PLUM APHIS.

Samuel Lindsay, Camano, WASH,
writes:
ga neighbor has a few four year
old prune trees which are badly in
tested by some kind of insect. The
trees set heavily with fruit but the
leaves curl and she fears that they
will all die. l asked her to inclose
some of the leaves and insects in an
envelope and | would send them to
you for an opinion. l am reader of
The Ranch and read all your articles
and consider them the best on sub
jects treated [ have ever seen-eyery
word good common sense.'
By the time [ received the envelope
named the insects had disappeared,
but had no trouble in determining
that the insects are the plum arhis.
If the weather has been as hot at
Camano as it has been in Seattle since
Mr.. Lindsay wrote, the chances are
that these aphides have been killed.
See what l have said about the pre-
valence of the aphides on Puget Sound
and the treatment recommended. If
the black leaf or the black-leaf 40 can
be secured, give it trial and my
opinion is that you will kill all these
insects if you succeed in reaching
them with this tobacco solution

EXAMPLES OF PARCELS POST

A young German working in Seattle
went to the post Office the other day
with two packages to be sent by mail.
Each weighed just four pounds. He
handed one of them to the right per

would cost to send that to Germany.

fully. Don't let the affected parts
touch any other trees, especially pears
and apples, and be sure to sterilze
your knife by dipping in carbolic
acid. If you have fruit inspector
in your county, call him and let him
see the condition of your tree. 1t is
just possible that this is not pear
blight. But if it is then stamp it out
if you have to destroy every tree
affected.

TO DETERMINE PRESENCE OF
SCALE.

Robert Spokesman, of Oregon,
writes under date of July II, asking
how he can be sure that no scales are
on twigs that he may secure from
section where this pest abounds. l
would recommend that he submit his
twigs to some one who knows the
scale when he sees it. l could tell
whether twig was infected with scale
by looking at it even without glass.
Once person knows this insect he
will have no trouble in determining
whether twigs are infested. Mr..
Spokesman wants to do some budding
or grating with these twigs and is
afraid he may introduce the dreaded
San Jose scale in this way. Ii he
find any one who does, he can put
himself on the safe side by dipping
these twigs in a strong solution of
the lime sulphur wash used in spray
ing for the scale. This PREPARATION is
certain death to the scale as we know
by actual experience in its use. We
have had the San Jose scale on our
Yakima fruit ranch for the past eight
years and by spraying with the $3.50
formula we have kept this pest in such
complete subsection that we practical
ly suffer no loss.
Mr.. Spokesman further writes:
ga year ago last spring l planted a
lot of Spitzenburg apple trees, and
this spring l discovered that on a
good many of them the bark had
burst close to the ground and was
loosened about half way around the
trees. I would like to do something
to prevent this next winter. Will it
help by killing them up somewhat"
The bark on Spitzenburg trees fire.
quently dies in strips and ultimately
this ruins the trees. l much prefer
Spitzenburg trees top worked on some
thrifty variety like the Ben Davis.
All my living Spitzenburg trees, and
[ have several hundred, are top graft
ed on Ben Davis, Northern Spy and
Missouri Pippin. 1 would not grow
this variety on its own body. Killing
up may do some good if the injury is
from freezing. Be careful to keep
the water off your orchard in the fall
if you irrigate, and let your trees be
we'll prepared for winter.

you want to kill off your boys, let
them have the same poison through
the use of cigars and pipes. There
ought to be some good use to which
we can put tobacco and here it is
when we are killing ticks and aphides.

Why buy your fruit and ber-

There is hardly a farm garden

Blanche Rinq.

