Remember that five minutes cooking
s often better than 20 minutes. How
ood raw cabbage and carrots are
without any cooking at all, in salads!
Why then, can not two-minute or
five-minute, or ten-minuto cabbage
or carrots be eaten as happily? Th
answer is, they can, when you"I?et

Use Lime 'Sulphur Spray for
Shot Hole Fungus.
Rapid yellowing of leaves
cherry trees Is probably caused by
a fungus trouble known as shot hoi
fungus. Trees that lose all of thei
leaves now wIl be seriously weak
ened and may die next year. As
soon as the cherries have been pick
ed. a lime sulful spray should be
applied to the tree. Liquid lime sul
ful is more effective than dry lime
sulful. The l'quid lime sulful should
be used at the rate of a gallon and
a quarter to 50 gallons of water. If,
cherry slugs are still feeding on the
leaves, 1 4 pounds of lead arsenate
may be added to the 50 gallons of
the spray.
Time for Clover Spray for Fruit.
Cool rainy weather has retarded
the coddling moth. The next brood
of moths was expected early since
the first brood was early. Only
few moths have appeared yet. An
other notice will inform you as to
the peak of emergence.
If you plan to put on two cover
sprays for this brood of worms the
first should go on July 11-1C and tTie
second 7 to 10 days later. These
two sprays are advised for old or
chards or where worms are serious.
But, if you plan to spray only once
more, delay until the next notice.
Another fungicide spray seems ad
visable considering the early scab
nfection and continued wet weath
er. Dry lime sulful 2-o lbs. to tu
gals, is safe if cool (below 85).
Use Borcdeaux 2-4-50, if hot, and on
Jonathan in any case to prevent frog

Washington. July 15. The r.a
ional prohibition board of strategy
today urged its member organiza-
ions to support "flioe candidates
who believe that prohibition ought
o be the law."
This advice was contained in a
ummation of campaign policy draft-
d by a subcommittee and approved
by the board.
Appended was a resume of the
record of the republican and demo
cratic nominees for the presidency
and vice-presidency with quoted ut
terances from them on the prohi
bition question.
It refrained from endorsing spe
cifically any candidates. Behind this
lay an effort on the part of one
group within the board to have it
declare at once for the re-election of
President Hoover. This proposal was
rejected by vote of the board when
offered as an amendment to the sub
committee's statement.
Party Chairman Quits.
The policy declaration set forth
a belief that the question of retain
ing, modifying or repealing the pro
hibition amendment should be settled
by the votes of the people, "in sena
torial, congressional and legislative
elections."
Asserting the resume of President
Hoover's record made him out to be
dryer than was warranted. 1).
Leigh Colvin, national chairman of
the prohibition party, resigned from
the board of strategy, lie is push
ing plans to put a strong, national
ly-known bone dry third party ticket
into the field.
Three Divergent Views.
Discussion which preceded adop
tion of the statement, revealed three
divergent views. One group held for
the policy finally approved. A sec
ond, led by Oliver W. Stewart or
the flying squadron, urged imme
diate indorsement of President Hoo-
er. A third, including Bishop
James Cannon. Jr., of the Methodist
Episcopal church. South, and Dr.
Clarence True Wilson, secretary of
the Methodist board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals, held
that n declaration for Mr. Hoover
should be deferred until he utters
his persons? view on repeal.
The text was submitted this after
noon to tne national conterence oi
organizations supporting the Eight
eenth amendment, for which the
board serves as an executive commit
tee. No action by the larger group
was intended, however, as the board
acts for it. World-Herald.
