of carbolic acid. Each time branch
infected with blight or canker is re-
moved, the cut should be made several
inches below where the injury shows
and the tools each time should be dis
infected.
Whenever any Of these diseases are
present in an orchard or vineyard the
trees and vines should be sprayed with
lime sulphur solution e gallons to &C
gallons of water). or 2 pounds Of copper
sulphate in the same amount of water
may be used, just before the buds open.
If the San Jose scale or other scale in
sects are upon the trees, the strength
of the lime sulphur solution should be
increased to gallons with 40 gallons
of water.
BY thus destroying the infected parts
of the trees, and disinfecting the re-.
naming portions by spraying, the in
jury from these diseases will be greatly
reduced, but as there will be untold
millions of spores and germs upon the
leaves and fruits which have fallen to
the ground. it is essential If their at
tack is to be warded off during the
summer, that the trees be sprayed as
soon as the leaves and fruit appear, and
that the application be repeated suffi-
GENTLY often to cover the new growth
as it develops.

Agricultural Agents Work.
From Saginaw Courier Herald. }


The advisory council of the Saginaw
County Farm Bureau met at the offices
of the West Side Business association.
Tuesday afternoon. County Agricul-
turist Robinson's report had to do with
the rs farms in the southern part of the
county, which were studied earlier in
the year by the United States govern
ment experts He also outlined plans
for the seasons work and very in
teresting discussion followed. 1t is
planned to have boys hike some time
this season which will include visit to
the places of interest in the county, the
Prairie farm, the Dixie farm and others
The boys will carry their own equip
ment and have an instructive and en-.
jovable holiday week
Demonstrations of corn testing have
been arranged for the next week which
for the most part will be promoted in
connection with the rural schools and
the Grange at Birch Run.
Some interesting data was recorded
and explained regarding the farms
studied by the government experts.
The data was compiled to determine
the amount of labor income, first from
the crops; second, animal units, and
third, equipment. Then the receipts
per animal unit were computed, and
the Yields in per cent determined. AL.
so the earnings of crop acres, per horse
and per man. Then sources of income
for farms were tabulated and per cents
computed. 1t was found that 90 per
cent of the farmers having less than
important sources of income do not pay
interest, and only per cent of the
farmers having more than three sources
Of income do not make interest. Many
of the farmers have been highly sue.
cessful and the gains have ranged high
in per cents. These were farmers who
had developed many sources of income
on their farms.

Cleaning up thef Orchard.

Many of theS diseases of orchard
fruits winter either in the mummied
fruits which cling to the fruit spurs, as
Is the case with the brown.rot of plums
and peaches. and the black-rot and
other diseases of the grape, or in the
branches when the black. knot of plum
and cherry trees, the e-blight of pears
and ounces, or the canker of apple
trees, is present.
All of these fungous diseases develop
winter spores which push their way to
the surface as lspring comes and are
carried by the wind, or by rain, to the
healthy surfaces Of the same or other
trees. 1t is, therefore, essential If we
expect to keep our trees free from these
troubles that before the spores are dis.
tributed, the infected portions are re.
moved and destroyed. The fire. blight
is bacterial disease but the germs are
spread in the above ways as we'll as by
bees.
