FIND new MIXTURE
TO SPRAY PEACHES
Flour Of Sulphur, Hydrated Lime
and Ground Glue Is Favored
by New Jersey Man.

A peach spray that is less disagree
able to prepare than self-boiled lime.
sulphur, and said to be cheaper than
some commercial sprays now being
used, Is given In circular 63 from the
New Jersey experiment station, pre-
pared by Lawrence G. Gillian, extern
sion specialist in fruit growing. Ac.
cording to Professor Gillian this new
mixture is promising spray for the
control of scab and brown rot and
gives excellent results when weather
conditions are favorable for the devel.
opment Of both diseases.
This new spray material IS made by
mixing eight pounds of fine -four, or
flowers of sulphur, four pounds OF ny
drafted lime, one and One-half ounces
of ground glue dissolved in three gal
Ions of water, and the whole diluted
with water to 80 gallons.
Put the sulphur and hydrated lime
through fine sieve to eliminate any

quantity of hot water and dilute to
the necessary three gallons. "Place

so that the grains Of sulphur and lime
will become thoroughly coated with the

NO EXTRA SESSION
Governor Unlikely 10 Call Gen.
eral Assembly Together.
COUNCIL ASKS AUTHORITY
Governor Harding Not In Favor OF
Calling Legislature in Order to
Give Council of Defense Off
cial Standing.

Des Moines.-Governo Harding is
opposed to granting the request of the
State Council of Defense for special
session of the legislature to grant
funds and additional powers to the
council for its war service.
The council passed a resolution
unanimously urging a special session.
The council has no funds at all for
its work. 1t has no power to enforce
its recommendations Its members
are not only serving without pay but
are paying their own expenses and fin
ancing their public work from their
own pockets.
Governor Harding declares special
session is unnecessary. He says it will
cost 100000 to sl50,000. The defense
council proposes that the members of
the legislature shall serve without pay.
Members of the council Of defense
will confer with the governor on the
special session.. 1t is reported that
several members OF the committee will
enter serious objection to the gov.
ernor's refusal to call special ses.
sion. They say there is serious work
to be done that cannot be done with.
out funds and authority.
The council of defense also recon-
mended to Governor Harding the
names of a number of men for places
on the two exemption boards that will
pass upon exemptions from military
service.

Brazil Losing Rubber Trade.

One Of the most striking economic
changes in recent years has been the
loss by Brazil of its dominant posi-
ton In the rubber trade. Whereas, a
few years back, the world looked to
South America for most of its crude
rubber. 1t is now getting the larger
share from the far East. The Bra
lillian product is obtained from trees
that grow wild, and little has been
done toward cultivation of the trees.
In Sumatra, Ceylon, Burmah and other
countries millions of trees have been
set out and are now coming into bear
ing. This domestic product is said to
be slightly superior to that obtained
from Brazil, and the trees improve
with age. The financial loss to Brazil
through its decreasing exports has be-
come serious matter.-New York

(From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Grape insect enemies and diseases
may be controlled and good crop of
the berries practically assured if a
careful spraying schedule is carried
out, says A. L. Quaintance of the bu-
reau of entomology, and c. L. Shear
of the bureau Of plant industry of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Owners of small orchards and
vineyards do not sufficiently appre-
ciate the fact, the specialists point out,
that by the expenditure of little time
and money a large proportion of the
fruit may be saved, repaying many
times the trouble involved in its pro-
lection.
The principal insect enemies Of the
grape are the grape berry moth, the
grape rootworm, the rose chafer, the
grape leaf folder and the eight-spotted
forester, all Of which are eating in
sects; and the grape leafhopper and
the brown grape aphis, sucking in
sects. The principal diseases which
attack grapes are black rot, downy
mildew, powdery mildew, and an
thracnoSe.
The use Of combination spray solu-
tons containing chemicals which act
as insecticides or fungicides is advo-
Gated by the specialists. The follow
ing spray schedule is recommended !:
Spray Schedule.
First AppIication-About a week be-
fore the blossoms open or when the

SERIOUS PEST OF THE ONION
Eggs Of Maggot Are Laid on Tops and
Grub Works Way Into Bulb
Some Ways of Control.

The grub which attacks your onions
is the onion maggot, which is prob
ably the most serious pest Of the
onion.
The eggs of this insect are laid on
the tops and the grub works its way
down into the bulb. Practical means
Of control are wanting. On small
patches the use Of carbolic acid emul-
sion has proved efficient. Liberal
amounts of tobacco dust spread along
the rows has proven a fairly good
deterrent.
The most practical way of Kidding
the onions Of this pest is to make the
new planting as far removed from the
old one as possible.

! he impressed upon his hearers the ser1'
cusness Of the situation and urged the
cooperation of every ciIizen, within
reach Of his voice, IN this great CRISIS
DR.. Broomfeld was at his best yester-
day afternoon and inspired his mon
ster audience with the theme OF his
sermon. The most profound attention
was given during the preaching OF this
sermon.

which was received gympathetically
from the audience and one from which
is likely to grow much good.

by the Y. NJ. c. A. organizations all
over the country have lined up to aid
the U. S. Boys Working Reserve or
ganization in its plan to aid the gov
eminent in the cultivation of the soil,
etc.
The plan of the organization is to
enlist the services of boys under the
CONSUMPTION age and to put them to
work on farms, etc., under the care OF
experts, each expert to have charge OF
different groups of workers.
Labor on the FARMS" said Mr..
Right, sis always hard to get especial
ly between June 10 and September and
it is the plan to let the boys make a

perhaps be called to the firing line"
Mr.. Right pointed out that while the
national guard and the regulars are
dead weight on the hands Of the gov
eminent until they actually are in &C
ton that these boys would be bringing
returns to the government right along.
The plan follows out the Boy Scout
idea largely and it is understood the
boys will be enrolled under the banner
Of Soldiers of the soil' and soldiers
of the soil are just as useful If not
more so at this time than the soldier
of the battle.
Farmers will be aiding the govern
ment if they will agree to take these
boys and help them to become of use

time will find they have valuable as

out a membership in the Red Cross
