Sprays for Currants
and G00seberries

The yield in the average currant
and gooseberry patch is much reduced
every season by the insects which at
tack the bushes. This loss may be
prevented by the thorough use of
sprays.
A practical spraying program for
currauts and gooseberries has been
prepared by Prof. A. S. Beach of the
horticultural department of Iowa State
college. 1t is as follows:
When to Spray.
l. When leaves first appear and at
intervals of about two weeks until
fruit is half grown.
2. When worms" first appear.
8. When fruit is nearly half grown.
4. After fruit is picked.
5. About two weeks after 8.
6. When lice first appear and he.
fore the leaves curl
What to Spray With.
1. Lime sulphur or bordeaux mix.
ture for mildew.
2. Paris green or lead arsenate for
the worms" Bordeaux mixture for
leaf spot.
3. Repeat If needed. If worms"
appear later use hellebore.
4. Bordeaux mixture for leaf spot.
5. Repeat 3.
6. Nicotine sulphate.
These mixtures may be bought
ready made, or they may be prepared
at home with the aid of the bulletin
on spraying which the Iowa agricul-
tural experiment station will be glad
to send to orchardists and gardeners

With an expenditure of half a dol
lar or even less and an hours time,
seed corn tester may be made at
home that will answer every purpose.
This simple device for selecting
good seed ears is known as the Rag
Doll Tester" probably because 1t re-
sembles nothing more than rag doll
when 1t is rolled up and put to soak
In pail of water. Its efficiency was
proved in several years test of it at
the Iowa Agricultural Experiment sta
ton which says that 1t will select
good ears as satisfactorily as the best
expensive manufactured testers.
The station has just issued circu-
lar telling how to make this simple
tester, and how to use it, as follows:
Buy few yards of sheeting of good
quality and tear it into strips inches
wide and from to inches long If
1t is planned to use the strips num-
Der of times, hem the edges, as other
wise the Rawlings sometimes disar-
range the kernels in unrolling
Down the middle of each cloth strip
lengthwise, draw a line with heavy
pencil. Then draw about inches
wide, as shown in the accompanying
illustration. Number the squares, as
shows in the illustration, also.
Wet one of the strips thoroughly
and stretch 1t out in front of the
ears to be tested. Take 6 kernels
from ear No, /, as was described in
the Sawdust test, and place in square
No. 1; take kernels from ear No. 2
and place in square No. 2. and SO on

this way vista is formed with the
house as the central feature. Most
people err in getting things into the
wrong location rather than in the Sc
lection of varieties to plant. Keep an
open front. Immediately in front Of
the house there is nothing so appro-l
pirate as a well-kept stretch of green
ward. Keep the tree planting most
along the sides and in placing them
avoid stiff, mechanical arrangement.
If an evergreen is located so many
feet from the walk on one side, do not
place another one at a corresponding
distance on the other side. Avoid
stiff checker board plan and plant the
trees more in clumps, securing the eff
feet of curve rather than a straight
line, so that the whole will be as nat
ural as possible. A limited number of
tall trees to the rear of the house is
useful for background and the pic
torial effect thus secured is vast inn
