COMMUNITY MEETING

The Kingston community meeting
was very fine indeed. The school
house was full of people. The pro-
gram was excellent. J. L. Green, the
president, presided. The singing,
reading and instrumental music was
enjoyed by all
Chas. Jet spoke by outlining his
subject on the blackboard-"How to
Get the Most Out of An Acre of
Land" His talk and outline cannot
be valued in dollars and cents to the
farmers. 1t was practical and to the
point. 1t meant Dollars in Dirt"
sure enough.
Mr.. Kenney, from State College of
Agriculture, talked about Soy beans
and explained how to grow them sue
cessfully. He urged that all farmers
grow the crop. He said that it would
be worth while to grow Soy beans if
the crop only rotted on the ground
He also explained how to plant corn
by planting at the same time, using
from one to two bushels for each 10
ceres.
County Agent Spence gave a Ian
tern slide talk on Junior Club work
by showing Club activities of Junior
Week at Lexington, judging cattle,
raising hogs, poultry, canning, etc.

Our quality and quantity Of fruit
depends on the care Of our trees anC
vines. Since San Joes Scale is rag
| ing at a rapid rate in this section,
would advise all farmers who hav,
few or many fruit trees or crap,
vines to spray during March with a
limo-suluhur solution.
Liquid form, gallon to 5 gallons
of water.
Powder form, pound to gallons
Of water.
See TO it that the trees or vines
are thoroly saturated with the spray.

For Cooling Moth:

Of arsenate Of lead.
If powder form lime-sulphur is
used make it pound to Is gall

Apply just as bloom falls.
For Second Hatch of Cooling Moth;
Same spray as above-applied two
weeks later.
For Bitter Rot, Sooty Fungus, Black
Rot, Etc:
Same as for codling moth.
Applied about August |.
In case Arsenate of lead paste is
used 3 pounds should be used instead
of 1 1-2 pounds.
II you don't know what your trees
need or what insects or disease is
working on them, use the first and
last spray mentioned. All orchards
need these two applications.
Every farmer should own a spray
pump. II should be used often in his
garden and potato patch The spray
pump is not TO be used for orchard
and grape vines and set away, but
should be kept in good running order
and well loaded with arsenate of lead

when first discovered, and this is just
as the potato peeps thru the ground.
The bug is generally waiting for the
potato. The melon vines and cucum-
Der vines need spraying also.

PRUNING AND SPRAYING

The time is at hand for all farm.
ers who own fruit trees to prune and
spray. March is one of the best
months to do this work. Pruning
should be done before spraying, in
order tc save spraying material.
Prue out all dead, broken, crossed,
and injured wood. Thick bushy Sec
tons should be thinned out so as TO
let sunlight in and plenty of air for
circulation during the thick foliage
