PAGE TWO Spring Spraying Highly Important (Continued from page one) which his trees ere exposed. Tlioro are thousands of rases where tho spraying is done at the wrong time with tho wrong mixture and the man does not know what he is trying to control. "Many a man sprays against every ' pest he has ever heard of. Ho hns been told that it is impossible to grow good fruit without caroful spraying, and he gives his orchard seven or eight 'soakings during the son son, and in so doing probably throws away much of his money. He sprays for San Joso scale when there is not a scale in his orchard. He sprays the entire orchard poisons in fighting codling moth, We should not bo so conservative that we are not willing to try new mixtures, but thoy should bo tried on a very small scale and we should run them through at least two seasons bofore drawing our conclusions. "At all times the spraying work is so slovenly and careless that it is prac tically ineffective. This simply means that the mixture, tho time of the men, and the money expended have boon wasted. Again, a great deal of spray is wasted by not using the right noa eles. There are a great many on the market and each has its special use.

He sprays for anthracnose late in the spring when he should have done it in tho fall. This man is not an unusual man. He is a typical example of a large number of fruit-growers. "Many believe that because certain mixtures are good separately they are even better when combined. Investi gation shows that most of this "is fool ish; that it is wasteful; that the mix tures are often absolutely worthless; and that certain elements which are splendid when separate are practically worthless when combined. I have known entire crops to be sacrificed because a man has decided that the addition of a certain amount of lye would be beneficial to his spray. "A large percentage of growers on the Pacific coast this year made some costly experiments in substituting new the grower should acquaint himself with their purposes before he decides that one is superior to all others on all occasions. We waste a great deal of spray, too, using many gallons more than is necessary. "While the orchard is still young a barrel pump will often give excellent service and save the outlay of $400 or $500 necessary if a really good outfit is purchased. But when the orchard comes into fruiting it is absolutely necessary to have better sprayers, Small growers should combine and buy an outfit co-operatively. I am satisfied, too, that in a great many cases we are making a mistake in demanding so high pressure and having to use such powerful, heavy and expensive outfits. There are many diseases and insects that can be controlled nicely with less pressure and less expensive outfits if appropriate nozzles are used." To be Better Surgeon Aids (Continued from page one) there is no scar, not even a bump, per haps. Yet, there may be caused a pressure that is perverting the child, that is making a bad boy, morose, dis obedient, vicious, of the lad who should be cheerful, willing to do what is ex pected of him, anxious to "amount to something," as the homely phrase for measurable success has it. This is where the surgeon and his knife become part of the equation. A simple operation, dangerless, removes the source of trouble. The boy be comes as nature intended him to be. Yet, a few years ago, science did not know this and the baby that bumped its littlo head had the finest oppor tunity to grow up as a criminal, or, at least, a detriment to society. The sur geon's knife is better as a corrective than the rod of punishment. Then, there is the child that cannot learn, that is always behind normal youngsters of its ago. Science now says that stupidity is to be cured by surgery, too. Tho child that is stupid, that is vacant eyed and seemingly pur poseless, is, nine times out of ten, af flicted with adenoids. Enlarged ton sils or adenoid growths in the upper part of the throat are responsible for thousands upon thousands of cases of mental inefficiency. To take out the adenoids is not a very serious matter, yet the results are wonderful. Opera tions for the removal of such growths are being performed in great numbers every day now. The surgeon's knife helps the child to become intelligent, to learn, to be bright and normal. Also, modern surgery has come to the aid of the crippled and maimed. The surgeon's kit now includes many of the tools of the cabinetmaker, the saw, the chisel, the brace-and-bit. In some instances, hammer and nails have been brought into use in the op erating room. Bones have been actu ally nailed to bones, in instances when there was no other method possible. Clubfoot and humpback, two distress ing deformities, are now being reme died. Tho former is due to a lack of development of eertain bones in the foot and the other to a tubercular con dition of the spine. Both are now be ing treated with success. Bone trans planting hns been reduced to a science, as has the grafting of bone. The mak ing of a new nose is just an every day matter fur the modern surgeon. Ir. Alexis Carrel, recently awarded unusual honor for his remarkablo work, has done something in transplanting organs. He is somewhat of a pioneer in this, but the time may come when one can acquire a new stomach, or some such important part of one 's physical machinery. Who can tell? THE KAISEE'S SON. A diplomat at a dinner in Washing ton, says the Star, discussed the Crown Prince of Germany. "Ho gives his poor father a lot of trouble," tho diplomat said, with a frown. "The Reichstag incident, where he showed open disapproval of the kaiser's peace policy, is only one of many similar incidents that the public hears nothing about. "A friend of mine, one winter night, was skating with the crown prince at St. Moritz, in the Swiss Engadine. The sky. glanced and glittored splendidly with its host of stars, and my friend, pointing to a star of marvelous bril liance,, said: " 'I wonder what star that isf " 'Doubtless,' said the crown prince, with a sneering laugh, 'it is some new decoration my father has seen fit to honor the Euler of the heavenB.'

Automobile is Aid to Farmer Agricultural Uses for Motor Cart Are Many And Varied, with Possibilities Undreamed of Until Recently T 11 cxtonsiva uso of automobiles us ploasuro vehicles has gouo far beyoud tho expectations of tho optimists of 10 or 12 years ago who looked for tho greatest devel opments in tho building of dolivory wagons ami wagons for tho huuling of farm produce. This oxtraordinnry ex pansion in ouo direction has boeu of such absorbing interest that the Bteady gains of tho automobile for utilitarian purposes has not attracted as much at tention as it should. The predictions n r being fulfilled, not only as they re late to tho employment of the maohiues by business houses in the cities, but to their employment by farmers also. We have before us a copy of "The Pacific Kural Press," with n largo illustration across the front page of "an automo bile as a milk and cream carrier from farm to creamery." Tho machine has seats for two persons, and at the rear is a platform on which are set six cans of milk. The accompanying article, in discussing the merits of tho automo bile and the horse from tho farmer's point of view, tays that when it is con sidered that tho utility automobile possesses such power equipment that it can travel the worst roads at any season of the year, can negotiate any hills which could he climbed with a horn mul whjjom and requires hut the "Viiuplost attention, it sooms to be pretty well adapted to tho uses of the farm, ami this interesting comparison fol lows: "Tho expense of upkeep iu some cars hns been reduced until today a mail can operate a car, spending less for oil and gnsolino thau tho cost of feeding a horse. Tho ear is a mutter of expense only when in actual opera tion, ami while lit operation its road capacity is at loa.it four times that of a horso-driven vehicle. As for repairs, if the car is given reasonable euro and attention, they should bo littlo in ox cess of tho cost of shoeing and repair on harness, etc. in point of operating knowledge, even whore this is not sim ple enough, tho farmer has a great ad vantage, as ho is of necessity more of a mechanic than the city inau." Unquestionably, tho invention menus a vast increase in the marketing fa cilities of the farmer, and ho must de rive advantages also from the use of tho automobile in getting about. Go ing to town used to ho a great event whou a journey out and back of five miles had to be taken at a jog trot, lint with automobiles and trolley cars it is a very small matter.
