SPRAYING Of FRUIT TREES
Iowa Experiment Station. Ames,
Iowa.

The Iowa Experiment Sta
ton has just issued a spraying
calendar giving full directions
for spraying. 1t tells what to
spray and when to spray, Civ
ing a list of the insect and fun
gus enemies that affect the
different fruits, and the kind of
sprays to use to destroy them.
1t is neatly gotten up on light
card board in calendar form,
and may be received by sending
a postal card to Prof. Charles
F. Curtiss, Director of the Ex-
pertinent Station, Ames, Iowa.
1t is a publication that should
be in the hands of every fruit
grower in the state. It gives
the latest formulas for insecti-
cides and fungicides, recon-
mending among others the sui
phur, lime and salt mixtures
for San Jose scale, and lead
arsenate for codling moth.
Thorough spraying by the
fruit growers of the state
would do more to increase their
profits than any other one
thing that could be done. Last
year thousands of dollars were
lost in the state by two fungus
diseases, apple scab and leaf
spot of the cherry, both of
which might have been held in
check by spraying. Orchardists
who have been spraying system
atically for a few years have
practically eradicated the cod
ling moth, and are raising
apples that are entirely free
from worms" Spraying is a
paying proposition, and fruit
growers spray because it
means big profits.
If you are interested in fruit
growing you should write for
this spraying calendar at once,
and if you are not already re-
ceiving the bulletines of the
Horticultural department, re-
quest that your name be put on
their mailing list.

Tendency of the Times

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being gwen to
the subject. 1t Is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has hetn
fully demonstrated that pneumonia.
one of the NEST dangerous diseases
tn t medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from cold OF
from an attack of lnlllerZl grip and
it has been observed that this remedy
counteracts any tendency of these d.
seases toward pneumonia. This has
been fully proven IN many thousands
of cases In which this remedy has
been used during the great prevalence
OF colds and grip in recent years, and
can be relied upon with implicit con-
| idence. Pneumonia often results
from slight cold when no danger is
apprehended until 1t is suddenly dis
covered that there is fever and difficult
ty in breathing and pans in the chest,
then it is announced that the patient
has pneumonia. BE ON the safe side

Fifteen new complaints were filed In the

MEMORY OF LINCOLN.
Continued from page one.


He. gained his education by close and and
careful study of the few books that could
be secured. He absorved all the know
ledge that came TO him and then when
he set forth for himself, he had var,en rnen
came his career as a struggling lawyer.
a member OF the legislature and then the
events in politics that brought him prom
inently before the people.
SPEAKERS REMARKS.
The speaker called attention to the de-
velopment of the nobility and grandeur
of the intellect of Lincoln as he became
the chief executive Of the nation and OF
the influence OF the man as he stood al
the head of his people In the battle for
the freedom OF the slave. The humanity
OF the man. OF his love for his people and
of his practical Fellowship and his sym
pathy, were all understood. but the bet
ter understood as the nation grew older.
Lincolns mastery OF his people OF the
careful study OF the great problems that
confronted him during the long and ter
rible struggle that the Union might live
were referred to. and his clear foresight.
which pointed out the pitfalls for the
nation. were mentioned. and the famous
epigram, "You can fool some OF the peo-
pie all the time, some of the people some
OF the time but you can't fool all of the
people all the time was recalled as a
masterpiece OF wisdom OF Lincoln. Col.
Ballou believed that this famous sentence
should be emblazoned on the walls of
every legislative hall OF the country as
guidance for the representatives of the
people. He believed that this would be
the wisest advice that could be given to
legislators. for IL was truth.
Turning 10 the present the speaker be-
lieved that the wisdom OF Lincoln was
needed now because OF the great prob
lens which the nation has met There
was need of a crystalization OF the Mum
roe doctrine into an epigram as famous
as that which Lincoln spoke, that Ii could
be clearly understood and taken seri-
ously. There was need OF a larger navy
and there was need OF the country de-
veloping it's resources to resist the en-
croachments that were threatened.
At the close Of the address there was a
burst OF applause and after vote of
thanks had been rendered to the partici-
pants In the program OF the day the COM
pany united in singing single verse of
America"
The assemblage was dissolved and the
governor and senate retired. and the
house was again convened.
on motion OF Mr.. Fitzgerald the house
then adjourned.
