WEST GARDINER.

Quite n number of homes bordering
on the shores of Cobbossee are being
put in order for summer guests and
boarders. The outlook is that rural
life will occupy its true place at the
head of all modes of living. and it is
to be appreciated in the future as it
has never been in the past. The as
ISOLATION of city people during their
summer sojourn with the rural people
will result in the adoption by the form
er of more sensible ideas of living
than they would otherwise have. and
will bring the latter culture and re-
finement that would come in no other
way.
A drama is to be presented fast night

the program.

especially sown for the purpose of rails

the seed for forcing crop Of toma-
toes in the month of August. The
young Seeding plants, as soon as they
develop the first true leaves, are then
transplanted from the seed bed to
small pots, preferably three inch pots.
They are planted deeply at this time
and are kept growing rapidly, but not
sufficiently to produce a soft, succulent
growth. AS soon as the three inch pots
are filled with roots the plants are
shifted to four inch pots, and when
the plants have attained height of
twelve or fifteen inches and have de-
veloped their first blossoms they are
usually placed on the benches of the
greenhouse. where they are to produce
their crop. The plants are then set
fifteen or eighteen inches apart each
way.
Cuttings should be taken from
strong. healthy vigorous growing pants
in the field and placed in the cutting
bed about the last of August, where

the roots have developed to length
of from one-half TO one inch the young
plants are shifted TO three or four inch

formed or the blossoms have expand

TOBACCO ACREAGE.
Important Correction Made on the
Preliminary Report.

Important Correction Made on the
Preliminary Report
The bureau of statistics has issued
final report on the tobacco acreage
Referring to the preliminary report al
ready published, it Is explained that
this report, as made up and published
showed II large increase In. the acreage
over that of the preceding year in the
Burley district of Kentucky, Ohio, In-
diana and West Virginia and in the
"Regie" or dark district of Kentucky
and Tennessee. 1t is now stated that
as shown by careful examination, the
apparently large ih"rease in acreage
reported in the two districts mentioned
was not warranted by thc Information
obtained from the correspondents of
the bureau, but was due to three I'M
detected errors In the computations
made while the office was temporarily
administered in the absence Of a chief
statiStician or an associate statistician.
The final report further states that
1.-THE corrected figures for those dis
tricts show a much smaller acreage
than that indicated in the preliminary
report and are substantated by the
figures of the final report, which is
based on the returns from the regular
county and township correspondents of
the bureau of statistics The figures of
this final report are in strict conform
ity to the information gwen by the bu-
reaus correspondents.
"In the cigar tobacco districts Wis
cOnsin alone shows a decrease from the
acreage Of the preceding season. 9th
err increases in the acreage are prac-
tically confined to the parts of the dis
trict raising bright yellow tobacco,
which are included in the new belt of
North Carolina and South Carolina aud
to the eastern Ohio export district"

Quite a number of inquiries have
been sent in to the Rhode Island eX-
pertinent station in regard to the dying
of heads of timothy, redtop and other
grasses. The condition is properly
known as white top or silver top and
is not uncommon at any time, espe-
cially in blue grass. 1t is more preya-
lent than usual this year, and a greater
number of varieties of grass are af-
fected. 1t is caused by very small
insect belonging to the class called
thrips. The common name is grass
thrips The dying of the tops of the
grass stems is due to the work of the
young of this insect, which lives in
side the leaf sheaths, especially the
upper ones. The insect lives by suck
ing the juices of the tender tissues, and
the portion of the plant above the last
Joint is most liable to attack; hence
the whitening of the head.
