L. QL'AINTAXCE, Entomologist In CTiarse Fruit Insect Investigations. United States Department of Agriculture. The San Jose scale is just now ex ceedingly abundant and destructive in many orchards in the Bentonville, (Ark.) section, and growers state they are unable to adequately control the pest with the usual dormant tree treat ments with lime-sulphur spray. While the bureau of entomology believes that thorough spraying with dormant tree strength of lime sulphur will con trol the San Jose scale, yet to meet the desire of orchardists for other than lime-sulphur treatments, a number of experiments with sprays were under taken. The purpose of the present article is to call attention to results secured in the treatment of the scale by the use of a spray containing 2 per cent of lubricating or engine oil emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. Remarkably Effective Spray. Tne careful experiments in Florida by W. W. Yothers with various sprays for the control of citrus scale insects and the orans white fly, as published in Farmers' Bulletin 9P.a, resulted in a formula of engine-oil spray which has been found remarkably effective in view of Him iniHll amount of oil used. minutes the brown scum beginsto dis appear and at this stage the kettle is removed from the fire and the entire mixture is pumped twice under pres sure of about 60 pounds while still very hot. A proper emulsion cannot be made by stirring nor should the mix ture .be allowed to Cool before it is pumped. Too much pumping will often break up the emulsion. During pump ing, ordinary pump packing is burnt up rather quickly by the hot oil mix ture. For making the stock emulsion on a large scale an all-metal pump would be necessary. The stock emuislon contains GO 2-3 per cent of oil. To make a 2 per cent emulsion for use In a 200-galIon spray tank it is necessary to use G gallons of the stock emulsion. Precaution should be taken to pre vent the stock emulsion from freezing, which occurs at a temperature of about lo degrees F. above zero. Use Soft Water. In case difficulty Is experienced in making a proper emulsion, due to hardness of the water, the water used should be softened by the addition of 1 pound of caustic soda or lye per 100 gallons of diluted spray. The caustic soda should be dissolved in 2 or 3 5....- ' t I- J X San Jose Scale With Larvae and Adult Eeetles Feeding on Them A, Adult Beetle; B, Larvae; C, Pupa; All En'arged. namely, 1 per cent, emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. Mr. Yothers found that any one of several oils of the lubricating type, when thoroughly emulsified and used at the dilution In dicated, was quite effective against these scale insects and the white fly, and these sprays have now come into large commercial use in Florida. The surprising efficiency of a spray containing such a low per cent of oil suggested the desirability of testing sprays of this character against the San Jose scale. The abundance and destructiveness of the scale in the Bentonville section of Arkansas and the desire of growers for other than lime sulphur sprays, has offered ex cellent opportunity for testing Various dilutions of engine oil sprays against this pest. The experiments were car ried out by A. J. Ackerman, of the office of deciduous fruit insect inves tigations, and have included tests of lubricating oils of a strength of from one-half per cent to 4 per cent or 5 per cent, thoroughly emulsified with potash fish-oil soap. The results showed practically complete killing of the scale by one thorough application of the spray of a strength as low as 2 per cent of oil. Orchardists have been so pleased with the results that the 2 per cent oil spray will be ex tensively used in their present neces sity of bringing the pest under subjec tion. Injury by Oil Spray. A point yet to be established in con nection with the present experiments Is the possibly injury from' oil spray which may result to the trees, twigs, or fruit buds, and several seasons' ex perience will be necessary before a final decision on this question can b reached. In view of the experience In Florida in spraying citrus trees In foliage with 1 per cent of oil, it is felt that dormant deciduous trees will prob ably stand without Injury one annual treatment containing 2 per cent of oil. In order to render the treatment available to orchardists who may wish to test It on a small scale, the follow ing directions for making the stock emulsion are given : Formula for Stock Emulsion.

