PROGRESSIVES AND . REPUBLICANS MAY UNITE ON HUGHES i & (Continued on Page 4) precaution which proved successful four years ago and saved a lot of rescues of persons and things which in previous convention times seemed to have a natural habit of graviating thereto. The Coliseum and the Auditorium, where the Republican and Progres- sive hosts will hold solemn conclave, were ready for the crowds today. $350 for Ticket: Tickets for the Republican con- vention were at the biggest premium they ever have been for such a gath- ering. There were plenty of offers of $350 for a single ticket admitting holder to the expected four daily sessions— and tickets scarce at that. It was estimated that the attempt to gain admittance will be made in vain by about ten thousand people. Only - 12,400 seats for the public g have been provided in the Coliseum. Fakirs thronged Michigan avenue and reaped a rich harvest in the sale E|of badges, banners, pictures and B | souvenirs. Most of the big delegations were i | expected today.

IOWA HAS GUBERNATORIAL FIGHT AT POLLS TODAY Des Moines, Ia., June 5.—Iowa vo- ters are at the polls today at the state wide primary for state, congressional and judicial nominations. A heavy vote is being cast, particularly among republicans because of the three-cor- nered fight for the gubernatorial nomination. The Democrats want E. T. Mere- dith for governor and the Socialists J. W. Bennett. There is a merry war on in the Republican camp. Attor- ney General George Cosson and State Senator Joseph H. Allen are’dry can- didates, with Lieutenant Governor W. L. Harding rather damp. Carl F. Kuehnle of Denison, once a partner of former Governor Leslie M. Shaw, is the fourth candidate. “Votes for women” is dividing at- tention at the polls.

[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] The presence of the hay scented fern and the brake fern in pastures in the eastern United States is a serious det- riment to the grazing of live stock. which is a prominent feature in farm- ing in that section.. The department of agriculture recommends the following means of reducing these pasture wast- ing pests: Cut the fern with a scythe in the middle of June just as the spores are beginning to mature and repeat the cutting about the middle of August, before the second crop of spores has a chance to spread. As soon as the cut ferns are dry burn them over to lessen the vitality of the root stocks. After the cutting and burning the land can be seeded with pasture grass and clover. A better stand will be ob- tained if lime or lime and fertilizer are applied in addition to the seed. A second method Is to spray the fern growth with salt and water distributed with a hand bucket pump or a knap- sack sprayer. When the field is so lo- cated that water for spraying is sot easily accessible the cutting is prob- ably easier. With ferns of an average degree of thickmess, a man with.a knapsack sprayer ought to cover about five acres a day. The salt is used at the rate of onc pound to about one and one-half quarts of water, and 150 pounds of salt ought to be enough to spray the average acre infested with ferns, which seldom cover more than one-third of the ground. If five acres are covered per day., with labor at $1.50, the total cost of spraying is about $1.05 per acre for each applica tion, exclusive of the cost of hauling. Two sprayings a year, just previous to sporing, about the middle of June and the middle of August, are neces. sary. Burn over as soon as they have dried up. As the use of the salt spray is something of a detriment to the growth of young clover, efforts to en- courage clover to work into the patches and help choke them down should be deferred until after the August spray- ing. After the ferns have been reduced to a minimum the specific treatments may be discontinued, at least until they again become troublesome. It is prob. ably not practicable to entirely eradi- cate ferns. The immediate reduction of the number of ferns, however, will give the grass and clover opportunity to work in, and this in itself will tend to hold the ferns in check. Cultivation, on the other hand, where tried seems not to be effective, as the ferns work in again sooner or later even where the patch is used for potato growing for a year. The actual experiments were made with the hay scented fern, but the re- sults are believed to be fully as ef- MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1916 'RUBBER WHAT? BANDS, of course.

Wherever the blossom buds of the peach have been killed by winter in- jury to such an extent that there are only enough buds alive for a crop, it is suggested by the horticultural depart- ment of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station that growers give special attention to the control of the plum curculio. This insect appears at about the time the trees begin to EX XXX XXX XXX XX K ¥ If you have a room to rent or ¥ * want to rent one—you get the ¥ * best choice through a Pioneer ¥ * want ad.

By spraying the trees just as the petals have fallen from the blos- soms many insects are killed before they deposit the eggs, and the danger of later injury is considerably reduced. A spray consisting of three pounds of arsenate of lead paste or one and three- quarters pounds of the powder to fifty gallons of water applied at the fall of the petals is recommended. Where the set of fruit is very light a second spraying of arsenate of lead, common- ly combined with the self boiled Hme sulphur, should be made just as the “shucks” or calyces are being shed from the fruits. Disk Smoother. For the final smoothing touch to the soil before planting garden or truck crops there is a device consisting of a large number of small disks set in a’ wooden frame which does just about the same work as a steel rake, but gets over the ground much more rapidly. The drawing illustrates the manner of its construction and shows just about what it may be expected to accomplish. For doing the same work drags or foats big enough to be horse drawn or of a size suitable for drawing by hand may be used.—Farm Progress. Spring Apple Spraying. As a result of the fleld experiments in spraying apple orchards the Uni- versity of Illinois agriculture experi- ment station recommends that the first summer application be made after the cluster buds open, as soon as the in- dividual flower buds spread apart, but before the flower buds themselves open. Spraying may be continued un- til the petals have commenced to sep- arate, but shonld be discontinued as soon as the stamens and pistils of the flowers are exposed. This spray is for the apple scab and to kill the vari ous leaf eating insects which appear early in the season. including bud moth, tent caterpillar and canker- worm.
