New Idea in Control of
Apple Blotch Developed

A new idea in the control of apple
blotch has been developed at the Pur-
due experiment station.
1t Is well known by all fruit growers
that the blotch disease will produce
cankers very abundantly on the limbs.
Furthermore, these cankers are, Ordi-
narily, perennial in nature, serving
each year as source of infection on
the apple tree The usual recommends
ton for the control of blotch is to
spray, two, four and six weeks after
the petals fall. 1t is very evidently
more difficult to control this disease
satisfactorily when these sources of
infection are scattered throughout the
tree.
How shall we get rid of the cankers?
A fortunate popularity makes it pos
sible to, destroy canker quickly. with
out doing the slightest damage to the
tree. The cankerous tissue is only
skin deep. and with sharp knife one
can readily shave off the brown, dis
eased bark without penetrating into
the cambium. Such wound needs no
subsequent treatment, but the shaw
ings ought not be left in the orchard,
since they contain the fungus and may
start trouble. This process would prob
ably not be, practical for large trees,
but on the younger and smaller trees
1t has proved to be great benefit to
the Indiana fruit growers. 1t is Of
particular value in a young orchard.
Canker-shaving is best done early in
the spring. during the dormant sea-
son, since the cankers are most easily
seen on the leafless limbs. The re-
moval of this diseased tissue removes
the sources of the infection which
would start trouble later on.

Fertilizers Effect
Earliness Of Crops
Better Than Manure Alone
for Garden Truck.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
A combination of manure and COM
mercial fertilizer Is better for pro-
duction of market garden crops than
very heavy applications of stable
manure alone, as conclusively shown
by experiments at the Rhode Island
experiment station. These expert
ments, reported in Bulletin No. 1875,
have been carried on for several years
for the purpose of finding suitable
substitute for the diminishing supply
of stable manure in or near cities and
towns.
AS an average for six years the
Rhode Island tests show that the
manure and commercial fertilizer
combination produced AZ per cent
more cabbage, 60 per cent more beets,
35 per cent more ripe tomatoes (67
per cent more ripe in first six pick
ings), 80 per cent more spinach, 40
per cent more lettuce and Is per cent
more celery.
In the Rhode Island tests. as in
similar tests elsewhere the effect Of
fertilizers on quality and earliness
has been shown to be very appreciable
often as valuable as the increase
in yield itself. This is especially
true. with tomatoes and other market
garden crops which command very
high price in the earlier days of their
market season.
People living in or near cities who
have bemoaned the shortage Of stable
manure can take renewed hope and
interest in their gardens. whether for
home or commercial use, in this knOwl-
edge that at least half of the usual
manure treatment can be profitably
replaced with commercial plant food
with probable increase in yields, i'm
provement in quality and earlier bear
ing.

Hood Should Be Removed
During Warmer Spells

Don't forget to remove the cover
from the front of the radiator when
there is a thaw or the weather gets
mild for few days after being quite
cold. When the temperature is away
down it is of course very wise to
partially-if not fully-cover the front
of the radiator to prevent the bitter
cold from getting the engine too cold
for proper operation.
But having adjusted matters for
such days, remember that when the
warmer spells arrive the shutting out
Of the air may be too complete, and
you will cause the power plant to
overhead, often with serious results.
The point is that the car driver must
use discretion in controlling the radi-
ator's cooling, and on the days when
he feels warm he should not expect
the engine to take different view of
the matter.

Magellan First to
Sail Around World

Ferdinand Magellan. Il Portuguese,
is credited with being the first man
to sail around the world, although he
was killed in the Philippine islands be-
fore the voyage was completed. He
set out August TO. 1919, in the service
of Spain, commanding five ships car
rying 237 men. His purpose was to
reach the Spice islands by sailing to
the westward November %, 1920. he
discovered the strait that now bears
his name and sailed through into the
Pacific ocean, across which he sailed
$4,000 miles without finding inhabited
land After Magellan's death in the
Philippines, April II, 1921, his lieuten-
ant, Sebastian del Cano, took COM
mand and continued the voyage. He
reached San Lucar, near Seville, the
starting point, with only one ship, the
Vittoria, September Z, 1922. The jour
ney had been accomplished in a trifle
more than three years time.-Kansas

Harden Cast Iron Parts

At times it is desirable to harden
medium or small cast iron parts,
Here's how: Take half pint of sui
phuric acid. TWO quarts of common
salt, one-half pound of saltpeter, two
pounds of alum. quarter-pound of
prussiate of potash, Quarter-pound of
cyanide of potash and dissolve in ten
gallons of soft water. Heat the iron
to cherry red and dip in the solu-
ton. If the parts are wanted very
hard repeated heating and dipping
will be necessary.

Ground oats do not make satisfac-

are sifted out. This is usually too
much trouble and lnill feeds in the
shape of bran and middlings can be
purchased cheaper.
In feeding chicks, never overfeed or
feed an amount so that there is feed
left that may spoil or become musty.
Success in chicks is in keeping them

Keep Carburetor Clean

The only attention necessary to the
carburetor is keeping it clean. There
is drain pocket at the bottom of
most of the carburetors which should
be cleaned out once in while by open
ing the little cock or taking the plug
out at the bottom. Shut off the gaso-
line, remove the float and wipe the
deposits out of the float chamber. No
adjusting need be done to the car
buretor after it has once been set.

