PACE FIVE

credit, the Pennington High School
boys determined not to be outdone.
For the second time this year the boys
were working the passing game to
the limit. Individual play was for
gotten and team work substituted. 1t
worked perfectly, as the score of 81
to 26 shows. Pennington has no stars
but the work of Johns at center, who
in addition to shooting many goals
himself has held his opponent during
the last two games to a no-score,
shows consistency. One other player
deserves mention here. Grow at for
ward, while not scoring many goals
himself, yet by his quick, heady think
ing on the floor and his deadly accu-
racy as a passer, made it possible for
the other fellow to score in many in
stances.
We are glad you won, Pennington
High School boys and girls. Rumor
has it that Pennington plays Ste.
Genevieve next Saturday night. Shall
we not look for another victory?

POISON SPRAY FOR
THE YOUNG BORERS
Common Chemical May Be Used
to Advantage in Destroying
Insects on Trees.

Common spray chemical may be
used to great advantage on the trunks
of trees at definite periods for borers.
When the trunk is kept we'll covered
with thin film of poison, the young
borer, soon after Matching, will eat OF
this upon entering the bark, and his
first meal will end him at once. AS the
period of Matching extends over sew
eral months, during which time the
bark on the trunks cracks from the
expansion beneath it due to growth,
the application of poison must be made
more frequently.
Before June l or as early thereafter
as possible, make thorough search
of all trees for borers. Apple-tree
borers are usually found above ground
and these are best destroyed by in
jecting a few drops of carbon bisul-
phate into their tunnels and plugging
them tight with soft clay or putty.
Remove the earth to the depth of four
to six inches about peach trees and
cut out all borers possible with the
pruning knife.
After thus removing all borers that
can be found spray or paint the trunks
of the trees with a mixture of eight
to ten pounds lead arsenate paste and
so gallons OF dilute lime-sulphur solu'
ton, one part to four or five of water.
Mound the earth about the trees to
the height of six or eight inches. Re-
peat the application about the middle
of July and again in the middle of Au'
gust. This application is preventive
measure and not a remedy for the bor'
ers already in the tree.

NECESSARY WORK IN
GARDEN AND ORCHARD
Growing Fruits Depend Largely
Upon Bees to Help Distribute
Pollen Among Trees.

Horticulture and agriculture are very
closely related. Growing fruits de-
pends very largely upon bees to help
distribute pollen from one tree to an
other and not leave every flower de-
pendent upon it's pollen or fertiliza-
ton. Then the flowers of fruit trees
and the cover crops in the orchard
provide honey for the bees.
We are as farmers beginning to ap-
preciate the interrelation Of the Var1'
Gus divisions of agriculture and are
therefore making better use of our op-
portunities as farmers.
Taking flowers for instance. They
beautify the home grounds, provide
honey for bees and give the mother
and daughters outdoor exercise, ex-
perience with plants and love for
the ethical and beautiful. This makes
the keeper of the home better COM
panion, which of course encourages
the farm manager to do his best farm
ing.
The garden and the orchard teach
very valuable lessons in intensive
cultivation. In the garden, the or
chard and the flower beds one sees
the advantages and opportunities fol
using manure; application of ferti
lizer; mulching, intensive tillage; Sc
lection, training of plants and many
other things that might not be oh
served in the field.

est cotton-consuming nations in the
world. Probably the consumption of
cotton goods depends more on mere
numbers of the population than is the
case with any other manufactured ar
ticle. Very little is worn but that lit
tie is cotton. The amount of cotton
goods required to clothe the countless
millions in Asia is almOs: beyond be-
lief.
This vast demand for manufactured
cotton goods for decades was supplied
almost entirely from England, though
the raw material was all raised in
America. Later the United States be-
gan manufacturing on a large scale
and began to export to the East as did
Germany and other European coun-
tries. Then, just recently, the jap
anese began to manufacture the cheap
er goods, and, with very cheap labor
and new machinery, they began to cut
into the Chinese trade. Now the
more progressive element in China are
going to take a hand themselves. They
are raising quite a lot of cotton in
China suitable for the cheaper grades
/ of goods, and as labor costs little they
have entered the field as manufactur-
ers, too.
The government of China decided
to assist in establishing the industry
by furnishing capital up to about 40
per cent in the mills, and directing
to a certain extent the policy Of the
mills. Commercial Attache Arnold
who was following developments close
ly, got wind Of the governments in
tention of putting up two cotton mills

can firms who manufacture cotton-spin

of Agriculture)
Spray the apple trees Immediately
after the blossoms or petals fall in
order to fill each little calyx cup or
cavity with poison. About three
fourths of the codling moth worms
which hatch from eggs three or four
weeks later enter the apples through
this cavity. If we succeed in putting
a few grains of arsenic in each little
caIyx cup the first meal the apple
worm takes will be it's last one.
Since the calyx cups stand wide
open for only a week or ten days, the
spray must be applied within this time
in order to be effective.
What to Use.
Commercial lime sulphur at the rate
of IL gallons to so gallons Of water
and arsenate of lead paste at the rate
of 2 or 214 pounds to each so gallons
of spray mixture should be used.
The trees should not be sprayed
while in full bloom. Such work would
interfere with pollination, without
which fruit cannot set, and destroy the
fruit growers best friend, the honey
bee. It is safe to spray when two
thirds of the petals have fallen, be-
cause the flow of nectar has practically
stopped and few, If any, bees will be
injured.
This should be the most thorough
and drenching spray of the season. A

NEW INDUSTRY is BORN
War Causes Production Of Potash
in United States.
Attention Turned to Possible Sources
Of Supply When Imports From
Europe Are Almost Entirely
Cut of.

