TO WATERMELON GROWERS

Already some fields are infested
with lice and the young melon leaves
are curling up.
If the season is damp one there
will be much loss from disease.
These things can be stopped or
prevented-kill the plant lice or
aphids with spray of tobacco ex-
tract called Black Leaf 40. If proper
ly applied it will surely kill them,
and will not injure tfe> plants. Use 1
part of Black Leaf 40 in 1000 parts
of water
While the spraying is being done
1t is better to go to little more
trouble and expense and together with
the Black Leaf 40 use Bordeaux mix.

causes such great losses when it does

large fine ones will be as necessary
as spraying.

OLD BUFFALO COATS
AUCTIONED AT $2.15 EACH

The United States Army would
seem to have done very well at its
Fort Mason auction in selling for S2.15
each 1869 overcoats that had been
used for forty years.
But on the other hand, these were
buffalo coats, and 1t would be impos-

price
The appearance of the buffalo coats
carried men back in memory to half
a century ago, when the favorite win

farmer of the Middle West and even
the gripman on the cable car was a
coat of buffalo skin
About twenty twenty years ago the
