A MODERN PORTIA

To Miss Lucille Pugh, the criminal
lawyer of New York, belongs the dis
tinction of being the first of her sex
to defend a man accused of murder
This honor Miss Pugh accepts with
the same. unassuming frankness that
characterized her conduct in the de-
fense of Leroy Poindexter, the negro,
whom she saved from the electric
chair.
Thanks to the skill with which
Miss Pugh handled the case the first
jury disagreed, and at the second trial
she obtained a verdict of manslaughter
in the second degree.
When trying her now famous case.
Miss Pugh made remarkable picture

BREEDING VEGETABLE FRUITS
AT HOME.

Anyone can breed plants. There is
no royal road to the crossing of
squashes, corn, beans, tomatoes, etc.,
declares DR.. Byron D. Halstead, bota-
mist at the New Jersey Experiment
Station. 1t is a kind of work that
should appeal in particular to the far
members of the family can become
interested.
Let it be granted that summer
squashes are the subject for breeding.
In the first place it will be well to
select two kinds that have fruits diff
fering greatly in shape and color. In
other words, to begin with, it may be
better to choose a white scallop and a
yellow crook-neck. The seed of each
may be planted in alternate rows so
that they will be neal at hand.
There are two kinds of flowers,
namely, those borne upon long, slender
stalks, that soon perish, and a second
kind with short stout stems. The for
mer furnish an abundance of sticky,
granular substance, the pollen,and the
latter has the beginnings of seeds. The
seed-bearing organs require the pres
ence of the pollen for the perfection of
the seeds. This pollen is carried by
insects, and in the early morning the
large. orange-colored blossoms are Wis
tied by many bees, which carry the
pollen unintentionally from flower to
flower, in their quest for nourishment.
In order that the crossing may be
under control it is necessary to exclude
the insects and transport the pollen
by hand. This can be done by tying
paper bags over the flower buds the
day before they are to open and after
wards smearing the ~ollen from the
one flower upon the seed bearing or
gan of another. By keeping a RECORD
of the operations upon tags tied to the
treated blossoms, the percentage OF
the seeds coming therefrom is known
1t will add greatly to the interest If

binations and it is not unlikely that

SPRAYING v I. BUSTING OF
WHITE POTATOES.

A recent bulletin issued by the New
Jersey Experiment Station makes
some interesting comparisons and
brings out some interesting figures
concerning the experiments which
have been carried on in this connection
by the ~entomologist and plant pathol-
ogist at the station.
In the experiments with dusts a
number of different combinations of
powdered lead a~rsenate and finely di-
vided sulphur were tried. Of all the
combinations tested the one containing
( the least amount of sulphur Us per
cent? gave best results. Later exper-
iments took the form of an attempt to
cheaper the dust mixture by REDUCING
the proportion of arsenate of lead (the
expensive part of the mixture) and by
the substitution of a cheaper d~ilutant
for sulphur.
The experiments carried out showed
that while home-mixed Bordeaux and
lead a%rsenate is cheaper to apply and
gives better yields, nevertheless when
liquid treatments are for any reason
impracticable dust mixtures are worth
while.
1t has been shown conclusively by
experiments in New York, Vermont
and other states that spraying potato
foliage thoroughly with well-made
Bordeaux mixture and arsenicals re-
suits in greatly increased yields. In
New York average increases of SO
bushels per acre with three applica-
tions and 97.5 bushels when from 5 to
7 applications were given; and on light
soils 25 bushels per acre increase was
obtained for 3 sprayings and 45.7
bushels for 5 to 7 applications. Far
mers' business experiments showed an
average gain of 36.1 bushels per acre
at a cost of $4.74 per acre.
The New Jersey Station has estab-
lished to its satisfaction that home
mixed Bordeaux is effective in control
ling insects and diseases of potatoes.
1t recommends the following spraying
+, schedule: % Spray with Bordeaux
and arsenate of lead mixture when the
plants are about 6 inches high, in such
fashion that all parts of the plants,
stems and upper sides of leaves will
be coated, repeating that treatment
every 10 days or two weeks until the
vines meet in the rows and prevent
further spraying.
% Give four sprayings ever if the
interval between sprayings must be
shortened to permit the application OF
that number.
Home-mixed Bordeaux (5-5-50) tc
which has been added three pounds OF
powdered lead arsenate is the stand
ard mixture used by the Experiment
Station in these tests.

NEW PLANT DISEASE BULLETIN

The department of plant pathology
at the New Jersey Experiment Station
has recently issued circular No. "A on
the common diseases of apples, pears
and ounces. This circular is intended
to familiarize the fruit growers of the
state with the most common diseases
of the pomaceous fruits and the latest
and most satisfactory treatments. In
treating the different diseases expla-
nation is given of the manner in which
they cause injury, the fruits which
they attack and recommendations for
their control or elimination. This bull
letin is free upon request to residents
