RED SPIDER.
Directions for Destroying the Pest
on Cotton or Other Plants.

on Cotton or Other Plants.
Several Inquiries have been re-
ceived asking for a method of pre-
venting damage by the red spider
on cotton. Numerous garden plants
and sometimes trees also are at
tackled by red spiders and either one
of the two methods described below
will serve to prevent this injury.
First: One method is to pick all
the visibly affected leaves-this Of
ten means to take the whole plant
and destroy by burning. If this
is done when the injury is first no.
ticed, the further spread may be
largely prevented. The red spiders
usually commence work on a small
area and gradually spread in all d.
rections. Some cotton growers de-
pend entirely on preventing the red
spider by this method of burning the
infested plants.
Second: The most thorough meth
cd OF killing the red spider is to
spray the infested plants with some
mixture such as kerosene emulsion
or lye-sulphur mixture. The latter
is preferable because it can be ap-
piled without any injury to the plants
and can be cheaply prepared.
Formula for Lye-Sulphur Mixture.
Mix pounds of flowers of sui
phur into a paste with cold water:
then add 1 pound of pulverized caus-
tic soda Oye). The dissolving I've
will boil and party dissolve the sui
phur. Water must be added slowly
to prevent burning until about two
gallons have been added. When the
mixture is thoroughly dissolved and
through boiling it may be diluted
with water to make one barrel of
mixture. This is the strength that
will kill the red spider without any
injury to the plants. Experiments
have shown that thorough appli-
cation kills from 95 to ss per cent
OF the red spiders.
The above mixture must be an
piled with a spray pump, and nozzle
throwing a fne spray, and the un-
derside Of the leaves must be COW
cred. The red spiders feed mostly
underneath the leaves. The lye-sul-
phur mixture sprinkled over the
plants from watering pot would do
practically no good. The spray pump
is almost absolutely necessary for
this work.
In sections where the red spider
Is an annual pest, it would pay farm
ers to keep on hand a small spray
pump and be prepared to use the lye-
sulphur mixture before the spiders
have spread over the large area.

is Wanted.
Messrs. Editors: In order to make
a successful crop under boil weevil
conditions, the plants Of variety of
colors should have the following
qualities:
Cd The first fruit limb must be
low, not higher than the fifth or sixth
joint above the seed leaf joint.
GU The wood or primary limbs
must be low, and it is desirable that
they should not exceed four in num-
Der. The first limb should not be
higher than the afth or sixth joint
above the seed leaf joint.
CD The joints in the main stem,
in the fruit limbs, and in the primary
limbs must be short. not exceeding
one to three inches in the lower part
Of the plant.
Cd Fruit hmbs should grow at the
successive joints of both the main
stem and the wood limbs.
60 Fruit limbs should be contin-
uous in growth, for continuous fruit
ing until the plant is matured.
(6) The largest leaves should not
be wider than five or six inches across
at right angles to the mid-rib.
Other qualities which do not affect
early and rapid fruiting and matur-
ity, but which add greatly to the
profits of the crop. are size of boil,
percentage of lint, length of fiber, and
storm-resistance. These qualities are
specified as follows:
CD The bolls should not be small
er than As to so to the pound of seed
cotton.
60 The burs or open bolls should
be storm-proof. and yet easy to pick.
90 The yield of lint to seed cotton
should be as high as possible, but not
less than SO per cent on good-sized
seed. And fiber not less than 1 1-16
inches in length.
A plant that has low fruit limbs,
short joints and long fruit limbs,
does not have to grow as large as a
long-jointed plant would have to
grow to make the same quantity of
fruit. and likewise the smaller plant
will be brought to earlier maturity,
and its cotton will open earlier than
long-jointed plant. More of the
short-jointed plants can be grown on
the land and a greater yield secured
IN a shorter time. Early and rapid
fruting are Of great Importance as a
means Of setting the crop in bolls be-
fore serious damage can be done by
boil worms and boil weevils, or be-
fore early drouth.

County Normal Graduation.

Sixteen county normal pupils grad
uated with honors, Tuesday evening,
when they were awarded certificates
of merit from the state of Michigan
and from the local board of educa-
tion.

normal room in the central school
building. The room was prettily
decorated with maple leaves, white
blossoms and incandescent lights.
large number of relatives and
friends of the graduates attended
The program opened with invoca-
tion by Rev. A. ]. Holland. A song
by the class followed, and the ad-

by Mr.. Holland, who took the place
of Rev. George Laughton, the latter
being unable to attend. Mr.. Holland
spoke upon the force Of personality,

A double quartet from the menr-
bers of the class then rendered AN

by Miss Helen Ward followed, and
was we'll received.

Flag Day-June ~.

The American Flag Association,
which a few years ago organized to So
cure wider observance of the anniver-
sary Of the adoption of the American
flag, is out with circular recommend
ing the observance of the day, which
occurs June IA. The flag of the Ameri.
can colonies was the British union en-.
sign in the upper corner with thirteen
stripes, alternately red and white, for
the field. June ID, 1777, the American
congress resolved that "the flag of the
thirteen United States be thirteen stars,
white in blue field, representing new
constellation. The stars were arranged
in circle to suggest perpetuity. The
soldiers could not forget the crown, and
the stars were arranged in alternating
rows of three and two stars each. This
was the ensign of the revolutionary
war. May 1, 1906, the flag OF the Unit
ed States was changed to fifteen stripes,
alternating red and white, and fifteen
white stars, in a blue field. July A,
1918, the flag was changed to thirteen
horizontal stripes, alternately red and
white, and twenty white stars in blue
field Congress also enacted that one
star should be added to the flag with
the admission of every new state into
the union, and that such addition
should take place on the fourth of July
that immediately followed the admis.
sion. Today forty.six stars in the fac
tell of the,nation's growth and strength.
1t is to honor the flag that its ami
versary is now observed. and the OBJ
servance consists of making general
display of American flags on the day in
question-June IA. Every house and
every building should be adorned fol
just that one day with the stars and
stripes.
