ABOUT SPRAYING.

In spraying for the destruction of
Insects we must remember that our
efforts will be futile unless We put
the spray material in the right place.
If we want to kill the scale we must
put the lime sulphur wash on the in
sects for it kills only by contact. Ii
we miss any of the insects they will
soon multiply and spread over the tree
and into other parts of the orchard.
Do the work thoroughly or you may
have soon to do it over again or suffer
the loss of much fruit.
When we spray for the destruction
of the codling moth we must put the
poison where the young worms will
eat it in trying to eat their way into
the young apple. The poison spread
out on the leaves and on the bark of
the tree will not do much if any good.
When we do our first spraying there
are no worms in the orchard, but
when they hatch out month or more
later they imm ediately make for the
young apples and fifths to nine
tenths of them will enter the apple
at the blossom end and begin to eat.
If that blossom end is filled with
poison we will kill the most of them.
Many of the later broods will enter
the apples at the side. This will

The Pure Seed Law.

The Improvement of farm crops
through the selection of right seed is
a modern and essential element in
agricultural progress. To select
better seed is the farmers mission,
and it is one of the best investments
that he can make.
Much interest has been manifested
during the last year or two in regard
to the Pure Seed Law of the State of
Washington. This law was passed
by the State Legislature in 1909, but
owing to the lack OF an appropriation,
was not enforced until 1911.
The requirements of the new law
are reasonable, and at the same time
give ample protection to the farmer,
guaranteeing to him freedom from
obnoxious weeds and adulteration.
There can be no question but that
established seed houses, all Of them,
would refuse to buy or sell, knowingly,
seed containing such weeds as Dodder,
Wild Mustard or Canada Thistle.
From an entirely selfish motive, no
seed house could afford to sell seed
that would be poor advertisement.
But it is not a question of whether
the seedman intend to sell foul seed,
but whether he is in a position to
know whether he is selling seed con
tanning weed seed 1t might be as
sured that any intelligent man in the
seed business would know whether he
was selling clean seed or not, but it is
fact that there could be, for in
stance, per cent of Dodder in Red
Glover or Alfalfa, yet the seed might
appear to be of the finest quality, and

these sprouts can be dug and planted.
The same is true of the red rasp-
berries. The usual method persued
IN multiplying blackberry plants is to
cut up blackberry roots into pieces
from two to four inch es long. These
pieces are planted in good rich beds
and allowed to grow one year when
they are in fine condition for setting
out for permanent plantations. Much
of what | have here stated is we'll un-
derstood by the large majority of our
readers, but they must be patient for
there are many people seeking IN
formation that do not understand
these simple matters.

time many regarded these two var
leties as Identical, and, in con-
sequence, the stock of the two kinds
became badly mixed in nurseries and
orchards. 1t is now conceded that
the two are distinct varieties. The
Paragon originates in Tennessee, the
Black Twig in Arkansas. 1t must
be remembered that the American
Pathological Society changed the name
of the Black Twig to Arkansas, but
the trade will not yet recognize the
change and would not know the Black
Twig under the name Arkansas.

PROPAGATING SMALL FRUITS.

One of our subscribers writes for
information relative to the propaga-
ton of raspberry. blackberry, goose
berry and currant plants. He seems
to be under the impression that each
of these varieties of fruit can be
propagated by cuttings. That is a
mistake. Only currants among the
fruits named can be propagated by
cuttings made from part Of the top.
Blackberries can be propagated by
root cuttings, but raspberries and
gooseberries can not. Raspberries
are multiplied in two ways. Some
raspberry plants produce new plants
by the growing canes tipping into the
ground during the summer. In this
way the black caps are multiplied.
These tips are set out the next spring
aud readily grow and produce fruit.
The red and yellow raspberries do not
tip into the ground and consequently
can be propagated only by division.
The whole or part of hill can be dug
up and then so divided as to give each
cane a piece of root. Set out In
this condition each cane will grow.
There is no trouble in multiplying
those which tip and those that do not.
