How to Spray for San Jose
Scale
BY LEONARD HAsEMAN.

With the approach of spring
every fruit grower begins to In
auire If the fruit buds are still
alive and wonder II they are going
to escape the late frosts. A far
more important matter which he
should consider is the question Of
whether or not his trees are in
festedwith San Jose Scale. While
il is now late to attempt to con-
troll the pest, with prompt action
there is yet time TO save many
orchards. When the trees are in
leaf it is not possible to fight the
scale successfully and by the
time the leaves are off again next
fall many valuable trees will have
been destroyed.
! The only practical method
known for controlling this pest in
the orchard is spraying with very
concentrated solutions during she
dormant season. For this pur-
pose, either lime-pulphur or one
of the soluble oils especially pre-
pared for controlling II may be
used. First make sure II the scale
is present on ths trees and il it is
proceed at once to spray. AT any
time send samples OF twigs and
bark to the Agricultural Expert :
ment Station, Columbia, Mis-.
souriif you do not know the scale.
Before the middle Of April the
fruit buds are almost sure TO open
90 there is no time to lose.
When spraying keep In mind,
that the solution you are to use
will kill only those scales which
1t touches. Spray thoroly from,all
directions 50 that every particle
Of the tree is covered with the
soinlioo.

What Corn to Plant For
Silage.

In q recent letter to the College
Of Agriculture a Missouri farmer
had this to say;
| Last summer built two con-
crete silos. I will fill them for the
first time this fall. Are there any
other crops besides corn that can
be used successfully as silagep
II use corn what kind should
| plant and how should il be
pfantedp"
In answering this question W.
M.Regan Of the Dairy Department
says: "Many crops are used as
silage with varying success in
different localities. For Missouri
conditions, however, corn Is the
only crop that can be generally
recommended. Corn grows we'll
in oil parts OF the state and yields
more food material per acre than
any other crop. 1t is moro easily
harvested and put into silo than
any Of the hay crops. With the har.
vesting machinery that we have
at the present time the hay crops
are much more difficult to handle
after being cut. furthermore corn
makes an excellent quality Of
silage. The legnmes such as
clover, alfalfa and cowpeas are
liable to rot unless great care is
taken to pack the silags firmly
and force the air ont. Cowpeas
are often planted with the corn.
A mixture OF the two makes ex-
cellent silage but the difficulty Of
harvesting makes the system un-
practical.
The best corn for the silo in
any locality is the same corn that
produces the largest yield Of ears
In that locality. The corn that
produces the immense yields of
fodder are the late maturing
southern varieties. These IN Mis-
souri, must necessarily be har-
vested at an immature state. On
most Missouri farms such corn
as Reid's Yellow Dent or Boone
County White, make excellent
silage corn. This corn should be
planted in exactly the same man.
ner as il would be planted to get
the largest yield of grain"

THIN FOLKS WHO
WOULD BE FAT
Increase In Weight Ten Pounds OF
More.
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

"I'd certainly give most anything to
se able to fat up few pounds and
,tay that way" declares every exces-
lively thin man or woman. Such re-
suit is not impossible. despite past
failures. Thin people are victims OF
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements Of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers Of nutrition are
normal Instead Of getting into the
blood. all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is scientific combination Of six of
the best strengthgiving,f reproducing
elements known to the medical pro-
fession. Taken with meals, it mixes
with the food and turns the sugars
and starches into rich, ripe nourish.
ment for the tissues and blood and its
rapid effect is remarkable Reported
gains of from ten to twenty-five
pounds in single month are by nc
means infrequent. Yet its action is
perfectly natural and absolutely harm
less. Sargol is sold by Leo H. Ffhe
Richmond, and other good druggists
everywhere and every package con
tains a guarantee Of weight increase
or money back.
Charlottesville Sargol has pro
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment Of nervous indigestion and gen
eral stomach disorders, 1t should not
owing to its remarkable flesh produc
ing effect, be used by those who ar,
not willing to increase their weigh
ten pounds or more--Atv.
