Barton Heights won the deciding

points until their bad generalship of
kicking on the first down when within
their own fifteen-yard line lost them

to 2.
During the greater part OF the
game things were about evenly divid-
ed. and 1t was a toss-up as to which

able TO Fold when real danger threat

during the last period had several
opportunities to score. and twice lost
the ball after advancing the play into
the ten-yard line. They LACKED the

SELF-BOlLED LIME SULPHUR
Expert Of Alabama Experiment sta
ton Gives Some Excellent Advice
on Spray Material.

Writing in regard to the use or
self-boiled lime-sulphur solution to
combat the San Jose scale, DR. w. f.
Kinds of the Alabama experiment
station says:
I'VE cannot depend upon the heat
of the lime to produce a combination
that will be effective as winter
wash against San Jose scale. L
fear that the writer's recommending
this, confuse the preparation of self
boiled lime sulphur for summer use
for brown rot with the tire-boiled
wash for the scale. An ineffective
wash means waste Of the materials,
labor and perhaps the ruin of the or
chard also.
There is, of course, latitude for
some variation in the proportion OF
lime and sulphur, ranging between
fifteen pounds and twenty pounds or
earth. Considering the danger OF get
ting a poor grade OF lime, and the
cheapness OF that material, ! believe
It advisable to use slightly more lime
than sulphur. l would advise eight

teen pounds OF sulphur TO make fifty
gallons of wash. IL is necessary TO
