CUTTING THE SPRAYING COST
WAYS of Reducing the Expense Is L
Buy Materials in Quantities and
Use Substitutes.

Buying in quantities and the use
of substitutes offer ways Of reducing
the cost of spraying materials, which
has increased markedly since last
year.
An important saving usually can De
effected in the consolidation of orders
for insecticides from neighborhood
or their purchase through fruit grow
ers' associations or other cooperative
buying organizations.
The importance of this saving Is
realized when it is remembered That
the difference in cost of certain In
secticides, as arsenate of lead, In
small packages at retail stores over
the cost in larger quantities from man
ufacturers or jobbers often Is 100 pei
cent.

heeled dangerously, spinning upon Its
left planes as upon an axis.
Instinct alOne-and bit of luck TO
boot-helped Patria right the ma
chine.
But when she had n" 'ompliShed
that, she rode alone; the observers
seat was empty.
Resoutely forcing herself not to
think of that poor hulk of a body
dropping like a plummet to a death
which would render it unrecogniZable,
shapeless, featureless pulp, the girl
swung the biplane round and headed
for home. Two hours later she de-
scended in her aviation field and was
helped down by Donald Parr. From
this one she learned, succinctly, what
had happened.
Pillsburys force, after a night and
n half day of fruitleSs scouting, had
fallen afoul of two mOtOr-cars filled
with japanese and Mexican officers,
northbound from the secret encamp-
ment for reconnaissance along the
border. Chief among these officers
were Baron Huroki and General Nogi.
The car containing Nogi had broken
through the resistance offered by the
cov-punchers and fled nOrthward,
hotlv hunted as Patria had seen. The
two cow-punchers who had taken the
short cut had arrived at the bridge
inst in time to explode a mine be
meath the car as il careered dOwnhil
toward the bridge. Somehow Nog
had e;caped destruction in that bust
ness: hut he was alone in this respect
So it was Nogi who had been car
ried back to his command by Patrla
In the meantime Huroki had beer
captured and questioned by the COW
punchers: had protested utter ignor

used $500 baskets which sold ut 40
cents To 81 each. The results in each
instance were generally profitable and
satisfactory.
Several styles, types and sizes Of
packages We're employed. Some used
cartons holding l. or l. apples in in
dividual compartments, like egg Boxes.
one big grower used a similar type
of box holding either 30 or 100 fruit.
These are made with compartments Of

two are mixed together, ground into
flour, and made into paste, which is

The drone of the motor sounded clear

Behind it half a dozen exasperated

said q. j. Wardle, the new representa-

day. He was asked about the labor
unrest which has been much talked
about in the newspapers Of late.
Here and there" he said "in this or

some signs Of unrest are noticeable, it is
true. But such unrest is slowly yet ap-
preciably giving way before the new spirit
which is beginning to animate both sides
in the treatment OF labor problems.
The great necessity OF the times is
that the new spirit Of sympathy, forbear-
ance and understanding should be more
and more diffused among all grades con-
nected with our industries. 1t should be
equally the spirit in which employers
listen to their employees. Effort must also
be made to insure It's permeating into ev-
