they were called.
They made a great deal of noise all
the time and ~squeaked and chatted
steadily.
Some people came and watched the
geese and the swans and the ducks

people could understand all that they
said.

Then there is a new Rhesus Mon

The recent celebration by the
League of American Pen Women of
their t~wenty-tifth anniversary, or

timely:
During the administration of Ben

of representatives, offered the bill, the
data for which was supplied by Mar
garet Sullivan Burke, newspaper cor

home and its name.
Afterward. when President Harrison
signed this bill, the pen with which
he signed II was presented to Mrs.

FOR SUMMER SPRAYING
More Care and Attention Necessary
Than Work in Winter-Combi-
nations Save Time.

Summer spraying requires more care
and attention than winter or dormant
spraying because summer sprays must
be applied after the buds or leaves are
started and hence when there is dan
ger of injuring the foliage. The com
mon spray for the control of chewing
insects Is arsenate of lead, but arse
nate of calcium is gaining in favor.
Paris green Is still used TO some ex-
tent on Irish potatoes and tobacco.
Nicotine sulphate, er tobacco parts,
sometimes called biaekleaf. is effective
against plant lice. Bordeaux mixture
is an effective spray when reduced to
summer strength for apples, pears,
grapes and other fruits.
But there are combina lions fer vari-
u fungus diseases and insect pests
that save time and trouble and are
highly recommended by practical or
chardists and gardeners.

In 10 southern states 2,042 boys aud
girls club members last year paid all
or part of their school expenses from
money earned in club work. In other
sections l.344 former club members are
now attending agricultural colleges,
most of whom are partly paying their
expenses from club-werk earnings
This does not include 465 girls taking
home economics in various colleges.
The number of boys and girls in all
the states attending high schools, nor

ships woa for club work is 1855.
These clubs are an important feature
of extension work as carried on by the
United States Department of Agricul-

cultural colleges.

These boys and girls did not wait
until ready to go to high school or
college before starting their club work
and savings. Some began two, three.
or more years before, or, as n boy
said, as soon as he could, meaning 10
years-the youngest age at which
children are admitted to the clubs.
