Apple BlOtch Causes Fruit
Losses.

Apple Blotch is a disease
which occurs on the twigs, the
foliage and the fruit. Infections
may begin as early as three
weeks after blooming and con-
cur mostly form four to six
weeks after blooming. 1t is
necessary that the first spray
tinue well into the summer,
Usually, however, infections oc-
ing be on the trees by four
weeks after the blooming.
Bordeaux mixture is the only
mixture used thus far that eff
fects a satisfactory control, and
in those orchards where blotch
is known to be present to a
seriously damaging extent it is
the only mixture on which it
is safe to rely. In cases Of
moderate infection a single
spraying may be sufficient, but
usually more than one is neces-
sary.
A dependable schedule of
treatment consisting of three
applications is given by F. W.
Faurot, of the University of
Missouri.
FIRST; Three to four weeks
after blossoms fall, Bordeaux
mixture (6 lbs. blue stone, 8 lbs.
lime, 100 gallons water) to
which is added A lbs. arsenate of
lead paste for codling moth. A
stronger Bordeaux might be
more efficient but the liability to
injury would be correspondingly
greater.
SECOND: Five to six weeks
after blossoms fall, Bordeaux
mixture, same as for first APP
plication.
THIRD: Nine to ten weeks
after blossoms fall, Bordeaux
mixture Is lbs. blue stone, 8
lbs. lime, 100 gallons water) to
which is added 4 or 5 lbs. arsen-
ate of lead paste for the first
spraying for second brood of
codling moth. In south Mis-
souri, this application comes at
just the right time to help
control bitter rot.

THE WHITE SHIPS AND THE
RED

(By Joyce hllmer IN Uhe ne" IoIA
Times.)
With dropping sail and pennant
That never a wind may reach,
They float in sunless waters
Beside a sunless beach.
Their mighty masts and tunnels
Are white as driven snow,
And with a pallid radiance
Their ghostly bulwarks glow.
Here is a Spanish galleon
That once with gold was gay,
Here is a Roman trireme
Whose hues outshone the day.
But Tyrian dyes have faded
And prows that once were bright
With rainbow stains were only
Deaths livid, dreadful white.
White as the ice that Glove her
That unforgotten day,
Among her pallid sisters
The grim Titanic lay.
And through the leagues above her
She looked, aghast, and said:
"What is this living ship that comes
Where every ship is dead?"
The ghostly vessels trembled
From ruined stern to prov;
What was this thing Of terror
That broke this virgil now?
Down through the startled ocean
A mighty vessel came,
Not white, as all dead ships must be,
But red, like living flannel
The pale green waves about her
Were swiftly, strangely dyed,
By the great scarlet stream that
flowed
From out her wounded side.
And all her decks were scarlet
And all her shattered crew.
She sank among the white ghost
ships
And stained them though and
though.
The grim Titanic greeted her
"And who art thou?" she said;
"Why dost hot join u ghostly feet
Arrayed in living red?
We are the ships of sorrow
Who spend the weary night,
Until the dawn of Judgment Day,
Obscure and still and white"
"Nay," said the scarlet visitor,
Though l sink through the Vel
A ruined thing that was a ship
! sink not as did We.
For We met with your destiny
By storm or rock or fight,
So through the tagging centuries
Ye wear your robes of white.
"But never crashing iceberg
Nor honest shot of foe,
Nor hidden reef has sent me
The way that ! must go.
My wound that stains the waters,
My blood that is like flame,
Bear witness to a loathly deed,
A deed without a name.
81 went not forth to battle,
] carried friendly men,
The children played about my decks,
The women sang-and then
And then-tbe sun blushed scarlet
And Heaven hid its face,
The world that God created
Became a shameful place!
"My wrong cries out for vengeance,
The blow that sent me here
Was aimed in He'll. My dying scream
Has reached Jehovah's ear
Not all the seven oceans
Shall wash away the stain;
Upon a brow that wears a crown
] am the brand of CAIN"
When Gods great voice assemblies
The feet on Judgment Day
The ghosts Of ruined ships will rise
In sea and strait and bay,
Though they have lain for ages

MAY Be FOUGHT IN COURTS
Question Of Property Rights In the
Wilder Alps Has Not Been Def
nltely Decided.

The CROSSE lockner, the highest
peak in the Tauern mountains of
Austria, has been purchased for a
private estate by Herr Weller of Bo-
chum. The mountain climbers of
Germany, Austria and Switzerland
are a good deal exercised about it,
for the peak, which is 12,455 feet in
height, has been a favorite one.
There are a number Of paths to the
top, and the German-Austrian AL
pine club has placed an iron cross on
its summit.
Club chalets and huts have been
established high up on all sides Of
the mountain, and some Of the
paths require wire ropes and iron
steps in the rocks to make them prac-
ticable. The view from the top is
remarkable it takes in a vast sweep
of the country from Ratisbon, on the
Bavarian plains, to the Adriatic sea.
Mr.. Weller has offered to the alpine
clubs the equivalent value elsewhere
for their paths and property, but
that offer they declined. Thus there
is raised for the first time the ques-
ton of property rights in the wilder
Alps, and m%ountaineers will watch
the outcome with nterest.-Youth's

REACH 1924 PEOPLE
THROUGH AGRICUL-
TURE EXTENSION

why is agricultural produe-
ton comparatively low? Why
is farming improbable? Why
are rural conditions such as to
influence many country people
to move to town? Why is soil
fertility declining? 1t is the
function Of the Agricultural
Experiment Station to answer
these questions and others even
more fundamental to the per-
manency of Agriculture in A.
griculture in America" declares
F. B. Mumford, director of the
Missouri Agricultural Expert
ment Station of the University
of Missouri at Columbia, in the
annual report of the station,
just issued. What the state and
national government are doing
for the farmer of Missouri to
answer these questions through
the Missouri Agriculture Ex-
pertinent Station is shown in
the report.
Perhaps the most important
change during the fiscal year
in the organization of the ag-
ricultural work at the Univer-
sity of Missouri was the estab-
lishment Of the Agricultural
Extension Service in June, 1914.
This department has charge of
extension teaching and demon
stration, including the branch
short course, the county farm
advisers, the boys and girls
club work, and the inspection
service. Through the various
extension activities 1924 peo-
pie were reached during the
year.
During the year six new cir
culars, nine reprints of circu-
lars, six new bulletins, four bull
letin reprints, and eight re-
search bulletins have been is
sued by the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, a total of s.
14O,5O0 pages of reading mat
ter, sent to a free mailing list of
$4,000 names. Thirty press
bulletins were also issued. A
new hog cholera serum plant
was started, the total cost of the
the plant when completed to be
$5O,O00. 1t will have a capacity
of 5O,000,000 cubic cetimenters
of serum a year, which will be
distributed at cost to Missouri
farmers. New greenhouses for
the departments of horticulture,
farm crops and soils, were built.
New Laboratory equipment was
added, and substantial additions
to the library were made during
the year.
During the year twenty new
men were appointed to the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station
and College of Agriculture staff,
and five resigned to go else.

 The man who advertises has the best of the deal.
 He keeps HIMSELF before the pub lic-he keeps his wares before the public-and he keeps their QUALITY and PRICE uppermost in the PUB LIC'S MIND.
 People TALK about the man who ADVERTISES, because they know he has something WORTH advertis- ing--or he wouldn't advertise.
