Spray While You Prune

The home fruit grower can do
much while he is pruning his trees
toward lessening the number of in
furious insects he will have to COM
bat during the succeeding growing
season, says a writer in the Rural
New Yorker. The close inspection
of individual trees necessary for this
work makes it impractical for the
commercial orchardist, but it is a
time and labor saver for the home
grower with a few trees and little
spraying equipment. While prun-
ing keep a sharp lookout for egg
masses, larvae and cocoons. Among
the many things to look for, the
following may be mentioned: The
gelatin-like masses of eggs of the
tent-caterpillar, which are usually
placed on small twigs; frothy egg
masses of the tusSock-moth; the
coccoons of the codling moth which
will be found under the loose bark
Of the tree trunk; pear psylla, mi
mute insects which often hibernate
under the rough bark on the trunks;
twig-girdlers may be controlled by
burning all twigs found on the
ground.

Farmers Institutes Are
Crowd Bringers in Ohio

Although community funds for
farmers institutes have shrunk from
$4,000 to $4,000, or 40 per cent,
the total attendance or number of
persons served has continued to in
crease, rise of IA per cent in the
last two years, according to ]. p.
Schmidt, supervisor of farmers in
stitutes for the agricultural exten-
sion service of the Ohio State uni
versity.
Funds, he says, have decreased
but requests for help are greatly in
creasing. Costs averaged S.3 cents
per person attending in 1892, of
which the state paid 23 cents. The
total attendance was 709,395.
Institutes, which are open to any
citizen In the community and which
have been publicly supported since
1880, were held in all SS Ohio coun-
ties. Wayne county, home of the
Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton, had the largest number of in
stitutes and highest attendance In
1892, 16 Institutes with a total at
tendance of 37,76O.
Eighty-four per cent of the so
members of the present regular
farmers institute staff, Schmidt
pointed out, are farmers. The aver
age person In this group rates as
successful in some farm enterprise,
college trained, or master farmer
or master homemaker.
Twenty cooperating state agen-
cies furnish some talent at no cost
or for expenses only. Among these
are the state department of agri
culture, the Ohio agricultural exper-
iment station, farm organizations,
state department of education, Ohio
Bankers association, state depart
ment of health, Commodity Market
ing associations, and the Ohio

American
HerOines
By
Nellie eastman
LOUISE M. COMSTOCK

Out of the bolsterous. red-blood-
~ ed days of the Alaskan gold
rush comes the story of Nellie Cash
man, woman sOurdough, queen Of
the mines," who could mush her
way behind the dogs over endless
miles of trackless snow with the
best of them, and gained more gold
to show for II than most.
An "Old maid" was Nellie, by her
own definition. She needed no man
about to help her when she under
took mans Job. Nellie had come
West with her family in 1865. Then
the wanderlust seized her. With
a party of six men. adventurers all.
she went to San Francisco. Here
the flip of coin sent them north.
AT Victoria, British Columbia. she
learned that the scurvy was spread

the Cassiar district. With her six
followers and as many men more
and with l.600 pounds of supplies
and medicine, she went to the res.

trip on snowshoes. When news Of
her undertaking reached a neigh
boring military post. the commander
was so sure Nellie could not sur
vive he sent a detail of soldiers to
the mines ito bring back her body
for Christian burial" Nellie heard
they were coming and climbed a
tree to watch their approach.
Such was her success at stamping
out the scurvy that Nellie spent
two years near the mines. In 1915
she returned to the states and
opened a store at Tombstone. Ariz
Here she prospered and was able
to stake several of Arizona's pres.
ent millionaires on the gamble they
would find gold in the mines then
being developed near Tombstone
Nellie seemed TO have settled down.
But in 1897 word of the discovery
of gold In Alaska summoned her ir-
resistibly north again. She was

During the World war she secured
the aid of Ave citizens of Wiseman,
which she then made her home. and
started south to enlist as a Red
Cross nurse. Before she reached

over.
In 1921, when she was a woman
of seventy, Nellie made her last trip

Lost Spud Find May

blow Colorado's Hope.

BY c. H. Metzger, Associate Horticul-
turist. Colorado Agricultural College.
Colorado potato growers may in
crease their incomes at least $780,
900 yearly within three or four
years as the result of the finding
and development of an almost eX-
tinct strain of potatoes known as
dark red Peachblow or Red Nc
Clure.
The lost strain that is believed to
have originated 80 years ago was
located on the Mcclure farm at Car
bondale, from which it took it's
name. 1t was a sport or Seeding
Of the Peachblow potato.
Although this potato was pro-
duced in 1908 at q farm near Car
bondale, all trace of it disappeared
until 1927 when the college in con-
nection with its potato improvement
program, collected $50 varieties of
potatoes for comparative tests. In
this collection was the dark red
Peachblow. 1t had been obtained
from Teller county rancher.
Later the same strain of potatoes,
which commands a premium of 10
to 10 cents 100 pounds on the mar
ket because of its attractive color,
was found on farm in El PaSo
county and a ranch in Teller county.

When IL comes TO simple daytime
frocks of wearable type, most

how some of the color problems are

is greeted with a blouse of plaid

The model to the left conveys the
idea. Navy with white is almost
outrivaling black with white for

done in navy and white. Black with

for the model pictured to the right.

ably the first to use rings and in

a plain iron ring, which was placed
upon the finger Of the bride by the
bridegroom. Among the Anglo.
Saxons the groom gave a pledge

placed on the right hand. 1t was
