WINTER SPRAYING IS
IMPORTANT PRACTICE
Neglect Means That Fruit Crop
Will Be Greatly Injured
Diseases Are Checked.

Winter spraying is a very important
practice where certain diseases are
common, and where scale insects have
made start. To neglect winter
spraying often means that the fruit
crop will be greatly injured, for spring
and summer spraying will not permit
the use of sprays strong enough to
hold disease germs and certain scale
insects in control.
For San Jose scale 1t requires
very strong solution to penetrate the
scales on the trees and kill the insects
by contact. These strong solutions
cannot be used when the tree has foli-
age, but must be used while the tree
Is dormant. The sprays used are lime
sulphur wash or self-boiled lime-sur-
phur wash or self-boiled lime-sulphur

There Is no good reason for banish-

Fashionable women are ordering
gowns that will serve for both dinner

HOME ORCHARD TREES
KNOWN AS B0ARDERS
Some Farmers Could ProfitabIy
Pull Up Some of Most Unde-
SirabIe Varieties.

(By T. o. MORRISON. State Horticul-
tural Commissioner Of Washington.)
The home orchard has not been Of
any particular Importance up to the
present time in our state so far as sup
plying any great quantity Of fruit for
the commercial trade Is concerned. 1t
has been quite commonly an object Of
the farmer to plant trees Of several
varieties, In order to secure for his
family and hired help sufficient fruit
for the seasons supply. Generally
these orchards have yielded plentiful
ly, and in many cases, after coming
into bearing, have proved to be larger
than was necessary. Since they were
not intended to produce fruit for the
trade, there are now some of them
double the size required to furnish the
family fruit supply. 1t would there
fore seem that some farmers could
prOftably pull up some Of their home
orchard, particularly undesirable vari-
eties and individual trees that were
not paying for their keep.
The progressive dairyman carefully
tests and weighs the milk from each
COW, to find out what cows are the
money makers and which ones the
''boarders." Why not apply the same
principle to the home orchard? For
in the home orchard, as well as in
some Of the commercial orchards, there
there are many trees that must neces-
sarily be classed as "boarders." A
small home orchard, consisting only of
trees necessary for the home fruit sup
ply, neatly planted, pruned, well-culti-
waited, and carefully sprayed, ought to
prove more satisfactory and ecOnOm.

mon than a few years ago. Where
there is q considerable orchard 1t Is
not safe to neglect 1t these days. One
tree might become badly infested with
scale and enough be bred to infest the
entire orchard. Spraying gives a GER
tain amount of insurance.
The winter spray also helps hold In
check such diseases as bitter rot Of
apple, brown rot of the peach, cherry
and plum. Spores of some of these
diseases are likely to be left over on
mumified fruit or on the trees and
spraying with a strong concentrated
formula will destroy many OF the
spores and reduce the danger Of the
disease.
Even where one has but few trees
spraying is apt to be necessary as no
one can tell what the season may
bring as to insects and diseases. A
small spraying outfit is sufficient for
a few trees, but where one has a large
orchard power sprayer Will be
needed.

CREAM HIGH IN TEST
BRINGS BEST PRICE
Of Benefit to Both Cream Pro-
ducer and Butter Manufac- !
turer-Retains Flavor. ~

High-testing cream Is of benefit to
ter manufacturer. The creameries
realize this and many Of them are
urging their patrons to deliver cream
Of high butterfat content Cream test
ing about 35 per cent fat Is desirable
for butter making because 1t can be
handled more cheaply and makes bet
ter quality of butter than thin cream.
Because Of these facts creameries are
able to pay their patrons top prices for
high-testing cream.
L. G.. Rinkle Of the University Of
Missouri college Of agriculture men
tions several reasons. from the farm
er's point of view, why cream should
be high in test. One of these Is be-
cause Of the Improvement In the quail
ity of the cream as the test increases.
A high-testing cream will retain its
good flavor much longer than thin or
low-testing cream. The quality of the
cream should be of the best, since 1t
takes good cream to make good butter.
Good butter commands a higher price
than poor butter end thus produces
higher returns to both the creamery
and the farmer.
BY separating milk into high-testing
cream larger quantity of skim milk
Is obtained. The value of 100 pounds
skim milk Is sometimes considered
equal to that of half bushel Of corn.
With the high prices Of feeds 1t is
therefore desirable to feed all the skim
milk possible. High-testing creaa
makes possible more of this valuable
food.
The production Of high-testing cream
also saves money for the farmer who
ships cream. When cream tests 20 per
cent 1t will cost cents a pound but.
terfat to ship so pounds of it. II the
express charges amount to 20 cents
When the cream tests 40 per cent Il
will cost but / cent a pound butterfat
to ship so pounds. for the total charges
