A page from the diary of a cpiinty
nursse might weel he given as the
title'of the interesting report handed
the county chairman on th# work of
the county Bed Crpss nurses. Included in the account are narrativ-2
bits ^showing that the-work of a nurse
is fully as thrilling among citizens
in mufti as it -was during the days
of khaki and "blue.
The work of a. nurse touches extremes; Sometimes she finds a hit
of humor in; the homes visited, sometimes isorrow and pdyerty. She goes
and comes, adding a hit of cheer \&
the life of soma stricken person,
smoothing, away the cares of some
young mother and sprinkling kindness, hope and attention over the
lives of those'with whom she comes-
in contact. •        " ' -
The .following extracts- show some
of the things which the nursess have_
been doing in the past month. The
funds - of the* local organization have
.been, nearly exhausted and in. this
connection charity balls being" organized to give the women who bear the
sign of the Red Cross among the»sui-
ferers of the world, a chance to keep
on with their- good deeds.
"This has been the first month of
the winter or spring, that the nurses
•have been, held up in their work oe-
cause of bad .roads. ' We were kindly
pulled out of the mire by patient
horses or mules several times. Always our good friends in the country
help us put of these seemingly impossible .difficulties with a .good nature and willingness that cannot
help but be deeply appreciated. Even when our committees advised us
to stay off of bad roads as much as
•possible, many calls were necessary
an'd the town "folk frequently sought
the. opinion, of the public health
nurse.s.^ to how roads- "were, .conking." •
"In. one family where the nurse
Was called to give nursing care to a
baby with pneumonia, she found that
the father had heen unable to *woV-k
for the'past 13 months'. He was ta-
"ken to the hospital" |or examination,
the diagnosis revealing a. serious-
malady. ■ Commitment .papers were
filed for him- and he was soon,to be
admitted to "the psychopathic hospital.
The wife and ^seveh children, we
trust, escaped ■ infection. Follow-up.
work and oxaminationi by a physician
will be* encouraged.   **
"The reputation of our baby clinics
seems to be growing., In spite" of .bad
roads the mothers come for,'advice and guidance in the diet of their
children. From' skinny, uncomfortable, peevish babies, many are already) up to normal im body. structure, appetite. and happy smiles. *We
are interested'in every new born'baby and hope 'ill mothers will take
advantage of the opportunity to have
Ker- ejhild/en ex-iamined periodically
for preventative .reasons at least, and
to have them-registered in our files.
"Dr. "Woodbridge of* Saline has given a splendid' table for use at the
clinics there, 2*ne "Women's club is
furnishing the rest room whiten" will
also be used'as -an office for the'resH
Ident public health nurse there. New
members have been added to the
nursing- committee there as follows:
Mrs. Charles Miller, chairman; Miss
Edna Smith, iMrs. George Cook, Mrs.
Jordan,- iand MJss Ruth Rose. Township representatives will be added to
this committee.
. "Bulletins on the 'Fly*" from the "U
S. .public health service were sent to
"most schools throughtha school commissioner's office.    "*
"Obtained list of" newborn at court
house, found the list quite incomplete
and frequently the child's 'name if1.
omitted, so that registration is not
effective Though parents -probably
think that it is. Omission is probably due to the^fact, that parents Have
not definitely, nfiSraed their children
ibefore tha doctor registers the birth.-.
It- is important in later life to countless people to know that their birth
registration had been made and accurately so. Attention will be called
to this in our clinics.—Ann Arbor

