Spraying Methods.
To be successful In the control OF

done promptly and thoroughly. Spray
ing with bordeaux mixture should be
done before rains rather than after,
provided the spray has time TO dry
on the leaves. Intervals between spray
ing should depend on the weather.
II II Is rainy or muggy, with fogs or

The ideal spray IL n fine mist, and
the best work Is done when the plant
ls throughly and evenly covered with
fine drops. Stop spraying before the
foliage Is drenched.
The higher the pressure, the better
the spray.
Clean all sprayers each time after
using.
For delicate foliage. spray after this
gets under shade. Hot sunlight Is dan
gerous with many sprays, such as kero-
sene emulsion.

Upon this scale OF values. often

that the farm aborer Is really re-
celving $1,000 per month Instead OF
$50. Yet. unless some form of con-
tract Is provided which definitely Gets
forth the values of these "extras," the
laborer will fail to give them just con-
sideratlon. Ask him what he receives
and he will name the cash allowance
alone. The employer, too. though
more apt to calculate the value Of the
extra items, is still In doubt as to the
real compensation he pays his men.
Values differ at different seasons.
The fuel consumed In winter months
would be much more than In the hot
weather; milk Is worth more In one
month than another, and garden plat

In localities where hawks and other
preylng wild birds trouble the poultry

chicks can be used. These may range
from the time-honored scarecrow to
pieces of brlght-colored cloth or bits
Of shiny tin strung around the coops.
When the enemy birds are unusually

netting over the top to prevent large
losses from these air raids.

Loss From Exposure.

When hens are allowed free range
and have to forage for feed for them
selves and the chicks, they often take
their young through wet grass where
the chicks may become chilled and die.
Most of the feed which the chicks Sc
cure In this manner goes to keep up
the heat of the body. say poultry ex-
perts of the United States department
of agriculture, whereas feed eaten by
chicks that are with confined hen
produces more rapid growth, as the
young birds do not have so much ex-
ercise.
Then, too, In most broods some
chicks are weaker than the others ard
If the hen is allowed free range the
weaker ones often fall behind and
OUT of hearing of the mothers call.
This frequently results in the death
of these chicks due to their becoming
chilled. II the hen Is confined the

Saves Foes Life
 at Risk of Own

Phoenix, Ai'iz., March 26.-How a physically powerful Mexican con vict saved the life of the foreman he disliked at the risk of his own life is story P. R. Mines, private secretary to Governor Campbell, has brought here on his return from a trip to the state penitentiarv at Florence, Ariz.
 The convict, Pete Salinas, serving q term for burglary had a grudge against the foreman of the road con struction gang, Shorty" Mcdonald because of the discipline which the foreman had to impose, according to Secretary Mines. On the other hand, Salinas was considered trou- blesome, powerful enough to be a source of danger, and spelling under restraint.
 His act of heroism came one day just after premature explosion knocked Foreman Mcdonald uncon- scious. Salinas, who was out of the danger zone, rushed in and, be- fore all the rock had stopped fail ing, threw his own body on top of that of the foreman.
 A rock fell on Salinas head and dazed him, the secretary said, but realizing another blast was due to explode immediately, the convict struggled to his feet, picked up the still unconscious foreman, and drag ged him out of danger.

Planes Lands on
 Man Like Seagull

Honolulu, T. H., March 26.-An army biplane cut of control and man. ned by Lieut.. c. E. Duncan and Sergt. H. w. Russell, swooped down on Wilbur Morse Jr., while he was rid ing a surf board at Waikiki Beach recently like sea gull after choice titbit, and, although the plane was completely wrecked, neither the crew nor the surfer was injured.
 Young Morse, who is the son of Lieutenant Wilbur Morse, U. s. N. R. F., was riding his board on big conner of the "second break" surf, when the airplane came out of the sky and headed straight for him. Lieutenant Duncan, pilot of the p1a- chine, caught a glimpse of Morse and tried to "zoom," but the machine re- fused to answer. As the heavy bi- plane almost skinned the surf board, Morse headed into the comber just in time to escape being crushed.
 The machine crashed into thu, smoking breaker, smashed the pro- peller, crumpled it's wings and turn ed over, while the lieutenant and sergeant leaped free with only few scratches.
