now is TINE TO USE DORMANT
SPRAYS FOR PLANT LICE
Spraying Should Be Done Just as the
Buds Begin to Burst

The time of year for dormant or
chard sprays is now at hand and
doubtless there are many fruit grow
ers who are considering the use of
some of these sprays for the destruc-
tion of woolly aphis or some of the
green orchard lice upon their apple,
peach, or other fruit trees.
There seems to be an impression
abroad among the fruit growers, that
these plant lice may be killed in the
egg stage by spraying with such ma
terials as lime-sulphur or one of the
miscible oils before the buds open.
We have gone quite thoroughly into
this matter in an experimental way
at the Agricultural college and have
been compelled to conclude that nei-
ther of these sprays are at all eff
cient in the destruction of plant louise
eggs. In fact, in our experiments, we
at all with these substances unless
they are used in strengths far beyond
what would be practical in orchard
work. The experiments also indicate
that it is not practical TO use a lime
sulphur mixture for the control of
these plant lice at any time of the
year.
Ii plant louise eggs are present upon
orchard trees in any considerable num-
bers, it would be advisable to make
thorough spraying of the trees with
miscible oil, tobacco extract (such as
BLACK Leaf 4O") or good kerosene
emulsion just as the buds are begin
ming to burst in the spring. At this
time, the plant lice are nearly all
Matched and will be resting upon the
buds waiting for the first appearance
Of green leaf tissue to enable them
to begin to feed and grow. At this
time, the lice are easily killed, and it
is not difficult to get the spray in
thorough contact with their bodies, as
there are no leaves to protect them.
The lime sulphur spray, while prac-
tically useless for plant louise control,
is of great service as dormant spray
for the control of the San Jose scale
and red spiders and brown mites in
the orchard.-C. P. Gillette, Colorado

The Burden of Useless Laws

Have you not come unconsciously to
think of Legislative merit in terms of
multitudinous bills and laws? Fol-
lowing the popular trend, have you
not grown to estimate a Legislators
service by the number of new meas
ures which he may propose?
We hear a great deal now about
constructive" legislation, as if there
were some magic in the name, and
public men are often criticised by an
unthinlling press because their names
are not identified with the enactment
Of some new law. There could not
be greater fallacy.
To prevent enactment of new laws
may be a legislators highest merit,
and to encourage Legislation may be a
grievous fault. In the majority of
cases, constructive legislation" as
it is called in the prevailing phrase of
cant, is a delusion and fraud.
In a great and growing country such
AS ours, with continual rapid changes
going on, Of course we cannot get
along without new laws, but in ordi-
nary times Constructive" legislation,
as men love to call it, is a danger In
most years we should be far better
off if congress and our state legisla-
lures would confine themselves to the
enactment Of appropriation bills and
to imperative revision Of the laws for
raising revenue.
The thing the country needs today
is not new laws so much as the re-
peal Of had.-Louis R. Coolidge in
American Industries for February.

STATE FARM LOANS QUESTION
is CARRIED TO SUPREME
COURT
Attorney General Asks Highest Tri-
bunal to Pass on Constitutional
ity of Act

The state farm loan act and the
question of its validity will start on
u round of red tape next Monday,
according to an announcement by At
torney General Leslie E. Hubbard.
The question of the legality of the
act, which was passed by the people
at the last election, was brought up
by the rufusal of State Treasurer
Robert H. Higgins 10 make loans ap-
piled for under the new law until Il
decision was had from the state su-
preme court on the constitutioaality
Of the act.
After Treasurer Higgins rcfusals,
the matter went through every office
in the state house, finally arriving at
the office Of Attorney General Hub
bard, who was requested by Cover
nor Julius C. Gunter TO prepare an
interrogatory to the supreme court,
asking that the high tribunal take
original jurisdiction in the ease.
Attorney General Hubbard has had
the case more than g week and will
have it ready by Monday to present
to Governor Gunter, who in turn will
present the matter to the state su-
preme court.
1t is expected that the suprcme
court will grant the request of the
governor and will hand down a de-
cision on the case within a few weeks.
Attorney General Hubbard takes the
stand that the act is constitutional,
and that Treasurer Higgins should
pay out the money.

Protect Your Animals from Blackleg
and Anthrax

Blackleg and anthrax in our lower
animals have been looked upon as
diseases that were practically incur
able but easily prevented by vaceina-
tion. In small herds the double black
leg vaccine has been considered most
effective while in the large herds of
the west, where vaccinations is quite
a chore, the single vaccine has been
mostly used. The double vaccine has
been used in anthrax. Now we have
on the market a single anthrax vac
cine, anthrax bacterins, and a black
leg serum. The latter is especially
applicable in herds where the disease
has already appeared. There is an
interval of two or three weeks after
cattle have been given the vaccine
before immunity is established. but
the serum gives immediate protection
and this is very desirable in herds
where the disease has appeared un-
expectedly. 1t also appears that the
serum has much curative value.-Geo.
