DON'T KILL THE BEES WITH APPLE SPRAYS Fruit growers generally recognize the importance of proper {cultural practice, correctly timed i sprays to control injurious in- | sects and diseases, and a full set lof blossoms. However, the ma- ! jerity probably do not realize the I equal importance of cross-polli-nation and the need of honeybees t for this all important work, according to C. O. Dirks of the En-1 t.niolugy Department. Purdue j University. School of Agriculture. Now that the trees hre beginning to blossom, fruit growlers should give cuns’deraLon to cross-pollination of flowers and the relation of spraying to killing of the bees and efficient disease and insect control. • I It has been demonstrated that I the calyx spray is not most ef-> fective when at least 80 per cent of the petal? have fallen. Spraying when the b’ossoms are in full bloom results in the bursting of the pollen grains, rendering them useless and in audition there will he a high mortality among the bees. Spraying when the flowers aie in full bloom is no more efficient than a later spraying When tii.- petals have fallen, 'lhe fruit .grower therefore should carefully avoid applying his spray when the flowers are in b'ossom. not only because it is not t'ne proper time t<> get results, but also because he should lie vitally interested in protecting the bees against disaster. Many orchard men have se- 1 cured greatly increased yields by giving attention to pollination Five collars a colony is frequently paid to have bees moved into the orchard during fruit bloom. A commercial apple orchard in Illinois attributes an increase of 14.00 Q barrels of fruit during one year to the use cf honey bees in the orchard. This increase was secured when surrounding orchards had only a fair crop. The bee’s body is clothed with many branched and forked hairs enabling it to gather and transfer pollen from one flower to another in its busy visits. This insect unHke other pollinators works only one kind df flower at a tune. It readily g«Ks from one variety of a fruit to another variety, but it does not visit first an apple blossom. then a pear and then a dandelion. This habit of carrying only one kind of pollen at a time increases its use as a pollinator because blossoms are fertile onlv to their own kind of pollen. This must usually be brought to the flower from some other tree of a different variety which the bee does as it flies from blossom to blossom.

The honey bee is especially rm- i portant to the orduuvknan in • ns that are r < iv and coo! during the bio ming ’ perjod. Othef insect polleniz rs under these conditions remain quiet in some sheltered place. The bee, , however, uses every favorable i’l moment and works industriously between showers, and besides is ( the only insect occurring in large numbers-early in the seison when the fruit trees are in flower. This factor often determines the success or failure of a fruit. o TO <i»XTEST WILL Action to contest the will of Thomas Hapner, who died March 9, 1927, at Syracuse, has been filed in the Kosciusko circuit court by Malinda Hapner. widow, and Mary Hapner Groves and Essly Hapner, chi dren, against Elbert L. Groves. Paul M. Hapner, Edward E. Hanner, Warren C. Hapner, Katherin Hapner and Frances Hapner. The will, which was presented at the clerk’s office for probate pn April 4. provided that the widow should have the income from a’d property her lifetime and at her death the property was to become a trust fund, the earnings of which should go to the two children Sksly Hapner and Mary Groves. In case of the death <rf the daughter the trust fund was to continue as a benefit to Essly and at his death the property was to go to the defendants named in the action. The instrument was dated March 1924. The plantiffs allege that the deceased. Thomas Hanner, was of unsound mind and that the wrill was unduly executed, obtained by fraud and was made under duress and numerous other allegations. o. .

GOOD FRIDAY SERVICE ' The churches of Syracuse will again unite in a Union Good Friday Service which will be held in the United Brethren church, Friday. April 15, beginning at 12:30. This custom has became an essential part in the church life of Syracuse and vicinity, and each church congregation is very Jgiad to have a share in the serv- • ice. The pastors cf the differjent Syracuse churches, assisted Iby J. H. Eider, of the Solomon's Creek United Brethren church will deliver the different addresses. which will be of twelve minuses duration. The singers l of the several churches are ask*! ed to form a large chorus to lead; in the singing. No special music |is being prepared, as it was ! thought best to have the devo- ; i tiunal hymns of the church sung by the congregation. Heretofoie the school authorities have cooperated. in a splendid way, with I the Ministerial association, and | the different grades have beeo, privileged to attend some part of the service, attending in a group I un er the direction of their! teachers. No doubt this custom wilt be followed again this year, lhe Ministerial association would be glad if all the business houses, as far as possible, would be closed during tne continuance of the service, and that every man. woman and child in Syracuse attend some part of the service. The special program g ven by the trades of the public school will be he!" immediately after the service in the church. Following is the program at the I B. church: Hymn—"ln the Cross of Christ I Glory.” Prayer. Scripture Lesson. Hymn—" The 01 d Rugged Cross." Address —“Father, forgive them,” J. H Royer. Hymn—" Alas, and did my Savior bleed.” Address —"Today shalt thou >e with me in Paradise," A. H. Arbaugh. Hymn—" Atonement.” Address—"My God! My God! Why hast Thus forsaken me?” Wm L. Eiler. ’ Hymn—“ When I survey the Wondrous Cross.” Address —“I thirst,” Floyd Hedges. Hymn—" Break thou the bread of life." Address “It is finished,” J. H. Elder. Hymn "The Way of the Cross.” Address-- "Into Thy hands I commend my spirit,” B. C. Earhart. Hymn - "Must Jesus bear the Cross alone?" Benediction.

