° W<sfc®^ 0 SPRAY APPLE TREE FOR OYSTER SHELL The oyster shell scale is one of the I most common of scale insects that ■ work on neglected apple trees. Most . of the unsprayed farm orchards are i infested to some extent by this pest, I says the lowa Homestead. It is found : on most of the common orchard trees i as well as on many shrubs. The scale is about one-eighth inch ; long, rather dark in color but under a magnifying glass very much resem- ; bles an oyster shell, hence the name. The scale lives over the dormant ■ period in the egg state. During the dormant season the eggs can readilv ■ be detect-'* by lifting the scale with the point of a knife blade. Only a small percentage of the scale will carry the eggs. These hatch out early in spring, about the time the trees i begin to break into blossom. At this time the insect is active, but, soon attaches itself permanently to the twig. Control methods are simple and effective. If the infestation is seen, spray the trees in the late sprint bee fore the buds unfold. -One can use lime-sulphur wash at the rate of one gallon to eight gallons of water made from liquid lime-sulphur, or dry limesulphur, three pounds to ten gallons of water. A thorough job of spraying must be done. See that the train trunk and branches are covered with the spray mixture. If one prefers to do so a spray mixture made from 'crucible oil. one gal- ■ lon of the spray oil to twenty gallons of water can he used. One application is not sufficient to control the scale entirely but Continued applications of lime-sulphur during the sumI mer months will hold them in cheek. ' It may be necessary to put on a secj ond dormant spray the following year, i after which time tig?re will be very | few left. | When Planting Trees g ; S Don’t let the 'sun. drying g o winds, or frosts at the roots. g x Prune any broken or injured X § roots with a sharp knife. a Dig the holes big enough for X § all the roots without cramping g 5 them. 5 g Plant in fine loam, enriched g 5 with well-rotted manure. g Don’t let green unrotted ma- S S nure come in contact with the a 2 roots.

Where no attempt is made to check these pests by spraying, the fruit of Opata and Sapa are often infested to such an extent as to be almost worthless for family use; while later ripening varieties of the pure plum may be almost as badly damaged by the gouger. Varieties Susceptible to Fire Blight Disease Some varieties of pears and apples may be unusually susceptible to fire blight. Where this is true, the diseased wood and cankered areas on the limbs and trunk should be removed during each dormant season. If this clean-up work is done each year, the source of infection of fire blight will be largely eliminated. With apples and pears which are susceptible to fire blight, it is best to nave as many scaffold limbs as possible, so that if one becomes girdled near its base by a fire blight canker, it may be removed without the loss of too much of the bearing surface of the tree. Time to Spray It is probably or some better to put on two rarculio sprays, but one good spray seems to give satisfactory results. If two sprays are used the first one should be put on as early as possible. That would be when most of the shucks have split, but before a large per cent have dropped off. If only one spray is used, it should be l applied a little later, when about onethird to one-half of the shucks are off. This curculio spray is very important, and should not be neglected. Arsenate of Lead Arsenate of lead is the chief insecticide used for the control of all • chewing insects that trouble the grape. , Vines sprayed with it rarely show a trace of arsenic at the time of fruit maturity. It is suspected that the marks showing on the grape berries are due to the burning effect of the lime-sulphur. This should never ; be used on grape foliage nor should it ' ever be brought in contact with the berries. It is believed that this fruit i can tie eaten without inlnry.

FLOWER AND FEATHER TOQUES; ONE-SIDE CAPE SPRING NOTZ lr W "V t J

OACK to the truly feminine! It U is a fact proclaimed at every ; .’urn in fashion’s lane. Frocks with a soft silhouette, shoes that K are colorful, jewelry frankly ori nate. scarfs and other accessories r>f the gayest. To tune in with the enchanting spring song of fashion, hats cannot be otherwise than flowery and feathery, laceladen and beribboned, and of flattering becomingness. All of which they are.' There’s for instance, the flower toques and the feather toques over which Paris raves this spring. They i bespeak none other than the trul v feminine. Highly finished leaves in multi-foli-age colorings were used in creating the attractive toque shown first in this picture. Which reminds one that a season is predicted of very shiny straws, lacquered flowers and glossy leaves, also many ribbons of cire fin ish. Little berries, both red and white, combine with highly glossed leaves to achieve the charm expressed in the toque centered to the left. The model below to the right is typical of the new millinery trend. It crowns a wide band of black milan straw with wee fiat blossoms. Grosgrain ribbon is piaited and folded in novel manner to form a side trim The pretty custom of wearing a boutonniere repeating the flowers of one’s hat is observed iif this instance. Milliners everywhere are now selling costume bouquets to match the hat. Just to show the type of feather toques which are the fashion both heye and abroad, we call attention to the exquisite model which lovely

Give Touch of Color to Spring Mode. Etheiyn Claire of Hollywood is wear ing this spring. This picture might well be called “a study in white.” for Miss ,Claire’s knitted sweater dress, her fox neckpiece and her immaculate gloves are also snowy white. Capes have been a long time on the way, but that they have at last “arrived” there is no doubt. The majority of coats now have a cape accompaniment, the same either an nexed by clever clip fastenings or buttons making it detachable, or actually incorporated into the very making of the wrap. i As to the creating of capes there is no end. They are of every genre from knee-deep or hip or shoulder length circulars, to floating effects merely caught at some point or other at the neckline, their mission being merely to add a picturesque note to the costume. Some designers advance the theory

High Collar Is Coming Into Revived Fashion One may high-hat one’s friends but it now is fashionable to high-collar one’s enemies. Th? high collar is coming into renewed vogue and those who wear it have what they consider »v £e ,a ntage over their bare-throat-ed sisters. The collars are always of the same material as the dress and are fastened in the back, where <he long ends of the collar are tied in a bow and hang down the shoulders.

