SHEEP There was a very light run
here this morning. but ct that packers
did not appear specially anxious for what
stock was here. and in the end. after a
very draggy session, practically every
thing moved at steady prices. Quality
OF most OF the offerings was nothing
extra. Packers give as the reason for
the present light request for all sorts OF
sheep the fact that the eastern dressed
mutton trade IL In anything but satisfac-
tory shape. and consequently today's
Extremely light run seemed large enough

Some fed western lambs reached Sl0.4o,
with some rather heavy shorn stuff at

one deck OF clipped ewes sold at 81 80
and another at 81. Two loads OF western
lambs that carried quite a little mud

SPRAY TO PROTECT ORCHARD
Two Most important Fungicides for
Summer Spraying Are Bordeaux
Mixture and lime-SuIphur.

- (By w. II. CHANDLER)
Spraying is done for the purpose OF
preventing injury to the fruit. foliage
and wood of trees and other plants
caused by disease and insects.
Diseases of plants may be caused
by the growth in the tissues of bac-
terra or fungi. Bacteria usually grow
beneath the surface and cannot be
combated by means of spraying. Some
fungi grow upon the surface, sending
feeding organs down into the tissue
from which they secure nourishment
from the plant sap. These fungi are
reproduced by means of spores which
