Subsequent to the spraying season,
time should be taken to prepare the
spraying machinery for efficient work.
OF course the variety of the equipment
will be confined more or less accord
ing to the dimensions of the orchard.
Barrel pumps are desirable in or
chards of from two to FIVE acres. If
extra help and labor-saving equipment
Is available, they may be used in 10
acre orchards. Orchards in full bear
ing cannot be sprayed efficiently with
knapsack or bucket pumps. Large
size barrel pumps are recommended
where more than two barrels of mate
rial are needed to make an applica-
ton. The pressure must be generated
and maintained easily when the pump
Is in operation. This is one Of the
tests of good pump.
Clean and oil working parts before
and after each application.
Examine strainer on pump and re-
place when worn.
Keep a catalogue of numbered parts.
Do not allow the cylinder to leak,
but replace the packing when needed.
Do not allow pump to stand in mix
lures when not in use.
Use leads OF hose about 25 feet in
length. Ordinary hose used for lawn
sprinkling is not desirable; get five
or seven-ply one-half-inch spray hose,
guaranteed to stand $50 pounds pres
sure. This hose is usually made up
as ordered by firms who manufacture
mechanical rubber goods. In connec-
ton with the hose, bamboo extern

The Canada thistle is a perennial
plant, which ranges in height from
one to three feet, depending on condi-
tons. It is said to have received its
name from the fact that 1t was found
in the French settlements in Canada,
although 1t was later introduced by
the Dutch into New York and by the
English into Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. In England 1t is called corn
thistle" green thistle" or creeping
thistle"
The Canada thistle has no root.
stalks, but is possessed of true roots,
the parts of which are capable Of pro-
ducing plants. When undisturbed by
cultivation the roots are apt to lie
near the surface, but may go deeper
in cultivated soil and where it is par
ticularly loose and porous may be
found at a depth of three feet. The
roots are very hardy and by means of
oharp growing points will sometimes
send shoots up through two or three
feet of hard packed clay soil.
The seeds may be carried from
place to place by water in the shape
of spring foods, creeks, rivers, irri-
cation and drainage canals. They
may also be shipped in hay or grain,
but the most prolific source Of intro
duction is through grass and clover
seeds.
For this reason all grass and clover
seed should be carefully examined
before sowing, to make sure that it
contains no Canada thistle seed.
While Canada thistles produce more
or less seed, yet the increase of these
pests is largely due to the roots which
spread out rapidly in all directions
and are transplanted in widely diff
ferent portions of the farm by the
pillow, drag, and cultivator.
Many methods have been devised
ami advocated for the eradication OF
Canada thistles. Some methods may
be used effectively and economically on
small patches, but prove too costly
for use where the weeds are spread
over large areas. The method to be
used must be largely a matter OF
Judgment and suited to the circum-
stances.
In the interval between plowings,
the ground should be cultivated often
enough TO prevent all leaf growth
The spring tooth harrow makes an ex-
cellent tool for this purpose, but any
tool which will drag the roots to the
surface is satisfactory. The exposure

WILL LOOK TO
CANADA FOR WHEAT
ONE REASON why AMERICANS
GO TO CANADA,

In the Chicago Inter-Ocean of a few
days since reference was made to the
fact that in 1909 the United States
raised 7S7,1S9,000 bushels of wheat,
and last year grew only 695,443 900. a
decrease of 41,746,000 bushels. The
article went on to say: True we
raised last year more than enough
wheat for our own needs, but it is ap-
parent that if production continues to
decrease in that ratio we will soon
be obliged to look to other countries
for wheat to supply our rapidly In
creasing population"
The purpose of the article was to
show that reciprocity was to be de-
sired. This is question that do not
propose to deal with, preferring to
leave it to others who have made
greater study of that economic ques-
ton than I have The point to be
considered is, with the high price of
lands in the United States, and with
the much lower priced lands of Can
ada, and their ability to produce prob
ably more abundantly, is it not well
for the United States farmer to take
advantage of the opportunity Canada
/ affords with its lower-priced lands
, and take a part in supplying the needs
OF the United States, which il is quite
apparent must come sooner or later?

Tht Mozart Club of Plymouth is

Gently received from Elkhart to come
up there and assist in a music Fes-
tival to ge given there in May. This
festival is to be grand affair in the
realm of music. Composers Of wide
reputation are to be present and to
direct in person the rendering Of
their productions. The Mozart Club
are planning to give among other
things, the "Song Of Hope" by
Protheroe. Protheroe himself will
be there to hear it. Many eminent
soloists are also expected to be
present. Among the more famous
sing will be Evan Williams, the
noted tenor, who receives several
hundred dollars for an evenings work.
The Mozart Club, Of Plymouth
has been organized for several years
and has studied theoretically under
the guidance of so excellent a Direc-
tor as Prof. III. W. Owens of Chicago.
The Mozart Club is doing the same
work as similar organizations In the
better cities over the State. To be
asked by such a city as Elkhart to
take part in Festival with so man

to our local club and one which
should make all citizens of Plymouth

Pleasant Evening With Civic Club
at Home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Humric-
houser.

A large number of the members OF
the Civic Club met at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Humrichouser
Monday evening and spent a pleas
ant evening in the discussion of IN
teresting subjects, conversation
music and refreshments.
Prof. Harris gave a valuable talk
on "Bacteria In the Home" He
described the nature and growth OF
mold, yeast germs and bacteria. Most
Of our yeast, he said, was made from
the foam gathered from the ferment-
ed materials in the watts of breweries.
Bacteria were smaller, more num-
erous and mere dangerous than mold
or yeast germs. Sweeping carpets
with a broom, dustini, etc., are dan
gerous because they serve to scatter
the bacteria through the afr. The
vacuum cleaner is the thing to clean
with.
Dampness, staonant air and dark
ness are the three things which aid
the growth of bacteria. On the con-
trary sunlight, fresh air and dryness
prevent the growth of bacteria.

He thought what we needed more
than anything else was an enforce

pure food law was passed In 1852.
and the econd in 1867 since that time
the law has been extended and
amended, new acts having been
passed in 1881; in 1891, when the
State BOARD of health was created;
in 1893 when inspection by cities
was begun; in 1899, 1907 and 1909,
when the latest and best food laws
were made.
Some discussion was had on the
bills now before the legislature to al

opinion seemed to favor these bills.

CARRIERS TROUBLES

bad drift about seven miles out, his
horse plunged and broke the harness,
then ran about 20 rods down the
road. He concluded that racing in

snow and completed his route, getting

Ed Hess on route Seven got
through but broke a single-tree. Ray

Lert Berky on Two could not make
all his route.
Railway trains were not delayed
by the drifts as might be expected.
