(From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Watermelon growers in various sec
tions of the country frequently suffer
loss from a disease which blights the
foliage and spots the fruit. The
leaves are covered with irregular dark,
dead spots and may die before the
melons are ripe. The trouble develops
on the fruit in the form Of water
soaked and later sunken spots of vary
ing sizes, which come to have a pink
center made up OF masses of the fun
gous spores. AS the disease progresses
the melons decay. This is anthracnose
and is caused by parasitic fungus re-
lated to those which produce the apple
bitter.rot and pod-spot of bean. The
fungus causing watermelon anthrac-
nose attacks cucumbers, cantaloupes
and squashes, but probably not as a
rule any other cultivated crops. Warm
and moist or rainy weather is especial
ly favorable to the spread and develop
ment of anthracnose, and for this rea-
son it was more prevalent than usual
last season. The losses were particu-
larly severe in some districts where
melons are grown on large scale for
carload shipments.
Spray With Bordeaux Mixture.
The department of agriculture has
found that the disease can be con-
trolled by spraying with bordeaux mix
ture, and trials of this treatment are
recommended. The methods to be en-
ployed are substantially those in use
fnr, rotatnes, cucnmhora. and.-othara
truck crops. The following points
should be observed to insure success
Use fresh homemade bordeaux mix
ture. In preparing 1t follow directions
exactly, as much depends on the way
the ingredients are combined. Use
good spray pump, operated at a pres
sure of 100 pounds or more. Spray
thoroughly The time of application
depends on the weather and the devel-
opment of the crop. The disease usual
ly appears when the fruit is nearly
grown. Watch carefully for the leaf

Cartagena, Spain, June 24.-The
German submarine U-35. which ar
rived in this port on Tuesday, sank
the French liner Provence in the Medl-
terranean a few months ago, with u
loss of more than 5000 lives, Comman-
der Arnault said before the vessel de-
parted.
Besides the Provence, 90 other An
glO-French ships have been sunk by
the U-35 in the Mediterranean, mem
bers of the crew said.
Madrid, via Paris, June "a. - The
German submarine U-3J arrived on
Wednesday at Cartagena. The officers
disembarked and left for Madrid with
confidential letter to King Al
fonsO.
The secretary of the German EN-
bassy at Madrid left Immediately for
Cartagena to receive an autograph let
ter from the German emperor to King
Alfonso, supposed to be thanks for u
reception given interned Germans from
Kamerun.
The submarine first anchored along
side the interned German steamship
Roma, but the port authorities re-
qulred her to move and take up
anchorage near the Spanish cruiser
Catalina.
The secretary of the German en-
bassy arrived at Cartagena on spe-
cial train to receive the letter. Ac-
companied by the German consul, he
went on board the submarine and Wis
tied the commander
The submarine departed from the
port shortly before daylight.
The newspaper Pals says the diplO-
matte Representatives of certain for
eign countries have asked the Span
ish government for further particu-
lars in regard to the visit of the
U-35.
London, June PA news agency
dispatch from Cartagena says the Ger
man submarine U-35 left that port at
three O'clock in the morning, travelling
In an easterly direction. In addition to
the autograph letter from Emperor
William to King Alfonso the subma-
rine brought hospital stores for the
Germans interned in Spain.
The commander OF the submarine is
quoted as having said he had destroyed
80 ships, including the French liner
Provence, which was sunk in the Medi-
terranean last February, while serving
as a transport, with the loss of several
hundred lives.
AS the U-35 left Cartagena her crew
gave cheers for Spain. The vessel
was accompanied heyond Spanish wa
tiers by Spanish destroyers, as it was
reported allied warships were waiting
for her.
Newspapers of Madrid stated last
month that King Alfonso might ini-
tiate peace negotiations in the near
future. The king entertained the
Greek ambassador to Spain at dinner
a fortnight ago, and few days be-
fore the dinner Emperor William re-
ceived the Spanish ambassador to
Germany.

Ruffed Grouse
(Bonasa umbeIIus)

Length, seventeen inches. The broad
black band near tip of tail distin.
guishes this from other grouse.
Range: Resident in the northern
two-thirds of the United States and
in the forested parts of Canada.
Habits and economic status: The
ruffed grouse, the famed drummer and
finest game bird of the northern
woods, is usually wild and wary and
under reasonable protection we'll with
stands the attacks of hunters. More
over, when reduced in numbers, II
responds to protection in gratifying
manner and has proved to be we'll
adapted to propagation under artificial
conditions. Wild fruits, mast, and
browse make up the bulk of the vege-
table food of this species. 1t is very
fond Of hazelnuts, beechnuts, chest
nuts, and acorns, and 1t eats practical
ly all kinds of wild berries and other
fruits. Nearly 60 kinds of fruits have
been identified from the stomach con-
tents examined. Various weed seeds
also are consumed. Slightly more
than 10 per cent of the food consists
of insects, about half beetles. The
most important pests devoured are
the potato beetle, clover-root weevil,

In any case, make an application two
weeks before maturity and second q
week later
Homemade Bordeaux Mixture.
Ingredients: Copper sulphate,
pounds; quicklime, pounds; water to
make so gallons.
Prepare the copper sulphate by sus-
pending it in a gunnysack just below
the surface of several gallons of water
in clean barrel. When the sulphate
is dissolved, which requires three or
four hours, remove the sack and stir
into the barrel enough additional wa
ter to make exactly 25 gallons of the
copper solution
Prepare the lime by slaking it slow
~ and thoroughly in q clean barrel,
strain and add enough water to make
exactly rs gallons of lime milk. Stir
thoroughly.
Pour the two ingredients together
into another barrel, or better, directly
into the spray tank, If it will hold so
gallons. 1t is highly important to stir
the mixture very thoroughly and to
strain both ingredients before they are
combined, as otherwise clogging of the
spray nozzles might result. Use cop
per or bronze wire strainer Of 18
meshes to the inch. Do not put cop
per sulphate or Bordeaux mixture into
tin or iron vessels; use wood or cop
per containers. Mix the Bordeaux as
needed and apply at once. It is never
so good after it has settled.
Stock Solutions.
Everyone who uses bordeaux mix
ture frequently and in quantity will
find It convenient to keep concen-
trated stock solutions on hand, as
these keep indefinitely IL the water
which evaporates is replaced.
Build an elevated platform to hold
the barrels. Suspend so pounds Of cop
per sulphate to dissolve in 60gallon
