Must Spray While Fruit
Trees Are Still Dormant

Those orchard owners who have not
already sprayed for San Jose scale
are. reminded by the college horticul-
turists and entomologists that this
work, to be effective and free from
injury to trees, must be done while
the trees are still dormant.
The presence of San Jose scale in
an orchard may be recognized, says
Prof. A. f. Conrad, entomOlogist,
Clemson college, by a grayish incrus-
tation on the bark. This is caused
by the insects completely covering it..
Rubbing the bark with knife handle
or the thumb nail will cause an eXu-
dation of Il yellowish liquid caused by
the crushing of thousands of these
orange colOred insects. On the fruit
1t may be recognized by reddish spots.
When the bark is cut it shows red
dish color, and trees heavily infested
are dying back.
One of the approved winter sprays
should be given without delay. These
sprays cannot be given in the summer
when the trees are in foliage and
should be applied before the buds
start.
The two sprays most effective are
lime-sulphur spray or oil emulsion.
The limesulphur spray may be pur-
chased in the market or it may be
made at home either by steam or in
an ordinary kettle, as directed in In
formation Card No. 81, which may be
had upon application. The oil emul-
sions may be purchased in the mar
ket or they may be made at home
according to directions furnished upon
application.

Flavor of Potatoes.
Forced Egg Production
With Artificial Light

Using artificial lights on pullets to
force egg production during the first
year and letting the hens work under
natural conditions the second year is
the practice recommended by the de-
partment of poultry husbandry ut
full experimentation with forced egg
production under artificial lights.
The forced production has been
found advisable only in the case of
birds which are not to be bred the
following spring, for forcing future
breeders, it has been found causes
them to produce the eggs which are
less fertile and which hatch poorly. In
other words, forced production by ar
tiiicial light plan makes weak breeders.
Artificial lighting, when properly
used, has decided advantages, how
ever. 1t means more winter eggs.
The lighting lengthens the hens work
ing day, and more work means more
feed consumed, which brings about Il
greater production Of eggs.
The increased production is secured,
however, only at this season. The
total yearly production, it has been
found. is not increased. The gain in
production comes at the season Of the
year when The price of eggs is high,
which makes this method worth con-
sldering.

Covered Farm Machinery
Doubles Length of Life

Double the length of the life of
farm machinery by giving it shelter
that will protect it from "old man
weather. That is the way +. w. Duff
fee of the department of agricultural
engineering, University of Wisconsin,
puts it,
people are learning that the life
of farm machinery is really consider
ably longer than they formerly
thought. Binders, mowers and other
farm machinery of this type, If well
housed should last 20 TO - years
but manure spreaders, even Of the best
make. would probably not last longer
than ten years at the most "hen
housed" he continued.
"The average investment Tor 1arn
machinery on n 1G0-acre farm Is ap-
nroximateiy $1,000, according to the
1900 census. A well constructed ma
chine shed. suitable for farm or loo
acres. would cost about $500 for frame
construction, and for sheds built from
noles and rough boards the shed VIII
oost hut fraction of that figure Then
after the shed is constructed, the ap-
nlication of a coat of paint once IN
wbile will make the shed last ~ 10

by Duffee.

Should Spray Back Yard
Trees in Proper Season

Back yard fruit trees should be
sprayed in proper season to insure
good fruit and freedom from disease.
For oyster-shell, scurfy and San Jose
scale on apple or pear trees, spray
when trees are dormant, using two
quarts of lime sulphur to five gallons
of water. Cover the trees thoroughly.
For apple scab, curculiO, spring can
ker-worm or green fruit worm. spray
when the blossom buds have separated
but before individual blossoms have
opened, using one quart of lime sui
phur to five gallons of water. or bor-
deaux mixture to which two and one
half ounces dry arsenate of lead Is
added. The second application should
be made when % per cent Of the bios
som petals have fallen. using one pint
lime sulphur. one and one-half ounces
dry lead arsenate to five gallons of
water. This should catch the codling
moth in addition to the pests men
toned for the first application. An
other application should be given two
or three weeks after the petals have
fallen, 20 make a clean job of it.

