THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE

ditional reason for cautious and WELL
considered action, if the federal re-
serve bill was to become a reality.
The presence of Mr.. Bryan in the
cabinet and his well-known views
on this question were strong reasons
for watchful and careful provision.
It was obvious to Mr.. Wilson from
the onset that insurmountable diff
ficulties lay in his path, but he
brushed them aside as if they were
the most inconsequential things.
In the committee on banking and
currency, in both the senate and
house, were many ardent and de-
voted friends of Mr.. Bryan, who
thought that his radical views on
the money question could be used
as a rallying point for opposition
TO the presidents plan for currency
reform. But those who counted on
Mr.. Bryans antagonism were DOOM
ed to disappointment and failure, for
while it is true. that Mr.. Bryan
found certain serious objections to
certain parts of the bill, when these
were eliminated he moved forward
with the president in the most gen.
erous fashion and remained with
! him until the federal reserve act
| was made part of the law Of the
| land.

fungicide, especially for peaches. For
apples, concentrated lime sulphur, di-
luted with water to summer strength
as shown in the table given, can
be substituted.
The following disinfectants are
recommended for use on pruning
| tools, also in paints used on pruned
parts:
Use a 4 per cent solution, which
can be made UP at home by putting
ten ounces Of 40 per cent fofmalin
into ninety ounces of water.
Put three ounces of 95 per cent
carbolic acid into 100 ounces of
water.
Put one-tenth ounce Of mercuric
chloride in 100 ounces of water.
Put one-tenth ounce of cyanide OF
mercury in 100 ounces Of water.
The last two disinfectants can be
purchased from the druggists al
ready prepared and in a convenient
form. Cyanide of mercury is prob
ably the best to use as it does not
corrode metal, whereas the bichlo-
ride of mercury causes knives and
pruning implements to rust.
All Of these disinfectants are dead
ly poisons and should be handled
with care.
Orchards larger than twenty acres
should be sprayed with power out
fits at high pressure. Barrel spray
pumps, so made that the pressure
can be kept up to 100 pounds or
more, may be used in small plant
irgs. No spray should be applied at
less than 100 pounds pressure, and
$50 pounds is preferable. A KNAPP
sack sprayer, or anything smaller
than barrel, will hardly be found
practicable when working with trees.
The nozzle to be used will, to a
great extent, be determined by the
spray that is to be applied.
Sprays with material in suspension
require a nozzle with a larger open
ing than solutions. All spray APP
paratus used in orchards should be
equipped with good agitators to keep
the materials we'll mixed. After
completing the work, the pumps,
barrels and other spray machinery
should be thoroughly cleaned. Oil
should be applied and everything
put in shape so that when the time
comes to spray again, there will be
no rusted-out valves and stopped-up
pipes and other things to stand in
the way of the timely application.
On fairly level land it will require
one power outfit to every thirty or
forty acres Of orchard. Where the
orchards are ON steep hillsides and
hard to get at, the acreage to one
power spray will have to be de-
creased.
The spray gun has recently been
introduced as an addition to the
spray equipment. 1t is essentially
speed high-pressure tool, and can
not be used on anything but a good
power outfit. A pressure Of at least
$50 pounds is necessary for good re-
suits with the spray gun, and 800
pounds is preferable. In large Or
chards, where it is difficult to cover
the orchard in the rather limited
time suitable for spraying, the spray
gun may find valuable place as
time and labor saver. Very great
care must be exercised in it's use,
however, or the efficiency of the
spray work will be reduced.

