L0TS0F SPRAY
IS NECESSARY
Early sprayines Should Be Followed
With Good Mixtures In
Early July

Under these conditions 1t is of un
usual importance that every effort be
made by growers to produce a CROP
OF fine quality, and since it has beer
repeatedly demonstrated that only By
thorough spraying can the full yield
and the maximum quality be produced
thorough spraying this season is likel,
to be the most important feature of
orchard practice.
Peach growers in New England
New York, and westward who still
have crop on their trees, should use
every effort to control the curculio
scab, and brown-rot by carrying out
the spraying or busting schedules OF
the Department of Agriculture, or OF
the State agricultural experiment sta
tons, with arsenate of lead, lime, and
sulphur, to protect their crop to the
limit from these pests.
Apple and pear orchards that make
good In setting their crops should be
thoroughly sprayed with arsenate O.
lead and lime-sulphur solution TO,
early treatment in combating codline
moth, apple and pear scab, and the
other insect pests and fungous dis
eases, and later, in July, with Bor-
deaux mixture and arsenate of lead
Only by thoroughly carrying out the
methods which have oeen developing
for years can fruits of high quality
and finish, and orchard picks reason
ably free fro msecond-class fruit, be
produced. Every barrel of apples
which goes into the Gull pile this year
from lack Of spraying Is likely to near
serious money loss to the grower
and will deprive the consumer OF ne
cessary fraction of his supply. Farm
ers' bulletins on apple and peach
spraying by the Department Of Agri
culture can be obtained by a posta'
card request. The same materials, and
essentially the same schedule, as fol-
apples are used in spraying the year
for its common pests.
The shortage of canning fruits will
make every cherry desired this year
by the housewife for canning and
other uses. Plums, which are some
times glut on the market in years O
abundant local supply, will doubtless
be in insufficient quantity to fill the
great gap in summer and autumn

Who will be Miss Liberty"
This is the question that is keeping
Washington girls awake nights and

celebration that that organization is
to put on in Seattle. The contest for
the important post is on and nomina-

To the prettiest girl in Washington
will fall the coveted opportunity of
representing Miss Liberty"
In addition to Miss Liberty" the
judges will choose a court to attend
her in the parade and in the festivities
that follow during the day The lucky
girls who are chosen will be the guests

scented with the official freedom of

The most gorgeous float in the par