On The French Riviera The Carnival at Nice (By Mrs. Amanda L. Xanders.) , No. 17

Every time King Carnival intended making a journey through his kingdom, the event was heralded early in the morning by a troop of horsemen, in red and white uniforms, with three cori ner hats and powdered wigs, carrying gay banners; they were : followed by mounted trumpetJ ers wearing scarlet and goto, uniforms. Now here, now there, the gay’ precession halted, while the Herald read the proclamation of the king, who in this colonial fashion, informed his subjects of his coming. His first appearance in 1927. with his retinue of followers, was the evening of at 8:30 o'clock. On my arrival in Nice, an army of workmen were busily engaged in giving the finishing touches to the elaborate decorations of the city on Place Massena and Avenue de la Victoire. to honor the annual coming of his majesty. Kmg Carnival. The Place Massena is two blocks and a half long and one block wide. Here quaint toy figures and all the animals of Noah's Ark, and miniature Chirstmas trees, all done electrically, formed a wide band in front of all the buildings, all around the Place, and joined all the streets, that when illuminated, made a brilliant blaze of color. Alternating every fifty feet on ■ach side of the Avenue, a distance of one mile, were arches, representing many sprays of gaily colored soap bubbles, blown across the avenue by boys; besides. loops, festoons and strings of thousands of deep golden electric lights lined the length of the avenue, ending in a Holland windmiH in motion, on Place Massena, when illuminated made the Avenue look like an endless tunnel of shining gold. It would be hard to imagine rtryvthing beautiful than that .glittering, dazzling Avenue of gold. « From the dense throng that hined the sidewa’ks and streets it looked as though not only all Nice, but all the foreign population were there. Half way down the Avenue we found a place of vantage.

The heralds and trumpeters led the procession, making a pathway for his majesty, who was perched in the center of a huge float, surrounded by every kind of play-thing, as this is a carnival of toys, from stiff, Wooden soldiers, to all the kind of toys Santa Claus carries in his pack Qiristmas eve. I acknowledge a feeling of disappointments when I saw- his Majesty, a grotesque figure erf a fat boy. made of some kind of decorated material, instead of a gorgeously arrayed, kingly looking. handsome man. Many of the floats carried their own bands. The float I liked best, was very high, with an immense Wheelbarrow on top, large enough to hold a band of twelve pieces, a large rooster Outlined in electric lights, and twenty young people, who danced to the carnival song, called “Coucou." The floats were nearly ail of them grotesque and full of gaily dressed young people, all keeping time with their feet, to the music of the bands. There were many groupes of twelve to eighteen walking masqueraders in the procession; they represented sunflowers, pipes, new’ moons, mule heads, dominoes. jacks in a box; an ostrich was followed by twelve large eggs, with chicks peeping out of the broken tops; high hatted giants, with faces front and back, blond straw hatted giants dressed in blue and white; colored men carrying ladders, their mouths wide open, and many others. There w’ere groups on horseback; men fancifully dressed, wore hats that were large, beautiful locusts; others with green bloomers and white puffed waists, wore on their heads tall silver vases, each one full of different colored paper flowers; the leader of a group of spiders was in the center of a large web; a group of girls cm horseback had large colored sea shells at their backs; they wore crowns of brilliants and a fan head-dress made of white ostrich feathers. The Queen of Shells stood in the een- ; ter of a small float, accompanied by several maids of honor. There . were many other funny individi' ual stunts that caused no end of

merriment wherever they went. On the Place Massena, facing the Municipal Casino, is the Royal Lodge, hung with huge purple velvet curtains, where his Majesty retired, after the parade, and where he deigns to renain between his public appearances, surrounded by his toys, nd potted blooming plants and palms, and here everv day he is ! 1 isited by hundreds of grownups I and children. The coming of King Carnival was an auspicious occasion for Nice, for now the hotels and pensions are crowded to overflowing and the sun shines every day. nd every one seems happy. Through the courtesy of the "Cornite des Fetes et des Sports ’ ; I received a compiinnentary season ticket to all the out door doings of the carnival. 1 acknow edge the kindness of the information bureau of the New York Herald, for not only suggesting to me, but for typing' a letter of application in French ; to the committee. On presenting. the letter, properly signed. I was | rold t to return the next day, or Sunday noon, February 13, as that afternoon at two o’clock. King] Carnival would make his sec-! ond appearance, with a’l “Chars. Cavalcades, and Mascarades,” competing for prizes, in line. It was also announced, there would be a battle of paper confetti, and >n the evening a general illumination. Directly after church services I walked from the Bou'evard Victor Hugo, to the offices of the committee, where I learned my application had been accepted, and I received a little book of tickets, a program of the Fetes, and a diagram showing the press reservations on Place Massena for alLthe parades and on Avenue de Verdun for the plaster confetti battles, and on Promenade des Anglaise for the bat-

