SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Best Remedy for Pest Is Thorough
Treatment With Lime-SuIphur Mix
ture Late In Winter.

CBy c. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Expert
ment Station)
San Jose scale is one of The worst
pests attacking orchard trees In this
country. 1t is extremely important
that orchards should be so treated as
to exterminate the scale from them
and prevent its spread to surrounding
orchards.
Undoubtedly the best remedy for
this scale is a thorough treatment
with lime-sulphur mixture late in the
winter or early in the spring, before
the buds begin to open on the trees.

sulphur mixtures are used they may
be diluted in the proportion of about
one part of the concentrated prepare
ton to ten parts of water If home
made lime-sulphur sprays are used,
probably there is no better formula
than the following:
Good lump lime, Is pounds;
Flowers of sulphur, Is pounds;
Water, so gallons.
The lime should be slaked in warm
water and, as soon as the shaking has
been well started, the sulphur should
be added and enough water kept in
the receptacle to keep the mass thin
and sloppy. Boil for at least forty

ORCHARD
GLTANINGS
WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
When Ground Is Frozen Is Favorable
Time for Hauling and Spreading
Manure---Add Bone Meal.

The winter when the ground is
frozen hard is a favorable season for
hauling out with cart or sled the ma
nure needed. In spring the ground
Is too soft to haul over and other
work is too pressing; the result is
this important matter Is put on for
another year. The manure should be
hauled and spread evenly over the
ground. Do not place directly around
the trunks; it only affords a harbor
for mice and insects. The manure
should be rotted and from granted
cattle or horses. Straw and corn
stalks, mixed with little animal ma
nure, is poor stuff and is only valuable
as a mulch This kind of manure
should be hauled out to the orchard
and piled Mix half-bushel of raw
bone meal in each two-horse wagon
load Of manure as it is piled and make
q compact heap, which will soon rot
down, and, when well rotted, should
be spread. About one to two bushels
is the proper quantity for each large
tree. The manure should be spread
In a circle as far out as the branches
extend.
Practical growers are now using
from 400 to 800 pounds of animal bone
and potash fertilizer per acre. The
fertilizer is drilled in with rye IN the
early fall, the rye is turned under an
April-for green manure. This meth
cd is found to be the cheapest and
best method of ;ertilizing the orchard.

Protect Grapes From MIIdew.

To protect grapes from mildew
which may or may not attack them
they should be busted or sprayed
with sulphur For a few vines or the
family vineyard a good way is to put
the sulphur in a piece of burlap or a
grain bag and shake the sulphur over
the vines. A sprayer which will
force the sulphur among the leaves
more completely is of course more
effective.

REAL MEANING OF "CLASSIC'
Just at This Time All Displays in the
Nude Are Termed "Real
Art"

Here is a picture in a newspaper
showing a girl executing the new
classic dance. The classic part of it,
we suppose. is the legs, which are
bare to above the knee, and one of
them is bent so that the heel almost
touches the backbone. The beautiful
part of this dance is that 1t is classic.
Whatever is nude these days is classic,
and whoever denies It is an unlettered
6oor. One a see a great deal of
classic art in the theaters, the vaude-
vile, the picture shows and on the
streets. The papers, too, are much
devoted to art. Some of them seem so
classic that they don't print the pic
ture of a woman unless there is a de.
ightful display Of the nudities. The
world has gone daft on the classics
and the newspapers fill the nudities
part with a lavish hand. We saw a
picture in a moral newspaper the 9th.
er day Of society women visiting the
war vessels in New York, and the
whole picture was devised for the sole
purpose of showing a charming WON
an climbing the stairs to the bridge.
The classic eclipsed the stair, the
bridge, the whole battleship. How
do we know? Our intellectual con.
eept told us so.-Ohio State Journal.

was to make It possible for soldiers

is being applied now to clothes also.
On each Of the two edges that are tc

is made to slide up and down over
these clasps in such a way that when
the buckle is pulled up it hooks all
the clasps together and when 1t is
pulled down It unhooks them.
Thus, simply pulling the buckle ur

the unlocking operation can be accom-.

