WEEKLY FARM LETTER
FROM COUNTY AGENT

Five pruning demonstrations were
held last week at Henry Schaals, Po-
tosi; Harvey Bass, Five Points; Ora
Hatch, Bloomington, Chas. Robertson,
Patch Grove, and Bert DiVall, Liber-
ty, with an average attendance of p
people. Demonstration work was
done on apple, cherry and plum trees,
grapes, raspberries, currants and
gooseberries. Those who attended
these meetings kept Mr.. Hartwell
quite busy answering questions per-
tanning to many different phases of
fruit growing.
At the home of Henry Schaal Po-
tosi, work in grating, as well as
pruning was taken up. At Harvey
Bass an orchard of 65 trees was dis
cussed and methods of pruning ap-
piled with result that we feel sure
we have a good many trees in that
section, which with proper sprays and
care should produce a good supply of
fruit
At Ora Hatch's at Bloomington,
work on pruning and spraying was
discussed with a goodly showing of
interest from all present At. Chas.
Robertson's orchard at Patch Grove,
along with the work of pruning, the
matter of spraying for Oyster Shell
Bark Louise was discussed and
demonstrated. In other words Dor
mant Sprays were explained and
demonstrated.

the tree. This scale and its damage
can be controlled now. If you at
tempt to control it later than this
week, providing buds come out as we
should expect they should, you will
do damage to the tree.
To control this scale put spray
on before the buds start to open at
all. Spray to use is one gallon of
Liquid Lime Sulphur to ten gallons
of water or in that proportion.
This spray should be put n some
day that is fairly warm and should be
applied in the forenoon so as to allow
it to have best results before the cold
evening comes.
Remember as follows: Cd Look at
your tree for scale; CD Buy liquid
lime sulphur; 81 Mix one gallon OF
liquid lime sulphur to ten gallons Of
water; (4) Apply while tree is dor
mant; 90 Apply fair day and in the
morning; co Cover ali parts of tree
bark; CD Don't forget to spray.

which the care of old and young
trees was taken up quite completely.
Dormant Spray.
Much is being said about the use of
a certain spray at this period of the
year. 1t is known as the Dormant
Spray. 1t is so called because it is
applied to the tree while the tree is
still dormant, or has not as yet open
ed up its buds.
The Dormant Spray is used to fight
the San Jose Scale, and apple aphids.
The main one of these that we have
to contend with is Oyster Shell Scale
and it can be found on goodly yum
Der 70 the trees in this county. Look
at your trees and see if you don't find
a small scale about Is of an inch
long on the branches. If such is the
case you should take steps at once to
protect your trees from this trouble.
Under every scale many little insects
are produced that suck the life out of

NIGHT LIFE
GROWS DIM
London Needs New Laws
Regarding Amusements

London, Aug. 8.-England needs q
new law regulating public houses and
places of entertainment, says the
owners of London's hotels and dance
halls, who have banded together to
obtain less stringent laws in the
matter of closing their places.
The present law, which is adhered
to vigorously by the authorities, was
passed in the reign of George II, in
1751, and requires that the dance
places of all classes close at the
stroke of midnight. Under this act
the authorities may grant special
licenses for specific places to remain
open until later, but generally they
stick to the Georgian habits, and
night life in London comes to q halt
at twelve o'clock.
AT the present time many of the
cafes in London haye permits to re-
main open few nights a week, but
there is nothing certain in the pre-
sent arrangements and they are
changed as often as a new council is
elected or the present members feel
inclined.
The hotel and cafe proprietors will
ask the london County Council -
draw up a new law to be presented to
parliament, and they have obtained
the backing of the Brighter Londo on"
movement committee which is seeking
to make London q rival of CAV Paris.

CHANGE ARISES
IN EDUCATION
Technical Education Loses in
Popularity of Past

New York, Aug. 8.-The late world
war, almost exclusively conflict of
science and engineering, gave ire
mendous impetus to public interest
in engineering study and resulted in
big increase of enrollments in the
technical departments Of American
colleges, according to statistics just
gathered for Mechanical Engineering,
official journal Of the American So
ciety Of Mechanical Engineers.
"Never in the history of the world"
says that publication, "were en-
gineers of greater Importance and in
greater demand than during the per-
iod from 1916 to 1920. The 1920 en-
'rollment was nearly 80 percent great
er than that of 1913 and 1914"
Figures assembled by Alan Bright,
registrar, and w. F. Rittman, profess
sor Of mechanical engineering. both
Of the Carnegie Institute Of Techno-
logy, show sharp decline in enroll
ments since the war. This, say the
investigators, is but natural reac-
ton from the abnormal increase of
1913 and 1919, aided by the industrial
depression Of 1920"
Many upper class students in the
middle west havS solved the problem
OF cheap education, according to the
report. by attending colleges near
home the first two years and later
entering a distant engineering school
with, advanced standing.
The statement IL based on enroll
rnent figures in 81 American colleges,
universities and institutes.
