EARLY SPRAYING OF
THE ORCHARD IS URGED
T. B. SYMONs,
Maryland Agricultural College.

The man who wins in the orchard
for the harvest In the early spring.
Trees should be pruned properly, and
all dead wood and brush removed
from the orchard. Both apple and
peach orchards should be sprayed with
the concentrated lime sulphur at a
dilution of one part Of the solution to
nine parts Of water. Growers can buy
this material and make 1t themselves
using 100 pounds sulphur and so
pounds stone lime. So gallons water
and boil for one hour. The home
made solution had better be diluted at
the rate of one to seven or eight parts
of water.
The above treatment will control the
San Jose Scale. and aid in preventing
leaf curl, a disease especially bad on
the liberia variety of peaches. All
spraying apparatus should be gone
over and put in good shape for work.
1t Is expensive to stop work in the
field to fix up parts or mend hose, etc.
Be sure that the spraying is done
thorough, that ia all parts of the trees
should be hit especially the terminal
twigs for it Is on the tender wood that
the scale settles. Trees can be
sprayed with this dormant solution
until the buds begin to swell.
Small Orchards.
1t is the small growers that some
times neglects this treatment. There
are many home orchards in the state
that are not producing a revenue.
Now is the time to make their fruit
good by first giving them a severe
pruning and good spraying. In many
places, such as towns. a group of peo-
pie should get together and employ
some one to spray their trees. In this
way the work can be done more cheap
ly and satisfactorily, buy using a good
barrel pump, than if the individuals
attempt to do the work with small
pumps. Orchardists who have been
troubled with scab in apples should
prepare to spray with Bordeaux mix
ture just as the bloom shows pink
Persons desiring further information
should communicate with the Exten-
sion Service. College Park, Md.

Mrs. D. Edward Brown Dead.

II is our sad duty to record the
death of Mrs. Nellie Mari Brown,

heart failure. Early that morning

nurse were with her, and every
thing possible was done to save
her life but she grew weaker until
all was over.
The distressing news was a shock
to her many friends and kind
nelghbors among whom she was
much beloved. Never have we
seen more widespread grief for
the deceased and sympathy ex-
pressed for Mr.. Brown, who is
completely Frustrated by this sud-
den blow. Little Edward, three
years old, and the infant of a few
days, have been taken by Mr..
Brown S mother to her home at Mt
RAINIER, where they will be tender

Mrs. Brown was the adopted

gifted with beauty, vivacity and a
lovable disposition, she was a GEN
eral favorite, and at her marriage
to Mr.. B wn, about five wears
ago, she came to reside in our
town, and later they purchased
their comfortable home for which
many improvements were under
way, and which, by her industry
and ambition, she had made COSY
and attractive.

have occurred in our midst. moth

After a large portion of turnips had
been gathered. we turned our hogs on
the acre to feed on the balance of
turnips and clover. They remained
there until the first of April this
year. On Saturday. April 8. the
ground was plowed and rolled to pre-
serve the moisture. On Saturday.
April II, used a spring tooth harrow
on 1t, and afterward rolled it tight,
and this was done again on May and
May %. On Monday, May 81, we used
q levelling square drag and ran the
ground out with a tomato marker,
opening the cross rows about three
inches deep. The next morning 1 was
out bright and early and dropped the
corn by hand. putting three or four
grains to the hill, and planting the
hills thirty-six inches apart each way.
I covered the grain with . small. fine
toothed cultivator. I had to stay
home from school to do this work.
This was the only time that l missed
from school.
On June IL, the corn was dragged
with a spike-toothed harrow. The corn
was given thorough cultivation on
juno "a, July S, July 1s, and July 20.
I would have cultivated 1t again but
the storm. August 3. twisted 1t about
SO badly, that 1 could not get
through it.
1t was cut on August 30 and al
lowed to stand in the shock until
October 26. when 1t was husked, the
total weight being 1856 pounds. The
corn was not in the best condition,
being rotten on the tip from lying on
the ground. 1t was nearly all twin
corn, standing three to four stalks to
the hill.

EARLY MATCHED PULLETS MAKE
WINTER LAYERS.
Poultry Keepers Are Advised As To
Best Time And Methods of
Hatching.
ROY H. WAITE,

Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.
In order to get a flock of pullets
that will produce we'll il e.a + fail fl and
winter the chicks must be Matched
early enough 80 that they will have
time to mature. A partly matured
pullet cannot grow, keep warm. and
lay eggs in cold weather. TIL time
to get her matured is during t. ! nat
ural growing season when the wealth
er is most favorable.
The period required for maturity
varies with different breeds and it also
varies with the way the chickens are
cared for and fed. Two focks Of the
same breed, Matched at the same time,
may look very different when they are
a few months old Some focks under
favorable conditions may even mature
twice as quickly as others poorly cared
for.
Five or six months Is usually consid-
cred about the proper time to allow
for maturing the Leghorn varieties.
shorter period but it is not considered
good practice to force them too much.
The heavier breeds like the Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Is
land Reds, etc, require more time.
Six or seven months should be allowed
tremely large breeds like the Light
Brahmas an even longer time is re-
Quired.
Hatch In April.
White Leghorns Matched during
April will usually commence laying
few eggs about the first part Of Sep
TENDER and be laying in full blast"
in October. April is an ideal month
in which to hatch this breed for the
weather is usually such as to give the
chicks a good start and they mature
in time to hll in part of the gap be-
tween the moulting and the starting OF
the old hens to lay. White Leghorns
Matched even as late as June some
times begin laying about December
and June Matched Leghorns are usu-
ally considered successful.
March is considered an ideal month
for Matching the large breeds but II is
often difacult, especially to those on
farms, to have things in shape for
such early Matching. In any event
chickens should be Matched as early
as possible.

ROAD AS PART OF DEFENSE
SYSTEM

At the instance of the Anne
Arundel and Prince Georges
delegations. Senator Duvall has
introduced a joint resolution, pro-
viding for the construction of a
federal road, connecting the
Naval Academy with the Natio-
nal Capitol at Washington. The
resolution calls attention to the
fact that although the Maryland
representatives in Congress had
been asked to further the pro-
ject, no action had been taken.
The preamble then recites that
in these days when the whole
nation is more or less wrought
up over the state of "unpre-
paredness" of our country for
defense in case of war, it is of
the utmost Importance that a
grand highway or military and
naval road should be established
between the Naval Academy
and the government at Washing
ton as soon as possible under the
good roads system of Maryland.
There is already a state road
from Annapolis to Baltimore and
one from Baltimore to the nation
al capital and this "Old Stage
Road" line, if built, would COM
plete the triangle of the three
cities.
The delegations are urged to
act quickly 50 that this grand
highway or boulevard may be
quickly constructed for military
and naval purposes for the de-
Tense of Annapolis, Baltimore
and Washington in case of a
naval attack from the Chesa-
peake Bay, which lis practical
ly without Notifications. and
in time of war a public enemy
would first of all seek the de-
struction of these two points,
and over a hard surface road
with the improved method of
travel, assistance in time of
strife could be easily and quick
ly gotten for the protection of
either point"
