SPRAY THOROUGHLY.
To Slight the Work Will Mean an
Increased Amount of Dividend or
Fruit Wormy.


In the study of spraying problems
the writer has been impressed time
and again, with the fact that thor
oughness is the greatest contributor
toward the success OF the spraying
operations. 1t matters not how good
the insecticide or the fungicide may
be. nor how strong 1t may be used;
IL 1t Is put on the trees carelessly
and with lack Of good judgment,
there are more chances for failure
than there are for success.
Recently much time has been spent
In apple orchards, where the picking
and packing OF fruit was In prog
ress, for the purpose OF determining
the percentage of wormy fruit. and,
II possible. the reasons why an or
chard is wormy or otherwise. There
is always n tendency for people to
credit some one else with their own
mistakes. and very often in this work
do we find unjust criticism OF those
who have recommended a certain
amount OF spray. and certain course
OF procedure in Its use. because OF
the fact that there are more worms
than were expected. An investiga-
ton OF the facts in the case very
often proves that lack of thorough
ness at the time of spraying was re-
sponsible for the existing condition.
and that any attack upon those who
are giving their time and the best
knowledge and experience OF them
selves and others. Is totally unwar-
ranted
The man who makes n success
OF the orchard business must use
tho same amount of judgment land
| am often tempted to say n greater
amounD than the man who succeeds
in any other line of business A crop
OF fancy apples. free from worms. Is
so much dependent upon the man
that holds the spray rod Often /
enter two or more orchards that
have been sprayed for the control OF
the codling moth with the same ma
chine. and the same amount OF an
insecticide OF the same brand In
fact the spray and equipment
throughout were exactly the same,
but different men handled the spray
rods. In some cases n difference OF
10 per cent In number OF wormy
apples has been noted In orchards so
sprayed. To what are we going TO
attribute the extra 10 per cent OF
wormy fruit? We can only reason
ably place the blame upon the man
who held the spray rod and directed
the spray upon the trees. Possibly
ho tried TO spray and think OF doz-
en- other things at the same time:
maybe he was not doing n thorough
job because he had never seen
thorough job done. and his concep-
ton OF thoroughness was faulty.
Whatever the facts In the case may
be. we can assign the cause OF the
trouble only TO lack OF thoroughness
in the application OF tho spray.

Editorial Answer:

indicate that seed selection is Of
value with potatoes as well as other
crops. The small potatoes are not as
good for seed as the potato Of ideal
size and form. but. of course, these
small potatoes will do for seed, and
under favorable conditions will pro-
duce a crop only little less valu-
able. comparatively. than the larger
ones.

CONTINUED From First Pagc)
Times-Disputch and numbers OF other
good agencies have united thcir efforts
to let the farmers OF Virginia know
what they can do In the corn line, and
now some OF these progressive farmers
are letting the world know that as
corn growers they are strictly IN IL,
and do not ask any odds Of Kansas or
Nebraska or Missouri or any other
laud.
Tomplsirs Invndcs the West.
Why, they have dared to invade that
very territory and win prizes from
right under the noses OF the Nebras-
kans and the Kansas folks and tie
Missouriars
A few weeks ago tho National Corn
Exposition was held at Omaha. Neb.
il was q big thing, one of the biggest
things of It's kind ever held III tl'is
country There were exhibits from All
of the Western corn GROWING states
from Ohio 10 Colorado and tho Dako-
tins. Oklahoma aud Texas, Arkansas
and Montana. Washington and Mime
sofa. Iowa and Wisconsin, Missouri.
Indiana. Illinois. Ohio. and In fact al
of the Middle West states were largely
represented by exhibits ana exhibitors.
At least one Nirginian thought TO iet
the great West know that Old Vir-
ginia never tires. and c. w. Tompkins,
who with his sons runs the ormsbS
berry and dairy farm, in Caroline coun-
ty. near Quincy Station, was at this
big corn show with all exhibit OF ten
ears grown from the fertile fields OF
old Caroline county.
Mr.. Tompkins walked off with red
ribbon and special prize. That Is TO
say, In a contest In the ten-snr booth,
where more than zoo competitors
showed up, no obtained for old Caro-
line the second honor.
Honor to Whom Honor II Due.
In showing to me his much valued
red ribbon and telling me about the
exhibit, Mr. Tompkins says: "Profes-
sor S. b. Hedges should share with mo
this much appreciated honor, for the
better part of my seed was bred by
him on his Powhatan farm. according
to the method and the process ne mas
advocated in lectures all over virginia
| and North Carolina"
In further explanation Mr.. Tomp-
| ktns told me that the corn which won
! tho second honor at Omaha and tho
! special prize came from field or sew
| enteen acres. which produced fifty
bushels to the acre 1t was subsidized
| land, which had been well disked ana
worked before planting. The ferti-
lizer used was ordinary farm manure,
to which was added about 200 pounds
of acid phosphate to the acre.
AS has already been announced, the

