At East Meadow; Cook Own
Meals—Standing in Contests
Hempstead, April 25.—Nine hoyt nnd scoutmaster Behland went on an over night camp to Rti«t Meadow, April 16. In spite of tho rain. There were several tests past. The boys did thplr own cooking. There certainly was some variety of f<x>d, such as roast chicken, beans, eggs and bacon, pork chops, steak and sardines.
The boys were up at 5 a. m. Sunday morning to cook breakfast. At 8:46 a. m. lhey broke camp and started for home and all agreed It did a lot of good.
Troop 2 will takff In more new scout? if they *I11 apply ftt thc meeting room on Fulton street next to the Railroad depot. It Is the Intention of the scout jinastcr to htive more of these ovei night camps but not until the weathei gets wnrmer.

The one bl« thing needed for sue-* arsenate iioison can be purchased In
res* with fruit, berries, vegetables or flowera ia to keep the soil well at/p- plled with humus. wHich, an proven for many genrratlona, can he easily ac^romplished In a goodly number of ways. 1 First, by turning tmder, aa American pioheers did, the leavea cov¬ ering the aoll where the forests atood and the grass covering the soil of the prairies. Precisely the aame humus la fcpcured by spreading anywhere from 10 to 2f> lons fif barnyard manure to the acre every two or three years. Again 11 is accomplished by turning under a good sod such aa exists in pastures, and also by the use of the black stuff called swaijw muck, which is, of course, nothing more or less than decaying leaves and grasses, and which is now sold In a dry, granulated form.
Another way Is to plant in the fall such things as crimson clover, vetch and rye, and then turning under thie godB growth In the springtime. Still another way, if you are wllilng to wait a year, is to plant cowpeas or soylieans about the middle of May and turn these under in the fall. »You see you have a wide cljOlce and a wide range of cost, so ench man can cut his coat according to his cloth.
With a good amount of humus in the soil you can grow heavy crops anywhere on Long Island, particular¬ ly If, aftei; turning under humua makers, you apply on the surface 800 to 1000 pounds of slaked time or, ag It is called nowadays, "agricultural "hydrated" lime. Quicklime can be used in smaller quantities but with serious Injury to the skin of man and horses, clothing, etc. Finely pow¬ dered limestone can also be used In larger quantities of course; the cost is lower but the action slower than with either of the other forms.
In planting fruit or shade trees, berry bushes, roses, etc., a great deal of time and money Is often lost be¬ cause the holes dug for them are so small that thetr roots are cramped, the earth is left in a lumpy condition in- Htead of carefully worked and made fine; the fllllng in is not carefully done nnd the earth is not packed around the roots, air holes are left, the tlbrouB roots that supply moisture and food dry out, and the plant alwaya is sick-a¬ bed, if not killed.
Although contrary to teaching that ia probably very wise, particularly for heavy clay soils, we flnd It Is the heat practice to throw ,Into the bottom of the hole before planting six or eight inches of leaves, or heavy sod turned upside down, or well rotted manure. Or, if none of these are obtainable; grass clippings or hay. This we tramp down lightly and, before planting, throw two or three Inches of good soil over It. This acts like a sponge and Tiolds a goodly supply of moisture for the plant roots. We further find thut mixing a couple of shovelfuls of swamp muck or well rotted manure wllh the soil that has been dug out erlvos the transplant a good vigorous start. Good care and good feeding ot plant babies, just as with human babies. Is of vital importance.
Pruning, we have found, should Idc- gin as soon as the tree or bush Is re¬ ceived from the nursery. All broken root.s should be cut off clean because the plant will spend a lol of vigor tr>^- Ing to mend the break instead of form¬ ing new thread-like roots to take the place of those destroyed, and these roots are the tree's veins. As many roots are destroyed, no matter how carefully the plants are dug, vigorous piVLinlng of limbs 'must also be done. Many trees and small- plants are lost because the branches or top growth are not reduced sufficiently. Kvery root destroyed means Just so much re ductlon in the sap supply.
Iiaste or powder foi m, or can be home made. This spray Is applied wlifen the petals of the blooms are falling and the young fruit ia Just commencing to develop. The next apray, whlrh nivmld be a combination spray of Img and blight prevented, la usually applied a week or ten days later, and still an- otbef a week later; this generally as¬ sures good fruit. Commercial or- chardists, as a rule, use from five to aeven sprays, and some even more, and they flnd It pays iWell.
With potatoes, beans, cucumliera, melons, squash, and other vegetables liable to be Injured by fungus troubles or blights, tho seed should be soaked for about 15 mlnutee In a solution of trichloride of mercury, one part to 1500 parts of water. This strength will be found safe and satisfactory in the ma¬ jority of cases, and experience will show where stronger or weaker solu¬ tions would make an Improvement. The reason for sot^ini; the seed is be¬ cauae scientific microscopic investiga¬ tion has shown that the spores of many diseases of cabbage, potatoes, beans, etc., are carried on the seed, and that diseased seed generally means diseased plants. Seed should be promptly dried in the shade aftfr soaking.
The flrst spraying? of vegetables ia the one of greatest Importance, and we have found that under Long Island conditions the usual directions must be modified, and the flrst spraying done with great care as soon as the plants ara up and have sent out their flrst leaves. As a rule this is when the plants are showing only two tr four inches atiove the ground. The second spraying should be given about ten days later, and with such plants as potatoes this should be continued every seven to ten days until mighty close to digging time.
It Is hard luck to lose potatoes, for Instance, after you have carried them through without serious attacks by early blight, mosaic, leaf-roll, Colorado beetle and flea beetle; to have late blight nullify all efforts and turn prollt into serious if not total loss. Or, atter spending money for preparing and fer¬ tilizing your soli, money for seeds and their planting, money for cultivation, to have a crop of beans disfigured and practically unsalohle beciuse of l>enn spot.