DON'T SPRAY FRUIT
TREES DURING BLOOM
Bees Killed hy Arsenate at This Time
aird  Nothing  Grained.  Says Prof.   -
..Bet-tit of'jllj A.C. '
A warning against spraying with
arsenical poisons while fruit trees
are in blossom has been sent out
by R. H." Pettit, entomologist at the
Michigan Agricultural college.
Nothing is to be gained by this practice, while- serious loss through
poisoning of bees is likely to follow,
according to Professor Pettit, who
takes a positive stand pn the question. '-''.-
"It arsenicals.' are needed in the
early spring to check-the work-of
bud-moth, canker-worm, and other
early Spring insects, the arsenicals
should be used in the spray which is*
applied just previous to the opening
of the -flowers, or while the buds are
in the 'pinsk." says'Pettit.
"After the petals, have dropped,
another arseftiical spray is usually
applied in the regular routine. The
spray of lime-sulphur sometimes 'applied for scab on Dutchess during
bloom, shojfld hot «contain any, arsenical, since it kills a great number of wild bees, as- well as honey
bees, all of .'which are tha principal
agents-for pollenizing flowers." ,
•Use of the poison spray at the
wrong time brings loss not only to
the bee-keepers of the district, but
also to the orchard men themselves,
because of .the loss of these valuable
pollenizing agents.
practically still, infections- are suie
to be numerous unless spraying
siaMs early, according » to G. H.
Co:ns, plant pathologist at the Mich-
iga'n Agricultural college.
"Tests made in the M. A. C. botany .laboratory show that apple scab
spores were ripe on. trees near Grand
Rapids* on April 20," says '. Coons.
"This means that growers >must
speed up on the spray ^program and ■
put on pre:pink spray, as well as"
the_ regular pink spray they are accustomed "to - apply- The pre-pink
spray is a new^thing in spraying,
and means an- application while the

Nearly evei-y Sunday is a special

we were privileged to receive a well
prepared and entertainingly delivered
report from Mrs. C. R. Parsons... setting forth the experiences and the
findings of a delegatioa from one of
our Women's organised classes to
the Methodist, Children's Home of
Michigan at Highland Park. The
investment of over fifty .dollars in.
cash and gif^s for the - support of
this home on the ,part of our church
school during the year" was found
to be paying .big "dividends" in

Sunday, Itta}' 8th,- Set by Governor's
i Proclhniation.
It is a beatitiful""c"ustoni which de-
*erees that* one, Sunday in the year
shall be set apart for th,e purpose of
hoSoring the memory of the mothers .
who have gone from .us and of paying
a" tribute &*f affection and reverence
to thoge who are still left to us. It
is impossible to compute our debt to
-ur mothers. Their ^ devotion and
sacrifice guarded' and sheltered and

manhood .a*nd' womanhood..- To them
most of us owe whatever there is of
sterling character In our make-u?.
The mother is thef-heart of the home,
and from the hearthstone, around
which linger the'recollections of our
mothers, come inspirations- thatj give
hope and courage and steadfastness,
to fight the battle of life.
Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me as Governor of the
State of Michigan, I do hereby designate and set aside Sunday, May S,
1921, as (Mothers' Day and J call upon our people, both young and old,' to
gather in their several places ■ <<f

appropriate .to the day. *   p

lake this occasion to visit the mother

GARDEN NOTES.
By M. A. C. HorticulturnlrBept.
Time now to sow seeds of hardy annual flowering plants,
•It is not too late *to* start celery
for the late crop. Seed may be sowa'
in well prepared out-door seed beds.
Make the soil fine, .cover the seed
very lightly, 'and keep' the soil, moist.
" The common varieties of spinach
go to seed quioltly in warm weathe.'.
If you are" fond of this-, vegetable,
try New Zeeland This variety grows
all sinnaer and repeated pickings
may be made from, the same plants,
only the tender growing tips being
used. .       - - *
Try planting of sweet corn ami
wax beans now'. There is still danger of frost, but if the planting is
lost, replant. The cost of seed is of
minor consideration. Don't plant
lima beans until' the treather is settled and tire soil is quit'e warm,
otherwise the seed, will rot. Henderson's Bash- lima is the most dependable variety* to grow in iMich-'
igan.
It is a'mistake to start an aspa-i-
agus -bed from old plants. , Only one
or two year- old seedling plants
should be used. ' Set the- plants IS,
inches-apart ini .rows spaced 3 or 4
feet apart.. Always .Bet the plants
deep; "The crown- of the plant should
