STRETCHING FENCE
ON STEEL POSTS.

National Crop Improvement service.l
Do not attempt to stretch fence un-
til the concrete about the ends and
corners Is thoroughly set. First un-
roll the fence on the ground with the
bottom bar next to the posts. Trim
the stay wires from the ends of the
fabric. Fasten the bars Of the fence
to the end post, then go to the other
end post and pull as much as possible
Of the slack out Of the fence that Is
lying on the ground. Put in the wood
en- dummy post 6 or 8 feet back Of
the steel end post at the further end
and then insert good heavy wooden
brace, letting one end rest on the brace
collar of the steel brace. Attach the
stretcher bar to the fence so that when
the stretching is done, the stretcher
bar will be four or five feet from the
end Of the steel end post. Attach
the stretcher chain to the dummy post,
working the -stretcher head between
the dummy post and the steel post.
While stretching, lift the fence of
the ground occasionally to relieve the
friction and let the fence distribute
itself evenly. When the fence Is
stretched tight, the fabric is now up
right. Trim out the stay wires SO
that the ends of the fence may be
wrapped about the posts to make a
neat Job. Draw the line wires of the
fence with an end tool which Is made
for this purpose, around the end posts,
twisting the ends back about the same
strand, which Is the best way to fasten

Club Members will
Meet in August

Plans are under way for holding a,
the Louisiana State University thu
fifth annual short course for mem
bers of the boys and girls agricultur.
al clubs Of the State who make the
best records in their work, announces
Professor E. S. Richardson, state
boys and and girls club agent. The
dates of this meeting will be August
IA to Fl, inclusive, beginning about
one week after the close of Farmers
Week.
The annual gathering of boys and
girls at the University for instruc-
tion and entertainment has now be-
come permanent feature of agricul-
tural club work and is eagerly look
ed frward to by hundreds of young
people from all over the State. The
trip to Baton Rouge is awarded as
one of the prizes for successful club
work. The attendance at the fourth
annual meeting, held in August, 1917,
was $50 boys and girls, representing
40 parishes. A large attendance is
expected again this year. The short
course was not held in 1918 on ac-
count of the University dormitories
being occupied by soldiers at the
scheduled time.
The expense of the club members
attending the short courses are paid
by local banks, school boards rail-
way companies and business men,
The scholarships are awarded large
ly by the parish club leaders. The
cost of attending the course is very
low. The students are quarteder in
the University dormitories, for
which no charge is made. Meals are
served at the University cafeteria at
very reasonble rates.

The dead Line at Berne
Observed by Diplomats
Of Enemy Nations
Hotel in Swiss City Patronized
by Representatives of War
ring Countries; No Inter-
mingling of Enemies

Berne, May 6-One of the most
interesting places visited by the
members of the American Red Cross
Commission to Poland on their wav
from Paris to Warsaw was the Bel
levue Palace Hotel at Berne. Swift
zerland. Here friend and foe eat in
the same dining room but now as in
the days of the war they do not
speak. They include Germans. Aus
trians, Turks, Bu1garians. Russians,
Poles American. English and French.
In fact, diplomatic agents from all
the countries of the world were found
in this international hotel. None
appeared in uniform This privilege
was however granted to the Ameri-
can Red Cross party and with the
exception of the uniformed prisoners
of war who passed through Switzer-
land it was the first time that the
American uniform had been seen on
the streets of Berne.
One of the things pointed out to
the Americans was the imaginary
dead line" in the dining room of the
Bellevue, below which representa-
tives of the Allied governments
never passed. German, Austrian,
Turkish and Bulgarian diplomats and
their agents all sat at tables below
the dead line" and the representa-
tives of the Allies all sat above it.
No sign of recognition passed dur
ing the war or even now between
the two parties. During the visit
of the Red Cross party the only sa-
luting was between the American
and Swiss officers.
The Swiss told the Americans that
the line of demaroation extended to
the smoking room and to the eleva-
tor. In the latter cast if liplomat
or representative of the Central
powers entered the elevatir, the AL
lied representative there would at
once get out. The whole atmosphere
of the place was one of suspicion
and distrust and there was very lit
tie loud conversation. This is true
of the Bellevue and the whole of
Berne even today. 1t is the same in
ternational meeting place as in the
days of the war. There is very little
relaxation from the tense moments
not so far back. In fact the restric-
tions placed upon travel through
Switzerland have not been relaxed
one iota from those put into effect
for her own protection when the
great powers went into battle four
years ago.
Berne is still full of Swiss soldiers.
The rehabilitation machinery is at r
work but it is geared not to work
too rapidly. The war has been very
disastrous for the Swiss who not on
|y lost their chief source of subsis-
tence-the tourist traffic-but who
have been forced to maintain an ar
my on war footing at an enormous
expense. The majority of their ho-
tells are still closed and their owners
10 not expect to greet their pre-war :.
guests before the summer of 1920.

