to disease and insect injury.
1t is highly desirable that the fruit

with the tendencies of the various
trees so he will know how to treat
them. Trees are much like animals.
A person can always get better re-

BIG REVENUE FROM TOBACCO
Figures Have Always Been Larger
Than Those From Customs Tax
-S178, 5000, 900 in 1918.

The internal revenue from tobacco
has always been much larger than the
customs receipts. says the United
States department of agriculture. In
the first years operation 'of the law,
1868, the internal revenue was $1,000
900, In the next year 100000 and
the amount increased to S31 100000
by 1870, Sal 100000 by 1877, and SAT-
OO0. 900 by 1882. After that year, the
amount declined and remained rela
lively low until 1898. with a low
water mark of S26.OOO,OOO in 1884.

Spread of Disease.
Last season favored the spread of
the disease. Severe rainy weather
was experienced at one time or an
other during the growing season all
over the melon belt, and meist
weather with driving rains made 1t
possible for this disease to spread
through the fields. Cars arrived at
the New York market with so to 90
per cent of the melons affected, the
sunken, decayed spots on the rind be-
ing so numerous that in some in
stances the entire surface of the
melon was affected.

The week of May % to May 30 will

nationally and to give definite recogni-

movement.
For Sunday, May %, the opening daN

During the celebration of Boy Scout
week all those who became associate
members of the national council, Boy

week in June, 1919, will be given an
opportunity, through the local chair

RIGHT TIME TO APPLY LIME
u Badly Needed II May Be Spread
on Winter Wheat In Spring and
Lightly Narrowed.

The best time to apply lime is when
land is being prepared for wheat in
fall. 1t should be spread on the plowed
ground and narrowed In. Lining corn
land that is to be followed by grain
crop with clover Is also good practice.
If lime is badly needed It may be
spread on the winter wheat in the
spring and lightly narrowed in. 1t
will not be as effective as If 1t had
been put on last fall but 1t will help
some. II clover Is to be seeded with
spring grain crop, lime can be applied
when preparing the land for this crop.
The precise amount Of lime to use
in each case can be determined only
by chemical means, and the various
methods for determining the lime re-
quirement of soils do not always yield
uniform results, says the United
States department Of agriculture. For
the farmer the response Of the clover
crop Is the best test BY lining a field
at two or three rates and leaving
strip unlimed the farmer can get
clover to tell the story itself. AS
general rule, which is useful as
starting point, two tons Of ground
limestone or one ton Of burnt lime an
acre will put most land In shape to
grow clover.
