DIRECTTOTHE
CONSUMERS
Government Plans To Lower
Prices

Carrying out the plan announced
some time ago by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, whereby farmers
will be enabled to sell their pro-
ducts direct to the city consumer
by means of the parcels post, or
ders were issued from the Post
office Department recently to start
work on the new scheme at once.
The new plan is to be tried first in
ten cities, of which Baltimore is
one.
According to the new plan, as
explained by the First Assistant
Postmaster-General at Washing
ton, the post-masters at the cities
selected to try out the plan are to
first get the names Of farmers who
are willing to supply farm produce
in retail quantities through the
parcel post. The list of names of
such farmers is to be printed and
distributed about the city and sub
urbs, to those who may wish to
buy their provisions in this way.
By this means it is argued that the

Preparation For Corn Crop

According to Prof. Grantham of
the Agronomy Department of Del
aware College much Of the seed
corn saved last fall is likely to be of
low termination owing to the severe
freezing weather of last winter.
This condition will apply particu-
larly to seed corn that was not
fully dried out before the cold
weather came. He says: All seed
corn should be tested to determine
its state of vitality. A few ker-
nels taken at random from several
ears of the lot of seed corn should
be sprouted. If 50 per cent of the
kernels are strong and vigorous, no
further testing will be necessary.
If, however, the termination falls
below 80 per cent, each Individual
seed ear should be tested. Direc-
tions for testing a large number of
seed ears will be furnished by the
Agronomy Department upon re-
quest. Inquiries from many parts
of the state indicate that there is
a considerable demand for seed
corn. 1t is suggested that those
growers who have seed corn for
sale should write to the department
stating the kind of corn and the
quantity for sale. This will en-
able the owners Of good seed corn
to come in touch with those looking
for good seed. The department is
often at loss to know where to To-
cate supplies Of seed corn in the
State and will gladly cooperate
with growers in effecting the dis
tribution of seed Of good quality.
Seed corn should preferably be
purchased in the ear. Examination
as to type and characteristics OF
the variety can then be made more
satisfactorily. Corn in the eal
may also be tested more accurately
than shelled grain. Do not purchase
seed corn from a locality too re
mote. Seed from 100 miles farther
north or south is not so likely tt
produce as well as corn grown OF
the Peninsula If it is desired tt
grow a new variety from distance
begin in a small way but do no
depend on it for the entire crop.

Fourth spraying. For late va
rieties, make an application Of Bor-
deaux mixture and arsenate OF lead
about the 25th Of July. Use a
Bordeaux of four pounds of lime,
3 pounds of copper sulfate and
add pounds of arsenate Of lead.
This application is for rotty black
fly speck, bitter rot, black rot and
the second brook of codling moth.
In case lice are bad in the spring,
IL pint Of 'Black Leaf 4O' tobac-
co extract should be added to each
80 gallons Of the Sd and 4th appli-
cations. Usually, however, one ap-
plication is sufficient.

middleman s profit can be cut and
the high cost of living brought
down.
The list of names to be distribut-
ed among the consumers will not
only contain the names and adj
dresses of the farmers, but will also
show the kind and quantity Of the
commodity available.
"By the use Of the lists said
First Assistant Postmaster-General
Roper, "'the city consumer will be
able to get in touch with farmer
who will fill his weekly orders for
butter and eggs and other farm
produce. The consumer will re-
ceive the produce fresh from the
country and the personal relation
ship established will, no doubt, tend
to improve the quality. The farm
er will be relieved Of carrying his
produce to market, as the rural car
rier will make daily collections at
the farmers own door Of these re-
tail shipments to city consumers.
"The point has been raised that
difficulty will be experienced in
the return Of hampers and other re-
tainers. The problem does not ap-
pear to me to be difficult Of solu-
ton. he farmer may use inexpen-
sive hampers, the value Of which
would not warrant their return, or
he may use the higher grade ham
pers, for which he may include an
additional charge to be credited to
the consumer upon the return of
the hamper by parcels post.
"The Postmaster-G General has the
firm conviction that this plan is the
one thing necessary to enable the
people Of this country to enjoy the
potential benefits of the parcels
post. No one has ever questioned
the possibility of reducing the cost
of living by establishing direct re-
lations between the ultimate con-
sumer and the original producer.
"A complete means for such dir
ect transportation was provided for
the first time by the establishment
of the domestic parcels post, but
there has been lacking an agency
by means Of which the individual
producer could get in touch with
the individual consumer. The Post
master Generals plan is designed
to provide this agency for the most
economical distribution Of those
products which are consumed in the
form and condition in which they
are produced. '-EXchange.

Joyous Springtime

'Tis spring again and the woods
are wet
With the gracious gift Of the
April rain,
The sign Of approaching summer
is set
In the tender green Of the plain,
The robin rests in his flight and
shakes
A clinging drop from his shining
wing,
And over the woodland silence
breaks
The first sweet song Of the
spring!
'Tis spring again and the grasses
bark
To the magic message the winds
convey,
The flowers push through the damp
and the dark
TO star the meadows of May;
The rivers long in the winter S
trance
Now over the rocks their waters
fling,
Or softly steal where the sunbeams
glance
Through the blossoms and buds
of spring.

Spraying Apples

The first spraying should be done
while the tree is in the dormant
condition. This spray is for scale
insects and the winter spore condi-
tions of many diseases, especially
apple scab. There will be in many
orchards, scab cankers on shoots
and water sprouts. These cankers
are filled with spores that would
be a source of scab infection unless
destroyed. Use one gallon of lime
sulphur to nine gallons Of water.
Second spraying. Make this ap-
plication just after the leaves ap-
pear and before the blossoms are
open. This is very important ap-
plication for scab. In fact it is the
most important application for scat
For this spraying either Bordeaux
mixture or lime sulphur may be us,
ed. If Bordeaux mixture is used
use pounds Of lime, 2 to 3 pounds
Of copper sulfate to so gallons of
water. If lime sulphur is used, use
one gallon Of commercial lime sui.
fur to 30 gallons of water, or about
5 quarts Of the lime sulfur to sc
gallons Of water.
Third spraying. Apply this
spray just as the blossoms have fal.
len. This spray is for scab and
codling moth. 1t is the most i'm.
portant spray for codling moth
Use lime-sulfur, and arsenate of
lead. Bordeaux mixture will cause
serious russetting of many varie-
ties. Use l IA gallons Of CONNER
cial lme-sulfur to SO gallons of
water, add 2 1-3 pounds of arsen-
ate OF lead paste or l IL of powder
ed arsenate Of lead.
