A Parable

A man who has spent busy year
sits down for little retrospect. He
falls into moody frame and in a tone
of regret says, Il have worked all
the year but there is hardly anything
10 show for il: my work has had
no .permauence. But good spirit
was beside him and she said My
dear, do you remember those flowers
that grew right out there? Those
roses, petunias, heliotropes, geranl-
ums and most of all that beautiful
lilium auratum? Well they are all
gone. Not one of them had any
permanence. you cannot find a stem
to tell that they existed. And yet
they We're beautiful while they lasted
filling the air with fragrance, pleas
ing the eye of all who saw them. and
are remembered still by many per-
sons to whom they were messengers
of gentleness. - And the moody sbad-
ow seemed to break away from his
brow, giving place to a smile and an
air of satisfaction. But later in the
day, after all the work WAS done,
and she WAS weary, heaving a sigh.
she said sadly: My life is
Just round of the
same duties. and seems to be
wholly fruitless. 1t WAS his time
now. and looking cheeriiy he said /.
Not so, my dear Do you see that
tree over there? Well, il has stood
there these many years. more than
you and / can tell. and its life has
been almost wholly without variety.
Each summer it is crowned with foil
iaee and then each autumn the wind
sweep it away. But the birds sit
there and sing. the cattle gather
under it on sultry days, and children
collect about it to picnic on their
holidays There is nothing of all
| that there now, but what a help has
the old tree been, and how many
pleasant things could be told about
it-how noble an object il is also
in the wintry landscape" The par
able WAS not without its meaning
The good mother returned the smile
of the benignant father. and toget-
her they sang at the family WORSHIP
of the loving Kindness of the LORD
on high"

Demonstration Orchard

A number of persons have asked
why this particular method OF spray
ing to prevent or control scab. What
causes scab, anyway? These are
pertinent questions.
A man who knows enough to
raise apples or pears naturally
wants to know the why of any step.
that to him is experimental, and II
advised to spray with certain
kind of mixture. at certain times
and in certain ways, it is but rea-
sonable that he ask why.
The method used at the demon
stration orchard AT this place is
that of the Oregon Experimental
Station, which has probably gone
deeper into the subject than any
other institution on the Coast.
Some other plans have been used
also, il is claimed, with marked
success. One method, which is
said to have the sanction of the
Pullman Experiment Station. is 10
spray when the buds have swollen.
but before leaves or blossoms have
burst forth, with strong lime-sul-
phur solution, Il to or 81 and
following q couple of weeks later
with solution of about one-half
the strength of the former.
But all methods that have been
nsed with any degree of success
follow the same general line of at
tack-to prevent the infection by
stopping the spreading of the fungi
which produces scab; for il is a
fungus growth, propagated from
spores carried over from the pre-
vious season in dead leaves or other
ru bbish on the ground. under The
trees, or in dead leaves, moss, wat
er SPROUTS, etc, on the trees. These
spores are dangerous for five OF
six weeks in the Spring, when
the trees are putting forth theii
tender leaves and, later, tender
fruit. AT that season, the spores
So small as to be unrecoenized by
the naked eye, are borne by the
wind, insects, or other means anc
deposited on the tender leaves ol
fruit. where, if let alone, il at
taches itself. and spreads like chicl
weed in strawberry patch. and il
the course of the season cOntrives Il
make the apple OF pear upon which
il fastened, uhmarketable and wortf
4 less.
The object of spraying is to pre-
vent infection during the periof
when the fruit is susceptible to at
tack.
The first application is made jus
as the blossoms commence TO open
at the beginning Of the danger from
iufection-the second about TIVE
weeks afterward,t or when the pet
ais have fallen, and then if it II
thought necessary, third abou
two weeks later than the second.
: If carefully applied. and th'
weather is at all favorable thes
three sprayings should thorough,
protect the fruit from infection. an,
If the premises have been kept clea
by the removal of dead leaves AIT
land other rubbish. the danger from
scab may not again recur.
