The cold wet spring is causing Oregon growers to plan an espec ially thorough spraying program to combat fruit diseases, says H. P. Barss, plant pathologist of the ex periment stotion. This is a serious year for apple and pear scab, brown rot of stone fruits, anthracnose of currants and gooseberries, and leaf spot of cane fruits.

The celebrated, four act, comedy drama, "Esmeralda," has been se lected for the annual senior class pla of the Maupin High school. Play catalogs state: "Esmeralda" is probably one of the best known I plays published in recent years. It has been produced with tremendous success by High school pupils and amateurs in general all over the country. The author of "Esmer alda," Frances Hodgson Burnett, is indexed in "Who's Who" and is widly known as a successful play write. This play is particularly well adapted to the junior and senior classes, because the caste requires six boys and five girls, which number corresponds exactly to the roll of these two classes. Co. Health Nurses, Miss Petersen, gave physical examinations to the High school students one day last week. Tuesday she began the ex amination of the grade students. , t'arueularly interesting and bene ficial was the tooth brush drill, in which she led the students, Tuesday afternoon. The physical examina tions are very important, since they point out in what respects each child needs medical attention and care. At an assembly at the High school Tuesday morning, Miss Elizabeth Enright, who is visiting her sister, talked to the High school students upon specialized courses that are of fered at the University of Oregon. Diarymen should provide sprayers and traps to keep the flies in con trol. If you will write to the U. S. Department of Agriculture they will I send you a bulletin on fly trans and their operation. Peonies may be planted now or during the early fall. They want a rich soil. Some authorities claim that manure should not be placed in direct contact with their roots but that the ground should be heavily manured in advance of planting :hem, and the manure mixed with the soil very thoroughly. Yellow corn and white corn are generally thought of equal food val ie. Yellow corn,, however, contains much more fat-soluble vitamin than xhite corn. When this vitamin is lot supplied by pasture grass or Trcen-leaved roughage or good qual ty hay, which probably contains an ibundance of this substance, yellow corn should be fed. The polor of :orn has no effect on the color of milk. Good Rotation A good rotation system should in clude a legume and cultivated crop. The rotation and crops to be used will depend upon local conditions. The purpose of growing a legume is to gather nitrogen from the air and store it in the soil. Legumes also help maintain the supply of humus. The clovers, cowpeas, soybeans, vetch and crimson clover are the leading legumes for this purpose. Vetch is usually grown with rye in the East and South. Cultivation improves the physical and chemical conditions of the soil. Furthermore, by means of cultivation manure can be worked in and made available. Last year, farmers and poultry men in this country bought at least 500,000,000 chicks from commer cial hatcheries alone. According to postal regulations, baby chicks must reach their des tination within 72 hours after they are hatched. Early hatched chickens are usual ly more profitable than the late hatched ones. Leghorns should be hatched the fore part of May in most parts of the country that is, if you want them to be in good lay ing condition by the middle of Oct ober or the fore part of November. Heavier breeds such as Plymouth Rocka, Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandottes, should be hatched not later than the middle of April if you are going to have them laying at the most profitable season of the year.