ties of flowers. Blocks away the streets leading into Place Massena were fenced off and everywhere were uniformed officers, and asrthere were only four wfidely separated entrance places, it took nje quite a while to get through the crow’ds of peop’e everywhere, and though I tried an appeal to the courtesy of a few of the guards, without success, I finally found a soldier boy, admitting fantastic groups, who at the sight of lhe wrord, press, admitted me with them. Even then I had a long walk before I reached the platform reserved for the press, photographers and movie picture men. My seat gave me a fine view of the streets reserved for the parade. It was now’ 1:30. Men, women and children were crowding to find their places on the platforms. At two o’clock a cannon was fired; it w’as the signal for the procession to begin the march, over the closed-in spaces. All the Chars Cavalcades, and Masqueraders, in line, were surrounded and followed by more people in carnival costume than I ever dreamed of seeing at one time; it looked as though half the population of Nice were there, arrayed as clowns innumerable. peasant girls, Spanish bull fighters, flow’er girls, pirates, etc., etc., many of them took hands and danced in large circles, or running in a long line, drew the unwary into a circle, demanding a kiss as ransom for their release, then hurrying away to catch unsuspecting lovers and demanding they kiss each other in this public way, as ransom. All the bands kept playing over and over again, the carnival song, so catchy, I found myself keeping time to the music, with my feet, while I was fairly consumed with desire to join the happy, merry throng. There were loud speakers on the roof of the Municipal Casino, and in trees, so there was music all along the way. ' Never anywhere have I seen anything* like the spirit of innocent fun and happy childish play, entered into with so much zeal, nor such tireless energy displayed, for two hours and a half, when a second cannon was fired, and his Majesty and his subjects retired from the fray until 8:30 p. m. Strange that such a question should enter nay mind and repeat itself over and over again, as I sat fascinated by the scene, will heaven be anything like it? no envy, no hatred, no malice — only good will, apparently, reig,ned suprefne.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT — Review’ of Things by the Editor As He Sees Them oa the Surface. Grow With Syracuse The "boom" town is ever alluring to large numbers, in that it seemingly offers the opportunity to grow up with the place. To get in on the ground floor, so to speak, at first blush, prompts great numbers to meh to the new place, where they will find many others who had been attracted in the same manner. They seek their new r home with the avowed purpose of growing up with the town and that determination serves as an impetus for extra effort. If perchance the ambitions of its* founders are realized, those with that determination to grow writK the place will succeed, provided the determination is sincere and a proportionate amount of energy is displayed in their efforts. Have you grown with Syracuse; have you kept pace with its advancement and development? There has been no bocitn here, as that term is usually aoplied to ilie growth of the so-called ftnushroom cities that spring to life over night, only to fade away almost as quickly There has been however, a healthy, steady, wonderful growth and advancement here for the past ten years. Tr ue .here has been no stream of prospectors added to the normal growth to cause the population to increase as rapidly as has been the case in many other cities of this size. The growth in w-ealth and health has been phenomenal. The advancement in civic improvenenrs. its streets, schools, residences, factories is such that there is just cause for exceeding pride. There have been ami are now as great opportunities for success here as there are in those new or proposed boom towns. The opportunity to grow up with the place, to get in on the ground floor holds as good in Syracuse as the other places. If your desire to grow up with the city is real, there will be the accomplishment. If your d?sire to grow’ up with Syracuse has been sincere and the effort expended sufficient. you have grown up with it.

Syracuse is going to.continue to grow and develop. You may if you choose grow with it. When you do yours and the city’s growth wall be mutual. In just the proportion in which your aid is given in the advancement and development, will the return be by the city. Ambition for fame ami glory has played a marvelous part in ths world’s progress. It has been the incentive to tremendous effort to overcome selfish opposition in every phase of life. In spite of an apple a day and various other modem methods of avoiding illness the business of doctors and undertakers keeps pace with the increase of population. It is quite possible to overpraise one who is not big enough to handle it. but it is always possible to harm and discourage by giving.; not praise at all. ’ The song of the skirt and the taxi is the same only spelled differently. One is “hire” and the other “higher.” A woman pays sls for a permanent w’ave, while a man gets a permanent bald spot for nothing. Some men w*ho stand, on their dignity give evidence of not having much else to stand on. Many a man falls into debt, but the process df getting out is usually one <rf crawling. Ami now girls are staring at airships under the delusion that they are mail-planes. Anyway talking movies may put an end to the gabble in the back seat. AU the world loves a lover—except the sweet young thing's father. Scenetimes a Abating indebtedness gets heavy enough to sink. She may not be handsame but she can dress out of sight.
