Oil Spray for Scale.

On the basis of 1929 results, the
use of lubricating oil emulsion seems
to be a highly satisfactory method of
controlling San Jose scale on fruit
trees, according to w. P Flint, H.
linois state entomologist. The emul-
sion Is made from one gallon of high
grade paraffin oil, the one-fourth gal
lon of water and two pounds of potash
fish-oil soap. The water, soap and
oil are placed in a kettle or other re-
ceptacle and heated to boiling. The
mixture Is boiled for about five min
utes, care being taken not to burn
1T. Then 1t Is removed from the fire
and pumped thoroughly twice at
pressure of so to 100 pounds, before
it cools. 1t is used in two per cent
solution of water. The use of this
emulsion is advised where Iime-sul-
phur has not been satisfactory. Fur
Their work will be done with the oil,
however, before it is recommended
unqualifiedly as substitute for lime
sulphur

deliberately lied:

She did not wait to hear the ques-

stairway, her shimmering silken
gown streaming out behind her, trans
forming her. he thought, into a sort
of angel scurrying from danger.

CAPTER III.

In the rambling Southern Cali
fornia home of the Emersons there
was a matter of love coming rapidly
to its CRISIS. Ruth, in the weeks
since the departure of her father,
had come to the conclusion that of
all the young men in the world, Bob
was the one of her choice. In the
garden OF the Emerson home she and
her ardent young wooer were engaged
in the age-old game of determining
just how best the matter could be
placed before the proper parties for
acceptance and approval.
Ruth, dear" the boy was saying,
timidly placing an arm about the
waist of the girl there isn't any
use going on any longer with our
hearts just dying to be made into
one, is there?"
Ruth, young though she was, real
lied this was pretty silly way of
putting it, but then she recalled that

for her Bob, had also said some USE

That evening John Emerson stood
in all his splendor before the entrance
of the brownstone house of the Tuyls.
1t had seemed to him as he had as
sisted the dainty young Gloria from
the limousine that she was more than
ever possessed of all those particular
charms which were so dear and so
necessary to him if life were to be
worth living Her dancing eyes gazed
into his own with feeling, under
standing; her shining pink nails and
trim silver-buckled slippers added to
her general beauty more, he thought,
than they had added before. He stood
before her, silent, still holding her
hand in his own, and a wave of hap
piness came over him. He was not
too old for this girl, the dearest play
fellow he had ever met! No, not too
old Just the proper age. Dignity
and beauty, he thought to himself,
walk hand in hand with just the
correct balance. He was proud of |
her. Proud of himself
She was saying:
John, you'll not care if | ask you
4 very personal question will you?
It's quite personal, now. Will you?"

aces almost met "Of course not.
