SPRAY PEACHES TO
get BETTER fruit
The Losses From Brown Rot and
Plum Curcuho, to Fruit Growers
Who Do Not Spray, Are Very
Great-Use SeH-Boiled Lime Sui
-p4l1r and Arsenate of Lead

In 1900 before the fruit growers Of
14hestate had generally adopted spray
ing for the prevention of damage from
brown rot and curculio, the estimates
made by peach growers themselves
show that the losses were from Is to
so per cent of the fruit in the orchard
and often as much as 80 percent in
transit. This was surely tremend-
'ous drag on peach growing. Sine the
development of the practice of sum-
lmer spraying of peaches, these losses
can b held down to where they are
hardly noticeable. When peaches are
sprayed according to the schedule Civ
acn herewith, they do not rot in the or
chad, nor decay easily in transit. The
grower expects to market peaches
1nust spray to make success of peach
growing; while the people who wish
good fruit for their own use should al
$50 spray.

Paris, Feb 23-A triple offensive
movement is being carried on by the
Germans; in West Flanders, in Artois
and to the north of Verdun.
This is believed by the French
critics to be the last great effort Of
the Germans to break the Allies lines
in the west. If the Germans are not
successful in this move, they will pro-
badly be forced to assume the defen-
sive on every front until the end of
the war
The assaults are being launched by
the Germans with picked troops They
have succeeded in penetrating the Al
! lied lines over wide front, but the
War Office here claims that they have
been driven out OF their captured po-
sitions except few first line trenches
! by means Of counter attacks.
Enormous losses were inflicted on
the Germans, who attacked in mass
formation
The present offensive of the Kaiser's
troops is expected to he, the turning
point of tn war

Verdun is on the railway line from
Metz, the German fol ress, to Paris.
Against it was directed the attackun-
der the German Crown Prince when
three armies were launched at Paris
at the opening of he wsr.
1t is the one French fortress to With
stand German siege and for its sue
cessful defense Gen. Sarrail was pro-
NOTED. The fortress has been the OBJ
ject of attack since the opening of the
war.
Verdun forms the northeast apex Of
the French line, where it runs east
from the English Channel and turns
south to Switzerland. German drives
bent in the French lines west and
south until at Verdun they resemble
an inverted U. For eighteen months
the French and German lines have
been very close together here and the
Germans will not have to gain much
to force a general French retirement
and readjustment of the entire north
Eastern front and Paris would again
be seriously endangered.
The situation appears to be critical
from French standpoint.
