ACRES OF DIAMONDS

1t seems a far cry from acres OF
diamonds to the "overalls job, but
is It?
Some years ago resourceful writer
and speaker wrote Acres of Dia-
monds", story built around facts
connected with the discovery of the
South African diamond fields.
The story tells how a farmer in
South Africa, wearying of his daily
work on the farm, thought that sue
cess (measured in dollars as typified
by diamonds) could only be found at
distance from his home farm He
sold his farm for a sonA and set
forth in search of riches. After a
far search in distant places, he
found no riches, and returned to
his old home town to die. And there
he found his old home farm a
veritable Acres of Diamonds"
In similar way, the young man on
the farm or in his home town looks
longingly to distant fields where he
dreams there lies Acres of Dia-
monds". He often little realizes that
the possibilities of his own job in
overalls may be made to uncover
acres of diamonds at his very thresh-
hold.
The acres of diamonds in his reach
may consist of happy job; success
full not only when measured with the
foot rule of dollars, but when meas
ured with the better foot rule of his
ability each day to do better job
efficiently.
Such a young man dons his over
alls and gets busy in line he likes
He prepares himself so that ''prepar-
edness meets opportunity, the key
to success. On the farm he becomes
better farmer; in the garage he be-
comes better mechanic; in the
printing establishment he becomes a
better printer; on building construc-
tion he becomes a better carpenter;
in the electrical field he becomes a
better electrician.
Training promotes efficiency; in
creased efficiency promotes happiness;
and what is happiness but Acres of
DiamOnds?"
Farm schools, business colleges and
trade schools are founded to help peo-
pie help themselves.
When Mr.. Dunwoody left his mil
lions to found the Dunwoody Institute,
for training boys and men In trades
and industries, he set up a monument
not only to himself, but to the resi-
dents of the state, to be used by boys
and men who desire industrial and
mechanical training.
This institution Is a gift to the res
idents of the state Located in Min
neapolis, it furnishes an opportunity
to those boys and men who wish to
train themselves for greater efficiency.

HOW TO MAKE BORDEAUX
MIXTURE AT HOME
By L. A. Hawkins,
Agricultural Extension Department
international Harvester Company.

Bordeaux mixture is the most CON-
mon fungicide used on potatoes, gar
den crops, small fruits and to large
extent on tree fruits. Dry bordeaux
can be purchased but is more expen-
sive than the homemade product and
the work of making it is neither hard
nor troublesome.
Bordeaux, with arsenate Of lead ad-
ded as stomach poison when needed.
is the main spray material used on
potatoes as protection against blight
and flea-beetles. Practically all of
the fungous diseases of garden crops
can be controlled or prevented by APP
plications of bordeaux mixture. AS
a summer fruit spray on apple and
pear it is very important. It is also
used for fungous diseases of small
fruits and is the chief material re-
commended for grape spraying. Bor-
deaux is an effective dormant spray
for peach leaf curl.
1t can easily be made at home ac-
cording to the following formula and
instructions. The 1850 formula Civ
en- below is usually about the right
strength but sometimes stronger or
weaker materials are desired. when
the formula should be changed to
$3.50 or $3.50 respectively.
The formula is:
4 lbs. copper sulphate (blue vitrioD.
S pounds stone lime (unslaked).
SO gallons of water.
Dissolve the copper sulphate in rs
gallons of water by suspending it near
the top of the water in gunny sack.
The solution of bluestone is heavier
than water and if the crystals are
put in the bottom of the container, a
saturated solution will be attained be-
fore it Is all dissolved but by suspend
ing near the top the heavier solution
settles and it will all dissolve. The
copper solution will eat through iron
or tin so it must be kept in earthen
or wooden containers.
Stake the lime in another tub and
make it up to Is gallons with water.
These two lots are "stock solutions
and should be used in equal parts
when spraying~ Do not mix the two
until ready to apply, as bordeaux mix
ture does not retain it's fungicidal
value long after 1t is mixed.
If evaporation is guarded against
the two stock solutions" can be kept
indefinitely. When preparing to use
bordeaux, take equal parts of the
stocks" and strain them into the
sprayer at the same time to insure
thorough mixing together.
Where large quantities are wanted.
concentrated "stock solutions" OF
known strength can, be made in ad-
vance and proportionate parts of each
one taken for making up the diluted
spray solution. The copper sulphate
solution should be kept away from
children and domestic animals.
Everyone who has a garden or pota-
to patch should be prepared with bor-
deaux mixture and have the "stock
solutions" on hand ready to use when
the demand arises.

PEA INDUSTRY LAST
YEAR HAD IMPORTANT
PLACE AMONG CROPS

Total value to Montana of the pea
growing industry for 1926 was 81 1862
goo, according to Jay G. Diamond, fed
eral crop statistician, who has just
completed a survey of the industry
for the Forthcoming issue of the Mon
tana Farm Review.
In the nearly two million dollars to-
tai value is included the production OF
$4,000 bushels of seed peas, which
will bring the state $1,040,0O0 and
$4,000 cases of green peas, canned at
$4,000.
The pea growing industry has had a
marked development in Montana dur
ing the past five years, according to
the records Of the crop statisticlan's
office. In 1922 value of the seed pea
crop was placed at about 100000 and
the total value of the industry IN
Montana at less than a million dol
lars.
The rapid strides made in 1923 and
1924 brought the crop to point where
with a total value of $2,159,000 in
1925, it outranked such crops as rye
beans and apples, taking tenth place
among all Montana crops In 1926 it
exceeded in value the flax crop and
advanced to ninth place.
pack of 22,502 eases, wirth about $685.
seed and canning peas in 1926 was
equal to that of 1925, the latter con-
dition being due to a larger national
supply. Pea growers look for some
further contraction of the industry in
Montana again next year as step in
the adjustment to the supply situa-
ton. However, the pea industry IS
generally conceded to occupy, and ex-
pected to maintain an important place
among Montana crops.
Edible beans also are now being
canned in the state, according to the
Farm Review data, which will show a
pack of 22,502 cases, worth about $780,
800 for 1926. The 1925 pack was
20,095 cases, worth about $50,23S.
