FORDS WATER
MOVE PLANNED
Much Has Been Done Already
to Better Conditions in
That Section


FORDS. April 27:-The water
committee investigating the water
shortage in this district as a result
of a plea made by Committeeman
Albert Larson this week for better
service is expected to have complete
information and such other data as
to determine the origin of the water
trouble, at the next meeting of the
township committee which will be
held in about three weeks. During
this time the committee and officials
of the water company will hold con-
ferences in an effort to cope with the
situation. If the water company fails
be a general belief that the township
may take some drastic action to get
a full supply of water.
1t was pointed out this morning by
a number of people that the fight
to get better water service had seri-
ously handicapped the progress of
this part of the township. 1t has
even handicapped the building of
homes and dwellings, several de-
clared.
While the matter is being consid-
cred by the township, residents here
are preparing to go before the town
ship committee and present a petit
ton for improvement of the water
supply. At that time, it is said some
of the property owners who have
stood the difficulties are planning to
come personally to the committee
and present the facts in connection
with the protests.
An improvement of the water
pressure along Ford avenue was re-
ported this morning. Whether or
not the improvement will last the
home owners were doubtful. They
believe that the extensive phblicity
given the matter by tie Evening
News will prompt quick action.

SMALL FLOCKS OF SHEEP
BRING FARMER BIG RETURNS

Bookings, S. d., apr. 11.-Farmers
in the state who have suffered from
lack of diversified farming will get
large returns from a small flock of
COED ewes, kept for wool, lambs and
meac, suggests J. c. Holmes, livestock
specialist in the extension service at
State college. The farmer may start
his hock with a few purebred ewes or
witt cheap western ewes which have
passed their period of usefulness. on
the range but which would be good
for two years with good care and feed
received in the small flock.
These range ewes, may be bought at
reasonable prices during the late sum-
mer in carload lots and diyided among
buyers, preferably so head to the farm.
One example Of large returns from a
small flock is given by Mr.. Holmes;
one instance 25 rugged Shropshire
ewes and one buck have been made
to produce $3.50 in one year in return
for the feed and care given them"

GARDEN AND III
SUGGESTIONS
BY Purley L. Keene,
S. ID. State College.

Suggested Spray Program for South
Dakota A satisfactory spray mixture
for apples and plums, we'll suited to
South Dakota conditions. is made by
adding s quarts of liquid commercial
~lime-sulphur and III pounds of pow
dered arsenate of lead to so gallons
of water. Spraying should always be
done under high pressure, at least 200
pounds. Bear In mind that the effici-
ency varies directly with the pressure
ard the thoroughness of application.
Cover every tree thoroughly and spray
at the proper time, as a few days
delay will greatly decrease the effect
iveness OF the work.
Apples
First Spray: When first flower buds
show pink. Pests controlled-Bud
moths. c~urculio, scab and ~leaf-eating
caterpillars.
Second Spray; As soon as the pc
tails fall from the blossoms and before
the calyx sup closes. Pests controlled
Codlin moth and those mentioned
under first spray.
Third Spray: From June 20 to June
50. Pests controlledxScab. apple
magot and le~af-eating insects.
Plums
First Spray: just before blossoms
open. Pests controlled-Brown rot
and curculio. plum pocket.
Second Spray: When plums are the
size Of Small peas. Pests controlled
Brown rot and c~urculio.
] wrHird Spray: Last week In June,
Pests controlled-Same as above.
The number of sprays could be pro-
Rtabiv increased in commercial or
chards. Where scale insects must be
combatcd a dormant spray of lime
sulphur at the rate of / gallon to 10
OF water should be applied in April
before any growth taxes place.
II plant lice are present. the tree
should immediately ne sprayed with
nicotine s~ulphate. " pint OF 40 per
cent and 3 pounds Of soft soap to 50
gallons of water. This may be added
to the regular mixture. but is more
effective II applied alone.
"A barrel outfit with double force
pump operated with hand force and
transported on skids OF wheelcart will
give fair satisfaction In small orchards
but In the commercial orchards a bow
err outfit Is preferable.

HAYNOW WINDOWS SAFEGUARD
AGAINST SUMMER FIRE LOSS

Brookings. s.. d., Apr. l1.-Plenty
of windows in the haymow are neces-
sary, not only for ventilation and
light. but as a practical safeguard
against. fires which might result from
spontaneous combustion, advises II. l..
Patty, extension engineer at State
college. Thsee or four full sized
windows are suggested for the hay
NOW. and these should be kept open
for six weeks after hay has been stor-
ed, as the fire danger is not over until
that period has elapsed.
A small circulation of air in the
winter from these windows will also
reduce the amount of frost deposited
on the ceiling and walls of the NOW,
as moisture hastens the decay of
wood.

CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES

Sufficient requests have been receiv-

farmers listed, seed will be obtained
for twenty-five boys and girls enrolled

About fifty bushels will be available

who have not yet sent in their re-
quest. These potatoes are costing
800 per bushel plus freight which
amounts to approximately 15c per bu-
shell. e. II. AicheT,

Weekly Service Hints Furnished By
State College Specialists
BY Mary Ann Gray

BY Mary Ann Gray
Decorative Stitches for spring and
summer garments need not be elabor-
ate or expensive to be attractive and
pretty" suggests Azalea Linfield, ex-
tension specialist in clothing at State
college. Simple embroidery or self
trimming add to the appearance of
garments. and simplicity in decoration
should be followed"
Self-trimming makes attractive de-
coration for any dress, especially for
summer clothes which must be laun-
dered and pressed frequently. 1t is
also economical. The following is a
suggested list of self-trimmipgs:
Pipings, folds, bindings, c%ordings;
shirrings, tucking, pleating, pockets;
bound bottonholes, covered buttons,
ruffies, reversed hens, applique.
