THE BUSTING METHOD
As We FIND II TODAY
BY FRANK 4. DUDLEY

Frank H. Dudley, State horticultu-
rist, gives an interesting interview on
1.-THE busting Method as We Find 1t
Today" He is much interested in
the subject and has had remarkable
success in the application of his
ideas. He said:
LAS DIR. Reddick told us at the
Auburn convention three years ago
busting plants to protect them from
disease Is now new idea. The
method was first used extensively
in France in 1850 and subsequent
years for the control Of powdery mill
dew disease of grapes. Sulphuring
of vineyards is still regular prac-
tice in Europe, about 100000 tons of
sulphur being used annually for this
purpose.
Bordeaux dust was used up to
about the year 1907 at which time
the sulphur and arsenate of lead took
it's place. Later the buster was i'm
proved and this, together with the
perfecting Of materials used, wrought
great damage in the busting propo-
sition, so that today we believe the

experimental stages.
I "The busting method consists es-
sentially in combining fungicide-
suPhur-and an insecticide-pow-
dered arsenate Of lead in finely
powdered state, so fine that IS per
cent of it may be sifted through a
screen of 200 mesh to the inch-and
the blowing of the mixture over the
trees at the proper time. instead of
using the same materials in water
and applying them as spray.
"Some of the mixtures of dust for
orchard work are sulphur and arse
nate 85-15, 90-10; 40-45-15. Some of
the filters for the last 40 per cent. are
tobacco dust or powdered gypsum;
the last named being used wholly as
a carrier, but the tobacco dust as a
dust for aphis.
Wet or Dry
busting may be done when the
foliage Is either wet or dry-in the
morning or evening-in fact, it is
thought best by some to dust in the
morning and evening when there is
apt to be little or no wind and the
work may be done in q more thorough
manner. as at this time the dust can
DO blown inso and above the trees
and will thon settle back over the
Same tree you arc busting.

a little breeze and by working with

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Here's Grandmother's Recipe to
Darker and Beauty Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances it's appearance hum
dredfold.
Don't bother ito prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients at small cost. all
ready for use. 1t is called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre OF
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's'' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at q
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another appli-
cation it becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous.-Adv.

new Pope's high school building, erect
ed and equipped at a total cost of ap-
proximately $11, 900, will be finished and

TO open Monday, Jan. IL, as given out
IN a statement made by Contractor
Harris Ingrum ia County Superintend-
ent w. A. Malone today.

district. The new building is equipped
with steam heat and the latest school
faculties Separate, rooms have been
provided for each department, with a
spacious corridor through the building.
