ProMnor of Fomoloe^jRutgm^Uiriverstty. Any period of warm weather in the spring is an ideal time for the application of a tar oil emulsion spray for the control of apple aphis, litis material, if applied at the proper .strength, will kill the aphis eggs now on the trees. The stock emulsion, as received from the manufacturer or dealer, will contain 66, 83 or 98 per cent actual tar oil. This should be diluted to provide 2.5 per cent actual tar oil in the diluted spray. Growers who have had difficulty controlling the apple aphis would do well to apply one of the tar oil emulsions while the trees are dormant and the temperature is above freezing, since the treatment offers one of the most effective methods of control. Plans for applying tar oil emulair, but the timer didn't work last ! should be made early enough Thursday afternoon when Dick sent . lnsur® e completion of the job it into the air. There wtfs enough gas in the tank to fly the plane for a half hour. Ernie Plotz, son of Mrs. Sophia Plotz of Grayslake, received a severe cut in his leg, when the bicycle he was by the time the fruit buds appear silvery, since the use of such a mixture after that stage of bud development may cause serious injury.

Two miles east of Crystal Lake, near the Gieseke farm, a man writes radio scenarios and raises dogs. The man is Robert M. Burtt, creator of the WGN serial "Captain Midnight." His dogs are greyhounds, carrying almost tveiy winning strain existing in the United States. "Your readers may be interested," said Mr. Burtt, "in learning that the outstanding greyhound in the country is only a few miles from Crystal Lake." That dog is Silver Breeze, a veteran of about four years racing. Now she is retired and valued for breeding purposes, but her record is still recognized nationally." The Barrington Review, published for the past eight years by Leslie W. McClure, was sold recently to R. E. Bixler and Don C. Sorensen of Chicago, who plan to continue operation of the paper under the same general policy as in the past. Leslie Freye, of Palatine, who is employed in the service department of Schauble Chevrolet Sales at Barrington, has had the experience of winning a prize that he can't use or cant give away to someone else. He was awarded an all-expense lake trip by a Chicago newspaper this week after his picture had been taken by a roving photographer and printed in the paper as part of a contest conducted for men only. The unfortunate part of it is that Mr. Freye has already taken his vacation and to take another with the loss of working time, plus the added expense of taking his family with him, would make acceptance of the award too costly, he said. Martin Bachenz, 67, of Plymouth Wis., was drowned in Third Lake early Monday forenoon of last week. He and his two grandsons, Martin, 8, and David, 4, were going fishing.

The children called ever, that the trees be completely coated with the spray, since any aphis eggs which are missed will not be killed. Best results are obtained by floating the material into the tree with the wind in the form of a fine mist. Many Reasons Why the Hen Lays Eggs on Floor Floor eggs are objectionable for many reasons. They are likely to be broken and bring about the egg eating habit. Then, too, they are often fouled. And of great importance to R. O. ,P. breeders, they cannot be credited to the hens that lay them. The primary reason for floor laying is lack of sufficient nests, ad- Wises a poultryman in the Montreal Herald. If a hen is ready to lay and the nests are all occupied she will do the next best thing--lay on the floor. So the first preventive measure is to provide plenty of nests. Another reason is comfort. If a hen ignores an empty nest and lays on the floor, she is probably more comfortable there. The type of trap door may be another reason for floor eggs. There is usually a higher percentage of such eggs where the nests are equipped with the old type swinging door that is held in place with -a trigger. This makes a rather cumbersome trap and the hens appear to flght shy of it. Either thin plyboard or metal drops seem to be least objectionable, being light, easily worked and positive.

The two past mild winters have caused such insects to increase. Dry corn, stored in a dry crib, well ventilated, is not likely to be damaged by insects. First indications of damage can be detected by finding holes in the ends for help and were brought safely to and along the sides of the kernels, shore.

During the past week the European corn borer has been found along the northern border of Lake county and along the Indiana line of Will county.