More Noveltie* in Spring Hats. that half-a-cape is better than no cape at all. Proceeding along this line of thought they are evolving models which fascinate because of their novelty and charm. It is a half-cape, or more properly speaking in the style parlance of the moment, a one-side cape which is given an arresting interpretation tn this picture. This stunning beige kasha model displays a detachable half-cape thrown over the left shoulder. It is lined with black satin piatched to that of the throw-collar scarf. The coat is very attractive worn without its cape. The lining of the coat is of beige crepe exactly matched in shade to the kasha. One really cannot evade the cape question and be stylish this season. As to that no one wants to sidestep these new capes, for they are adding a debonair picturesqueness to the mode, which is bringing an entirely new phase into the realm of coat design. After viewing dresses and coats more or less caped, one is tempted t«» ask. When is a Tape a cape? or to put forth some query as vague. Truth is, capes are quite bewildering. Many are merely cleverly suggested through

V

capelets or by large jabots that can be adjusted to indicate a cape. in some of the very select cloth coats a cape dangles a point to one side which is intriguingly balanced al the opposite side by the pointed hemline of the coat itself. The shouldet cape effects are very smart also. Capes proper have adopted an excellent feature, namely, that of fitted shoulder lines, so that the cape keeps in position even if not tied or fastened.

Ensembles of One Color Do you wonder whether the ensemble costumes for spring will match strictly throughout, from head to feet? You will find that they are more likely to blend several tones of one color from hat to shoes, for this ensemble idea proves more smartly interesting. Evening Wraps A wide, flaring sleeve section extending almost the full length of the coat, is a recurrent feature in evening wrap

RADIO

More Drastic Policy to Be Enforced by Board The federal radio commission plans, to insist on a closer adherence by ! broadcasting stations to their assigned.’ frequencies. In a letter to station owners and operators of his district, Harold A. Lafount of Utah, representative of the Far West, reveals the intention of the. commission to keep a stricter cheek on. frequencies. ■ , “It is probable that every station will be required to purchase such equipment as will, in the opinion of the commission, enable it to operate on its assigned frequency.” Mr. Lafount declares. “Licenses will be im-. mediately revoked if General Order No. 7, which prohibits a deviation of more than one-half kilocycle, is violated.” — Although the commission has received many complaints of interfer-' ence caused by stations wandering from their assigned channels, it has been disposed to treat the offenders with leniency because of the meehani-; cal difficulty of maintaining frequem-v. With the recent development of devices for transmitter control and the} increased necessity of maximum utilization of the available wave lengths, a more drastic policy will be adopted.; Declaring that he sees no possibili‘y. of broadcasters obtaining licenses for, a longer period than 60 days during the next year. Commissioner Lafount. says he appreciates that in all otdinary businesses merit is usually rewarded and the possibilities for growth and development are virtually limitless. “Unfortunately, that is not the case in the broadcasting field because of the limited number of ether channels most of which are overcrowded now.” Mr. Lafount said. “Under the circumstances, despite the fine work broadcasters may do or ambitious plans they may have for expansion, the commission will be unable to show its appreciation of the public by offering them more power and better wave lengths. While some of the old stations have been given considerable latitude in the past; she time has come when they cannot expand further and some of them may be restricted. “1 favor a mere equitable distribution of stations among states, but it is a hard problem, owing to the lack of program talent and station facilities in a number of states. For that reason chain programs are availablein sparsely settled states.” Defective Phone Cords May Be Cause of Static Much of the so-called “static” ju a set is due to defective phone cords. Speaker cords are made of many strands of tinsel, each strand of tinsel being composed of a very fine copper wire twisted with a piece of cotton thread. The whole assembly of tinsel wires is covered by woven cotton or silk braid. Sometimes rhe strands become broken in places and any movement of the cord will cause a scratching soumL, in the speaker. Such a noise will be located wluen the cord is shaken. As a protection against such trouble, a loud speaker cord with rubber-covered tinsel should be used. The rubber covering prevents any such saturation -.as occurs-, in cotton-covered tinsel. Externally the rubber-coveted tinsel apt»ears the same as the cotton tinsel, both being inclosed with a silk or cotton outer* braid. Crystal and Tube Set May Use Same Aerial The Loomis Radio college says that It is possible t<> hook a crystal set- to- A the same aerial as a tube set and have both sets brjng to signals satisfactorily. The best way to do this is to hook the tube set up as usual, and then take the antenna wire from the antenna binding post of the crystal set and wind it tightly around the antenna wire above the point at which it is connected to the tube set. The wires should, of course, be electrically insulated from each other. Make untight twist of as many turns as you can get into a space about three inches long. , This conveys the signals to the crystal s«t by induction. Each set should use a separate ground wire, but the. firm! earth connection may be the same. New Speaker Developed A roue speaker, small in size and using a driving system similar to that in larger types, has been developed. The speaker, described as having a natural tone, is inches in diam- ! eter and is designed to overcome many of the obstacles in the way ot. quality reproduction Keep Set Free From Dust A well-dusted receiver Is not only a mark of neatness, but adds to its operating efficiency. Dust, if allowed to accumulate, may absorb a certain amount of moisture, forming high re- ! sistance leakage in various parts of the set Esthonia’s Small Station The broadcasting station of Tatliwn, in Esthonia. probably possesses the smallest clientele in the world.; having fewer than 1,900 subscribers. Os these about one-half are tn thecity of Revel, and the remainder are in the surrounding country. Battery Charging It Is better to charge the “A” battery after a concert in preparation for the next one than to do so just before the concert. The gassing of the battery just prior to its use Is likely to occasion unwelcome noises tn the set. A dry battery, when shorted, will cause the wax on top of the cells to melt
