GOOD FOR ORCHARDS
No Other Fertility That Will Stimulate
Growth on Trees Better Than
Barnyard Manure

After fruit trees bear a few years,
II the soil was originally thin, dress
ing of barnyard manure may be need
ed to keep the trees i'm growing con-
ditiOn and to insure the formation of
fruit buds. 1t will be required that
the trees grow every year in order
that they may form fruit buds. Since
growth Is necessary, nitrogen in the
soil will be necessary also. Warm
soil may lack available nitrogen,
hence the need of barnyard manure
or commercial nitrogen.
Old orchard soils may need organic
matter. This the barnyard manure
will also supply. There is no other
fertility that will stimulate growth In
trees better than barnyard manure, for
it affords both organic matter and nj
trogen.
In applying manure to large trees
do not make the mistake Of applying
the manure close to the tree, around
the trunk. The young roots where the
plant food is to be obtained for old
trees may be considerable distance
from the trunk of the tree. 1t is a
good practice to spread the manure
as far away from the trunk as the
branches extend, possibly farther.
This will provide that the manure is
above many of the roots that are to
absorb plant food.

Rectifying her Mistakes.

In the midst of war England has
discovered the absolute necessity of
rebuilding her school system, of re-
turning to a shorter wOrkday in her
factories and of encouraging the up
building Of the child welfare agencies
that gave up their activities earlier in
the war, notes the Red Cross Maya
zine. Sir Herbert Fisher asked in par
lament last spring for an increase of
f3S29,000 over last years educational
budget. The committee on juvenile ed
ucatiOn has recommended general
fourteen-year age limit for leaving
school throughout England whit the
abolition of all exemptions, and the es-
adjustment of day continuation
schools for children between fourteen
and eighteen with compulsory attend
ance for at least eight hours week.

DANGEROUS SAN JOSE SCALE
Insect MuItipIies Rapidly and It Is
Only Matter Of Time Before
Orchard Is Destroyed.

(By PRESLEY A. GLENN, Illinois Az
ricultural Experiment Station.)
1t Is difficult for one to realize fully
the dangerous character of the San
Jose scale unless he has seen its work.
It feeds on the sap of the host plant.
The amount of sap that single indi-
vidual, or even several hundred indi-
viduals could extract could not injure
a healthy tree or shrub, but the species
multiplies so rapidly, that from a few
scattered parents millions Of progeny
may be produced in season or two,
sufficient to cover completely the bark
Of parts, or even all, of the tree. Most
Of our insect pests have natural enc
mics which so restrain their multiple
cation that they become destructively
abundant only now and then; but
those of the San Jose scale are made
quate to its control. A young tree or
shrub may be killed by the scale in

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would adj
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer g. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

WINTER KILLING IS AVOIDED
Many Orchardists Harden Trees In
Late Summer and Early Fall by
Planting Cover Crop.

Did you lose some of the trees In
your orchard by winter-killing last
year? r. B. Cruikshank Of the Ag-
ricultural College Extension Service.
Ohio State university says that many
orchardists are preventing winter-kill-
ing by hardening their trees during
the late summer and fall months.
They cease cultivation in August and
plant a cover crop Of clover or rye.
This takes the moisture out Of the soil
which ordinarily would be taken up
by the trees. Growth of the tree Is
finished by this time and the lack Of
moisture causes the wood to become
firmer. Little damage Is said to occur
where this practice is followed.

not as small as it seems, as everything
is one-third under market price when
bought for the army. For breakfast,
in addition to the cereal, bean soup Is
served, and for lunch and supper the
menu includes vegetables and fish or
meat. Cooking and distribution Is
carefully done by staff of 20 men, in

Eyesiaht Basis Of Wager.

An Irishman and an Englishman met
one day and they had very heated
discussion. Pat, who had only one
eye, attracted the Englishman's atten-
ton, when he said:
'"Those are grand eyes you have"
"How much grander are those you
have" said the Englishman In answer.
II thought" replied Pat, I've English
men were good grammarlans. / have
but one eye, and you could not say
those" Then Pat, who was anxious
to Guido the Englishman from point
of wit and humOr, said:

that / can see more with my one eye
than you can with your two"
Done" said the Englishman. IT'S

And Pat, in his truly witty manner,
vOciferated:
'Arrah, shure, with my one eye can
see your two, whereas you with your
two eyes can only see my one"

MEN TO ORGANIZE
CHAMBER COMMERCE

The meeting called by the Busi-

was fairly we'll attended, but not as
we'll as it should have been. Chair
man Spearman stated that the Busi-
ness League : I'D not held meeting
in a long time but that it still had
some thirty dollars in the treasury
and he hoped that something would
be done to organize some sort of busi-
uess organization.
Mr.. T. M. Mills the county DEM
onstration agent who was present by
invitation stated that in his work
some sort of business organization
in the town would be Of great assist
ance to him in the matter OF cooper
alton, and especially at this time
would he like to see an organization.
What was needed just at this time
while we were all urging the farm
ers to plant and grow food studs was
the matt r of market.

were made by Dr.. Harms, :. B. Hun.

would be good idea to get the young
men of the town to :aEn hold OF the
organization, to which we all agreed
not admitting Of course that any OF
those present were old men.

men to call a meeting On next Tues
DAY afternoon at o'clock and organ
ize and that all Of US would pull
together with them. ]. B. Hunter, G.
c. Schumpert, Floyd Bradley were
appointed to notify the young men OF
the action taken and to call the meet
ing and get the boys out next Tues.
day. We hope to see enough enthu-
siasm aroused by that time to get