To make a soap solution for

Spraying the Apple Orchard

& 0PASAy LIS tAO okShdAN
1t has now been demonstrated
= that most of the diseases which at
tack the apple can be controlled
through the use of spray materials.
What to use and how to apply the
same is matter Of interest to
every orchardist. The material which
has been gathered on this subject
by the experts of the Georgia State
College Of Agriculture is as dependa-
BILE as any data with which we are
acquainted. A summary of the sug-
gestions they offer along this line
has, therefore, been prepared. Read
it. 1t is as reliable and up-to-the-
minute information as can be obtain
ed anywhere, and profitable results
will follow in any orchard where
these sprays are made and applied IN
the manner indicated.
Spray materials are divided into
three classes according to the use
which they serve. First, the inter-
\ nal insecticides are those which Kill
by being taken into the stomach or
the insect as food. They are used
against insects which have biting
!. mouth parts and which chew and
swallow their food, such as the cod
ling moth, the leaf-eating caterpll'
lars, etc.
Second, the contact insecticides,
which kill by coming in contact with
I the body of the insect externally.
They are used against insects when
have sucking mouth parts and which
secure their food by sucking the sap
OF the plant from beneath the sur
face. The scale insects are exam
pies OF this class.
Third, the fungicides are those ma
terials which are used to control
fungus diseases such as scab, bitter
rot, etc.
Arsenate of lead is the best insec-
ticide for biting insects. 1t is more
expensive than Paris Green, but 1t
is more effective, is less injurious
to foliage, stays in suspension bet
ter and adheres to the surface OF
the plant longer.
In preparing an arsenate of lead
spray, use two to three pounds OF
arsenate of lead paste, or half the
$amount of powder to two to three
pounds of quicklime. Stake the lime
and place the whole in fifty gallons
OF water. Keep this material well
stirred while it is being applied.
Usually arsenate of lead is used
in connection with another material
such as lime sulphur or Bordeaux,
and under such conditions the lime
is not necessary. The arsenate of
lead powder is easier to handle and
is more used than the paste now and
only half as much is needed Zone
pound per fifty gallons of spray MAJ
teriaO.
To prepared spray of Paris Green,
take one pound Of the powder and
mix it with q little water. To this
add two pounds of quicklime which
has been previously slaked and make
UT to 200 gallons with water.
This material has been largely re
placed by arsenate of lead, and it can
not be recommended as highly.
Calcium arsenate and magnesium
nate are new materials which
have been put on the market during
! the past few years in an effort to
reduce the cost of spray materials.

FEAR
BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY Or. FRANK crane
1t is safe to say that no good work was ever
done in fear.
Until you have struck the Shackles of fear
from your hands you can do nothing
Until you get the grip of fear 1oosened
from your mind, your bran is not efficient, and
you cannot remember we'll, think straight or
imagine constructvely.
Until you purge the poison of fear out of
your heart, your emotions instead of giving
you power and pep will cause you only shame
and confusion
Fear is your greatest enemy.
1t is ghost 1t is nothing at all. But it is
no less terrible for all that.
For we ourselves are but ghosts, housed in
bodies and we get our deepest hurt from
other ghosts.
1t is this ghost that knocks the cup of sue
cess from your lips just when you are about
to drink.
1t is fear that reaches out its ghostly hands
to strangle you in the nick of crisis just when
everything depends upon you.
1t is fear that tangeS your feet hangs like
milestone about your neck on your journey; it
dinS your eye so that you cannot see the truth,
roarS in your ear until you cannot hear the
music all about you, fevers your blood, I'M
strings your nerve and pourS its senile i'm
potence into your cup of life
You have one big battle 1t is to conquer
fear. That done, the world is yours, your own
will come to you, and the stars in their courses
will fight for you.
If you will think bit you will see how fear
spoilS all your life.
Love is "The Great Thing in the World and
it is fear that turns the heaven of love into the
hell of jealousy and suspicion.
Don't be afraid to love, and to believe that
you are loved. Unfortunately it is easy to
imagine any one hates you, and hard to think
any one loves you.
But you must be bold to believe in love, if
you would be happy. You may be deceived if
you trust too much, but you will live in tor
ment unless you trust enough.
"He that believes in everybody may be Bit
ten, but he that suspects everybody will be
devoured"

are forging swiftly and substantially for
ward.
Concerning England, Mr.. Hicks, whom we
have quoted, writes in the March number of
Current History: During 1920 there were
four daily services running from London to
Paris, one from London to Brussels, and
two from Lo1uon to Amsterdam. According
to the figures issued by the Department Of
Civil Aviation in London, there were S.,
479 flights in the seventeen months from
May, 1919, when civil flying began, to Sep
TENDER l, 1920. The mileage covered was
1881, 500; the number of passengers car
ried, 100,2S5. From August, 1919, to No
vember, 1920, the value of goods imported
into England by air was 6S5,054 pounds and
of those exported by the same means, 344,-
SIG pounds" During the siXteen-months Pc
ROD of civil flying, the same observer re-
ports, there Was an average of but one acct
dent for eacT 31,4O0 miles flown, and
throughout the period, only seven fatal cas-
ualties-"which shows, incidentally, that an
airplane is infinitely safer than taxi.
America, country of immense dis
tances, where swift transportation and con-
venient schedules are especially important,
owes it to herself to redeem the beggarly es
tate into which general aviation here has
fallen. Little can be done, however, until
fairly adequate laws and a reasonable meas
ure Of Governmental support have been pro-
vided. To this end the new Congress should
act without delay, and act 1t undoubtedly
will if public opinion duly points the way.
