WHO DOES YOUR THINKING?

What is it that sets man above the
rest of the animal kingdom? Is it
not the power to think? All through
the history of the world there have
been few great thinkers, and there
have been a great many who let some
one else do their thinking for them.
Which kind are wou? Do you think
for yourself?
People who think for themselves are
human beings living on high plain;
those who let others think for them
are living in a rut where prejudice,
fogyism, superstition, fanaticism and
ignorance prevail. The world is full
of people who travel in a rut and seem
to like it although it is close scrougng
The habit of thinking is not easy to
acquire. 1t means that you must
reason, use the faculties of your mind,
about things you see and hear. 1t
means cultrating an open mind. 1t
means self control. 1t means that you
refuse to accept the ready-made
thoughts Of others until you have
analysed them. Are you letting some
one do your thinking Tor you? The
next time you notice yourself saying,
81 think so-and-so," ask yourself the
question, "Was that my thought or
not?" We see all the time men who

FALL SPRAYING FRUIT TREES

AS a general rule il is better to-
spray the fruit trees in the fall than
to wait until spring. Any time after
the leaves fall is the proper season.
Warm spells during the winter may
also be selected for this work. There
are two chief reasons why spraying
for the scale is best done as soon after
the leaves fall as possible. One is
that the scales are more tender and
their covering not so hard and, there
fore, more easily penetrated by the
spray; their shells become tougher
during the winter. Another reason is
that where trees are infested by large
numbers of the scale, they become
greatly weakened during fall and win
ter by loss of sap and the poisonous
influence exerted by these insects. If
not relieved of their enemies before
spring, they are liable to die.
Other reasons for fall spraying are
matters of convenience, such as the
Greater leisure that the farmer en-
Joys at that time; the more settled
condition of the weather with absence
Of high winds; the condition of the
soil which is generally firmer for the
passage of wagons.
Before spraying for the scale, it is
better to prune the trees and REMOVE
all useless wood so that there witW
that much less surface to cover Viii
the spray, thus saving work and ma
terial. The spray most commonly
applied for the scale is the CONNER
cial lime-sulpher which may be bought
from, or ordered through local mcf
chants. By the 80 gallon barrel i
costs from Il to - cents per galloI
but each gallon is to be diluted witt
8 gallons of water which greatly re
duces the cost. From one to three
gallons is required per tree, depending
on it's size. a barrel sprayer for or
chards Of one to two acres will cos
about $l2. Very large orchard
should have gasoline engines for mo
tive power.
