DID YOU SPRAY YOUR TREES THIS SEASON?

If Results Were Not Good, Perhaps These Points Will Help You Another Year—By B. S. Pickett, Assistant in Pomology, Illinois.

For the man without the time or the inclination to study carefully the principles of the operation of spraying, the best spray to use at all times is a very fine mist, that will float through the trees like a fog, applied under a pressure of 126 to 160 pounds to the square inch. The orchardist who notes carefully the character of the various insects and fungous enemies which attack the apple crop, and studies the effect of different methods of applying spray mixtures, may vary this arbitrary recommendation to good advantage. Dormant tree sprays may be applied under very high pressures, as much as 200 pounds to the inch being an advantage. Applications of Bordeaux-Paris green mixture should be made at pressures of not over 125 pounds per square inch. When thrown with greater force, the small particles of gritty matter which Bordeaux mixture contains cannot fail to injure to some extent the skin of the apples and the foliage on the tree. The writer believes that, if Bordeaux mixture be applied alone, 100 pounds pressure is sufficient to secure a fine misty spray that will fall softly on the leaves and

Gasoline Sprayer in Operation in a of Tower and Canvas fruits, giving an even coating of Bordeaux, that the spray will not run together into drops as quickly as it would if the particles were driven together by a higher pressure. Arsenate of lead applied alone for the first brood of the codling moth, should be put on under high pressure, the higher the better up to 200 pounds. At this high pressure, the poison will be -driven through the rudiments of the stamen deep into the calyx cups of the young apples. Paris green applied with a small quantity of lime and very carefully strained through a ( fine sieve might also be applied at a high pressure, perhaps 150 to 175 pounds per square Inch, though the gritty particles of lime would endanger the skin of the apples and the foliage to some extent. Following the spraying for the first brood of codling moth, it may not be necessary or advisable to make any applications at pressures higher than 125 pounds. In deciding on the character of his sprajVtlie grower must also take into consideration the denseness of the foliage, the height of the trees, and the distances to which the spray must be thrown. It is customary to advise spraying until the surfaces of the leaves are coated with spray in the form of very line drops, discontinuing the operation just before the drops begin to run together and dripping from the foliage commences. In practice it is difficult *.to. .attain this ideal completely,, hut the more nearly it can be approached the better. Yet for the careful and

observant orchardist, variations from this treatment may be an advantage. In spraying dormant trees for San Jose scale, it is almost impossible to coat every twig and fork in the tree with lime-sulphur solution, unless the operation 1b continued until -there is more or less dripping from the trees. When to Spray.—The most effective spraying is preventive spraying. If the foliage and fruit be thoroughly coated with poison or fungicide before the first chewing insect or the first fungus spore light upon them, the Insect will be destroyed at its first meal and the first fungous infection will be prevented. When insectß or fungous diseases have become plentiful, both are more difficult to controL They multiply more and ever more rapidly. More of them will find unprotected spots on the foliage and fruit and secure not only one meal but several, if they be insects, or obtain a foot-hold from which to grow and spread, if they be fungi. The orchardist may, therefore,, accept the following as the first principle in regard to time of spraying: Spray to coat the foliage, twigs or fruit with poison or

Spraying has been found so universally profitable that it seems scarcely worth while to discuss its benefits. The ever increasing army of insect and fungous pests requires ever increasing vigilance and persistence in the application of preventive and remedial measures. The enormous increase in the area being planted with apple trees throughout every important apple growing region in the United States is resulting in an increasing production of this crop. The public taste is becoming more and more discriminating. Asa result of these factors in the orcharding business, the possibility of disposing of a poor grade of fruit is decreasing, at the same time that the actual amount of insect and fungous injured fruit is increasing. These self-same .conditions, however, create the opportunity lo make large profits by producing a high grade of fruit. A first-class grade of apples cannot be grown in a region such as Illinois, where insect and fungous pests are very prevalent, unless special precautions are taken to guard against them. Illinois prodiices certain varieties of apples of unsurpassed flavor and market value, when free from imperfections caused by insects aniUtiiseases. It will pay to grow perfect specimens of these varieties. „ Spraying is the most effective preventive of the damage ,liable to occur through attacks of fHese pests:

