Weather Bureau
Forecasts Help
Of Great Importance to
Fruit-Spraying Service
of State College.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In addition to the harvest weather
forecast service in New York state,
the weather bureau of the United
States Department of Agriculture pro-
vides forecasts which are of great i'm
portance to the fruit-spraying service
maintained by the New York State
College of Agriculture. The purpose
ers in all matters pertaining to the
spraying of fruit for the control of in
sect and other pests.
County Agent Is Head.
The county agricultural agent is at
the head of this service in each coun-
ty. He bears the responsibility Of
notifying the growers in his county,
by telephone, Rail or other means,
whenever a spray application is advis-
able. Most growers are prepared to
spray Immediately on receipt Of his
advice, and do so in accordance with
his directions. New York fruit grow
ers spend approximately 100000 an
nually in spraying operations.
In general three to five spray appli-
cations are made each season. 1t is
Of the utmost Importance that each be
applied at exactly the right time,
neither too early nor too late, to avoid
loss of labor and material and to catch
the pests under exactly right condi-
tons. In the case of apple scab, for
example, widespread and injurious
fungus pest, the scab remains prac-
tically dormant during fair weather,
but becomes actively infectious dur
ing rainy spells. The ideal condition
for control of this pest, therefore, is
two or three days of fair weather to
apply the spray, followed by a rainy
period.
4 Forecasts Essential.
Weather forecasts are essential in
connection with the control of this
pest by spraying, and for practically
all fruit pests. The county agent, In
preparing his advices to growers,
takes account of the probable weather
condition for three or four days in
advance and the condition of buds and
fruit as reported by the field agent
who travels about the county observ-
ing the development of the fruit buds
and also of the various pests. Twelve
counties have organized for this work,
and all of them regard the weather
bureau forecasts as indispensable.

Destructive Qualities
of Heavy MOtOrtruckS

Miles and miles of ribbonlike roads
are the hope of every motorist, and
when speaking Of motorists these days
it touches almost every home in the
country. But, though the road build
ers lay them smooth, they seemed to
have so far been unable to cope with
the destructive qualities of heavy mo-
tortrucks now used to a large extent
in commercial transportation on
smooth surfaces.
Millions of dollars have been spent
and are being spent annually for the
extension to all parts of the country
Of good roads, in answer to the de-
mands of the people for easy internal
means of communication by way Of the
motorcar. Long-distance touring shows
yearly increase, and motortruck
transportation is increasing.

COOPERATIVE Drying
Plants Are Favored
Found Successful in Increas-
ing Profit From Orchard.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Community fruit-drying plants have
been found to be a successful means
Of increasing the orchard profits Of the
small growers who have surplus
which they are unable to market in
any other way, according to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture if the total quantity of such sur
plus in a community is sufficient to
justify the necessary expense. The
plant should be governed by the same
fundamental rules that have been
found necessary in the development of
other cooperative ventures.
1t must first be definitely ascer-
tanned whether the quantity of I'M
used fruit is actually such as will
make the establishment of an evap-
Grating or drying plant profitable
This information can only be OBJ
tanned by careful canvass Of the dis
The making Of such a canvass is a
task calling for conservatism and the
exercise Of good Judgment, for the
reason that unintentional but gross
overstatement of the unmarketed and
unused portion Of the fruit which
could be used as evaporation stock is
the rule rather than the exception. 1t
must be borne in mind that in the
case Of apples, only mature, reason
ably sound fruit of fair size will make
marketable dry product and that
estimates which include premature
drops, specked and decayed fruits,
and small-sized cider apples are
worse than useless because mislead-
ing. The canvass should take into
account all fruits grown in the dis
trict, the location of the center of
supply, the length of time over which
the ripening Of each will extend, and
the maximum quantity per day which
the plant will be required to handle.
With this data in hand it will be
possible to determine the size and
type Of evaporation needed. AS the
fruits will in most cases be varied the
plant should be of a general-purpose
type, so constructed that it will han
die equally well all materials, such as
apples, peaches, plums and prunes.

Weapons to Be Employed
Against Flies on Farm

If it is impossible to get rid of the
breeding places of flies on the farm
the best protection to the animals
will be found In the use of repellants
or mixtures which when applied to the
animals will prevent the flies from at
lacking them, according to George
Dean, Kansas state entomologist.
He suggests the possibility of de-
stroying the breeding places of the
horn fly, which is found in clusters
on the shoulders, back and TANKS of
cattle in pasture, by scattering the
animal droppings. Old rotting straw
piles are the breeding places of the
stable or biting fly, and Professor
Dean suggests the advisability, If pos
sible, Of cleaning up or doing away
with them.

Grit Is Most Essential
to Health of Hen Flock

Grit is essential to the health Of
fowls and to economy in feeding. Grit
takes the place of teeth in preparing
the feed for further digestion and is
required for the proper preparation
of feed in the gizzard. When the feed
is not properly taken care of in this
organ an undue strain is thrown on
the fowls system, often resulting in
disease, and also allowing much Of the
nutriment to pass through the bird
body without being absorbed. In ev-
cry pen or yard box of grit should
be kept. Recent investigators have
asserted that grit Is part Of the neces-
sary feed, giving the fowls strong
bones and a bright plumage.

Sudden Change in Milk
Checks Laying of Flock

Many people who feed milk in some
form to their laying flock regularly
have been obliged to learn one thing
about the feeding. A sudden change
from sweet milk one day to sour the
next, or back again, caases digestive
troubles as rule, and either checks
the laying Of the flock or upsets the
feeding rations so that the mash or
grain feed varies from day to day.
Buttermilk, skinned milk, sour or
curd or sweet milk are all desirable
feeds for chickens, but they should be
fairly regular feeds, or fed in small
amounts, If change Is necessary.

