Brown Rot of Peach.

spring. The rule Is to avoid low lands
for peaches; late frosts are severest
there. Orchards planted on sunny
southern slopes come into bloom early.
Avoid such locations when possible.
A high situation, where the cool air
will flow off down to lower levels, and
a northern or western aspect is gem
orally the best for peach orchard.
There are several diseases Of peach
trees which also causes destruction
If not promptly controlled, but as
proper spraying Will accomplish this.
there is really no reason why peach
orchard should show loss on account
OF diseases.
The brown rot Is a most destructive
disease of the peach. 1t thrives best
in warm, moist weather and under
favorable conditions may affect the
flowers. The disease may also affect
the twigs and Is often referred to as
''twig blight" Mummy peaches are
caused by this disease. These should
always be removed. Bordeaux or
self-boiled lime sulphur combined
with arsenate Of lead controls the dis
ease. Spray just after the blossoms
fall with arsenate OF lead. Two weeks
later spray with bordeaux and arsen-
ate of lead. Apply bordeaux every ten
days or two weeks until fruit begins
TO color.
Crown gall forms knotty gals on
the lower part Of the trunk and roots
of peach trees and is very easy to de-
tect. Trees affected with this disease
should never be planted.
Leaf curl Is disease which is very
wide spread, being found practically
everywhere the peach Is grown. 1t
appears as soon as the buds begin to
open and shows a characteristic curl
ing Of the leaves and deeper green
color The twigs are also affected and
become swollen and have a lighter
color. Selfboiled lime-sulphur wash
lis said to be especially valuable for
this disease.
Rosette Is a contagious disease for
which no positive remedy has yet
been found. The cause of the disease
is unknown and the best remedy is to
dig up and destroy the tree.
The yellows. like the rosette, is a
serious disease of the peach. 1t ap-

LIME OF Benefit
TO PUDDLED SOILS
Increase in Yield in Single Year
Will Pay. for Necessary
Ingredient.
(By B. HI. HITES, West Virginia Expert.
ment Station)

By B. H. HITES, West Virginia Expert
ment Station.)
Nothing in agricultural science or
practise may be mentioned with more
assurance than the beneficial effect Of
lime on easily puddled stiff clay soils.
Ihls is so nearly matter of common
knowledge that the wonder is that
anyone will worry along with such
soils year after year, and even from
one generation to another, while the
possible increase in yield in a single
year will often pay for the necessary
lime.
The trouble with such soils is dua
to the extreme flneness Of the arti-
cles. All the soils are very much
finer than most of the people would
readily believe, and the clay soils are
the finest of ALL Soils consisting
largely Of clay particles are likely to
be too compact. Normal movement
of air and water and easy genera
ton Of roots are impossible. These
very fine particles, when wet, tend to
stick together; If worked wet they
form a plastic mass, which on drying
shrinks and becomes very hard.
If handful Of such soil be worked
into plastic mass It will become
very hard when dry; but If the test
be repeated with clays to which
small quantity of caustic lime has
been added, the mass when dry will
crumble easily between the fingers.
Lime destroys the adhesiveness of
clays, making them more open, mel
low and easy to work. Air, water
and plant roots can get through
them much more easily. They suffer
less from extremes of wet and dry
weather. They respond more gener-
ously to cultivation and manuring.
For the purpose In question two or
three tons Of burnt lime per acre.
should be applied. The very marked
Improvement so easily accomplished
is noticeable for many years; 1t is
indeed one Of the most enduring ef-
fects of lime.

