Haynie V Standard Spray For Plant Diseaaes la The Bordeaux Mixture c t Stock solutions may be made now p for the season's operations and kept 0 0 on hand for use when needed. To r make this solution, dissolve bluestone (copper sulphate) in water at the rate a of one pound of bluestone to one jjal- f Ion fo water. Use onlv wooden, glass ^ copper or earthenware vessels. Place v the bluestone in a cloth bag and sus- v pond it for a few hours just under the j, surface of the water. Then slake one ^ pound of fresh stone lime for each f pound of bluestone, adding enough water to make one gallon for each pound of lime used. Thus if you use four pounds of bluestone you will r have four gallons of lime solution. _ To prepare the spray for use, put one quart of the bluestone solution . and ten quarts of water in the sprayer tank. Start the pump with a stream, not a spray nozzle, and with good v pressure direct the stream back into the tank. Then while the pump is run- 1 ring strong, pour in slowly one quart ? of the lime solution. Pour the lime J water slowly and let it enter the liquid in the tank at the shmc point where s the blue stone spray is being puniped j iti. This insures quick and thorough mixing. After the mixing is complete, s continue to pump the solution back j into itself for a minute or two. Give careful attention to straining. Do not u-e muddy water. Well ? water is better than stream or tank . water. Spray as soon as the dilution is 11 ado, since it should be applied while * fresh. ( Another way for mixing the solution is this: Add 3 quarts of water to T 1 quart of bluestone stock solution I and 3 quarts of water to -1 quart of lime stoc k : iution. Pour these togeth- ( er slowly and stir vigorously all the \ while. (For large quantities of spray i material increase the two solutions by equal number of gallons desired), i If one ounce of arsenate of lead towder (or two ounces of arsenate of l' iid paste) i: added to this solution, it . beooi: os lughly effective in destroy- ^ kig chewing insects. A little more , than a teaspoonful of nicotine .sul-, j e' r.to added to 8 quarts of the mix-' iuro will be effective aguin.-t suckling J insects. 5 Dusting j 1 For caterpillars, beetles, and other t chewing insects poiso 1 powder appli- ( od with force is one of the easiest and most effective means of control, and i every gardener should be provided i with a dust gun.

Dissolve 1 teaspoonful f nicotine sulphate in a pint of watr. Mix well and add three quarts to nake a gallon. Spray with force, usng a fine nozzle. If leaf tobacco is1 vailable, it makes a good substitute or the nicotine sulphate, if properly irepared. Boil 1 pound of tobacco in trater for half an hour, strain and add vater to raise to 2 or 3 gallons. It 3 then ready for use. These two soluions may also be used with some efect against harequin or calico $ugs. PINE GROVE Mrs. J. H. White who has been seiously ill for the past week is imiroving.

MONEY IN FOX RAISING More fur farmers are engaged in aising foxes than any other fui-bcarng animal, according to reports to he Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture. Observations made in the field by rep esentatives of the Survey indicate hat at least 50 ranchers are raising silver foxes, and that there are be;woen 12,000 and 15,000 foxes in cap;ivity. It is estimated that about $8,100,000 is invested in this industry. The industry of breeding fur-bearng animals has grown because of the apid development of the modern fur .rade in the last 25 years. The United States is the largest fur market and fur-consuming country in the world. .EBRj!

"There used to be n wheelsman tne Marina Corvet years ago who >ked like him; or looked like what Is fellow may have looked Like once, ran't be sure." Ho turned to Constance. "You're Ipg home, Connie? I'll see you over ere. I'll come back about this aftermi. Conrad." Alan followed them to the door and j >sed it after them, lie spread the ankcts over Luke. Luke's coats, tiich Alan had removed, lay upon a ialr, and he looked them over for urks of Identification. A side pocket oduced an old brinr; there was nothg else. Then Alan walked restlessabout, awaiting Spearman. Speuran, he believed, knew this nun; learman hud not evep ventured upon odified denial until he was certain ut the man was dead; and then he id answered so as not to commit mself, pending learning from Conance what Luke had told. But Luke hud said nothing about learman. It had been CJorvet, and [>rvet alone, of whom Luke hud ?oken; It was Corvet whom he had reused; It was Corvet who had giver. m money. Was It conceivable, then, nit there had been two such events In orvet's life? That one of these rents concerned the Mlwaka and [ carman and some one?some one vlth a bullet hole above the eye"? ho had "got" Corvet; and that the her event had ooucerned Luke and miethtag else? It was not concelvale, Alan was sure; it was all one ilng. If Carvet had to do with the iwaka, then Luke had had to do with too. And Spearman? But if Spenran had been Involved In that guilty ilng. had not Luke known It? Then hy had not Luke mentioned Spearlan? Or had Spearman not been reul' Involved? Had it been, perhaps, ily evidence of knowledge of what orvet had done that Spearman had led to discover and destroy? Alan went to the door and opened , as he heard Spearman upon the ;eps again. Spearman waited only ntil the door had been reoloscd beltiU him. "Well, Conrad, what was the idea of ringing Miss Shorrll! into this?" "I didn't bring her In; I tried the est 1 could to keep her out." "Out of what?exactly?" "You know better than I do. You now exactly what it is. You know lat man, Spearman; you know what e came here for. I don't mean money; mean you know why he came hero >r money, and why he got it. I tried, s well us I could, to make him tell 10; hut he wouldn't do It. There's isgrnce of some sort here, of course? Isgrace that involves my father and, think, you too. if you're not guilty ith my father, you'll help me now; if ou are guilty, then, at lnast, your N*isal to help will let me know that."
