TWAS IL years ago and in New York
that Labor day was first celebrated. The
general assembly of the knights Of La
Dor was held in the big city at the Hud-
sons mouth in 1882, and it was pro-
posed by P. J. Mcclure, now first vice
president of the American Federation,
then a member of the New York Cen
trail Labor union, that some time during
the assembly's session that year all the
labor organizations of New York should

problems than we, in her agriculture, and
they are different from ours. California
has still others, which vary still further
experiments adapted to the wants and
conditions of our people, Wisconsin and
Iowa are able TO follow special lines of
adaptation and growth in the dairy better
than we are at present able to do here
The time may come, and | hope il may
come speedily, when, along with our
general agriculture, we may have the dairy
interest strengthened in our state, and u
strong growth in that direction will make
a demand for greater expert knowledge.
The state of Louisiana devotes $35,000 a
year, in addition TO the $4,000 given by
the United States, to experiments in sugar
cane and fruits. That is reason enough
for the progress made in that state in that
special direction. Colorado has q great
irrigation problem as the basis of her
development. She has done so much in
that direction rs to make her managing
engineer-a young man, one of my former
pupils--so famous that his name has
found its way into one of the great CYCLIC.
pedias of the country. But his fame is
the result of the definite line of expert
work which he has been carrying ON for
years in the Colorado station, in reference
to irrigation. The problems being solved
there are such as we shall have to solve,
and we can use their knowledge in appli-
cation to our wants here. So with the
whole range of investigation in the more
than so stations of the country. All are
gathering together expert knowledge and
expert data for the use of every other
station and of every farmer.
The benefits already secured have more
than paid the cost, although the bulk of
expenditure has been, so far, in apparatus
for use in the stations and in gaining the
expert knowledge for Il corps of workers
whose lives are devoted to the farmers
interests. Gather around these experts;
stimulate their energies by interest, by
faith, il you can, and find results in the
stable, and in the growing fields. If you,
MS farmers, have not found your everlast-
ing life, ms we'll as your daily life, in your
industry, you have not yet come to be the
farmers you ought to be. Make your
young men grow up with interest in the
things which they can enjoy in their own
daily tasks.

Tho Industrial Crusade of 1917.

A writer in the RdilWGy Conductor finds
parallel to the Coxey movement in the
march of the "Blanketeers," which took
place in England in tho spring of the year
1917, and thus describes tho crusade;
"The blanketeers were body Of men
who marched to London, much In the
manner in which the commonweaers are
now marching to Washington, for the
purpose of presenting petitions to parlia-
ment and inducing that body to aocede to
their demands for the enactment of GER
tain measures of reform in the govern
ment. The movement had its origin
among the weavers of Lancashire Early
in March of the year of 1917, the 10th of
the month, believe it was, a vast body of
workingmen assembled in st. Peters field
at Manchester for the purpose Of discus
sing the question of parliamentary reform
which was just then agitating the country,
and for the further purpose Of organizing
an army which should march to LondQp.
and present It's petition to parliament ia
a body. This meeting was called the
Blanket Meeting because of the fact that
those who attended were observed to have
a blanket, or large coat, r"' up and
strapped, knapsack fashion, cir backs;
and, for the same eason, those who par
ticipated in the movement were known as
'Blanketeers.' Some carried bundles under
their arms; some carried rolls of paper in
their hands, supposed to be petitions
which had been got ready to present to
parliament upon their arrival in London;
and many had stout walking sticks in their
hands to assist them on their Journey.
The magistrates came upon the field where
this meeting took place and read the riot
act. Zone week before this, on March 8,
the hdbeds corpus act had been suspended
throughout the kingdom, under AN act to
empower his majesty to secure and detain
such persons as his majesty shall suspect
are conspiring against his person and
government.O
"The meeting was dispersed by the
military and the constables; and no more
than 300 of the blanketeers, without
leaders, and without organization, began
their struggling march toward London.
These were followed by body of cOnsta-
bles, who apprehended some and induced
others to desert, until when the blanket
GERS spread their blankets at Macclesfeld,
at nine O'Clock that night they numbered
less than 200. These kept on their march,
their numbers meanwhile continually de-
creasing because of assertions and arrests
by the authorities along the line of march,
until the 18th of the month, when mere
handful of the original blanketeer army
reached the outskirts of London and con-
cluded TO disband without having accom-
plished their purpose of appealing to
parliament.
"Many of the men went into the
blanketeers movement ectuated by the
belief that it was the most effective way in
which they could exercise their right of pc
tition; but the belief was erroneous par
lament continued in its vicious course of
manufacturing social legislation undis-
turbed by the blanketeer movements and,
in this respect, also, history will no doubt
repeat itself with regard to the common
wealers and the Congress of the United
Statesn

