THIN APPLES, PEACHES, PLUMs

All should be active at this time of year thinning aples. Peaches. if they have not already been thinned should be at once Plums should also be thinned to insure good yield. Those who have a good set should not hesi- tate to thin severely. The plum cur cUlio and other insects have done con- siderable damage this year on the ap- ples, so that it is necessary to remove a large per cent. of the apples in or der to get up the imperfect ones. All fruit should be removed except one on a spur, and if apples on spurs are close together they should be thinned so that they are only four to seven inches apart

FLOW IDLE LAND AND SEED IT.

Hundreds of acres of good grass land that have been cut for many, many years, are producing practically no grass today This investment is idle and bringing no returns Why not make this working capital by blowing immediately, narrowing every 10 days and seeding in August? Many acres were pIowed up last season and treated in a similar manner with the result that after lining, fertilizing and reseeding they are producing from two to four tons of hay per acre where formerly they produced only a half ton. With hay selling from $20 to S25. what better investment of time and labor and money can be made than the renovation of our old hayfelds Better still if possible, hayfields should be worked into the rotation where they cannot be reseeded with satisfactory results. The first seasons crop should then more than pay for the entire cost of renovation.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
JOHN HILL OF NORWICH
 MADE HIGHEST 6
In Third Annual Cattle Judging Con
 test at Storrs.

In Third Annual Cattle Judging Con-
 test at storrs.
 In the spring, late in May or early in June an annual cattle judging con test is held at the Connecticut AgricuI- tural College to give actual judging experience to students having had such courses in the College or School of Az riculture, and it is an interesting climax to the work. It is made all the more attractive by an offering of bull calves to tho winners by breeders in the state. The high quality of the bulls offered made a premium most fortunate to the winner.
 John Hill of Norwich made the high est total score in the contest this year. The total score is obtained by adding the grade for placing the animals, and the reasons in support of the placing for each class and tOtaling the score for all classes. Seven classes were judged; viz: one of Ayrshires and two each of Guernseys, Hoisteins and Jerseys. This year the sweepstakes man had a choice of bulls. They were offered by Gardiner Hall Co.,, South Willington (Holstein), E. R. Dunn, Southington (Jersey), and Hugh J. Chisholm, Port Chester, N. Y. (Ayr- shire). No sWeepstake Guernsey was offered. The Holstein bull, whose dam has recently made 28 lbs of butter in a week, was selected by MT. Hill. MT. Hill has Holsteins on his home farm.
 E. w. Whitman of Kensington made the highest score in judging Ayrshires and won the bull offered by Wilson H Lee, Orange. Conn, for first prize
 F. P. Miller of Waterbury made the highest score in judging Guernseys. No bull was offered for this place.
 D. H. Foote of Colchester made the highest score in Holsteins and won the bull offered by Wn. J. and Percy At chison of CfayIordsvilIe
 John Hill made the highest score in Jerseys. but in winning the sweep stakes the prize went to the man SCOT ing next highest in this breed. L. D. Minor of Bristol won the bull, there fore, offered by E. T. Bedford, Greens Farms, Conn.
 There were twenty-four men in the contest. c. H. Savage. a breeder near Storrs and Karl B. Musser. Extension Dairymen, ofhciated as judges. The prizes are very valuable and were eag- erly contested for.

MELON LICE.
Full Directions for Fighting Pest
 Bent Shank Nozzle Needed.

Several report that lice are very plentiful on their melon vines The following is taken from bulletin 174 of the Illinois experiment station: This experiment station has had ex- perience in combating melon lice for the past 12 years. A number of the more important materials recom- mended for the control of this insect have been used, but none of them has given as satisfactory results as a com mercial preparation of nicotine sul- phate, known as "bIack leaf 40" which has been thoroughly tested for three seasons.
 This material will not injure the melon foliage when used as strong as one part to 250 of water. One part to soc or 500 of water is to all appear ances as effective, and should be used when particularly quick results are desired. One part to 1000 of water will prove practically as effective, and is recommended for use in cOmmer- ciaI practice. In the tests from which these conclusions are drawn, bar rel pump, equipped with lead of hose, bamboo rod and nozzle with bent used for making the applications. Any outfit capable of throwing a fine spray with reasonable force may be used with equal success.
 "The type of nozzle used is an i'm portant matter in treating melon lice. It should have a bent shank so that the undersurfaCes of the leaves may be reached; and it should have s9 fine cap in order that the materi.S 6 may re distributed as a, very fine mist. A single verm0reI nozzle will be found better adapted to this purpose than some other nozzles for the reason that it throws a finer mist near the open ing In applying the spray, high pressure should be used and the nOz- gle should be carefully moved about under and between the leaves With due care in handling the nozzle, it is possible to reach tn eundersurfaces of practically every leaf on the plants. ''BIack Leaf 40" solution is apparently so destructive to the lice that the finest mist, coming in contact with their bodies, is capable of killing them.
 Tt will be found easiest to apply the spray to melon ard cucumber vines that have been rOwed.' This operation consists simply in turning the shoots during the growing season so that they will run in the direction of the rows, and, as described in a previous publication of this station, Is highly advisable for purposes of weed killing and moisture retention. It Is feasible, however, to treat melon vines that have not been 'rowed,' though more time and material would be re- C11irad ''