Diseases Of Raspberry
Plants Hard to Detect

While most of the diseases which
attack raspberry plants cannot be de-
tected on the plants themselves. after
they have been dug care should be
taken not to use plants which show
hard knots or gals on the roots.
These are likely to spread from plant
to plant and the raspberry fields in

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Edited by Dr.. Jas. A. Fraser
"The ssothful man saith; there is a lion in the way."

"The s{othfM man saith; there is a lion IN the Woy."
History tells us of the wisdom ofSSolomon, King OF Israel.
He was a wise man, and wealthy. 1t was Solomon who write,
1.-The slothful man said; there is a lion in the way" TO be sure.
a lion is a very bad animal to meet, and it were well for us to
he on our guard when he is around. Now, there are many kinds
of lions.
There is the lion of the African jungle, strong and ferocious,
yet withal cowardly. He seldom Graves a fight with animals his
own sige. Rather does he prey upon the small deer which roam
the woods and the plains.
Then there are the great stone lions; the product of our
sculptors, which adorn the entrance of some great building.
There are, too, the toy lions, with which we play. The last two
lions we are going to talk about.
1t appears to me that Solomon had in mind some boy or
girl when he wrote that verse. Perhaps, he had in mind a lazy
man. It not the world full of boys and girls? Do we not know
way" All, that man was too lazy to work! here is what Solo
man means. The lazy man was full of excuses. Now l wonder
if there are not many little boys and girls, who have the same
spirit as this lz lyman? Let us see.
Here is a boy who is playing with his companions. 1t is
near to the dinner hour. His mother has worked hard all morn
ing preparing a nice dinner for the family. She needs a pail
of water from the spring and calls and asks William to fetch
it for her. But William does not want to go. He is having such
his mother, would be to waste a lot of time. He thinks up an
excuse. Mother" he says, there is a great big lion down there
by the spring, and l can not CO." Do you see? There is no
lion there at all. But William, who is both lazy and selfish,
boys and girls having the William spirit? Listen!
Beware of the Excuse lion.
Beware also of the Fear lion.
This lion is very active and ugly. There are boys and girls
love the best things in life, and to always do that which is well
pleasing. But they are afraid. The FEAR lion isn the way.
And that fear lion is just another boy or girl, who will perhaps
make fun of them for doing right: they are afraid of a little
ridicule. There is a man in the Old Testament who was very
~strong-Samson. And the first thing Samson did was to kill a
lion. The Grecian Hercules also killed q lion; and one of the
6rst lions bays and girls must kill Is the FEAR lion; and don't

The Red Cross And
National Disasters

Maintenance of competent emer-
gency machinery working with
speed and concerted effort in dis
aster relief, which is a mandate in
the charter grated to the American
Red Cross by Congress. found full
justification in the Japanese earth
quake disaster, according to detail
ed reports of that immense opera
ton. Fresh in the minds of every
one is the prompt action of the
Greatest Mother in this terrible dis
aster.
When the President directed the
Red Cross to take charge of this
work, it was possible without anv
hesitation to call into action 5000
chapters in all parts of the country.
No time was wasted in setting up
organizations through which to raise
this necessary fund but because of
the permanent organizations in
practically every county in the
United States the initial fund OF
$4,000. 900 was raised in nine days.
Within three weeks more than $1O,-
O0O,0 900 had been contributed thru
this official organization.
In the United States alone from
June 80, 1922 to July 1, 1928, the
American Red Cross administered
relief to ITO disasters at a cost Of

total property loss was estimated at
$26,71O,0O0. These disasters rang
ed from Maine to California. from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mex
leo an dinclude serious disasters of
all kinds.
In the Central Division of which
this state is a part, Manager Walter
Davidson was called upon during
that time to give service and to adj
minister relief in nine disasters.
Central Division Chapters are alert
to the necessity of keeping their or
CARNATIONS intact so that when
emergency arises, they are prepared
to act. Chief among these disasters
we're the floods along the MISSISSIPPI
pi river in Illinois, the devastating
tornado in the St. Croix Falls dis
trict Of wisconsin, the Frontier
Mine horror in Kemmerer, Wyo.,
where 100 men were entombed and
the recent floods in Council Bluffs,
Iowa.

tanned in Central Division states by
the National Red Cross. Thus at a

AGAINST OIL CO.
DISMISSED BY COURT

SHELBY, Jan. 29.-One Of the most
important legal cases, as regards the
Shely-K n-Sunburst field, was de-
cided in Judge Pomeroy's court Satur-
Gay when the suit of Martin Sohlberg
against the Sunburst Oil and Gas
Company was dismissed on motion of
the attorneys for the defendant cor
poration. This case, which is n of
four identical in effect, involved the
validity of leases taken by Gordon
Campbell on the Shelby-Kevin-Sun-
burst field when he first started OPP
erations here. The leases were after
wards transferred to the Sunburst Oil
and Gas Company, and the latter
were made defendant in the suit to
cancel.
Plaintiffs claimed that drilling was
not begun in the time specified in the
leases; that proper diligence in the
completion of the work vas not
shown, and that the depth attained
in validating wells did not approx
mate the depth demanded by the
leases.
Judge Pomeroy, after hearing testl-
niony, heard arguments on a motion
to dismiss, in which it was claimed
by the defendants that Gordon Camp
bell has spent about 100000, the
Sunburst company $500 1000, and in
dependents and others more thar
100000 on the lands covered by th'
leases taken at that time, thus show
ing an intent to fulfill the clauses OF
the lease in question. The Judge sus-
tanned the motion to dismiss.
The three remaining cases were sci
for trial early in March. An appeal
will undoubtedly be taken, as this case
VIXEN finally decided win settle FOL

ing many thousands of acres of vaIu
able oil lands in the SheIby-Kevin
