(By JOHN it CARMODT, Kentucky Ex perlment Station.) Freqyent complaint Is reaching the experiment station regarding a disease that is attacking the grapes. Upon In vestigation this trouble Is usually found to be due to a parasitic fungus known as black rot. ' This is by no means a new trouble, as It Is very general In all of the sec tions where the grape ls grown. Black rot first shows Itself upon the berries nnd leaves. Usually the berries are most seriously affected and the dis ease manifests Itself upon the latter by small, clear-cut brown spots. These spots gradually enlarge until all of the berries on the stem are affected. ' It is a noticeable fact that the diseased berries do not shed but continue to Barrel Pump Suitable for. Spraying Fruit, Garden or Home Orchard. cling to the vine long after the grape season is past. It is needless to say that this serves as a peans whereby the disease is carried oyer, from one season to another. ;,; Fortunately tor the persons Inter esttd In grape culture this trouble can be readily kept In control. Where only a few vines are grown the prac tice of bagging the bunches in order to ward off the spore may be used. The bunches should be covered early In the season after the blooming sea son Is over. The ordinary paper sacks do: very well. The principal point to keep in mind is to pin the top of the bag securely so that it will exclude the entrance of the spores. It is also a good plan to clean the vineyard of any old litter, Such as leaves nnd pruned canes, as soon as convenient. Spraying with bordeaux mixture ls perhaps one of the most reliable means of control. Where the trouble is known to exist the vines should be thoroughly sprayed In' the spring Just as the buds are swelling. This appli cation should be repeated several times during the summer. The number of applications will depend somewhat on the nature of the season. If the sea son happens to be dry a fewer num ber of applications will, be needed than If the season ls warm and moist. Bordeaux mixture for this purpose may be prepared as follows: Dissolve four pounds, of copper sulphate (blue stone) and four pounds of stone lime separately In 25 gallons of water. Then pour the two together into a 50-gallon barrel and stir thoroughly. The best way to dissolve the copper sulphate is to suspend It In a cloth bag In water over night. Care should be taken not to let it come In contact with: any metal. Pumps should be brass lined where bordeaux is to be used. . PARTIAL SHADE FOR BERRIES y - ' .. 'T ' In Southern Limits of Their Range Currants and Gooseberries bo Better If Shaded; (Prepared by the United States Deparv ment of Agriculture.) Currants and gooseberries common ly do better, especially in the south ern limits of their range, if grown where ' there Is partial shade. ; This sometimes can be provided by plant ing them between fruit trees. Rasp berries and blackberries are sometimes planted between trees, but the practice Is not advisable unless the soil is natu rally moist and fertile., , , ... , . ; CALL APPLE KING OF' FRUITS ., i ;.,,..) t.u r-.',' !'.-, , Planter Should Avail Himself of Sug gestions of Experienced, Men In ., , ., His i Community...: ;.A (Prepared by the United States' Depart . ,i. i -r 'ment ot Agrlqulture.)

The fruit orchard may also be utilized as a chicken run. There should always be provision for a clothes yard or a place where clothes may be hung out to dry, and for a service yard, where wood may be conveniently piled for use. These yards, however, should be as secluded as possible, and It may be necessary to shut them off by the skillful planting of bushes and vines. The yards themselves, however, should not be cut up by putting shrubs or beds of flowers in them. 4 In planting trees and shrubbery a complete plan should be drawn up be forehand and then carried out as circumstances permit. This is much more satisfactory in the end than haphazard planting each year, because It permits ultimately of the completion of a well-thought-out scheme for the beautlfica tion of the place. Among the objects that one should have in view should be the screening of such objectionable sights as dilapidated buildings, barnyards, piles of dis carded rubbish, etc. Attractive views may be. framed In foliage and a border of plants around a lawn enhances the beauty of the well-cared-for grass. In the selection of plants it ls unnecessary and, In fact, inadvisable, to pick out a great number of different varieties. It is much better to select a few that are known to do well in the locality in question. Among those that thrive over a wide area are spirea, privet, dogwood, honeysuckle, hydrangea, mock orange wild rose and forsythia. Coniferous evergreens nnd broad-leaved evergreen shrubs should also be planted In order that there may be some touch of color around the place even In the winter. .It is not necessary to spend a large amount of money In obtaining appropriate plants or trees. Many native shrubs like dogwood, elder, sumach, etc., may be brought from near-by woods at the cost of the ,Iabor, and vines like bittersweet, five-leaved Ivy, honeysuckle, clematis, etc., may be obtained without cost. A. very5 few cents will provide flower and grass seeds which properly used will work a transfor mation in t,he grounds. . , .,, TIPS FOR POULTRY GROWERS ' Those who neglect "to' provide shnde for their hens during the trying sum mer' months are likely to regret it. The fowls must have comfort as well as food. i If the yards have no shnde It will pay to provide it even though it takes sometime and labor. . . - . Shade is regarded as one of the Im portant items in the care of the flock for the summer, wnen me not uap come on many poultry breeders trans fer the hens and young, chickens to the orchard or to a woodlot. Where shade is' not available a temporary structure six by ten feet square and four feet high is erected ; this is cov ered with burlap or canvas. An ideal place for young fowls Is near to' the edge of a corn field where they can have shade, scratching places and can find niany Insects.

The total forces' of Australia raised by vol untary enlistment numbered ; 400,000 out of a,jtotal population of less than 5,000,000."

All the facts scrambled together and the re sult the angle worm compnpy of In dianapolis, Mike 'Cain, aged twelve, president . J; Three 'years ago the boys, Who were playmates, were offered a dime by a merchant to get lilm a quart' of angle worms. That was their start and dur ing the seasons for' angle worms since then they hove built up a trade which last year called for them to supply about ten gallons of worms a week to fishermen. At the close of the 1918 season they decided to form a company and announcements were sent to cus tomers recently that the ; company would supply the worms to the trade this year. : i A "worm farm" has been developed In the back yard of the president. The worms are fed at regular intervals and cared for as a farmer would his live stock 6r a poultry fancier Ms chick ens. Almost every day boys add to the stock on hand by digging in places where experience has taught them worms are certain to be found. ' If one wants ordinary worms he can get, them cheaper than he can "the big striped, fat ones" which the company advertises as choice, and the ones fish In creeks and rivers like best. The 'choice", stock ls retailed at 10 cents a quart more than the ordinary worms. The company pays no taxes no rent, has bought only an occasional spade or bucket, and has ho- financial losses. However, the president said he Is not certain 'some of the worms have not crawled away. ' '. Fox Raising Real Industry. An Industry that was begun some years ago as a hobby, that of fox farm ing, has now grown into a real lndusi try profitable to those engaged In it. In all the provinces of Canada and In many of the northern states fox-raising Is carried on extensively. The Jap anese and Norwegians nlso are devel oping this Idea, having suitable cli matic conditions for the raising of foxes for the fur market.
