SAVE EGGS

Farmers and poultry keepers in
the United States each to preserve
for home use only, one case-30 dog

and sell one case to nearby con-
sumner to preserve. The following
processes may be used:

RED CROSS MATERIAL

The following statement from At

Cross materials is self-explanatory.
I'VE wish that we could supply
you with the materials YOU need, but
as you no doubt know, the supply sit
uation for the past two months has
been most distressing. and is still
very unsatisfactory. Our bureau of
supplies has done everything within
its power to secure materials, but
with little success. The government
now has the matter in hand and just
as they can get it adjusted, we will
have plenty of materials for our
chapters. Until then we can only ask
them to be as patient as possible"

PROTECTIVE TREATMENT FOR
FRUIT TREES

Fruit trees, in common with all
the higher living organisms, are con-
stantly preyed upon by insects and
by vegetable diseases. Among the
former are the curculio of the peach
and plum, the coddlirg moth which
causes wormy apples. ard the suck
ing insects such as plant lice and the
scales. Scale insects can only be
controlled by winter applications of
lime-sulphur or scalecide sprayed so
as to reach every part Of the trees.
The plant lice can be easily overcome
by spraying with a very strong solu-
tion of tobacco, such as black-leaf 40,
which is sprayed on when the first
insects appear. All the biting in
sects, including curculio. coddlins
moth and the many forms of cater
pliers, are controlled by spraying
with arsenate of lead, which should
ne applied when the fruit Is f1rst
formed. Plant diseases such as the
peach leaf curl, peach rot, apple scab,
bitter rot of apples, ETC., require fire.
duent sprays from tre time the. fruit
is, first formed until 1t approaches
maturity.
For peaches, plums and grapes the
best remedy is diluted lime-sulphur
solution which should be sprayed on
the trees at intervals of three week
from the time the fruit is first form
ed. Early varieties of peaches will
require two or three applications,
and late varieties from three to FIVE.
In spraying the apples the first two
sprays can be made of the self-boiled
lime-sulphur solution. and subsequen,
sprays should be of bordeaux mix
ture. Late varieties will require as
many as six applications for best re-
suits, but with almost all kinds three
are righlv beneficial.
Bulletins on spraying, whicr can
be hal of the county agent or by ad-
dressing the Division of Extension
at Knoxville, Tenn, give full details
fir making and applying the various
spray mixtures.
It is impossible to prevent diseas-
es in fruit trees by anv system of
vaccination. irresponsible parties
are working in various parts of Tor
nessee, defrauding the people by vac
cinating fruit trees. The public
should be warned against emnloving
such men. JOSEPH JACOB
County Agent.
