PLANTING PEAS FOR
 ALL-SEAS0N SUPPLY
Soil Should Be Prepared the
 Same as for Other Crops.
Some Fertilizer Should Be Scattered Where Row Is to Be Planted and Then Baked In - Scatter
 Seed Along in Furrow

In planting garden peas first pre- pare the soil the same as for other crops, then scatter little fertilizer where the row is to be planted and rake this into the soil. Next stretch q line and make deep mark with the corner of the hoe. The bottom of this mark should be at least three inches across so that the seed can be spread somewhat and not crowded too closely together. Scatter the seed in this furrow 15 to 20 seeds to the foot then cover about three inches deep and slightly firm the soil over the seed with the back of the hoe. About two weeks will generally elapse be- fore the sprout appears above the ground.
 At least three, and preferably four, plantings should be made at intervals of two weeks in order to keep up a continuous supply. advises the United States Department of Agriculture. If the first planting is of Alaska the sec ond should be of Gradus or Thomas Laxton, while the third should be of Excelsior and the fourth of Telephone or some similar variety. This will guarantee continuous supply. There is nothing particularly dila-

information as to Speed and Size of Average Vehicle Obtained in
 New England.

How large Is the average truck aad how fast does it travel? This question and others of interest to truck owners and users of the highways are an- swered by information obtained in & recent traffic census taken by the bu- reau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture. on one Of the most travelled highways in New England. The census diseloses that 40 per cent of the trucks were of ton capacity or less; B per cent betweena and 2h tons; 5 per cent betweefs 21k and s tons; and that less than per cent of the trucks were of more than tons capacity.
 On a level stretch of road, over which the speed of motor vehicles was timed. 1t was found that more trucks travelled at speed of 20 miles an hour than at any other rate. Thir- ty-seven per cent travelled 20 miles. an hour or faster. One truck wliose' driver said he was in q hurry to get there, was found to be travelling af ss speed of 45 miles an hour.

TREES FOR STATE HIGHWAYS
If Planted 50 or 60 Feet Apart They Will Not Harm Roada and Will
 Add Pleasure.

The Minnesota forestry departmess in the capitol at St. Paul is offering nut trees for planting on the highs ways of Minnesota. The planting oE these state highways with shade, orns- menta! or fruit trees should be begun at once. If the road is properly made so that it drains well and the trees are set 50 or GO feet apart they will not harm the roads In the least and will add much To the pleasure of driving along them in the future.-LeRoy Cady. associate professor of herticul. ture, University Farm, St. Paul.

GRADING AND PAVING ROADS
Average Figures for Whole of united States Given Out by Bureau of
 Public Roads.
(Prepared by the United states Department
 of Agriculture

(pFepared by the United States Department
 of Agricultnre.)
 What part of the cost of road goes into grading and structures that are more or less permanent, and what part goes into the paving, which may eventually wear out?
 This question Is answered fully by statistics compiled by the bureau Of public roads of the United States De partment of Agriculture on 1850 cora pleted federal-aid roads, involving T.. 800 miles of road, at q total cost oF $112,000,00O. Of the total cost, 21 EeF cent went into grading, IA per cent into structure, 62 per cent into pay- ing, and 3 per cent for engineering These are the average figures for the whole of the United States, but there Is considerable variation in different sections.
 In the Middle Atlantic states, where grading is not heavy and paving must be built for heavy traffic, the cost of the paving rises to 75 per cent and the grading and structures fall te Is per cent and per cent, respective ".
 In the Mountain states the prob lem is very different, much of the work being new construction with heavy grading. and the highest type

By A. l.. QUAINTANCE, Entomologist in Charge Fruit Insect Investigations. United States Department of Agriculture.
 The San Jose scale is just now ex- eeedingly abundant and destructive in many orchards in the Bentonville. (Ark.) section. and growers state they are unable to adequately control the pest with the usual dormant tree treat ments with lime-sulphur spray. While the bureau of entomology believes that thorough spraying with dormant tree strength of lime sulphur will con trol the San Jose scale, yet to meet the desire of orchardists for other than lime-sulphur treatments, number of experiments with sprays were under taken. The purpose of the present article is to call attention to results secured In the treatment of the scale by the use of spray containing ? per cent of lubricating or engine oil emulsified with potash fish-oil soap.
 Remarkably Effective Spray.
 The careful experiments in Florida by W. W. Yothers with various sprays
 
