WINTER SPRAYING FOR CURL
Disease Sufficiently Abundant in Sec.
tons of Missouri to Do Injury
to Peach Trees.

During last summer the college of
agriculture at Columbia received a
good many inquiries concerning a dis
ease which was affecting the leaves
of peach trees. Samples of this dis
ease, examined by DR.. j. G. Written,
professor of horticulture, showed that
the trouble was leaf curl. Observa-
lions on the part of the men doing ex-
tension work from the department of
horticulture showed also that in a few
sections of the state, leaf curl was suf-
ficiently abundant to do considerable
injury to peach trees.
Peach-leaf curl first makes It's APP
pearance shortly after the blossoming
season of the peach. The disease is
caused by fungus which grows in the
leaves. The affected part of the leaf
has thickened, pulled appearance
that Is more or less curled or wrinkled.
If the weather Is cool particularly, a
reddish color is likely to occur along
the border of some of these pulled and
thickened areas. Injury to the leaves
is likely to continue until some time
in June when the diseased portions,
for the most part, turn black, soft, and
badly-infected leaves drop.
1t is not feasible to check this leaf
curl during the summer, once II has
made its appearance on the leaves.
To prevent its temperance the COM
ing spring, the tree should be sprayed
properly during the dormant season
this winter or in early spring. Lime
sulphur is the spray most commonly
used and If properly applied will en-
tirely prevent leaf curl.
In sections where San Jose scale ex-
lists the same spraying which should be
done for the scale will also prevent
leaf curl. This spray consists of one
part commercial lime-sulphur to eight
parts water For San Jose scale and
for leaf curl combined 1t may be ap-
piled to the trees in early winter after
they have become thoroughly dormant,
or In early spring just before the buds
of the tree start to grow. If no San
Jose scale Is present in the orchard and
leaf curl alone is to be sprayer for,
the lime-sulphur may be diluted to one
part of the lime-sulphur to 10 gallons
of water and put on in early spring,
shortly before the trees start growth.

LACK OF SHELTER FOR cows
Exposure to Cold Rains Causes Big
Drop In Milk Production-clean-
illness Is Important.

BY C. II. ECKLES. Missouri College Of
Agricultural
The dairy COW often suffers the most
from exposure to the weather before
real winter has begun. After steady
cold comes the cow is generally
stabbed. Exposure to cold rains Is
often more injurious to the animal
than the colder but dry weather in
winter.
The dairy COW is not like the fat
steer, protected from cold by layer
Of fat. AS a. Jesult, bad weather
causes a big drop in milk production.
So long as the weather is dry 1t Is just
as well to leave the COW outside nights,
but every cold rain should find her
protected.
It is not necessary in the climate or
Missouri to go TO any great expense
on most farms in order that the barn
may be warm. The main thing Is to
have tight walls so there is no draft
or wind, and good roof. Care tnorr
be taken in ARRANGING ale stalls In
the fo=a ~ :. PLATFORM Of the right
Iengtn and a gutter of sufficient depth
to hold the manure. The cleanliness
of the milk depends to considerable
extent upon having the barn built SO
the COW will keep herself clean.

TROUBLE WITH CALF Sc0URS
Overlooking, Sour Milk Pals and IT.
regularity In Feeding are usu-
ally the Causes.

Probably the greatest difficulty with
which the calf feeder has to contend is
scours. Overlooking, sour milk pals,
cold water and irregularity in feeding
are usually the causes, says writer
in Field. AS soon as signs of scours
are noticed it is recommended that the
milk be reduced to one-half, and that
a teaspoonful Of dried blood be added
to the milk fed. No dried blood that
has not been thoroughly sterllized
should be used. In severe cases of
scours, the addition Of one or two eggs
with the dried blood has been found to
be very effective. In severe cases, 1t
is recommended that the calf be given
one or two ounces of castor oil in the
morning which is followed In about II
hours by 10 drops of laudanum and a
teaspoonful of dried blood.

PREVENT GNAWING OF TREES
Simple Way to Keep Mice From Doing
Injury Is to Make Earth Bank
of Few Inches.

The simplest way to stop mice from
gnawing young fruit trees is TO bank
them well with earth six to ten inches
high In the autumn, then tramp the
first snow hard around them so that
the mice cannot easily reach the tree
trunk. Wrapping the trunk with heavy
paper or tying around it lath, pieces
of single or veneer is effective. Many
orchardists use wire guards, which are
made of heavy galvanized wire with
four or five meshes to the inch. These
will last for several years.

PRESIDENT DENIED
RIGHT TO ARM SHIPS
SlxTY-FOuRTH CONGRESS DIES
WITHOUT PASSING LAW
ASKED BY WILSON.
EXTRA SESSION NECESSARY
Senator la Toilette Leads Small
Group In Filibuster That Kills
Chance for Vote.

Washington-Twelve senators, led
by Senator La Toilette and encour-
aged by Senator Stone, Democratic
chairman of the foreign relations COM
mittee, in filibuster lasting through
out 26 hours of continuous session,
defied the will of an overwhelming
majority in congress and denied to
the president a law authorizing him
to arm American merchant ships to
meet the German submarine menace.
The majority of United States sena-
tors favored the passage of the senate
bill authorizing the president Of the
United States to arm American
merchant vessels, similar bill hav-
ing already passed the house by a
vote of 403 to Is.
Under the rules Of the senate, al

officers of the big distributing COM
panies here said they expected to

There is talk of resisting the increase
on the ground that the Dairymen's
league is an illegal combination under
the antitrust laws. When the dairy
men raised prices six months ago the
big city dealers fought the league and
for several days the community ap-
pcared to be threatened with milk
famine.

PRUSSIAN FOOD
SITUATION GRAVE
Controller Says People Eat Too
Much and There is Danger
of Famine.
SPEECH CAUSES SENSATION

London, March 9.-The Prussian
food controller, DR.. Georg Michaelis,
made in the Prussian Diet yesterday
what the Koelnische Zeitung calls a
serious speech on the food situation,
says a Reuter- dispatch from Amster-
dam. Dr.. Michaelis declared the dis
tress was such that a more severe
state OF things, especially in the large
industrial centers, could hardly be i'm
agined. He indicated the possibility
that all surplus stocks of grain would
be exported and said that very rad
ical measures were needed to enable
the people to hold out until next
year.
I'VE have in the third year of the
war;" the food controller is quoted as
saying, discovered that among all
sections of the people the general
feeling evinced is not one of that en-
durance for which we had hoped.
This is human nature, but it is highly
deplorable and may have most seri-
Gus results.
Abuse of Bread Tickets.
1--WE have not perceived in the
towns that stern supervision which
is absolutely necessary in the distri-
button OF foodstuffs. There has been
widespread abuse Of bread tickets, en-
failing grave consequences as regards
our stocks. Bread tickets have been
illegally used on such shocking
scale that our entire reserves were
exhausted. So, when potatoes failed
and bread was ordered as substi-
tute, there was none available. Flour
has been similarly reduced, owing TO
similar irregularities in the mills"
DR.. Michaelis concluded by urging
the utmost severity to remedy the
shortcomings, while there was. yet
time. Some of the mills would have
to be closed and the municipalities
deprived Of their autonomous pow
ers. Rationing and requisitioning
must be strictly applied with respect
to eggs, milk, butter, fruit and vege-
tables. He added:
