canes should be removed and young
plants not having the disease should
be planted some distance from the
old plants. Keep the rows free from
weeds and allow the maximum air
drainage for plants. Spray twice
each spring. After two or three
leaves have unfolded on old canes
in spring. Use liquid lime sulphur,
one gallon to nine gallons of water
The second spray about one week be-
fore the blossom buds open, using
liquid lime sulphur, one gallon to 80
of water All new and old growth
should be covered with this spray.
The time is drawing near for
the spraying of fruit trees. The old
spray pump should be tried out so as
to be in readiness when the right
time for spraying the fruit trees ar
rives. Get your spray material early.
The sprays which are always needed
are as follows: The calyx spray
which is applied as soon as most of
the petals have fallen and before the
calyX cup closes. The second spray
to be applied two or three weeks
after the first and the third spray to
be applied only on winter varieties
the last part of July. Some prefer
ITO put on the pink spray just before
the blossom buds open, but in most
orchards there are many varieties Of
apples and it is hard to spray al of
these different varieties at the same
time, as some of the blossoms will
be ready and others will be either
open or not ready. The material to
use for spraying is lime sulphur and
arsenate of lead. If using the liquid
lime use quarts and IL pounds of
powdered arsenate of lead in so gall
Ions of water. If the powdered lime
sulphur is used, 11a to pounds of
that and 11a pounds of arsenate of
lead to so gallons of water. Salts
factory results will be usually OBJ
tanned in the home orchards by
spraying the cherry and plums at the
same time when spraying the apples,
that is when the petals have fallen
off. The same solutions can be used.
A very good article recently appear
ed in the Wisconsin Farmer on how
Pierce County sprays the apple
trees. Everybody receiving that
paper should read the same. Folks
who have sprayed their apple trees
at the right time have reported very
good results. Bulletins giving more

God Made The Outdoors. Don't
Make A He'll Of It," This warning
in the form of a placard caught my
eye at tie recent National Conven-
ton of The Izaak Walton League of
America at Chicago. What a train
of thought it starts into motion.
God Made The Outdoors" Did
you ever know an incongruity in Ma
ture? Did you ever see a clash of
colors in Natures paintings? Did
you ever hear a discordant note in
the morning symphony of birds If
you have ever set within the shelter
of your tent in the wilds and witness
sed and hearkened to the violent out
bursts Of the elements, were you not
awod by the solemnity and the
grandeur of the display?
Coed Made The Outdoors" He
made each item harmonic with The
whole. The shapes, the colors, the
sounds, I'll unite to make the one
harmonious ensemble. Did you ever
stop to think how many years it has
taken God to make giant tree?
ID you ever wonder how he has
painted the anemone, the tiger lily,
the violet, with the same brush and
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1925-04-23

with the same material? Did you
ever marvel that the same grasses,
herbs, and nuts, when converted into
flesh, would produce now a rabbit.
now squirrel, now a chipmunk ?
Did you ever let your thoughts dwell
upon the fact that pine and henlock,
oak and birch, grow side by side, the
same material entering into their
several fibers
"God Made The Outdoors Man
could never do it. Yet man can
"Nake A Hell Of It," And you, my
friend, assist in the making when
you thoughtlessly destroy growing
tree; when you strip the bark from
living birch or cut a pine tree for the
boughs with which to make your bed;
when you strew your camp site with
unsightly bottles, cans and refuse.
Don't Make A He'll Of It." Let
that sink into your very soul. You
have no right to rob the coming gen
erations of their pleasures. You
have no right to destroy the picture
for your brother and leave discord
and harshness in it's place. God
Made The Outdoors. Don't Make A

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY H. G. Seyforth.

A number of folks have reported
trouble with their black raspberry
plants dying. On examination of
these plants We find that anthracnose
fungus disease is the cause of the
trouble. This disease is prevalent
over the state. How to recognize
this disease: Little reddish spots APP
pear on young growing canes and
leaves about the middle of May.
These spots, especially on the canes,
enlarge and become gray to whitish
in color. Often these spots cover most
of the cane. This weakens the cane
and shortens the life of the plant.
The disease lives over winter in the
spots on the canes and spreads in the
form of spores in the spring. These
spores are carried by the wind and
dropped on new plant growth, How
to prevent this disease: All old

Another entry has been made in
the Ton Litter Contest. This entry
is made by S. B. Creswell, Town of

Let's have some more entries.
A Boys and Girls Club was or
ganized at the Clifton Hollow, School
the past week. Officers were elected
and Miss Bessie Hawkinson is acting
as leader Plans are to organize
several more clubs like that in the
county, with someone acting as
leader. If there is anyone in a COM
munity who could give some of their
time as leader in this work l would
appreciate it if they would let me
know. Next week the schedule for
sectional meetings will be published
Enrollments will be made for Club
Work at these meetings. Anyone
interested should write me at once.
If you are going to be short on
hay the coming season it is we'll to
plan now for an emergency hay crop.
The best ones for Wisconsin are soy
beans, oats and field peas. Sudan
grass and soybeans, Sudan grass,
millet and oats. This is large
enough variety so that any farmer
can choose the kinds best suited to
his needs. All of these crops are
ANNALS. The ones best suited for
early seeding are oats, alone, or oats
and field peas. The rate of seeding
per acre is 80 lbs. of peas and As lbs.
of oats. The ones adapted to later
seeding, any time in May or first
part of June, are soybeans, millet
and Sudan grass. If you plan to use
any soybeans with corn for silage q
emergency hay crop notify the fol-
lowing at once so soybeans can be
ordered for you in plenty of time.

LAUNCHES
OUT IN GOAT GAME
AT LAKE

Denton-oseph Asbridge, former
U. S. marshal, and a pioneer rancher
and sheepman in Fergus county, has
launched a new enterprise at an ideal
location for it, II miles from Kali
ispeIl, below Somers. His long famil-
iarity with sheep is proving valuable
in this venture, different as the two
lines are in many respects. Mr.. AS
bridges goats are handled for the
production Of mohair.
The color of the fleece is pure
white and in order to get the long
staple the goats will be clipped but
once in two years, the hair growing
until it touches the ground. He will
clip his first crop in June next. The
value of the hair varies with its
length and quality, running from 81
to 500 a pound.
