-.White and Son, proprietors of ths"
White Fruit and Floral farm, locatea
at the east end of Sixth street, now
have" the entire twenty acres planted
to fruit and flowers, and are planning
an extension ot" their business this
fall by building the first unit of a
greenhouse,    ;
Edwar.d White has taken extensive
courses in horticulture and practical
fruit growing at Michigan State College,' and . the-entire property gives
evidence of careful planning, excellent care and scientific farming.
During the outdoor growing season
.Whites' furnish cut flowers, sprays
and set pieces for funerals, weddings,
dinners and other functions, and the
installation of a house for growing
will enable them to continue their
service throughout the yeaf-.
While the farm is a commercial
proposition and not open to the curiosity seekers, the occasional business
visitor is charmed with the driye up
the hill, which is lined on each side
with shrubs, and the garden to the
right with its beds ofNcoeropesis and
gaillardia. At the left of the drive
is a' wide expanse of lawn sloping up
towards the residence. This lawn
was seeded in 1912 and never re-seeG-
ed but it cannot be surpassed by any
lawn in the city.
Stepping stones lead to the garden
where eight hundred peony plants
have just ceased to bloom, and where
thousands of 'choice gladiolus are
growing. A nursery where spirea
and other varieties of shrubs « are
groown, lies between the peonies and
■-i^gladiolus sections.
■ A speciality of the White's farm is
the choice roses which they grow.
There are hundreds of varietes, ranging from the highest grade roses' that
can be obtained, to many different
kinds of climbers, including the American Beauty., Every rose tree and
plant in this garden has an abundant
and healthy growth of foliage, thus
giving evidence of the excellent care
and scientific work of the manager of
the farm.
Rasberries, plums, cherries and
peaches are grown by the Whites, but
many of the trees and bushes will not
bear a heavy crop this year on account of the frosts during the spring.
However, the peach trees are heavily
'loaded with fruit and they give promise of being an excellent quality.
For many years .they have specialized in the growing of black currants
and have eight hundred bushes. The
crop is stripped to Detroit, where
there is a good market at the hospitals, they have it manufactured into
jam for the use of the patients. A ban
has been placed on black currants he-
cause of the supposition that it is host
to the white pine blister rust, but no
arrangements have thus far been
made to recompense the. Whites for
their bushes should they be destroyed,
and the crop this year ir, exceptionally .fine.
White and Son also have several-
Chinese cherry bushes which were
gent to them by the United States Department of Agriculture, for experimental purposes, and thoy send a report to th'e department regularly on
the condition of these bushes.
The White fruit ancl floral farm has
every indication of a prosperous future, and is destined to become one ot
Clare's  most important industries.

KILL APPLE MAGGOTS
WITH SPECIAL SPRAY
Arsenate of Lead Recommended
For Use on Late Fall And
Winter Apples.
The apperance of the apple - maggot in several localities in Michigan
makes it necessary for the grower
who wishes to produce first class late
fall and winter apples to apply a special spray to control this insect.
The apple -maggot is the larvae of
a fly and it differs from the codling
moth larvae so that it can be identified by a careful observer. The apple
maggot,is white, is smaller than the
codling moth larvae, and has no head.
The maggot -feeds, throught the flesh
of the apple, ...     .■.,..,..:    ,,.,-.
Successful control' is«d^jn(ieiit!"iip!''
on the proper timlt® fbr^ine-application of the protective sprays. The first
spray must be applied after the emergence of the adult flies and before
they have had a chance to lay their
eggs, and the second spray is applied
two weeks later.
The spray as- recommended by entomologists at Michigan State College
is one pound of arsen&te of lead to 50
gallons of water. This extra spray
should be applied only in districts
where the apple maggot Is present.
County agricultural agents can inform
growers if the insect is found in their
localities.
The spray is recommended for use
only on late fall and winter apples.
Notices of the proper time to spray
will be sent to each section of the"
State as the fly appears.

sensation among audiences when her

DRILLING FOR OIL

TO COMMENCE SOON
Equipment for Third WeU
in Glare County Now
Qii Ground,
.Equipment for the drilling of an oil
well on the farm of James McKay in
Grant township, is now on the ground
and actual operations will begin soon.
The development of the oil fields
of central Michigan is attracting large
numbers of "tourists and residents of
■other communities, and is hereby increasing the traffic on the highways
to a great extent. ,
Unfoij't.unately, the McKay well is
practically inaccessible, as there is
one and one-half ,mil'est of impassable
road between the.city of Clare and
the location of the well. ,
Every tourist or resident of any
other community that visits Clare
county to see the oil wells or development of the oil fields will leave some
business with the citizens of the
county, and it would seem .adyisable,,
to make the roads to the wells passable,
