WILT RESISTANT CABBAGE ls

C. E. TEMPLE.
Maryland Agricultural College.

FOR ten years, Mr., T. H. White, Of
the Maryland Experiment Station, has
been dsvoting a part Of his time TO
the production Of a variety Of cab
bage that would be resistant to GER
tain destructive diseases. He has de-
veioped q strain of the Flat Dutch
type which is resistant to the yellows.
this being one of the worst diseases
of this cabbage plant.
The Extension Service of the Mary
land Agricultural College in eo-opera-
ton with the u s. Department of
Agriculture. has arranged to conduct
some demonstrations to show the
value Of this improved seed and to
distribute it over the State. In order
10 secure a demonstration, the grower
must agree to set the plants from the
resistant seed In the same field with
plants from commercial seed. and II
possible. a field that had grown cab
bage last year should be selected He
must also agree to keep record of
the Yield of both the resistant and the
commercial seed and to permit the
public to visit the plots.
Applications for these demonstra-
tions should be made to the County
Agent or to the Director OF the Ex-
tension Service. College Park. Nd

DAMAGE FROM PLANT LICE
SHOULD BE PREVENTED.
q. N. CORY,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Plant lice (aphids) attack every
growing crop, but the insects are so
small aAd their attacks SO insidious
that they are usually overlooked until
most of the damage is done. Curling
of leaves and the whiting of terminal
leaves and shoots is generally indi-
cative Of plant lice infestations.
Tobacco extracts must be couHted
upon as the best summer contract
sprays for general use on sucking In
sects, such as orchard and truck crop
plant lice. whose control offers one Of
the greatest problems With which the
growers have to contend.
There are three orchard plant lice
that are of major importance TO Mary
land; namely. the green aphis, which
usually infest new growth rather late
In the season; the rosy apple aphis.
so called because Of It's reddish hue,
which infest fruit buds, and the oat
aphis, which is usually found around
the swelling buds and which appears
before either OF the others. The
rapidlty with which these pests multi
ply necessitates prompt measures for
their suppression.
Orchards that are sprayed extreme
ly late In the spring are usually kept
practically free of the ost and rosy
aphis by this dormant spray, because
there are usually sufiicient warm days
in the spring to hatch aphis eggs be
fore 1t is too late to spray. Spraying
in the spring as late as practical is
recommended. II late lime sulphur
applications are not practical, the
grower should use a separate spray of
BLACK Leaf to." at the rate Of three
quarters Of a pint to 100 gallons of
water, to which has been added three
.ifths of a pound Of sea9 This mix
ture will cost about t1.1B per 100 gal
Ions. This should be applied whom the
aphids have clustered on the expanded
buds. II later applications are neees-
sary, due to the later Matching OF eggs
of the rosy and green sphids. the
BLACK Leaf 40" may be combined with
the eodiinE moth spray, but soap
should be omitted in lime sulphur
combinations as 1t forms an insoluble
soap that will clog the nozzles.

In Securing Clean Fruit.


When there is an over.production oi
peaches. the men who take good care
Of their orchards usually make some
money In spite Of the low prices. fof
in such seasons only the best peaches
can be marketed; on the other hand.
when there is less than a normal crop
OF peaches, the men who care well fol
their trees reap . rich harvest. for they
produce. not only more perfect fruit.
but also more Of II than those who
neglect the care Of their trees. In the
year 1915, there was an over-productton
of peaches In almost all peach-grow'
ing sections of ;e country and many
peach growers lost money on their
crep, but there i5 sufficient evidence
now al hand to show that the present
year is going to produce a light crop;
at least In some sections Of Maryland.
This, coupled with the fact that the
past season was especially favor
able to the development Of Brown Rot
and Scab, II would seem that the pres
emit season will be an opportuns time
to do effective, profitable spraying.
1t is with considerable satisfaction
that we find practically all growers
giving their peach trees the dormant
spraying for scale and leaf curl; how
ever. 1t is to be regretted that we find
so few who realize the value or who
have demonstrated the effectiveness OF
the self-boiled lime sulphur summer
spraying for brown rot and scab. II is
for those, then. who are not familiar
with the summer treatment that this
article is prepared.
At least three az 9lications Of self
boiled lime sulphur $3.50 should be
given. One pound c. powdered arsen-
ate Of lead or two pounds Of the paste
should be dissolved in water and add,
ed to the above for the first spraying
when the shucks are splitting on, and
for the second spraying which should
be three weeks later. When only three
spraying are given. the third should
be made about month before the fruit
ripens. Wherever brown rot or seab
is severe, other sprayings may be
necessary to control the disease.
But the chemicals used are not ex,
pensiye. For the three sprayings as
outlined here, the chemicals will cost
between $500 and $500 per hundred
trees.

