Department of Agriculture Makes Experiments
With Watermelon Wilt.

DIR. B. w. Kilgore, the State Chemist, is con-
Quoting a test for watermelon wilt at Auburn.
The watermelon wilt is becoming very prevalent
in the State, having entered at the southeastern
end, and is extending north and westward. This
disease is due to a fungus which lives in the soil
and enters the roots and stems of the plant, and
cuts off the circulation, so that the melon willis
and dies in a very short time for want of plant
food and water. There is no known way at pres
ent of preventing the disease. Fifty to seventy
five per cent of the melon crop in the Auburn
Garner section was lost last year because of this
disease.
In co-operaion with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture twenty acres of melons are
being grown near Auburn, including over two hun
dred varieties of domestic and foreign melons.
with a view of finding, if possible, a kind of melon
which will withstand the disease. A similar dis
ease attacks cotton and the cowpea, and varieties
of these crops have been obtained which are not
subject to the disease. 1t is hoped to find a good
melon which will resist the wilt, as this is thought
to be the only means of growing melons success
fully where he disease has obtained a foot-hold.
Already melons are dying badly in that section
this year, which is a noted one for this crop, and
farmers are blowing up their melons and planting
corn. An expert in plant diseases will watch the
experiment and study the disease in the field dur
ing the growing season.-News and Observer.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-06-28

in a community could meet and adopt the plan as
a unit, were they sufficiently interested. It is
entirely feasible, and as shown by actual observa-
ton, will certainly be ~effectaul, the care being to
so grade the burning that it shall not ruin the
field for next years vines.
Old fields from which the last crop has been
gathered should at once be run over with a mower
and then burned as severely as possible. The
land may then be plowed deeply to bury whatever
insects remained and sowed to peas or other
crops.
CLEAN CULTURE.
The general clean culture of strawberry fields
has often recommended by Investigators as a
means of dealing with this pest. Our observa-
tion is that our growers are already in the habit
of giving the berries the best of culture for other
obvious reasons-but we find even in the b~est-kept
fields that the borders and ditch banks are often
allowed to run freely to dewberry vines, and here
the weevils multiply undisturbed. It is needless
to say that it would at least do no harm to keep
these places clean by frequent burnings.
sPRAYING WITH BORDEAUX AND PARIS GREEN.
This is an old standby in the treatment of
many fungous diseases and insect pests. Al
though our own experiment showed no benefits
from it's use in preventing weevil injury, yet a
field that is thoroughly sprayed with this material
in the spring will be kept in much more healthy
general condition than one which is not sprayed.
We feel warranted, therefore, IL giving this treat
ment a recommendation on general grounds.
COOPERATION.
1t must be said again that from the fact that
the insects has but one brood each year, and that
it is the adult, freely-fying insect that does the
injury, cooperation among the growers of an en-
tire community will be necessary to secure the
best result and this is especially the case where
the burning is to be practiced.
In conclusion, let me say that as entomologist,
I am always glad to render all possible aid to our
growers in any matter pertaining to insects. 1t
is our hope to continue work with this insect
and, we hope to enlist the real, enthusiastic, and
earnest cooperation of the growers. I hope that
some of them may be able, next winter, to settle
finally, the question as to just where the insect
hibernates.

"STATUMANIA" IN FRANCE,
Mania Possesses the People to Erect
Memorials to Persons of
Little Note.

From time to time one sees feeble
protest in the Paris press against
what is known as statumania, l. e.,
the mania for erecting statues, says a
Paris correspondent of the London
Globe. 1 once asked Frenchman why
his countrymen were so fond of put
ing up statues to mediocrities. His
reply was in these terms: There are
so many sculptors in France that it is
difficult to find employment for them
all. Besides, we like statues. and the
man who organizes committee for a
statue to one of his friends is certain
to be allowed an opportunity of max
ing a speech-an Grafton he would call
it-when the day comes for the unveil-
ing. Perhaps he may be fortunate
enough to obtain a decoration. And
when he dies he hopes somebody else
will do as much for him." I think the
answer was a genuine one, for I re-
member on one occasion when l went
to the ministry of the interior to see
functionary there, he told me the fol-
lowing story in illustration of the
weakness of his countrymen for deco.

