Spraying Peaches.

Wherever the blossom buds OF the
peach have been killed by winter in
jury to such an extent that there are
only enough buds alive for crop, 1t Is
suggested by the horticultural depart
ment of the New Jersey agricultural
experiment station that growers give
special attention to the control of the
plum curculio. This insect appears at
about the time the trees begin to
bloom and feeds on the young leaves.
The curculio does very little or no
damage to the young fruit until the
calyces are shedding, when egg laying
begins. By spraying the trees just as
the petals have fallen from the bios
SONS many insects are killed before
they deposit the eggs, and the danger
of later injury is considerably reduced.
A spray consisting Of three pounds OF
arsenate of lead paste or one and three
quarters pounds Of the powder to fifty
gallons of water applied at the fall of
the petals Is recommended. Where the
set Of fruit is very light second
spraying of arsenate of lead. common
~ combined with the self boiled lime
sulphur, should be made just as the
"shucks" or calyces are being shed
from the fruits.

FERN WEEDS IN PASTURES.
Detriment to Grazing Of Live Stock
and Should Be Controlled.

Detriment to Grazing Of Live Stock
and Should Be Controlled.
Prepared by United States department of
agricultural
The presence Of the hay scented fern
and the brake fern in pastures in the
eastern United States is a serious det-
riment to the grazing of live stock,
which is a prominent feature in farm
ing in that section. The department Of
agriculture recommends the following
means Of reducing these pasture vast
ing pests:
Cut the fern with a scythe in the
middle of June just as the spores are
beginning to mature and repeat the
cutting about the middle Of August,
before the second crop of spores has
a chance to spread. AS soon as the cut
ferns are dry burn them over to lessen
the vitality Of the root stocks.
After the cutting and burning the
land can be seeded with pasture grass
and clover A better stand will be OBJ
tanned If lime or lime and fertilizer are
applied in addition to the seed.
A second method is to spray the fern
growth with salt and water distributed
| with hand bucket pump or a KNAPP
| sack sprayer. When the field is so To-
Gated that water for spraying is not
easily accessible the cutting is prob
ably easier. With ferns of an average
degree Of thickness, man with a
knapsack sprayer ought to cover about
five acres a day. The salt is used at
the rate Of one pound to about one and
one-half quarts Of water, and $50
pounds of salt ought to be enough to
spray the average acre infested with
ferns, which seldom cover more than
one-third of the ground. If five acres
are covered per day, with labor at
$3.50, the total cost of spraying Is
about $1.O5 per acre for each applica
ton, exclusive of the cost Of hauling.
Two sprayings a year, just previous
to sporting, about the middle Of June
and the middle of August, are neces
sary. Burn over as soon as they have
dried up. AS the use of the salt spray
is something of detriment to thu
growth Of young clover, efforts to en-
courage clover to work into the patches
and help choke them down should b.
deferred until after the August spray
ing.
After the ferns have been reduced t
minimum the specific treatment
may be discontinued, at least until the,
again become troublesome. 1t is prob
ably not practicable to entirely erad1
. cate ferns. The immediate reduction
of the number Of ferns, however, wi
give the grass and clover opportunit
to work in, and this In itself will ten
to hold the ferns in check. Cultivation
on the other hand, where tried seem
not to be effective, as the ferns wor
in again sooner or later even wher
the patch is used for potato CROWN
for year.
The actual experiments were mad
with the hay scented fern, but the r
suits are believed to be fully as e
fective in the treatment Of the bral
in the eastern states.

OLD AND new FARMING.
Organization of q National Agrieu'-
tural Society Marks an Epoch.

Organization Of q National Agricu'-
tural Society Marks an Epoch.
Going to the city of New York to or
ganize a national agricultural society
and holding the meeting in smart
hotel may strike surviving members
Of the old Society Of Changers with
surprise, but the farmer has been
such a progressive in things pertaining
to his business that he has lost that
sense of exclusiveness which once in
f1uenced his thinking concerning great
centers Of population, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Still, in the
mass the farmer is not nearly as pro-
gressive as he can and will be made,
according to former Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, who was elected as
first president of the National Agricul-
tural society. Mr.. Wilson knows about
all that can be known Of practical
farming under both old and new condi-
lions, and his address at the New York
meeting shows him highly capable of
doing the thinking needed to fit the
majority of farmers to present cond1-
! tons and prepare them for new condi-
lions Of the future. Pointing out that
continuing improvement in environ
ment and living conditions Of all class
es is necessitating larger incomes for
all those dependent upon returns for
labor, he insisted that the inevitable
increase in labor cost in all industrial
lines must be met by greater efficiency
toward increasing the capacity of labor
for the production Of larger product
and for the avoidance Of waste both of
labor and material. By this means In.
creased production can be made to
more than offset its increased cost
Agriculture" he said, "is the greatest
productive industry, the fundamental
industry and practically the one upon
which all others are based. Great adj
vances have been made In this pri
mary industry and in some sections
have been effective, but the great mass
of agricultural production is as yet un
moved. The new generation in thai
field wants to get the best and latest
This society will seek to coordinate
all that is being done and bring /
closer to the individual farmer" Whel
this work is well done the problem o
how we are to stop the rush from farm
to city will have been solved, and tina
solution will carry with it the solution
. Of some economic and social problem
! beginning to disturb city life.

Spring Apple Spraying.

As result of the field experiments
In spraying apple orchards the Uni
versity of Illinois agriculture expert
ment station recommends that the first
summer application be made after the
cluster buds open, as soon as the In
dividual flower buds spread apart, but
before the flower buds themselves
open. Spraying may be continued un-
til the petals have commenced to sep
arate. but should be discontinued as
soon as the stamens and pistils Of the
flowers are exposed. This spray Is
for the apple scab and to kill the vari-
GUS leaf eating insects which appear

AMUSEMENT COMPANY

age from the public. and crowds OF
people are attracted to the show
grounds, at the rear of the Grande
hotel on Water street. nightly. The
entertainments accorded by the co1is-
pany are diversified enough to suit
all tastes and are clean and well con
dncted. There is nothing objection
able about any of them and much to
commend in the way of good. whole
some fun. The ambition of the Sou
thern Amusement company is to eli
inmate from its program everything
that is immoral and debasing and PRO-
vide its patrons with pleasing. high
cless diversion. 1t is one of the
best carnival organization. that has
visited Canon City in several years
and supplies pleasure-seekers with a
variety of entertainment seldom
found in such aggregations.
The Merry-Go-Round. which is tho
best Canon City children have had an
opportunity to ride upon. being of the
new three-abreast style, is attracting
big crowds.
The Ferris Wheel is getting its full
quota and more. THE Days OF 49,.
which is a reproduction of a western
dance hall Of the old days, is certainly
what 1t represents. MIR. Brown Who
has charge of this show says that It
has had a remarkably successful run
ever since it started on the road.
The concessions are of a much
higher order than is usually seen with
the organizations that date Canon
