Now is the Time to Spray for Black
Spot Canker.

Apples having this disease have been
examined this week at the State Expert
ment Station and found to be distribut-
ing spores. Spores are also distributed
at this season from the canker on the
limbs and trunks of diseased trees.
These spores are carried by insects,
water drops and wind to other parts Of
the same tree and to neighboring trees.
Many of tn e m will develop W
cankers. To prevent this spread Of
the disease, affected orchards should be
sprayed as soon as possible after the
apples are picked. The spray solution
used may be either Sulphur-Lime (spe-
cifc gravity 1.02), or double strength
Bordeaux, as preferred. AS soon as the
leaves fall another spraying should be
given. The spraying should be supple

Peaceful Valley" At The Scenic

Peaceful Valley with Lee Willard
in the leading role will be the Offering
at the Scenic Theater tonight. Al
Astoria where the play was presented a
few months ago, the newspapers had
the following to say:
Sol Smith RusselPs celebrated
comedy was presented last night at the
Astoria theater to delighted audience.
To many people the old story of the
play requires little introduction. With
the possible exception Of The Old
Homestead or rip Van Wrinkle" nc
dramatic literature is a more profound
classic in the annals OF the American
stage. Lee Willard in the familiar role
of Hosea Howe portrayed this exacting
role with convincing effect. His artistic
acting of this typical American charac-
ter leaves nothing to be desired in
comparison to the great interpreters who
have assayed this exacting role. No
better demonstration of a simple but
powerful moral has ever been preached
on the stage and the non-threatre-goers
as well as the regular attendandants
must leave the theatre with greater
sympathy for his fel!owman after witness
ing this excellent play. The support
ing company enlists the highest recon-
mendation. Whether you have seen
Peaceful Valley" or not, visit to the
Scenic theatre will offer you a new
charm of this worthy comedy"
Miss Helen Scanlon. whose singing

comedy that was here a few weeks
ago, will be with the company and sing
between acts.

enough to furnish real sport for the

Some astounding feats in eleventh

achieved by the great artists of the
world.
Sir Edwin Landseer had promised a
picture for the spring exhibition of
the British institution in 1915, but on
the day before the exhibition was to
be opened all the hanging committee
had received was an empty frame,
which was duly hung in the position
of honor.
AS the prospect of receiving a pic
ture for the frame seemed to the com
mittee to be slight, a member thereof
went to see the artist. He found
Landseer standing in front Of a bare
canvas.

the great a pointing to the canvas.

And he was as good as his word. A

was delivered and may be seen today
in the National gallery. This wonder
