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.

for aphis when perhaps only a dozen
trees have been attacked. 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

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

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
