prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture)
As result of the present high price
Of copper sulphate the principal active
Ingredient in bordeaux mixture, many
farmers who are compelled to combat
such diseases as late blight of potato,
black rot of grape and bitter rot and
blotch of apple are asking the United
States department of agriculture,
"What can we Use as a substitute for
bordeaux EiiXture?" There is no SUBJ
stltute. according to specialists Of the
epartment-bordeaux mixture is the
only reliable preventive for such dis
eases. Methods of calculating the
value Of commercial bordeaux mix
lures have, therefore, been published
in Farmers Bulletin 994, copy Of
which can be obtained from the de-
partment at Washington.
Every package of commercial bor-
deaux mixture carries label on
which is given it's content of copper.
This is usually given in percentage,
and by multiplying this percentage by
393 the result gives the amount Of
crystallized copper sulphate, the bull
letin explains. If the percentage is
given in terms of copper oXid, multiply
by 3.14; if in copper hydroxid, multi
ply by 2.56. In order to calculate the
copper sulphate when diluted ready
for application, multiply the number
of pounds of the concentrated bor-
deaux mixture to be added to so gal
Ions of water by the percentage Of
copper sulphate.
Physical properties, such as adhe-
siveness, texture, spreading quality
and rate of settling, also are impor-
tant factors in determining the etfi-
cheney of bordeaux mixtures. A prep
aration containing large amount Of
copper, but coarse and granular in
texture, with poor spreading and stick
ing qualities, cannot be expected to
give good results in cases where a
good fungicide is required. To test
the physical properties, dilute the mix
ture and place small quantity in
glass tube, and watch the speed with
which the solids settle to the bottom.
If the copper is held in suspension for
a great length Of time the physical
properties of the mixture may be re-
garded as good.
In order to reduce the cost of spray
material some growers are using
weaker mixture than is commonly ad-
vised for the various diseases which
require bordeaux treatment. When
the disease attacks are mild Il bor-
deaux mixture containing considerably
less copper sulphate than is commonly
advised may give very good control,

provided its physical properties are
good and 1t is thoroughly applied, the
bulletin states. When infection is Sc
we're. weak mixtures should be avoided,
for the resultant loss when they are
used may much more than Offset the
amount saved by using the proper
strength. Spraying is question OF
insurance and the grower must decide
whether he wishes to insure his crop
wholly or only partially by the use of
bordeaux mixture containing sufFi-
cient copper.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
 HAIR ID OARKEN II
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Keep Her Locks Dark, Glossy
 Beautiful

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good. even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the greatest advantage.
 Nowadays, though. we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular be- cause nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time: by morning the gray hair disappears. but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap- plications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abund- ance which is so attractive.

 STAMPS IN NEW WAY

 The government has adopted a new process in the manufacture of the cur rent postage stamps of the 1-cent and S-cent denominations, aud the war is responsible. For the first time Ill Americas history surface printed franking labels are being made at the bureau of engraving and printing at Washington as compared with the line engraved method used for the turn ing out of the stamps of the values other than the ones and the thrces.
 The pyrites which the government has been able 10 obtain lately age of inferior grade, and, as this product is the chief one in the inks used for the printing of stamps, the ink itself mas been of poorer quality, containing grit which has destroyed the surface of the steel plates so fast that the supply If the ones and threes was threatened with exhaustion. The new surface printing way of making the stamps, involving the use of the camera. is only temporary, pending the receipt of sup plies of pyrites of the proper grade, but the stamps which arc turned out in this ney manner meanWhiic furnish new varieties for phi.atelists.

 He recalled vividly a visit by Wash ington to his masters home when he was a boy and Lafayette's tour of the United States in 1924 was fresh in his memory. He was scrupulously honest and often walked many miles to repay small debts. All his children were dead forty years ago, and he was cared for in his last year by a granddaughter who is now 70 years old.
