FARMERS . COLUMN Some Practical Suggestions Wel Worth Knowing From the De- partment of Agriculture. FACTS FOR DAILYfUSE FERTILIZING FRUIT TREES. “Many people think that ffuit trees “meed no fertilizer and let them shift for themselves, which is the cause of “80 many starved trees in this State. We believe that more trees die of | ‘starvation yearly than from any oth- ‘Pr cause. “When manure of any kind is used as feed it should be applied in the fall or sometime during the winter: “put: if you are using commercial: fer- tilizer it should be applied about blos- ~goming time: If you have not yet: fed our trees, this Is a good time:to @o |”, :4ty apply your fertilizer at once ‘he ‘fore you forget about it. ‘mTpees on different soils of course Yequire different kinds and. different | 1D. amounts of fertilizer and we can make Jo'hard and fast rules, but by watch ' dng your ‘trees closely you can tell i"what they need. Fertilize your béar- dng trees go that you secure an aver- mage of from six to twelve inches of new growth each seasion; young trees should grow considerably more than that. Always use a good high grade fertilizer, which carries from & 6 per cent of nitrogen and from 10 to 12 per cent. of phosphoric acid. “Some varieties of trees require more fertilizer than others but a safe rule is to apply about a pound of fer- “tilizer to each tree for each year in age; for intance, a twenty year old vitree should have about twenty pounds. If you are cultivating the or- . chard apply it just before cultivation while if the orchard is in sod, apply . it on top of the grass and the rains will take it down. When ‘the trees are large apply the fertilizer over all - the ground, excepting a space of from four to six feet around the trunk of .the aree; At this point we find nearly all brace reots and fertilizer does very little good there. On a younger . tree apply the fertilizer well out be-' yond the spread of the branches so that it comes in contact with the | feeding roots. The fertilization of the orchard eosts so little and the results are so remarkable that you simply’ can’t afford te neglect it.” 1 SYERILIZED: EGGS CNT £3 TET KEEP FOR YEARS. “'Sterilized eggs by a process’ ¥hat | "will keep them solid ‘and in’ 00d con’ tition for years is one of the latest * ““ecHievéments to be brought “before | |Secretary, Mrs. BE.

The eggs were sent to the Depart. ment of Agriculture from Philadel: |’ phia where there was a steady sale to hotels /of what were termed “Ster- lized Kees, » Investigation by the a&-, gents showed that the eggs, some oi which were as old as 1912, had been sterilized under what is known as. the Taylor process and had been | kept in warehouse and cellar and re- ‘ cently sold to hotels in Philadelphia. The eggs were solid, looked very much like fresh eggs and upon cand- ling were found not to be shrunken. Futher investigation led to the dis- | covery of a machine which was used in the patented proeess of steriliz- ing the eggs. All that is now known of the process is that the eggs are placed in the machine and drop first into hot and then cold oil. The pores are closed, the shells strengthened and the eggs sterilized. Prof. LaWall. chemist of the Dairy and Food Division, is now doing some experimental work in connection with sterilized eggs and in a short time the results of his work may be known. It is probable that method su- perior’ to the cold storage and water glass preserving may be found. PROSECUTIONS FOR SELLING BLEACHED FLOUR. Following the warning sent through out the State that the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture would make a crusade against the sale of bleached flour, two prosecutions have been ordered in Westmoreland county whre bleached flour containing nit- rites were found by the agents of the Dairy and Food Bureau. The same Bureau agents have prosecuted ' a restaurant dealer for using oleomar- garine in his place of business with- out a state license. About thirty milk and cream cases against dealers'are below the Standard for butter fats and solids. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI!A | Rev. C, ‘P. Wiles; D. D. .

CONTRACTOR TO BUILD ROCKWOOD CHURCH At a meeting of the trustees of St. Luke’s Lutheran church at Rockwood a few. days ago, the contract to build the handsome new church was a- warded to Roy Hostetler of Somer: set, whose bid was lowest of quite a number of estimates submitted. The contract was signed immediate ly and Mr. Hostetler will begin work at once. The old church will be razed and much of the material will be un- tilized in the construction of the new edifice. It is to be ready for occupan- cy by December. The new church will conslst of a church auditorium Sunday School building, basement banquet hall and kitchen and will be of pleasing architecture and well fur- nished. It was designed by Fulton & Butler of Uniontown and the bids for its construction were well within the architects’ estimate. Rev. Erler, the pastor, reported that arrangements had been made with school board for the use of the high school auditorium for church services until the new building is completed. Commencing Sunday last the congre- gation will meet for all divine ser- vices in the school room. Try Our Fine Job Work | the British ships. WILL HEAD RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE IN ST.
