Plans Summer Session
For Rural Teachers.
Agricultural College Will Give Course
In Teaching Agriculture In
Country Schools.

With our rapidly increasing popula-
ton, the demand for more food stuffs
is increasing daily, while the new land
we can bring under cultivation is COM
paratively small in area. We must
learn to use what we have to better
advantage. The public school with it's
country teacher, trained in agricul-
ture and home making, will do much
toward improving our methods.
To prepare teachers in such work,
the Agricultural College has provided
six weeks summer course, beginning
June 22nd. Instruction will he given
in Elementary Agriculture, Domestic
Science and Art, Industrial Handiwork,
methods Of Teaching, History of Mary
land, State and National Constitutions,
Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, and
Entomology that will give them an OPP
portunity for practical, first hand study
OF subjects that deal directly with
country life. This season of the year
is the most favorable for such study
at the Agricultural College as the Col
lege Farm with it's gardens, orchards,
field crops and fertilizer crops is at it's
best.
Any teacher or prospective teacher
who enrolls for this work will have
living expenses only to meet with
every chance for outdoor life and en-
joyment as well as study. This puts
a rare opportunity for preparing for
increased community usefulness within
the reach of every rural teacher in the
State.

HUMUS PUTS
LIFE IN THE SOIL
Helps Store Plant Food and Water.
The Key To Better Crops.
w. e. HANGER.

w. e. HANGER.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
We should be planning for the i'm.
proVement OF our poorer soils and the
keeping OF our better fields in high
productive condition. Nothing will
help more in this improvement than
filling the soil with humus or organic
matter by the use of manure, turning
under green crops, or growing a heavy
sod.
Let us see what this humus or
organic matter will do for the soil.
Humus improves the physical condi-
ton Of the soil. 1t makes it lighter
or puts what we call life" into it.
This makes it easier to work. Humus
acts like a sponge In holding soil
water, storing a great deal of it and
letting the balance run off very slowly.
Humus also makes warmer soil since
soils containing it are darker in color
and warmer just as a dark suit of
clothes is warmer to wear than a
lighter colored one.
This humus or organic matter also
furnishes food for the soil bacteria.
1neSe bacteria are what break UP
plant food so it can be used by the
crop. They thrive best in soils having
plenty of this organic matter. The
hard bare spots on which nothing will
grow that we sometimes find in fields
lack humus and bacterial life. The
decaying bacteria in the humus also
build up the nitrogen supply in the
soil.
Besides storing up plant foods, the
humus by making this bacterial life
possible, causes soil acids to form.
These in turn free the plant food
locked up in the soil so that the crops
use it. Since humus is so much need
ed In the soil, we are safe in saying
that before we can expect much of a
crop of any kind from unproductive
land, we must provide organic matter
either in the form Of stable manure or
green manure crops.

GROW SOUND APPLES:
NOT WORMY ONES.
Destroy the Cooling Moth and Insure
Sound Fruit.
T. B. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College.

The Cooling Moth is the insect
which makes your apples wormy and
unfit for storage. This pest can be so
efficiently controlled that it is utter
folly for the fruit grower to fail to
take the precautions necessary to in
sure 80 per cent sound fruit
The eggs Of the Cooling Moth are
laid on the twigs early in the spring
As soon as these hatch, the young
larvae crawl to the blossom clusters,
and enter the calyx end of the little
apple. Poison introduced into the
blossoms at this time will destroy most
Of these larvae before they have a
chance to injure the fruit. This can
be done by spraying the trees with
the following mixture when the petals
have nearly all fallen:
Mixture No. /.
Concentrated Lime Sulphur, l gallon.
Water, 40 gallons.
Arsenate of Lead, to pounds.
Mixture No. (Bordeaux).
Copper Sulphate, pounds.
Lime (Burned), pounds.
Water, so gallons.
Arsenate Oh Lead, to 3 pounds.
Either mixture will do the work re-
quired. Mixture No. 2 showing better
results with later sprayings. These
materials should be thoroughly mixed
and applied first as the petals fall and
again, ten days later, before the calyx
closes up. 1t is sometimes necessary
to spray again about the first of July
to catch the second brood which may
have escaped the early spray.
