REPORT PEACHES
HURT IN STATE
Leroy Lynch of Chandler Or
Chards Near Milford, Puts
Damage at 40 Per Cent.
ADVANCED BUDS KILLED

According to orchardists the
cold weather of the past two
weeks following an unusually mild
winter has damaged the prospec-
tive peach crop. Leroy Lynch, or
chardist at the large Chandler
fruit farms near Milford, said
Thursday after making an exami-
nation Of all varieties of peaches.
He declared that peach buds have
been killed to the extent Of 40 to
so per cent. Mr.. Lynch said that
so far apples have not been dam
aged to a noticeable extent. He
also said that the remaining live
buds on the peach trees may have
been hurt by the freezing weather
to such an extent that they may
not reach maturity. In usual
weather conditions during the
spring, if ten per cent Of peach
buds mature, the crop would be a
good one, but this year that will
not hold true because it is his opin-
ion the unusual warm weather and
the extreme cold of March, has
weakened the vitality of the now
living buds that later, when they
come into blossom, light frost
would kill them. In the large
Pratt orchards, between Milton
and Glendale, the report is the
same as made by Mr.. Lynch. Both
of these orchards contain apple
and peach trees, with apple pre-
dominating. The prospect at this
time is for fair apple crop but
very few, if any, peaches. For the
first time this winter Lake Fan
ganzyki was frozen over Thursday
night, although the thermometer
did not register as low as on other
days for the past two weeks. The
high winds that have prevailed
died down Thursday night leaving
the waters of the lake smooth and
more easily frozen. Broadkiln riv-
er at its headwaters was also froz-
en- over and fishermen were COM
PEELED to wait until the warm sun
and falling tide broke up the ice
before they could get to their nets.
Before the freezing weather Of
March, local fishermen were catch
ing many herring and perch but
there have been very few taken
during this month.
Fear that all fruit trees in low
er Delaware had been injured by
the most severe March cold spell
in many years, was expressed by
a number of orchardists in that
section last week Earlier warm
weather, they pointed out, caused
the sap to rise in the trees prema-
turely. In some instances the
trees had begun to show signs of
budding. With stinging north
west wind blowing, the mercury
there was down to II degrees above
zero one day week before last.
Fruit growers recall five or six
years ago warm weather continued
until late in the winter and there
was then severe freezing weather
which lasted for about week and
badly damaged the fruit, causing
the peach crop to be almost fail
ure. Much depends on the condi-
ton of the trees, how far the sap
has developed as a result Of the
unreasonable weather and other
conditions, it is stated, as to now
much damage has been done.

Dosing Wormy Lambs

One of the lambs worst enemies
Is the common stomach worm. The
animal does not thrive satisfac-
torily when carrying this parasite,
and consequently the farmer loses
money. One way to avoid these
worms is to change pasture so
there will be little danger of the
lambs picking up worm eggs depos-
tied on the grass last year by other
sheep.
Sheep can be treated for worms
with vermifuge. Some farmers
dose each animal with one to four
ounces of a 1 per cent copper sui
phate solution. This solution is
made by dissolving one-fourth pound
of copper sulphate in three gallons
Of water. Ewes receive from two
to four ounces, depending on their
size, while lambs get one to two
ounces. Dose with an ordinary
syringe or with the aid of funnel
or small rubber tube. Care should
be taken not to lift the sleeps head
up, since this may cause strangula-
tion.-Wallace's Farmer.

Fighting Hog Influenza

The basic treatment of influenza
In hogs is Withholding the feed and
protecting the herd against expos
ure. If the onset Of the disease Is
sudden and large percentage of
the hogs stricken within a few days,
all of the feed should be withheld.
If the outbreak is less virulent, the
sick hogs should be separated from
the apparently well ones. and the
latter animals fed only what they
are able to eat in about 80 minutes
twice daily.
1t is not possible to find suitable
quarters on all farms for a herd
of sick hogs. During the cool or
cold weather, when outbreaks of the
disease commonly occur, deep bed
of straw and clean, well-ventilated
quarters free from drafts should be
provided for the entire herd. A
deep shed open on one side only Is
more satisfactory than the farrow-
ing or hog house. They should be
confined to these quarters until they
are back on feed. 1t is usually ad-
visible to sort out the animals that
show symptoms of pneumonia be-
fore increasing the feed and turn
ing out the well MISUNDERSTANDING
Farmers Guide.

