Q. When should ! spray my
peach and apple treesf
A. Peach trees should be spray
ed when the majority of husks or
coats on the young peaches have
fallen from the tree. Apples, un-
like peaches, should be sprayed
when the greater portion of the
petals have fallen from the young
fruit on the tree.
Q. Is it very important that l
apply the sprayer at this time; if
so, why?
A. Yes; a delay of few days
in applying the spray may mean
the difference between good fruit
and bad fruit, since the worms en-
ter the peaches and apples at this
time and the poison spray will get
them before they can do so.
q. Do peaches and apples re-
quire the same spray9
A. No.
Q. What should I spray my ap-
pies with?
A. Commercial lime sulphur and
arscnate of lead.
Q. What is the formula for this
combined sprayf
A. Use five quarts of the lime
sulphur to SO gallons of water; to
this add one pound of arsenate of
lead powder, which has been dis
solved thoroughly in small guam
tity of water.
Q. What spray should | use on
my peachesf
A. Selfboiled lime sulphur and
arsenate of lead.
Q. What is meant by selfboiled
lime sulphur
A. By selfboiled lime sulphur is
meant a form of spray made by
the heat of Stacking lime which
cooks the sulphur thoroughly,
forming)the combination, lime-sul-
phur.
Q. How is it mades
A. Place eight pounds of I'M
Stacked or good store lime in a
tub or barrel and pour over it
enough hot water to cover. Put
in the flower of sulphur dumps
first crushed) and add another
bucket of water. As the mass
boils from the Stacking Of the
lime stir it, add more hot water
as needed to form a thick paste.
A rack over the barrel helps to
keep in the heat. When the boil
ing is all over add water (cold is
all right to make SO gallons, stir
thoroughly and strain carefully.
Dissolve the arsenate of lead pow
der Zone pound) in enough of the
solution to make it liquid, then
stir it into the whole solution and

Q. What should these sprays be
applied with?

you are ready to spray.
q. What should these sprays be
applied with9
A. A good barrel pump capable
OF giving pressure of 100 pounds
to the square inch at the nozzle.
The spray should be put on as a
line mist, since a driving spray
does not cover so large a surface
or so thoroughly as the fine mist
type and it is more expensive.
Q. What kind of day is best for
spraying9
A. A good warm day when there
is no breeze blowing.
=. How many trees will SO gal
Ions of the spray cover9
A. This of course depends upon
the size of the trees, their age and
other factors. For an average
size peach tree (three years. one
may figure on from a gallon to a
gallon and half of the spray per
tree; on apple trees from six to
eight years old one and one-half
to two gallons per tree will be re-
quired.
Q. What are the different poi
sons in the spray for?
A. The arsenate of lead controls
the worms affecting both peach
and apple. Lime sulphur is for
a disease of apple called scab,
which causes rough spots on the
fruit while selfboiled lime sulphur
controls the soft brown rot of
peaches.

Hayward's Philosophy
GETTING Back
by E. F. Hayw ard, Conover. v

Getting Back
It seems good to get back to the old
home and neighbors,
Where once | was known to the whole
neighborhood;
And shared in their joys, their sorrows
and labOrs,
And bore their respect as an honest
man should.
Those we're the days when quality
counted,
When honor was reckoned more prec-
ious than gold;
Where dollars and cents to but little
amounted,
And nobody suffered from hunger
and cold
Where the weak and the aged were
never neglected,
Where, to real human kindness,
dame nature gave birth;
And purity then, was the first thing
protected,
And a mans word of honor was all
he was worth.
This is the place which I tired of, de-
serted;
Went out to seek fortune and fame, as
| thought.
| But now I've returned, and I'm fully
converted
The old home is best, and I'll here
cast my lot.
I've been out in the world with it's
noise and confusion,
Where selfishness reigns, in the get
ting of gold;
Where to advocate honor is deemed
an intrusion,
Where virtue and manhood, are openly
sold.
Yes, I'm glad to get back, was home
sick and weary,
I've been longing to hear the word
welcome" again;
It makes this old world seem a whole
lot more cherry
Seems just like the sunshine right
after the rain.

