SUGGESTIONS ON
SPRAYING GIVEN
Henry County Farm Bureau
Offers Timely Sugges-
tons on Guarding
Orchards.
TELLS RIGHT FORMULA
Also Tells Time and Best
Method for Applying
Mixture.

Mount Pleasant. Iowa, Feb. -.
With the approach OF the season OF
spraying orchards. the Henry count!
farm bureau is offering some timely
suggestions as to the met hod found hes,
adapted to orchards in that vicinity
and the materials that go to make up
good spray.
The suggestions are given below:
The first spray should be applied Just
as the blossoms are showing pink and
before they open. Two kinds of spray
only are applied. lime sulphur and ar
senate of lead. The lime sulphur is
applied for apple scab, oyster shell and
scurvy scale.
The Proper Spray.
L" control these diseases about five
Sa Hons of liquid lime sulphur or Is
pounds of dry lime sulphur should be
used in fifty gallons of water. Add
TO this, one and Il half pounds of dry
arSenatc of lead for leaf eating insects.
ii is important that the spray should
be applied before the leaves open. other
wise the lime sulphur will burn them.
The Second Spray.
The second spray contains the same
spray materials and snoud be applied
just as about % per cent of the bloss-
omS have fallen. This line use only
five quarts Of liquid line sulphur to
fifty gallons of water with one and
one half pounds of dry ar>cnate of
lead
For those who are spraying for the
first time. the first formula should he
used
To those who have prarticcd spray
ing. il lighter application of lime sui
phur. such us about Ia quarts and one
and half pounds of lead arsenal e
powder should be used
The time of applying this spray is
most important. the thorouglnc>S of the
job is of second consideration If the
spray is not applied at the right time.
ii is of no value because these diseases

The annual Christmas plans OF

there will be enough to reach all
the unfortunates who would other
wise go short at Christmas time.
Some who do not want to be over

old dependents forgotten are ap-
pealing to the Salvation Army al
ready. Captain and Mrs. Hol-
brook are going to put forth every
effort to make this one OF the best
Christmas efforts that they have
had. While 1t is understood that
the poor children are to be given
the things that they most need,
Christmas is to be made brighter
for them. The old folks will also
be made happy.
Little attractive Christmas col
lection boxes are being put in the
stores and the regular Christmas
kettles are to be put on the street
corners next Saturday.

CLEAR 1900
ACRES OF RODENTS

Dallas, Dec. 7.-Over 1000
acres OF infested land have been
cleared of pocket gophers, ac,
cording to the annual report Of
County Agent Paul Carpenter,
just, compiled, The bulk OF this
acreage lies in the Rickreall and
Oak Grove country with a large
block in the vicinity of Monmouth
The cost is said not to have ex-
ceeded 12h cents an acre in any
instance.
/. N. Gabrielson, who has
charge of rodent work through
out the state for the federal fore
es spent Wednesday and Thurs
day In Polk county going over
the treated area and interview
ing owners. He expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the
manner in which the people of
Polk county have cooperated with
the county agent and his office
in putting forward the gopher
poisoning campaign. POLK coun-
ty was selected for the first at
tempt to poison out gophers over
large areas for the simple reas-
on that your farmers seemed to
be keenly interested and were
ready to go in on the PROPOSE
tion," Mr.. Gabrielson said.
Plans call for Joining the Rick
reall and Monmouth blocks as
soon as possible. To this end a
meeting of land holders is being
called for next Monday night at |