PAY ATTENTION
TO CAR BRAKES
Failure to Hold Is Due Most
ly to Neglect of Owner,
Says Hayes.

Motorists who do not enjoy the
latest improvements in brakes are
missing good opportunity and over
looking safety by not making great
er effort to get the most from their
present brakes is the opinion of
Charles M. Hayes, president of the
Chicago Motor club.
During this period of transition in
brakes, he says, there is an unneces-
sary tendency toward double stand
ard of stopping, which can be pre-
vented by getting more out of the
brakes on older cars and refraining
from using the newer brakes excess
sively.
"In considering the details Of So
called brake failure" as a cause Of
accidents" Hayes explains. the
American Automobile association
found most brake systems were not
giving more than az per cent of their
full efficiency by reason of owner neg
lect.
Both Kinds Neglected.
This applied to four-wheel brakes
asSwell as the two-wheel variety. One
of the chief reasons for this low eff
cheney of so important unit of the
car is the failure Of the average
driver to take advantage of what is
known as the wrapping action Of the
brake bands.
"When bands are of uniform clear
ance all the way round every square
inch of lining comes into contact with
the brake drum simultaneously This
causes the band to follow the drum.
or to wrap around it. Brake effec-
tiyeness is greatly increased, and the
car stops with far less effort on the
part of the driver
Most car owners consider clearance
uniformity, as simply a detail which
provides for even wear of the Innings.
Rather than take the trouble to adjust
the bands carefully they allow ex-
cessive clearance all around, which
means that in wet weather the brakes
may get water-clogged.
Equality Is Important.
+, Equality of adjustment is an even
more important feature. Two brakes,
evenly adjusted, are, safer in the long
run than just one brake that makes
the car stand on end. Experience
demonstrates brakes are used during
wet weather, and 1t follows if the
brakes are not of equal adjustment
under such conditions there is no adj
vantage in having one good brake.
The 100 per cent brake may reduce
the resultant braking efficiency to nil,
and cause skid.
Comparatively few car owners ap-
preciate the effect of the weather
and the elements on the brakes. In
damp weather Innings will be much
more effective than in dry weather,
vet few owners will remember to wash
the brakes when there is very little
natural dampness.
"If oil tends to work out on the
right brake band of the rear wheel
during hot weather the simplest rem
edy is to drive up on the crown of
the road instead of allowing the axle
to tip to the right so constantly.

have brought about lessening of the
immediate danger of Spain resignins
from the league OF, nations has served
in a measure to dispel the gloom over
such a possibility. 80
Spain refuses classification as a sec

stricting the seats on the league coun-
ell to the great nations, and it is
suggested that a solution may be
found by pledging Spain constant re-

League leaders reiterated tonight
that if Argentina does not become a

the project to allet three council seats
to Latin America may be abandoned,
the number remaining at two. With
respect to disarmament, it is thought
by some that western Europe may be
ready to curtail ornaments, in keep

it is admitted that eastern Europe
will find difficulty in agreeing to re-

CAMERON FAVORS
.M'NARY BILL, He
TELLS SENATOR'S

Thy Dispatch a. I. Wire)
WASHINGTON, June 23.-With
vote expected tomorrow the Nc
Nary farm bill was shunted off the
stage of the senate today after only
one hours consideration.
The fate Of the measure appear
ed to depend on the action of a
handful OF senators on the doubtful
bench and each side spent the day
in an effort to win their support.
The vote is expected to be so close
that Vice President Dawes looms
into commanding possible deciding
6actor in the event of tie, with
both sides claiming him.
Leaders of the opposition passed
the word today that even should
the bill get through the senate and
the house and be sent to the White
House President Coolidge would veto
it. Supporters, however, contend
that if it is passed and laid before
the chief executive he would sign.
During it's brief stay today before
the senate, Senator Reed, democrat,
Missouri offered an amendment
which would substitute the Under
wood tariff law for the entire bill.
The senate accepted the McNary
amendment providing that $75,OOO,-
Oe9 of the $15O,OOO,OOO revolving
fund shall be available for cotton
if necessary. He was forced yes
terday to withdraw the amendment
worded differently, when southern
senators, charging that it destroyed
the cotton provisions, threatened to
withdraw their support. But they
agreed to it as reoffered today.
Senator's Jones, democrat, New
Mexico, and Cameron, republican,
Arizona, endorsed the measure in
speeches today.
After l p. m. tomorrow each SEN
ator will be limited to five minutes
debate on the bill, unless unani-
nous consent sagreemont, reached
yesterday is set aside. Supporters
and opponents have agreed infor-
mally to bring the measure to a vote
before adjournment tomorrow night.
The New Mexico senator declared
that although the bill was nothing
more than a temporary makeshift,