Eagle River handed the Waters.
meet baseball team double dose of
grief Sunday and Monday of this
week, coping off both big scores
Watersmeet came down loaded for
the occasion, importing couple of
pitchers and few other players, de-
termined to settle Eagle once and
for ALL Their fans came down with
them, too, and backed up their
players to the limit, but in figuring
on win, they had failed to take into
account the brand of ball the locals
are handling this season. This year
we've got an infield that is just about
alright and an equally good outfeld.
Add to that three or four pitchers of
first quality timber, and it is a COM
bination hard to beat. The team
plays together. It's support has been
well nigh errorless. In the games here
with Watersmeet it was easy to dis
tinguish the difference between team
work and the lack of it. Eagle played
as one man but Watersmeet's game
was pretty ragged. The visitors have
bunch of good players, and their
pitchers threw good ball, but nearly
every man was playing in new posi-
ton and the results were disastrous.
They had raked in team from all
over the range and it looked as
though they had never played togeth-
er before. It takes more than indivi-
dual good playing TO win a game.
Nine men playing as one with their
eyes on the ball all the time is what
counts
Sunday sgame netted us an IL to 4

first inning when White got on with

AVIATOR SPEER BIG
ATTRACTION ON 4TH
Brought First Airplane to This
Town-Gave Thrilling Ex-
hibitiOn and Carried
Passengers

Dallas M, Speer, Chicago aviator,
has the distinction of having made
the fastest trip from Chicago to Eagle
River. 1t is a twelve-hour trip on the
fastest train but Speer made it last
Saturday in his Curtis biplane in just
three hours and fifty-fve minutes.
He landed three times en- route, at
Milwaukee, Green Bay and Laona.
Coming across from Green Bay his
route led him over some of Northern
Wisconsin's widest country and Speer
tells us he came within an ace of
turning back after leaving Laona. He
landed at Eagle River in the late
afternoon and Immediately after sup
per started giving the natives their
many of them their first view of an
airplane. The aviator was busy all day
Sunday and Monday carrying passen-
gers, with the exception of the time
on July Fourth, morning and evening,
when he was making his exhibition
flights. His stunt flying drew admira-
skill he displayed in handling his
plane.
Mr.. Speer has been flying for four
years, getting his first experience in
the aerial branch of the U. S. army
Most of his time is spent at carnivals
and fairs, carrying passengers and
doing exhibition flights. He is care
full pilot with daring enough to do the
best of aerial stunts, but he is not
reckless. His work here was the one
big attraction on the Fourth of July
program and the success of the day
was due, in large measure, to Speer's
flights
The committee had made arrange
ments with Lieut.. Hansen of Chica-
go for the airplane attraction on the
Fourth. Saturday morning he wired it
was impossible to Keep his engage
ment and the committee Immediately
got in touch with Mr. Speer. A long
distance telephone message to Speer
explained the committees predica-
ment the Fourths biggest attraction
a fizzle unless plane could be secur-
ed. Speer said he'd fill the bill and
four hours later he was here.
In talking to Review representa-
tive Aviator Speer said, you do not
realize the beauty of your lake country
until you have seen it from the air.
In my short stay here l have made
many trips over your wonderful lake
region. The scores of lakes nesting
in the woods, many of them connect
ed by short streams, form picture
that one must see to appreciate. And
like your people. came here on
minutes notice; had no contract with
your committee and didn't know

Thanking the Public

The Eagle River Band thanks
the public for the hearty finan-
cial support given it in its 4th
of July effort to raise funds
for the uniforms purchased in
the spring. From the refresh
ment stand at the fair grounds
the sum of $4,000 was cleared;
from the benefit dance, $1,000;
from the July 4th committee,
balance left over from celebra-
ton, 5000; making a total of
$500 net. At the concert
last evening the lady who vol
unteered to pass the hat, col
lected $3.50. That makes a
total of $171.10, which will go
a long way in clearing up the
$4,000 debt still owing on the
uniforms.
Such support shows that the.
community appreciates its
band and the boys assure you
that they will do their best to
merii a continuance of it. We
thank you again.

go back with the greatest satisfaction

with the people have met. l want to
come again"
What Mr.. Speer says about the
beauty Of the woods and waters as
seen from the air is borne out by the
statements of all those who have rid
den with him. 1t was new sensation
for them and if they had any misgiv-
ings about the ability of the aviator
as a careful pilot, they soon laid them
aside after trip through the air with
him.

