High quality potatoes and high yields are not secured from plants whose leaves are riddled by inaeets or infected with blights" Healthy green leaves are ab- solutely eaaential in tuberdevelop- ment and starch formation, CALCIUM ARSENATE P'OR , SUOS, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, leaf hoppers and plant lice are a few of the more common insects affecting the potato that can be 'eotitiolled'by spraying. Both the Colorado beetle and the flex beet'' -e' are leaf chewing insects and the injury that they do is generally recognized by growers, While the Colorado potato beetle or bug is familiar to every potato grow- er, the potato flea beetle is not so well known. This tiny black insect which about the size ofin ad` iso h s a head oats small round holes he the leaves, it is particularly, serious on early-po- tatoes arly po-tatoes and is generally most cemmpn in fields that are weedy or that are surrounded by weeds. For these two insects .aa well as other leaf chewing insects, Paris green, lead arsenate or calcium atsen- ate are the poisons most commonly used. Paris green is not as generally used aa itlevas a few, years ago; it does not stick to the foliage as well as the other poisons named and, it may cause a burning of the leaves, if applied without lime. • Calcium arsenate is now one of the best poisons for potato bugs, it is quite cheap, is quick acting and sticks well to the foliage. It should be used at the rate of three pounds to every 100 gallons of Bordeaux mixture.. If lead arsenate is used it should be combined with the Bordeaux mixture at the rate•of five pounds to one hun- dred gallons. Probably the most serious insect pestaffecting the potato is the leaf hopper. This small green insect Lives mostly on the undersides of the ieave3 and sucks the juice from the plant. -During .August and September, pota- to fields that have not been protected against this pest show a drying of the plants. The tips and margins of the leaves curl upwards and ,become black and brittle. This injury to the leaves may cut -the yield forty per cent, or more. The .most effective spray for leaf hoppers is homemade" Bordeaux made by dissolving four pounds of copper •sulphate—four pounds of stone limo or six pounds of hydrated line in fifty gallons of water. Detailed direction for making Bordeaux mixture when properly made and applied will keep the plants green throughout the/ season, and judging from the results of tests and demonstrations, will generally in- crease the yield' forty bushels or more per acre. In years when late blight occurs the use of Bordeaux will save on Making Spraying Efficient, MOORE, the potato crop,'" This fungeee :dist, ease attacks the leaves causing black, water -soaked spots. It spreads rapid- ly during cool, muggy weather caus- ing losses in some sections of Ontario nearly every. year. Early blight, another fungous dis- ease controlled by eIeraying with Bor- deaux mixture, attacks. the foliage. malting small dark spots en the leaves. Theo spots when closely ex -1 amined show concentric rings like a target. This disease is common every year and takes quite a heavy toll of the crop by injuring the leaves, thus lessening the yield. . Aside fibre controlling leaf hop-) ri 1 psis, early blight and.late blight, Box-, deaux mixture increases the effective - nese of whatever poison may be used for insects. It causes the poison to stick wel'1 to the leaf and it hasbeen+ found particularly effective when combined with calcium arsenate or arsenate of lead in controlling flea beetles, Every, growing giving e'er - us artertion to he potato crop should -use Bordeaux mixture°in every spray application. I Potato lice or aphids are serious in some seasons, they feed on the under- side of the leaves and on the growing tips of the stalks, At their first •ap- pearanee add one pint of forty per cent. nicotine sulphate to ono hundred gallons of Bordeaux mixture and spray so that all. -parts of the plant are covered with the spray. Obser- vations should be made for this in-• sect at frequent intervals and the nicotine spray ghouls be applied be- fore the lice cause the leaves to curl, men PRESSURE SPRAYERS FOR REST RESULTS. - The success from speaying depends upon its thoroughness and timeliness. It is necessary that all parts of the plant be covered with a thin film of the spray, To accomplish this a ma- chine that can maintain approximate- ly two'' hundred pounds pressure should be used; then the spray will be delivered in a fine mist that will envelop the whole plant. Slime, most insects and fungous diseases begin their attacks on the lower sides of the leaves, the spray boom should be equipped with three nozzles for each row—one directing the spray down - Ward to oover the top of the plant and the other two placed close to the ground on either side of the row and directing the spray toward the under sides of the leaves. Timeliness of applbcation is all im- portant. After late .blight or leaf hoppers have paused serious injury to the vines, but little good can be had from. spraying. The time to spray is before the damage is done. Generally the liner spray should be applied when the plants are %bout six inches high. Other applications should fellow at intervals of ten days or two .weeks throughout the season. In cases, however, where weather conditions aro favorable for late blight, it may be necessary to spray oftener. An Orchard Inventory. If the orchard Is'a going concern, a real business enterprise, we ought to go over it at least once a year and check up on it just ds carefully as the merchant does his stock of goods. In fact, in some ways this is more important with the orchard than with a store, for the merchant merely learns what, stock he has on hand, ;while the orchardist can discover many of his past mistakes and can decide what futurePo licies are de - Kimble in order to Improve ,the eat - knit. This inventory ought to be taken with pencil and paper in hand to make records and every tree should be ex - ambled in every part. Poe the next two` or three months this record can be made more effec- tively than et any other time in the year because the tree has completed its work for the year, the foliage and wood growth can be examined and the prop of fruit is on the trees where it onn be examined.• If one is to take such an inventory some sort of outline is desirable in order that he rimy not overlook any of the points that should be noted. To organize this spore -card effec- tively we may arrango•it mtder three general beads—first 'growth; second, pest control; third, pruning. And the answer to any "reasonable ' question that we may want to ask under any of these heads will be right before us en the trees. First, has the growth been^what it pltould?

