Improve Your Farm.

Every good farmer should try to i'm.
prove his soil each year, Unless you
add as much plant food as the crou
takes from the soil, every year your
farm gets poorer and your chances for
profit grow less and less. While on
the other hand, if you will increase
the fertility of the land year by year
you increase your profits continually
Hence rotate your crops, Sow cow
peas afen grain. Turn them under in
the fall. Use barn lot manure and
compost made on the farm. If you
still need more plant food, buy a high
grade commercial fertilizer and Judi.
ciously feed all your crop plants. with
liberal hand, just as you feed your
live stock.
Feed to cattle cotton seed meal and
hulls and fatten same for market,
They will pay you a profit and their
weddings will enrich your rarm.-Geor.

the Jose scale. A thorough spray
ing of tree is, therefore, not prac-
teal and the application must be made
By hand. The trunk and larger limbs
can be thoroughly painted by means
Of brush or cloth mop and on young
trees, where the treatment is most
needed, the application can be extended
to within few inches Of the tips of
the twigs This may seem impracti-
cal, but in the tests | found it not
difficult to quite thoroughly coat four
year old peach trees. In our CONNER
cial peach orchards the trees are
headed low and the limbs are in easy
reach.
spray pump can be used to apply
/ the wash to the trunk and the lower
! portion Of the limbs and in this man
ner a large orchard can be gone over
However, the pump should be followed
by the brush in order to extend the
application higher Up the limbs Con-
fact of the wash wit1 the foliage
SaouId lie avoiced, although the de-
struction OF some leaves will neces.
sarily result
The time to make the application is
when living scales are found on the
trees. The San Jose scale will be
breeding quite rapidly during the
month of May, and an application dur
ing this month would effectively check
It's progress. AS a general statement,
| would say that the greatest benefit
from any one application might be
expected in August or sGon after the
fruit crop is harvested During the
fall months the accumulation Of scale
is greatest, as is also the consequent
damage to the trees.
This treatment is especially recon.
mended for application to badly infest.
ed trees likely to die If left untreated
until winter washes can be applied,
and for family orchards.
Preparation of the Wash.
The same formula, but with greater
dilution, as used for winter work, has
been found satisfactory for summer
applications with the brush. This
formula may be stated as follows:
Lime (unslaked) ..............30 fbs.
Sulphur (ground) ........... .20fbs.
salt OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. .l5IDs.
Water to make ........... 100 gals.
For winter work only GO gallons of
water are used with this formula, but
in the summer tests 1t was found that
a much weaker solution gave salts
factory results
Place eight or ten gallons of water
in an iron kettle over a fire and when
1t reaches the boiling point add the
lime. which Immediately produce
violent boiling Stir in the sulphur
as rapidly as convenient and from time
to time add a small quantity Of WAFER
as needed to prevent boiling over or
burning The sulphur gradually goes
into solution and the mixture. at FIRST
thick and pasty. becomes thinner and
thinner. changing in color through
several shades OF yellow. After at
least one hours constant boiling the

continued for another half hour. Then
dilute with the required amount of

Summer Treatment.
The need OF an effective remedy for
the San Jose scale for SPINNER use
has long been felt. and although many
substances have been tried, nothing
has given anything IKE satisfaction.
For the past two years l have been
experimenting with the lime, sulphur
and salt wash as a wintel treatment
for scale and the results have been
quite satisfactory as Set forth in bull

During the present season am max.
