In the tests reported apple crab was not satisfactorily controlled with either liquid sprays or dusts if the applications were not timely with reference to rains and general weather conditions. The pink or cluster bud spray, may in some seasons be too late, to protect the fruits, leaves and floral parts aicalnst early scab infection. The pre-pink spray which Is applied when the first leaves expand in the blossom cluster may prevent this early infeation. Where apple scab was serious this application has a highly desirable addition to the ordinary scab schedule which now provides for the pink spray, petal fall spray, and the spray two or three weeks after petal fall.

In letters to maintenance superintendents and engineers, A. H. Hinkle, superintendent of the division, emphasized the importance of making such repairs before freezing weather. He said that no road would-last if water is permitted to stand on it any length of time after a rain; even concrete and brick pavements fail under such conditions. In trating bituminous surfaces he ordered the maintenance men to mark the spots that hold water and then fill them up after the water has disappeared. He ordered them to "paddle" gravel over the gravel roads iminedlatey after a rain and dump enough material in the depressions to fill them. "It is a serious matter to permit water to stand on any road surface, Hinkle declared in the letters, “and no one engaged in road maintenance can justify himself in being careless in this regard.” "Winter will soon be here," he con tinned, “and it is extremely import ant that these matters be attended tc to save the roads next spring.” ■ o Ontario Leads In Uniform Width Os Roads Indianapolis. Ind., Oct. 14. — (Spe i cial to Daily Democrat) —Indiana has obtained marvelous results at build ing and maiiftaining state roads but is far behind the Provience of On tario in matter of dust eliminatior and uniform width of highways, ir the opinion of official representatives of the Canadian highway department who toured some our state roads tc get a close up on how we build am maintain to meet the demand foi over-land transportation. The Canadian party was composei of Hon. F. G. Macdiarmid. who was Minister of Public Works and High ways until 1911); T. J. Mahoney. M. P P.; A. N. Rankin, and M. P. P Smith, M. P. I’.. and was sent by theii government to obtain information as to the manner of road payment am management prevailing in a num her of places in the United States They were elevted to visit Michigan Indiana and Wisconson as represents tive of this nation. Ontario finances its road by sal< of automobile licenses and a direc property tax. The license on small car of popular make is JI: yearly. The Province proposes t< levy a gasoline tax this fall, tin gentlemen said. Ontario has 1,801 miles of roads and 1,00 miles will b< 11 hard surfaced by this winter. Abou | the same materials are used there a> in Indiana. Construction however. i< I decidedly more expensive because ■ rnapy roads cut through rocky cliff! ; and over ravines necessitating trem j endous fills. Some of these roadt cost JIOO.OOO a mile. Organized it | 1917 the Ontario roads departmen has invested $40,000,000 in highway improvement up to date. Indiana has spent less than this sum in the last five years on more than 4,000 miles o( highways. o Two Decatur Boys Are Members Os I. U. Band Bloomington, lud., Oct. 14.—E. R Crill and I). F.

(l Wayne young men to this city from Decatur, ran off the highway, crash ed into the graveyard of the Franke n church and knocked down three a ' large tombstones, last night. The cemetery is located five miles out on the Decatur road. One of the youths, t Elmer Amstutz, living three miles out. near the Parker school, receiv ed minor cuts on his head and side and three of his firgers were smashed. The others were uninjured. IP “Albert Helmkamp, 232 E. Columbia street, driver of the car, was brought in by Sheriff Lewis Bobilya 11 and he will be up for a hearing to's day. The sheriff says that while it ls was evident that the youths had been ’ e drinking he is not certain that any of 3 them were drunk. A bottle of moon- ■*' shine was found in the car, the sherls iff said. Amstutz was questioned 11 last night. , “Charles Miller, living on Gay y street, and Fred Jackson, who lives 3 with Helmkamp, could not be locat!t ed last night. They had evidently ls left the graveyard immediately after the accident. “The automobile hit one massive tombstone with such force that when J it fell it btought down two other tombstones with it. The crash wrecked the automobile. e “The sheriff found that the auto- '■ mobile left the road 150 feet south ® of the place where it was suddenly 1 [ stopped and that it had crashed 0 1 through a small hedge which stir- '■ ■ rounds the graveyard.” y| o ’ Ed Gallagher Says He’s n Off Os Married Life h (United Press Service) Detroit, Oct. 14. —“Married life in show business is all apple sauce.” e Thus Ed Gallagher, partner in the now famous Gallagher and Shean act, commented on reports he contemplatt ed marrying Yvonne Lussier as soon .'as he secufed a divorce from his J present wife, Ann Luther. “I’m through with married life. a ' Absolutely and positively" An actor I .'can’t do his stuff with a ball and j chain.” Gallagher said. J He also commented on being sued . for $25,000 by Robert Landry of, t Montreal because Gallagher had an- i 3 nexed Yvonne Lussier to his com- . pany. 1| "Landry was the girl’s angel, it’s I true. I wish he’d be content to t’e- ■ main. ‘Angels’ should remain in .

I ■. - ——o To Pick Site For New School For Blind SoonIndianapolis, Oct. 14.--The site for) the new Indiana State School for the blind will be selected in a few days.| Governor Emmett Branch announc [ ed today. The commission selected by the last legislature to choose a site for the school are looking at about seventy to the city of Indianapolis. The site which is finally chosen will be near the city, preferrably north where the better residence district is located. The commission has been offered the estate of Frank Wheeler northwest of the estate for $190,000. Although the commission is in favor of purchasing this site the Governor feels that the residence located upon it i s too luxurious for an administration building for the school. The price, however, is declared to be reasonable. The old blind school I s to be torn down to make room for the new $lO,000,000 war memorial plaza now under (onstruction hero. The school was erected about thirty-five years ago. It houses about 190 blind children. As this number is not increasing .but to the contrary is decreasing, provision will be made in the new school for approximately that number. The new school will probably cost ' between $300,000 and $500,000, it has been estimated. The lay out of the buildings has been tentatively decided upon. In the front center of the 1 grounds will be located the administration building and faculty resi ' dences; on each end will be the boys ' and girls dormitories respectively; at ' the rear center will be the recitation 1 rooms and auditorium, and to one side ’ in the rear will be the heating plant.
