A Branch Infected With San Jose
Scale.

Is found, report the same to the State
Nursery Inspector and see that none
of the trees are planted until prop.
erly treated.
Where the pest Is found in young
orchards. every possible effort should
be put forth Immediately to cXtermi-
nate it. In case it is discovered while
yet restricted to a few trees, and the
orchard is in an uninfested district,
the safest plan Is to destroy the in
tested trees and replace them with
others. But If the ~neighboring orch
ards are infested, II should simply
provide himself with the necessary
outfit and materials for waging a sys-
tematic warfare against the pest, For
small trees the box fumigator has
been used considerably, but the aver
age fruit grower will have best re-
suits with fall or spring spraying. A
badly infested orchard should be
pruned back severely so as to remove
as much of the dead and infected
wood as possible and leave the tree
open SO that it can be much more
thoroughly covered with the wash. BY
all means do not leave the young
orchard at the mercy of the scale in
hopes that it will outlive the injury or
that something will appear to destroy
the pest, as every moment lost is OK.

deed compared with its control in an
orchard of large bearing trees. The
only point in favor of the old orchard
is that the scale multiplies less easily

such work in an old orchard, n
should read the report of some exper-
iments conducted by the New York
Experiment Station, where on some
Of the old trees az much as twenty
gallons of the wash was required for
each tree.
In an old orchard of old trees, more
than in a young orchard, the seyerest
pruning possible from the horticul-
tural viewpoint, should be resorted to.
II the trees have been neglected they
should be so thoroughly worked over
and cut back as to give the tree a

OF gathering the fruit and of later
pruning, Pruning should be followed
by the same thorough spraying that
was advised for young trees, and
neither time nor material should be
spared in covering every spot.

A good milking COW needs some
feed while she Is on pasture. If you
she is likely to hold up as well for
several weeks or q month. But she
will either lose flesh OF decline in
milk. And one of these conditions Is
as bad as the other, because it means
she will never get back to the high
mark she was making at first. And
with a small amount Of feed she will
keep in good condition and have a lit
tie extra flesh stored when the calf
comes in the fall.

toners in Charles City. Mr.. Pray
started from his hotel to the depot
In q bus. when the horses hitched
to the vehicle became frightened
and started to run at very lively
clip. Owing to the roughness Of the
street and the speed at which the
horses were travelling, the bus
swerved 80 badly that the local man
was thrown out of the rear door. He
was deposited on the ground with
great force. The force Of the fall
slightly stunned him for short time
and when he regained consciousness.
he discovered one of his grips at his
side and another In the street some
distance away. However, Mr.. Pray
received no serious injury and has
but a few scratches to show az q
result Of the accident.
Three other commercial men were
also in the bus. They were all In

that one of them Is seriously hurt.

cost more for sand, less for crush
ed rock and more for cement, but
the difference would not be much
as the saving on rock would Offset
the added cost of sand and cement.
The contractor is entitled to liber-
al profits. The price of cement will
probably not remain where 1t is very
long. but the material and labor
cost can hardly exceed 81 per square
yard even after allowing liberal ad-
vances upon the prices here quoted.
Hence it would appear that Webster
City ought to get one-pour job of
good concrete payement-1-2-3, or
1-2 k-3 las recommended by
the Sioux City engineer, at not to
exceed $1.25 per square yard. and
that price would give the contract
or a handsome profit.
If there is anything wrong with
these figures the Freeman-Tribune
would like to have it pointed out.
The only desire is to get at the facts
and to get paving at legitimate
price. The council can protect the
interests of the people In this mat
ter. When a sewer was to be built
on Boone street not long ago, the
council advertised for bids. In due
time the bids were received. The
lowest was right around $1,000.
Mayor Sparboe owned a lot that
would be taxed for that sewer. He
thought the price too high and all
bids were rejected. The council re-
advertised and the next time bids
we're received approximating $500
for the work. Thus the council by
taking the course it did cut the cost
10 the people in two in the middle.
A sewer Is of more benefit to the |
people than paving and If the bids
submitted for paving are not within |
reasonable range they should be re-
ected, just as the sewer bid was re-
ected.
Since the foregoing was put in
ype we have Received a letter from