ORCHARD
GLLANINO
TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN
SPRAYING FRUIT TREE

Inc manner in which spray ma
teriais are applied is all-important,
observes Clemson college writer
Inc hrst essential is that every
fruit and leaf on the tree or vine
should he covered with a thin film of
spray; and to do this the spray must
he applied with sufficient force to
produce a fine mist which covers and
adheres to the fruit and leaves.
The nozzle on the end or the spray
rod should be set at an angle of
about twenty-five degrees. This wilt
enable the operator by turning the
rod to force the spray upw,Ird as
well as downward in order that Iotl
sides of the fruit may be covered
The foliage and fruit on the
branches near the center of the tree
should be thoroughly covered with
the spray by thrusting the spray roc
through the opening in the branches
from at least three or four positions.
In applying the spray it is necessary
ia take advantage of the wind. Other
3ise the spray will be driven away

1t. With little experience in han
ding the spray rod. one will soon un.
derstand how this is done.
While every portion of the fruit
and foliage should be covered with
spray, the nozzle should not be held
In one position long enough to drench
the foliage, but should be moved slow.
ly to prevent loss of spray by drip
ping from the foliage.
The effectiveness of the spray will
depend to some extent on the weather
conditions. Frequently rain will pre-.
vent the spray being applied at the
proper time, and it is during this
moist period that the fungous diseases
develop most rapidly. When heavy
rains occur Immediately after the
spray has been applied and before it
has had time to dry, a second applica.
ton should be applied as soon as
possible.

Use Of Disk Harrow Is
Favored on Old Pasture

If an old pasture is to be seeded to
sweet clover, and particularly If 1t Is
on piece of land that Is not especial
ly well suited TO farming purposes so
that II Is not desirable to have 1t
plowed, | would advise the use of the
disk harrow on 1t this fall and then
go on and seed unscarified sweet clo-
yer seed at the rate of II to 10 pounds
to the acre. In seeding the unscarl-
fled seed | should want to have d ger
mination test on 1t and know the per-
centage of hard seeds. Some unscari-
seed that will grow Immediately, that
is, it is not hard seed
The only advantage of seeding the
unscarlied seed in the fall Is that the
work can be done away from the pres
sure of spring work and. further
more, it will give the seed the full ad-
vantage of early seeding the follow
ing spring. The freezing and thawing
of early spring will usually soften the
seed that lies near the surface sufli-
Where spring seeding is practiced the
scaritied seed should be used.
| should prefer TO use the white
blossom sweet clover for pasture pur-
poses because of its longer season Of
growth and greater yielding capacity.

Charged With Drunken
Driving

New Hope-Sunday night a car
driven by Augustus Heston, of Buck
ingham, ran into the rear of
Philadelphia car on York Road be-
tween Holicong and Aquetong The
occupants of the Philadelphia car
claimed that Heston was intoxicated.
He was accompanied by Ray Barnes
and John Sheehan, and all three
of them received minor bruises and
scratches. They were treated by DR..
r. A. Leiby, of this borough. Dr.
Leiby did not learn the names of the
Philadelphians who preferred charges
against Heston for driving while in
toxicated.
Heston was arranged before JUS
tice Hendricks, Of Doylestown, ON
Monday and held under $500 bail
for the September term of court. In
defense, Heston stated that the
Philadelphia car was parked in the
middle of the road. The Philadel
phians claimed that they found a
bottle of liquor in Heston's car.
Barnes and Sheehan were dismissed.
Tony Rosso. local taxi driver, be-
came involved in the affair when
he was called to take Heston, Barnes
and Sheehan to Buckingham. The
Philadelphians refused to allow them
to leave, offering to take them to
buckingham in their own car. But
as there were six occupants in the
Philadelphia car, Heston and his
friends preferred not to accompany
ttee 1t was charged by the Phila-
delphians that during the argument
Rosso pulled revolver on them. At