ping to spare for the pleasure travel

Spray Apple Trees
When Blossoms Fall

The so-colled calyx or blossom-fall
spray is the most important fruit
spray of the season. 1t not only
controls the first brood of the apple
worms or lavrae of the codling
moth, but it also largely prevents
are losses occasioned by the later
| broods. It is also an effective spray
against the lesser apple worm, plum
curculio, canker worms, apple scabs,
black rot, and other less important
! insect pests and fungous diseases,
Advises T. ]. Talbert, extension
horticulturist to the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture.
For best results the spray must be
applied Immediately after the bios
SONS or petals fall. The trees should
not be sprayed while in full bloom,
because the stamens and pistil of the
flower fill and almost close the cllyx
cup, thus preventing the poison
spray from reaching the place where
the majority of the codling moth
worms take their first meal.
Spraying apple trees when they
are in full bloom is also apt to pre-
vent satisfactory set of fruit. The
spraying solution may be strong
enough to burn and destroy the re-
productive organs of the flowers.
When about two-thirds of the pet
ais have fallen, spraying work may
begin, as practically al the nectar
will have dried up and the bees will
not be found visiting the flowers.
No injury can, therefore, be done to
the bees if the spray is applied inn
mediately after the petals fall. Use
lime-sulphur solution and arsenate
of lead in the same proportions as for
the cluster bud spray, IL gallons
to 50 gallons of water and pounds
of the paste or of the dry arsenate
Of lead.
Since the little cavity at the bios
som end of the apple, known as the
calyx cup, remains open for only a
week or ten days. for the most va
rieties of apples, the spray should
be applied. if possible. within from
= to 2 days after the petals fall in
order to be most Elective in killing
the apple worms. A large percent
age of these worms upon Matching
from the eggs of the codling moth
take their first meal in the calyx cup
of the little apples. If the fruit
grower is careful in applying the
spray few grains of arsenic will be
placed in the calyx cup of each fruit, /
and the worms will be killed.
This should be the most thorough
and drenclling spray of the season. !
A nozzle throwing q rather coarse
driving spray will give best results.
The equipment employed should fur
nish enough pressure to force the
spray to all parts of the tree. If
thorough work is don the young ap-
! le clusters must be sprayed from
lvery angle in order to force the
poison spray into each calyx cup.
Apple trees from IL to IS years while
arger trees ranging from Is to Is
.ears old may need from 7 to IL
gallons of th spray to cover them
thoroughly.

Iberia Parish to
Build Model Roads

According to the New Iberia En-
terprise, the Police Jury of that par
ish has contracted for model road
to be built under supervision of TIL,
State Highway Department. TIL.
regular meeting Of the jury was on,
of much interest to the people of tn,
parish last Thursday, says the En-.
terprise. and a full attendance wa:
on hand to pass on matters pertain.
ing to the general welfare of the
people.
One of the first transactions was
that of continuing the Spanish Trail
from the corporate limits of New
Iberia to Burke Station. President
Theriot addressed the members and
asked if they would not give a unan-
imous vote in favor of an immediate
contract with the State Highway De-
partment for the construction of the
road leading to- the S. Marin line,
which is continuation of the Span
ish Trail route. A motion was then
made, seconded and carried. authoriz-
ing the Police Jury to appropriate
for the road out of the general
funds if the Fifth Ward tax failed to
carry, SO that within ninety days,
this important connecting, link to the
Jeanerette road would be completed.
These funds later are to be refunded
back as soon as the taxes are voted
and collected from the property own
ers of the Fifth Ward. 1t is the
general opinion of every member Of
the Jury that the taxpayers of the
Fifth Ward will vote the taxes as per
resolution to be submitted to the
people. The citizens of that Ward
are just as enthusiastic now as any
other body of citizens for model
gravel highways, and when the votes
are counted there may not be a sim
gle dissenting ballot. The President
as we'll as the members Of the Police
Jury can now be said to be real
boosters for better highways. It is
seldom such large body of officials
all agree so we'll on this one ques-
tion. Mr.. Theriot stated henceforth
he wished the people of the Parish
to know that all of the members of
the Jury stood unanimous for public
The step they took
in advancing the work on the roads
in the Fifth Ward is commendable
in every respect and ere long there
will be a decided change for the bet
ter. Mr.. Gonsoulin of the Fourth
Ward made some favorable remarks
relative to his position in road mat
ters and stated that he had voted
some $4,000 worth of assessment for
roads in one side Of the Teche when
the route of the road would be on
the opposite side which shows he ia
vors good highways.

of deep fat frying. Contrary to com mon belief it is not expensive, foods so cooked are not indigestible and the amount Of fat absorbed is not as great as in pan frying.
 The secret of successful cooking in deep fat is to have the fat at the proper temperature The ideal way to do this is to have a fat thermo' meter. These thermometers arc not prohibitfve in price and are very satisfactory,
 But if one does not carc to invest in a thermometer the old-fashioned way of testing fat will answer, pro vided one is painstaking. When the fat begins to smoke, drop in an inch cubs of bread from the soft part oi the loaf. If in 40 seconds the bread is golden brown the fat is the right temperature for ~ying any cooked mixture such as croquettes For un- cooked mixtures the bread should brown in 60 seconds.
 All fried foods should be drained on heavy brown paper when removed from fat.
