TESTS IN GROWING APPLES
Department Of Pomology Of New York
State Leases Orchard for Study
Ing Methods Of Renewal.

At Port Byron, N. Y, the depart
ment of pomology OF New York state,
has leased an orchard consisting of
eight acres planted with Baldwin and
Rhode Island Greening apples, which
win be used for studying methods OF
renewal.
The trees, which were originally
too close, have now grown together SO
that the branches interlock. In one
part of the orchard every alternate
tree VIII be taken out, and in other
parts the trees will be severely head
ed in or thinned.
The problem presented is a common
one, many orchards in New York
state being in a similar condition.
Different methods Of renewal that are
recommended will be tested.
The fruit obtained will be used for
testing the various fruit graders ou
the market.

has unquestionably been hunted too
closely. Fortunately it seems to be
practicable to propagate the bird in
captivity, and much Is to be hoped for
in this direction. Half the food of this
quail consists of weed seeds, almost a
fourth of grain and about a tenth Of
wild fruits. Although thus eating
grain, the bird gets most of it from
stubble.
The beautiful ruffed grouse is found
In the northern two-thirds Of the

make up the bulk Of the vegetable
food Of this species. The most i'm
portant pests devoured by this bird are
the potato beetle, clover-root weevil,
the striped flea beetle, grape vine leaf
beetle, May beetles, grasshoppers,
cotton worms, army worms, cutworms,
the red-humped apple worm, and saw
fly larvae.
While the economic record Of the
ruffed grouse is commendable, it does
not call for more stringent protection
than is necessary to maintain the spe-
cies in reasonable numbers.

An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows:
4 gallons crude oil,

The soap should be dissolved In the

then made by adding the oil and thor

Ing facilities, and by furnishing them
food In times Of stress, especially in
winter.
Birds occupy a unique position
among the enemies of insects, since
their power of flight enables them at
short notice to gather at points where
there are abnormal insect outbreaks.
An unusual abundance Of g~rasshop-
pers, for instance, in a given locality
soon attracts the birds from a wide
area, and as a rule their visits cease
only when there are no grasshoppers
left. However unlike they may be in
appearance, structure, and habits, all
are similar in one spect-they pos
sess a never-fagging appetite for in
sects and weed seeds. Two useful
birds-quite unlike In appearance. but
similar in that they befriend the farm
er, are the bobwhite and ruffed grouse.
The former is known everywhere by
the clear whistle that suggests it's
name. The bobwhite is loved by every
dweller In the country and is better
known TO more hunters in the United
States than any other game bird. 1t

tinct stages. The first is known as the
"cluster-cup' stage or the spring form.
In this stage the pores are produced
in ~cup-shaped ~pustules, which are
grouped in oval clusters and are
orange yellow when mature. This
stage is seldom noticed by asparagus
growers.
The second or summer stage Is the
one usually first noticed by the grow
ers, and called by them "red-rust' ON
account of the elongated reddish
brown pustules which are seen break
ing through the skin of the stem. In
these pustules reddish, o~ne-celled
spores are produced, known as uredo-
spores. 1t is the summer or "red-rust"
stage that the disease spreads most
rapidly and appears to do the greatest
amount of harm.
Towards fall, or whenever the vital
ity of the asparagus plants is reduced,
the third and final stage, known as the
black rust or winter stage appears,
due to the fact hat the red spores in
the pustules are replaced by dark
brown, two-celled, thick-walled spores.
These terminate In the spring and pro-
duce the first stage again.
Rust may be largely controlled by
spraying with resin-bordeaux from
July to September, at intervals Of ten
days or two weeks. This is a difficult
and rather costly undertaking and will
hardly pay except on large areas.
busting with flowers Of sulphur has
given good results. Cutting and burn
ing all the diseased stems will help
to keep the rust in check. Rust re-
sistant varieties should be planted.

AS l went up to old st. Ives,
| met a man with seven wives.
The seven spears stuck out behind
And waved defiance in the wind.
The seven hats which bore the spears
Suspended from the seven ears.
The seven skirts, with fine eclipse,
Wound down the seven pairs of hips.
The seven Sits, with rhythmic sweeps,
Displayed their seven little peeps.
The seven dainty pairs of feet
Went sweetly up the street.
Poor man. thought I; but 10! a
glance
Revealed him in one-legged pants!
They bore a patch on which the
flap
Flew up and down with each foot
tap.
His pettipants were very blue,
And one could see them peeking
through,
His knees were damned, but 10!
he still
Went caterpillar down the hill.
He sort of did the castle walk,
Exciting turbulence and talk
He tangoed when he saw a cop,
And gamboled hippity and hop
He even used, absurd enough,
The other pants leg as a muff
He wore a sword behind his ear,
And sometimes swished it in the
rear.
AS | went up to old st. Ives,
met man with seven wives;
And evry one Of them was mad
He had it on them, so he had.

CT eighteen and upward the same
legal rights as men of the age Of q
years and upward except the right
to make contracts binding the COM
anon property Of husband and wife

subject TO the same legal liabilities.
Men are liable for their tOrts,
therefore, married women are like
wise liable for their tOrts. If mar
ried men are legally liable for the
voluntary torts of their wives, then
such liability must rest upon the
wife for the voluntary torts of her
husband. 3 This is absurd in
view Of the expressed legislation up
on the subject of Women's rights. We
iave no hesitancy in holding that the
ruie Of the common law liability OF
the husband for the voluntary forts
of the wife does not exist in Arizona.

he was but a product Of his nation

with the man who sold him liquor
