4TH EDITION ORCHARD
SPRAY NOTES ARE OUT
[Confinned from First Psge]

In this recent edition of spray
notes DR.. Adams stated that the
weather has been favorable for a
steady development of apple blossom
buds. and that most of the varieties
will be In the pre-pink stage this
week, while the early blooming va
rieties such as the Early Ripe will
have reached the full pink stage. In
regard to scab control, therefore, II
is very essential that a thorough
spray coverage be maintained on all
varieties through the pro-pink and
pink bud stages. For this spray the
growers have been advised to use
commercial lime sulphur at the rate
of 2 gallons to 100 gallons OF diluted
spray. Bordeaux mixture of the
4-S-100 formula, or an insoluble cop
per spray. however. may be substitute
ed for those varieties not subject to
russeting, but which are susceptible
to frog-eye leaf spot. Starting with
April 26. all pink sprays should be
combined with lead arsenate 3
pounds and lime 5 pounds to each
100 gallons OF spray solution.
The peach blossom period has
practically passed without any dis
turbing temperature effects, or in
fection from brown rot. DIR. l.. A.
Stearns, entomologist at the Della
ware Experiment Station reports
that the peach moth shows only 81
percent pupation to date as compared
to rs percent at this time last year.
Curculio have not emerged to date.
but emergence will occur rapidly
with the first period of. warm
weather.
Peach growers are advised to use
lead arsenate pounds. zinc sulphate
4 pounds. and lime pounds per 100
gallons of spray for those verieties
which win be coming into the petal
fall stage by the 26th of this month.
Further information relative to these
sprays will be given in the next edi-
tion of spray notes which will be is
sued within the next week or ten
days.

WE LEAD THE WORLD

Life insurance sales, after a per-
iod of slight decline. are again ris-
ing.
During the first two months of the
year business was two per cent
ahead of the same period in 1886.
And during February the rise was
six per cent.
In that month but three sections
OF the United States showed drops.
while several sections showed ad-
vances. Largest rise-15 per cent
occurred In the New England and
the South Atlantic states.
II is probable that there is no
more accurate barometer of peo-
pies qualities of thrift and fore
sight than life insurance sales and
insurance in force. On both these
counts, we lead the world by an i'm
mense margin.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

In the past week or two, l have been pressed by mothers, not about telling the truth of Santa Claus, but something realistic-birth.
 schools almost everywhere gre taking the matter of revelation in- to their own hands, and teaching biology from the word "go." One mother is shocked because her 13- year-old daughter came home and told about Q baby they had in Q bottle. l suppose 1t was Q foetus or the embryonic stage of the unborn child. She did not seem to know.
 Another is worried because her 7.year-old was in 0 class which witt messed Q mother guinea Dig give birth to her babies. This had been led up to naturally, by talks on seeds, eggs and the development of eggs inside the body. It was all done carefully and naturally, but yet, the fact remains that the chil- dren saw more than their mothers could countenance.
 The sPros and Cons
 wish were less of a nnugwufnp than am. sit on c fence and whisk myself first to one side and then the other. see where 1t is wise, and high time too, to take the child by the hand and show him, or her, the strange rnarvels of re- production. But then, too, I see stark realism showing in where the angels like to 90. just wonder what the price will be some day when we learn to look at the flower only in terms of nitrogen and chemistry, or the human body only in terms of glands and functions.
 But haven't answered the ques- ton yet, of whether all this educa- ton meets with my approval or not, as the appeal is usually made in this way.
 I wish that I had not been con- suited, as my voice Is only one and doesn't matter. But here's how I feel, If anyone wants to know.
 Educational methods are usually worked out to 0 degree of what ap. proximates perfection. Not always, but mostly. Experiment has to be tried and the best selected. If the study of biology is now presented universally, for my letters come from various points of the compass, then most assuredly do I believe that the system has been tried and not found wanting.
 I don't like 1t and I do, for mothers have been depending on sonle one else besides themselves to take the burden. They waited too long. Now they have what they wanted and they are quite pre- pared for 1t.
 Approach Subject Cautiously
 My Idea is that the whole subject should be approached only with on eye on age, and the childs ability to understand and accept without bruising his sensibilities. We can start things as well as stop them. We can educate and ct the same time kill somethinng very essential and sweet. We are turning realistic with c vengeance, and In the future extreme realism will collect some kind of price.

