The following materials for colored
concrete work have been recommend.
ed by an American authority, accord
ing to Cement Age. The quantities
given are per barrel Of cement, mixed
dry with the cement and sand. The
sand must be thoroughly dry. In
mixing the colors should be made
deeper than the required tint, as dry
ing results in bleaching. Venetian

be used, as they are liable TO run and
fade. The schedule for colors is as
follows:
For brown, 25 lbs. best roasted iron
oxide; or Is 10 20 lbs. brown ocher.
For black, 45 lbs. manganese diox-

For blue, 10 lbs. ultramarine.

What the result will be is, Of course,

This corn experiment was the con-

In the three years OF work while he
was alive the number OF boys In the
corn clubs increased TO $4,000.
The average corn crop OF the United
States ia about 20 bushels to the acre,
but some OF the boys raised as much
as 22S bushels to the acre, at cost
Of about 40 cents a bushel, including
a charge for their own work. Some
OF the crops that ran more than 100
bushels an acre cost only cents TO

But the clean milk question comes
close home when one looks over the

milk consumers. The medical figures
show that an appalling number of
them succumb every year, especially
in summer TO the work Of those same

4 SCOURGE OF ORCHARDS

BY Or. Leonard Hsseman, Professor
Of Entomology, University
Of Missouri.


The San Jose Scale was introduced
into Missouri some eighteen years
ago and has already become so firmly
established that hopes OF its complete
determination have long since van.

We can only hope to control II by pre-
venting it from spreading further, and
by cleaning up the orchards already
infested. The control OF this pest
can not be accomplished by any one
man or any dozen men, but requires
the concerted efforts OF each and
every fruit grower in the state. wheth-
er he be a commercial grower or a
farmer with a small home orchard.
il is the duty of every one engaged in
fruit growing to acquaint himself With
this pest and the methods OF contnu-

and know exactly what steps to take
when he finds it in bis orchard.
The control Of the scale is really
quite simple TO be sure. It is a very
resistant insect but with the best
scale washes and the modern i'm
proved methods of spraying, it is al
extremely easy matter TO control II.
In the control OF this pest, FIRST be
sure that your trees are infested, then
provide yourself with the proper wash
and apparatus and spray thoroughly.
You can hardly spray an infested tree
too thoroughly. The washes that we
use for scale Kill by coming in con

be hit
Nursery stock that is infested can
be treated by dipping or fumlgating
Large trees must be sprayed unless |
extensive fumigation is practced !
This is usually too difficult to be |
practicable. Spraying is best done |