In figure the spore clusters may be
seen more highly magnified. The hori-
zontal line represents the surface of the
bugs body. The external growth may
become 80 dense as to appear like small
flake of snow. With magnifer, how
ever, the legs or antenn@ of the bug may
be seen protruding through the fungus
Since the spores are borne in immense
numbers ON a single bug, and are easily
detached from their stems, it may be
readily understood how the disease may
become widely spread in a short time by
the contact of one bug with another, or
by the scattering of the spores by the
wind. Moreover, it may be seen how the
spores are being scattered over the field,
even while the weather is too dry for their
instant growth, and consequent immedi-
ate destruction Of the bugs. When a bug
has one of the spores on its body, the
spore puts forth sprout, if the weather
is rather moist, or the bug in moist
place. The sprout enters the body of the
bug, and, growing rapidly, it soon OK

Petitions In Boots.

Professor Hourwitch, of the University
of Chicago, has pointed out that, in this
respect, as in many Others, the Americans
are but English.speaking Muscovites. He
says:
ain Russia, it frequently happens that
the peasants of some remote village or
group of villages, finding no relief for
their grievances with the home authorities,
send their delegates to bring petitions in
boots to the seat of the central govern
ment. The weary walkers as they are
called in Russia, march thousands of miles,
very often begging for Christ's sake
That men should come to the adoption Of
such methods of petitioning in America is
phenomenon so extraordinary that 1t
deserves study from another than police
mans standpoint"

Nature of the Chlnoh-Bug Disease.

We are indebted to Chancellor Snow, of
the experimental station, at Lawrence, for
the following description of the ohinoh-
bug disease:
The disease propagated for the destruc-
ton of the chinch bug, is caused by Il
minute parasitic plant which enters the
body of the bug and kills it by feeding upon
it, The farmeris familiar with other para
site plants which cause the destruction of
life; the mildew of grapes and potatoes and
the rust of wheat aro examples. Cholera
and smallpox among the human family
are caused by minute bacterial parasites,
which are more distantly related to the
parasite which kills the ohinch bug. All
of these parasitic plants which have no
true flowers and seeds we call fungi (sin-
gular, fungus). For simplicity, We speak
of the chinch-bug parasite as the white
fungus. The experimental station sends
to each applicant few dead chinch bugs
covered with an external growth of the
white fungus. The external growth CON
sists of minute thread-like branches bear
ing clusters of spores (the spores are
reproductive bodies, and serve as the
seeds of higher plants) The spores of
this fungus are 30 small that it would take
more than 10000 of them placed side by
side to cover a line an inch long.

hausts the life juices OF the bug and
causes its death. Then the fungus grows
to the surface and bears its spores out
side the bugs body, and becomes itself a
source of infection. All this may take
place in the space of two days, or less.
The white fungus is not injurious to
man or any of the domestic animals.

Figure is a diagramatic view Of a bug
dead of the disease The shaded portion
through the middle of the body repre-
sents the alimentary canal. The heavier
lines crossing the body are the divisions
of the segments. The finer lines ramify-
ing through the body represent the roots
Gas they might be called of the fungus,
Here and there branches may be seen
reaching to the surface, and bearing the
spores in head-like clusters.
