could fill the columns from these re-
ports. The general tenor of all them
is the apple crop is short-in some
cases a total failure. We can from
these reports see why the government
reports show that the apple crop of
the whole country is below the average
for the past ten years, and not up to
the crop of the last year.
No one has reported the apple crop
of the whole country as failure.
Such a thing we will never have, uE-
less conditions change very much.
What the reports show is that the ap-
pie crop is not up to the average. We
know that for some years past the APP
pie Shippers Association has tried to
make 1t appear early in the season
that the apple crop in the United
States and Canada was very large and
that prices must be low but later in
the season have been compelled to ad-
NIT their mistake. If it will not be
so this year will miss my guess.

$4,000 REWARD

We offer 81, 900 reward to hirelings
of the insurance combine to prove their
statements made to intimidate persons
and prevent their taking advantage of
the service property owners are re-
ceiving through the Northwestern
Mutual Fire Association.
The four statements ordinarily made
are:
First: That all policies in the COM
pany carry an assessment liability.
Second: That the company not hav-
ing subscribed capital does not fur
nish it's policyholders good indemnity.
Third: That Mutual companies as
good as the Northwestern are contin-
ally failing.
Fourth: That there are many times
as many failures of Mutual companies
as of Stock companies.
1t is to prove these statements that
we offer the reward.
First we offer 81, 900 to anyone who
will prove that our policies are not
absolutely worcestershire.
Second: We offer 81 900 to anyone
who will prove that this company has
not more actual cash resources in pro-
portion to the amount needed to carry
all it's policies TO expiration than the
U0u ldTS6SU COlu JdulCo Ill UhO
United States, including all their SUBJ
scribed capital and surplus as based on
the past nine years experience.
Third: We offer $1,000 to anyone
who will show the failure of single
Mutual fire insurance company in all
American history after it had reached
the age, size, strength and record of
this company.
Fourth: We offer $1,000 to anyone
who will prove that there have not
been so per cent. more failures of
Stock companies during the past forty
years in proportion to the number do
ing business than there have been fail
ures of Mutual companies.
These people should either claim the
reward or stop misrepresenting.

DUST SPRAYING ABANDONED

This may apply to new fruit or it may

other like things. The good will sur

A good illustration of what | mean is

spray. few years ago this method
of spraying was proclaimed as the

do not know. | wish to make quo
tation from the Farm Journal relative
to this once popular fad: dust
spraying, or busting, says Prof. ii.
A. Surface was at one time strongly
advocated because it could be done
more quickly than liquid spraying,
and with much less waste of material;
but it has been found that to be
effective it must be done only when
the leaves are damp, as after a rain
or dew. Moreover, it should be re-
peated five or six times to be as ETH
Gent as one good liquid spraying.
Those who have been practicing dust
ing have given it up; and even in
Missouri, where it was extensively
advertised and recommended, there
have recently been series OF expert
ments performed, showing that it is
not so reliable as liquid spraying and
is no longer recommended. p"
We tried this dust spraying on
small scale but now ouI dust sprayer
can be bought very cEeaply. My sons
say in our immediate neighborhood a
number of these sprayers could be
bought for a song. This experience
leads me to say that a new untried

before any one should spend much
money on it.
Sometimes a new thing may be par
TALLY successful and to some extent a
failure. An illustrate on Of this fact
may be found in the recent fad about
killing weeds on lawns and in fields.
Some people seemed to be ready to
throw away the hoe and the cultivator
and kill all the weeds with the sprink-
Ter. The University of Wisconsin has
recently issued a bulletin entitled,
"The Eradication of Farm Weeds
with Iron Sulphate.' This bulletin
shows that with some kinds of weeds,
if the material is thoroughly applied
and the effort persisted in, success is
attained with other weeds the effort
is always a failure. The bulletin says
"Canada thistles are not killed when
sprayed with iron sulphate. - Wild
mustard and dandelions were killed
with this spray. Here is the statemenG
on the destruction of dandelions:
"Dandelions were sprayed in the
morning after the dew had disappear
ed and the day promised fair. On the
lawns the hand sprayeI or sprinkling
can with fine nozzle was used. The
more persistent plants that revived
after the spraying were sprinkled with
dry iron suIphate in the evening three
days after the lawns we're sprayed.
This application killed nearly all the
remaining plants. The spraying had
no detrimental effect upon the lawn
grass. 1t was discolored to some ex
tent, but soon regained it's natural
color and was as vigorous as ever.
Since the iron sulphate solution will
discolor cement walls and light color
ed cIothing, care should be exercised
in it's use.''
AS dandelions are one of the serious
pests in our lawns both in the city
and the country, it will be advisable
to give this method thorough test
Our readers should be reminded that
sulphate of iron is simply the old
fashioned copperas which our moth ers
used in coloring. Sulphate of iron is
called green vitriol while suIphate of
copper is called blue vitriol. The two
vitriols should not be confounded for
what one will accomplish the other
will not.
Some important matters have lately
come in that will have to go over to
our next issue.

rye grass is producing fair yield of
straw not so thick nor so tall as the
other. The estimated yield of this
field was about two tons per acre. On
this type of soil other promising hay
plants are the hairy vetch, scarlet
vetch and the Tangier pea. The re-
suits with common vetch have been
discouraging. All of these vetches
and the Tangier pea were fall-sow n.
Six or seven varieties of field peas, all
spring -sown, are rapidly growing and
are showing good results.
On the valley soil where the various
pure varieties are being grown the
English rye grass, orchard grass,
meadow fescue and tall meadow oat
grass have been harvested. Each one
of these grasses covered plat one
eightieth of an acre in extent. The
English rye grass produce hay at the
rate of 80 tons per acre, orchard grass

tall meadow oat grass As tons. Wood
and meadow grass and creeping bent
grass which were cut at the same
time, have not cured as rapidly and
will not be weighed for day or two.
The grasses which are late in matur-
ing worthy of mention are red top

bronze grass. The plat of Italian rye
grass, which produced a very good
crop of hay last year, has been allow
ed to stand in order to reseed the
ground. Italian rye grass ordinarily
produces a heavier crop than the
English variety, as it grows larger
stems and a greater variety was grown
and a greater Fer cent of foliage.
Oats. Nineteen varieties are being
tested on both clay, upland and val
ley, sandy loan soil. Particular no.
tice is taken as to their rust resist
ant characteristics, as we'll as the
yield of hay, or grain. since this
characteristic is as important as any.
Rye.-Four varieties of winter rye
and one spring rye are being tested.
All are very promising.
Wheat. Fifteen varieties of winter

grown for yield OF grain, and straw
free from rust, thus making the
same more desirable, or to be grown
with vetch or field peas or soiling or

Owing to the nearnass Of these to
the eyes and the great tendency for
preparations to work their way to the

nary hair stimulants are barred. Even
glycerin is frequently cause OF eye

harm, They promote growth and
