Much will be gained by making out
the order for fruit trees and sending

customers the best stock they have TO

mend upon better service than When
the order is sent in late when there
is a rush.

CONTROL PEACH LEAF CURL
Caused by FunUous Disease Which
Produces Reddish Colored Dis
tortion-Spray In Winter.

The curling OF the leaves of peach
trees is often caused by a fungous
disease called leaf curl. This fungus
attacks the tissue of the leaf, pro-
duces q reddish colored distortion and
destroys the leaf as a starch-produc-
ing organ. Because of the loss of this
foliage the tree is depleted in Vitality
and the setting of buds for next years
crop greatly reduced.
The fungus becomes active very
early in spring, even before the mid
die of March when the spring opens
early and warm. 1t attacks the swell
ing bud and gets into the tissues be
fore the leaf is unfolded. Therefore

spraying after the disease is noticed
is practically Of no value because the
spray cannot get at the pores of the
fungus. Spraying must be done when
these spots are dormant or in their
winter stage. Therefore the spraying
should be done before the middle OF
March in ordinary seasons or earlier
in seasons which are advanced.
There are a number of fungic1des
which will keep this trouble in check.

FEEDING ANIMALS IN WINTER
Kind of Work Being Performed Has
Much to Do With Ration-Feeder
Should Watch Closely. +

Just as people may require more
heat-producing foods such as meat In
winter than in summer so may AMI
mails need more grain than in Gum"
mer. But the kind of work the AMI
mal does, or whether it is on heavy
1yor,- or no work. has much to do with
the feed of work stock. Cows giving
milk require more protein and carbo-
hvdrates than cows that are dry.
A good feeder should watch his ami
mals very closely and feed what the
animals will clean up and no more.
He should know the relative values OF
foods and then learn the requirements
of his animals. He can soon learn to
roisc feeds economically.
