REMOVE THE MUMMIES.


Dent Leave Them on Peach Trees 60
Infect the Treea Next Year.
After all the fruit has ripened and
gone and the leaves have fallen there
will still remain on many OF the
peach trees the dried up remains of
peaches. These dry. withered peaches
are called mummies. probably because
they are dead and yet seem to exist
long time without rotting. Mummied
peaches will hang On the tree all fall
and winter. and often till far into the
following spring. when the new grow
ing buds and shoots push them of.
To all appearances they are harmless.
But the mummy on the peach tree
is a source OF great evil in the fruit
orchard business On its sunken hide
it carries hundreds OF thousands OF
spores Of disease Next year these
spores, II allowed TO remain In the
orchard. viii be carried by wind, rain
and other agencies to other trees, to
cause the growing and ripening crop
to rot.
Many years the peach trees blossom
freely, abundance Of fruit sets and
grows to maturity, the peaches begin
to color and ripen, when all at once,
within a few days time, they all be-
gin to rot. Almost before we know 1t
all of the peaches on all the trees In
the orchard have rotted. Where there
was prospect for large and valuable
crop OF perfect peaches now IL only
more than worthless rotten trash, and
all has happened before we could help
ourselves.
The remedy for disease IN the or
chard caused by spores f. spraying and
washing with bordeaux mixture. This
mixture will xii! and keep in check
nearly all fungous diseases IL the
treatment IL given in the right way
and at the right times.
OF course It Is needless to make the
applications after the disease or rot
has once got under way, any more
than 1t is to give medicine to a sick
animal when 1t IL dying. The disease
must be taken In time and the medi-
cine given in the earlier stages IL 1t
is to do much good, and prevention
is better than cure.

The important points to be consid-

The Man of 45 in Business

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 There is no reason why employers and men of affairs should not freely join the league against tlfe anti-45-year ago limit No one knows better than level headed, experienced employer tho value of the training, discipline steadiness acquired by man of 40 or over. A rule against middle age would indeed be absurd and suicidal Of course there are positions in which youth is highly desirable, for youth spells ann bition, initiative, progressiveness, pro- motion. Young men expect to grow up with their calling. rise in 1t and do 1t and themselves credit. The man of 45 does not expect to become president" of the company which engages him.
 But in every industry or business there is great need for the qualities and characteristics of middle age. Let the appeal be, not to philanthropy, but to common sense and self interest There is danger in any ready made for mula, convention, prejudice or craze. The well managed firm will not be- come a slave to a formula or rule. It will encourage investigation and dis crimination. Some men in 50 are, per haps, the very men it needs. The ques- ton is. in any given case, what the applicant is, what he has done, what his training has been, not how old he is.
 To repeat, sensible employers will heartily cooperate with an efficient anti-age limit employment league or agency, provided the latter will supply information and not mere generalities and agitation.
