PROTECT POTATO
 AND TOMATO PLANTS
Spraying Is Important to Keep Down
 the Flea Beetle.

Many requests are being made con corning the treatment for the elimina- ton of the flea beetle which is found so commonly on the potato and toma- to plant This is one of the hardest insects to control, and the best remedy seems to be the spraying of vines with bordeaux. The potato plant should be sprayed from now on for the blight and due to the fact that in addition to the flea beetle there are other. in Sects, such as the Colorado potato beetle. it seems that the best prep aration that can be made is bordeaux lead. This material contains both the bordeaux for the blight and the arsenate of lead which is the poison for the insect. Eight pounds should be used to 50 gallons of water.
 Where the area to be sprayed is one acre or less, a hand sprayer such as the knapsack or compressed air continual pumping, and the latter only at intervals. Those with brass tanks are much more durable than those of galvanized iron or similar material Good agitation is necessary in any sprayer. The man with one to five acres has a more difficult prob lem He may rent horse drawn sprayer, and this is recommended where possible. Barrel sprayers wNh one or two leads of hose such as are used in orchard work are good where available. A reliable man is needed at the pump to maintain a uniform pressure. For areas of five acres or more it is worth while to own a horse sprayer. To do successful work. any sprayer must break up the liquid into a fine mist which settles over the entire plant, covering the underside of the leaves, as well as the top. With horse drawn sprayers, one nozzle per row is sufficient early in the season, but at least two should be used IatEr Fifty gallons of spray per acre will be required early in the season and 75 or more later

PEACH LEAF CURL.
Due to Neglect of Fall Spraying -
 Nothing Can Be Done Now.

Peach leaf curl is quite prevalent in some orchards this year. Many Connecticut growers have become dis couraged on account of the appear ance Of their trees at this time. Many questions come to the county league from individuals who have a few trees in the backyard regarding what can be done for leaf curl. Nothing can be of the disease. If damp, war weather continues there is a likelihood that 1t will grow worse. If hot, dry weather sets in it Is likely to run it's course and the diseased leaves will dry up and drop off within the next four or six weeks. New leaves should then grow out and the peach crop may or may not be injured. Many growers are applying nitrate of soda at the rate of from 1 to 1 1-2 pounds per tree in order that growth may be stimulat- ed and plant food made easily availa- ble. It is hoped that by so doing the period when the leaves drop will be tided over by the increased vitality of the tree and that the small peach sets will not fall off.
 Now is a good time to go out into the orchard and look around for this trouble Its effect upon the tree will be the best means of convincing one of the need of fall and winter spray ing with lime sulphur. The same agi- tation and advertising was carried on last season as in pervious years, yet only few men were convinced that such a spray would be profitable If the peach crop which looks so promis- ing materializes those trees which have been sprayed and that fruit which is nearest perfection will bring the best price.

poultry men, are finding time to put in few acres, however. Every far mer with tillab.e land. not yet planted may well SOW it to buckwheat. sas
 .Buckwheat should be sown at the rate of three to four pecks per acre. It should be put in similar to oats or rye. and planting should not be de- Iayed later than the first week in July. The crop is damaged by frost and Where early frost may be expected it is unwise to delay seeding later than June 20. The crop may be expected to develop in about S5 days.
 In many cases a, sufficient supply of seed may be obtained locally. In case of shortage among dealers, a supply of Japanese variety may be obtained from the committee of food supply, Connecticut State Council of Defence, 36 Pearl Street, Hartford, at cost of $500 a bushel.
 There are three common varieties Japanese. Silver Hull, and Common Grey. The Japanese is claimed to yield best but any of the three should be satisfactory.
 Buckwheat may be used in the grain ration of hens, may be ground whole and fed to hogs, or made into four and used for gride cakes.
 BuckWheat, as a food fer poultry, apears usually in grain mixtures. On account of it's size and angular fibrous hulls hens do not as a rule relish it in large quantities, although it may readily make up 15 per cent. to 20 per price is not prohibitive. On this basis each hen in the state could use six pounds of buckwheat during the win ter, which would mean a consumption of about 175, GOO bushels.-W. L. Slate, IT,. Connecticut Agricultural College.

DANGERS OF A COLD
Norwich People Will Do We'll to Heed

Many bad cases of kidney trouble re- suit from a cold or chill Congested kidneys fall behind in Altering the poi laden blood and backache, head ache, dizziness and disordered kidney action follow. Don't neglect a cold. Use Deans Kidney Pills at the first sign of kidney trouble Follow this Norwich residents example:
 James L. Austin, carpenter. 30 Penobscot St, says: When, a cold has settled on my kidneys I have had dull pain across my back. When I have bent over for any length of time it has been just like having a knife thrust into my back to straighten up. My kidneys have acted irregul larIy. Doan's Kidney Pills, bought at Nickol- sons Drug Store. have always cured those attacks. have tried other med icines but have always found it nec- essary to use Doan's Kidney Pills to get he1p.''

AGRICULTUR INTERESTS

tuted, the increase in swine has been over 50 per cent. A county in southern state, which was importing pork when the pig club campaign be- gan there a few years ago, shipped 557 cars of swine to outside markets in 1916. These facts tend to show that one of the most effective ways of in creasing the numbers of swine in the state, and thereby the food supply, is by means of pig clubs.
 Although MT. Sirnrns has been in the state only a few weeks, the work is progressing at a rapid rate. Arrange ment has been made with a number of banks in the state to loan to the pros pective club members, funds for the purchase of a pig, the boy or girl to sign an unsecured note for the amount this note to be paid when the pig is port has been very active and 167 clubs have been formed. The other counties are coming into line rapidly.
 A number of prizes will be given out at the close of the season. The State Editorial Association has given $50 to ed in the fiat pig" class. This money is divided into four prizes. The Reg istered DuRoc Jersey Association of fers $75 to be awarded as the pig club agents see fit. The Yale National Bank offers $100 for New Haven county to be divided into prizes of $15, s10 s5, $3 and sixty seven $1 savings accounts.
 Any boy or girl between the age of 10 and IS is eligible to full member ship and may compete for prizes if they get their pig and begin keeping records before July first. Associate memberships may be taken out by will not be allowed to compete for prizes.

BRoILERs SHOULD BE SOLD.
Good Market Now Makes 1t Wise
 Not to Hold Them,

There is a good demand at this sea- son of the year for two-pound broilers At the present prices of 32 to 33 cents per pound, live weight, they can be sold at a profit. From the stand point of economy 1t is very important that broilers be on the market as early as possible particularly Leghorns. which do not improve in quality or value after the two-pound limit
 Male birds should be separated from the bullets as early as they can be de- tected, and kept in a limited area. where there is plenty of green food, and fattened with a ration consisting largely of dry mash. Cracked corn should be fed twice daily with a dry mash consisting of one part of meat scraps, one part of gluten, one part of corn meal and three parts of wheat mixed feed, to be kept before them all the time.
 In order to prevent crowding, low broad roosts should be provided for the birds after they are eight. weeks old. This makes it possible to keep a large number in one house, thus economizing space and giving more
