FOR SPRAYING APPLE TREES
Best Formula Is Concentrated Lime
SuIphur-AppIy for Codling Moth
About August First.

The best formulas for spraying ap.
pie trees and any other fruit trees ex-
cept the peach, is concentrated lime
sulphur at the strength of one to forty
for apples and one to fifty for the other
fruits, and two and half pounds of
arsenate of lead. The first spraying
should be made just us the pink of the
blossom shows. This shota,d be fol-
lowed by another application as the
blossom petals are dropping. In about
two weeks the trees should be sprayed
again, and winter varieties of apples
should have another application for
the second brood of codllng moth
about the first of August.
All fruit trees except the peach
should receive the first three applica-
tions. Plums should receive spray.
ing after that at intervals of two
weeks. until within about a month of
ripening time. No fruit should be
sprayed within month of ripenine
time, because sufficient time should be
allowed for the removal of all traces
of the spray material by the weather
before the fruit Is harvested.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Although
the United States has taken the most
vigorous course possible short Of war
to denomcc the ruthless submarine
warfare officials of the government re-
gard the German proposal to negotiate
while the campaign is in progress as
utterly insincere. From the first the
move has been looked upon and re-
sented as a piece Of propaganda de-
signed to bccloud the issue and put the
United States in false position of
belligerency.
The question Of whether navy guns
shall bc provided for American ship
owners desiring to arm their vessels
for defense against submarines has
been admitted to President Wilson
is the state and navy departments.
II is understood that the state depart
ment. the government 5 spokesman on

cd that the guns be provided.
There IS said to be no authority I'M

Gus under bond for their return. In.
der existing law only condemned guns
and stores can be sold by the navy.

Dean Briggs Of Harvard Says Ath-
Ietes May Be Protected in Gram.
mar Schools - Cheering Is
Termed as Good Thing.

College boys can be- saved from pro-
fcSsiuualiSn in the grammar schools, is
jbc idea expressed by Dean lie Baron
x. Briggs of Harvard. chairman of the
athletic committee Of the college. in his
warning issued to prospective college
athletes against playing for money, in
m address on athletics at Harvard.
He said:
The ethics Of athletics should be
like the ethics of anything else. If a
hoy breaks his amateur standing, he
should be quick to say so and face the
music. think that any normal Ameri-
can hoy will play game of baseball
wherever ana whenever he has the
chance. Often they get into semi
professional company, and without car.
ing much about the stipend they re-
ceiyc, accept money for their services.
Few boys realize what may be the fu-
ture effects Of receiving pay for play
iuE baseball.

The fact that he has earned money for
bah playing. But sometimes-it may be
years in the future-the fact is likely

the boy would give many times the
original amount if he could only blot
out his one slip into professionalism.
The seriousness of playing for
money should be shown TO the boy
when he IS still in the grammar or high
schools. OftentimcS they have mar
red their amateur records before they
even think of coming To- college. II
advice of this kind is impressed upon
, the boys early enough, the danger of

| very likely be obviated.