Suit the word to the action, suit the action to the word wrote cer- tain William Shakespeare few hun dred years ago.
 T see Brother Shakespeare and go him one better" says Blanche Ring, "I suit the word to the action, the action to the word, and toss in a smile for each-sEmetimes two or three smiles"
 The success of Blanche Ring as a maker of popular melodies, lies in her ability to project wholesome, happy, healthful personality across the foot lights. The difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary singer is that the former depends upon the song, and the latter deepnds upon the singing. To the self-dependent class belongs Miss Ring. When she selects a song, she brings to it the same studious attention that marks her study of a speaking part. She analyses the lyrics and the melody, Investigating the intention and the effects of each word and note, that she may give to the combination of verse and music what she conceives to be the best possible interpretation. That she Is an excellent judge of songs is patent from her selection of such numbers as Top O the Morn ing, Nora Malone" "Yip-I- Addy,r or Rings on My Fingers you are con scious of a desire to "Yip!" when she "Yipsi" in the former and "Whoopl" when siie "Whoopsr' in the latter. And there you are. When Blanche Ring smiles, everybody smiles, and when Blanche Ring sings, everybody sings, or at least they feel like it.

Just What He Wanted.

The superintendent Of the capitol
and its grounds at Washington was
walking along one Of the corridors In
the house Office building one day when
a greenhorn congressman, stewing
with rage, grabbed him by the sleeve.
"What's the matter?" asked the su'
perintendent, observing the mans emo
ton. .
"Matter!' shouted the congressman.
"Why, when l went into my Office
last evening there was brand new
typewriter on the desk. Now it's gone.
You've got a lot Of thieves around
here"
The official walked into the Office
and without a word lifted the trap
cabinet of the desk and brought the
typewriter into view.

They Insisted on 5revity..

The Spartans were distinguished for
the brevlty' and conciseness of their
speech. On one occasion during ter
rible famine the inhabitants Of an is
land in the Aegean sea sent an am
bassador to SPARTA who made u
speech imploring it's aid. He had
hardly finished before the Spartans
sent him back these words, eve did
not understand the end Of your speech
and have forgotten the beginning"
The poor, starving people chose an
other spokesman and impressed upon
him to make his request as brief as
possible. He therefore took with him
a quantity Of sacks, opened one be-
fore the assembly and said simply,
ut is empty; fill it"
The sack was filed as well as the
others, but the chief of the assembly
said as he dismissed the ambassador,
loaded with meal: 1T wasn't neces-
sary to inform us that the sack was
empty. We saw it ourselves. Neither
was it necessary to request us to fill
it. We should have done it on our
own account. Be less long winded

GOV, BURKE finds
MUCH: MAIL; WAITING

Gov. Burke spent the day in his

accumulated during the past week.
The governor has been very busy
official of late. what with visiting
state institutions, the soldiers encamp-
ment, tesathahniaetrdft
ment. the state fairand the meetings
of the state board of equalization,
Governor Burke has not had much
time for Office matters, and when he
came home one week ago he found
the furniture of the executive depart
ment out in the main corridor, with
the cleaners, painters and kalsominers
at work and there was little chance
to take up mail matters, but the
Offices have now been thoroughly
cleaned and renovated and everything
back in it's old place.
One of the most interesting and
pieces of mail received
by the governor is letter from a resi-
dent of Max. The writer fails to
sign his name, which is fatal over
sight, but the contents of the brief
epistle makes up for the delinquency.
to the writer Max has a.
few residents who hs0uld receive Of
fetal attention, but the letter will
not provoke executive action for the
reason charges are too indefinite.
The governor, however. is careful
10 acknowledge all communications
reaching him.

Punctuation In Piano Playing.

Punctuation IN PiAno PjayIn0.
A joke is going the rounds Of the
press about the girl whose music teach
er wished to compliment her, but of
whom he could only say that she play
ed the rests excellently. This is, how
ever, real praise of sort, for it is not
every young student Of music who is
careful about playing the rests well.
Indeed, great many players seem to
forget that the rests are just as much
Of the piece as is the punctuation in
sentence. Nowadays people do not
put in SO much punctuation as they
used to do, but the pauses in the voice
are there just the same and are readi-
~ understood by good readers and al
ways regarded. The rests in music
are like the pauses in reading that are
needed to give expression to the SEN
fences. If the player sights the rests
or extends them too long the whole ef-
feet Of the musical sentence is spoiled.
