makes it her life work.
"Few people realize," Mrs. Gates
stated in an interview today, "lust what
the women of the church are doing.'''
Then she explained the organization of
the Women's Relief society by the
prophet Joseph L'mith in 183 1 with a
membership of 18 and pointed with
1 .ue to the fact that the membership
today totalled more than 41,000. "The
mission of this society," she slated, "is
to teach and aid the women of tl e
church and assist the needy." She ex
P'alned that classes were conducted in
literature, art, hygiene and public

by the 41,000 women members of the
organization, is done without one cen,

upbuilding an! education of the Mor

to the information given Mr. Koelsch.
Mr. Shawhan. knowing the opportunity,
visited the head of the beet sugar
company at Salt Lake and induced
them to interest the farmers, with the
result that the mother beet, which is
planted to secure the seed, has been
furnished in various quantities to 16
farmers on the tract and they are
making experiments which at present
point to success, and which will like
ly mean the adding of thousands of
dollars annually to the income of
Idaho farmers from soil products.
Alfalfa on the tract, Mr. Koelsch
states, Is at present from 14 to 16
inches high, potatoes are doing fine
and it is expected new potatoes will
be shipped from the tract the latter

Lieut, and Mra. Theodore Marburg, photographed on arrival in New York.
Lieut. Theodore Marburg, an American airman, lost a leg a few months
while in the service of France. But the loss had its compensations,
the chief of them being the visits of a sympathetic Belgian girl, Baroness
Geselle de Vivario. The young couple were soon in love and their marriage
occurred April 10. Marburg, who is a son of a former U. S. minister to
Brussels, is now in this country with his bride on a six months' honeymoon

plained that the women nurse each
other In case of sickness, that they are
given Instructions which make them
especially fitted for such work and
that many members of the society at
tend the school of nurses at Salt Lake
conducted by C" society and then teach
otheres the knkowledge that they may
help each other.
In the Boise st te. which the women
are no wvisitlng, Mrs. Gates stated,
there arc 17 wards . nd the membership
of the society D 393. She showed fig
u es to prove that the women in the
state, members of the society, have
Iven during the past year $400 for
charity, more thin $1 per capital and
that they had spent 483 days visiting
the sick. Here she explained tha visits
to relatives and friends were not count
ed by the women, but only those made
in the interests of aid, and further the
report showed that in all a total of 830
sick visits had been made by the wo
men.
Mrs. Gates s the editor of the Relief
society's magazine, called the Women's
Exponent, which started 18 months ago
with a circulation of 8000. obtained en

circulation of over .1,000. ,
While in the city, Mrs. Gates and
Mrs. Wilcox have been entertained by
Heber Q. Hale, president of the Boise
stake, and others, and their visit has
been a most pleasant one, and they
are well pleased with the work they

Fruit Growers Are Cau
tioned to Combat the
Codling Moth.
Fruit growers are cautioned to spray
for codling moth by State Horticultural
Inspector Guy Graham, who issued a
notice to that effect today. This no
contains the directions that
tice
should be followed to make the spray
effective. He said:
Idaho
While the frost did some
damage, where orchards were located
on low ground, most trees will be so
heavy that they will require thinning.
"The prospect is excellent for an ex
tremely large crop of fruit in
this season.
"In order to avoid the great loss
from codling moth which occurred last
season the fruit growers should take
particular pains to spray thoroughly
the proper time. While it will requin
at lease three arsenate of lead sprays
for the codling moth I consider the
calyx spray should be applied between
now and the 12th of the month. Use
4 pounds of paste or 2 pounds of pow-jare
dered arsenate of lead to 100 gallons of
water, spray thoroughly with at least
200 pounds pressure and do not leave
the tree until you are satisfied that
every calyx has been filled."
How to Treat Apple Scab.
Regarding the treatment that should
apply to ipple scab, C. C. Vincent, hor
ticulturist with the University of Ida
ho, has issued the following state
ment:
As it is a violation of the law of the
state of Idaho to place upon the mar
ket, scab-infected fruit, it W'ould be
well for the fruit growers to plan an
active campaign for the control of this
disease this summer. Apple scab can
be controlled by spraying with lime
sulphur. To grow perfect crops of
apples, spraying should go hand in
hand with pruning, cultivation, thin
ning, and fertilization.
As no definite dates can be given
for making various applications, it
would be well for the growers to watch
the development of the fruit and
weather. At the Idaho experiment sta
tion. three applications of lime-sulhpur,
immer strength, applied according to
the following schedule gave excellent
results:
(1) When the blossom buds show
pink.
(2) When the petals fall.
Three weeks after the petals
(3)
fall.
I would also suggest that arsenate
of lead be added at the rate of two
pounds to 50 gallons of water at the
second and third sprayings for the
control of the codling moth.
Lime-sulphur, if applied too strong,
will burn the foliage and fruit, hence
it should be diluted as follows:
Lime-sulphur testing 34 degrees
Baume, one gallon to 43% gallons of
water.
Lime-sulphur testing 32 degrees
Baume, one gallon to 40 gallons of
water.
Lime-sulphur testing 30 degrees
Baume, one gallon to 36% gallons of
water.
Lime-sulphur testing 28 degrees
Baume, one gallon to 32% gallons of
water.
Lime-sulphur testing 26 degrees
Baume, one gallon to 29% gallons of
water.

STRONG PROTEST
The city of Salmon proposes to get
relief from the Gilmore & Pittsburg
railroad, built and operating from Arm
stead, Mont., to Salmon, judging from
the complaint of the citizens of that
city as placed before the public utili
ties commission during its hearing at
Salmon.
returned from the trip last night. Aside
from hearing the complaint of the citi
zens of Salmon against the railroad
the commission also heard a complaint
orks
Members of the commission
against the municipal water
system owned and opened by the city,
At present there are two telephone
companies operating in Salmon and the
citizens asked the commission to force
these companies to connect their lines
so that people could talk from one to
the other,
The government has advertised for
bids for daily mail service to Salmon,
At present there is only tid-weekly ser
vice. This service, the citizens set out
their complaint to the commission,
does not "reasonably accommodate the
traffic, passenger, freight and United
j States mail business transported by it."
it is charged the train schedule is so
arranged that traffic and mail service
unreasonably delayed; that the
! trains arrive in Salmon between 5 and
6 o'clock in the evening and depart at
8 o'clock the next morning; that these
hours do not allow the traveling public
time in which to transact business and
are very bad for the answering of cor
respondence and mailing it.
The passenger rates charged by the
railroad are held to be unreasonable
and excessive, based as they are at 5
cents per mile. It Is held that the rate
should not be higher than 3 cents per
mile. The rules of the company are
also classed as unreasonable.
The passenger cars used by the rail
road are classed in the complaint as
"old. second-hand, unsanitary and un
safe, thereby causing needless risk to
the life, health and comfort of the trav
eling public." The fencing constructed
by the railroad along the right of way
is branded as inadequate to restrain
stock from getting onto the railroad,
and dangerous to the traveling public.
