STRAIGHT ROWS In ORCHARD
There Are Numerous Methods Recon-

New Plantation.

In laying out your orchard take
enough pride in it to get your rows
absolutely straight and the correct dis

chard and different men have different
plans. Start your first row about Is
feet from the fence and leave plenty Of

FIRE BLIGHT AS
MENACE TO FRUIT
Investigators Now Recommend
Ten Means of Control for
This Disease.

Fire blight is one of the most de-
structive diseases found in Wiscon-
sin orchards. 1t often kills the trees
entirely or Injuries them so severely
that they require years to recover
from the attack.
Outbreaks Of FIRE blight are rela-
lively more severe when the weather
is warm and rainy or cloudy at BIOS
soming time or during the period when
the young wood grows rapidly. The
disease is known under different
names, as fire blight, pear blight,
blossom blight, twig blight, fruit
blight, canker blight, and canker and
collar blight, according to the tree or
part attacked.
Caused by Germ.
Fruit disease specialists at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin say that fire
blight is caused by bacteria which get
into the young growing tissues
through blossoms or through wounds
made in young twigs by insects or
into larger branches through wounds
made by pruning tools. Once in the
growing part of the wood, where
there is plenty of moisture, the bac-
terra increase rapidly in number and
kill all the parts they invade, leav-
ing them shriveled and dark colored.
When the young wood and bark are
soft, as in spring and early summer,
the bacteria work rapidly down the
twfgs or shoots into the larger limbs
or trunks where cankers are formed.
These cankers are known as "hold-
over cankers'' because it is at their
edges where the tissue does not dry
out that the bacteria are kept alive

STORAGE POTATOES NEED AIR
DIscoIored, BIackIsh Area Found In
Center of Tuber Is Caused
by Lack Of Ventilation.

insufficient ventilation during stor-
age is largely responsible for the dis
colored, blackish area frequently
found in the center OF potatoes. Ex-
tensive experiments carried on by the
Geneva experiment station show that
the symptoms may be produced at will
by excluding air from the tubers, even
at low temperatures. The trouble is
aggravated no doubt, by heat, but is
materially checked when proper ven
tilation is provided. This explodes the
old theory that blackheart was caused
by the heating of the tubers in stor-
age

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
In spite of their good qualities as
food and game, cottontail rabbits in
many localities become a great NUS
ance to orchards and farm crops, and
control measures are necessary to pre-
vent their increase. In addition to the
natural checks effected by diseases and
predatory animal enemies, the usual
ways of preventing abnormal in
creases in their numbers, according
to the biological survey Of the United
States Department of Agriculture, are
by hunting, trapping, fencing, or pois-
Oning.
Rabbits Are Protected.
Iii many states east of the Missis-
sippi rabbits are protected as game.

FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS
BY USING AREA PLAN
Minnesota Begins Work on Erad.
iCation of Disease.
Proposed That Counties Pay for Test
ing of Cattle at Rate of IS Cents
Head-Indemntes Will
Be Paid.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Minnesota, third in rank as dairy
state, has now definitely taken up the
area plan for the eradication of bovine
tuberculosis. Counties, states, and the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are to cooperate in carrying on
the work. Some time ago commits
tee of breeders was appointed by the
state live stock sanitary board to in
vestigate plans for continuing the fight
against the disease. Recently the COM
mittee met with the sanitary board
and a resolution was unanimously
adopted asking the legislature for
$4,000 for area work for two years,
the work to be carried on in two coun-
ties. In addition, the legislature is to
be asked for 100000 per annum for
two years for accredited-herd work.
The plan is approved by the state
veterinarian.
According to the plans laid out, it is
proposed that the counties pay for the
testing of the cattle at the rate of 20
cents a head. The fund resulting from
this charge will be used to pay the
inspectors, local, state and federal,
who are assigned to the work. In
IDENTITIES will be paid In the regular
way.
The three big dairy states-Wiscon-
sin, New York, and Minnesota-are
now all taking up area work, which
has become the predominant plan for
the eradication of the great cattle
plague Some of the states where the
infection is light are expecting to be
entirely rid Of the disease within few
years.

VARIOUS SHADES OF BROWN
Copper, Sable, Bronze, Cocoa, Amber,

Many Tints.

Brown, as we all know by this time,
is the color of the season. Of brown
there are many shades and these
shades have new names. Here are
some of them:
Copper, sable, bronze, cocoa, amber,
beaver, topaz, chocolate.
Muffin and maple sugar are new
shades of tan. Gamma and wall-fower
are new henna shades. Bob-o-link is
a new brown that is very popular.

PICKING OUT BEST PULLETs
Fowl Should Possess Carriage and
Appearance of Vigor for Pro-
ducton of Eggs.

A good laying pullet will have the
carriage and appearance of vigor that
go with egg production. The pullets
should be well grown, with fairly long
back, well-rounded breast, with good
depth of body from the middle of the
back to the center of the keel bone.
The keel should be long and carried
well forward, and at the same time
should extend well backward. The
skin should be soft and pliable over
the keel and around the abdomen.

show how this can be done as it is

Prune out new infections promptly

PROPER CARE OF DRoPPINGs
Mistaken Idea to Think They Will
Freeze as Soon as Accumu-
lated in Piles.

1t is very natural to think that the
cold weather will freeze the droppings
as fast as they accumulate, and that,
if they do pile up under the roosts, it
will make little difference. This is
wrong, for the droppings never stay
frozen very long at time. A warm
night in winter is very trying on the
fowls. when the droppings have been
nermitted to accumulate too long.

Paris. June 25.
The Paris Grand Semaine ended at
Longchamps this afternoon with a
crowd estimated at 10000. packing the
stands and field. The pari-mutuel bet
ting beat all records with total some
where between 100000 and 100000
francs.
Although the crowd itself was not as
large as some Grand Prix days have
seen in the past, it was memorable for
the fact that II included unprecedented
numbers of Americans and Englishmen.
In fact SO much English was heard that
1t was almost impossible to believe that
1t was really French race course.
Long before noon the crowds began to
arrive, forming lines In front CT the
regular betting booths and before q
score which were hastily improvi!sd for
the pig race. But thousands were dis
appointed, being unable to put down
their money before the booths closed at
the gong for the great race. Kefaln

pay off the winnings.

President Millerand shared the Of

day was preceded by a grand ball at the
Opera. where the Persian styles were of
ficially initiated. The chief feature Of
this years tableaux was a reception Of
Persian queen by doge of Venice
of the seventeenth century.
Americans. although used to fantastic
conceptions, were absolutely bewildered
by the magnificent and startling fan
tastes. Scores of semi-nude servants
formed line for the passage of the
royal visitors across the great salon,
there were real cames amid the throng
of masked spectators and at a signal
from the Doge scores of white pigeons
were released.
Although the dancing did not start
until A. M. and kept up until Z
o'clock this morning it did not prevent
Americans from being among the early
arrivals at Longchamps. Among the
prominent Americans seen were Ambas-
