Second Hindu God

In Hindu mythology yishnu is the
second god of the "trimurti," or trim
ity, in which he figures as the pre-
server of the universe. says the De-
troit News. His friendship for man
was manifested in his avatars, or in
carnations. which according to some
N thorities number 10. and according
to others %. OF these ayata.s the
two principal ones were the seventh,
as Rama, the hero of the Ramay ana.
and the eighth as Krishna, the hero of
the Mahabharata. Vishnu is generally
represented as dark-blue man, having
four arms, and is worshiped chiefly
by the middle classes. He originally
figured as sun-god in the Oldest
Vedas, but gradually increased in i'm
portance until in the later Purana he
became the Supreme Deity.

Small Boy Was Not
Taking Any Chances

Five-year-old William came down
from st. Louis with his mother to
pass the weekend with his aunt and
little cousin, Virginia, the latter also
five years old.
When bedtime came Williams moth
er found that in the hurry of getting
away she had forgotten to bring her
little sons pajamas.
"Never mind" said the aunt, "he
can wear one of Virginia's night
gowns"
William looked his extreme disdain.
Being too well behaved to make a
scene. however, he went silently and
dutifully to bed. But the next morn
ing when she went into Williams
room, his mother saw the nightgown
lying in the middle of the floor.
WILLIAM" She said when he had
awakened. "why did you take off this
nightgown?" And she held the dis
carded garment accusingly before his
eyes.
''Do you Think" he asked wither-
ingly, that I was going to wear that
thing all night and wake up this
morning a girl?'-Kansas City Star.

INSURE NEXT CROP
BY CLEAN ORCHARD

Cleanup measures, with the help
OF sunlight, will greatly aid in pro-
longing the life of the tree and will
act as insurance for the next crop,
says George r. Hoffman,. associate
horticulturist, at Clemson college who
warns fruit growers that no chain is
stronger than Its weakest link, and
that disease and insects attack trees
and any form of life in the weakest
individuals or parts of the Individual.
Applying this truth to fruit trees,
orchard owners should go over their
trees and remove from both bearing
and nonbearing trees all weak, dis
eased, dying and dead twigs and
branches and all decayed fruits
All bearing trees. especially the
peach and the plum, should be gone
over and all undesirable material re-
moved, carried from the orchard and
destroyed. as soon as possible after
the harvest season. The careful live
stock grower would not think of al
lowing diseased animals to remain In
his herd. Why should the fruit grow
er not follow this rule of safetyf
When diseased, insect-infected, broken
branches, and decayed fruits are al
lowed to remain in the orchard. cOndi-
tions are ideal for the development of
brown rot at the opening of the next
season and for shot or pin-hoe bor-
er during the late summer.
Very weak trees may be fertiliZed
ms soon as the crop is off with either
SID commercial fertilizer or well-rot-
ted barnyard manure. Judgment must
be used in applying commercial fer
tiliZer to avoid burning. Three TO six
pounds scattered under the tree as far
out as the branches extend. and not
closer than two feet from the trunk
of the tree, and Incorporated in the
first two inches of soil will give eX-
cellent results: Barnyard manure
may be applied in the same manner.
one to two bushels per tree, but cam
not be worked into the soil as easily.
Young trees Of nonbearing age must
be carefully watched for the foregoing
reasons and kept in thrifty growing
condition, or weak growth will result
and the orchard will be likely to prove
disappointing.

Diseases of Apples

i"e percentage of diseases, particu.

according TO the United States Depart.
inent OF Agriculture, upon their whole
past history: that is, upon the condi-
tiohs under which they were grown
ana prepared for market, the amount
Vi uisehse they showed when they
were shipped or when they went into
storage, and finally, upon the condi.

OF disease depends to considerable
extent also, upon the length of time
the apples have been kept in storage,
those stored longest being the most
/ seriously affected. Inspection of the
commercial apple crop over four
year period showed that the box crop
suffered from a steady increase in per
centage OF disease from October till
June; the barrel crop only from De-
cember to June

ment Bulletin 1858, Diseases of Ap-
pies on the Market" Considering the
inspections for the four-year period as
whole. blue-mold rot occurred more
commonly than any other disease. In
the box crop, scald was second and
other rots third; in the barrel crop,
other rots exclusive of black rot came
second and black rot came third. Sum-
mer and fall varieties showed less dis
ease, on the average, than winter or
long-storage varieties
In the barrel crop the percentage of
disease was less in cars from New
York, Michigan, Virginia and West

The percentage of disease in the box
crop was slightly heavier in cars from
