SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Best Remedy for Pest Is Thorough
Treatment With Lime-Sulphur MIX e,
ture Late in Winter.

(By c. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Expert.
ment Station.)
San Jose scale is one of the worst
pests attacking orchard trees IN this
country. 1t is extremely important
that orchards should be so treated as
to exterminatea the scale from them
and prevent it's spread to surrounding
orchards.
Undoubtedly the best remedy for
this scale is a thorough treatment
with lime-sulphur mixture late in the
winter or early in the spring, before
the buds begin to open on the trees.
If the commercial concentrated lime
sulphur mixtures are used they may
be diluted in the proportion of about
one part of the concentrated prepare
ton to ten parts of water. If home
made lime-sulphur sprays are used,
probably there is no better formula
than the following:
Good lump lime, Is pounds;
Flowers of sulphur, Is pounds;
Water, so gallons.
The lime should be slaked in warm
water and, as soon as the shaking has
been we'll started, the sulphur should
be added and enough water kept in
the receptacle to keep the mass thin
and sloppy. Boil for at least forty

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY

Sage and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. For so cents you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use tonic
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morn
ing all gray hair disappears, and, after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant. You will also dis.

Fair Board Seeks Cooperation.

The Wisconsin state board of agri
culture appointed committee consist
ing of Richard j. White, DR.. G. A.

waukee, to confer with the Merchants
and Manufacturers association Of that
city for the purpose of bringing about
a more harmonious feeling between
the business men of the Cream city
and the board which is expected to
promote the success of future state
fairs. The members of the board
said that they believed that if they
could secure the hearty cooperation
of the business men Of the city of Mil.
waukee the next State fair will be a

The board elected the following de-

The board discussed the advisability
of disseminating the practice of issuing
free passes, but took no action on the
matter. The board is inclined to adopt
a "pay-as-you-ente plan, which would,
it believes. result is largely increased
revenue. About five thousand free
passes are issued for each fair. The
board will consider the matter at it's
next meeting, which will be held in
Milwaukee on the first Friday of next
month

WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
Time for Hauling and Spreading
Manure-Add Bone Meal.

The winter when the ground is
frozen hard is favorable season for
hauling out with cart or sled the ma
nure needed. In spring the ground
is too soft to haul over and other
work is too pressing; the result is
this important matter is put off for
another year. The manure should be
hauled and spread evenly over the
ground. Do not place directly around
the trunks; it only affords a harbor
for mice and insects. The manure
should be rOtted and from granted
cattle or horses. Straw and corn
stalks, mixed with a little animal ma
nure, is poor stuff and is only valuable
as a mulch. This kind OF manure
should be hauled out to the orchard
and piled. Mix a half-bushel of raw
bone meal in each two-horse wagon
load of manure as it is piled and make
a compact heap, which will soon rot
down, and, when well rotted, should
be spread. About one to two bushels
is the proper quantity for each large
tree. The manure should be spread
in a circle as far out as the branches
extend.
Practical growers are now using
from 400 to 800 pounds of animal bone
and potash fertilizer per acre. The
fertilizer is drilled in with rye in the
early fall, the rye is turned under IN
April-for green manure. This meth
oG is found to be the cheapest and
best method of fertilizing the orchard

of the board. Despite the fact that
the free list was materially reduced,
5000 passes were issued for the last

The state board of agriculture will
not take any chance on importing the
foot-and-mouth disease through any
outside stock exhibition at the coming
fair. In the event that the disease is
wiped out in Wisconsin, but still ex-

Fair Board Asks $4,000.

Unless Wisconsin is willing to go
back of the state fair with liberal
policy. the state might as well drop
the fair or give up trying to make it
self-sustaining, said speakers before
the joint committee on finance.
The committee was told that to
make the fair a success the state
board of agriculture needs an appro-
priation of $4,000 in 1915 for per-
manent buildings, and $4,000 for an
emergency fund, part of which will go
to meet deficit of $4,000 on Janu-
airy 81. Damage and loss by fire and
tornado contributed to this deficit. An
appropriation of $4,000 is needed in
1916.

Protect Grapes From Mildew.

To protect grapes from mildew
which may or may not attack them
they should be busted or sprayed
with sulphur. For few vines or the

the sulphur in piece of burlap or a

the vines A sprayer which will
force the sulphur among the leaves
more completely is of course more
effective.
