1! Orcharding-By Beach
One Of the cash enterprises or
the farm is orcharding. If orchard
| ing Is going to be used as a cash
enterprise, it, should be taken care
of in such manner that it will
serve its purpose. In order to get 9
successful spraying or busting, you
have to know the proper time to
spray or dust, and do 1t thoroughly.
Use the correct materials and for
mula and use the spray program ac-
cording to the variety and Its sur
roundings. Radio stations give
timely spray talks in spring which
you can apply to your own locality.
Spraying is your insurance on
your orchard. Keep new growth
during periods of attack by insects
and diseases, important around you,
under spray control.
Start the applications promptly.
Finish on time. Have the proper
equipment to cover the orchard in
three days or less. Do not waste
time in going after water to mix
material. Cooperate with the wealth
er bureau to find out the weather
conditions for three days ahead,
and spray while weather is suited
for it. Many growers spray at night
to speed up the coverage of the orr
chard. Spray thoroughly the upper
two-thirds Of mature trees. Apply
the spray In penetrating rolling
mist. Spray so as to cover the un-
der sides OF leaves, apples, and
limbs, as well as outside or top
side. Some people may try to econ
omize on spray material, and will
only get about half enough on the
tree, or they don't spray at the diff
ferent times needed, and the result
is loss, losing spray material.
time, and money. not helping the
tree bit.
Dusts are not as good as sprays,
for it takes about twice as many
dusts as sprays, and damp weather
is needed. for busting. More care is
needed in busting than in spraying.
Many growers dust at night when
the tree is damper and dust will
take effect better. Brookspot must
be controlled by copper solution
with copper dust or copper spray.
Change to weak bordeaux or copper
dust in last two sprays after petals
fall. The amount of spray material
required depends upon the age and
size of the tree to be sprayed.
The Stayman is very good va
riety to grow in this section. De-
licious, Grimes, Rome Beauty and
Jonathan are also good. Trees like
Ben Davis and other less paying va
rieties should be culled out of the
orchard.
Landscaping-By Riece
In order to have a good lawn,
have in mind what you are going to
do to improve it. Plan anead. First
have level lawn. This can be done
by using cement roller weighing
from oUU lO 4UU pouuUS OH the
lawn in the spring. Fertilizing
helps the lawn, using complete
fertilizer A 4-12-4 is good at the
rate of two to three pounds to 100
square feet. Now is about the best
time to apply the fertilizer.
If the weeds are choking out the
grass they can be killed by digging
them out. A sure way to kill
weeds is to use sulphuric acid Dip
an ice pick in wide mouth bottle

| (put acid In wide mouth bOttle), OF
acid and then put the ice pick in the
center of the weed, and in about
one hour the plant will start to
wilt
August is good month for seed
ing the lawn IL there is enough
moisture in the ground. During the
/, fall months is the best time to seed
lawn II the soil is wet enough to
start the seed. Kentucky bluegrass
is about the best for a lawn.
Notice the location of the shade
trees. Have the right number Of
shade trees and in the proper place.
The elm is the best tree for shade.
TSelect q tree that is three or four
inches in diameter and take three
or four feet of root with the tree.
A tree from an open field is a better
developed tree and has the root re-
quired. Put the best topsoil in the
hole to cover the roots After set
ting out the tree remove one-third
of the end of the branches. A sin
gle layer Of burlap wrapped around
the tree will keep out borers and
prevent sunburns. Have shrubbery
well placed. Mockorange is very
good for hiding high Objectionable
views. Hedges of Japanese bar
berry are good to have in front of
the house, around the yard. Low
bushy shrubs are excellent for hid
ing low Objectionable views. Plants
or roses, according to the height of
the porch and windows, should be
well placed around the porch and
under the windows, SO as not to shut
off too much of the light.
Crops-By Stringfeld
The average yield for our own
farm runs about the = same as does
that of the Washington county ex-
pertinent farm; although the av-
erage for the county is somewhat
lower than is that of the experiment
farm. Washington county Reid's
Yellow Dent is the leading variety
of corn in Washington experiment
and southeastern experiment farms
for highest yields per acre. AS 1
have a project OF this kind of corn
on our farm, II find it will yield
about the same as it has at the two
experiment farms. Care should be
taken in field selection of corn. Do
not select ears with long shanks,
the weight of the ear might break
the shank, and poor husk covering
results when the shanks are long.
Select corn that is free from smut
Selecting smutty ears for seed
makes the corn more susceptible to
smut the next year. Select ears
that are well covered with corn on
the tips and butts of the ear;
straight rows of kernels. small cob
and large grains. Early maturing
ears; sound, tight grained ears;
ears off healthy looking stock.
Poultry-By Ferguson
The following factors are in
herited from the rooster or hen or
both: Early maturity. The leghorn
hen should mature and start laying
eggs at five to five and one-half
months of age. The heavy breed Of
hen should reach maturity at the
age of six to six and One-half
months. Bare backs. Chicks should
be selected from hens that do not
molt until September or October,
rather than from those that molt in
June or July. Egg size.. Select

Weods-By, Willard
Among the common weeds in this
:section Of Ohio are the Canada
thistle. perennial: ironweed. an
nual: ragweed, annual. There is no
easy and cheap way Of killing
weeds. The ANIMALS are about the
easiest killed and that is by culti-
walton or by moving before seeding.
A continual moving of the ironweed
will finally starve out the roots and
kill the weeds.
The roots or underground growth
Of perennials have to be starved
cut SO no new shoots or top growth
will start or kill the plant by means
Of chemicals. Keep the tops of the
perennial plant cut down to the
ground at all times, and by the end
Of two years the plant will be prac-
tically eliminated.
The best way to kill thick patch
Of Canada thistles is to use sodium
chIorate-one pound of dry chlorate
in one gallon of water. The sodium
chlorate costs between 25 and soc
q square rod. CELEBRATES are slightly
more effective in wet weather; al
though a hard rain right after ap-
plying the chlorate may be less
beneficial. Sodium chlorate is not
poisonous to stock in the amount
they get from eating sprayed weeds
and grass. Give the stock plenty OF
salt before and they will not bother
this spray SO much. Be very care
full when applying this chemical, for
it is very infammable when it
