SPRAY YOUR ORCHARDS FOR THE BLOTCH;
1T CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGE EVERY YEAR
Bordeaux Mixture is the Remedy for this Destructive Fruit Disease

Weeks After the Petals FaI-It Can be
Almost Entirely Prevented.

regular spots They have a dark
speck or raised part in the center.
The work on the leaves is not very
important. 1t seldom causes defoi-
alton, and no spores are given OF.
On the twigs the growth is small,
elongated cankers, varying from one
fourth to one and one-half inches in
length. Cankers have a light gray or
tan center surrounded by dark green
or olive margins. Spores are borne
on the portions just inside the dark
green elevations, in the spring, and
are carried over the winter in the
cankers.
The damage to the fruit varies with
the variety, causing total loss on some
kinds and almost no damage on other
varieties in the same orchard 1t
causes a black, sunken, firm spot, with
fringed or regular edge, or may cause
a dark brown or almost black irregu-
lar spot When two spots coaIesce
they frequently are crossed with
cracks, caused by the growth of cells
under the dead spots. Soft rots often
get into these cracks and vary the
appearance of the disease. Fruit Of
ten is made unstable by apple bIotch.
1t is a leathery, drying disease and
in the worst cases the apples are
worthless, even for cider and vine
gar.
Cutting the tree back often is help
full This should be followed by
spraying. Cankers may then be pre-
vented from forming on new wood.
They are always found on twigs and
never on old limbs. A few varieties
that are susceptible are Missouri Pip
pin, Ben Davis, White Winter Pear
main, Huntsman's Favorite, North
west Greening, Maiden Blush, Gano,
Snow, and Arkansas Black. Those
that are almost immune are Grimes
Golden, York Imperial, Wfnesap, and,
to a less extent, Jonathan.

BAD TEETH CAUSE OF CRIME
So Says Boston Sheriff, Who InstaIIs
Dentists Chair in
Prison.

Boston.-Treatment Of the teeth Of
criminals as a means of preventing
crime is being tried N the Charles
street Jail, under the direction of Sher-
if Quinn. The sheriff has had a dent
lists chair installed in the prison, and
has employed a skilled practitioner to
fill or otherwise treat the defective
teeth of the prisoner.
"a bad tooth" said the sheriff,
often lands a man in jail A large
number of crimes are committed by
people who are badly nOurished. Nal
nutrition leads to morbid mental
thought, which results in crime. A
dentists chair and a good dentist in
every correctional institution will pre-
vent hundreds of inmates from re-
turning again, once they are free.
The dentists chair is an accessory

German Princes Wanderjahr.

The prince of Wales might possibly
enjoy his German trip still better If
he could view the country in the IN
conventional way followed by the
German crown prince and his broth
ers. Like all the Hohenzollerns. the
kaiser's sons were taught trades, and
their father also allowed them to taste
the delights of the 'wanderjahr,"
which still forms part of the education
of most German artisans.
In the case of the young princes
the year was split up over several sue
cessive summer holidays, which they
spent tramping through Germany,
knapsack on back, and sleeping at
roadside inns. They Travelled without
a servant, accompanied Only by their
military governor, Col. Won Falken-
heyn, and were scarcely ever recog-
niZed.

PPLE BLoTcH is the most

q PPLE BLOTCH is the most de-
"a structiye fruit disease in Kan
sas, causing thousands of dol
lars loss every year. It can be al
most entirely prevented on fruit the
first year, even in badly infested or
chards, says D. E. Lewis, assistant
in horticulture at the Kansas Agri-
cultural College. 1t is impossible to
control bIotch after it has gained en-
trance to the fruit No bIotch can be
seen at the time Of the first spray
ing, but if the spores are present on
the twigs in cankers it means you
will have bIotch on the fruit unless
it is sprayed. BIotch is not visible TO
the naked eye for two or three weeks
after it has entered the fruit.
The solution used in spraying for
this fungous disease is Bordeaux mix
ture This is made from three pounds
of coppr sulphate, four pounds of
lime, and fifty gallons OF water 1t
is important that all the copper sui
phate be mixed with one-half of the
water and all the lime with the other
One-half, and these two dilute soIu-
tions allowed to run together at the
same time into the tank Bordeaux
solution made in any other way is
less effective and may be even inju-
rious to the fruit
The first application should be
three weeks after the petals fall; the
second, two weeks after the first; the
third, in bad cases, will be required
about four to six weeks after the pet
ais fall, and the fourth, eight to ten
weeks after the petals fall, or at the
time of spraying for the second brood
OF the codling moth. In mild cases,
the second application may be ap-
piled from three to four weeks after
the first, and the third may be omit
ted. Bordeaux mixture must not be
used during wet weather. If the wea-
Their is damp at the regular time of
spraying, apply lime and sulphur and
spray with Bordeaux as soon as the
weather is settled

1000 SETTLERS A DAY
WESTERN CANADA MAKING RE-

Settlers from the United Kingdom

In Winnipeg last week at the rate OF
one thousand a day. The predicted
boom in the popuIating Of the prairie
provinces this spring has material

busiest city in America Is probably
the Manitoba metropolis.
The sturdy nations Of Europe are
all contributing to the rapid growth
of Canada West Two of the largest
contingents reaching Winnipeg last
week were from Germany and Scan
dinavia
The British Isles are sending out
larger contingents than ever before.

get a deed or patent for a farm that

Corn a Native of Mexico.

When America was settled by Eu-
ropean colonists they found that corn
had been extensively grown by the
Indians, for the Indians had recOg-
nized its superior worth as a food,
and were cultivating it in large areas.
It was growing in so many places
in both North and South America that
it was impossible tn determine accur-
ateIy just where it was first grown
or originated. At that time the PEG
pie of Mexico were better established
than other peoples OF the new world,
and in this section the use of corn
could be traced back for much long
er period than in any other portion
OF the new world. Therefore it is
generally believed that it originated
in Central Mexico.

MORE ABOUT THE CULTURE OF POTATOES
[By Prof. Albert D ickens, K. S. A. CT

In planting, practically all Kaw
Valley growers who plant more than
five acres use a machine planter. 1t
is a difficult matter to secure help
who will plant as carefully and regu-
larly as machine planter. A man
can, by placing all the eyes upper
most, plant a little better than the
machine. but on large paintings the
machine is used entirely. In machine
planting the average depth Of plant
ing is 31a inches below the level and
the planter is so set as to ridge the
ground two or three inches higher
than the level leaving six or seven
inches Of soil above the seed. Be-
fore the plants come through, the
ground is narrowed and after this Gull
tivation. The weeds must be kept
down and the moisture conserved, cul-
tivating as frequently as may be nee
essary. If the potatoes are not dug
early, the last cultivation should
ridge the row two or three inches in
order to protect the tubers from the
heat. Many growers who do not dig
for the early market, find it advan-
