Their Signs Constitute One of the
 Sights c: London.
 The American ill London, on his frs, visit to that marvellous city, is struck bv the number of signs over shops with the royal arms painted thereon and announcing that the tradesinan is a purveyor to their majesties. Yet. when the matter is sifted, the number is not so large.
 Officially, according to the London News, there are about POO tradesmen in London who hold the royal warrant and are entitled to use the royal arms as a shop sign, with the accompanying words. By royal appointment The royal warrant has to be received. signed and sealed in due form; other wise. if a tradesman styles himself F puryeyor to member of the royal family without this formal permission. be is guilty of an offense which is e2O Moreover, he is liable to sim- lar fine if he uses arms so nearly re. sembling the royal arms as to lead people 10 believe that he is carrying on his business under the authority of royalty. Several instances have occur red of the enforcement of these penal ties
 The warrants are exhibited in the shop windows, headed by the royal arms and bearing the signature of the lord chamberlain. the comptroller of the royal household, the treasurer of the latter, or of the master of the horse. etc., according to the circum stances.

HOW 1T WAS GROWN,

When one reads Of an exceptional
yield of grain or corn an interest very
naturally attaches to the methods fol-
lowed il producing it. For this reason
those who have read the previous ref
erence in these notes to the authenti-
Gated yield Of 154 bushels of corn Sc
cured from single acre by John Sund-
berg will be interested in knowing how
It was grown The ground on which
this fine yield was produced was sec
ond bottom Missouri valley soil which
had been in clover pasture some. five
years preceding. 1t was plowed in the
fall, and In the spring 1t was given the
usual thorough preparation for corn.
including disking and narrowing. An
acre and half were chosen in the rich
est part of the field. one acre being laid
out for the actual test. The grower
figured out in advance just how many
plants he would have to have to pro-
duce 40 bushels at harvest. To this
were added sufficient number Of ker-
nels to make up for those that for one
cause or another would fail to pro-
duce ears. He planted the corn early
In May, using drill and double plant
Ing, % that the rows were twenty-onr
inches apart, the kernels being drop
ped eighteen inches apart in the row
The cultivating was done with sin
Gle horse and q five tooth cultivatcr
this being given at frequent intervals
20 as TO keep the soil loose and moist
At husi-inr time an actual count shnw
Ell 11.SGJ stalks with ears avera ginr IT,
wei-ht 14.4 ounces. The land was r.
measured and the corn weighed in tile
presence Of justice Of the peace. The
variety plarted was Reds Yellow Dent.
40 il interesting to note in connection
with this yield that it was just about
six times the average yield per acre
for corn the country over. II Is worth
remembering too. that, in addition to
using the finest pure bred seed obtain
able. the corn was grown on d YER
rich piece Of bottom land and was
given ideal cultivation. When corn
growers will give more heed to the
three factors here mentioned in the
growing Of their corn the yield OF this
great cereal will be materially IN
creased.

SOME OHIO SPRAYING RESULTS.

When the average orchard owner
who has not been spraying his trees
is preached on the question OF spray
ing, quite naturally one Of the first
points he raises Il. Does 1T pay"
With q view to giving an emphatic
affirmative answer to this question q
number OF the state experiment sta
lions have during the past three or
four years conducted most instructive
cooperative spraying experiments. In
which the matter seems to have been
given very conclusive demonstration.
or the above type Of experiments
were those conducted by the Ohio sta
ton i'm 1907. Twelve acres Of an Or
chard near Amherst were selected for
the experiment. the trees being twenty
feet i'm height and having about an
equal spread Of top. q few trees were
left unsprayed for purposes OF COM
parison. AT harvest time $500 bushels
of perfect apples were gathered,
conservative estimate of the gain due
To spraying being $1,400. or over $1C0
per acre, and this after the cost Of
spraying, amounting to $125, had been
subtracted. Set, as this orchard was,
in the midst Of many other unsprayed
orchards, the demonstration was very
convincing, and as q result Of the
showing made many orchardlsts or
the state were convinced of the practi-
cal value Of spraying and took the
work up the following year. The av-
erage of picked sound fruit at harvest
time on all the trees sprayed was
96 per cent. while the same average
for the unsprayed trees was less than
5S per cent The main fact proved in
connection with this work is that If
one has an orchard which Is worth
anything at all he cannot. afford to
leave it unspraypd. as 50 doing will
reduce both the quantity and quality
of his fruit below the point where he
can successfully compete with the
growers OF clean fruit. On the other
hand If the orchard Is too far gone
to justify the expense Of spraying, it
were better cut out and converted into
stove wood. as II Il merely an incum-
brance on the ground

that they are sapping their very life
