High School
Wins Contest
Local Schools Make Good Show
ing in Sub-District.

Gr Howard and Oscar Bennett,
accompanied by F. T. Smith, went to
Kalkaska last Friday night where they
represented East Jordan high school in
the Sub-district oratorical and declam-
atory contest Other schools represent
ed were Kalkaska. Harbor Springs and
Traverse City. Miss Howard drew first
position in the order of speaking and
for that reason did not work up the
enthusiasm in her delivery that she
might otherwise have done, but she
represented the local school in a very
creditable manner. In the declamatory
contest Oscar Bennett delivered in
very forceful style "Regullus TO the
Carthaginians." His closest opponent
was the Traverse City speaker but he
received first place from two judges
and second from one, in the latter case
being only one-half of one per cent be-
hind, and was awarded first place in
the contest. The judges Cn delivery
were Supt. Don Harrington of Big
Rapids, Supt. H. A. Craig of Charlevoix
and Rev. Manning of Petoskey.
Bennett will represent this sub
district in the district contest which
will be held at Big Rapids on April 30.
The winner of this contest will be
eligible for the state contest to be held
at Lansing in May. The schools now
eligible for the district contest are
Harbor Springs, Manistee and Fremont
in oratory and Big Rapids, Muskegon;
Fremont and East Jordan in declama-
tion. The district comprises twelve
counties and Supt. L. p. Holiday is
district chairman.

CLEANING UP
THE ORCHARD
Another Article From the Pen of
Prof. L. K. Taft.

Many OF the 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 cher
ry trees, the fire-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 spring 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 distributed, the infected portions
are removed and destroyed. The fire.
blight is bacterial disease but the
germs are spread in the above ways, as
well as by bees.
When pruning the trees and vines,
it is a simple matter to remove the
mummied fruits and to cut away the
blighted branches, or those which have
the"" "black-knot" and "cankers" upon
them. In some cases when the knots
and "cankers" are upon the trunks
and large branches it is possible to
pare away the infected portions and
paint the wounds with a disinfecting
material, such as a five per cent solu-
ton Of carbolic acid. Each time
branch infected with blight or canker
is removed, the cut should be made
several inches below where the injury
shows and the tools each time should
be disinfected.
Whenever any of these diseases are
present in an orchard or a vineyard
the trees and vines should be sprayed
with lime-sulphur solution q gallons in
so gallons of water, or pounds Of
copper sulphate In the same amount OF
water may be used, just before the
buds open. II the San Jose scale or
other scale insects are upon the trees,
the strength of the lime-sulphur solu-
ton should be increased to 5 gallons
with 40 gallons of water
y 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
spnves 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
sufficiently often to cover the new
growth as it develops.

Making the Garden

Come out into the garden, Maude,
Come out and watch me make it;
I've got two spades, two pecks of seeds
And rake with which to rake it,
Come out and watch with what deft
skill
An Irishman hire:
And help me sit upon the fence
To watch the man perspire.
When was young and foolish, Maude,
used TO do that work;
And showed big blisters on my hands
AS proudly as Turk.
But now, although my head is bald,
It's twenty times as foxy,
And when the gentle springtime comes
! garden it by proxy.

1t is curious to recall that some sew

hoping to take out a patent for a Sly

as hopeless the problem since solved
by the aeroplane, regarding it as i'm
possible to carry the motor engine and
motor power required for a long flight
His idea was suggested by the pr1nci-
pie of the kite and involved the draw
ing through the air of an inclined
plane by iron wire cords attached to
an endless wire rope moved by sta
ttonary engines. The fatal flaw was the
impracticable weight of the wire rope,
and the one good feature of the scheme
was that it would have been of little
or no use for war.-LOndon Globe.