ton of the roots. Keep close watch
of them, and If this does not check
the trouble, use them. A head that
has burst soon becomes worthless.
Some times tomatoes fail to ripen
on the vines, and should be picked
when fully grown and placed in sun
ny window to perfect. But unless this
is really necessary, let nature perform
the work in her own way, as the fruit
ripened on the vines has a richer fla
vor.
Do not try to grow two beets where
one should grow. You will have more
vegetables of superior quality by thin
ming them out to at least four inches
apart.
Celery may be planted between the
rows of early potatoes. Sow turnips
where the early radishes and lettuce
were raised.
Cucumbers for picking may be
planted as late as the middle Of July.
Bordeaux mixture, three ounces to a
gallon of water, is an effective remedy
for the yellow striped beetle which at
tacks cucumbers, melons and
squashes in the early summer, and Is
also the preventive for blight.
If you have only few vines, the
bugs may be brushed into a shallow
pan and at once transferred to pail
of water containing tablespoonful of
kerosene, which finishes them. This
can only be done very early in the
morning or after shutdown. They are
very active during sunshine, but semi
dormant in the early hours of the day.
Sweet corn fodder has more nu-
triton than that of field corn. See
that every bit is utilized after the
ears are gathered. 1t makes fine pork.

Rules for Estimating Hay.

Hay is often sold In the NOW or
stack and then the weight has to be
established. For this purpose 400
cubic feet of hay will vary according
to the quantity OF the hay, time OF
cutting and amount In the NOW. For
making an estimate multiply together
the length. breadth and height of the
NOW or stack in feet and divide the
product by 400. The quotient viii be
the number OF tons.

all of them, and ever changing, she

ceits that have been invented for her
And each girl, taking her cue from
the last word in styles, tells her own
story of the mode. Wise young
heads plan to reveal a beauty of neck

The result is that fashions are spiced
with much variety.
One of the numberless afternoon
gowns of taffeta, in which the design

shown here. The very short sleeves

The skirt is straight and moderate

waist line and about the hips make a
short tunic effect. This is adapted to

at the state university.
MT. George, who was chief clerk of

candidate for the position Of secre-
tary of the senate. He comes, in
reality, from Morton county. and his
support in the Legislature for the Sec

the party headquarters this year.
Mr.. Void, who was assistant chief
clerk OF the house two years ago, an

of the secretary of state. is regarded
as candidate for chief clerk of the
house. Mr.. Void is also well known
IN Grand Forks, being a former stu
dent here and at one time employed
by The Herald.
Ivan Metsger is. in reality, resi-

his bid for the chief clerkship as e
resident of the western county. He
has been attending the state univer-
sity In Grand Forks for several years,
and still resides here temporarily.

SURVIVAL OF BAEtBARISM.

Comparable in its way to the tradi-
tions is the tradition of hazing per-
sisting in institutions of higher edu-
cation. Both are barbarous survivals,
and both should be abolished. The
cries Of the innate gentleness Of wo.
man receive u rude shock when con-
fronted with the accounts OF what
sometimes takes place among goods
who emulate the achievements OF
their brother students in the domain
OF hazins. From Marietta college in
Ohio comes the information that one
of the co-cds. Miss Ethel Sweeney,
daughter of wealthy oil operator. is
under u physicians care because of
severe beating and other indignities
heaped upon her by sister Co-eds dur
ing her initiation into a society of the
college u few days ago. The young
woman alleges that she was told to go
to temperance meeting in the Taber-
nacle and shout the word booze" In
she was taken to the attic of a Mari
eta home, stripped Of clothing and
beaten until the blood ran. To finish
| the bad work thus begun. iodine was
slneared over her face and the skin
burned off. There is just one way to
stop atrocities like this. 1t is for col
Iege authorities to acknowledge the
i supremacy of law, and to aid the civil
authorities in subjecting the perpe-
traitors to exactly the punishment
which they would receive If they were

Mr.. Shaw's motives are humane. II
1t were possible to bring about such
contamination the world would
breathe easier. But the damage has
been done. Belgium will have to be-
gin all over again.

Belgians Shaw Is doing no more than
all are doing today. The entire world
sympathizes with the plucky little
country dragged. unwillingly. into
war. Mr.. Shaw is not alone in think.

land should settle their difficulty In
their own countries.

dom from the complications of a

characteristic way.
President Wilson has twice made
peace overtures and has been politely
