Bowers Beach

The last weekend was practically
the opening of the season at this
place.
Not only in the amount of the visit
ors here at that time, but the success
they had while here, that prompted
their coming and their object in view
was even better than they at once an
ticipated.
Hook and line fishing was the OBJ
ject in view, especially 10 perhaps a
hundred or more from a distance, and
that desire was met by a greater sue
cess in that line than was really ex-
pected.
The weather on Friday and Satur-
day was ideal for such sport but Sun
day was. not so good on account of the
/ high winds that prevailed en- that
day.
On Friday of last week five fish
| fans from BOyerstOwn, Pa, came down
and engaged the services of Captain
Joe Cross and his boat and hied them
selves out to the fishing grounds.
They returned ashore in the after
noon with 176 fine fish of trout and
croakers, having such good success
they concluded to stay over night and
try them again. The next day, Satur-
day morning, they embarked by the
same boat, in charge of the same cap
tain and returned at noon with 156 as
fine ones as those of the previous day
making a total of 332 fish which |
they iced down and left for their !
homes happy.
A number of other boats with par
ties were out and had extraordinary
luck in their catches, but none were
equal to the first one quoted.
But from now on it will be an every
day business, weather permitting.
The seine fishermen are held up for
the time being on account of the tre-
mendous run of king crabs. On Mon
day evening of this week the seines
that made the effort had to be pulled
in end to, in badly tangled condition. !
On Tuesday of this week a Mr.. t
5earhart and wife and two friends, a 8
nan and woman, of Chester, Pa, came
lOwn and engaged Captain H. E. Cald- q
we'll to take them out to the fishing \
grounds. They returned with a catch
# so fish of unusual size, composed of 4
rout and croakers. One of the trout t
ipped the scales at 19 pounds and S
thers were nearly as heavy.
Mrs. w. S. Davidson is spending this
week in Philadelphia visiting friends.
Mrs. D. H. Humphrey, Mrs. Clara n

Acid Soils Insure Crop
Against Scab of Potato

The potato grower who would in
sure his crop against scab will plant
in a slightly acid soil, or apply am
mOnium sulphate or some similar
substance to give the soil an acid re-
action.
Sulphur may be used for this pur-
pose. but as an acid condition is un-
favorable for most farm crops, it
should be applied with caution and
only where scab has been trouble
some.
When sulphur is used, it should be
applied after plowing but before plant
ing. No general rule for the amount
required can be given. From 300 to
600 pounds to the acre will probably
be necessary, depending on how bad
the scab was the previous year.
The New York College of Agrlcul-
ture at Ithaca reports that the So
called inoculated sulphur, which has
been found effective in New Jersey,
may be equally efficient under New
York conditions, although so far the
tests made are not conclusive.

Reasons for Failure to
Obtain Stand of Clover

There may be several reasons for
the failure to get a good stand OF
sweet clover. The soil may be Slightly
acid, the seed bed may have been too
loose, the soil may not have been in
Oculated properly, and some Of the
seed may not have terminated yet
Sweet clover contains from 10 to SO
per cent of hard seed, which does not
germinate until it has lain in the soil
for considerable time. If scarifed
seed is used this particular trouble
may be avoided
It is not necessary to work the land
again if the seed is to be sowed in
February; it will be sufficiently COW
cred by the alternate freezing and
thawing. Sow about Is pounds of seed
to the acre. 1
Winter seedlings will often produce
one good cutting the first year and
two the second. The first cutting
should not be made until the crown
buds begin to appear on top Of the
roots. The cuttings of the second year
should be made just before the bloom
Juds appear.