FORCED INTO EGYPT Jrrenlah the Prophet Drlsko Hli Cap of Sorrow to the Bitter Dreg*. BY THE "HIGHWAY AND BYWAY” PREACHER (Copyright, IMS, by Um Author, W. 8. Edson.) * Prophecies of Jeremiah.—They are not In chronological order, but seem to have been rearranged according to their subjects, viz: 1. Warning to tho Jews. 2. Survey of all nations, with a historical appendix. 3. Prediction of brighter days to come, with a similar appendix. 4. Prophecies regarding Egypt, The concluding chapters from 51:34 are supposed to have been compiled from the latter portions of 2 Kings, and may have been added by Ezra. Jeremiah was contemporary with Zephantah, Habakkuk, Ezekiel and Daniel. He foretold the precise date of the Captivity, the fate of Zedekiah, the return of the Jews from Babylon, and the decay of that city. Tradition credits him with burying the ark. He predicted the abrogation of the Law and the inauguration of a spiritual worship centering around a Christ. He pictured the blessings of the atonement, the call of, the Gentiles through the gospel, and the final acceptance of the Jews. Jeremiah has been called the weeping prophet because of his mournful prophecies over the fate of Jerusalem and the Jewish nation, but there is a note of triumph running all through, for his vision is clear and bright of a better future which gives to him as fully as to Isaiah the character of a prophet of the gospel. Scripture Authority—Jeremiah, chapters 42, 43.

SERMONETTE. After Nebuchadnezzar had stripped Jerusalem of her treasure, and had taken the best of the people captive to Babylon, he placed Gedaliah over the few who had been left to care for the land and dress the vineyards. A few months after this Ishmael formed a plot, murdered Gedaliah and assumed control, and then entered into an agreement to deliver all the people into the hands of the Ammonites. Johanan and a band of men who had escaped Ishmael’s murderous hand, boldly attacked the latter as he was on his way to the Ammonites, recovering the spoil and the people and returning with them to Jerusalem. Johanan then became governor over the city, and fearing the wrath of Nebuchadnezzar because of the things which had been happening at Jerusalem, he determined to flee into Egypt. But before doing so he and the people sought the advice of the Prophet Jeremiah, declaring solemnly: “We "will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee.” Ten days later Jeremiah brings them God’s message, commanding them to remain in Jerusalem and promising to protect and prosper them, but warning them that if they went into Egypt, they should perish by the sword, famine and pestilence. Then Johanan and the people repudiated the prophet, charging that he had spoken a lie and not God’s message, and forthwith they seized him and forced him to accompany them into Egypt. Such was the apparent reward for standing with God and speaking his message. Did it pay? Temporarily, perhaps, no. From the standpoint of eternity, yes. Hesitate, then, not? to speak God’s word, because you feel or know it will not be received. Speak it because it sis God’s truth, and must finally prevail.

To such there remains but one result. Human failure, and Divine judgment.

THE STORY. <n , HOU speakest fafsely!” I Like the keen blade of a knife the words cut through to the very depths of Jeremiah's heart. Silently, but with a look upon his face which told of the depth of agony which surged within, the prophet turned from the group of men standing before him and walked away. protest or pleading on his part were useless. It was very plain that Johanan, the governor of Jerusalem, and the band of men with him, had not wanted God’s message, but rather indorsement of the course which they had determined to follow, and when the ,word. of God had been directly counter to these plans, they had turned .upon The prophet, fiercely denouncing him as a false prophet, and declaring vehemently: “The Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, ‘Go not into Egypt to sojourn there.’ But Baruch, the son of Neriah, setteth thee on against us, forjto deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.” Tes days before the scene with which our story opens there had come to Jeremiah a deputation headed by Jobrman earnestly beseeching him

