ORCHARDsNOTES FOR
MONTH OF MARCH
EVERY FARMER SHOULD SPRAY
HIS FRUIT TREES DURING
THIS MONTH.

This is the month for the so-called
"First Summer Spray in nearly ali
counties. For the benefit of the fruit
this is the most important of all
sprays. If only one spraying is to be
made, the results will be better from
this than from any other single
spraying.
For peaches, spray to keep worms
and scab controlled. Everyone knows
the peach and plum worm or eur
culio." Scab is a disease and causes
tan colored spots on the peach. When
bad one side of the peach is smaller,
hard, green and does not ripen; the
flesh may be cracked. Either scab
or worms alone or together cause the
fruit to drop To control these two
pests make the First Summer
Spray" on peaches as follows: Self
boiled lime-sUlphur and arsenate Of
lead or observation-disclosures dry lime
sulphur one pound, .arsenate of lead,
powdered, one pound, water so gal
Ions. Cover the peaches. Make this
spray ten to twenty days after bloom
falls. To be exact, just as soon as
most of the brown shucks have been
shed from the small peaches. Do not
try to drench the trees, keep the noz-
zle moving. Cover all leaves and es-
pecially the fruit, but stop before
leaves drip. This coats the fruit and
foliage and gives best protection.
Do not forget to pillow the peach
orchard and plant something in the
middles. Choose Brabham or Iron
peas to shade and build up the land
The Apple Tree Also Needs
/ Attention.
/ In spraying use p to pounds of
Sherwin- WI Jams dry lime sulphur
with one pound powdered arsenate OF
lead added to so gallons of water
Make an effort to spray the young ap-
pies. Never mind the foliage. Dc

beans for shade ana soil improve
ment.

This is made Of self-boiled lime sui.
phur spray as follows: Place in q
barrel 8 to 10 pounds of fresh burn
ed builders lime and start shaking
with hot water. When shaking add s
i pounds flowers of sulphur and allow
| it to cook itself for five minutes. Add
water enough to prevent the lime
from burning from time to time.
Orange streaks are signs of over
heating. After four minutes if the
mixture tends to to turn red add
enough cold water to stop ali action.
Strain into the spray barrel and make
up to so gallons of spray. There is
no substitute.
For the second spraying use the
same as before. Make both these
sprayings, peaches and apples, for the
second summer spray two or three
weeks after the first summer spray.
If the weather is rainy wait two
weeks. If it is fairly dry, wait three
weeks. f. E. BLACKBURNS.

for one year in the penitentiary or
both, Mr.. Blalock says.
The tax called for an additional
cost of 80 cents per thousand on CT
garettes, which will increase the lat
est prices of cigarettes slightly less
than 10 per cent. Some dealers have
charged as much as 80 per cent. in
crease, and if they charge this to in
creased taxes on cigarettes and other
forms of tobacco, Mr.. Blalock said,
they are guilty of violation of sec
ton 1919, internal revenue law, and
will be prosecuted.
This section does not alone pertain
to tobacco, but to any article offer
ed for sale or lease. The tobacco
weed being the main taxable article
is the reason why the law pertains
principally to tobacco dealers.

NOW is THE TIME TO TOP
DRESS SMALL GRAIN CROPS
Results of Experiments Made at the
Georgia Station.

Now is the time to top-dress small
grains. Experiments with top-dress-
ers are now being conducted at the
Georgia Experiment station. The
two most common top-dressers are
sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of
soda. Seventy-five pounds of sui
phate of ammonia contains as much
plant food as one hundred pounds
of nitrate of soda. At the present
prices a pound Of nitrogen is cheap
er in the form of sulphate of am
monia than in the form of nitrate
of soda.
The writer has made experiments
comparing the two with cotton, corn
and oats, fortified and unfertilized.
The addition of top-dressers to oats
is particularly effective. Experiments
indicate that it is profitable to fer
tilize oats before planting and to
top-dress early in March.
Do not apply the top-dresser while
the blades of the plant are wet. A
rapid method of applying the top
dresser is from horseback, carrying
the material in a handle basket on
the pommel of the saddle.

live trout just ahead of him. He
stopped his machine and took the
fish captive. 1t weighed about half

The presence of the fish in the

that it was en- route in a low

Bomb Explosion and Revolver Bat
Ties Feature Lawrence Outburst

Lawrence, Mass, April S.-Riotlng
marked by promiscuous firing by
strike synpathizers and police open
ed the tenth week Of the textile
strike here yesterday. The outbreak
occurred in the vicinity of the Ever
ett mill. shortly before Z o'clock, a
few hours after the city had been
stirred by the explosion Of bomb
in a tenement house in the same
neighborhood.
Early reports indicated that no one
was wounded by the shooting, al
though several rioters and policemen
were injured by sticks. stones and
clubs.
The rioting started when few
strike sympathizers began throwing
stones at mill windows, and then
shifted their attack to policeman
who sought to quiet them. The crowd
grew rapidly. and the little squad
Of officers called for reserves. City
Marshal Timothy O'Brien responded
with large force and read the
riot act.
Then the police. finding their
clubs ineffective, drew their pistols,
and their shots were answered by
others from the crowd. Men and
women also appeared at windows
with missiles.
Women and children were active on
the picket lines during the morning.
It had been announced Sunday night
that the children Of strikers would be
kept from school Monday becacse of
the alleged anti-strikn activities by
teachers. This morning many wo-
men appeared as pickats, accomran-
led by two and three children, most
Of them Of primary schol age. In
the mill districts. also. other women,
with stones in their hands, drove
away children who were on their way
to school,
One striker, arrested for alleged

GERMANS FELL FOR DECOf
,Foch's Faxed Plans Reached Them by
Strategy Of Americans.

Boston, April 9.-Officials at the
Of the Department OF the
Northeast vouched for a story told
by a major who arrived on the Aga
memnon yesterday of how two colonies
Of the American army assisted in an
important bit # strategy in the s..
Mihiel district. The major, whose name
the department declined to reveal, SAID
that the Germans learned of the ORR
pina plan to start the drive on Sep.
tcmber ), 1918.
General Foch then had elaborate
plans drawn up, purporting to Sc:
forth details of an impending attacl;
on Belfort. These plans were intrusted
10 two American colonels, who took
them 10 a town where there were
known to be German spies. While they
were there the plans disappeared 10:
time. That they had fallen into Ger
man hands became evident when the
Germans withdrew large forces from
parts of the st. Mihiel salient anc
massed them about Belfort.
This diversion assisted greatly II
carrying out the real plan of attack
which was instituted on September l.