PLUM BORER FEEDS
ON INJURED TREES
Orchardists Recommended to
Treat Damaged Stock as a
PrecautiOn Against This

Washington, D. c., July 16.-
The American plum borer, an
insect which attacks impartially
plum, cherry, peach, and apple
trees, has been found by investi-
gators of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, to confine it
self entirely to those trees
which have received some pre-
vious injury. 1t is, it is said,
entirely unable to establish it.
self upon vigorous, healthy, un-
injured trees and for this rea-
son, except in occasional cases,
is unlikely to become a pest of
more than ordinary Importance.
1t is frequently found, however,
on apple trees which have suf-
fered from collar blight.
In order to prevent infestation
by the American plum borer a
professional paper of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, Bull
letin No. 261, recommends the
precaution of cutting away the
dead bark and painting the
wounded area on all injured
trees with any non-injurious
tree paint. After the borer has
once established itself the cut
ting out method is the only one
that can be followed. When the
proper conditions are present
the plum borer can do consid-
cradle damage, and it is there
fore advisable to take precau-
tions against it.

ALLIES FLAGS MUCH ALIKE
London Newspaper Describes the Varl.
Gus Embiems Under Which the
Nations Are Fighting.

Not a few people are making the
mistake Of flying in Russia's honor
the picturesque yellow flag with the
double eagle, under the impression
that it is our ally's national flag. This
flag, however, is really the imperial
standard, while the white flag with
the blue st Andrews cross is the
Russian naval ensign. The latter Is
used only by the navy, and is not
allowed to be flown by private in.
dividuals
The Russian national flag. which
should be used in this country by peo-
pie who wish to show their admiration
for Russia, is a tricolor, white, blue
and red stripes, placed longitudin-
ally.
There is, indeed, a remarkable
similarity between the flags Of the
allies. France, Russia and Serbia
all employ the same three colors. only
the arrangement differing. In regard
to the hags Of Russia and Serbia, it
may be pointed out that, as the colors
are the same, a Serbian flag upside
down would be the Russian, and vice
versa. Belgium flies a t%ricolor with
the eolors vertically, as in the case Of
the French flag. The Belgian colors.
black, gold and red, are said to sym.
bolize the emergence of of the country
from darkness into light through blood
and fire-a most appropriate device.

MESA VERDE PROPHETS
Indians Who FOretOId Our Wet

Winter.

The season so far verifies the
weather predictions of the In
dians who occasionally visit the
Mesa Verde National Park in
southwestern Colorado for trad
ing purposes, but who never stay
an hour longer than is necessary
because of their dread of the
little people" whom they be-
lieve still inhabit, in spirit form,
the prehistoric cliff dwellings
that have made the Mancos Val
ley famous the world over. Last
fall the Mesa Verde prairie dogs
deserted their villages for new
ones and the Indians have been
shaking their heads over it all
winter. Rain, much rain"
they say; rain all summer" So
far they seem to have predict
ed right.
And now they are again shak-
ing their heads. Gold, much
cold" they say; dad winter

this summer game has been I'M

Rabbits and hares are so num-
erous one can scarcely go about
without seeing them in large
numbers. Coyotes and noun

game on which they live.

ELK AND DEER
Last Winters Conditions in Sc

Freak Doe Is Named
pinto"

San Francisco, July 16.-Last
winters unusual weather condi-
tons proved excellent for the
elk and deer in the Sequoia Nat
ional Park south of the Yose-
mite, in California. Heavy SHOWS
began on the levels above 5000
feet as early as October, but UNI
usally warm temperatures pre-
vailed in the valleys. The wild
feed, therefore, started early and
developed heavy crops. AS a
consequence the animals are
now in finer condition than for
a dozen years past. The bucks
are putting forth unusually
heavy growths of antleE A
bountiful increase is assured.
A freak deer made it's appear
ance at Hospital Rock in the
Sequoia Park on February Is,
and has remained in the vicinity
ever since. It is attracting no
little attention from the park
visitors and Government en-
ployees. The attraction of this
deer is its coloring, which is
drab gray (natural) with white
spots over its sides and back
from about A to 10 inches in dia-
meter. 1t has a white ring
around it's neck. The deer is a
doe, and is supposed to be two
years old. The Government en-
ployees call her pinto" She
is quite tame, like most other
deer in the parks.
