Half of the failures in getting wind

Application of Orchard
Sprays to Save Fruit

Nearly everyone has read and ap-
preciated the truthfulness of this
terse sentence-"Save the Surface
and Save ALL" This statement may
be applied with equal effect and force
to the application of orchard sprays.
Like the paint on buildings and fences.
sprays, when applied to the surface
of the fruit and foliage at intervals
of from twelve to fourteen days up
until five or six weeks of harvest
time, will save the surface from in
jury by insects and disease and may
prove to be the best insurance against
failure.

Select Turkey Breeders
for Next Seasons CroI

Before picking the Thanksgiving
birds select the breeders for next year.
Choose those birds which show good
growth and development. The shanks
well-set under the birds. A knock
kneed condition reveals lack of vigor.
Crooked keel bones are Objectionable.
They may be caused by poor feeding
or they may be the result of breeding
If possible, do not keep birds with
crooked keel bones for breeding pur-
poses. In the colored varieties. tur-
key growers prefer birds with good
color. but health and vigor are more
important than color.

Leasing Periods

II is believed by most authorities
thar the custom of making ground
leases for ninety-nine years started
after the passage of an old English
law providing that leases for 100 years
or more were TO be regarded by courts
as a sale. The law was evaded by
drawing leases for ninety-nine years.
In Massachusetts a ground lease is
dealt with in the law as a purchase,
but in most states there Is no limit
on the period IF a lease
