WORK DONE eY QUAIL
WOULD SAVE MILLIONS.

In the current issue of the Farm
and Fireside a contributor says that
the chinch bug costs the farmers of
the United States at least 500, 600, 900
year. Various means for fighting
these bugs have been devised but
their most successful enemies are the
birds of the air. In regard to the nat
ural destroyers of the insect pest the
author of the article writes as fol-
lows:
IF the law of the survival of the fit
test applies in all cases, it is reason
able to believe that the ultimate
check to the propagation of the
chinch bug will come about by the
birds that eat them at all stages of
their life history Among the birds
that eat millions OF these pests may
be mentioned the quail, the meadow
lark and the sparrow.
IF the chinch bug is to be practi-
cally eradicated We must depend upon
the efforts of the quall. as his home
is in the brooding grounds of the
chinch bug. Nowadays things that
are done have a certain degree of the
idea OF permanency about them,
hence the first step in the pertinent
destruction of the chinch bug is a
more complete protection of the quail
that assists also in lowering the loss
es caused by the cotton weevil. the
and the potato bug"

NINE DISTRICTS WILL GIVE
BECKHAM A LARGE MAJORITY

A dispatch from Frankfort to the
Louisville Post says:
During the past week many promi-
nent Democrats from all sections of
entucky have been in Frankfort.
They came for business, pleasure and
political reasons, but all discussed the
Senatorial primary and told of cOndi
tions in their respective counties and
districts.
With few exceptions they all said
Gov. Beckham was in the lead, and
the indications were that he would
win by very large majority.
"One very prominent leader from
the Eighth district said that things
were in fine shape there, and that he
would wager that Gov Beckham
would carry every county in the
Eighth district, Madison included.
Another Democrat. and a man we'll
versed in politics, from the Second
district, said that it would not sur
prise him to see Gov. Beckham carry
the Second district by small major
Ivy He said the sentiment for Gov.
Beckham was growing every day in
that district, and that several bets
had been made by Beckham followers
that he would carry the district.
1T seems to be conceded by all
well-posted politicians that Gov. Beck
ham will carry nine districts.
Gov. Beckham has received word
from Danville, Boyle county, that his
friends have called meeting for Sat
nrday afternoon to organize a Boyle
County Beckham Club The meeting
will be held inthe court house at 1
o'clock, and after the organization
several speeches will be made. The
members of the club will set to work
at once to organize the county for
Gov. Beckham and give him an over
whelming majority at the August
primary.
"Danville is the home of one of the
four supposed Democrats who voted
for W. o. Bradley and bolted Beck
ham in the legislative session of 1908.
The good Democrats of that county
are determined to show the rest of
the State that they do not approve of
the action of their representative in
voting against Gov. Beckham, then
the nominee of his party for United
States Senator.
This is only one of the many Beck
ham clubs that are being organized in |
different parts of the State"

Crimson Is Champion Over
the Blue by a Big
Margin
GREEN SHOWS
SYRACUSE UNDER
Totals Rolled Up by Har-
ward and Dartmouth AS
tonish Football World

The grand result of Saturdays big
game between Harvard and Yale was the
unauestionably demonstrated claim of
the crimson eleven to the intercollegiate
football championship. The one-sided
score resulting from the clash of these
two big, and supposedly more evenly
matched teams, is riyaled in the days
scoring only by the decisive defeat of
Syracuse by the Dartmouth machine.
Hardly any stretch of the imagination
pictured Yale dedicating her big blue
bowl by brewing in it such stew as
was seen there Saturday by the big
gest football crowd in the history of
the American game. Syracuse was ex-
pected to show up much better against
Dartmouth, and 40-to0 score was al
most as great a surprise as the Yale
blow-up. The Carlisle Indians showed
fash of their oldtime form against
Dickinson, while Lehigh and Lafayette
fought it out to a more evenly bal
anced score at Easton, Pa. Springfield
accomplished two of it's aims against
the Army at West Point by scoring one
touchdown against the Army's two, This
makes Springfield's total scoring for the
season over 200 points and also kept the
score as low as it was last year. Wash
ington and Jefferson, one of the strong
est teams in the East, had a hard fight |
to hold Georgetown to a l4-to-6 score. |

METHODS OF SPRAYING TREES
Maine Experimental! Station Finds
Combination Which May Be Used
With Perfect Safety.

In response to numerous requests
for information on the subject of pre-
pairing and use of lime sulphur in or
chard spraying, the Maine agricul-
tural experiment station has issued
bulletin which goes into the matter
quite fully. 1t says in part:
During the past few years there has
been marked change in the methods
of spraying apple trees, the most I'M
portant being quite general substi'
tuition of lne-sulphur fer bordeaux
mixture as fungicide. There is prob
ably no better material than bordeaux
mixture in use today for the control
of apple scab, but unfortunately 1t Ia
frequently the cause Of serious dam
age to both foliage and fruit If the
weather conditions are right. The cir
cular gives a list of large number
of varieties of apples with the relative
resistance OF each to this spray. 1t ID
not recommended that orchardists
who have been using bordeaux mix
ture success sfully on resistant varieties
change to lime-sulphur On the other
hand those who have experienced any
difficulty with 1t, or who are growing
varieties known to be susceptible to
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1914-01-15

this spray, or who are uncertain
whether or not bordeaux mixture may
be safely used on the varieties they
have, are strongly advised to use line
sulphur. This station has found that
this latter in combination with atsen-
ate of lead may be used with perfect
safety on the Ben Davis and Baldwin
apple trees, while bordeaux mixture
applied at the same time and in the
same manner resulted in injury TO foil
age or fruit or both.
For the small grower or the man
with but few trees II is doubtless
more satisfactory to purchase one OF
the standard brands Of commercial
lime sulphur concentrates, but for one
with an orchard of any size it Is en-
tirely another matter. He should pur-
chase the raw materials and prepare
the concentrate at home. The circu-
lar in question gives detailed instruc-
lions how to prepare home-cooked
lime-sulphur. how TO test this with
the hydrOmeter to determine its dens-
ferent denstes FIR dormant sprays
and for summer spraying. This latter
informt zion is also valuable to the
man who purchases one of the com
mercial brands of lime-sulphur. The
density Of this also should be deter
mined in the same manner and diluted
according to the tables.

TEN of highway Improvement.
The big point in favor of this ex'
penditure Is the economy of time and
force in transportation between farm
and market, enabling the growers to
take advantage of fluctuations in buy
ing and selling, as well as enhancing
the value of real estate. 1t is est.
mated that the average annual loss
from poor roads Is 76 cents an acre,
while the estimated average increase
resulting from improving all the public
roads is 50.
The losses in five years would ag.
gregate $2,432 for every section OF
land, or more than enough to improve
two miles of public highway. The ne
cessity of good roads is obvious, as 1t
would enhance the value Of each sec
ton of land about $5,760, or more than
double the estimated cost of two miles
of improved highway, which constk
tutes the quota for Gao acres Of land.
