The San Jose Scale is Foreigner,
Too Much at Home Here. The Above
Is Very Much Enlarged.

them scrape the incrusted scales with
q knife and a sort of yellowish oily
like liquid will oOze out. Scales are
blown from tree to tree, carried by
birds, and sometimes large insects
even carry them.
others. Instead of going through the
winter in the egg stage like the others
this scale passes the winter about half
grown, attached to the bark, You can
just barely see the little scales. Then
in the spring when the sap begins to
run the scale insects begin to grow
and the males come from under the
male scales a little later and mate with
the females. Then the males die and
the females keep on growing.
A month or so later the females be-
gin to produce young. They don't lay
eggs, but actually produce living
young.
The insect passes through it's vari-
Gus stages in growth and finally after
a month or a little more from birth
the females begin producing young.
There may be several generations every
summer, so you can see why the insect
spreads and increases so rapidly. Luck
ily they are not hard to control.
Lime-sulphur is the best spray. Where
the scale is bad they spray twice for
it, first as soon as the leaves fall and
again as soon as the buds begin to
swell in the spring. If one sprays
when the buds are too far along it
doesn't do much good because those
little yellow crawling insects can hide
under the lifting bud scales.

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
me-SuIphur Should Be Applied as
Soon as Leaves Begin to Fall
and Again in Spring.

San Jose scale is a dangerous thing
to have on the place. 1t is rather hard
to see unless present in considerable
numbers. The scales are a dark gray
or blackish color, round and sort of
peak shaped and about the size of a
small pinhead. When the tree is much
covered it will have a sort of ashy ap-
pearance-something as though the
wind had stirred up a lot of ashes and
the dust had settled down on the tree.
1t is most likely you will not find any
on your trees, but you might try If
you should be unlucky enough to find

LABOR ATTACKS SOVIET RULE
American Federation of Labor Ap-
peals to World Against
Persecution.

Washington, March 1.-Organized
labor throughout the world especially
in the United States. is urged to pro-
test against the ruthless persecution
and slaughter of labor unionists" in
soviet Russia in an appeal issued here
Soy the American Federation of Labor.
"Eet the soviet savages know what
Tabor of the civilized world thinks of
their beStial system" the appeal de-
clares. Let every labor organization
in the country respond" The appeal
cites at length a list of charges
against the soviet regime, declaring
that it has established a system of
slavery, made long hours and Sun
day work compulsory, and has forbid
den strikes"

FARMERS MIXING OWN FEEDS
ciaI Materials Are Turning to
Cooperative Buying.

Farmers are almost universally dis
satisfied with mixed commercial feeds
and are depending more on mixing
their own rations," says Henry Nc
Cough, chairman of the dairy commit
tee of the Illinois Agricultural associa-
ton. He adds: ''They are all inter-
ested in the cooperative buying Of
mill feeds such as bran, cottonseed
meal and gluten and at times when
there is a shortage in roughages in
the purchase of alfalfa hay"
Commercial mixed feeds ought to
give more satisfactory results because
the manufacturers with their improved
machinery for mixing large capital
and ability to purchase feeds and
grains in large quantities should be
able to supply satisfactory feed at
a reasonable price. Dat hulls, weed
seeds, chaff and cheap molasses do
not make a nourishing or satisfactory
feed and their extensive use by some
mixers has brought these disparaging
remarks from Mr.. McGough.

WHEN TO WEAR THE UNIFORM
Former Service Men Inclined to Be
Too Modest in Appearing in
Army Toys.

Former service men are too modest
to appear in uniform on special occa-
sions, according to a letter from
member of the American Legion.
The letter follows:
'Armistice day brought with it some
wearing Of the uniform at ceremonies
and celebrations, and, inasmuch as in
the future we must confront the prob
lem time after time, believe the
question should be settled now, one
way Or the other. / am neutral on the
subject and am willing to do as the
bunch does.
"Since their discharge the majority
of both officers and enlisted men have
shown more than a little hesitancy in
putting the uniform back on for special
occasions. The true spirit of the Lee
gion is not manifest in any parade
when the majority of the men appear
in civilian clothes and a handful march
In uniform. On such occasions the uni
formed man is in an embarrassing po-
sitioh, and he VOWS: Never again!
think modesty is responsible for most
mems preference for 'civvies' on formal
occasions, but I know that some argue
that they do not want to be in uniform
with a bunch of men wearing officers
uniforms and insignia.
II am sure there is not an ex-officer
in the Legion who would not willingly
discard his insignia if it operated as
barrier to harmony. But let's have a
standard rule-either civvies or uni

VERY FEW WILL BE DROPPED
Legionnaires Are Rushing to Pay 1921
Post Dues; Many New Members
Being Added.

The 10000 post adjutants Of the
American Legion, according to reports
reaching national headquarters from
all over the country, are finding them
selves now in the busiest weeks of the
years as regards work.
The rush of Legionnaires to get in
their 1921 post dues within the time
limit set, with the penalty of being
dropped from membership, if delin-
quent after that date, piled necessary
clerical and other detail work onto
the shoulders of post adjutants in an
unprecedented manner.
To judge by the returns thus far
available, the list of men to be dropped
from membership for non-payment of
their 1921 post dues within the speci-
fed time will be only a small fraction
of the Legion and will be more than
offset by the thousands of new mem
bers already obtained in the member
ship drives of various departments.

SUCCESS IN DAIRY FARMING
careIessness in Breeding and Calf
Raising Is Sure to Result Dis
astrousIy to Herd.

Success in dairy farming depends
to a great extent upon the careful
rearing of the calves. Carelessness in
breeding and calf raising is bound to
result disastrously to a herd or at
least keep it at standstill, as far. as
improvement is concerned. Without
raising calves from which to replace
discarded animals it is almost impos-
sible to raise the average production
of the herd. Purchasing cows for this
purpose is a very unsatisfactory meth
cd. Cows placed on the market are
almost certain to be of very ordinary
grade, since a good cow whose value
as a milk producer is known is not
offered for sale at market price.
Therefore, the dairy farmer should
take every precaution in handling the
young calves which are to be placed
in the herd.

DAIRY
WORK OF BULL ASSOCIATION
Missouri Organization Doubled in
Membership in Two Years Be.
cause Of Its Usefulness.

Two years ago the United States
Department of Agriculture and CO.
operating agencies organized a bull
association in Webster county. Mo-.
with 81 members. Now there are twi&
that many members, due to the sue
cess and usefulness Of the association.
Before the association was formed
there were Is bulls owned by the men
who afterwards joined it. Upon the
formation Of the organization the num-
Der Of bulls was reduced by two
thirds, because after the members had
been arranged into blocks, it was
found that six bulls were enough.
These were much finer animals, how
ever. Judging them by their money
value, the new ones were three or four
times as good as the ones they re-
placed, since the average investment
per bull was $75 before organization,
and $276 after.
Yet owing to the smaller number Of
bulls needed under the cooperative ar
rangement, the cost per farmer was
but little more. The members had on
the average $43.71 invested in their in
fericr bulls, while the superior bulls
owned by the association cost each
member only $@345. This $40 in
crease of cost per member meant
5000 increase Of value in the indi-
vidual bulls from which they now

Blackberries are propagated from

these from the old plants and starting
the fresh patch the following spring.
These tips should be buried rather