HOW OFTEN TO APPLY LIME.

The quantity OF lime applied varies
considerably in the various sections
and at various times. This has prob
ably been due In a large measure to
the cost of lime and the relative dis
tanee 1t must be hauled. Recent OBJ
seryations seem to Indicate that 1t if
better to apply small quantities and
make the applications at frequent in.
tervals rather than to apply very large
quantities at one time. The old prae
tice Of putting ZOE bushels or more per
acre is seldom practiced now. The
kind Of soil to which the application
is made makes II necessary to vary
the quantity. It is now pretty well
recognised that on poor soils and OF
saady soils, the quantity applied a
one time should be small. The results

SOY BEANS FURNISH

Well Adapted To Maryland Soils And
Especially Valuable For Forage.
NICHOLAS sciIMITz,

Soy beans are ven adapted 70
Maryland. and, like corn, thrive best
on rich loan soils It is, however. on
soils too poor to grow corn probably
that soy beans viii bring the greatest
net pront On such soils. when inocu-
lated and tersiiized with little mex
pensiye fertilizer. they VIII produce
nearly as much forage and seed as
when grown on rich land. They will
not grow as well as COW peas on poor
sandy soils, but far better than COW
peas on stiff clay soils. They will
stand poor drainage better than either
COW peas or corn.
Soy beans mature in from 10 to 150
days. making It possible to select va.

They require the same kind Of prep

the case Of corn, It Is better to thor
oughly prepare the seedbed before

tion Tor getting the soil in the proper

For seed production, soy beans
should be sown in rows "A TO SO inches

colt movement was launched in over a
score of upstate cities today in re-
Spouse to proclamations issued by their
respective mayors. The boycott was
declared to be virtually statewide and
according to a telegram from w F.
Capes. secretary of the New York state
conference of mayors, more cities will
follow the example of the twenty-four
cities in which a boycott Is already in
effect.
Storage eggs in this city yesterday
dropped another cent a dozen under the
attack of the housewives and additional
reductions in the near future are antici-
pated. Some dealers offered cold stor-
age eggs at 80 cents dozen at retail,
which was the price officials announced
as their goal when the boycott was
first instituted. The order of John d.
Dillon, state commissioner of foods and
markets that egg dealers stamp cold
storage eggs as such is being generally
complied with, Mr.. Dillon said.

Hoke Smith Says He
VIII Back Any Measure
Aimed at Liquor Trade

WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.--Senator Hoke
Smith today declared unqualifiedly for
prohibition in any and every form it may
be presented to congress at this session.
He added also that he proposes to urge
favorable action on his bill denying the
use of the mails for the circulation of
whisky and beer advertisements and the
solicitation of orders. The bill was in
troduced at the last session.
81 believe, moreover. that the federal
laws that seek to restrict the shipment
of whisky in interstate commerce into
dry territory should be strengthened
and more rigidly enforced" said the SEN
ator. 81 may introduce a bill broadly
excluding from interstate commerce
shipments of intoxicating liquors de-
signed for prohibition territory. I be-
lieve that is the best way to suppress
the traffic pending nationwide prohi-
bition.
81 intend to vote for prohibition in
the District of Columbia at this session
If the opportunity offers and I will sup
port all other prohibitory legislation
also"
