Royal Couple Returning to
N.Y.; Will Remain 3 Months;
Pleased With Visit Here

King Prajadhipok of Siam took
his final glimpse of Washington
from the observation platform Of
his special train this morning.
He was bound back to Ophir
Hall, near Scarborough, N. Y,
after his two days of official fes-
tivitieS in the Capital.
A broad farewell smile was
given by Queen Rambai Barni to
the group of tourists who clus-
tered about the Presidential room
at Union Station as the royal
couple prepared to entrain shortly
after 9 o'clock. The charming
little Siamese consort to His Maj

King Has Malaria
The King is suffering from
malaria and a cold, but neverthe-
less was in good spirits this morn
ing, although he faces an ordeal
which is causing all of his irnme-
diate party much worry and con.
cern-an operation for the re-
moval of cataract in the left eye.
This operation probably will be
performed by DR.. John Wheeler,
of New York, on May 10.
The King made trip TO Bal.
timOre yesterday to obtain DR..
william Holland Winners ap-
prOval Of the proposed operation.
DR.. Wilmer said the operation
for removal of the cataract should
not be a difficult one and would
not put his sight in jeopardy He
also announced that a small cat
aract was forming in the right
eye, but that it's growth did not
present any conditions to make
an operation imperative at the
present time.
Will Stay 8 Months
King Prajadhipok and his en-
tourage will remain in the United
States for three months. It is not

Before leaving, the King issued
this statement to the press:
During our short stay in this
beautiful Capital-indeed, since
we crossed the border of the
United States last week the
people we have met, both Off
cialS and others, have done
much to make us forget the dis
tance and differences that sep
arate our nations and have per-
mitted us to remember only
that we are guests come among
friends.

made our visit in Washington

convey also an expression Of ap-
probation to every locality we
have reached, whose greeting
has deeply touched us. 1t has
been emphasized repeatedly,
that we hold an ancient tradi-
ton in cOmmOn-the tradition
of a long unbrOken friendship.
For that fact and for the

Prune Young Trees for
More Profitable Yields

Although butchering young apple
trees with the pruning shears is
poor practice, the training. of perma-
nent trees so that they will develop
into vigorous, strong trees capable of
carrying their crops is an essential
part of profitable orchard manage
ment, declares F. 81. Beach. extension
specialist in horticulture at Ohio State
university.

grow more rapidly, have the greatest
size for its age. and come into hear
ing earlier than heavily pruned trees.
he says. it does not follow that train
ing the trees with the help of the
pruning shears should be overlooked.
Light pruning that aids in developing
the modified leader type of tree and
that prevents splitting from weak
crotches is highly desirable.
The modified leader type of tree
Beach points out. is secured by allow
ing one central branch to continue
through the lower part of the tree.
Other branches from which the scat
fold branches may be developed will
grow from the central branches at
different heights and positions In
this way ii is fairly easy to prevent
crowded heads and weak crotches.
1t is best, he states, to allow the
lcr est limb to grow on the southwest
side Of the tree so as to prevent sun
scald injury. Relatively light prun-
ing may also be given this side of the
tree.

Destroy Scale Insects
Very Early in Spring

There are probably to exceed FIVE
broods of the San Jose scale per year.
1t has been estimated that even with
four broods, single females prog
eny would number 3,216.0S0. 400 in a
season. To figure the progeny in view
of a fifth brood would make the fig
ures incomprehensible. Thus it is
seen that ii is very important to de-
stroy the insects before the breeding
season as a plant only slightly at
tackled in the spring may be covered.

millions of scales with their beaks
thrust into the plant, pumping out

tree will succumb in from one to
three years if the scales are not
checked by spraying, natural condi-
tons or parasites.

Old Age Fast Removing
Many Soils From Service

Old age is fast removing many soils
from use in Illinois as nature removes
humans, according to E. A. Norton,
University of Illinois. Nature and
man are both contributors to the
aging of soils. says Norton, and man
is the greater offender as he has re-
moved the protective covering of sod
and allowed the rains to gully the
land. Removing crops continually
from the land has depleted the fer
tility and moisture holding capacity.
Good management of soils prevents
their aging and as in man ii preserves
youth. Old age in soils is shown bv

Gold Mining Camps" on
Banks of Blue Danube

There's a gold rush going on today
near the town of Gyor in Hungary.
Some one noticed that the Danube
near Gyor wasn't blue and beautiful
at all. but yellow and muddy. Some
traces of gold, meantime, had been
found at nearby town called Turoz,
when engineers digging an artesian
well came across ore which con-
tanned nickel and chromium and some
slight hint of gold. So peasants from
the vicinity proceeded TO the Danube,
set up camps there, and are wash
ing the water vigorously. Strange to
say, some gold has actually been
found-three grains TO one cubic
meter of Danube mud. The peasant
camps are busy and engineers are
investigating.

M ushroom Diseases

after which the mushrooms soften and
rot. The fungus works its way into
the wood of the mushroom bed and
lives there from year to year unless
killed by fumigatiOn. For control.
the infected manure must be removed.
the beds and house must be fumigated
with sulphur or fOrmaldehyde, and
care and sanitary measures must be
exercised TO prevent workmen or in
sectS from carrying the fungous spores
to an unaffected bed or house.
Plaster mold does not attack the
mushroom directly, but the disease is
caused by fungus that runs through
the manure and prevents or delays de-
velOpment of the spawn. The plaster
mold appears on the surface and sides
of the bed as white patches which may
be seen when the boards are raised.
When mature the fungus is
coated with powdery spores that sep
arate and are carried readily to
wind or insects. These are likely TO
spread the disease. Plaster mold has
been serious in recent years. II re-
duces mushroom yields and frequently
causes complete failure of the crop.
Mushroom flies and other insects
common in mushroom houses distribute
the disease spores. They can be con-
trOlled with pyrethrum nicotine. or
hydrocyanic acid gas.
AS sanitation measures, infected
manure should be moved to safe dis
lance from the mushroom house and
manure used for replacement should
come from a place free from contain
nation. Manure never should be piled
close TO the mushroom house.
