considerable emphasis to the impor-
tance of the petal-fall spray in ap-
pie orchards for the control Of scab.
and the shuck spray on peaches as
a protection against the curculiO.
The petal-fall spray should be start
ed when the petals are from two
thirds to three-fourths off. and COM
pleted IL possible by the time all the
petals have dropped. AS the calyx
lobes close shortly after the petals
have fallen. the purpose OF arseni-
Gals in this application is defeated If
this spray is applied after the calyx
lobes have closed.
For this spray. growers may use |
gallon of liquid lime sulfur. G
pounds of Hotation paste. pounds
of lead arsenate and pounds of
lime to 100 gallons. or II pounds of
fiotation paste. 3 pounds of lead ar
senate and pounds of lime to each
100 gallons of water.
The first spray mentioned above
should be used in all orchards with
any evidence Of apple scab. but If
this disease is well under control
the second spray mentioned is given
preference. In many orchards scab
has made its appearance. and may
be easily recognized by the light tan
spots on the underside of the leaves.
With reference to spraying peach
es. the shuck spray should be start
ed when two-thirds to three-fourths
of the shucks have fallen. ard COM
pleted as soon as possible thereafter.
Some of the early blooming varieties
are now ready for this application,
while other varieties will follow rap
idly with continued warm weather.
No fungicide is needed at this time
on peaches. but spray consisting of

of hydrated lime and pounds Of
zinc sulfate to each 100 gallons of
water is recommended for the con-
troll of curculio. The zinc sulfate
should be dissolved in a bucket. or

hospitals to care for the sick, the
Mayor said that it was also try

Roberts Says His
Boy Was Robbed
OF St. Louis Bout
By Art Dope

w 1t h large helpings of
Thanksgiving turkey safely
tucked away beneath our belt
and no special dinners to wor-
ry about until the yule sea-
son, we now take up the
question that has been bother
ing all Seattle fight fans since
Tuesday night. That question
is-"was Honey Boy Jones
robbed?"
Honey Boy" in case you don't
know, is the lad who arrived here
recently from Pittsburg and is I'M
der the management of Bill Ro-
berts. The Jones boy had remained
idle until an offer of a bout in
st. Louis with Ken Overlin, who
first saw the light of day at De-
catur, Ill. Minus his manager and
other human remnants of a fight
er's repertory, Jones hied himself
away for the Missouri City to swap
punches with the Illinois middle
weight and bring the bacon home
to his Washington manager.
But the Gods of chance did not
smile favorably upon Bill Roberts
protege. After blasting his way
through ten rounds of hectic fight
ing, almost closing his opponents
left eye and piling up points suffi-
cient unto a draw, Jones emerged
on the shorter end the the judges
decision. Then things began to hap
pen.
Jones wired Roberts that the de-
cision was vehemently disputed.
The Associated Press emphasized
the attack that almost closed
Overlins eye. Three st. Louis
sports writer's said in effect that
Jones "Wuz robbed" Ito pilfer a
phrase from Mike Jacobs) and that
is the chorus Bill Roberts joined.
After assembling the facts, Ro
berts says the decision is semelly.
However, Jones will return to
Seattle on the 26 and he and Ro-
berts will get together and talk
and talk plenty.