 and the orange white fly, as published in Farmers Bulletin 933, resulted in a formula of engne-oil spray which has been found remarkably effective in view of the small amount of oil used, namely, l per cent, emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. Mir. Yothers found that any one of several oils of the fubricating type. when thoroughly emulsified and used at the dilution in- dicated, was quite effective against these scale insects and the white fly, and these sprays have now come into large commercial use in Florida.
 The surprising efficiency of a spray containing such Il low per cent of oil suggested the desirability of testing sprays of this character against the San Jose scale. The abundance and destructiveness of the scale in the Bentonville section of Arkansas and the desire of growers for other than lime sulphur sprays, has offered ex- cellent opportunity for testing various dilutions of engine oil sprays against this pest. The experiments were car ried out by A. J. Alderman. of the office of deciduous fruit insect inves- tigations, and have included tests of lubricating oils of a strength of from one-half per cent to 4 per cent or : per cent, thoroughly emuisified with potash fish-oil soap. The results 7howed practically complete killing of the scale by one thorough application of the spray of strength as low as 2 Der cent of oil. Orchardists have been so pleased with the results that the per cent oil spray will be ex- tenslvely used in their present neces- sity of bringing the pest under subjee- tion.
 Injury by Oil Spray.
 A point yet to be established i'll con neetion with the present experiments is the possibly Injury from oil spray which may result to the trees, twigs, or fruit buds, and several seasons ex- perience will be necessary before a final decision on this question can be reached.

Select a semi-protected location from the southwest winds for your tomato plants for home use. Build ings, trees, hin or corn afford good protection. Do not set the plants too close to the protecting object or they will be injured by shade. Fertilize the soil. Set the plants deep in rows five feet apart and plants two to three feet in the rows.

 Formula for Stock Emulsion. Red Engine Oil or oil of similar grade ...t..................,.. gallon \ Water .....tF.... .s.....'.'..''..-.--do+ II Potash Fish-Oil Soap pound The oil, water and soap are placed in kettle or other receptacle and heated until the contents come to a boil. X brown scum appears on the surface of the mixture as 1t first be- gins to boil. After boiling for a few minutes the brown scum begins to dis appear and at this stage the kettle Is removed from the fire and the entire mixture is pumped twice under pres sure of about 60 pounds while still very hot. A proper emulsion cannot be made by stirring nor should the mix ture be allowed to cool before it is pumped. Too much pumping will often break up the emulsion. During pump ing. ordinary pump packing is burnt up rather quickly by the hot oil mix ture. For making the stock emulsion on a large scale an all-metal pump would be necessary.
 The stock emulsion contains 66 2-3 per cent of oil. To make ? per cent emulsion for use in 200 gallon spray tank it is necessary to use 6 gallons of the stock emulsion.
 Precaution should be taken to pre- vent the stock emulsion from freezing, which occurs at a temperature of about 15 degrees r. above zero.
 Use Soft Water.
 In case difficulty is experienced in making proper emulsion, due to hardness of the water, the water used should be softened by the addition of 1 pound of caustic soda or I've per 100 gallons of diluted spray. The caustic soda should be dissolved in or 3 gallons of water and then added to the spray tank and thoroughly stirred, after which the proper quantity Of stock emulsion can be added Any one of the following, or similar oils. may be used, some one or more of which can doubtless be obtained in most parts of the country:

WHo was the first to use the Gus

The general impression is. perhaps,
that to Mack Sennett, the comedy
producer. goes the doubtful honor.
Snitz Edwards. who is playing with

claims that he used the custard pie
thirty-five years ago. VIXEN he and
Sam Bernard put on a vaudeville act
In little concert hall in Hoboken.
The proprietor. German named
Gansbe-g. engaged Edwards and Ber-
nard at SIS week-not fifteen apiece,
but fifteen for the act. They went over
strong for a week and were approach
ed for a Encouragement.
We went back for another week
on three conditions" says Snitz. THE
first was that he raise the salary to
SIS; the second that he lend US his
head waiter to play straight part.
and the third that he provide one
custard pie every night for the props.
He agreed to all conditions and we
went on again. The last evening of
our engagement Gansberg didn't
show up with the pie until just be-
fore We were to go on the stage.
" I'm all tired ouid.' he explained.
I went 20 six bakeshops. but couldn't
