A good dusV con sists of 20 pounds cf hydrated copper sulphate, 20 pounds of calcium arsen ate, and GO pounds of lime. ‘The fitrt application'tof spray or dust on Irish potatoes should be made as soon as there is any evidence of insect or disease injury,’ Mr. Lutken advises. “Additional applications at about 10-day intervals may be need ed to protect the new foliage. “With tomatoes it is a good plan to spray or dust, as a protective measure, as soon as the plants have become well established after transplanting, and to follow with a second application in about 10 day a and additional applica tions as needed throughout the season. “Leaf-eating' insects and tomato fruit worms can be controlled by dusting with one pound of calcium ar senate thoroughly mixed with five pounds of hydrated lime.

Promptly at four o’clock. Governor Blackwood threw the first ball to Mayor Fuller, and the contest was on. The game began in a manner that gave promise of a close and thrilling contest, but Barnwell’s heavy artillery unlimbered in the third inning and drove two pitchers—Out* and Hen derson—to the showers, Tompkins finally retiring the side after six runs had been scored to pat the locals way out in front with a seven- run lead. Singles, two-base hite and triple^ were peppered all over the lot by the Barnwell boys, who netted a total of 25 hits. No home nm s were scoied, though two narrowly going over the fence. One of was by Correll of Carolina, who hit to deep center, only to be caught at home when he tried to score on a threw to second.