 One of the incest Christmas pres en.s for practically any woman you know would be gift order on good beauty shop. With this, she could select whatever beauty prepa- rations she happens to need. Take a course of face treatments, get new permanent wave, have her hair cut and waved or just cut, depending, of course, on the amount of the gift order.
 A couple of girls we know are going to give their mother Q beauty day. They've paid in advance, and, a few days after Christmas, the mother will be able to walk into the salon they selected, spend the day getting @ facial and a body massage treatment, having her hair cut, washed and waved, nails mani. cured, feet pedicured.
 A deluxe manicure case, contain. ing every item needed for Q home manicure, from scissors to clippers, will please one who does her own nails. And tiny nail kit, equipped with Q few emery boards, two or three shades of polish, orange stick, polish remover and nail-white pen- ell, is ideal for one who has weekly manicures, but who grooms her own malls between appointments with the Ynanicurist.
 Almost every girl wants @ new llp- stick and Q compact. Among the Christmas compacts, trim, square number and Q black enamel case with a gold crown on top would be appreciated. And Q smaller coi1l- pact with case in alternating stripes of dark brown enamel and gold, packed with @ matching lipstick, makes Q perfect gift.
 If you know her coloring, give face powder. If you don't but want to give 1t anyway, be sure that the powder is an easy-to-exchange brand. Bath powder, especially If 1t is packed with cologne or soap or both, in matching scent, Is . sure- fire present.

so YOU DON'T LIKE OUR
 WEATHER?

News items tells of enactment of an ordinance in Cincinnati, "limit- ing to fifteen degrees the ditferen- tial between the temperature of any air conditioned building and the temperature outside" At last somebody IS doing something about the weather. The term diff ferential" in this item should not bother you - 1t means difference, but sounds more scientific. The Gin. cinnati ordinance was enacted in the summer time and can no doubt be amended if winter comes.
 In the summer time throughout the south and the east where heat and humidity commonly cause dis- comfort and distress, tending to in- jure health and lower efficiency, air- conditioning is as desirable in homes, offices, stores, churches and theaters as 1t is on transcontinen- tai trains and in passenger ships plying southern waters. Such equip. ment built in or installed filters, circulates and humidifies too dry air or dries too damp air, and so contributes to the comfort, health and efficiency of occupants or pa- irons. Incidentally 1t keeps rugs, draperies and upholstery clean-but removing excess of duSt--and saves furniture from shrinking and fall- ing apart.
 Tn the winter time air condition- ing is still more important for it's well recognized prophylactic value against cri. Oh, pardon me, but "call 1t Cri" is the name of a book let in the Little Lessons series, which tells you how to prevent common respiratory infections - "colds" to scoundrels who like to spread 'erl--and sets you back ten cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your address. Air-condi- tioning in the winter-time not only has this prophylactic value but operates as Q guardian or regulator of fuel consumption. It uniformly lowers the fuel bill.
 Tn any building, house or room artificially heated by whatever method, 1t is both advisable and practicable to condition the air at least to the extent of evaporating Q few gallons of water every day, for the purpose of preventing the evil effects of the extreme dryneSs of winter air when 50 warmed up. Rosenau Preventive Medicine and Hygiene, Appleton, New York, l027) says that outdoor air in win- ter ct zero temperature and 50 per cent relative humidity, when heated up to 70 degrees will have only 3 per cent relative humidity. This k drier than the air of the drieSt climate known. Average relatives humidity in Death Valley, Cali-

 I can confirm your statement that e little physiology helps banish the laxative habit.