Uncle Sam, in a bulletin issued by
he geological survey, describes what
ie terms the birth of new indus
Nv" The bulletin gives a review OF
he developments in the potash indus
nv in the United States during 1919
With the cutting off of the greater
,art of the supply of potash salts by
he European war, attention was
urned to various possible sources OF
potash in this country, and the re-
cults are seen in the report that pot
,sh salts to the value of $4,000 were
Produced in the United States in 1915.
The imports during the same perlod
we're only about one-tenth OF those
lnder normal conditions.
The survey states that potash was
ecovered as a by-product from the
manufacture of Portland cement at
riverside, Cal, and other cement
manufacturers are reported to be in
,talling plants for the recovery OF this
9y-product.
A new plant at Holland, Neb, OBJ
aimed potash salts from the brine OF
m alkaline lake in that region and
potash was marketed during the year
from kelp obtained along the PACING
coast.
Experimental work on the produc-
ion of potash salts from dlnerent
sources was active during the year
md in places this activity has been
succeeded by the construction oI
oIants. Operations are in progress at
Searles lake and at Keeler, on the
shores of Owens Lake, Cal. 1t is re-
ported that one company is erecting
a plant near Great Salt Lake, and that
another will soon be started at the
south end of the lake.
Great activity has been manifested
in experiments for the recovery Of
potash from the silicate rocks, such
as feldspar and leucite, from the mica
sericite, and from greensand. In many
laboratories researches have been II
progress, some of which, according tt
reports, offer prospects Of profitable
commercial development if feldspar'
and other potash-rich rocks in suffl
cient quantity and purity can be found
and made available.
A small quantity of potash salts wal
probably produced from these silicat'
rocks and minerals during 1915, ant
found its way into mixed fertilizer
! without intermediate refinement.

vegetable in the water and then throws
that away, retaining the mere waste

Mustard Greens.-Wash the mustard
leaves and put them on to cook with
no water, adding as little as possible,
to keep from scorching. If the green's
are cut in shreds before being put on
to cook they will cook quicker. Sprin-

Sh! Here's a Secret;
Uncle Sam Makes Nearly
All of His Own Shirts

Uncle Sam never was accused of
being a Sissy" or an "old woman"
but-here's a secret-he makes nearly
all his own shirts, and not only that,
he's so economical that he makes
practically all the collars that he
wears.
The bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce,
has just completed a study of the shirt
and collar industry, which reveals that
the American manufacturers have the
home market pretty much to them
selves, with very little foreign compe-
tition to fight.
The largest import of collars and
cuffs for any one year was $4,000 in
1918, while the total production of
these articles as far back as 1909 was
$17,200,000. The present output is
much greater, but no statistics are
available. The total value of the
shirts produced in this country in 1909
was $82, 900, compared with which
the imports are insignificant.
Separate collars for mems shirts
are said to have been first made about
1925 by the wife of blacksmith in
Troy, N. Y. This woman did the fam
lily washing and ironing and realized
that shirts with separate collars
would not have to be washed as often
as did shirts with collars attached.
She applied the idea not only by max
ing separate collars for her husbands S
shirts, but by making them also for
sale. This innovation attracted the at
tention of Rev. EbeneZer Brown, re-
tired Methodist minister, who kept a
small dry goods store in Troy With
the aid of the female members of his
own family, Rev. Brown, about 1929
began offering string collars" fol
sale and soon developed a profitable
| new branch of his business. The de
mand for "store" collars increased
and during the thirties and forties
several companies were formed tc
carry on the manufacture of separate
collars, cuffs and shirt bosoms. The
collar and cuff industry has been cen
tered in Troy from the first. In 1909
S0.46 per cent of the collars and cuffs
manufactured in the whole country
was manufactured in that city.
The manufacture Of shirts was
founded as a systematic industry il
1882 in New York, and in 1909 thai
city manufactured 27.74 per cent O.
the total output of the country. Troy
and Albany produced S.S5 per cent
Philadelphia 1858 per cent, Baltimore
S.53 per cent and St. Louis 4.07 pc,
cent. New York state and Pennsyl
vania produced more than half thu
shirts made in the country.

Potash In Banana stalks.

Uncle Sam announces that Ameri-
can Consul Byington at Leeds, Eng
land, in dispatch to the department
of commerce, says that the discovery
has been made by scientist there
that large quantities of potash can be
obtained from dried banana stalks
heretofore considered valueless. The
discovery was made by E. E. Lawson
of Leeds. An analysis confirmed the
statement that 499 per cent of the
dried stalks is potash.
