CONGRESS IN RUSH
TO Adjourn Session
With Ship Purchase Bill on
the Shelf, Lawmakers
Will Get Busy
SPECIAL SESSION
ONLY FOR EMERGENCY
By Tho United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-With the
ship purchase bill sidetrackcd in con-
ference, Congress today entered upon
a getaway" rush to avoid an extra
session.
Republicans declared the ship bill
will die in conference. after possibly
a formal attempt to make amendments
and bring IL before the Senate once
more Democrats admitted prospects
of its final enactment were slim.
Rush work upon appropriation bills
was the program entered upon today
by the Senate Although there are
only eleven more days bfore March
4. night sessions. beginning next week,
It was believed. would enable both
houses to clean up the money meas
ures. and adjourn.
High hopes OF avoiding an extra
sessions were expressed by all fac
tions today. II was accepted that the
President would not call an extra ses-
sion solely for the ship bill This
word has been passed around general
ly. Leaders believe special session
will be called only in the event OF in
ternational complications.
Senator Martin today proposed 70
call up the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill, to be fol-
lowed Immediately by the rest OF the
fifteen appropriation measures.
Following appointment today OF
House conferees on the ship purchase
bill. the House was ready to pass the
diplomatic and consular appropriation
bill. the Notifications and then the
4
alton measures. The House will then
mark time and adopt conference re-
ports on the supply measures. The
only preliminary lOophOle left for the
slip bill today was the agreement to
take up the conference report, II one
is agreed upon, on or after Febru-
ary 27.
It is believed the appropriation bills
however. will not be shuntod aside on
that date and that the Senate will con-
tinue with supply measures, holding
off action on the ship bill until the last
days of the session. I'm any event, the
Republicans are in a position to fill
buster during the few remaining days
and defeat the measure.
The bill would never he brought oui
of conference. was the general predic-
tion today. The President will thus be
able TO "go TO the country" and charge
the Republicans with its defeat while
the Republicans gladly accept the is

DEMONSTRATORS PERKINS TELLS
HOW AND WHEN TO SPRAY TREES
Gives Timely Advice ON Time for
Spraying and Solution Used for
Procure Better Fruit.

The time has come when it iS neces-
ssry to spray our fruit trees If we ex-
pect to harvest a maximum amount Of
salable fruit. Insect pests and the
fungus diseases have become such a
strong force it is necessary for the
fruit growers to adopt measures to
control them.
Fruit growers who have not sprayed
before are very often afraid that they
will kill the honey bees. However, ]
VIII say that if spraying is done at the
proper time to be the best for the APP
pies, there is no danger of killing the
bees. Bees work when the apple trees
are in full bloom, and there is no
spraying advised at such time. The
first spraying to kill the codling moth
or curculio should be done immediate
ly after the blossoms fall.
The most economical results as a
general rule in the western part of
North Carolina is obtained when the
trees are sprayed three and four
tines.
L. Winter spraying: Use CONNER
cial lime-sulphur wash at rate of /
gallon lime-sulphur to 8 gallons water.
The winter treatment is especially
for San Jose scale. If this pest is
troubling you, you need not use this
treatment every year; but it has such
a good general effect on the trees that
il is we'll to use it every few years any
way, and it is important for those who
have San Jose scale to use it ever
year.
2. Just after blossoms fall, prompt
ly use commercial l~ime-Sulphur at rate
OF 1 IL gallons Lime-Sulphur to 81
J gallons water and add 3 pounds OF
arsenate of lead.
This is the most important spraying
of all for the fruit, and should nevel
be neglected in bearing orchards. It's
special object is to kill the codling
moth which makes the "wormy apple"
and as the worm generally enters the
blossom end of the apple it is neces-
sary to spray promptly after the bios
SONS fall, as the blossom end is then
open and will receive the poison. All
tire trees will not shed the blossoms
at the same time, so we must strike a.
the best time for the average, or for
the ones we prize most, and every eff
fort must be made to lodge some of the
open blossom end of each young apple.
3. Three to four weeks later use
the lime-sulphur and poison as same
as for the second spraying or Bor-
deaux mixture at the rate of 4 pounds
lime, 3 pounds blue stone, to so gallons
water, and 3 pounds arenate of lead.
This treatment coming three or four
weeks after the blossoms have fallen
viii be when the apples are about an
inch in diameter, more or less. 1t will
reach some cooling moth which escap-
co the second treatment and will catch
c~aterpillars, which may have started
since. AS the leaves will be nearly
grown, this treatment will usually
benefit them for the rest of the season.
4. About ten weeks later use the
same as used third time. This is nee
essary where apples are bad t. rot on
the trees.
