scientific principles of spraying.
We all know that, in order to
have better fruit, we must spray more.
How, when and with what to spray is
fully explained in dozens of spraying
calendars and guides that may be had
free for the asking from any adver-
tiser. But there is one phase that is
seldom, if ever, treated thoroughly in
articles on Spraying, and that is the
necessity of getting the best sprayer
money can buy.
You may have absolutely the best
spraying solution and the time at which
you apply it may be just right; but if
the apparatus with which you spray
does the work poorly, all your labor
will be in vain. A poor spray pump
simply cannot do satisfactory work
Sometimes the pressure is not strong
enough; at other times the nozzle does
not work right; again, just when you
need the pump most, it gets out of
order, and finally you give up in dis
gust.
In selecting a spray pump, let the
catalogue of reliable manufacturer
come to your aid. Remember that
there are many styles and sizes OF
sprayers, and among them there is
surely one that will do the work you
require. There are small bucket spray
ers, knapsack sprayers, "Aerospras'
and lots of other spraying apparatuses
from simple barrel sprayers to strong
power sprayers for the man who has
a large orchard.
Always put quality before price
When a manufacturer claims that his
Sprayers cost more because they are
worth more and backs up that claim
with thirty years experience, you Car
safely take his word for the truth Of
such statements. Good sprayers can,
not be made or sold cheaply. You Car
buy "gold-hlled" ring that is guar
anteed for twenty years. But if you
yourself expect to wear it that long
you usually buy a 14-karat gold ring
Why not apply the same principle tc
spray pumps?
A good spray pump will last life.

RIGHT WAY TO GROW THE STRAWBERRIES
electromagnetic. Risht-Heritase.
(BY W. II. BURKEN

By w. H. BURKE.)
Everybody ought to have a straw
berry patch, little or big as the case
may be. If one lives on town lot. or
is crowded between the high walls of
city houses, or is blessed with a home
out in the open, from which broad
acres stretch away in their amplitude
of fresh air and opportunity, it mat
tiers not, SO far as strawberries go
they are the fruit universal, and all
should enjoy them to the full.
Let us not forget at the outset that
just as the strawberry is universally
popular, SO is it universal in it's adapta-
bility to all sorts of soils and eli
mates. It's climatic range includes
the tropics and Alaska, and one entire
family comes from Switzerland, where
its hardy plants peep out from the
SHOWS Of Jungfrau and Matterhorn
with the first signs of spring. And
yet no other fruit responds more quick
ly and profitably to intensive cultural
methods than does the strawberry
Three elements necessary to large
success with the strawberry are: Good
plants, those that have been selected
from mother plants of known fruiting
vigor; soil filled with plant-food
chemically well-balanced, and careful,
frequent and intelligent cultivation.
To these may be added an important
fourth, and that is proper mulching.
which serves many purposes-protec-
ton from alternate freezing and thaw-
Ing in winter conservation of mois-
ture during the maturing of fruit, and
cleanliness of the berries; the mulch
ing materials forming clean floor
for the fruit to lie upon during the rip
ening period
Still preparation is the first thing to
be considered by the grower at this
time. Assuming that his land is now
in good condition of fertility, the first
step for one who is to set out patch
OF strawberries is to get the land to
be devoted to this purpose in shape.
The soil should be broken up with
pillow or spade to a depth of at least
five inches, and deeper If the soil will
permit. However, if the soil be very
shallow, one must see to it that the
subsoil is never brought to the sur
face.
After breaking, harrow it and re-
harrow it until it is as near the condi-

ton of fine ashes as you can get it.
The time to get soil in condition is
before plant is set out If the soil
be sandy, it should be rolled firmly
before the plants are set; if heavy,
press it lightly-once over with the
roller will be sufficient
OF course, you have ordered your
plants from a reliable dealer. Don t
try any other kinds than such a grow
er will send. 1t is waste Of time and
money and a source of bitter disap-
pointment at fruiting time if you set
poor plants.
Poor plants are costly even as a
gift; Indifferent plants never can sat
isfy your ideals; only perfectly de-
veloped plants are good enough for
anybody to buy and set out and work
over; and good plants are an inspira-
ton in themselves.

plants to hand, get the latter in readi-

that they should be pruned by cutting

Injury to Valuable Trees.

Not infrequently valuable trees are
killed or seriously injured by using
them for anchors, for guy wires, or
for clothesline posts. If tree is to
be used for this purpose only tenn
porarily, several blocks of inch board
two inches wide should be placed
around the trees, over which the wire
may pass. This method Is not safe
for more than two or three years A
better way is to screw large screw
hook into the side Of the tree, to
which the wire may be attached, or
for heavy anchorage, a bolt with a

to this.

CLOSING a wild" Gas Well,

A gas well in Louisiana that had
run wild for six years and had been
wasting from ten to twenty million
cubic feet of gas day during that
period was successfully closed recent
ly by a method that is probably
unique in the history of the gas in
dustry. A relief well was first bored
close to the old well, and to the same
depth. Water and mud were forced
down the relief well under heavy air
pressure until the gas stratum was
choked and the flow Of gas shut off,
The old WELL which had made a crater
225 feet in diameter and so feet deep,
was then permanently closed with