that he, the prophet, sheuld sedk the presence of their God and learn his will concerning the remnant which still remained In Jerusalem, And when he had assented to do this thing for them they hgd solemnly pledged to obey, saying: 4 ’ - “Whether It be good or evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that It j may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.” And with these reassuring words ringing in his ears, Jeremiah had withdrawn to a quiet retreat outside the walls of Jerusalem, whither he was wont secretly to go when desirous of perfect quiet, and undisturbed communion with God. There God had met him after he had spent ten days in earnest, agonizing prayer, and had revealed to him his purpose concerning those who still remained In the half-ruined city of Jerusalem. What was left of the beloved city of Zion should be preserved, If only those who still remained there would continue to abide in the city and trust God to deliver them from all harm and evil. How it had rejoiced the heart of the old prophet. How he had clung to the sacred place. When he had had the privilege of finding ease and safety under the friendly protection of Neb-uzar-adan, one of the chief captains of the Chaldean army, if he would only go to Babylon, he had chosen rather to return to Jerusalem and suffer privation and danger with the few who still remained there. How he had prayed and how he had worked to bring order out of chaos and cause the deep suffering and distress of the people to turn the hearts of the people back to God. And now God had given definite word that if the people would continue to abide in the land he would save them and deliver them from the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, whom they feared. Hopefully, therefore, Jeremiah had returned to Jerusalem, and having gathered together Johanan and his followers and the people, he plainly de>clared unto them all that God had said. And while Jeremiah had noted the disappointed look on the faces of the men before him as,he spoke, he was not prepared for the angry outburst and the brutal condemnation: “Thou speakest falsely!” And with these words ringing the death knell to all the hope he had had for better things for Jerusalem, Jeremiah turned and passed out of the city and slowly wended his way toward his retreat. Johanan and his followers watched him, but that bowed head and that form shaking with emotion brought no feeling of regret to their hearts, for only contemptuous sneers and angry looks were to be .seen upon their faces. At last when the prophet had passed out of sight they, too, turned, and, with an air of triumph, were soon busy perfecting their plans for the flight into Egypt, which had been definitely determined upon. “Be you sure,” spoke up one, “that Jeremiah will use his influence to dissuade the people from following you.” Johanan’s eye flashed and a sneer was upon his face as he exclaimed: _ “The narrow-minded reprobate! It would serve him right if he were left here to suffer the fate which he would have the people remain to endure. But he shall not. He shall go down into Egypt and eat his words concerning the evils which he has declared shall come upon us If we go thither. Evil! Why hath not Pharaoh given assurance of help and protection? But what have we to hope for here? Naught but privation and suffering and certain punishment at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar. Yea, Jeremiah shall go into Egypt, and he shall eat bread and water of affliction while we enjoy the bounty of Pharaoh’s goodness,” And Jeremiah in his retreat %as bowed low in prayer, and while Johanan and his followers were plotting he was pouring out hie griefstricken heart to God. that Gbd had spoken and that only evil could come to the people should they go down into Egypt. Oh„. that he might be able to turn them from their purpose. Oh, that the people would listen to him as he warned them against the folly of wlULjfr' hanan and his followers. -“WhytarryT - tiently, “when I should be lifting my voice, in Jerusalem?” And in obedience to the self-imposed challenge he arose immediately and went into the city. Later in the day word reached Johanan that Jeremiah had returned and was speaking to the people, urging them to hear the voice of God and go not down into Egypt. “Yea,” exclaimpd Johanan, vehemently, “this vei-y day the prophet himself shall start on his journey to Egypt, and there shall be a goodly company following him. Those who would follow him instead of me shall bear the brunt of the journey and shall go before us to open the way.” And, suiting his actions to his words, he hurried forth into the streets and was soon directing his men to seize the prophet and the people who, stood with him and to put them in fetters and start with them on the long journey to Egypt. “Into Egypt!” groaned the prophet, “Oh, God, as though thy people had not known suffering enough.” Then, lifting up his head and turning upon Johanan, he fiercely cried: “Ye dissembler!. Ye who sent me to inquire of the Lord and then wouldst not receive his word, know certainly that ya and those who follow you shall die by the sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.” "Enough, thou false prophet,” cried Johanan, as he motiowed to hia men .to move on with the prophet, “thoq shalt eat thine own words in the land whither thou shalt be carried.”

One day the Hubbite was going over with his wife a mass of useless papers that had accumulated in the household. They unearthed several large boxes full of love letters. After a hasty glance at them, the husband ■aid: “No use keeping this junk, I suppose? Hera it goes.” The wife was hurt. “Oh, Clarence,” exclaimed she, "how can you be so brutal? Surely you don’t want to destroy your own love letters to me?” “Well, keep ’em, if you want ’em," cheerfully assented the husband, “but honestly, Helen, these seem too soft to file!"—iippincott’s.
