spray for potatoes county Agent Gives Directions For Fighting Bugs And Blight (By County Agent In reply to the inquiries which have come into this office concerning potato blight, it may be said that Bordeaux Mixture which can be made at home or purchased at most drug stores is effective in controlling the disease. For the small grower it is probably more economical, since only small amounts are needed, to use the ready mixed brands. For the larger grower, however, much expense can be saved by mixing the material at home. When proper precautions are taken, the homemade material will do the work Just as well or possibly better than the commercial forms. The following directions have been given for mixing the material: (Directions given for making 10 gallons of spray. For more or less spray, change amounts of material needed accordingly.) Dissolve 15 ounces copper sulphate (commonly known as “bluestone”- in one gallon of hot water. Dilute the solution to 5 gallons. Mix 30 ounces of good lime in 1 gallon of water. (An excess of lime will do no harm.) Add lime water to copper sulphate solution, stirring vigorously while doing so. Add sufficient water to make 10 gallons of spray. Test with yellow prussiate of potash solution. Spray is now ready for use. Cautions: 1. Use no metal containers. Copper sulphate is corrosive. 2. Make up only what spray will be used immediately. 3. Do not mix ingredients in concentrated form. 4. Test before using. Improperly made Bordeaux may burn fruit or foliage. Note: To make solution for testing Bordeaux, dissolve a few crystals yellow prussiate of potash in water. To make test add a few drops test solution to Bordeaux in white saucer. If a reddish-brown substance appears, more lime is needed in the Bordeaux; if none appears, Bordeaux is ready for use. It is advisable to add arsenate of lead at the rate of about one tablespoonful to the Bordeaux. This will prevent injury by the common “Potato bug.” GREAT PIANIST AT WINONA Josef Lhevinne, Eminent Russian, To Appear On July 27 Josef Lhevinne, the eminent Russian pianist, who appears in recital at Winona Lake, July 27th, has been called the “Giant of the Piano” and the "Titan of Technic and Tone,” because of his extraordinary qualifications in the domain of digital proficiency, dynamic control, poetic feeling. delicacy of touch, refinement of interpretation, tonal beauty, conception, power and intelligence which form a composite musiqianship almost unparalleled and which has com felled the unanimous verdict of the press as to his supreme mastery of the instrument. Special programs have been arranged for this season to synchronize with the desires of the music lovers of the country, based upon the same sincere endeavor to serve and advance the high ideals and purposes of musical art as has always marked the career of this master pianist. To hear this genius of the keyboard is a privilege, for whether as soloist with a great symphony orchestra or on the recital stage he is an irresistable vital force and always brings a message that is vital and universal in its appeal. —a Cross Stitch Cross stitch embroidery is used for wide bands on the bottoms of the new skirts of silk and wool frocks.

Charlie Abot is a whole show in himself. He's funny to the N'th degree. But there are others besides Charlie in the cast —the Marcus peaches, for instance, who are exceedingly pleasing to the eye. And then, too, there is the Golden Gate Four—a male quartet that produces some real harmony, and the Dancing Humphreys with their nimble feet. Their Apache dance is said to be particularly good. “The Impressions of 1923” will be at the Majestic all week, with a mattlnee on Saturday afternoon. o Winona Summer School Saturday, July 21st, has been designated as enrollment day for the second half of the summer term, by school officials.
