NUMBER IS
KEEP SPRAYING.
Very Satisfactory Results May Be OBJ.
tained by the Use Of a Small
Cheap Pump.

An Allegheny county cores
pondent wrote to Professor H. A
Surface, Economic Zoologist, Har
risburg, Pa, for information as to
whether it was necessary to have
a traction or high power spray
pump in order to obtain good re-
suits in spraying for scale. Pro-
fessors reply will be found of val
ue to others, and is as follows:
Replying to your letter of the
18th inst, asking if it is neces-
sary to use a traction spray pump
to spray trees, or if good work
in spraying can be done with a
small pump, | can say thati it can
be in a thoroughly effective man.
ner with any kind of pump or ap-
paratus that will cover the bark
of twigs, branches and trunks
with the liquid. In fact, | know
of a man near Harrisburg who
sprayed few unusually large ap
pie trees with a very small hand
pump, that worked like a squirt
gun. He climbed the tree with
a ladder, and with strong lime
sulfur solution in a bucket, and
drew the liquid into a hand pump
and sprayed it over the trees,
continuing this until he had COW
cred them, and he afterward said
that he had excellent results in
the control of the scale.
1T does not make any differ
ence in fact whether the trees
are sprayed or washed. 1t is not
essential for the lime-sulfur solu-
ton to go on the trees in the form
of a spray in order to kill the
scale. 1t can be applied as SOL
id stream, and it will do the work
and also will not injure the trees
in the least. If a light pump is
used at an elevation by which the
trees could be reached, and the
upper and lower sides of the
branches were covered by the
liquid, it is all that could be eX-
pected even from a larger or hea
vier pump, and the result should
be satisfactory. That is one of
the beauties of the lime-sulfur
preparation, that it does not
make any difference how the
lime-sulfur is applied, just so it
covers the bark. understand
this is not true of the oils, as one
can not do heavy job of drench-
ing without injuring the trees,
but even with oil sprays a light
pump can be used in such a way
as to be satisfactory as. a heavy
pump. The only difficulty is that
with a light apparatus it takes
much longer to be through in the
application.

From Brother Bryuer.

In sending a dollar to renew
his subscription, Rev. C. w. Bry-
ner formerly pastor on the Nc
Connellsburg- Knobsville-Ft. Lit
tleton charge, but now in Cen
tralia, Pa, says the FULTON
COUNTY NEWS is a very welcome
weekly visitor to their home.
Mr.. Bryner says: when it ar
rives on Friday morning, activi-
ties about the manse usually
cease until we have scanned its
pages, learned of the arrivals and
departures, the weddings and di-
vorces, the good fortunes and the
misfortunes of our Fulton friends.
We were exceedingly sorry to
learn of the sad accident and
death of our old and much es-
teemed friend, D. V. Sipes, but
feel that our loss is his gain.
We are well as usual and busy
endeavoring to hold down our
job, and one of the indications
that we have, at least, been
partially successful in our efforts
is the fact that, after 3 years of
tolerance on the part of our peo-
pie in this place, we have been
unanimously invited and urged
to return for a fourth year.
Our church and Sunday school
is in a fourishing condition, for
a mining town in which Catho-
locism is in the ascendency.

Xmas evening a very entertain
ing Cantata, entitled: "Santa's

over 400 Xmas treats, including

die Roll.

Organized Bible Class with a

the class on last Friday evening
we had an attendance of 60. We
have in our Sunday school GO
members who are entitled to an
S5c gold pin given as a reward
for a perfect record of attend
ance during the year 1913.
Our men in this section are not
working quite full time at pres
ent, which is unusual for this
season of the year, but the sup
ply of stored coal seems to be
greater than the demand. We
are paying for pea coal at the
mines $2.S5, and for Chestnut
and stove grades, $685. per long
ton of 2240 younds.

all our Fulton County friends a
happy and prosperous New Year,

friend noting the half-hearted-
ness of the dairy business in Full
ton county, applied the words of
good old Nehemiah and asked
why should the work cease?"
About twenty-five years ago the
dairy business as such started in
our community with the advent
of the creamery. At that time
there was but one bank in Nc
Connellsburg, and it could show
deposits averaging only $35, 900.
Now the combined deposits of
the two banks reach a total Of
over 5000, 900. There are other
reasons for the large advance in
surplus earnings, but the dairy
cow is the big reason, because in
her is the source of steady in
crease week by week through
the year. By her, are the girls
and boys given employment; by
her are the babies, calves, and
pigs nourished; by her are the
other products of the farm reduc
ed to smaller bulk and greater
profits: by her, are future beef
supplies kept up, and by her is
built the manure pile a vertiable
Farmers Bank. Our county is
isolated from railroads, and hence
the necessity of marketing our
products in concentrated form
and at the same time preserving
and increasing the fertility of our
farms.
During 1912 the price of but
ter averaged thirty cents pound
an increase of ten CENTS per
pound since 1904. In 1912, 600,
900 pounds of butter was made
in one of our creameries-an in
croase over 1911 of so per cent
Probably the other creamery did
equally we'll. Does 1913 tell as
good a story? Be, that as it may
there is food for thought in the
fact that there is a disposition at
the present time to drop out of the
dairy business, a disposition that
bodies i'll to the prosperity of the
community. Some of our best
cows are being sold and driven
out of the County, feeding is not
done in a scientific manner Meth
er are there any silos being erect
ed. The friendly rivalry that
formerly existed between farm
ers is no longer noticeable. There
is noticeable, however, a lack of
cooperation on the part of cream
cry managers, bankers, and 9th
er business men, toward making
agriculture more renumerativ e
and hereby increasing their own
businesses as all our resources
are in the first foot of soil. Such
cooperation in the Western states
has revolutionized vast dairy and
general farming sections.
The cows.of Fulton county are
not treated properly, and they
return only about half of what
they should. A visit to many of
our barnyards will show plenty
of fat cows with shriveled udder,
improper feeding accounting for
it; because. many men do not
know what a balanced ration is.
AS rich land may not produce
properly for lack of some element

HOTEL MAN IS
SUED FOR DIVORCE

NEW BLOOMFIELD. Pa. MAY IA
Mrs Caroline Postlethwaite. Of New
port, has filed suit for divorce from
David f Postlethwaite. proprietor OF
the Lochiel Hotel, az Harrisburg.
This suit has not been unexpected,
in view of charges made some time
ago that Postlethwaite had married
Harriet Getzinger. OF Bloomsbury. but
the mystery surrounding the case has
not been cleared up.
The Getzinger woman about two
months ago asserted that Postleth-
waite had married her in Wilmington,
Del in 1910. Postlethwaite denied this
but the records In Wilmington show
marriage at that time OF persons
giving those names.
An added mystery is that Mrs. Pos
tlethwaite was visiting in Harrisburg
just before she filed her divorce suit
and that on that visit she saw her
husband more than once on those oc
casions they appeared TO be on friend.
