No not wait for leaves to fall. Peaches, apri cots, almonds and plums should also be sprayed at the same time to pre vent peach blight or shot hole. In each case 5-5-50 Bordeaux should be used. "To make good Bordeaux, dis solve the bluestone and dilute It so that a quantity equal to half the combined mixture is made. Slake the lime and dilute It in the same way. Then allow the diluted lime and bluestone to run together through a pipe or trough into the spray tank. Never mix in any other way. Caution The Oregon fruit pest laws provide a severe penalty on per sons having nest Infected trees or vines on their premises, or for sell ing diseased or wrongly named trees. Pear Blight This Is a germ or bacterial disease of the pear, apple and quince. It also affects wild crab apple, haw and servleeberry. The only remedy Is to cut out and burn all affected parts. Examine trees carefully during dormant peri od to be sure that no blight is held over in the bodies to produce infec tion tho following year. Disinfect your tools with corrosive sublimate having n strength of one to one thousand. Do not spend your money or your time with advertised reme dies. They nre worse than useless.

RACE SUICIDE A REAL BLESSING Tho Biibject of race suicide has been discussed by Dr. Woods Hut chinson In Its several features. He thinks our Immediate forefathers can claim no credit for large fami lies for they either gave no thought to the question at all or welcomed children as future bread winners. The doctor has a mixture of Ideas which are hard to follow when one takes Into consideration that the men nnd women of the past who ha've led tho world upward and onward ; have, as a general rule, come from I homes w hero poverty was not un I known. The Lincoln home presented i the very worst side of poverty and j yet a boy was reared nnd sent forth mentally equipped to save his coun try. In all the states nre Instances to bo found where Impoverished soli nnd homes hnvo produced men ami women head and shoulders above the .product of Dr. Hutchinson's Ideal j homes of the rich. The pampered 'offspring of such surroundings haw too often become failures In life. Hut ! let the doctor, however, tell hU own story. j "To sum up," he says. "1 believe jthat the evidence I conclusive that , int o suicide, so far as It has yet gone, ,8 proved an almost unmixed ig instead or a curse; uiui iu,'" an never asain return to the method of blind and wholesale reproduction i without thought of the future. No j class or group m m -" i which believes Itself worthy to exist nn. of course, view with equanimity any proposal to limit the offspring of marriages to less than tnree, or such number as may be necessary to secure the survival of that quota to!afternoon promises to be of unusual nslulf n eta an t hat tho second genera- ,. tion may be at least a trifle more nu merous than the first. "On the other hand, biologic mor ality while deprecating tne proauc- tlon o! children, who are likely to be born unfit, or become so from lack of proper support and training, glori fies and exalts as both the highest racial duty and the most precious Individual privilege the bearing of children by those who are personally fit to bear and financially competent to rear such as will be of value to the state. There Is no achievement net- ter worth living for, no more valu able legacy that can bo left to the future, no more enduring claim to honorable remembrance, than a fam. ly of well-born, well-reared children. "At the same time, there is a growing tendency to encourage and promote In every possible way the marriage at a reasonably early age of young people, who are particularly desirable as future ancestors, to use a Hlberuicism. Somo day possibly we may become sufficiently 1 Intelli gent to endow this sort of matrimony I with slate funds. At. nil events, an intelligent direction of race fertility, by selection of parents and rational limitation of tho number of children, will be the path of future progress." Dr. Hutchinson needs to be told that reforms never go backward. The Roosevelt idea is the modern method of saving nations and these Ideas must be followed If our coun try Is to be rescued from the fato of France, which Is now' constantly do creasing in population because of race suicide. To ndopt Dr. Hutchinson's theories would take us back to the Plato Re public. The doctor's Ideas are taken from that author as far as regards the selection of desirable progenators of the race. Plato asked state aid to rear children or rather urged that certain promising boys and girls bo selected by the state to bo cared for and educated with the idea of their progeny becoming the office hold ing class. To advocate this doctrine hardly comports with our Institutions nnd ideas of government. U is blood that tells, not poverty or riches. The Rest Fluster.
