PEACH LEAF CURL
AND ITS PREVENTION

While the extent of the injury varies
with the different varieties, and with
the character of the season, il is seldom
that spring passes when peach trees
are entirely free from the attack Of
Leaf-Curl.
The name leaf-curl is given to the
blistering, thickening, and curling of
peach-tree foliage which often occurs
when the weather in May, and June is
cold and wet. The attack may be so
severe that practically all Of the leaves
may drop, and this may result in a
partial or entire loss of the crop of fruit
Formerly it was supposed that the
loss of the leaves was due directly to
the unfavorable climatic conditions, but
it is now known that it is a fungous
nature, and that the reason why il only
develops in cold, wet weather is that
the conditions are then favorable for
the development of the disease.
Like other fungous diseases, the
development of leaf-curl can be pre-
vented by thoroughly spraying the
trees in the spring II the application
is not made by the middle of April, or
even before that date, in early seasons
little, if any, effect will be secured.
In sections where the San Jose scale
is present, the socalled dormant spray
for the scale containing one part OF
commercial lime-sulphur solution to 8
or parts of water will control the leaf
curl, provided it is not delayed too long
A somewhat weaker application, per-
haps, LIS, will answer when the scale
is not present, or, we may substitute a
solution OF copper sulphate, using 2
pounds in so gallons of water Bordeaux
mixture may also be used but is no
more effectual than the clear solution,
and will cost two or three times as
much, besides being more difficult to
prepare and apply.
Peach leaf-curl is one Of the easiest
of all fungous diseases to control by
spraying, as only one application is
necessary but it must be made early in
the season, and care must be taken to
cover all the buds and branches with
spray.

HOUSEHOLD HELPS

Garments which have been stained
with vaseline should be soaked In kero-
sene before water or soap touches
them. Vegetable and animal oils and
fats, such as olive oil, butter and other
products known as grease" yield to
soap and water. If the spot is large
and the fabric heavy, it may be re-
moved by the application Of heat and
an absorbent. Place blotting or wrap
ping paper over and under the spot,
and press warm iron over it. As
heat will change many colors, one
should work cautiously, holding the
IRON above the goods until the effect il
noted. Any kind Of coarse meal will
absorb grease.
When buying hose, If you get the
cheaper silk or Isle hose in the dark
gray shade they will look just like more
expensive grades of real silk hose
when worn with black footwear.

IMPORTANT BUSINESS
CHANGE MADE

P. A. Bowlar, of Waubay, made
q deal with the management cf the
Dakota Hardware Co. for their
stock Of hardware goods and farm
implements the early part of the
week, giving in exchange 400 acres
of splendid farm land, sixteen
miles east of Aberdeen on the
main line of the Milwaukee.
The new owner took possession
the first of this month, but will
not be here in person until about
the first of the week, when Bowlar
will arrive and take an active part
in the affairs of the company and
to make arrangements to get a res
idence for his family, who it is
stated, will join him here in the
near future.
The former owners of tie store
have not decided just what busi-
ness they will engage in, however,
it will be some time before they
leave Mohridge.

ceiving from both rural carriers
and patrons have been more mum.
erous and bitter the last few mon
tbs than for years before.
Rural carries claim that they
have suffered chiefly on two counts;
one that although they are under
civil service, there have been hun.
dreds of dismissals without just
cause and the other that their
routes have been heightened and
their work increased without ad-
ditiOnal pay. The complaints
from patrons of the rural routes
are uniformly based upon sweeping
reductions in the service.
The conditions causing these
complaints are due to the failure OF
the post Office appropriation bill
and the consequent necessity for
managing the postal service unber
a re-enactment of last years ap-
preparation.
The principal changes ordered
by the department reducing the
carrier force arise. first by the pro.
posed consolidation of about l, 800
routes 25 miles long; second, in
lengthening the standard routes
and still further reducing the car
rier force; third, by making one
carrier serve two routes on alter.
nate days, and dropping the extra
carrier. 1t is estimated that more
than two thousand rural carriers
have lost their place under these

reductions.
The patrons of the rural routes
base their criticisms, on the claim
that many have had to move their
mail boxes at least half a mile from
their former locations, and they,
instead of the carriers, must travel
that distance for mail; second,
that instead-of getting mail six
times each week they receive it only
every other day; third. all these
changes cripple the effectiveness Of
the parcel post service, especially
as to the perishable goods There
is also a general complaint Of cur
tailment Of the rural free delivery
service.
Mass meetings of patrons have
been held in many localities pro.
testing against the Generalization
of their service and are daily be-
coming more frequent.
Reports from associations Of ru-
raj carriers claim that not only
have the men lost their enthusiasm
for the service, but through fear Of
dismissal have resigned. This is
largely the result, it is said, ct de-
partment instructions to have
Democratic postmasters, instead OF
civil service inspectors, make con-
fidental reports upon the qualifi-
cations of carriers as basis for
reductions. This arrangement has
opened the way to rank discrimi-
