HOW TO PREPARE BORDEAUX
A Few Suggestions in Regard to lts
Proper Mixing-Formuia Most in
Use at Present Time.

AS bordeaux is probably the most
used fungicide at present, few sug.
gestions in regard to its proper mix
ing will not be out of place The for
mula most in use at present is four
pounds of copper sulphate (blue Wit
rioD four pounds of good lime and
so gallons of water. The granulated
used, and only wellburned lime which
is not air slaked should be used, Be
sure to use lime enough. II lime Is
poor or it there is any fear of bor-
deaux injury to the fruit add another
pound of lime.
The lime and copper sulphate should
be prepared in different receptacles,
preferably halt barrels. The copper
sulphate should be held in sack at
the top of the half barrel and allowed
to dissolve. Never put the copper
sulphate in the bottom OF the barrel
When shaking the lime add the water
little at time SO as not to kill the
heat from the lime. When the slak.
ing Is completed and when the copper
sulphate is all dissolved and both mix
lures have been brought up to Is
gallons. they may be put together
after thorough mixing. Be sure to
pour the copper sulphate into the lime,
which has previously been put into a
mixing barrel or the spray pump. Do
not pour the lime into the copper sui
phate, as the mixture obtained is not
good bordeaux and will oftentimes do
injury instead Of being beneficial.

SHOULD LOOK TO THE FUTURE

SHOULD LOOK TO THE FUTURE
1t has been suggested to the Times
by one of our public spirited citi-
zens that it is the right time to make
provisions for larger city park. A
park that will care for the needs
of its people for years to come. It
was urged by this citizen that during
the present low ebb of land prices,
that forty acres be obtained upon
which the city should plan beautiful
park In connection with this park,
it was urged that sites for permanent
fair buildings for the county could
be located without detriment to either.
The Times believes that the plan
is meritorious and one that with pro-
per boosting can be brought to real
ization Forty acre tracts close in
that are worth while for such pro-
ject are not plentiful, but the edi-
tor has several in mind which can
be purchased at right prices. The
plan by which this could be accom-
plished would be that of a stock COM
pany setting the shares at either ten
or one hundred dollars. 1t would
seem easy to thus get on the in
stallment plan money to finance the
deal
In conjunction with the plan for
such park and fair grounds, The
Times would suggest that to make 1t
a city play grounds would be worth
while Put in the swimming pool
and bath houses. Make tennis courts
and ball diamond and good grand
stand Make it place where the
people of the whole country could
spend restful afternoon and where
the Riddles can play out of danger OF
the crowded city streets. 1t should
prove q sound Investment for every
dollar put into it by people OF this
community.
We need a bigger park. The time Is
ripe to purchase land at low prices
Let's do it.

DEMAND THIS LABEL

The complications which have be-
set the city and its private water
works company are in fair way to be
settled as the result of an interview
between the city council and Attorney
E. B. Critchlow. While there may be
some difference of opinion as to the
physical value of the water works sys-
tenn, there is sound logic in the theory
that to buy the system is the cheap
est way~ ito municipal system While
the price demanded may be high yet
there is no economy in waiting several
years omre and then paying the same
price The profits during those years
would help substantially toward pay
ing the cost Of the system. There is
pretty good evidence that until the
city takes over the present system
there will be no bonds sold for mum

TALKS ON THRIFT
No. s2.-vACANT LOT GARDENING

Economy is no disgrace: it is
better living on little than out
living great deal. Ralph Waldo
Emerson.
Owing to the rolling nature of the
surface in the upper part of the Bor-
ough of Manhattan, New York City
there are places where the Broadway
subway is really an Elevated" and
one must ride in an escalator to reach
the station platform
From the vantage point of one of
these elevated subway stations can be
seen another apparent contradiction
in terms-a garden plot in the great
city.
There, in triangular piece OF
ground formed by the coming together
of three streets, is little house and
garden entirely shut out from the pas
sersby in the streets by the high bill
boards enclosing the place on all three
sides.
| For both economical and esthetic
reasons, there ought to be many more
such garden spots in New York and
every other city.
| 1t is estimated that $4,000 was re-
allied from crops raised on vacant lots
in the city of Philadelphia last year.
| There are few cities in the United
States that cover the immense area
that Philadelphia does, but there are
none without some vacant land that
could and should be used for similar
purpose.
Even in the biggest and most crowd
ed cities, like New York and Chicago
there is a considerable acreage of land
not under cultivation.
And kitchen" gardens have become
a reality in Chicago. Mrs. Leonora 2.
Meder, commissioner of public well
fare, opened a five-acre tract at East
One Hundred and Tenth street and In
diana avenue and thirty-acre tract
at East One Hundred and Twenty
Sixth street and Indiana avenue a few
weeks ago.
Fifty men were awarded plots in
the five-acre area and in the larger
tract sixty men and their families till
the soil.
1.-THE unemployed are given first
choice" Mrs. Meder said. Each man
is given enough land to cultivate so as

A similar movement has been started
in Seattle, Cleveland, st. Paul and 9th
err cities.
A California newspaper says:
"War-stricken Europe would toda,
be starving were it not for the won
derful knowledge of gardening pos
sessed by it's people, who can make I
few acres yield enough to keep fam
lily in food for year.
"The soil of America, even that 0
American cities, is better than that o
Europe and it can be made still bet
ter by work and fertilization"
/ With little garden on every vast
lot, big municipal garden on tn
waste acres owned by the city, and
fair sized garden in every suburban
back yard, there would be little DANCE
of poverty in any American city.