"'What name?'

'Thirty-five.'

"'Then there is no hope Of finding
him."
Which means that there are so many
men with decorations in France that
the man without one is more easily
identified.

eventually forced to discontinue it I'M
til he returned to England.
But, although he was not practicing
his art, his residence in India had its
compensating advantages. 1t afforded
him ample opportunities, of which he
was not slow to avail himself, OF
studying the wild denizens Of the jur.-
gle, which he loves to portray.
The silhouette must necessarily
leave much to the Imagination there
Is no shading to relieve the 1atness OF
the picture. All depends on the per-
lection of the outline to convey an I'M
preston of depth, so that the minds
eye may fill in the details.
Stays are, perhaps, the most diff
cult of all animals to delineate correct
ly. The perspective of the horns
changes with the slightest turn of the
head; the very gracefulness of the
body and the slender legs are bor-
rowed from a certain ungainliness, SO
to gay, shown in their various attt-
tudes.
To glance at the illustrations of this
article one would imagine that the
artist who "scissored" these out OF

draughtsman.

Without answering directly, the CAL

bride or saddle, and how you all
thought he would be killed; and how
Caleb ran into the woods across the
creek and tried to scrape him off
against the crooked old Eastwood tree

This is problem that even the art

SUSPENDERS AND SUSPENSE
What Uncle Sam Needs the Former

Speaker.

A certain congressman from a mountain
district, says the New York Sun, is trou-
bled with weak, squeaky little voice,
which sometimes fails in the midst of
what might otherwise be an eloquent per-
Grafton.
Recently in addressing the house on a
matter connected with tariff, he ex-
claimed:
why, tariffs are like a pair of suspen-
ders, sometimes tight and sometimes loose;
but Uncle Sam needs them just the same,
to keep up his"
Here the congressman's voice struck
high treble note, fared and stopped.
The house held it's breath while he
cleared his throat. The suspense, which
seemed to last for fully minute, was
more painful to the auditors than to the
orator, for everyone was wondering
whether he would say trousers" or
''pants," and some were even hoping that
he might say ''pantaloons." Even "oyer-
ais would be better than pants" for
pants" is most supplementary.
, But all fears were without foundation.
He cleared his throat with the greatest
care, and in death-like stiffness resumed
his Grafton where he had dropped it: ito

The words which followed were lost
forever in a gale of laughter.

A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause OF

finally I gave up all hopes Of ever being

WINGED it was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then wouldn't believe
it until one day we got out of Postum
and as we lived two miles from town
thought to use the coffee we had In the
house.
"The result of a weeks use Of coffee
again was that had another terrible
spell of agony and distress proving that
it was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled it and I said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum alone has
been our hot mealtime drink.

A COUNTRY SONG.

While the willow spreads her honey.
Come away!
Birds are singing, banks are sunny:
Come away!
Leave the city's toll and thunder
For the bright, enhancing wonder
OF the May, May. May.
In green fields are young lambs bleating
Grove and coppice laugh their greeting,
Every steep an orchard seems,
Made for beauty, love and dreams:
Come away!
In the flush OF summer weather
Come away!
Youth and gladness yours together
For a day.
Seek the meadows. azure-tented,
Dusky, coaxing. myriad-scented
With the hay, hay, hay.
Down the windows tumbled mazes
Crickets chirp the sun-gods praises;
There the firetiy's restless spark
Braids its pattern on the dark:
Come away!
When the hoar-frosts Grip and whiten,
Come away!
Then the skies and forests brighten:
Come away!
Winds are whistling, nuts are falling,
Loud at dawn the marsh-hawk calling,
And the jay, jay, jay.
Autumn. wreathed with leaf and berry,
Treads a measure wild and merry;
Court her blessings ere they fly:
Storms will rout you by and by
Come away!
