spray injury is perhaps one of the
most perplexing ones that has ever
come up in connection with the treat
ment of the diseases of orchard fruits
and II is particularly significant in It's
relation to apple scab. The injury
has been attributed to various causes
and, among others, the strength of the
mixture.
There is perhaps no state In the
Union in which the question OF dust.
ing has been so thoroughly agitated
or In which spraying has met with
more opposition than In Missouri. and
for this there are several reasons. In
orchards ranging from two hundred to
two thousand acres labor Is a most
Important factor Consequently. In
the endeavor to meet the requirements
OF these conditions. efficiency has been
entirely neglected for convenience and
expediency. For these reasons ex.
periments to obtain data on the dust
process have been conducted with the
following result: Observations showed
that there was a difference OF over
Dc per cent OF merchantable fruit In
favor OF the sprayed plant when com.
pared with the busted plant and OF
over 13 per cent when compared with
the untreated plant. The reader must
decide for himself whether or not he
will dust his trees. but II does not
seem advisable to recommend the use
OF dust In apple orchards for any pur-
pose whatever. In view OF the results
OF the observations made.

A company of Topeka women listen
ed TO a lecture yesterday on methods
of installing a system of school gar
dening. The majority of the women
who listened to the address which was
interesting and contained many hints
of improved and advanced lines of the
work, smiled knowingly and reminded
one another of how that subject had
been handled in our town. Those who
are in touch with civic and school
work in Topeka are perfectly aware
that Topeka has had home and school
gardens for quite a number of years
For the past three years summer
gardens have been conducted in con-
nection with the schools under the
direction of a supervisor employed by
the school board. Two years passed
Mr.. Armintrout has been in charge
of that work. The work is begun in
the elementary schools by the teach
ers as Nature Study. Later the pupils
are taught about seeds, soil, blowing
are facilities for experimental work as
well as theoretical work. When out
door gardening time comes, the chill
dren plant their gardens, usually at
home, since in a city the size of To-
peka, nearly everyone has garden
plot. A prize contest is also conduct
ed. There 10 a committee which raises
the money for the prizes, and looks
after it generally. Mr.. ]. c. Mohler,
secretary of the Kansas state board of
agriculture, is at the head of that
committee.
In addition there has been instruc-
ton in matters of improving the home
surroundings. Prizes have been given
for the best kept lawns and alleys. The
first prize in the last contest was for
$50 and was won by Esther Kepple,
1911 College avenue. A prize of fiji
teen dollars was won by Calvin Stoudt,
of Elliott street. Byron Goodwin,
of 451 Sumner street, won a $50 prize,
and Russell Whaley. of 1926 North
Quincy street, was awarded a prize Of
$25, which goes to prove that the eff
fort for Improvement reaches to all
sections of the city Hazel Campbell,
of North Van Buren, street, and James
Hale, Of Clay street, won prizes for
the beautifying of home surroundings.
