Spraying Apples
BY. o. S. WATKINS,
Associate in Horticultural Chemistry
University of Illinois.

University of Illinois.
There is probably 40 time in the his
troy OF horticulture that its develop
ment has reached such high standard
as at present. It. is no doubt true
that a few generations ago it was
possible to produce almost perfect
horticultural crops with very little
trouble but in those days. the only Ia
Dor connected with growing an apple or
a peach was that required to set OuJ
the tree and in due time harvest the
fruit for then nature did her work uu-
mOlested and unasslsred. In present
day orchard arrangements there are
number Of phases which must be
reCkoned with. one of the most import
ant being spraying.
Spraying undoubtedly requires more
careful thought aad consideration on
the part of the fruit grower than any
Of the other operations IN the orchard.
. In speaking with a number Of the more
successful fruit growers regarding
H
they hesitate to state a definite plan
OF their work. Any recommendations
l make are based UpOa experiments

ticulture in different parts Of The
state. and what 7 have been able 10
observe by visiting orchards and con
lversing with fruit growers in many
sections Of the state Much Of what
I have to say may not be eatirely i'll
accordance with your beliefs. bUs il is
the man on the fence" whom / hope
to be able to assist.
Illinois is a long state and cond.
tons in the north are far different
from those in the central and south
ern parts. On this account. and since
spraying depends so largely upon eli
matte and other conditions, it wO---
be impossible for any one 70 give Z
spray schedule which would be salts

Owing 70 the varying climatic con
ditions from year 20 year seldom one

II comes 10 the application Of fuuzt
cides and insecticides. ii he expect

hazard spraying is no. only vaiuele s5
but is dangerous Il would be a ser,
poor policy indeed for anyone u

Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Ashworth, the
former employed in a downtown de-
partment store are again united after
a narrowing separation, in which the
young husband charged that his wife
had been kidnapped from him by her
parents. The young couple returned

suit to annul the marriage was be-
ing instituted.
According to their story, Mrs. Ash
worth had started to Austell for a
visit, when she was forcibly taken
from the train by her brother, Fred
HUMPHREYS, and carried TO Tampa.
Ashworth followed her there, and
early in the week, through smuggled
notes, got into communication. Later
the young man went to the parents
of his wife and demanded to let his
wife choose for herself. Finally they
consented. and Mrs. Ashworth flew
into the arms of her husband
The Ashworths were married June
16, and have since lived in Baker
street.

Court Holds Section
Of Tax Law Invalid

In the case Of Gaueder against the
Comptroller General the Supreme
Court to-day held that the provision
relating to the powers of the Comp
troller General to issue executions
against tax collectors and their sure
ties on failure to settle accounts vio-
Iates the due process clause Of the
Constitution. The court ruled fur
Their that it is error to refuse to en-
join the enforcement of such an ex-
ecution when the unconstitutionality
Of the law is urged as a basis for in
junction.
The case came up from Brooks
County, where the Sheriff. represent
ing the Comptroller, sought to collect
taxes through execution against the
bondsmen of the Tax Collector.
