Don't Confuse Insecticides and
: Fungicides. -
I AM afraid since arsenate of lead
has been introduced, that the peo
ple will use it entirely instead of the
old Bordeaux, losing sight of. the fact
that it is the only thing, that will keep
down grape-rot or; black rot. Be
sides the fjuit often requires it for
fungous diseases as -well as for car
rying the Paris green for the codling
moth. I can't believe that the arsen
ate of . lead will break down apple
scab either; but we know that Bor
deaux will. I think that where we
have to. spray for canker or scab, in
an old orchard for instance, there is
nothing that will take the place of
Bordeaux. However, I shall use
some Bordeaux on my grapes and ar
senate on the fruit trees, using Bor
deaux wherever there is danger of
canker or apple scab.

May Poultry Notes.
KEEP the little chicks confined
mornings until' the grass be
comes dry. May dews kill lots of
promising youngsters. :
'
Remove all the young stock; large
enough to free range this month. A
small colony house for them to roost
in will be all the house necessary.
They will require watching for a few
nights until they have learned to go
in the house of their own accord.
For feeding the growing stock jm
range I use a grain mixture of equal
parts wheat, corn and.'oatp- for night
and morning feedings and a day
'mash composed 'of two parts wheat
bran, one part corn meal and one
part middlings, for noon feeding.
This mash is placed in hoppers
which are open the afternoon only.

Comment by Prof. Massey. Lead
arsenate is not used., by anyone in
the place of Bordeaux, and it is not
intended as a fungicide, but as an in
secticide. Of course, therefore, it
cannot take the place of bluestone
and lime. But it can be used more
safely to the foliage in the Bordeaux
than Paris green, and for all pur
poses for which Paris green is used
the lead arsenate will answer as
well and make a safe application. '
You want to produce your winter
layers from: this spring's chicks and
to do this," you should be careful in

is where my garden fence gives good
results; (serves keeping out the
chickens.) Even before I get the
garden peas off the fence, I set plants
two feet apart, right in or beside the
pea row. As soon as peas are off, let
the tomatoes run up on fence, which
makes an ideal support. They will
continue to bear until .jack frost
calls a halt. Of course, you will
have occasionally to train the vinea
through the spaces in the wires.
I also plant out in the open ground,
generally between the onion rows,
which will soon be taken up, I put
plants two to 2 feet apart, I sup
port them by driving stakes on each
side of row, about five to six feet
apart, so as to take a four-foot

inches above ground, fasten the wire

And I want to say the North Caro

and' perhaps superior in some to. the
people of my own State with the ex
ception of agricultural knowledge
and interest. If you North. Carolina
folks could see vus farmers in West
Virginia plowing over little ; hillside
patches from six; to ten inches deep
with two and sometimes three and in
extreme cases four horse teams, and
using all sorts of two to four-horse
implements on ground which ypu

I think to make North Carolina one
