brance to the land. rather than source
of profit. as is the sprayed orchard.
The materials used in spraying are
relatively cheap. Paris green costs from
thirty to thirty-five cents per pound.
Lead arsenate from nine to sixteen, or
when purchased in one pound lots only,
may cost as much as twenty-five cents.
The materials required for the Bordeaux
mixture, are copper sulphate or blue
stone at from five to eight cents per
pound. and lime at one-half cent or less
per pound. A barrel Of spray when
combining treatment for codling moth
and fungus diseases requires; two pounds
arsenate of lead at twelve and one-half
cents, five pounds of copper sulphate at
six cents and five pounds of lime at one
half cent; the whole amounting to fifty
seven and one-haif cents. This amount
of spray applied under average condi-
tions, will spray twenty apple trees OF
the size usually reached by good
healthy fifteen-year-old tree. making
the cost of material per tree less than
three cents. The cost of labor varies
so that it is difficult to make an accu-
rate estimate. Three men with good
barrel outfit can spray at least $50 trees
in day. With supply tank holding
more liquid than the barrel they will
be able to spray more, as less time will
be consumed in replenishing the supply.
The spraying of an orchard for the
season should not cost. at the very out
side, more than twenty cents per tree.
Profits From Spraying.
The profits from spraying are even
harder to estimate than the cost of the
operation. In the experimental orchard
at Marshall Hall in 1903. the crop of
apples from the unsprayed trees was
negligible, scarcely worth the picking.
while on the trees sprayed, even those
which received but single treatment,
the crop was. in spite of the fact that
the trees were small and the blossoms
very light, worth two and half dollars
per tree. Previous to this time. the
owner had not realized anything from
the orchard.
The yield Of saleable apples secured
from the sprayed trees in the station
orchard, is at least double that from the
unsprayed trees, and when, as is the
case here, the yield per sprayed tree is
in the neighborhood of ten bushels per
tree, the profit from spraying is easily
above two dollars per tree. In several
of the demonstration orchards, the pro-
fits were even more marked than those
given above.
In an orchard where there are forty
trees per acre. with an outlay of less
than twenty cents per tree or eight dol
lars per acre, the orchard can be made
to pay from eighty to one hundred dol
lars per acre more than it would other
wise have paid. No one can doubt the
wisdom Of the investment. The average
farmer would not hesitate to invest a
| like amount in fertilizers for his crops
| IL he were sure of a proportionate
increase in yield. The orchardist can
not afford to neglect spraying any more

MEASURE BEFORE DUMA
Ban on Hebrews and Customs Duties
Raised 100 Per Cent.
REVELATION OF RESENTMENT
Introduction of the Bill Not Re-
garded With Concern at the
State Department..

ST PETERSBURG, December GA
supplementary legislative proposal of a
frankly prohibitive character was intro
duced by the nationalists into the duna
today. 1t is aimed directly at the United
States. According to the terms of the
proposed enactment American citizens of
the Jewish religion are to be totally ex-
cluded from Russia. and In the second
place customs duties are to be raised by
100 per cent unless the Russian normal
schedule is lower than the American In
that case a duty equaling the American
duty will be collected.
The author of the bill states that the
last provision is necessary in order to deal
with the import of American agricultural
machinery.
The remaining points of the proposed
bill correspond in virtually every particu-
lar with the bill introduced December q
by ex-President Guchkoff, providing for
tariff schedules applicable to the United
States at the expiration Of the Russo
American commerce and navigation treaty
Of 1892.

MILL LOCKOUT
HITS 10000 WORKERS
Notices Posted in Lancashire
That They Will Not Reopen
Until Further Notice.

MANCHESTER, England December 81.
Notices were posted this morning at all
OF the mills belonging to members Of the
Federation of Master Cotton Spinners in
the north and orIheast of the county of
Lancashire that the cloth mills will be
closed tonight and not reopened until
further notice
Weavers to the number of 100000 will
thus be locked out to night and about an
equal number of spinners will be reduced
Immediately to half time with every
prospect of complete stoppage of work
If the trouble should be prolonged
The Federation of Master Cotton Spin
ners at a meeting this morning decided
that it was impossible to continue turn
ing out yarn while the looms were idle.
They will therefore curtail production by
stopping work on three days in each
week beginning January /.
The hopes that man named Riley
and his wife, the two non-unionists
whose employment originated the strike
in the Helene mill at Accrngton Decem-
Der 20, which led to the lockout, would
consent to join the union and thus OBJ
viate a rupture between the employers
and the workers have, been finally shat
tered. The Rileys have resisted every in
ducehlent thrown out to them to join the
union and announced late last night that
their determination was unalterable.
