ON ORCHARD SPRAYING

A handy chart or calendar for or
chardists, showing when to spray diff
ferent kinds of fruits and the kinds
and amounts of material to use, is
contained in Circular No. 9, entitled
@The Home Orchard Spray Calend-
ar" just revised and reprinted by the
agricultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota. The authors
of this circular are A. G. Ruggles,
state entomologist and professor of
entomology, and R. c. Rose, plant
disease specialist of the extension
service. A free copy may be had
upon request to the Mailing Room,
University Farm, St. Paul. In addi-
tion to the spray calendar. the cir
cular also gives practical suggestions
on preparing spray materials, organ
izing spray rings, establishing the
amount of materials needed, and eau
tions to be observed in applying
sprays.

PLANT SHRUBBERY AT
MILFORD MONUMENT SITE

The Milford Monument commission
composed of Athanas Henle, New
Ulm; w. w. Smith of Sleepy Eye;
and A. C. Ochs of Springfield, has
arranged for the planting of trees
and shrubbery on the monument
ground, which, in time, will make a
beautiful setting for the imposing
memorial to those residents of Mil
ford township, who were massacred
by the Indians in the fall of 1862. The
plating was done on Saturday of last
week.
Except for four black walnut trees
donated and planted by VIM. Hille-
sheim, the monument commission has
paid maintenance and identifying ex-
penses thus far, as the state has
made no provision, financially, to
take care of it's public memorial
grounds. In order to prevent the
Milford monument site from being
neglected Chairman Henle has offer
ed to take care of it without charge,
until funds are available for this pur-
pose.
The trees and shrubs planted on
the monument grounds include two
Bolleana poplars; two American ar
Dor vitae, a to Az feet; two Ameri-
can arbor vitae, 80 to SO inches;
three Black Hills spruce 3 to A feet;
10 barberry Thunbergi; four red
twigged dogwood; two Grootendorst
rose, and two otoneaster.-Brown

INSURE SPUD CROP BY
TREATING SEED TUBERS

Disinfecting seed potatoes with
corrosive sublimate or mercuric BIZ
chloride will do much to insure the
crop against losses from Rhizoctonia,
scab and blackleg, according to DR.. j.
C. Leach, plant disease specialist at
University Farm, st. Paul. The
treatment recommended is to soak
the uncut and unsprouted tubers for
an hour and a half in solution of
four ounces of corrosive sublimate to
80 gallons of water.
Germs or organisms of the three
diseases named may live over on the
tubers or seed pieces. Since some of
these germs may also be present in
the soil, the treating Of the seed will
not absolutely guarantee against in
fections. However, germs present on
the tubers are almost certain to
cause disease, whereas those in the
soil may or may not come in contact
with the seed pieces.
Corrosive sublimate usually dis
solves very slowly in cold water, so
in making the solution it is advisable
to dissolve the chemical first in gal
lon of hot water and then dilute it to
the proper amount. The operator
should keep in mind that corrosive
sublimate is poisonous and also that
it will corrode metal, so that it should
be kept in wood, glass or earthen-
ware containers. Treated tubers
should be planted Immediately or
else spread out to dry before being
stored away, to prevent damage to
the seed. A fourth precaution is to
plant the seed pieces Immediately,
or at least within a half day, after
cutting, since allowing the cut pieces
to remain implanted interferes with
healing over of the wounds and
makes them NOSE susceptible to
blackleg infection from germs that
might be present in the soil.
Instantaneous dipping of seed po-
tatoes in solutions containing COM
mercial organic mercury compounds
is not recommended by DR.. Leach.
Such treatments help some, but are
not so reliable as other methods.
Growers having large quantities of
seed to treat may find it more con-
venient to use the hot formaldehyde
treatment, and may secure details by
writing the Division of Plant Path
ology, University Farm. st. Paul.
DR.. Leach is now working on newer
and quicker method of seed treat
ment, using an calculated corrosive
sublimate solution. He hopes to have
this new method fully developed for
use next year.

PREVENT FOREST FIRES :

Careless and thoughtless citizens
were directly responsible for 2,40O
forest fires in Minnesota in 1929.
Last year was the worst for forest
fires in the history of the state.
More than 100000 acres of land were
burned over, causing nearly 100000
fire damage, and costing one life. In
addition, many valuable camp sites,
were destroyed, much game driven
from its natural habitat, lake levels
were lowered, and fishing streams
harmed.
The commissioner of forestry and
fire prevention, says:
Build your camp fires away from
trees and overhanging branches.
Make small fire. Keep it under
constant supervision.
Do not throw burning cigarettes
or matches from your car.
Never leave camp fire until it
has been put out with water.
Pile up your slash before burning.
See that there is a good firebreak
freshly made around the area.
Always have plenty of help at
hand while burning.
Procure a burning permit from
your township fire warden.
Burn meadows and wild pasture
land early in spring before frost is
entirely gone.
Assist your neighbor in doing his
burning and have him help you with
yours.

miles, and the number of revenue
passengers aggregated 10,018,50S.
The state gasoline tax fund was en-

operating on state routes paying
SOS, 424.79, and the city lines disgorg-
ing $33,028.73. The total taxes paid
by both classes of passenger carriers
during 1929 aggregated $436,304,95.

SHORT CIRCUIT IN BARN
ELECTROCUTED IL COWS

E. J. Diddams, j., of Leroy lost
twelve cows recently when they were
electrocuted by a current that passed
through the mental stanchions to
which they were tied. Four of the
sixteen cows which were in the barn
did not come in contact with the
stanchions and therefore escaped
death. The loss is estimated at
$4,000 as the cattle were purebred. A
short circuit in the wiring of milk
ing machine is thought to have caus-
ed the deaths.

Then came January 5, and we lost all hope
of the future. The concession Of Hankow was
taken over under threat that If the British
resisted the Chinese would massacre their
women and children. What could we hope for
now? This was daring and unprecedented
move on the part of the Nationalist. We had
thought Of Hankow as one of the centers which
were safe. It had been made inviolate by
international treaties. But the Nationalist had
now repudiated those treaties.
