facts have not as yet been definitely

of the local Germans who were

that one daughter, Mrs. Seifert, and a

MELBOURNE, Austraha.-One OF
the first official acts of the new prime
minister of Australia, William NJ.
Hughes, has been an announcement
that fresh army win be furnished

voluntary enlistment is to be adhered
to. No request had been made to the
commonwealth by the imperial gov

THE MAUI CHAMBER or COM
MERGE.

In electing r. A. Wadsworth presi-
dent, the Maui Chamber of Commerce
probably acted in the best interests
OF the organization and of the COM
munity. 1t certainly acted in con-
formity with the wishes OF the retir-
ing president, f. f. Baldwin. who has
held the office for several terms. Mr..
WadsYortl is one of the most pro.
gressive and energetic citizens OF the
county. He is public spirited and
thoroughly alive to the needs of the
community. and with the solid backing
which he deserves and doubtless will
receive, the future of the chamber
seems very bright To Mr.. Baldwin be-
longs large measure of the credit
for the organization and upbuildfng OF
the organization. His enthusiasm for
the work, and his belief in it, and his
willingness to give in unstinted meas.
nre his time and thought to the cham
hers affairs, have given TO Maui an
organization that has been of inestima-
bic benefit to the island. In asking
that he be not reelected Mr. Baldwin
clearly was not seeking to shirk the
responsibility but was acting for what
he believed to be the best interests of
the body. The Maui Chamber of Com

pounds of powdered lead and pint
of nicotine sulphate has been added.
The lime-splphur here will prevent
development of any fungus and aid
in the further control Of the dreaded
apple scab. The lead controls any
chewing insects, principally the cod
ling moth worm, which becomes To-
Gated within the apple, through the
blossom end and before the calyx
lobes close, and the purpose of using
the arsenate now is to fill the calyx
cup with the poison so that when the
worm enters the cup and begins feed
ing he is poisoned. The result is that
we have no wormy apples. The nico-
tine sulphate used at this time is to
destroy any green aphis that there
may be as well as the first black APP
his which now begins 10 appear.
4th Spray.-Same as the third
spray, using the same material, but
made two weeks after the third
spraying.
9Th Spray.-Same as fourth spray,
but two weeks later.
9th Spray.-This is usually the last
spray made in a well regulated or
chard and should always be made
with bordeaux mixture in preference
to any other fungicide, as the bor-
deaux is the only spray which will
control bitter rot and apple blotch.
Use the 1850 formula of bordeaux
A pounds of vitrol, pounds lime and
so gallons of water. Add three
pounds of paste or " pounds of ar
senate of lead TO every so gallons of
bordeaux, and add the nicotine sui
phate if aphis, apple red bugs, or
leaf hoppers are present, otherwise
omit il at this spraying. The nico-
tine sulphate can be omitted in the
fourth and fifth spraying if no aphis
either green or black or rosy are pre-
sent. The aresnate at this last
sprayingas we'll as in the subsequent
spraying as well as in the subsequent
moths. bugs and beetles that chew
their food, or injure fruit or foliage
i'm any way, and particularly the sec
ond brood of codling moth worms,
which are now designated by some
growers as side worms, because of
their practice Of boring into the side
Of the apple.
This is an important spraying and
should never be neglected.
For the root lice, and the root form
of woolly aphis, remove the soil about
the base of the tree to a depth of
about three inches and circle around
the tree Of not less than six feet In
diameter, then wet the soil well with
nicotine solution, or scalecide about
5 per cent Of strength, or cover well
with tobacco dust, then replace the
soil. In no case should live sulphur
solution be used for the control of
the root form Of woolly aphis, or 9TH

