now in use.
During the early spring so many in

garding the manner Of destroying IN

for something that would be superior
to the present methods OF spraying
The result Of the investigation is q
very fine powder, which contains cop
per in the same form that occurs in

The spraying. of fruit trees and
vines has become a necessity among
commercial fruit growers. The liquid
mixture hitherto has given the most

More Land for Boone county.

Columbia, Mo-: 1t is very probable
that before another year Boone County
will contain several hundred acres
more land than at the present time.
Several months ago the thrifty Ger
man farmers Of the Burlington bot
toms constructed bikes on the Missou-
RI River in order to save their land
from being washed away. The bikes
not only did this, but they are chang
ing the current of the river, so that a
large quantity Of Cole and Cooper
County soil is being washed over to
the Boone County side of the river and
is being added to the Burlington bot
tom farms.
