t I TH JVfORNING HERALD, DECEMBER 5, 1915 ...... . . . . Dovn Goes the Price ON SUITS, COATS AND DRESSES. Regardless of former prices. Never in the history of bur business career have we ever offered suc good values. We are determined to dispose of every suit in our store between now and Christmas. As it is the policy of this store not to carry over any suits or dresses from one season to another. No out-of-date styles to offer at any price, but fresh, clean merchan dise this season's styles at prices that cannot be equalled elsewhere. We have made a fair profit in our business this season and now we are willing to dispose of what suits we have, even at cost!

It Is natural to the tree and needs no attention except to- distinguish it from the true.foliglKed areas. In working out bad eases of blight, particularly on the collars, bodies, or larger branches where there la con siderable live blight in the thick fleshy bark, it Is a good plan; after do-. Ing the work" thoroughly, to mark such a case by tying a strip of cot ton cloth around the", body or branch to distinguish it from the nonvirulent cases, then three or four days to a week later with a gouge or sharp knife retrlnv the margins to make sure that you , worked beyond the 'blight at all points. The bark will discolor naturally, so that this blight can not be detected without retrim ing. If any of the blight were left it is thus given an opportunity to dis color further the bark and show it self. This works better in warm weather than in cold weather. Having cleaned up the blight thor oughly in the fall, when dealing with bad outbreaks it is a good plan to go over the orchard tree by tree and inspect in early spring when the buds are swelling, . but well ahead of the blossoming period, to make sure that no cases escaped. A bit of gummy exudate will, of course, immediately lead to examination with a knife and gouge. Carry the kit of tools and dis infect and be prepared for further work on such cases. Occasionally a suspicious-looking case may be par tially or completely retrimmed, 'as above suggested. PAINTING WOUNna In the autumn, after the wounds or eradication scars are made, disinfect ed, and perhaps reinspected when deemed necessary, the exposed area of wood, especially if one inch or more in diameter, should be painted ' for protection, as incase of pruning and other wounds. Since many of these areas may be large, it is important to give this wound treatment. Va rious materials are available, such as white-lead paint, liquid grafting wax, coal tar, or a mixture of three -fourths to two-thirds coal tar and one -fourth to one-third creosote oil, all to be ap plied With a stiff brush. Liquid graft ing wax is somewhat expensive and often requires warming, so that it is not usually preferred. Coal tar, while cheap, requires warming, and is therefore difficult to apply. The de partment experts have ,used for this purpose mainly white -lead paint (made rather thick, and preferably given a second coat) or the coal-tar oreosoteifaiixtnre; K- White lead paint has some advan tages. It is readily obtained and applied! and if any of the gummy exudate, which is more or less red dish or brownish in color, flows from an imperfectly worked case, it is readily detected on the white surface. On the other hand, this point has proven a disappointment to the de partment and experiment station pathologists in that it frequently has not preserved the wood from decay. It is rather too mild a disinfectant. The wood cracks, lets in water and fungus spores, and frequently after three or four years and before large wounds have healed wood-rot fungi have entered and decayed the wood under the paint. Even though ap plied to the wounds when they are dry, the sap pressure, even in the autumn, often lifts the paint from the surface' of the wound, particu larly in the case of scars on the ends of the branches. The coal-tar creosote oil mixture is not open to these objections and for these reasons is rather prefera ble. It is used very commonly and successfully on shade trees, and while there is still some question about its use on fruit trees, it has given good results on pears and ap ples, even though the healing from the margin does not proceed quite as rapidly and smoothly as with the lead- paint The coal-tar creosote -oil mixture is a powerful disinfectant, penetrates the wood to some extent, and is both a disinfectant and a wa terproof coating. If made too thin it penetrates rather too deeply and does not answer fully for waterproof ing. It made too tnicn it is noi con venient to apply. In cold weather slight warming is sometimes useful, but with a stiff brush under ordinary conditions it works well. It has a tendency to kill the wood under the cambium slightly and sometimes to kill back a little, but it does not kill the edges of the bark to any serious extent. This mixture is best ap plied immediately after making the cut, or at any rate as soon as possi ble after inspecting the Wounds. It sticks well even though the cut sur face on the end of a branch is still some what, moist when it is