Work Horse Needs and
Deserves Proper Care

Correct fitting and proper adjust
ment OF harness is big step in the
elimination Of sore shoulders on
horses, says the Nebraska College
of Agriculture. Cleaning the horses
shoulders following the days work
and again before harnessing in the
morning will help prevent sore
shoulders.
A properly fitted collar barely al
lows the fiat hand to pass be-
tween the collar and the windpipe
and permits the finger tips to pass
at the side Of the neck just above
the shoulder points. The names
should fit snugly and be drawn
tightly around the collar so that
the point of draft will be about one
third of the distance above the
shoulder points.
The average farm work horse con-
sumes about 5000 pounds of grain
and 5000 pounds of roughage year.
ly. When the horse is doing hard
work, the average animal will need
approximately % bushels of corn
or 40 bushels of oats and about a
ton Of roughage. Hard grains such
as wheat, barley, rye, kair and
other small grains may be improved
by grinding or rolling.-Nebraska
Farmer.

False Economy in
Use Of Cheap Seeds
Advice Given New York
ers Applies to All.

(By PROF. E. l. wORTHEN, New
York State College Of Agricul-
ture.)-WNU Service.
Avoid false economy's lure of low
prices on alfalfa and clover seed. If
necessary, reduce the rate of seed
ing or the acreage, or both.
By little better seed bed prepa-
ration, the standard rate of seeding
for both alfalfa and clover may be
reduced as much as 10, Is, or even
20 per cent. Where clover is seeded
on winter wheat, less seed and a
light narrowing Immediately after
seeding may bring as thick a stand
as a normal amount of seed. If a
mixed seeding is to be made, get the
different seeds and mix them at
home.
Make certain that seed is adapt
ed to local conditions for the hardi-
est is none too good for New York's S
climate. All red clover seed should
be northern grown and either certi-
fed or of guaranteed origin. Buy
either Grimm, Ontario variegated,
or other variegated types of alfalfa
and demand either certified seed or
a satisfactory guarantee of the
source of the seed.

New Hive Queens

New queens will be accepted more
readily by old colonies if introduced
during the honey flow. The old
queen, however, should not be re-
moved until about three weeks prior
to the end of the flow, or until her
bees are no longer of use in the
honey flow. The new queen should
be introduced and laying about
eight weeks before frost. This al
lows the rearing of young bees for
the winter season. Failing queens
should be replaced at any time by
young, vigorous queens, but care
should be exercised to get those of
good strains.

And, in the two weeks elapsing I'M
til Nov. 8, the size of the majority
may increase because of tactics
pursued by the Republican organ
ization in this district toward the
Democratic county clerks and cleo
ton commissioners and results from
a curious slip.
Apparently uniformed regarding
the statutes covering filing of coun-
ty tickets in st. Joseph and Elk
hart the secretary of the party in
the counties forgot to have the
petitions indorsing the list of local
candidates notarized and so stood in
danger of having them ruled off the
ballots.
This did not affect the state and
national Socialist tickets, but would
have prohibited listing of the local
candidates. Frank Nevins, county
clerk, however, declared that in his
opinion, the names could go on the
ballot. because the error was a mere
technicality. The other Democratic
election official voted with him.
In another county in the district.
the local ticket was filed before the
stipulated time. But the clerk re-
corded it on the specified day, and
the commissioners ruled that the
action of the clerk prevailed.
Because of these acts, the Social
lists have combined with the Demo-
Gratis in providing watchers at the
polls on election day and an entente
cordiele prevails.

GRAND JURORS
PROBE AFFAIRS
OF CEMETERY
Await Receipt of Records
From Receiver of De-
funct Firm.

spotlight several years ago when
selection of the site on the boule-
vard was announced and securi-
ties commission PROBE OF the STOCK
issues was instituted.
According to Hagemeier, the sit
uation was laid before the grand
Jury by lot purchasers and receipt

in summoning of additional wit
nesses.
Paul wetter, former municipal
Judge and holder of three lots, at
the Wednesday night meeting, de-
manded to know why planned i'm
provements had not been made"
Lot holders told stories of the al
