NO GUN FIRING HEARD, .#. .t.
 OFF COAST OF CAPE. COD.
Fact Officially Announced at the Charleston Navy Yard.

Boston, April 1s.-It was officially announced at the navy yard late today that no credence was placed in reports from three coast guard stations on Cape Cod that heavy Eunf1re had been heard off the coast. The positive statement was made that there had been .--no~i navaI~ engagement and that American warships had not exchanged salutes with foreign vessels.
 The previous announcement that heavy gun firing had been heard dur ing the morning was also issued off1 Lially at the navy yard. It was based on reports from Cape Cod received by Lieut.. E. c. B1akeslee, in charge of the naval radio district.
 Newspaper correspondents at points on the cape reported that they had not I-eard any gun firing and that they knew nothing of it except from the bulletins issued by the naval authori ties.
 The statement discrediting the first official announcement was issued after the navy yard radio station had been in communication with the patrol fleet off the coast. No information of any firing was obtained from ships at sea, :he authorities ysaidy- adding that coast guard stations had sent in no addi- tional reports.
 Naval. officers who were asked to explain the probable origin of the morning reports, which. according to the official announcement, came inde- pendently from three coast. guard sta tions. said they were unable to offer any suggestion as to what might have been heard at these stations.

SPRAYING NOW FOR
 PEACH LEAF CURL

Orchardists who have been troubled with peach leaf curl and are anxious to free themselves from this disease for the coming year should start their campaign immediately. The fungus winter on the surface of the branches fore the tips show green in the spring because as soon the leaf buds open this disease works it's way into the It is too late to attempt any control measures after the buds have Startcs to grow.
 4 lime sulphur solution of winter strength is the best means of combs l. ing this disease. One gallon of the lime sulphur solution and nine gallons of water gives the proper mixture. Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 may be used in place of the lime sulphur but since the latter also controls the San Jose scale. it. is preferred. In spraying for this disease, great care must be taken that every part of the tree be wet down.
 The peach leaf curl is injurious be- cause of it's, effect on the foliage dur- ing the summer. The leaves first curl and become thick and crinkled turn to bright red or yellow and fall from the tree. Often times the affected tree looses all it's foliage by Tnidsum- mer and is weakened by growing new leaves. The tWigs also are affected by the fungus. They become SWelled and misshapen at the tips and later die off. Connecticut Agricultural College.

MAKE EVERY MOVE COUNT.
Plant Good Seeds and Get the Jump
 On Plant Diseases.

With the present conditions which exist in the supply of our food prod : ucts and, the Likelihood of a great de- rnand for food not only by. our own people in this country, but in other countries, the farmer must utilize every means availa ble to increase the efficiency of labor, to save time and prevent wastes. Practically every year acres and acres of grain have been planted with seed that is far from being strong in vitality. Seed has been planted that will not ger nlinate. Seed has been planted that is diseased. The result is not the con- servation of time and labor. and in = creased yields. but the reverse.
 The farmer should test his seeds and see that every seed that is plant ed will not carry disease that will lessen the yield. Thus the league wishes to urge that all grain seed be tested thoroughly, that all potatoes be treated for diseases. where treatment s effective and where the disease cannot be obliterated by treatment every effort should be made to select that seed which is not infected. F,armaidchyde and corrosive subiimate diseases of potatoes which lessen the yield considerab bly. All potato seed should thus be treated with one of these solutions. Now Is the time to select. test and treat all seeds.

SEED OATS EARLY.

Results at various experiment sta- tlonS have shown that the earlier oats are seeded the larger the yield will be and the less will be: the possi- bliity. of attack from various diseases. Every farmer should make an effort to get his seed treated with fornfalde- hyde to prevent oat smut from de- stroyins the grain and get his soil in proper condition to. seed down inn mediatefy. Due to the shortage of grains, it will probably be 2 wise policy for every farmer to raise his cats for seed rather, than. to cut them for hay. If this is carried out, care should be taken not to rob the grass plants of excessive, amount. of no;s- ture. It is a common practice to seed with three bushels of oats per acre when seeding with grass. Frequent ly the results are that whereas a

 Sweet Corn-Our garden as planned will leave room for two rows of sweet corn across the garden. The first rtw, however, can be only two or three feet from the Squashes and pumpkins. but the corn will not be affected ma terially by the vines running over into t, cultivation will probably cease be- fore they interfere.
 One TOW of sweet corn might be half and half-early White Cob Cory and Golden Bantam. The last row could be of some later variety like Concord, Metropolitan, Country Gen tieman, or Early Evergreen.
 These fill all the spaces in this gar den, and we have planted no spinach. This might be put in. in several places as it is planted early and is out of the way sooner. Thus, for instance. it would not interfere materially if sofe h in the rows where the corn is to Ee planted. If not all out by time to plant the corn, just cut out places about every. one, and one-half foot and plant in the corn. It could also go in the bean rows, although I should prefer the former

SUCCESSFUL INCUBATION.
No Secret If There Is Coed Equip ment and Attention Is Paid to De- tails.

If we attempt to take lessons from the old hen it would perhaps seem that we ought to air GEES in the incu-
 bator each day. but the hen's primary object in leaving the nest is to get food and not on account of the egEs Experiments show us that airing eggs tends to slow down the life activity in the eggs, but does not add anything Of value to the developing embryo
 It is we'll to test eggs as soon as the embryo can be distinguished This means in about five days with white eggs and seven days with brown eggs. All clear eggs and those with blood rings may be taken out The second
 lest may be made on the fourteenth day to remove all dead germs.
 The moisture problem in incubation IS a hard nut to crack. Incubators care of themselves. Where incubators
 without moisture pans are operated in a dry atmosphere. moisture can be most easily added by. placing a sponge
 or the eg tray. The higher up in the
 incu hator the moisture is placed the greater the heat will be, consequ uently
 evaporation will be more rapid A sponge aids evaporation by increasing
 the radia6ng surface. If the size of
 the air cell is used as an indication of
 the moisture in the egg, the eggs may

 When the first eggs begin to pip, the incubator should be left alone until
 the hatch is over. Tine temperature may run up little, but unless the chickens begin to plant, it will do no harm. An incubator should always be kept dark while the chicks are hatch ing. Chicks need to lie down and. rest after the exertion Of kicking out of the yUil xS~ can see daylight Baciilat.y white diarEhea spreads very rapidily from fected droppinss in the incubator. This may be largely avoided by dark ness. Chicks are better if kept in the incubator at least S6 hours after the hatch is over or until they are we'll aired o6: and begin to get hungry. After the eg tray has been removed a little fresh air may be admitted by leaving the door open about the width of match.

This should be applied at the rate of one gallon of lime sulphur to nine gal Ions of water and should go on be- fore the buds begin to swell. This is for scale and leaf curl. If not ptun- ing has been done it will be highly desirable to scrape the old loose bark from the trunk and larger branches and also remove all dead, wood be- fore applying this spray. Ten days from now it will probably be too. late for lime sulphur. Now is the time to arrange for the calyx spray to be applied after the petals fall from the apple blossoms.
