PREPARING AND USING
BORDEAUX MIXTURE

The solution which is used general
ly for spraying plants to prevent the
attack of diseases is that known rs
Bordeaux mixture. This solution IL
made of quick lime, copper sulphate
(bluestone) and water in the follow
ing proportions:
Copper sulphate (bluestone) "A lbs.
Quick Lime ................. a lbs.
The copper sulphate Is dissolved IN
twenty-five gallons of water in d
wooden vessel. Metallic vessels
should not be used as the solution
will be ruined by the action of the
copper sulphate on the metal. Usual
ly the copper sulphate is put in a
cloth sack and suspended in the wa
ter 1t will all 90 into solution in
about twenty-four hours.
The lime is slaked slowly in a small
amount of water, and after it is COM
pletely slaked enough water is added
to make twenty-five gallons.
The copper sulphate and lime solu-
tons will keep indefinitely if they
are kept separate. They should not
be mixed until the day the spraying
is to be done.
The Bordeaux mixture is obtained
by mixing equal amounts Of the above
two solutions. These should be mix
ed in wooden tub or barrel. The
best mixture is obtained by pouring
the two solutions at the same time
into a third vesse! The solutions
should be thoroughly stirred just be-
fore mixing.
The Bordeaux mixture should be
thoroughly stirred just before pour.
ing into the spray pump. 1t should
also be strained to get out any solid
particles that might clog the nozzle
The Bordeaux mixture should be
put upon the plants in the form of a
very fine spray. In order to obtain
this spray, regular spray pump
should be used.
Plants should be sprayed at inter
walls Of week or ten days durina
the periods that infection is liable
to occur Bordeaux mixture will not
cure plant that is already infected
with a disease; it will only preven'
the infection.
Bordeaux mixture will prevent such
diseases as occur upon the leaves 81
plants Examples of such diseases
are: cantaloupe mildcw, onion mil
dew, early blight Of tomatoes, eg;
plant leaf spot, rose leaf spot, etc. 7
will not prevent diseases that attacl
the plants through the soil, as for OK
ample, tomato wilt. cotton wilt. let

WHY NOT SAND-CLAY ROADS I!

Just now in about all sections of the
country it would seem the improve
ment of roads is being given cOnsidera-
ton. 1t is cOmmendable movement
and the greatest Of all the blessings
that have followed the coming of the
automobile.
Good roads, and better roads from
generation to generation. are going to
prove big factor in developing this
vast new country. In truth. they are
already doing so. But we can't always
have as good roads as we would like,
and 1t has in the past proved a strain
to have good roads at all in some sec
lions during the whole. year. Every
one knows they are not here. Our scat
tered population does not permit Of 1t.
As we concluded the foregoing para
graph we. Of course. had i'll mind the
roads Of BoSSier Parish. and that
prompts thought of il stretch Of road
over which the writer twice drove last
Saturday-tlat leading from Haugh-
ton to Bellevue. From Haughton to
Fillmore there is Il graded road with
graveled surface. 1t is perhaps in
better condition to-day than any like
stretch of road in the parish. due 10
doubt to light travel over it, Leaving
Fillmore one ut once encounters long
hills of red clay. and some miles fur
ther Oh there are deep >andbeds. Dur
ing long dry seasons once the red hill
roads are packed and smooth they are
fine. but the sandbedS then become Il
nuisance; during rainy seasons it Is
easy enough to pass over the sandbeds
with Il reasonably heavy load, but the
long. red hills then become an eyeSore
to all good transfers.
Along the full length Of this stretch
of road from Fillmore to Bellevue)
there are but few people and. of
course hut little accumulated prop
erty that may be assessed for any pur-
pose. So there is but little hope ut
present for Il road of the best type.
What may he said of that section of
| the parish is also true of Il number Of
others. Then wouldn't good sand-clay
roads. which could. by reason of the
materials being present. he much more
cheaply constructed than those of
gravel surface. he the solution of the
road problem for the present. Mile
after mile there are. alternately. both
the sand and the clay. Give the road
way good drainage. mix the sand and
clay half and half. say to Il depth OF
four or five inches. give it good
crown-and there is your gOOd road
The s;ind-clay road has many advO.
Gates. and some 20 so far as to say
that it is as good and as permanent
for light traffic as the road with d
graveled surface. Such roadway
won't become ''mushy" because of the
presence Of the sand, and the SAND
won't wash away because of the clay
serving as a good binder. Also, there
is little dust from such Il road.
Again. there are other good road