err forms of root lice because Of its
caustic nature, it destroys the deli
cate feeding rootlets, as well as the
insects. For crown gall or collar rot,
mixture of one quart OF raw sui
phur to three quarts of air Stacked
lime piled around the base of the tree
removing the soil SO that the mixture
can be placed Immediately against
the crown or collar, then replacing
the soil has proven helpful in con-
trolling this destructive disease and
at the same time prevented the bor-
ers. Keeping the trunks Of the trees
coated with the lime sulphur wash
will prevent both the round and nat
head apple tree borers.
Cankered places on trunks or larg-
er limbs Of apple trees should be
carefully treated-frst, by the re-
moval of all dead tissue and by eau
terizing the wound; next by painting
the wound heavily with bordeaux
mixture or clear copper sulphate, or
by lime-sulphur solution, to which a
little hydrated lime has been added
to give it more body. This should
be repeated at intervals OF every SIX
weeks until the new wood entirely
envelopes the injured part.
Where bark on the body Of trees
becomes very rough, or where there
is considerable growth of moss or
lichens, the bodies should be lightly
scraped with a blunt instrument; new
er scrape so that the sap will ooze
out through the bark. If you do, the
remedy will be as hurtful as the dis
ease.
Sucking Insects-The principle in
sects of the apple are: San Jose scale,
oyster shell bark louise, scurfy scale,
Putnam, Forbes and terrapin scale,
woolly, rosy, and green aphis, leaf
miners and hoppers, and apple red
bug.
Chewing Insects-Canker worms,
bud moths, case bearers, codling moth
worms, tussock moth, and tent cater
pillars, fruit maggott, lesser apple
worm, bag worms, curculios and Dor
ers.
Fungus Diseases-Apple scab, APP
pie rust, bitter rot, brown rot, apple
canker, collar rot, leaf spot, frog-eye
fungus, twig blight, sooty blotch,

some of the other states noted for
their good roads, brick is used ex-
tensively because il is cheaper than
cement.
1t is planned to build three miles
of cement center road in the stretch
OF highway extending from the city
limits Of the village of Caledonia
north. While this is apparently an
isolated strip Of road, it is so situat-
ed that hauling gravel TO it makes
the cost almost as great as the ce-
ment combination. Under the pre-
sent scheme the cement will form the
center or crown of the road, while

in other states that a road of this
type is much more lasting than the
gravel roads, while they are cheaper
to maintain and do away with the

tent. The crown of the road receives
Of course a big majority of the traf-
fic, the shoulders being used mostly
for sidetracking purposes. A lotion
steam roller makes hard bed on
which the concrete is placed, and
since the surface is waterproof, there
is no danger of cracking caused by
freezing and thawing of the dirt
foundation. The road will be built
with a slope sufficient to keep it per-
fectly drained at all times, and thus
will last for many years. In case
the concrete road north of Caledonia
proves successful, it is probable that
it will be continued at least as far
north as Cascade township.

Continued from Last Week.
During the few coming weeks the
Banner will give in this department
a complete directory of spraying. We
wish first, however, to give a little
general discussion of the Importance
Of spraying. The Banner is indebted
to the Fruit Belt for these articles,
as they were compiled by it.
LIST Spray-When trees are DOR
mant either in the fall after leaves
have fallen or in the spring before
th foliage developes, with any of
the sulphur washes or micable oils.
This spraying destroys the San Jose
Scale, Oyster shell, scurfy, Forbes,
Howard, Putnam and other scale in
sects, and at the same time will de-
stroy many of the winter spores of
fungus; will clean the trees of Itch
en- and rough bark, producing a
bright, smooth, clean healthy bark.
This will induce free flow Of sap
and give the tree renewed strength
and vigor. In this application the
spray material should be applied with
force, and every part of the tree COM
pletely covered with the spraying
fluid from the surface of the ground
to the very outermost tip of the ter
tree should always be sprayed as well
as the top, and if the soil is slightly
removed at the base of the tree and
the material applied on the trunk of
the tree in such quantities that it will
run down and saturate the base thor
oughly this will tend to prevent the
action of borers and collar rot.
End Spray.-Should be made in the
cluster bud, that is before the apple
buds open, when they show pink. This
is the most important spray for the
control of apple scab and green APP
his that can be made. Use bordeaux
mixture the 4-4-50 formula to which
two pounds of paste arsenate of lead
or one pound of powdered arsenate
of lead and one pint of nicotine sui
phate has been added. This combina-
ton of spray materials at this time
as stated, controls apple scab, and
many other winter spores of destruc-
tive fungus, which are attached to
both the apple buds and the twigs.
The green apple aphis and the bud
moth, pistol case bearers, spring can
ker worms, and crawling cut worms
which begin to make their appear
ance about this time.
3rd Spray.-When the blossoms
have fallen. Don't wait too long,
the proper time is when about two
thirds of the blossoms have fallen,
usinng the concentrated sulphur
solution-one gallon of the solution
to 80 gallons of water. (Boreaux
mixture can be used if preferred), to
which three pounds of paste or IL
