of the United States, from Mullnes,

'have a special -interest.-
"Wle are all well. We have told

"The new chapel of the parish of

"The trams are not running any
more.. At night we get along by the

centimes (2 cents)."
In the praise and sympathy given
so generotusly to wives and mothers
of soldiers In. this war, grand
mothers are not often mentioned, but
still In Prance at least, the grand
mother is the soul of the country,
according to the foreign news service"
of the woman's committee of the
Council of National Defense. "They
are the women who gave to France
the men at Verdun, and they are
now making it possible abroad for
the women to take the men's places
in factory innidl business, to be the
bitoadwUnner for the children. It Is
the women of ilhe last generation
who are taking care of the little
children, caring for them while the
mothers are at work, arranging for
or suwea-intendlnB thotr education,
being at advanced age mothers all
over again, for the good of their
country."
Don't become alarmed. Germany

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
SPRAYING FRUIT TIES
Control of apple and pear scab con
only le accomplished by preventing
the germination of the spores upon
tlie aurtace of .the leaves or fruit,
This is done by keeping a conitlng of
ruugh'lde on the foliage and small
fmiltH from the time that the winter
buds open until moist spring weather
Is over, mointuie Is necessary for
the germination of the spores of
this common funguB, and for this
reason scab is less prevalent in dry
seasons than in wet ones. The local
weather in Douglas county has been
ildeal lately for the spread of Ven-
Mnl poml, whloh is tho technical
name of apple snub. Complete clas
sification nomenclature describes it
Ascomycete, Pyrenomyoetes.
CONSERVATION STORE
Sphaerlalee, Sphoeriaceal, Venturla
pomi, and when K gots beyond the
control of the grower no doubt this
is a very good name.
The spores have been scattered for
two weeks from the fruiting bodies
In tlva old. leaves on the ground.
There is an abundant supply of these
spores and under Ideal conditions the
infection would become serious were
the fruit not properly sprayed-. After
the first Infection on the buds the life
cycle is quickly passed and the new
spots are again producing myriads
of spores to continue the Infection
during the moist Bprlng weather. '
Four or live applications of a fun
gicide aire advised, but if the weather
does not continue damp and rainy
one or more of these may be omit
ted. - The earliest spray is the pie
aormant. ' Tho second is the pink or
pre-blosoom spray. It Is time now
to make this on apples. The third
is the calyx application, and the
fourth follows 1 0 days or two weeks
later. In ease of late spring rains
a fifth should not bo missed, apply
ing In the second, codlin moth spray.
The pink and calyx applications are
the most Important, bocause Infec
tion is at -its height during that peri
od. I
Either . bordeaux or lime-sulphur
may be used. Bordeaux has the dis
advantage of (burning the foliage
and russetlng the fruits if the weath
er turns right and ought to use used
very carefully after the blossoms
open. Lime-sulphur in stengtho not
Btronger then 1 to 80 is a .better
spray for the foliage applications
It can be used still weaker up to
to 60 for the loot application with
good ocntrol or the fungus. The
theory of fungius control is preven
tion not cure. Do not allow the
spores to infect the fruit or leaves,
for after the tissues are lnvadied by
this parasite, spray will avail but
'. The Infection takes place on
both sides of the leaves, suggesting
thorough work with the rod or gun
Hood River found that 60 per oent of
the damage occurs in tho top of the
trees, not because the fungus likes
the higher parts of the tree, but be
cause the tops were not covered! with
spray sufficiently.
A specimen of sweet clover plant
has been on exhibition In the display
windows of this office for the past
two or threo days, ana commands
attention of farmers and stockmen
This particular plant was pulled u
from along the road near shady

gives an excellent idea of what may
ne accomplished by sowing pastures
with scedi of this desirable forage
plant. Thlo roots penetrate deeply,
and there Is no bettor soil builder
than sweet clover. If one wants to
roinvlgorate am old piece of ground
sweet clover is the thing that will
bring quickest resulta. Sown in or

ders. Cut early while the stalks are
tender, It makes 'good hay. while
It has a little brackish taste, stock
soon acquire a liking for it. It never
bloats stock, and is a sure crop. Be
sides all these good qualities, when
In blossom sweet clovor supplies
honey bees with a world of material
for converting into honey, anidi It al
