PYROIL PROCESSED Motors, machinery and equipment yield profits. Write Paul H. Obst. Box 824, Newport News. 3 growers of pears, quinces, and apples show that applications of zinc chloride in combination with other chemicals will control the serious bacterial disease known as fire blight.

Tha mixture is applied as a disinfectant to Infected pears. In spraying crops, flowers, it Is well to remember just what you are spraying for. If you find plants being eaten by some bug or bettle, you should use a poison such as ar-. senate of lead of barium fluorsllicate. The poison must be eaten to kill.

For bacterial trouble such as mildew, rust, leaf-curl, a fungicide must be used. Bordeaux mixture is a good fungicide; flowers of sulphur is good for most flowers with bacterial troubles. Some fungicides on fruits are better than others; Bordeaux mixture is used mostly on grapes for black rot and on apples for bitter rot, while peaches and plums self -boiled lime sulphur sprays are best. Next come the aphis or plant-llce which do not eat, but suck plants. A spray must be used in the heat of the day when the sun is out, to suffocate the insect some such spray as nicotine, which must come In contact with the aphis.

Spraying is exacting and must be done right to be effective; so be sure you are right before spending money and net getting results. A weak, sickly plant will have more trouble than a "well" one, so fertilize well and keep plants growing. A great deal of boxwood trouble is being reported to me. On examining the plants and soils I find, in most cases, that the plants are being starved for want of plant food. Apply liberal quantities of 6-6-5 fertilizer and work it into the soil around the boxwood.

This will give new life and encourage new growth. Apply fertilizer every year In the spring or summer; if the weather is dry water after fertilizer is applied. Keep red spiders off the plants also by dusting flowers of sulphur well on the plants during the heat of the day when the are dry. At this time it Is also well to keep Building and Contracting 4 Last Survivor of Lee Staff Pronounces Benediction At Bruton Church (WILLIAMSBURO BUREAU) Major Giles Buckner Cooke, the last man living of the staff of Robert E. Lee, general of the Confederate army, observed his 96th birthday in Williamsburg yesterday.

A special guest at morning services at historic Bruton Parish Church, Major Cooke a chaplain in the army of the Confederacy pronounced the benediction. Services were conducted by the Rt A. C. Thomson, bishop of Southern Virginia. The old Episcopal church was packed.

Major Cooke was to spend last night as a guert of friends In Williamsburg before returning to his home at Mathews Courthouse. Major Cooke great-grandfather, the Rev. John Bracken, was for many years president of William and Mary College. A member of a well known Virginia Major Cooke was born in Portsmouth, May 13, 1838, and graduated from Virginia Military Institute In 1859. He studied law for several years before the outbreak of hostiliti'-s between the North and South.

He volunteered at the opening of the war and was appointed to the staff of Gen Phillip St. George Coke as a first lieutenant. After several transfers he was appointed to the staff of General Lee in 1864 as assistant adjutant and Inspector general, with the rank of general. He was wounded near Appomattox but was present at the surrender with other members of the staff when the Southern forces laj down their arms. Major Cooke entered the Episcopal ministry after the war.

From 1904 to 1915 he was rector of Kingston Parish Church, Mathews County. Since then he has been retired, remaining except for occasional brief visits, at hia home In Mathews. Major Cooke, despite his 96th years, remains surprisingly healthy and vigorous, members of his family say. been planted and see lor yourself what a great crop It makes. Kobe is the best variety for this section, as it makes more hay and better pasture.

Korean is second Stick to either of these 'and be successful. Lespedeza is doing more for the Peninsula farmers than any other one crop. Frequent Inquiries have come to me asking about side dressing to replace part of the nitrogen which has been bleached from soils by heavy rains during the spring. The heavy rains have leached considerable nitrogen from the soils, which prevented potatoes, spinach, beets, from growing rapidly. A great real of the nitrogen has been worked too deep and the roots cannot feed.

It is recommended that 150 to 200 pounds per acre of a mixture of nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia be applied as top dressing. This la four or five pounds to 100 yards. Do not touch foliage with the fertilizer at any time as It will burn. It is time to plant corn now, and before you plant fields and go to this expense be sure and test the corn to see if It germinates well. Don't plant and have only half come up.

Be sure of your seed before planting. Too many missing hills is what cuts Into your corn crop. After you are sure of the seed being good, treating seeo should help In giving a better stand. It protects the seed from decay, and the seedlings from blights and root rot caused by fungi living In the soil. For seed treatment see the county agent.

Young plants that you have watched growing will soon be cut down by cutworms here and there. Succulent crops such as tomatoes, celery, cabbage, are often damaged by various types of cutworms. The use of poisonous baits Is the practical method of control of these worms. A practical bait can be prepared by mixing about 25 pounds of red bran with one pound of arsenate of lead or paris green, sweetened with cheap molasses, then dampened with about four gallons of water and distributed In the field near plants just before darkness.

Thompson hai received a letter from the United Wool Growers Association, a cooperative wool marketing organization asking the local cooperation In marketing the local product. The letter cites higher prices that have been available through this cooperative movement. The letter reads as follows: "Our information from Boston and abroad Indicates very strongly that the price of wool will be, to say the least, as good aa 1933, and we believe somewhat better, "This organization is better prepared than ever before to merchandise your wool, largely because we have no carry-over to speak of in the United States, and practically al! wool has been sold that is controlled by the national organization which is our sales agency. AU the wools of the United States that were shipped to Boston were paid for In November. All wools sold on direct sales wen; paid for in full at the tune of loading.

"Many, of you county agents will recall tha when we had a price of 30 cents per pound In May, that wool were selling In some parta of Virginia as low as 10 cents, with quite a heavy tonnage seling at IS cents. Twenty-five cents was the extreme top price offered in other sections until after we came out with our'jrtce of 30 cents. I think this is something that we may ask the growers to consider who might be tempted to sell their wools to some cheap wool buyer before the season really starts. view of the fact that this organization handled 862.000 pounds of wool in 1933, and with the outlook very favorable for a greatly increased tonnage this year, we are confident that we can secure a better price for the producers than they could possibly secure in any other way.

Royal and Goodrich SUvertown, Drap o' Something Legal Seems Far in the Future In This Section (Gloucester-Mathews Bureau) With the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board planning a fight against the bootlegger with whiskey to be sold at around 75 cents a pint, starting In Richmond next week and other larger cities soon, the other counties still are under the reign of the Illicit dealers and as yet there has been no hope of a change held out in the near future by the state control group. Gloucester, the only county In this section entitled to a dispensery, according to the ruling that only counties voting wet will get the stores, has as yet little hope for legal liquor. There was a general assumption here that the local dispensery would be located in a drug store until the ruling was given out by the state control board that the liquors woula be dispensed only from state stores.

The esquiring of a local store to dispense legal whiskey, according to local sentiment, is In the future. In the mean time local bootleggers are reported dispensing their wares at popular prices which are staple at 50 and 75 cents a short pint and $1 to $1.50 a short half gallon Jar.
