Since the commercial llme-Htil-ntnir siiray, as well ua tho home boiled, should bo considered n dor mant spray for thlB vnlloy, a strongth of 4.6 HoRumo (1.030 Siieclflc Grav ity) should he used. This Is Btrong or than necossnry for somo Insects, oapeclally the San Johc scnlo, but when It Is Intended to control wooly apple aphis and greon apple aphis at one spraying It Is not too strong. When spraying for these two Insects, , too early application of tho lime-sulphur does not glvo good results. The spray applied Just before tho buds open Ikib alvu)s given the veiy be3t results. Ah a general rule, llmo-sul- . plnir should not be diluted more than the above strength for nny spraying In the spring no matter what variety or fruit tree Is to he treated. This advlsu Is given with tho understand ing that tho trees aro dormant, or practically so. Id. Tho action of tho lime-sulphur upon Insects depends to a very great extent upon tho amount of free sul phur which vlll bo deposltod, upon oxposuro to tho nlr, In a. very finely divided Htnte. The finely divided sulphur Is thrown down when tho higher sulphides (CnSl and CaS5) break down. Finely divided sulphur Its further deposited when tho calcium thlosulphato (CaS203) breaks down forming calcium sulphite (CaBOII). Thg first action of the llmo-sulphur on scnlo Insects may bo tho loosening of tho scnlo covering through tho caustic proporty of tho llmo. Later, tho free sulphur deposited by' tho breaking down of tho polysulphldo of calcium, and tho calcium sulphite destroy tho Insects. 1C. Tho changing of tho sulphur to sulphur dioxide cortalnly takes place to somo extent, hut this oxidation can havo very little to do with tho Insec tlaldal proportion of tho lime-sulphur. 17. I, line-sulphur Is not so effective as Ilorduaux mlxturo for fall spray ing. Tho fact that tho freo sulphur doposltod by the breaking down of the hlghor sulphides, is readily washed away by tho winter rains is reason enough' for not. using It to control poaoh blight, or shot holo, and apple anthrnruose. Of courso, it Is not to bo understood that lime-sulphur will not control these diseases to some ex Junt. hut In all of our work on tho Pacific Const, which includes tho fruit dlstrlrtH of Southern Oregon and the deciduous fruit districts of Calif ornia, lime-sulphur has not been so effective ub Dordeaux mixture. 18. Since San Jose scale attacks practically all varieties of cultivated orchard fruits, many ornamontals, shrubs, vinos, roses, etc., lime-sulphur should ho used as n spray In the spring of the year. Tho host re sults aro always Becurcd by spring spraying with this wash. Actual ex periments on a broad scalo havo shown that spring spraying has prov en 10 to fiO por cent better than fall applications. For an insect so pro lific as San Jose scale, nothing but absolute control should bo considered. It Is poor economy to secure but par tial control of Insect pests or fungous dlscnses by applications of tho proper spray at tho wrong, time, or by ap plications of tho wrong spray at the proper time. Conclusion. ' In conclusion tho writer wishes to say to the fruit growers of the Itoguo Itivor Valley that lr thoy will follow closely the recommendations to be found In tho pages of this short bul letin, they cannot go very far astray In controlling tho Insect pests and fungous diseases for which the llmc Hiilphur, and Its other compounds, have been advised. It Is not too much to say that by the application of the Kino-sulphur spray onco a year dur ing tho spring as late as possible, moaning Just before the buds open, trees will bo kept clean and healthy. Not only will tho lime-sulphur and somo of Its combinations, eradicate many Insect pests and fungous di seases, but It will also rid tho trees of moss, lichens and other clinging CHURCH RULES LENTEN Rev.

Special services will continue throughout the lenten season. J ii addition to the regular luornim; massed which every Catholic is sup posed to attend during tho iO days of Lent, there will bo special servicer of penance every Wednesday and I'Vi- j day evening during Lent. I Archbishop Christie has issued the following statement of rules to be observed by Catholics in his diocese during the Lenten .seasen: 1. The use of flesh meat is al lowed at every meal on Sundays, us well as the principal meal on Mon-i days, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat urdays, Saturdays of the Kinber days and holy week excepted. 2. The use of fish, milk, butter and eggs is permitted on all days ol Lent at the evening collation, and the principal meals on these days on which the use of flesh meat is for bidden. II. In the morning a small piece of bread is allowed with u cup of coffee, tea, chocolate or some similar drink. '1. When the principal meal cannot be taken before noon, the order may he inverted and the collation taken in the morningg and (lie dinner m the evening. 5. Lard and grease niny be used in prepnring the lawful victuals. (I. Those of the faith who are ex empt from tho obligation of fasting can, on the days when the use ot flesh meat is permitted to all of the faithful, ho allowed to use it several times a day, as on the Sundays ol Lout, when the obligation is not bind ing. The use of both flesh meat and fish together at the same meal is strictly forbidden during the whole of Lent. Dispensation for Working .People, 7. Hy virtue of the authority con ceded to bishops in the United States by n recent pontificinl indult, per mission is grunted to "working peo ple" to use meat on nil days of Lent, with tlio exception of Fridays-, Ash Wednesday and the Saturday of holy week',' This dispensation from abstinence tcnds to all three repasts iu the day. Tho usual prohibition remains against using flush meat and l'i&h at the same meal. Where tho wage earner, in virtue of the indult, uses meat, all the mem bers of the household may likewise use it. The church does not wish to impose upon the household tliein convenience of double cooking. Rut ui eases of this kind those member f (he household who may be bound bv tho precept of fasting are allowed the tine of meat only ut their princi pal repast. I Those Who Need Not Past. , The following persiyis are exempt1 from fasting: All thoe who have! nut attained their 2Ut year or whu have passed their sixtieth year;! those whose weak health or eondi J tion otherwise niny demand the fun amount of nourishment, and all tlm-v whose occupation are of u luboriouoj r cltHUtiug nature. Those who ure excused from fnt-' ing, on account of age or hurd labor, j may use flesh meat more than once u the days on which it is allowed. It its eminently iu accordance with (he spirit of the church that nil those who use the dispensations from the fast tuid nliBtineuee, should supplv . in part, the spirit of H'uance, li prayers and alms deeds; by nxeidim: all public shows, parties and amu-" uieiits, and by ahiaiiiiug from all in toxicatiiii; hewTnae.
