SPRAYED
The Effect Of Spraying.

Plant apple trees FIVE or six inches
deeper than other fruit trees.
1t is a mistake TO assume that al
ways a big tree will come into bearing
sooner than a small one.
If too big the storms may cause
them to be seriously injured before
the roots become firmly fixed.
A new orchard should be cultivated
from the start.
A tree which is infested with insects
will not thrive any better than a pig
covered with lice.

and has not studied the effects of
spraying might as well save his time
and expense. He will fail without

it cause a prejudice among the ignor-
ant against all apples?
An old broom from which most of
the brush has been worn off will re-
move loose bark from the trunks of
trees, and at the same time destroy
many hiding places of insects.
A tree which is properly sprayed
and cared for, however, seldom has
any rough bark to remove.
Do not let the pears remain on the
trees until thoroughly ripe, or they
will become soft and "mealy."
Pears should be picked when the
fruit is fully matured and placed be-
tween blankets in a dry, moderately
warm room to ripen.

very small fruit this year try picking
off every other one when the fruit is
just formed next year, and you will

PLANTING Strawberries.

Strawberry plants fail to grow more
frequently from being set too deeply,
than from any other cause. The
crown should always be above the sur
face of the ground. A dibble is better
than a trowel for planting. When the
hole is made the long, fine roots
should be placed in the hole. and the
earth pressed very tightly about them.
If there is danger of a dry time
water may be put in the dibble hole,
and allowed to soak away before the
plant is set in.

PLAN FOR RIPENING
THE LATE TOMATOES
One Good Way Is to Use Shelves
of Kitchen Cupboard, as
Fruit Needs Darkness.
(By ]. FIELD.)

Dig up the plants with plenty of
roots and spread on spaded ground in
a well-sheltered corner along a fence.
Cover with straw, leaves, burlap, or old
carpets or quilts.
Another way is to dig up and shake
the soil from the roots and hang roots
up in the barn or shed.
A neighbor spreads leaves in an old
cold frame several inches thick, and
on this puts a lot of green tomatoes.
At night, or when it rains, he lowers
the shutters.
Another neighbor uses the shelves
of a kitchen cupboard for ripening
green tomatoes, stating they want heat
and darkness.

KEEPING CEMENT
BUILDING WHITE
Decidedly important to Work on
Wet Wall as Cement Will Not
Adhere to Dry Surface.

Cement frequently has several
shades of color after 1t is dried. The
practical way is to wash the entire sur
parts of Portland cement and one part
of marble dust, with sufficient water
to reduce it to the consistency Of white
wash, applying with a common white
wash brush.
The wall has to be thoroughly dried
for several hours previous to applying
the wash and must be kept constantly
wet during the work and the day after.
1t is decidedly important to do the
work on the wet wall, as it will not ad-
here on dry one.

Difference in War Declarations.
Bonehead

There was a great difference in the
manner of commencing war cen
turies ago to what there is now. Now
the blow is frequently struck before
the word, and there is no obligation to
issue a formal declaration at all, the
act of war constituting the declara-
tion. But in medieval times no war
ever began without a formal declara-
tion by herald, who, in a most lei
surely manner, breathed defiance on
the part of his royal master, ex-
changed innumerable bows with his
enemies. and departed in as dignified
q manner as he came.

Washington, ID. C.. June with
the home demand for domestic food
stuffs almost equalling production the
United States is not only reducing ex-
ports but is increasing imports on GER
tain foodstuffs. This is one of the
striking features of the review today
by the department OF commerce of
foreign trade in the first six months
under the new tariff compared with
the half year ended March, 1913. There
was an increase in importations of all
food products OF more than thirty mil
lin dollars. or an average OF five mil
lion a month. The figures of exports
are even more striking. Exports of
crude foodstuffs fell SIG, 200. 900 to
s55,5OO.O 900 and manufactured prod
ucts from s1SO.OOO.OOO to s162, 900. 900.
Food articles showing the largest in
crease in importations were beef. cat

and edible oils.
