 We have all heard that Russian riv- CT is the greatest fish stream on the North American continent and the ex- perience of Mrs. J. H. Sears bears out the description. While visiting that stream recently the lady decided to jump in for a swim, and she did, but was unable to make the slightest headway owing to obstruction caused by the congestcd condition of the salmon trout. To get back to the bank she was compelled to crawl over them on hands and knees.

SPRAY POTATOES FOR THE LATE
BLIGHT.
G. T.. TEMPLE.


Maryland Agricultural College Exten-
sion Service.
This Is the time of the year to keep
On the watch for the late blight OF DO
tatoes. " great many growers make II
regular practice to spray their late
potatoes four or five times with Bor-
deaux Mixture, but there are many who
never spray. The first application
should be made when the plants are
about six inches high. This should be
repeated about every ten days during
the growing season.
The Fungus which causes the late
blight attacks the margins OF the
leaves first, then it spreads rapidly
over the leaves into the stem and then
into the tubers. The diseased parts
turn black and give OFF characteristic
odor. This disease spreads most rapid
~ during cool, vet weather. III this
kind Of weather prevails for several
days I'm regions where the late blight
is known to exist, an epidemic may re-
suit with total loss of the crop. Ii
should be remembered fin this connec-
ton, that the potatoes produced from
diseased plants usually decay in stor-

SPRAYING INSURES GOOD CROPS.
Bordeaux Mixture is made as fol.
lows Stake 4 pounds Of good quick
lime by adding just enough water to
keep 1t from burning; it should be
stirred continuously while shaking.
Now add enough water to make about
20 gallons OF the mixture. Then dis
solve pounds OF blue-stone in few
gallons of water By suspending It in
a sack near the surface Of the water
which should be contained In wooden
or earthen vessel. The bluestone solu-
ton Is placed in the spray tank and
enough water is added to make about
Is gallons. After stirring the lime
water thoroughly, add 1t to the blue
stone solution and add enough water
to make so gallons; mix vigorously.
The material should now be tested.
This is done by placing small guam
tity of 1t in a saucer or other shallow
vessel and blowing ones breath over
the surface for a minute or two. liz
a white, f1aky substance appears on
the surface Of the mixture, 1T indicates
that there is sufficient lime. On the
other hand, If piece Of bright metal,
such as knife blade, is placed in solu-
ton and it quickly takes on bronze
color, this indicates that free copper
exists which may injure the foliage.
III this case, add more limewater, stir
and test until the free copper disap-
pears. Both tests should always be
applied
Where spraying is done On large
scale, it is customary to make Up 2.
large quantity of stock solutions in sep
arate containers Enough water 10
used 80 that a gallon of the bluestone;
and likewise, one gallon OF the lime
mixture will contain one or two pounds
of the lime. Tt Is then an easy matter
to prepare a tank Of Bordeaux Mixture
of any strength desired.
If a poison is needed for insect con-
troll any one OF the following may be
added in solution to either the lime
water or the Bordeaux Mixture:
Arsenate OF zinc paste. ..........2l lbs.
Cor powder, ! I'D
Arsenate of lead paste. - TO-.
Cor powder, IL lbs)
or
Paris Green. 40 Id.
The quantity here given In each case
is for 50 gallons OF the spray solution.
The cost Of spraying depends upon
the quantity Of chemicals purchased
at time and the conveniences for mix
ing and applying the spray material.
Bordeaux alone should not cost more
than 30 cents per barrel. With the
present indications that potatoes will
bring fair price next spring, 1t would
seem advisable to spray wherever the
blight Is known to exist.

HENDRIX STUDENTS
 FORM NEW CLUBS
(Hendrix Bulldog.)

Perhaps the most strange, the most comical, and the most wonderful club that has been yet organized is the "Bill' Club. This club recently met and organized by electing R. w.
 Young president and William Mitchell secretary. Anyone who has the name Bill or William or any name derived therefrom is eligible to membership. They now have about twenty two members and it is feared that they will grow stronger all the time. We have right to be afraid of them, for among them we find short Bills, long Bills, small Bills, large Bills, hand some Bills, ugly Bills, frowning Bills, Doctor Bills, and every other kind of Bill. But whatever you do, be sure to shy around the blank Bill and the unpaid Bill.
 The Lawyers Club organized in order that justice might be done, and the "Bill' Club organized for nobody knows what; but the Medics Club has organized because it's members are in sympathy with suffering humanity. Each of them feels in his heart that doctor is great benefactor to his race, and we heartily commend such a humanitarian spirit. The following officers were elected at recent meet ing of the club: P. M. Fulmer, Dean; J. H. Hudson, Registrar and Trou- badour editor.
 The other members of the. club, who were elected to the various professor ships, are as follows: J. A. Anderson, S. c. Fulmer, P. McCorkle, R. w. Young, F. Osburn, Hunt, McKennon, Helen Harton, Ruby Baugh and Ruth Baugh.
 Realizing that the peace and dig nity of our beloved state depends upon the administration of justice within it's borders and that the name of our commonwealth can never stand for truth, liberty, and honor unless all criminals be brought to justice, the Lawyers Club of Hendrix College re- gently met and organized by electing the efollowing officers:
 Frank McAnear, cI.ief justice; E. F. Owen, E. c. Robertson, D. w. Pierce, c. G. Stephens, associate jus tices; w. R. Stephens, clerk, w. R. Harrison, prosecuting attorney; J. J.. Propps, sheriff; R. Holderness, Trou- badour editor.
