NOTED IRISH LECTURER COMING.
seumas MacManus to Speak wednes-
day Night In K. of c. Hall.

Seumas MacManus, the well-known
irish writer and lecturer, has chosen
from among his subjects, The Glories,
the Sorrows, and the Hopes of Ireland
for lecture in knights of Columbus
hall Wednesday evening of this week,
under the auspices of the knights of
Columbus. Mr.. MacManus s lecture not
only vii give view of the wonderful
Ireland of those far-away ages when
Ireland was the light of the West, but
Will also lead down the terrible cen,
turtles of tribulation and sorrow that
Erin suffered when fire and sword and
English penal laws strove to wipe out
the Irish nation.
Ireland has waged against England
war of independence which has lasted
INCREASINGLY for 700 years. There is not
on the face of the earth parallel for
the gigantic struggle of centuries that
this little nation has carried on against
another nation, even while that other
was the greatest and most powerful
empire the world ever knew. And to-
| day-Seumas MacManus tells us-Tre-
| land is continuing her struggle far more
| hopefully and far more buoyantly than
| at any other time in all the 700 years
/ struggle.
Of this lecture, delivered by him in
buIIalo Wnen ne mad nlmSelI carried
on a stretcher from the hospital rather
than disappoint the crowds at the thea
ire that awaited to hear him, the Buff
falo Evening News says: Although so
! i'll that he had to be carried on the
stage of Shea IS theater in chair, Seu-
mas MacManus last night delivered the
most impressive address on Ireland ever
heard by the Irishmen of Buffalo. The
wit, the language and the intellectual
power displayed by the speaker made
the address one of the most remarkable
ever spoken from Buffalo platform.

ADVANTAGES OF
APPLE SPRAYING
County Agent sweeton Tells of Results
of Two Demonstrations in Windham
County Past Season.

The monthly news letter just issued
oy a. w. Sweeton, agent of the Wind
nam County Agricultural society, con.
ta1ns some interesting facts concern
ing apple spraying demonstrations in
this county, showing the advantages of
spraying. 1t says:
There are many farmers right here
IN Windham county who have from 25
trees and up who do not prune or
spray. The reason seems to be that
they are not convinced that pruning
and spraying pay and they fear they
will only get new dollar for an old
one. The object of these demonstra-
lions, as carried on this summer, has
been to prove that these operations
paid and paid well when done under
ordinary conditions. All the orchards
had been pruned, none of them had
ever been sprayed. Two are listed be-
low and third one was located at F.
4. 4eaw's, East Dover. On this figures
are not available, but there was a
marked improvement in the fruit on
the sprayed trees. We feel indebted
to all these men for their cooperation
in these demonstrations The two from
which figures were obtained are listed
below
Demonstration at w III. Hescock s.
West rattleboro.-About so trees of
different varieties and all ages were
sprayed in this demonstration They
/ had been pruned moderately previous
to 1918, but had never been sprayed
before. Only one spray was applied
| This was the coddling moth spray, con
sisting of one and one-half pounds dry
arsenate of lead and one gallon of lime
| sulphur to 40 gallons of water, and this
was applied on June ID, just after the
petals had fallen
"To get a line on the effects OF
spraying, several pairs of trees, of the
same size and variety, and standing
side by side, were selected. One in
each pair was sprayed in the ordinary
way and the other was left unsprayed
The growth of the fruit through the
summer was noted from time to time
At picking time a pair of baldwin
trees We're selected and one side OF
each tree was picked, taking every
thing as it came. In getting a barrel
of marketable fruit on the unsprayed
tree q IL pounds of wormv, scabby
and Gull apples had to be thrown out
In getting barrel from the sprayed
tree only four and three-quarters
pounds of wormy, scabbv and Gull ap
Piles had to be thrown out. The spray
ing gave an increase of one-half bushe
of marketable fruit for every barrel OF
marketable fruit that would have beer
harvested without spraying. Mr.. He's
cock harvested 81 barrels this fall, but
according to the above results, he would
have had only II without spraying
The statement of the profit over the
cost of the material and labor is a:
follows:
Cost of spraying material 500

Demonstration at C. L. Worden S.
Marlboro.-This demonstration was To-
Gated IN an orchard consisting entirely
of Baldwins 10 to Is years old. The
orchard was laid out in FIVE rows of
about II trees each. The trees were
apparently thrifty, but had been pruned
very little and never sprayed. The
middle row was selected as the demon
stration row and was pruned moderate
lv, as the variety and the location made
them very susceptible to sunscald. All
wounds were disinfected with bi-chlor-
ide of mercury. The dormant spray
mixed one gallon of hme-sulphur to
nine gallons of water was applied on
April 2s. On June 2, when the bios
SONS were nearly off, the coddling moth
spray was applied. Formula for this
was three pounds arsenate of lead
to 40 gallons of water
During the summer the sprayed
trees showed bettes color and less bis
ter mite. In the fall the leaves hung
on the sprayed trees after they were
entirely off the unsprayed. All this in
Dictated improved health and vigor.
None of the wounds developed canker.
'EThe last of October apples were
pie ed from the sprayed and unsprayed
rows and were sorted to find the per-
centage of wormy, scabby and Gull APP
pies. On the sprayed trees only eight
and three-tenths per cent were thrown
out. On the unsprayed rows SO $40
per cent were thrown out. This was
the off year for this orchard, so the
crop was very light ON all the trees.
Some of the demonstration trees We're
loaded with very good fruit, while none
of the unsprayed had any amount OF
good fruit on them. The total yield on
the demonstration row was increased
at least three times.
'tBoth these demonstrations were
carried on under ordinary conditions
with a hand barrel pump. The results
could be duplicated by any farmer with
barrel pump outfit, which could be
purchased for from $15 to SIS. Pur
chased comparatively with a neighbol
| the outlay need not be over $40, and
the outfit would last for years and dc
efficient work. With a very small or
chard the cost of such an outfit woulc
be entirely paid the first year by thu
increase in the quality and quantity
of the fruit With the right car,
Windham county can produce excellen
fruit, as has been shown by the results
at the New England fruit show TIL
year. The majority are not doing it
as was shown by the ears of low-grad
fruit that were shipped out of Brattle
boro this fall Better prices and bet
tier markets can never be secured unit
we produce the kind of fruit which tn
market demands. Every year that come
will find lower price and poorer maj
ket for low-grade fruit. Why not star
lin next spring and try to produce tn
very best apples possible9''

NEW TITANIC" WHEAT.

The department has recently
been advised by a correspondent
IN California that a variety oi
wheat is being advertised under
name Titanic. The assertion
Is made thai il is a new variety
OF wheat discovered in England
a0Out four years ago, and that a
s.;aaa quantity of sce,i was bought
70 the United States by one OF
the survivors OF the ill-fated II
tame. The wheat s represented
as having extremely high yield
ing power, the returns reaching
ing as high as 10000 fold. A
photograph sent by this ceres
pondent shows a head identical in
appearance with the widely ex-
plotted Alaska" wheat. Five
acres of the wheat are said 20
be growing ia the State of Wash
IngtOn, and the seed, il IS beliey-
ed, will be offered at high prices
after harvest. The department
has no further or more definite
information concerning this va
riety, but farmers and dealers are
cautioned 10 be ON Their guard
concerning this new exploitation.
