We wonder sometimes OF the

maps the materialistic spirit of
our age will finally mean the
undoing of all that is true and
beautiful and good. But that
feeling on our part Is due large
~ to our lack of faith in God.

At the time of the Holstein sale in
Worcester, Mass, the first of June, E..
A. Baker, owner of the Baker Farms
at Greensboro, purchased a young
bull of exceptionally good breeding.
This animal, King Segis Pontiac
Maartje, is sired by King Segis Pom
tiac, who is also the sire of King Pom
tiac Alcartra, John Arfman's $4,000
bull. King Segis is also the sire of
King Segis Pontiac Konigen, F. F.

The dam of Mr.. Bakers bull pro-
duced an official record in seven days
time, 1925 pounds of butter and was
sired by Colantha Johanna Sad. His
two nearest dams average is Bats
pounds of butter in seven days; his
seven nearest dams average is 3O.7
pounds butter and his ten nearest

Farm Labor.

With the haying season upon US,
there IS, as ever, an increased de-
mand for farm labor. The commits
sioner of agriculture is receiving the
applications from numbers of men in
different parts of New England who
are willing TO work on farms for the
next three or four months. These
men are being sent to the various
county agents and the county agent
of this county asks that all farmers
IN need of help, report to him at once
Farmers In need of labor are given
these names with the request that no
tice be sent to the agent whether or
not the man is hired. Many Of these
applicants have had little experience
and farmers are fully aware that the
man they hire may not always be
just what would be desired. But with
present conditions, 1t is impossible to
find all the help desired and conse-
quently this type Of labor viii be
made use of.

Power Sprayers.

This is a year when every move
must count for the most. The farm
ers are asked to produce quantities of
food stuffs as never before and the
backward rainy season has nearly
brought dispair to more than one
farmer. AS farmers, we wish to ac-
complish much but Mother Nature Of
ten puts a restraining hand on our
operations.
With our large acreage of potatoes
this year, what will be the result to
the crop if damp hot weather pre-
walls In August? There will inevita-
causing short crop, and many bush
els of rotten potatoes once they are
put in storage. Many men will say,
ct was bad potato year!' but here
and there a man will say, 81 had a
good crop this year" The latter
sprayed his crop and prevented any
chance of loss from blight; the for
mer did not spray but took the usual
''chance" that so many farmers take
that there would be no blight.
One of the chief reasons why far
mers do not spray their potatoes with
bordeaux mixture Is that they have
no means of applying the solution, OF
at best, have a small hand sprayer
This is slow and laborious process
and takes too much time for the aver
age man. What is needed is a power
sprayer covering four rows at time
carrying so gallons or more of the
mixture and driven by power pump
either traction or gasoline. A power
sprayer of this sort is q necessity or
a farm of the average size in this
county. 1t is possible to do a mum
Der of things with this machine:
l. Spray potatoes with bordeaux
to protect them against blight and tc
this same bordeaux add either paris
green or arsenate of lead to kill the
bugs.
2. Spray kale growing IN oats
barley, wheat or corn.
3. Spray orchards any time it is
necessary.
4. Whitewash the barn inside OF
outside, etc.
Three or four men may buy one to-
gether if it is too big proposition
for one man. This means an invest
ment of S25 to S35 per man where q
sprayer IS bought in this manner, and
one Of these machines with good care
should last ten years, an investment

POTATO Spraying.

The Geneva, N. Y, experiment sta
ton gives the following amount of
materials which were used in one
year in spraying 10.4 acres of pota-
toes five times with bordeaux mix
ture. The prices used in figuring the
cost of materials are those quoted by
the Farmers exchange for blue vitri-
oil and arsenate of lead and by F. M.
Sherman Feed company for lime as
the exchange was handling no lime.
234 lbs. blue vitriol Copper sui

70 hrs: labor, man and horse
a 40c. %.
Wear on sprayer $50
Total expense for 1O.4 acres $112.46
The total expense of spraying one
acre five times during the season
would be $1O.81 or $2.16 for each ap-
plication.
Many farmers believe it does not
pay to spray as they do not see any
increase in yield or blight does not
happen to occur the year they
sprayed. Repeated trials at expert
ment stations and by farmers them
selves do not confirm these beliefs
In New York state the experiment
station ran a series of spraying trials
over ten-year period and it was
found that the average increased
yield due to spraying was 977A bush
els per acre. A number of the farm
ers near the station were asked tt
cooperate in this work and records
kept by the farmers for nine years
show that the average annual ne
gain, financially was $14.43 per acre
! on over 1900 acres. The average gair
! In yield in the station tests, almost
| 100 bushels to the acre, is much bet
| ter than the average in the farmers
business tests where an increase o.
! Sc bushels was secured. This seem;
to indicate a difference in thorough
ness between station spraying anC
applications made on the farm.
