the late-winter application of bpr- deaux mixture. An excellent featare of the lime-sulphur wash is it's stn- eral effect on the trees in removing moss, dead bark, etc. This will check the scale, if it should get started5 at any time, and would entirely prevent the scale from killing dozens or hun discovered, as it often does.
 Lime-sulphur has some disadvan- tages. It is somewhat troublesome to prepare and is destructive to spray pumps by reason of it's corrosive ac- tion. This latter point should be pro- vided against by purchasing pumps with all working parts, or all parts which come in contact with the mate rial, of brass, as brass will withstand it quite we'll. Copper pumps or tanks are quickly destroyed by it.
 Self-boiled lime-sulphur is practi- cally the only satisfactory fungicide that is safe to use on peach, plum and cherry foliage. At the present time it is used for the control of peach scab and brown rot upon peaches, end leaf rot on cherry.
 Homemade lime-sulphur solution costs about one-half as much as fhe commercially prepared at current prices. It requires little more care in it's use, since it is usually not as constant in strength as the best com mercial brands.
 Boil the solution not less than forty five nor more than sixty minutes.
 Sediment is due to the following causes: lumpy sulphur, which shoh hld be run through sieve, not enolg water, impure lime, air slaked li e, improperly slaked lime, irregular b H. ing. It should be strained out through two thicknesses of wire fly screening or strainer. The sludge that pasFes through the strainer may be difre- garded.
 Unless used the day it is mSde, which is often the most practicable method, concentrated lime-sulphur solution should be stored as soonl as made in air-tight barrels. If open vessels are used for storage a thin film of oil on the surface will prevent deterioration.
 If burned lime is used it should be slaked with hot water, and care must be taken to use enough water to pre- vent burning, and yet not enough to drown the lime and thus prevent slaking; slaking is more easily done with hot water. The sulphur may be mixed to a paste and then added to the lime solution, or it may be added dry and mixed afterward. Hydrated lime can be added after the sulphur, before the sulphur or with the sul- phur with equally good results.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-03-10

Lime-sulphur wash is mainly a winter remedy, and the later in the winter the treatment is given the bet ter, just so the work is finished before the buds open. It is injurious to young foliage and blossoms. If one is unavoidably delayed in using it and finds that he must treat the trees aft CT the buds have opened, the appli- cation should be directed merely to the trunk and branches, and care should be used to touch as little as possible of the flowers, foliage or young fruit with it. When this care is used, it may be used as remedy for San Jose scale even in summer
 Lime-sulphur wash is now the ma terial mostly relied upon for control ling the scale, and it has proved so effectual that when one once finds that his trees are infested and knows how to prepare this wash, there Is no real necessity for another tree being lost from the scale. When the in- gradients are properly boiled together and the wash then applied to the
Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-03-10


 trees, so as to thoroughly treat all the branches and twigs, it is fatal to every scale that is wetted by it. It can not, however, be relied upon to ex- terminate the San Jose scale, for it is impracticable to make an applica- tion so thorough as to reach every one of the tiny scales. It is so effective, however, that one thorough treatment late each winter is sufficient to keep the trees in good condition. Trees that are very badly infested when the scale is first discovered might be treated in the fall after the leaves are off and again in late winter. But once the scale is subdued, one treat ment each winter is sufficient.
 When trees have been sprayed with lime-sulphur wash in late winter there is no need to spray with bordeaux mixture until after the blossoms fall; in other words, a late-winter appli- cation of the wash takes the place of

 to the chamber of commerce of the United States in Washington, the prospects are for an increasing scar city of food throughout the world be- cause of the European war. He urges that every American farmer be eQ- couraged to increase his food produ., Hou to the maximum. By clearing cut-cver land in Marcl: 1t Is possible to seed it this coming spring and get big crop off this vir, gin soil during 1915. and the low freez- ] ing explosives make March blasting ,, feasible.

Land clearing is usually considered . warm weather proposition, April and September being the most popular pe- riods, but the introduction of low freezing explosives now makes it pos sible to blast stumps in March and in early winter.
 In any weather in which it Is fear. ible to bore the holes under tho stumps these modern explosives work we'll without thawing. This point is of particular importance right now be- cause there never has been a time wh~n land clearing vas more desirable then at present.
