Fertilization is A
HELP TO ORCHARDS
Pennsylvania College Announces
Result of Nine Years Ex-
periments in Orchards.

DIR. J. 2. Stewart, head of the de-
partment of experimental pomology at
the Pennsylvania State college, an
n0unceS the results of nine years eX-
periments in fertilization of apple Or
chards. He declares the yield of fruit
may be increased from 100 to 367 bush
els to the acre by properly feeding ma
ture trees.
"The fertilization We now recon-
mend" he said, Consists of either sta
BILE manure applied to the tree at the
rate of six to eight tons per acre, an
nually, or combination of nitrate of
soda and acid phosphate at the rate Of
six pounds of the former and eight to
ten pounds of the latter. These recon-
mendatiOns are for mature trees. For
young trees the amounts may be re-
duced approximately in proportion to
the area covered.
1.-THE manure may be applied ut any
time during the spring. 1t is much
slower in it's action, but probably it is
useful in wider range of conditions
than the commercial application indi-
Gated.
Nitrate of soda will materially i'm
prove the crop Of the current year by
increasing the percentage. of fruit set
and frost resistance. One-half the ap.
plication should be made just as
growth starts, and the remainder u

SPRAYS NEEDED FOR
SOUND APPLE CROP
CodIing Worms Can Be Killed if
Poison Is at CaIY End
When Insects First Enter.

Freedom from worms in apples de-
pends upon spraying with lime-sulphur
and arsenate of lead just after the
blossoms fall. Ohio experiment sta
ton men say that 20 to So per cent of
the first brood of codling worms go
into the apple at the calyx end at this
time, and that these worms can be
killed if poison is there when they
enter and take their first meal.
The spray recommended by the sta
ton is made of one part of CONNER
cial concentrated lime-sulphur (not
powdered sulphur compounds) to Al
parts Of water, along with three
pounds of arsenate of lead paste to 90
gallons of the mixture. A liberal ap-
plication that bathes the leaves and is
driven into the cup of every blossom
insures apples practically free from
worms. If plant lice, or aphids, are
present one part of nicotine sulphate to
700 of spray will kill them.
Trees Is feet high require from three
to five gallons of spray; those 20 feet
high, from to u gallons, and those
25 to 80 feet tall, from Is to 20 gal
Ions. The spraying should begin wher
90 per cent of the petals have faller
and before the weight of the fruit has
turned the cups toward the ground
Ten days after bloom is given as thu
outer limit of time when the spraying
can be done satisfactorily.

TWO MEN FIGHT DEvILFISH
Engage in Life and Death Struggle for
Two Hours When Ocean Monster
Finally Succumbs.

Richard Hernage and Olaf Oak had
an experience with a devilfish that
they are not likely to forget. The bat
tie was fought ten miles out at sea,
off Malibu Point, Cal.
The men were fishing from a 30
foot gasoline launch when they sud-
denly became aware of the tentacles
of the fish encircling the boat. They
tried with bare hands to throw the
tentacles off, fearing that the boat
might be dragged to the bottom. In
stead the fish pinioned their arms.
Oak had sheath knife in his pocket
and Harnage seized boat hook. the
only weapon within reach. In the lin
tied space they hacked at the tentacleS
until they got out of reach and by
maneuvering Oak got an AK and fought
the fish until it was subdued. The bat
tie lasted two hours and the men were
so exhausted they were unable to start
the engine.
As they regained their strength they
rowed the boat to shore and then
sought doctors for their poisoned and
wounded bodies. What was left of
the devilfish still clinging to the boat
weighed 13O pounds.

Kiev, through whose streets many
armies have passed during the pres
ent war, is In many ways beautiful
town, and especially is this true Of
the old quarter, which is built on Il
range of hills and bluffs overlooking
the vast low-lying country that
stretches out, like the sea, to the sky
line on the opposite side of the Dnie-
per. In the center of the old town
stands the Cathedral of Saint Sophia,
the oldest cathedral in the Russian
empire, with renowned golden cupOla,
q noted landmark for many miles
around; whilst the main street, the
Kreshchatik, contains many fine mod
ern buildings. Then Kiev is a great
educational center. 1t ranks in fact in
this respect next to Moscow and Pc
trograd. It has been called the "Jeru.
salem of Russia" and is still the cen
ter for the sugar industry in Russia
as we'll as for the general trade of the
entire region round about.

KEEP TWO PATROLS IN AIR
Entente Allies Keep Huge FlotiIIaS Of
AirpIanes Operating At Diff
ferent Levels

To maintain their aerial supremacy
along the western front, taken as a
whole, the entente armies employ huge
iotillas Of airplanes operating up and
down the lines at q height OF 5000 feet
for one patrol and 10000 or $1,000 feet
for the other, Lieut.. g. L. Faulkner, r.
F. C., writes in the Scientific American.
II is the duty Of the higher patrol to
prevent German machines from coming
over the lines at great heights and
sweeping down on the unsuspecting
patrols flying many thousand feet be-
low.
Indeed, the purpose of the two pa
trolls is TO cooperate in preventing any
German airman from crossing the lines
and securing photographs and valuable
information concerning the disposition
Of defensive works, artillery and the
movement of troops. The entente
forces on a given front may be NOV
ing up troops; they may be engaged in
extensive railroad operations; they
may be building additional trenches ;
they may be constructing new gun EN-
placements-all this they may be do
ing, yet it is imperative that the enemy
be kept from knowing what is taking
place in back of the lines so that he
will not surmise where the next attack
| is to be launched.
This, in sum, is the military STRAIT
egy of the modern battle, and the gen
eral staff knows very little regarding
enemy movements without the aid OF
the flying corps.
