They FARM CALENDAR Control Rosy Aphis—If weather conditions and the extreme variations in bud development have presented the application of nicotine-sulphate spray for the control of rosy aphis, growers should apply the spray as soon as possible so that the whole or- chard is covered at least once. Provide Plenty of Hoppers—Stunt- ed chicks are likely to be the result of an insufficient amount of hopper space. It is a wise plan to watch the chicks and supply more hoppers whenever the chicks are crowded to obtain feed. Practice Safety First—When blast- ing stumps be careful of hangfires. Instead of risking life and limb by immediate investigation, look at the charge the next day. The electric method of firing is the safest and surest. 5 Save Girdled Trees—Bridge-graft- ing the injured places on trees girdled by ice will prevent loss of the trees. Use of plenty of scions provide great- er food-carrying capacity, say State College fruit specialists. Spray for Cherry Disease—Spray- ing with self-boiled lime-sulphur con- trols yellow leaf spot of cherries. Four sprays are recommended; when the petals fall, when the shucks are off the young fruit, just before the cherries turn red, and after picking. Brown rot, another dangerous disease of cherries, is controlled by the same spray. Plant for Early Harvest—Enthusi- astic home gardeners at this time of the year are looking forward with a great deal of interest to the date when it will be possible to harvest vegetables. A gardener’s skill is re- flected largely in the ability to ma- ture vegetables early in the season. Preserve the Wild Flowers Somerset County, once the home of many rare wild flowers is losing them one by one by sheer lack of knowledge as to their preservation.

Subscribe for The Commercial day last in Winchester, Va., attending Robert Bittner, of Beachley street, South Side, spent the week end visiting his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Wil- treasure what is left by leaving them where they grow, unmolested. Enjoy, do not destroy. The Pennsylvania Chapter Wild Flow- er Preservation Society was formed in June, 1921, with a declared object of encouraging and educating the people of Pennsylvania to protect native plants and wild flowers from destruction, to cut with care and judgment only, leav- ing the rarer species to multiply, and to spread the knowledge of their habits and cultural requirements in the com- munity. The chapter provides lectures with colored slides, belicving that once the people come to know and love the wild flowers they will become their guardians: and not their exterminators. DUTIES OF THE COUNTY CHAIRMEN The chairman will advocate the pre- servation of wild flowers by the distri- bution of literature furnished by the chapter, arrange for speakers on the subject to appear before women’s clubs and other civic meetings, and endeavor to interest teachers and school children in the work. It is suggested that much may be done in that direction by lectures, the erec- jon of conservation booths at flower shows and the offering of prizes in schools for the best essays on the sub- ject.