But whatever the cause it uspally calls for drastic treatment. Another important point to check up in this -matter of pest control is scab.

This was the rhscue and conversion of a half-witted girl whonl. certain unscrupulous men employed to earn money for them by the telling of fortunes, From this life of degra- dation and sin St, Paul succeeded in. delivering her, bet se great was the. anger of her employers at Paul hav- ing interfered with their commercial interests that they dragged him r.•.d Silas beforethe-courts and instituted. proceedings against them. The pres- ent Leeson describes the results of these proceedings. 1. PAUL AND sILAS FLOODED AND IM- PRISONED A19-24. PRISO 1 -24 x T PHILI PI P 9 V. 19. The employers of the girl in their indignation at losing their pro- fits, set law at defiance, and brutually drag the missionaries with their own hands before the courts. Vs. 20 21. The law courts were organized on the Roman model= -since ?hill pi was a Roman colony the magistrates being known as prae- tors." The accusation brought be- fore them is that PaulendSilas are Jews and disturbers of the peace of the city, While the Jewish religion• was permitted. under Roman taw, any alleged breach of the peace was,- of course, an indictable offence, and in this case gave an outlet for the pre- vailing anti-Semitic' feeling. Paul and Silas are accused ofintroducing practices which are foreign .and con- trary to the Roman law of the colony. The real offence, of course, was that they had interfered with these men's business. Vs. 22-24, The sentence of the court was quite illegal as against a Roman; citizen like ,Paul. Under the influence of angry anti-Jewish feeling he and Silas are, condemned to the 'terrible punishment of flogging. The sen tench is carried out, and Paul and Silas were thereafter shut up in the inner prison, The jailer, who had been specially' instructed to keep them carefully under lock and, keys took the extraprecaution of fastening their, feet in the stocks. H. THE CQNVERSION OF THE PiiIMP- rimi JAILER, 26-34. V. 25. It was a queer place in which to raise the' voice of psalmody and prayer, but that night Paul, and Silas were praying and singing hymns. What a wonderful thing the•religion le which' enables broken and outraged men to give thanks to God in. a•prison- cell! Well might St. Paul afterwards writeto the Philippian Christians, and -say: Rejoice in the Lord al- ways, and again I say, rejeipel" •No wonder the other• prisoriers were lis- tening as Paul and Silas sang. They had never before heard the voice•of joy and gladness in a prison.. Vs. 26-28, That night there occur- red an earthquake at.Philippi--not a very uncommon thing in that part of the world. Locks, bolts, and.bars in the prison flew open, and the prison- ers rubbed their eyes to discover themselves free to. escape. But im- agine the consternation of the awak- ened wakened jailer. He feels it is all over with him, for the prisoners are gone. A hardened .and desperate man, and accustomed to acts of rviolence, he draws his sword, and is only, saved from suicide by eche appearance of Paul who, perceiving the man's in- tention, shouts, "Do'theself no harm; for we are all here," Vs, 29-30. This was too much for the jailer. . God had beenworking mightily on his soul, all that night. He had doubtless heard the prisoners singing. He wondered what they had to sing about, in a place like that. He' had no religion himself, no motive for fortitude or courage under conditions of suffering.

Is your family using freely the products of your cows, 1s your vege- tablegarden producing an abundance , of green stuff for your table? Have you a fruit patch worthy of the name?

They say the rising generation; does not work as much as preceding ones and does net assume responsibil- ity, Thera ie too much dins given ±0 pleasure, Fear is expressed that 80- ciety is headed for the bow -wows. But are we warranted in assuming any such thing Should we not mea- sure their position to -day by what they accomplish rather than by try- ing to compare them with the boys and girls of former days? Living conditions are much different, Our young people have much more leisure because they can accomplish so much more in a given length of time, They don't have to work long hours now to get v. mere living. And are they not contributing more to the prosper- ity of the country And the welfare of - society, not because they are more. willing but because they are able to do se under changed chan ed conditions? Farm boys are doing their part. Drive through the eountry and note the young boys doing farm work. They are operating machinery, bind ,ers, cultivators, hay loaders, tractors, biliking machines, etc. --'and accom ryiiishing more in a day than a boy or a man in the past could do in a week. 'A large part of the farm work is lie ing done by old men and boys with the help of machinery—and the boys. are usually the ones operating the machinery. Have no fear. The farm work of to -day brings responsibility and de- velops character. All boys, to be sure, will not turn out as you want them to. . They never did and prob- ably never will. But we can't be- lieve this easing up of toil for mere subsistence, this easier way of get-, ting a living, will send society to the bow -wows if this extra leisure is properly directed. GROW YOUR OWN VITAMINS The other day we went into a drug store and asked ' for a well-known vitamins preparation, and it was not carried in stock. The clerk was asked why. He said that when the public got to knoll the value of vitamines, drug manufactureajs -capitalized ton the popularity of the vitamine and make .commercial products which sold well for a while. But, soon the pub- lic learned that these great essentials of health could be taken more effec- tively in foods than in drugs and therefore, the vitamine product busi- ness went bad. e This vitamins matter is a sort of gar a tablespoonful of mustard, mix- ed smooth, half a cupful of brown sugar, a' teaspoonful each of powder- ed ginger and allspice and six cloves.