Select a semi-protected location from the southwest winds for your tomato plants for home use. Build ings, trees, a hill or com afford good protection. Do not set the plants too close to the protecting object or they will be injured by shade. Fertilize the soil. Set the plants deep In rows five feet apart and plants two to three feet in the rows. ALFALFA WITH NURSE CROPS Good Stand Made at Massachusetts Station Planted With' Red and a Little Wh'ite Clover. Alfalfa sowed with peas and oats, as early as the ground can be worked, along with red clover, and a little white clover, made a good stand at Massachusetts station. The nurse crop was cut rather early for cows, and the legumes grew so rankly dur ing the moist summer as to make a heavy cutting in September, with two crops the next season. Caring for Little Chicks. Brooding and caring for chicks Is far more Important than hatching. To chill the chicks Is always fatal. It often -costs something to learn this. PLANT PEAS FOR ALL SEASON si- Soil Should Be Prepared the Same as for Other Crops. Some Fertilizer Should Be Scattered Where Row Is to Be Planted and Then Raked In Scatter Seed Along In Furrow. In planting grarden peas first pre pare the soil the dhme as for other crops, then scatter a little fertilizer where the row is to be planted and rake this Into the soil. Next stretch a line and make a deep mark with the corner of the hoe. The bottom of this mark should be at least three laches across so that the seed can be spread somewhat and not crowded too closely together. Scatter the seed In this furrow 15 to 20 seeds to the foot, then cover about three Inches deep and slightly firm the soil over the seed -with the back of the hoe. About two weeks will generally elapse be fore the sprout appears above the ground. At least three, and preferably four, plantings should be made at Intervals Of two weeks In order to keep Tip a continuous supply, advises the United States Department of Agriculture. If j&e first planting Is of Alaska the 8 ond should be of Gradus or Thomas Laxton, while the third should be of Excelsior and the fourth of Telephone or some similar variety. This will guarantee a continuous supply. There Is nothing particularly diffi cult about the cultivation of peas Just keep them well hoed and prop erly' trained upon the brush or wire trellis to keep them off the ground. After the peas are all gathered the vines and trellis can be removed and the ground planted to late potatoes, late cabbage, spinach, turnips, late snap bans, or any crop that It Is de sired to grow during the last summer or tall months. SPRAYING FOR PEAR PSYLLA Under Suitable Weather Conditions - Pest May Be Exterminated With Nicotine. Experiments In dusting and spray ing for pear psylla lead to the con clusion that under suitable weather conditions the pear psylla adult on In dividual trees may be exterminated with equal certainty by either dusting or spraying with nicotine prepara tions. The practicability of freeing an entire orchard of the pest remain to be demonstrated.

He broke up their meetings and many of these so cieties and their activities ceased to operate by reason of his learning so much of their prop aganda and plotting. His home is in Toledo, O., where the American Legion has as its com mander this same Gustavus Ohlinger. The Legion convention was in full blast in his home city when a wealthy Toledoan burst in and announced that be would jay the entire expense of the ex-sorvK-e men's gathering if they would drop their bonus stand. What Ohlinger told him was never learned from a five-foot shelf, but it was good enough to cause a hurried exit on the part of the Toledo business man. That's why the Legionnaires like him. Kid gloves miyht be alright to use sometimes, but Ohlinger doesn't draw them on when he tackles Legion prob- j lems. l'.orn of German parentage in China, a close friend of the late Theodore Itoosevelt, world traveler and famed as having ridden a bicycle across South Africa are a few of the things that show why "Gus" stands ace high with the Legion men and also why he must be reckoned with by any group whose Americanism is questionable. yf3 00 s J A Trying Period Through Which Everr W oman Must Pass Practical Suggestions Given by the Women Whose Letters Follow Pbila,, Pa.

MANY "OUT OF COMMISSION Nearly Dozen Destroyers Which Wore Coveted Gold Star on Stacks, Are Doomed. A typewriter has at last defeated nearly a dozen of the destroyers which for four years zizagpred through the North sea and in the submarine zone of the Atlantic and gained notable vic tories over German submarines. The coveted jrold stars, worn on the stacks, where all might see and know that a German sub had met death, were awarded the Parker, O'Brien, Cum mings, Porter, Davis and many others which have been ordered "out of com mission' by the Navy department. "Out of commission"' means nothing more or less than that the fast grow ing navy junk pile grows higher. Never again, probably, will these greyhounds of the deep circle around a lleet of transports, suddenly dive off to one side, sweep back again, drop a depth bomb, and then watch the oil come to surface that shows another German submarine has gone down to visit Davy Jones.. The thrills of the deeds of these "star" destroyers are a bit overshad owed by the news that the Shaw is slated for the scrap heap, too. She was escorting the huge British transport Aquitania when the rudder jammed and the giant ship ran her down. The Jacob Jones also brings back sad mem ories. She is named for the first Ill fated torpedo boat of that name which was sunk while battling in the subma rine zone. Foch Was One of Them. ""Why an honorary member; wasn't I one of the men from Tarbes who fought during the war?" said Marshal Foch when he was asked to become an honorary member of the Tarbes, France, Federation of Former Com batants, a French organization sim ilar to the American Legion. The latter outfit thought the Marshal was so much one of them that they mad him an active member in George Wash ington post of Washington, D.