Spraying An Absolute Necessity
Spraying today la an absolute ne¬ cessity. Nowhere In the United Stntes are satisfactory results obtained with¬ out it. There always should be a dor¬ mant spray applied any time during the winter season, and this can be either one of the oil sprays, which are easy to apply and apread far, or lime and sulphur which remains Just wherp It ts placed, but apots not struck by the spray will not be rid of San Jose scale, eggs or hidden bugs. J'hts dormant spray Is very" valuable from many points of view. It smothers or otherwise kllla great humtiers of pests of both the bug and blight families, and even destroys many In the soil around the tree trunk or parent stem of the plant, Tha next apray Is, ap¬ plied when the leaf buds begin to open, and as this is prote<ctlon acainst fun- giiii troubles or blights, Bordeaux mix¬ ture proves most successful under Lons Island condtttons. The moat successful growers! ot fruit find it valuable to follow this within a week with another thorough apraybUK when the blossoms are lieglnning to open.
The next spi;ay is mainly for bug kllUnif purposes and should be of some poison. Arsenate or arsenlte of lead or ot sine are .used and ean be pro¬ cured best in paste forra, which M easily prepared, but we have t« bave many others, that at tbJ^ injg It is well tp use both p tmg

Investigations conducted by the Geneva E.xperiment Station shdw that in western New York an outbreak of blister canker In the apple or¬ chards is always possible, esiieci.illy following a protracted perlo<l of dry weather In the spring. The organism causing the disease is nearly always present In the orchard or In neiirby woodlots, and since .apple trees are most susceptible to attack in the spring when new growth starts any condition of the soil or weather which retards growth favors the development of blister canker. Early cultivation to preserve soli moisture Is, therefore, especially desirable.
The disease gains entrance into the wood through some injury to the tre-e, usually a pruning wound, hence it is Important that all such wounds be covered in some way. For this lair- pose a coating of common shellac fol¬ lowed by coal tar gave the best pro¬ tection and withstood weathering bet¬ ter than any of the other wound dressings which were tried.
The Immediate removal of all blinter cankered branches is probably the liest control measure as such a practice re¬ tards the spread of the disease In the orchard. It should be remembered, however, that in removing a diseased branch the cut should 'be made as far away from the canker as possible be¬ cause the disease extends in all direc¬ tions through the wood and unless all diseased wood Js removed a new canker will form.
Fortunately, blister canker Is not aa prevalent In New York orchards tm* In some other sections of the country, but the fruit grower shodld be constantly on the lookout for the disease as tt has wrought considerable damage In the paat in this State.