will have its big meeting and exhibit
in this city in short while. beginning

It will be a gathering OF corn grow

SAYS PUBLIC OPINION
RIGHTED THIS WRONG

LOS ANGELES, May 1.-LEditor
Heraldl l notice the press of the
country is taking notice of the harsh
ness. not to say brutality, of the bench
of rural magistrates in Englant, who,
for the theft of a piece of coal. SEN
tences 12-year-old Charles Bulbeck to
seven years in a reformatory, with
six strokes of the birch rod added.
But the papers here do not give the
end of the story, which would furnish
so useful an object lesson on this side,
showing what little public spirit can
do in the righting of such wrongs. l
allude TO the prompt quashinG by the
home Office of the cruel sentence in
question, and the return of the boy
to his own home. How was this
brought about? Simply by the action
of a few public spirited citizens who
invoked the power of the press by
writing letters of protest to the daily
napers. Some scores of such letters
having appeared, a member OF pariia-
ment asked a question" in the house
OF Mr.. Winston Churchill, the home
secretary, which led to speedy redress.

brutal sentences passed on unfortu-
nate men in American cities, Los An

HOPE FOR HOBOES

n OLD line has it that genius

IA ern scientist says it is even more
closely related to habitual hoboism.
DR. E A. Spitzka, the brain specialist,
reports his autopsies have proved there
are many potential geniuses who are
not developed. He says: Exceptional
cases of large calosa in the extremely
heavy brains of dissecting room sub
iects may be those of intellectual
hoboes, potential geniuses that are, So
ciologically speaking, human wrecks,
that have frittered away their lives on
park benches, on the brakebeams of
freight cars or in lodging houses and
bar rooms-to end as paupers-dis-
secting room subjects"
For the sake of humanity, science
should devote itself to an investiga-
ton of the brains of professional ho-
boes. Shakespeares, Millions, HaW-
thornes, Stevensons, Edisons, Teslas
may be loafing on park benches and
riding joyously on brakebeams, all

LONG DISTANCE KISSES FOR
PRES. TAFT, SUGGESTS READER

ORANGE, Cal, April 29.-[Editor
Herald: l have been following with
interest accounts of the suffrage move
ment. had my say long ago, and meant
to let the work go on in more capable
hands.
Being a reader of The Herald, I read
women hiss Taft as he questions suf-
frage plans"
When those words fell from the pres
ident's lips, the walls of the hall
echoed a chorus of feminine Kisses.
1t was no feeble demonstration of pro-
test.
Now, have nothing personal
against the president. but l should not
think of asserting to his back that he
was of the less desirable class be-
cause of his difference of opinion-to
say openly and straight to his face
accuse him of being in league with
the less desirable class of men. What
less could they do than hiss?-they
could not excuse him, because he had
the floor. 1t was a simple involun-
tary outburst of proper resentment.
The worst feature of the affair, in
my estimation. is that the women were
too quick to be rebuked-and acknowl-
edge that they We're the cause of the
unpleasant situation.
Without a doubt the president of the
suffrage movement was present. Why
not have consideration of feelings? For
undoubtedly she is not of the less de-
sirable class, and is probably some
mans good wife-or mother.
Indeed, there was no reason for his
feelings to have been injured, for they
We're not kissing the president-only
the old worn out, old skeleton of
danger that the country would be run
by the less desirable women. But if he
or any one else would take the trouble
to investigate and decide fairly what
the general character and understand
ing were of advocates and workers of
suffrage, they would find them, as a
whole, representative of desirable wo
men.
I see no reason why long distance
Kisses should not be sent to the presi-
dent. A READER.
