A HIRED MAN WHO
 PROVED A MONEY MAKER

The following is from press bulle- tin issued by the Connecticut Agricul- tural college:
 A farmer at Killingworth, Conn, in vested S7.75 with a clever young man and in less than eight months received $135 on his investment.
 No. the stock isn't for sale but he will let you in on the secret.
 The farmer was owner of an apple orchard that had not yet produced marketa ble fruit The trees had nev- CT been sprayed and the fruit was Wormy, diseased and unstable. The county agent of Middlesex county, MT Fay, suggested that the orchard be turned over to him for spraying demonstration.
 c. M. Codding, field agent in ento- mology for the Connecticut Agricultu- raI college extension service. was call ed in to give the demonstration. It was in the early spring of 1918 and the trees were treated to a delayed dor mant spray, a solution of lime sulphur being used at the rate of five gallons of lime sulphur to forty-five gallons of water. The purpose was to control the San Jose scale and certain fungous diseases.
 Later in the spring, when the petals were falling from the blossoms, 8 sec OIQ spraying, the 'calyX spray was given. Two pounds of powdered ar senate of lead in combination with Bordeau mixture (4-4-50 formula) was used. The arse-ate of lead, being an 1 insectitude was to control insect pests such as the coddling moth llile the l Bordeaux mixture was to control fun 1 gous diseases.
 Materials for the two sprayings cost SITS. Last fall the owner harvested more than one hundred bushels of mar l ketable fruit and sold what he could
 spare for $135.
 No commercial fruit grower would think of leaving his orchards unspray- 1 ed but farmers with a few trees are
 prone to overlook this important duty 4 letter to the farm bureau of you
 county or to the Connecticut Agricul- | tural college at Storrs will bring in 1 formation as to how it should be done

URGES ROAD WORK NOW IN HOLLAND COUNTY

County Agent Ernest E. Tucker is urging that as much pressure as pos sible be brought upon town select men or road agents in Holland coun- ty to begin scraping roads at once for several reasons:
 First-Dirt can be moved with half the labor now while soft and unsettled.
 Second-While ruts will not, of course, remain ooliterated, nRther do they at any season, and each sue cessive filling and packing makes them more compact and moro able to sustain loads.
 Third-Tte time to work on roads is just the time to leave farming land alone, for to work ground when wet. hardens and compacts some, spelling it's porosity; this is very harmful to cultivated land, and just what we desire on a road, so as to shed water. Proper drainage is the most important thing in road build ing.
 Fourtla-Teams can work better while cool weather is here, and the work does not interefere as much with planting.
 Fifth-It is mighty disheartening after roads get all settled to have them ripped up once more and have to travel through more soft stuff, es- pecially when it costs more to do the same job.
 Sixth-We have just that much longer season of good roads. Fall is such a delightful season largely be- cause about September the roads ar, at their best, being put in readiness for winter. On temporary or dir roads, the first big thaw of winte. gives us bad roads once r1ore snj we have to begin all over. The light drag used often at time: when farm lands can, or should no 1 be worked, means g whole lot to bet l ter roads; and good roads put u. closer to markets, our friends and fin | ancial prosperity.

and asserted that it extended to all

the league before a crowded session

ticle by article, and laying bare the
dangers to America that he saw In an
entangling foreign alliance.
