TARIFF HURTS FARMERS
Republican Law Fosters Price.Fixine
And Raises Living Costs.

Milwaukee, Wis.-Republican par
tssans who point to the tariff as a
boon to farmers and a blessing to
labor are read a good lecture in an
editorial in the Milwaukee Journal a
few days ago.
Under the system of ce-fixing
fostered by the Observation-Disclosures
tariff" says the Journal, "the average
farmer has no chance to save money
long. For the tariff enters into nearly
everything he does not produce on
his own land; and as farm prices go
up other prices keep leap ahead"
The editorial then declares that
'labor, too, is told that the tariff has
maintained good wages and upheld the
standard of living" and then points
out that "all the time large employers
were bringing thousands of foreigners
into this country"

will remove all blight limbs and
cankers on the larger limbs or the
trunk, advises the u. of w. Agricul-
tural College. This work may be
done to the best advantage while
pruning the orchard this winter.
The organisms which cause blight
are held over in body cankers on
some varities of apple trees such as
Yellow Transparent, Grimes Golden,
and some crab apples. In the spring
a syrupy liquid exudes from these
cankers. This liquid is alive with
bacteria. Insects carry it to blossoms
and new shoots, thus spreading the
infection.
All dead patches of bark on the
trunk and large limbs should be shaw
ed off and the wounds painted over.
Blight limbs should be cut off to 5
inches below the dead portion. Burn
the prunings and shavings to be on
the safe side.
We plan to hold few pruning
demonstrations this spring. Any
one wishing such work in their COM
munity should write to me.
We are getting out sales list to
be distributed over the county. If
you have anything to list along the
line of seed grains, live stock,
poultry, machinery, ETC., please let
me hear from you.
The alfalfa seed shipments have
arrived and those who have placed
their orders will receive notices as 10
where and when to get the seed.
those who have rot ordered alfalfa
seed and wish to get some should
place their orders at once SIS we still
hope to be able to fill further orders.
Orders for Soybeans are being
placed and if you plan to use any
this spring orders should be placed
soon as there will be large demand
for same and it is always hard to get
the seed late in the season. There
fore, place your soybean orders now.
If you have not sold your tabacco
and wish to join the State Tobacco
Pool you can do so by signing a con-
tract at this office and paying the
regular fee.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY H. G. seyforth.

Selecting the proper spraying out
fit is often a difficult thing to do, es-
pecially if one is buying an outfit for
the first time. 1t is poor economy
to buy so small an outfit that after a
year or two, it will be inadequate in
capacity to spray the orchard within
the time which the spraying must be
done to be effective.
For small home orchards of Is to
so trees, barrel sprayer, equippe !
with the proper spray hose, rod and
nozzel will serve the purpose nicely.
However, one must not forget that
it requires two men to operate bar
rel sprayer and that at best the work
requires long, hard and continuous
pumping in order to keep the pres
sure high enough for an efficient
spray. II present day high wages
and scarcity Of labor is properly
taken into consideration, it will be
found that over a period of years, it
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1924-03-13

is cheaper to buy power sprayer
even for the rs to so tree home or
chard. For the orchard of 25 to 100
trees, power pump with two horse
power engine and 100 gallon tank
will be very satisfactory. This out
fit will have enough pressure to sup
ply one gun or two large nozzels.
For larger orchards or for spray
rings where a large number of trees
are to be sprayed, probably from 600
to 1900 trees, the Triplex or Duplex
sprayer with a three or four horse
power engine and maximum capacity
Of to 10 gallons per minute dis
charge at $50 to 800 lbs. pressure, is
probably the best machine to buy.
It must be remembered that the
spray outfit can be used in spraying
the potatoes if provided with broom
and nozzels and also for whitewash-
ing the barn and the hen house. Be-
sides this, the engine can be used for
various other purposes on the farm
for which power is required.
Apple trees will be less likely to
suffer from fire blight during the
coming season if the orchard owner

said:
Your statement, published this

standing in the business world would
not separate himself from his bust
