out as a tackle, plaved end, then
half back, then fullback, and at
Oak Rld"e became a quarterback
In basketball he plaved ernwr and

Time To Think
Of Fruit Crop
County Agent Reminds of Sommer
Fruit Crop. Method of Spray
ing Peaches.
(R. IV. Shoffner, Cleveland Farm
Agent.)
Now is the time we should be
thinking of our fruit for the sum
mer. As you know’, if you do not
spray and spray at the right time,
you are not likely to have the very
best fruit. For your convenience I
am outlining a spraying schedule
here, the time of application, and
the material used.
The dormant season spray: Tills
spray should hove, been on before
this time. The spray following the
dormant spray is known as < he pink
spray. This spray should ne ipplied
when 75 percent of the petals, (the
nlnk part of the flower) have fa<leu
The next spray Is known ns the
"shucks” spray. This spray hould
be put on when the shucks are 75
percent shedded from the small
peach or when the peaches are
showing. For the next sprav thiuld
be two weeks after the “shuck”
spray. The next spray should be
four weeks before the variety is due
to ripen.
The material to use for these
spfays: For the pink spray, that is,
the first spray for our fruit, use on®
pound of powdered arsenic of lead,
plus four pounds of hydrated lime
with two or three pounds Of Muistld
sulphur with this to fifty gallons of
water. For the next spray, which Is
the "shucks" spray, use the same
mixture. For the next spray, use
the same mixture and also the last
spray, use the same mixture. In
case you do not find the water sol
uable sulphur, you can use st'uie
lime, three pounds to fifty gallons
of water with one pound of arsenic
of lead. This spray should lie done
as near the time as possible, o ne
sprays are for the curculio. which
punctures the small peach and
causes the drops. The spray ,s also
for the scab and brown rot and
other Insects that might be present
Tire application of the arsenic of
lead In this material Is very import
ant. nor further Information In re
gard to this spraying, see the coun
ty agent.
Spraying For Apples. ‘
The dormant spray should have
been on the trees by this time. The
next or second spray is known as the
pink spray. Tills spray should be ap
plied when the pink first shows in
the buds. For this spray use drv
lime sulphur and arsenic 't lend,
three pounds of dry lime sulphur
to one pound of arsenic of lead to
to fifty gallons of water. The next
spray should be when the petals
have fallen; use the same spray this
time. Two weeks later, use another
application of the same mixture;
three weeks later, use anoiher of
the same spray. Four week? later
use another application of the same
spray. You can also use the water
soluble sulphur for this spray as for
the peach. Always carry out the in
struction that you can find ■« the
paokage in which the material Is
packed.
