Our city council held lively ses
sion last Monday night Considerable
time was taken up in considering a
"Sunday closing" ordinance. The or
dinance was not passed, and the council
will probably wrestle with the question
again at the next meeting-March
18th. 1t would appear to the average
citizen that Great Bend has great
many ordinances which are not strictly
enforced, and are therefore almost
dead letters; and it also appears as
though there should be more of spirit
tn enforce ordinances already passed,
before making new ones.

Hecent Experiments
Prof c. r.. Gillette. Of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station.
Ames. In late bulletin upon expert
ments with arsenites reports the fol-
lowing conclusions:
|. The oldest leaves are most sus-
ceptible 70 injury from arsenical annli-
cations. They often turn yellow and
drop without showing the burnt. spotted
appearances.
= Dews. and probably direct sun
light. increase the injuries done by the
arsenites TO foliage.
5. Leaves kept perfectly dry can
hardly be injured by the arsenites,
even when they are applied very
abundantly.
l. Applications made in the heat OF
the day and in the bright sunlight do
not injurc foliage more than when sp-
piled in the cool Of the day.
S. The only effect OF heavy rain or
dashing shower following an applica-
ton Of one Of the arscnitcs is TO lessen
the injury 10 foliage.
g. Leaves suffering from funpous
disease are more susceptible to injury
than are healthy leaves
:, When freshly mixed and applied.
London purple is most and white
arsenic is least injurious TO foliage.
s. White arsenic in solution should
rot be used upon foliage without first
adding lime. Bordeaux mixture or
some other substance 10 prevent its in
furious effects upon foliage.
.. White arsenic, if allowed 70 stand
many DAYS in water before hcing ap-
piled, will do far greater harm To foil
age than if applied as soon as mixed.
10. Lime added to London purple or
paris green in water greatly lessons
the injury that these poisons would
otherwise do to foliage
II. Lime added to mixture OF white
arsenic ia water will greatly increase
the injury that this poison would other
wise do % foliage. If the arsenic is all
in solution. the lime will then lessen
the injury. as in the case Of London
purple or paris green.
T. London purple paris green and
white arsenic have not yet been tried
can be used at least eight or ten times
a. strong without injury TO foliage IL
applied in common bordeaux mixture
instead Of water.
-. The arsenitcs cannot by any ordi-
nary method be successfully mixed in
a Kerosene emulsion.
"a. The arsenites mix readily in resin
compounds and do not seem to be more
injurious TO foliage than a. ordinarily
applied in water.
Is. The arsenites in strong soapy
mixtures do considerable more harm to
foliage than when applied in water
only.
10. The arsenites mix readily in car
donate OF copper solution and do not |
seem 10 do more harm than when ap-
piled in water only
II. London purple in sulphate of cop |
per solution does vastly more harm
than when applied in water only.
