who wishes to learn whether he may
wisely omit one OF the above sprayings,
because Of freedom from certain pests,
will be promptly answered, or Will re-
ceive a personal visit, if he will COM
municate with the County Agent at
the Office of the Litchfield County Farm
Bureau at Litchfeld, Connecticut.
The spray pump should be one capa-
BILE of maintaining a strong and even
pressure. One forty or fifty foot lead
of 3-8 hose, either at least four ply
rubber hose guaranteed to withstand a
pressure of at least one hundred pounds,
or specially constructed cotton hose, is
needed by anyone using hand pump.
For power pump, all additional length
of about twenty five feet is required.
The hose i'll this case should be guar
anteed to withstand pressure of about
two hundred pounds. The spray pole
should be about eight or ten feet in
length and should have a shut off that
will not leak. For ordinary trees, an
angle disc nozzle, and for very high
trees. a Bordeaux nozzle is needed.
For large trees, a tower should be CON
structed upon the wagon used to carry
the outfit.

SPRAYING Apple Trees.

1t is now a matter of common agree
meht that we can expect neither good
apples nor profitable returns from I'M
sprayed orchards. Spraying, when uu-
accompanied by proper methods OF
pruning the trees, fertilizing and car
ing for the soil, and picking and mar
keting the fruit, will not be success
full. But, without spraying, these
other things always fail to produce
satisfactory results.
Under ordinary Litchfeld County
conditions, at least three sprayings are
necessary, and, in some cases, four will
be required. In order to do the work
most cheaply and effectively, the trees
must be properly pruned before it is
attempted.
First Spray. The first application is
made at any time before the buds open.

scale, aud wher9 there is no scale, it

use is:

SUFFRAGE PRO AND CON

That Connecticut SuirraEists shall
LEAD AID To the nCignhnri NJ states i'm
which popular vote will be taken on
woman suffrage this fall, was the most
important resolution passed at the last
meeting of the Executive Board of the
Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. The only difficulty is 10 select
the field of operations where help is
most needed and where it will be most,
effective. There is plenty of choice.
New, jersey will be the first STATE to
vote ON woman suffrage, as the vote
there is taken in September, and New
Jersey will probably be the first state
to receive reintorccm from Con-
neCt!"ut. But MASSACHUSETTS, and New

Con.

The Suffragists are apt TO claim the
credit for all good conditions in suf-
frage states, although in some cases
such conditions were partly or entirely
provided for before women ever voted
at all. On the other hand when unde
sirable things occnr the suffragists
hasten 10 assert that the women have
no responsibility in the matter. Let
us see what has been going on in suffrage
states of late. At a recent Chicago
election only about one. third of the
women were registered, and according
to the Boston Transcript, $4,000 of
voted, however, TO defeat Harrison and
give a majority to Sweitzer who stands
for a wide open-town.
In Nevada one of the first acts of the
legislature after the acknowledgements Of
women was to pass the easy divorce Bill
restoring the former conditions which
made Reno a National scandal. 1t is
said that Governor Boyle delayed his
signature, hoping in vain for some re.
mOnstrance.
But worst Of all the lower house in
Colorado has passed measure abolish
ing the Juvenile Court. Is there any
male suffrage state where the legislature
has voted to abolish the Children,s
Court? Nor has this happened because
Denver is so perfect that such court is
no longer needed there. Only few
months ago Judge Lindsey declared
that the cases on sex charges alone have
increased 300 per cent.
Isn't Connecticut better off without
Woman Suffrage than Illinois, Nevada
and Colorado with it?

River Pollution.

The Connecticut Research Associa-
ton with headquarters at Greenwich,
are making vigorous campaign favor
ing the bill submitted by the State
Board of Health, relating to sewage
disposal and the pollution of the
streams in the state. In an elaborate
statement the Association says:
In brief the bill adds to the Boards
previous power of investigation of
pollution, the power to order such
pollution abated, and in reasonable
time, and with proper legal safeguards,
appeals, etc. The control over new
sewerage systems is complete, begin
ming with the approval of the design.
In case of existing plants, the larger
ones may continue to discharge sewage
as heretofore but only on "a revocable
permit, unanimously approved by the
Governor, Attorney General and Secre-
tary of the State Board of Health. The
smaller existing systems do not need a
permit, but at any time proceedings
may be started by the State Board of
Health to abate any nuisance arising.
The bill provides all the legal ma.
chinery necessary for statewide control
of what is essentially not local but a
state matter, in that the point of origin
Of pollution, and the point where the
damage is done, are frequently not in
the same town.
1.-THE large powers conferred by the
bill are no larger than are required by
the large problem confronting the
State, as described in the Report to the
Legislature on Stream Pollution. Con-
necticut is a network of rivers and the
conclusion of the report is that with
few exceptions all of the rivers of the
State give evidence of pollution. U.s.
ing the measure of dissolved oxygen as
an index to pollution, it appears that
the per cent. of oxygen saturation varies
from SO per cent. in the Housatonic
River at Rocky Hill Bridge to zero in
the Mianus River at Mianus, but the
former per cent, or anything like it,,
was rarely found in the thousands of
samples taken at many points along
the course Of each river. Quoting from
the report again, lin nearly every river
the amount of oxygen present is dan
gerously near the limit at which major
fish life ceases to exist, and the con-
slant presence of colon bacillus is evi.
dence of contamination by human or
animal excreta.

Second. Walk mile day.
Third. Abstain from pork. Few
Jews have cancer, tuberculosis or small
pox.
Fourth. BE clean-in person, abode
and conversation.
Fifth. Eat moderately of good food.
Get bread baked at home from Chester
county flour made by the milestone
process. Get hutter from some honest
farmer. Eat all the apples you can.
Sixth. Don't forget to speak to
everybody. The salutation of a good
remembrance is joy to the soul.
Seventh. Stand up straight; look
people in the eye when conversing and
speak the truth.
Eighth. Respect age, honor age;
treat all older people courteously.
Their hearts are tender and true and
they wish you well; seek the advice of
old people.
Ninth. Get to heaven by staying Mt
home and making your heaven there.
Make comrades of your children. You
don't need to go from home to get good
fellowship. No club, no society, can
supply the place of the fireside, by the
evening lamp at home.
Tenth. Sleep in a we'll ventilated
room, doors and windows wide open.

School Nurses .

A school physician bill has been in-
troduced in the state Legislature and
was discussed by physicians and others
last week before the committee. The
bill requires that the organized board
of health or if there is no organized
board of health. the secretary of the
state board of health to appoint physi-
clans CT nurses who shall devote all
their time during school hours to the
examination and supervision of the
health Of the individual pupils and the
health conditions Of the schools. The
bill requires that the expense for this
shall be charged to the town or city;
but exempts those towns or cities which
have already made provision for such
work. The law provides that i'm case IA
town is not large enough TO require the
entire time of doctor or nurse the sec
rotary Of the state board of health may
institute joint system of medical in-
spection with other towns, the expense
to be paid by the towns in the ratio of
the enumeration of children over and
under 10 years of age residents in such
towns. -