Mondays game was worse than the
day before. Eagle trimmed them II
to 8 in a walk-away. But at that
there were some flashes OF real
baseball during the game Paul was
on the mound for the locals with an
exhibition of pitching that was worth
the price of admission alone. Paul
has the knack of knowing just where
the ball is going if the batter hits it
and he places his men accordingly
| Several times in the game on the
Fourth he pulled himself out of some
deep holes with the bases full and
not man scoring. Richter pitched
the first six innings for Watersmeet,
followed by Phil Vantwood. Both of
them can throw but the locals are
sticking this year and found them for
fifteen hits. Watersmeet got five. On
the score sheet the game looms up

JULY FOURTH WAS
GALA DAY FOR ALL
Best Celebration Ever Put On
Here Kept People Busy All
the Time-Free Attrac-
tons Pleased

Eagle Rivers Fourth of July cele-
bration was one great big success
from the first event of the morning
to the final dance early Tuesday
morning. The weather, the only
element the committee could not con-
troll, was all in favor of the big day.
Starting at nine o'clock, the program
went through without a hitch and
there was something doing all the
time. Business men of the town had
subscribed the money and the COM
mittee in charge spared no effort to
secure attractions for the day. Chief
among them was the airplane ex-
hibition. 1t was the first time an air.
plane had been to this part of the
country and it proved great draw
ing card. People for miles around
came to spend the day at Eagle
River and a good many of them made
their first flight in the air. The bird
man was kept busy all day Sunday
and Monday carrying passengers and
he gave two thrilling exhibitions OF
aerial stunts on the morning and
evening of the Fourth. His exhibition
of fancy flying was a winner.
The days program was started off
with an attraction not scheduled on
the program, but one which was
,,ovo,.tI, oTocc 600 ~ 4ho foo+,,roc oe
the day. w. P. Heyn of Chicago,
national high and fancy diving cham
pion, who is spending short vacation
in the lake region gave great ex-
hibition Of the aquatic sport, includ-
ing high diving from the bridge,
fancy diving from the springboard,
and the various swimming strokes.
Mr.. Heyn also gave an under water
endurance test, staying down for two
minutes and forty-flve seconds. With
him was Angus Colman, son of Mr..
andMrs. c. Francis Colman of Duluth,
who is spending the summer with his
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. D. Mac
Leod. Angus is an expert swimmer
and diver and his exhibition OF fancy
diving won much applause from the
crowd.
The new grandstand was ready
for the holiday crowd, furnishing
GEE accommodations for the obsery-
vance of the main events of the day
The races and contests for the boys
and girls and the free circus acts
were staged in front of the stand. In
building the grandstand provision was
made for a speakers stand and band
stand in front of the seats and these
two improvements, as was seen in
the Fourth celebration, will be well
used in any public programs held at
the fair grounds. Since Monday the
bleachers have been put up and the
fair ground now has ample seating
accommodations for all ball games or
other public events.
The merry go-round was there in
all its glory for the children and they
kept it busy all day. Side shows and
free circus acts morning and evening
furnished amusement for all. The ball
game in the afternoon and the dance
at night rounded out full days Gel
ebration.
The concessions and refreshment
stands on the grounds did a thriving
business with he hundreds who
came to Eagle River for the day.
With plenty of good music by the
Eagle River band to liven up the pro-
gram, it was day that has set
new mark in local Fourth of July
celebrations.
