For Goblin moth the best solution is
Paris green. This is composed of one
third of a pound of Paris green, dis
solved in a quart of milk of lime (the
liquid made by dissolving unslacked
lime in water) and mixing with so
gallons of water. I find this amount
sufficient to spray about 40 trees.
The first spraying should be given
the trees when the blossoms being to
fall. Use a spray pump which will
throw the liquid to all the branches.
About two weeks later spray the trees
again. A third spraying again two
weeks later will be advisable. / shall
spray my trees three times this year.

AS the land is furnished to the beet
raiser ready for seeding, the cost is
reduced to $24 per acre. Deducting
one-fourth of the crop for rent of
ground, the renter has remaining nine
tons of beets per acre, which bring
him $3.50 per ton at the factory, or
$4,000 per acre. AS the total cost of
raising the beets is $24 per acre, there
is net profit of $3.50 per acre for the
producer. In addition to this profit he
has employment during the season at
good wages and is mis- own master.
1t is estimated that under ordinary
circumstances one man is able to take
care of 10 acres Of beets. A great deal
of the work can be performed by boys,
as we'll or better than by men. During
the past season all the boys between
10 and 16 years of age who desired
work were employed in thinning, pull
ing and topping beets, and paid from
81 to $1.25 per day. A man with a
family of growing boys who wishes to
keep them out of idleness. can do moth
ing better than to engage in raising
sugar beets.