 My general retired with his escort to where our troops were and the American commander returned to his troops The American commander as- sembled his cavalry and advanced them in firing line against our forces, composed of the Second Third and Fourth squadrons of the Second reg iment who remained in extended line ment.
 Americans Opened Fire.
 "The Americans opened fire at a distance of eighty metres, to which our soldiers gallantry replied, joiA- ing the combat. The fight was in tense and lasted, for two hours in which our first line sustained the en- emy's fire with valor.
 Gomez Killed Early in Fight.
 General Gomez having been killed early in the fight, I assumed command and ordered the advance of the first squadron of the Second regiment against the right flank of the enemy and another squadron on the left. The movements were made promptly and with precision forcing the enemy to flee, a abandoning their dead, their horses ana arms. The enemy dead were twelve, and we captured p pris- oners.'

MEXICAN OFFICER
 REPORTS CARRIZAL FIGHT
Carranza's Official Organ Tells How
 the Trouble Began.

Dallas Texas, July 12.-E Pueblo, official organ of the Carranza govern ment, in it's issue of July 1 received here today printed the official report on the fight between Mexicans and American troops at Carrizal. The re- port comes from Lieutenant Colonel Genovevo Rivas, who took command of the Mexican troops after General Feliz Gomez was killed. The report was made to General Gonzales at Ju- arez, and sent by him to Mexico City. It follows:
 Looking For Gang of Bandits.
 q have the honor to report to you that on June 21. at a. nn., an Amer ican force composed of 80 or 100 men, appeared here. By order of General Felix G. Gomez I went out to confer with the commander of said force to learn the object of it's presence. He said that he was looking for gang of bandits that were in this vicinity.
 Determined to Push On.
 q told him there was no gang of bandits operating in this district, due to the perfect watchfUlness of the con- stitutionalist forces. He then said that he was going to Villa Ahumada to look for a, deserter to which I re- piled that we had orders not to per- init American troops to move in any direction except toward the north. He replied that such orders mattered nothing to him. that he had orders to go to Villa Ahumada and that he would do so regardless of our bull lets.
 Goeez Proposed a Wait.
 After I lad reported the result of the interview General Gomez person. ally went to talk with the American commander. asking the same questions I had asked few minutes beforer and receiving the same answer. Gen eraI Gogez told him that he would re- gret very much to be obliged to oppose the Americans with force and made him the proposition that he wait three or four hours until the matter could be put before the military commander at Juarez.

BORDER DISPUTES
 FOR COMMISSION
(continued from Page one)

Continued from Page One) manent relief of border conditions. A formal announcement is expected soon.
 Whether the question submitted to commission will follow the definition of the matters in dispute laid down in General Carranza's latest note is not known, though Secretary Lansing's re- ply apparently accepted that def1ni- tion. The Mexican note said the req sonable anxiety of the United States on the one hand over the security of it's borders, and the feeling of the de facto government on the other that the continued presence of American troops in Mexicp menaced freindIy relations, constituted the problem to which a solution must be found.
 There are no present indications that a commission would go into ques- tions dependent upon these main is sues but not directly involved in a settlement.

In the laying contest at Storrs the monthly awards for June were all won by White LeghOTns. P. c. PIatt's pen from Wallingford, Pa, won the blue ribbon or first prize with a production of z54 eggs w. F. Atkinson's pen with 237 eggs, while Francis F. Lin coln's pen from Mt. Carmel, Conn, and Harry Williams pen from Bridgeport Conn, tied for third each having laid Z35 eggs for the month. Thus it will be noted that Connecticut breeders furnished three of the four best pens. In the thirty sixth week, all pens taken together laid a total of 4,062 eggs, a gain of 100 over the COrre- spend week last year. F. R. Hancock s LeghOrnS from Jacksonville, Vt, won first place with 57 eggs to their credit P. c. PIatt's pen mentioned above as winners of the blue ribbon for the month of June were second with 56 eggs, a good start for the July ribbon A pen of Barred Rocks entered by Mendelay Poultry Yards, Springfield, Ohio, two pens of White Leghorns. owned by Hampton Institute, Hamp- ton, Va, and Alargereta Poultry Farm, Rocky River, Ohio, all tied for third place with 5 eggs each.
 White WyanGOtte hen No. PAS laid twenty eggs during June but only four of these could be credited to the pen as sixteen of them were soft shelIed and therefore unmarketabIe. In the first nine days of July this hen laid eight eggs every one of which was un- marketable. In consequence she has been disqualified as unfit to continue in the contest and a substitute has taken her place.
