Orchardists and gardeners using
copper sulphate to control mildew
and other fungus diseases are going
to pay more for this fungicide. A
price increase CT 25 cents per hun
dredweight of monohydrated copper
sulphate produced in the east and
packed in 12A-pound paper bags
within 200-pound drums, has been
announced by OPA. The increase,
which is applicable only to carlot
sales at the Wholesale level, may be
passed on to consumers by retailers
who buy in carlots. The retail in
creases amount to 3 cents per 12h-
pound bag This action, effective
December 16, 1914, restores the Gus
tomary price differential between
the bag packed and the bulk-packed
drums. OPA recently raised the
price of the bulk-packed product.
Monohydrated copper sulphate is a
basic ingredient in the manufacture
of fungicides, used as a dust, essen

TRUCK CROP MOVEMENT

This condensed report of truck
crop movements is given by the
California Crop and Livestock Re-
porting Service. Artichoke harvest
is active with good quality chokeS
available and the movement should
continue at close to present levels
during the balance of December.
Fall broccoli is available in most of
the coastal areas of the state. Rail
shipments are coming from San
Jose, Castroville and the Edison dis
trict of Kern county. Quality of the
broccoli is generally coed, and un-
less the next two weeks should de-
velop some severe weather, the
movement should continue at near
present levels. Cabbage is in limited
supply and available only for needs
of local markets. 1t is not expected
that quantities will permit rail ship
ments before January. Carrots are
being loaded in most areas of the
central coast, and it is expected that
a fairly heavy movement will con-
tinue through December. Cauli-
flower harvest is past it's peak and
during the balance of December,
most of the rail shipments will origi-
nate in the coastal areas. Harvest
in southern California is new con-
fined almost wholly to meeting local
requirements. Celery harvest in the
delta area has passed its peak, and
during the next 10 days many grow
ers will finish the fall deal. Con-
tinued heavy movement is expected
out of Salinas and Santa Maria
during the remainder of the month.
Lettuce shipments have started
from the Imperial Valley and the
movement will increase during the
latter part CT December, but will not
be in full production until after the
first of the year. Pea shipments
during the latter part of December
we're confined to light pickings in
the southern San Joaquin Valley
and to few cars of mid-winter
peas from the Imperial Valley. An
appreciable volume is not expected
until after the middle of January
An occasional car of tomatoes is be-
ing loaded out of the Imperial VAL
ley The movement, however, will be
light.
HARD MACHINERY
Want to take a guess on which
piece of farm machinery gets the
most use?
It's not the tractor nor the plow,
cultivator, drill, nCr harrow. What is
it? It's the milking machine. Re-
ports show that three out OF four
farmers WHO have milking machines
use them 365 days out of the year.
And more farmers are using milk
ing machines now than ever before.
It's due to the war; of course. When
dairy farmers were faced with the
problem more cows to milk and
fewer hands to milk them they
solved it by putting milking ma
chimes to work.
Result is, today, dairy farmers OF
America are using so per cent more
milking machines than they were
using at the beginning of the war.
Yes, the machine has come to old
Bossy.
Today, one COW in four is ma
chine-milked.
And here are some tips on when
YOU get economical use of a milking
machine:
When you milk herd of more
than 10 cows.
When you use the machine every
day in the year.
And when you keep tie milking
machine thoroughly cleaned.

There was little question, how
ever, that the Russian sweep to and
across Germany's eastern frontiers
had touched off wave of hysteria
spreading back to the capital of
the Reich.
All accounts indicated the Nazis
were combing out the last dregs of
their manpower to man their east

trying to clear the refugee -choked
roaes for the movement of reserves
to the front.

Berlin said all women and chill
dren were being removed from BreS-
lau as that Silesian industrial CEN
ter came under the guns of the Red
army, and similar mass excavations
were in progress throughout east
ern Germany and the areas Of
western Poland not already over
run by the Russians.
A Berlin dispatch to the Stock
holms Tidningen said many of the
incoming refugees were Berliners
who had fled to East Prussia and
Silesia to escape the Allied bomb
ing and that their return had spread
panic in the capital.
mo people, said one Berlin ra-
dio commentator, can take the

SMALL BOY dies
In "HOME" FIRE

DETROIT, Aug. 5.-(R- One
small boy was burned fatally and
his twin brother critically in an
explosion and fire today at an
[orphanage and old people-s home.
Death claimed seven-year-old Al
bert Cade in Receiving Hospital
tonight and physicians feared fol
the life Of his brother, Alfred.
Police said the twins and their
four brothers and sisters had been
left in the home after the divorce
Of their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Glenn Cade, two or three years
ago.
Frightened inmates of the insti-
tuition were removed by police and
fiji emen, and neighbors assisted in
caring for infirm persons and chill
dren until the blaze was extinguish-
ed and the building was ready for
reoccupancy.
The fire followed an explosion
in the basement laundry of the
Evangelical Home for Orphans and
Old People, situated on West Grand
Boulevard and housing 1875 children
and 65 elderly persons. Three
alarms were sounded and police
and firemen together rushed to
the scene.
Seven-year-old Albert and Alfred
Cade, twins, were burned critical
ly, and physicians said there was
doubt whether they would survive.
A number OF inmates received
first aid treatment from police and
firemen and were placed in care
OF neighbors. Thick smoke in the
halls and rooms Of the two-story
brick building hampered the rescue
work.
The fire, however, was confin-
ed to the laundry room in the base
ment.
The Cade twins and three wo-
men wards Of the home were taken
to receiving hospital.
MISS Esther Koch, IN charge OF
the orphanage, said the explosion
occurred at 5:35 pm. and she ran
to the basement where she saw
the twins with their clothing in
| flames.
The boys were running down a
hallway, Miss Koch said, and she
caught them and snuffed out the
flames.
The three women, overcome by
smoke, were reported out of dan
ger at the hospital.
Two hours after the blaze most
OF the occupants had returned to
the building, and police said there
was no further danger.
