Orchard VIII Respond to Spray.
ing.

ing.
That orchards respond to care
has been demonstrated repeat
eddy. In spite of this fact, how
ever, many farmers expect their
trees to bear fruit without any
attention whatever. 1t is just as
important to care for three as ii
is for animals. A highly pro-
ductive tree is no more capable
Of shifting for itself and COM
peting with its enemies than an
animal, yet farmers will take
better care of their livestock
than they do of their trees sim
ply because they can more read
lily see the effect of neglect on
an animal than on a tree.
The Missouri College of Ag-
riculture recommends orchard
spraying for two purposes: first,
to save the orchard from scale 4;
and second, to save the fruit
crop from insects and fruit dis
eases. Altho it is a little late
to spray for scale, badly infest-
ed orchards may still be spray
ed with lime-sulphur solution
mixed with eight parts of water
is recommended. Summer
sprays, at best, only help to
check the pest. Strong sprays
when the trees are dormant are
necessary for saving the or
chard from scale. Orchardists
who are not sure that their
trees are infested or who are
not sure that they are clean, may
send samples of twigs to the Col
lege of Agriculture for examina-
ton.
Prompt action must also be
taken if the fruit is to be saved
this year. 1t will soon be time
for the one important spray of
fruit diseases, just as the buds
burst, showing the unopened
blossoms. Never spray when
the trees are in bloom. The all
important spray for the apple
worm, just after most blossoms
are off, will follow this cluster
spray. A spray composed of
one and one-half gallons of con-
centrated lime-sulphur and two
pounds of arsenate Of lead paste
to so gallons of water is recon.
mended for these two applica.
lions.
A spray calendar and Other
suggestions on care of the or.
chard will be sent on applica.
ton to the College of Agricul-
ture, Columbia, Missouri.

The carrier pigeon has been put to a new use by a doctor in Scotland who has large and scattered practice. When he goes on long rounds he car ries number of pigeons with him. If he finds that some of his patients re- quire medicine at once he writes out prescriptions and by means of his pi- geOns forwards them to his surgery. Here an assistant gets the messages. prepares the prescriptions and dispatch es the medicine
 If after visiting a patient the doctor thinks he will be required later in the day, he simply leaves a pigeon. which Is employed to summon him if neces- sary. To this enterprising physician the keeping of carrier pigeons means saving of time and expense and la bor.

They Connect the Era of the Zeppelin
 With That of the Sedan Chair.
 The late Henry Gassaway Davis. once a vice presidential candidate, saw and heard as a boy in Baltimore in 1928 the ceremonies at the official be- ginning of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road.
 The parsonage of the occasion, the driver of "the first spike." as we should say nowadays, was the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independ. ence, the richest American of the eight teenth century, the great gentleman and illustrious patriot. Charles Carroll of Carrollton.
 Born in 1737, Charles Carroll had yet four years to live. Thus these two lives are an arch of nearly 1S0 years between the American colonies of George LIS time and the third year of Mir. Wilson's administration, when Mir. Davis long life came to an end The year of his birth was 1923.
 A mere two dozen of such lives as Carroll's and Davis, a dozen of their united span of years, would take us back to the first Punic war. Charles Carroll and Henry Gassaway Davis, who saw him, together take us from the sedan chair period to that of the Zeppelin.-New York Times.

Discovsrsr of America.
 The first discoverer of America. ac- cording to an old Irish tradition, was St Brendan. Brendan lived in the sixth century and. according to legend. fitted out a vessel and sailed westward in the hope of discovering an island supposed to contain the paradise once tenanted by Adam and Eve. He was accompanied by fourteen monks. and the ship was "victualed for seven years"
 After sailing forty days and forty nights they came to an island. where they found "a ball with tables spread with good meat and drink They then sailed on for long time and came to another island, wherein were the whitest and greatest sheep they ever saw" After stopping for a time they proceeded with the voyage and came to third island. called "the par adise of birds.'' After wandering about for seven years from island to island St. Brendan and his monks re- turned to Ireland. where they aston ished the natives by tales of the won- ders they had seen.
 In spite of the wild and improbable features of this legend 1t was for cen turtles accepted as truth. and the Span ish government sent out several expe- ditions in search of the islands of St. Brendan. The St Brendan legend formed one of the causes which led to the discoveries made by Columbus.
