A Dangerous Tobacco Disease.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF Th Progressive Farmer:
A very destructive tobacco disease
has recently broken out with extreme
violence In certain portions of the
State. 1t is the desire of the Station
to accumulate all information con-
corning the disease which may lead
to a checking of it's ravages. The
point now most to be desired is to
find out how widely the disease is
distributed over the State. To that
end we request that all people in
terested in tobacco growing, who are
troubled with any disease of their to-
bacco plants will send specimens con-
sisting of the lower part of the stem
and the roots to the Station. We
particularly desire these specimens if
the disease consists of the willing of
the leaves, accompanied by a brown
color In that portion of the stem just
inside of the bark. We urge upon all
tobacco growers the Importance of
notifying the Station Immediately
after this disease appears in the
neighborhood, so hat we may advise
as to the means of preventing its
spread. Two diseased stalks in the
field this year may mean the loss of
the entire crop the next year you
put tobacco on the field.

Farmers, Attention !

The American and Imperial To
bacco Companies have instructed
their buyers to refuse all tobacco not
properly graded. This order is eff
fective everywhere and will be obeyed
to the~letter.
The grading by the farmers will
insure them better prices and will
make the handling at the local mar
ket and by the manufacturer much
easier.
Tobacco growers should heed this
suggestion and act accordingly

l think by all means the best time
to turn under the weeds is at once
before they fully mature and re-seed
the land. At this season of the year
the weeds can be plowed under by
using a heavy chain attached to the

leaving the chain dragging in the fur
row. thus pulling the weeds under
and thoroughly covering them by
the turrow slide.

Dear Sir:-PIease answer through

When is the best time to turn I'M

Does it injure heavy timbered old

Geese Protect Property.

Geese Protect Property.
In certain rural sections near Philadel-
phia dogs, as the natural protectors of
property, are fast becoming useless, and.
strange as it may seem, their places are
taken by geese and guinea hens. Arrest
dent thus explains the situation: "Out
of ten of my neighbors, know of six who
have disposed Of their watch dogs within
the last two months, and now depend on

alarm when an intruder makes his an

the guinea hen is probably the mere

turbed, hearing the slightest noise. and
screeching for all it is worth when It
hears anything unusual. Not long ago a
flock of guinea hens but half mile from
here prevented their owners house from
being robbed. Two men had gotten into
the farm and were making for the rear
entrance to the mans house when the
guinea hens heard them and screamed
as though they were being killed. The re-
suit was that their owner was awakened.

aries of the city is 70O-acre pickle and
onion farm upon which there are en-
ployed during the harvest season as high
as 200 harvest hands whose wages will
average about SIPS per day. This farm
lies to the north of the city, yet within
it's limits, and is just south of fastidious
Evanston. 1t was started 40 years ago
by New England Yankee gardener, and
though the land is now of great value,
yet the growing Of cucumbers and onions
upon it is found to be profitable, and
there is no danger of it's being sold for
building lots in the immediate future.
The great majority of the employees
upon it are residents of the Northwest
side-Polish and Bohemian women who
have but slight interest in the labor or
CARNATIONS, and who are not controlled
by walking delegates. The money they
earn is fortune to them, and comes
just before the beginning of winter when
it pays for the fuel supply of the cold
days that follow.

sometimes Of the other. Legal techni-
calities have been laid aside, and the
decisions based on justice.
Some of the results OF the year may
be summarized as follows y
The practical establishment Of the
"open shop" principle; the divorcing
of the labor movement from municipal
politics.; the abolishment Of the sym
pathetic strike by the building trades
and the teamsters. .. -. ts<:~ #
In addition TO these, cases are now
in the courts which will decide
whether or not the boycott as prac-
tised by the unions is legal.
Cancellation, arbitration, no dis
elimination; the open shop, no limita-
ton of output" represent in terse
way the advance of the year in the
labor field. These represent in the
main, successes for-the unions, though
the employers are represented espe;
cially by the "open shop" and mo
limitation of output z points. With
these points virtually settled it is hard
to see anything but brighter skies for
Chicago in the year to come.

boy who asks it, but must limit the
number to one for every five men en-
ployed, and in the majority of cases
the unions reserve the right to name
the apprentices.
This has forced the boys of the city
from the workshops into the Offices,
with the result that the wages Of
clerical help is on the downward
grade, and bookkeepers and clerks of
untried ability can be hired for song.
But tits an Ill wind that blows no
one good, and the rule has filed the
business colleges with students. Chi
cago has at the present time about
one dozen institutions engaged in
teaching business courses, and into
this dozen institutions there are
crowded 1000 students each year. They
are studying bookkeeping. stenog-
raphy, mathematics and penmanship.
Each year these 1000 students are
dropped in business Offices in the city
with exalted ideas Of their worth to
employers
But the old rule from Office boy to
manager" still holds good, and it is
safe to say that seven out Of every ten
holding responsible positions worked
up from the bottom. 1t is day of ex-
perts, but every line of business and
industry trains it's own experts.
And the Office clerical forces, what
of them? They may organize a union
of their own some day.

might well set his mind at rest, says the
Chicago Tribune. The last year whose
digits compose 13 was 1S40. and it was
about the dullest, most uneventful year
of the century. There was nothing
wonderful" about it. Queen Victoria
got married, penny postage was intro
duced in England. President Harrison
was elected, the Mormons founded Maui
VOC, the opium war with China was
brought to an end, and William 7. of Hol-
land abdicated. Nearly every other
year in the nineteenth century was more
an "annus mirabilis'' than 1910. And
1904, the preceding "13" year in the list,
was not as wonderful as 1910.
But what is there specially wonder
full" about 1908 that should make this
correspondent so pessimistic? Do we
not have unreasonable weather every
year? Surprising the bottom of the
stock market has fallen out. Has there
not been marked activity in all lines of
legitimate business? Have the mishaps
of speculation been reflected in trade in
dustry? Has the assassination In
Servia created ripple in the political
or diplomatic world of Europe? The
Roman pontiff is dead. He was old and
he was mortal. Was not his death sig
niflcant, however, In it's revelation Of
the unity of Christian sentiment and
sympathy? As to crime, it is no more
rampant this year than it was last year,
only certain unusual circumstances in
certain unusual places have called spe-
cial attention to it. In the long fight Of
time one year averages up very like an
other year. The wonderful years. are
