The superiority Of oil sprays over
lime-sulphur. as treatment for San
Jose scale, together with the relative
effectiveness of various oil emulsiOns,
has been demonstrated in orchard ex-
periments during the last four years
By the Illinois State Natural History
Survey. ~
These. experiments were begun near
Olney in 1922 after some of the best
and most careful orchardists in south-
ern Illinois had lost many trees from
scale although these trees had been
thoroughly sprayed with lime-sulphur,
both dry and liquid, and of commercial
miscible oils and lubricating-oil emul-
sions. In general, trees sprayed with
lime-sulphur showed IL per cent of
the scale still alive, but those sprayed
with oil emulsions showed less than
2 per cent. Similar results were OBJ
tanned on apple trees at Anna, Illinois.
Results Given in Bulletin.
These results, together with data
from other experiments near Carbon
dale, with oil sprays on apple, cherry,
grape, lilac, mulberry, maple, peony.
peach. pear, potato, rose, tomato. and
walnut, are given in a bulletin en-
titled. "Recent Insecticide Expert
ments in Illinois With Lubricating Oil
Emulsions," by S. G. Chandler, W. r.
Flint, and L. L. Huber. which has Just
been published by the State Natural
History Survey under the direction OF
DR.. Stephen A. Forbes.
This bulletin also gives comparisons
of cold.mixed emulsions and Dolied
emulsions made with iish-oil soaps ana
vegetable-oll soaps and with heavy
and light lubricating oils The follow
ing conclusions are based on the re-
suits of this work:
Boiled emulsions are as effective as
the various miscible oils used.

FesO Approach London
With Smiles on Face

Some come to London with Il smile.
more with a frown, more still with q
cape. Some faces look like shops with
shutters, others like shop windows as
the shutters are being taken away.
Some, bowed to the incline of bowed
shoulders on which tool bags are rest
ing, look like entrances to tunnels
There are no bright morning faces
on London bridge before six o'clock,
and l fear it would be little use ask
ing God to stab the spirit of the
workers broad awake. Each brings
something into London to conquer 1t;
but London conquers most who en-
ter It,
They come with their tools, their
skill. their savings; every one is car
fying something into London. Dick
Wilmington has his cat. 1t Is a
wonderful cat or a merry heart that
you need as you cross the bridge and
start out to find life and happiness

Perhaps no soy bean has been found
which has the all-around value of the

Fertilizer tests show that the use
of acid phosphate nearly doubled the
yield of alfalfa.
The best of corn and hay crops will
count for little when fed to animals
that make returns below the market
prices for these crops.
The silo is pasture in miniature.
Those who can't have green pastures
the year round-and most people can't
should think of the silo as being a
substitute.

Grading Of Potatoes
Meets With Approval
Satisfies Demands Of House
wife and Market Man.

The stamp of approvalsApiaced on
Wisconsin graded potatoes satisnes
the demands of the housewife and
market man. This satisfaction with
quality potatoes has been reported
by J. G. Milward, potato specialist at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
who states that careful grading is
growing in Importance in this state
and is putting a premium on Badger
potatoes.
The grading of potatoes as practiced
by many Wisconsin growers and ware
house men enables the stOrekeeper to
supply his trade with high-quality tu-
bers. This has appealed to many out
of-state buyers who will pay more for
potatoes of uniformly high quality.
The Wisconsin crop this year is
about 27,0O0,0OO bushels, which is
about one-fifth larger than that of 81
year ago but lower than the average
of a five-year period. Under the trade
name of Badger State Brand" part
of this seasons crop will be. sold for
seed purposes.
About $50 carloads of this type OF
seed have already been certified by
representatives of the state depart
ment of markets and are available
for growers. The available certified
seed includes the Triumph, Rural New
Yorker, Green Mountain, Irish Cob
bier and EARLY Ohio varieties. Mil
ward states that there is keen de-
mand for quality seed and buyers are
now in the state contracting for next
springs seed supply.

Farm Machine Shed Will
Save Various Implements

When work has been finished with a
cultiyator, reaper or mower, the
weather is fine and it's temptation
to leave 1t in the field. Then the first
rain provides coating of rust which
soon eats into the metal. Machinery
Is more often rusted out than worn
out. A machinery shed or an imple-
ment house will prolong the life of
the machinery considerable number
of years, and saves it's cost because
replacement of machines is not neces-
sary for number of years more
when they are given the proper care.

a London musical c5nrocfi0u. Char. lot. Revue" which brought to Ameri- ca three uuforgettabie comedians of new order of talent and charm. They were Beatrice Lille in private life Lady Robert Peal Miss Gertrude Law renee. and Jack Buchanan. IL would be unfair not e saY that Miss Liilie was the hit of the piece. Here was lady who was a lady and a very, very funny lady. too. a true genius Of the comic But next to Miss Lillie came Miss Lawrence. a golden haired ereat- ure who could dance and sing and he utterly and completely charming. Blu ehanan was the kind of comedian who could be very funny who could dance well. and who wore his Saville Row clothes as though be wore them out side the theatre as well as within The Revue packed one of the big Forty Second Street theatres for season and then was a riot oB the road.
 And Now Another Star
 Naturally Mir Chariot produced another revue. This time he brought back his trio of stars aud many soavs from the clever ahilitIes of Noel Cow ard and others The result strange as ft may seem. Wa in the parlance 6f Broadway, a complete flop. Mis- LilIie had little to b. funny with Mis- Lawrence used her good looks her agile dances and her intelligent charm fa m avail r. would have required more than good clothes and good hg- nor to have made it possible for Mir Buchanan t9 have entertained an au- dience with the material that Mr Chariot provided for his use. Grad ually the items of the old revue crept back. and before the show finally left Broadway there was much more of the first Chariot Revue on view than there was of the second.
 With the failure of the Revue American manager began to look 10 their laarels They sought out Miss Lille. Miss Lawrence. and MT. Blu chanan The bidding was high, but it was the carly manager who plucked the star. and to the surprise of Broad way last week brought forth the an nouncement that the Chariot trio had broken is rank. and Miss Lawrence had signed mp with Aarons < Freed ley. and there was much guashing of teeth in the offices af the older and more widely known managers