applied. Pear blight eradication is qwite a careful piece of work. It requires close attention on the part of the or- v.uct. v. " v v. - - - - rt I help who may bjvfuagHl liTTT KW-f member thajxtnoroughness is essen tial for success. It is not necessary to determine in all cases whether the blight is alive or dead on the j lower margin, although somewhat ! ; helpful as a guide in determining bow ' low to go. In actual practice it is , better to cut all the dead limbs and ; all the blight anyhow, regardless of , j whether it i a dead case or not. The blight eradication should always 'precede the pruning. Other pruning' 1 for skaping up the trees may be done, ! if. preferred, before leaving the tree. , 'it may be postponed until some con- , xenieot time later, but of course, be-1 jfore the tods pna in th rpring. I APPLE CAXKER3. various parts of ,the United . States. Occasionally , two or more kinds may occur on the same tree. They are caused by fungi growing compara tively slowly in the bark and killing it. They often enter in the twigs, fruit .spurs, or blighted areas killed by pear blight, but may infect en tirely independent of these sources. Frequently locust scars, pruning wounds, or. other, injuries furnish the point of entry, but some kinds of cankers infect directly into Jhe bark. The blister canker, common in the middle west is particularly severe after winter killing or after the trees are weakened By extended droughts. The particular kind or species of ap ple canker may be determined by the grower by sending a sample, prefer ably the whole area of a small canker or a section of the limb showing the margin,; toy the department of agri culture or1. the nearest state experi ment station. It is not absolutely necessary in most cases to identify the species, since the treatment, as far as worked out, is essentially the same. . The principal method of controlling apple cankers is identical with pear blight, as described above. Where the canker is located on a branch or limb which can readily be spared, and especially if it reaches half or nearly half way around the limb, it is best to saw the limb off, cutting six inches to a foot below the lowest evi dence of disease, then distinfect and paint or apply the coal-tar creosote -oil wound paint. Cankers located on a large branch which can not readily be spared or on the body of the tree may toe eradicated and trim med out exactly as described above for pear blight areas, using the same methods and preferably the coal-tar creosote-oil wound treatment imme diately on finishing, the scar. Cankers do not require the prompt reinspection and retrimming as in virulent pear blight cases, but it is a good practice to look them over the Ifollowing spring and again Jn tdie fall, and rework them or saw off the branch if an occasional failure has resulted. Some cankers behave rath er differently from pear blight in that they check up during the growing pe riod of spring and summer and the tree attempts to heal them over, then in the fall and , winter the canker spreads again, killing the margin of the new growth. This is frequently repeated several times as the canker enlarges. Such old cases are rather mean to work on and usually, though not alwaysT"demand the" reniovalo" the branch. In every bad outbreak of apple can ker, fall spraying with rather thick bordeaux mixture, at least as strong as 5r5-50, is advisable. This treat ment, is not usually necessary in most apple districts of the United States, but if the grower is having a real fight against apple cankers, the fall eradication should be made rather promptly as soon as the leaves are off, and the whole orchard should be sprayed with this mixture. This pro tects the tree against most of the reflections in the bark and proba bly kills the spores on the surface of the wood and possibly many minor or incipient cankers. A FINE WINE YEAR. More of It and Better Quality Pro duced by the Germans. Berlin. Dec. 4. The wine growers of the Rhine district have had a better harvest this year than in a quarter of a century. The ine is not only plen tiful, but also of exquisite quality and brings high prices. The vintage has been named after Field Marshal von Hindenbure and there is no doubt that "Hindenburg wine" will bring a big rice in two or three years. SHORT ON COLORS. Fashionable Women Will Have to Do With Less Tones. London. Dec. 4. The fashion ex perts say that the colors available for women's wear are about fifty tones short this season. This shows the number of colors in ordinary times, for a wide range is to be seen now in show rooms. Some of the smallest dressmaking houses are paying atten tion to pastel tints, and, for indoor toilettes, there is a little run on neach and apricot, soft orchid tints and putty tones, the paler greens and oloudv blues. More and more grey is to be seen, chiefly for street wear, and of the shades peculiar to the season, there are half a dozen at least, in cluding that wartime product of the dyer's art "75" the color named af ter the famous French gun. Warm browns and bronze browns are also very much in vogue.
