Tomato wilt.

Wilt of the tomato principally a
southern trouble, is due to three dis
tinct parasites. The frSarium wilt,
most prevalent in southern Florida,
compels rotation of crops. Tomatoes
In this section should not be planted
on the same land oftener than once in
four or five years. The sclerotium
wilt attacks tomatoes and many other
vegetables In the gulf states and re-
quircs rotation Of crops and the de-
struction of diseased plants. In the
autumn dead plants and decaying mat
ter of all kinds should be removed
from the garden and burned. The bac-
terial wilt. the most common tomato
disease from northern Florida to Mary
land, is spread mainly by leaf eating
insects, though the infection probably
remains in the land as well. Spraying
with bordeaux mixture and paris
green, together with the destruction Of
diseased plants as soon as observed, Is
advised.-L. G. Corbett.

SCHOOL STATISTICS or MUCH INTEREST.
Figures Presented to Legislature by superin.
tendent o. B. Martin.

In his annual report to the General
Assembly, proof sheets of which he gave
Co the visiting teachers this week, Hon.
o. B. Martin, State Superintendent of
Education, gives interesting figures in
regard to the enrollmer of pupils in the
public schools of the State.
There were in the schools of the State
for the fiscal year ending June 3Oth,
1905, a total of 14l 1901 white children and
1927 colored, a grand total of 3O2,663.
For the same period for the fiscal
year 1904 there were enrolled 1885,
'NS27 whites and 158. .5ss oolored, making a
kl7rand total of 292,l15. This shows a
gain of 5,s84 white children and of 1881
colored children.
There were 2,86l white schools and
$3.50 negro schools with an average of
80 white pupils and 70 colored to a
school. The average number of white
pnpils to q ateacher was So; colored g..
The white schools showed an average of
PAT weeks for session while the colored
schools had 1876. The number of schools
showed an increase of white and ID
colored over the year preceding.
The receipts and expenditures for the
fiscal year 1905 were as follows:
Receipts: Poll tax, $1s9,eO1; 3-mill
tax, $819, ,s63.SO; dispensary fund, $780,
971.42; extra levy, $236, 1O9.7l; other
sources, $50, 5000; total, 81, ,8sl ,59954.
Expenditures: Teachers, $1,0S9, ,2S0.12;
total expenditures, $t,304 ,829.l4; balance
on hand June 80, 1905, was $376, ,87O.1O.
Receipts fiscal year, 1904: Poll tax,
$1S5,541.O1; 3-mill tax, $594, ,212.7l; dis
pensary, $238, 1852; extra levy, $780,
s6s.25; other sources, S43,535.15; total
revenue, $l,5e5, 1854, All increase for
1905 of $4,000 in round numbers.
1t will be observed that for the fiscal
year 1905 the dispensary profits are
nearly as much as for the year preceding
when really this does not represent the
profits of the dispersary for the calendar
year running from January to January,
and from the evidence brought out in
the dispensary investigation the school
fund may show falling off in dispensary
profits for the fiscal year ending June
Both, 1905.
Following is the enrolment by coun-
ties for the fiscal year ending June 30,

Murdered Ills Family and Himself.

Rochester, Mich, January g.
Alarmed by the deserted appearance
of the farmhouse of Clarence Bar
mum, who recently located here,
neighbors broke into the house Tues
day and found Barnum, his wife, his
daughter, Louise, aged 23, and his
son, Clinton, aged 16, all lying dead.
The wife and the son and daughter
had apparently been murdered with
an axe. A single-b barrel shotgun
lying near his corpse and the fact
that his head was almost entirely
blown off showed how Barnum him
self had met his end. Mrs. Bar
NUNS body lay in the woodshed. 1t
appeared that she had been able to
resist the murderer for brief time
or at any rate had succeeded in elud-
ing him long enough to reach the
shed. But she was struck down and
met the same fate that had befallen
her son and daughter.
Barnum sold farm near Homer,
Mich, only few months ago and
located late in the season. 1t is said
that the harvest in his new home did
not meet his expectations and that
he had become despondert.

A Dangerous Weed Widely Distrib-
uted East and West.

uted East and west.
Quack grass, together with the wheat
grasses, which very nearly resemble 1t,
Is found in most parts of 1owa, east
ern North America and the Rocky
mountains. The western wheat grass.
which is the most valuable of these
grasses, ranges from The eastern slopes
Of the Rockies into western Iowa.
Some of these quack and wheat
grasses are considered of value as fod-
der, but in the majority Of cases they
are looked upon as dangerous weeds.
tho fact being that they are OF value
in pasture land, but are very undesira-
BILE in mixed farming and on arabic
land. In all parts of Iowa farmers are
viewing with considerable apprehen-
sion the steady increase of the weed
generally known as quack grass.
What II Is.
Inquiries as to the nature OF Quack
grass and the best means OF gettin Z
rid OF It are frequent, and for this
reason Information In regard to this
grass has been issued in a recent bulle-
tin by Professor Pammel Of the state
experiment station. Quack grass is
stated to be a perennial, and Its most
impressive and important feature is a
many jointed, creeping root stock,
which makes it very tenacious OF life
and extremely hard to destroy. 1t has
long been known as troublesome
weed in Europe and eastern North
America, and has probably been COM
mon In the eastern part Of the United
States for century. Quack grass is
commonly and widely distributed from
Manitoba, Minnesota and western
Iowa to Arkansas and Texas.
How to Exterminate.
Quack grass, considered as q weed,
can be exterminated by proper meth
ods Of cultivation. Henry Hatch
says: This grass grows from the
roots as well as from the seed, and
as the roots get start very quickly
In wet weather they should be dis
turbed only during a dry spell. No
matter how small or short the root
may be, it Is sure to grow IL torn loose
from the parent plant and deposited In
moist soil. Plow the field rather shall
low, then harrow 1t thoroughly with n
common lever harrow or a spring tooth
tool IL one Is handy. This will then
leave a large share of the roots lying
on the surface, and after few drying
days they cun be raked into windrows
and burned. If the work does not
seem to be through in the spring plow
again and n little deeper than before,
then harrow rake and burn as before
Probably a few roots will escape and
possibly few seeds will yet be In the
soil, so. If it can be done, some culti-
waited crop had better be grown in the
field following this treatment and all
plants that survive cultivation be de-
stroyed with hoes. This grass Is as
hard to destroy as almost anything
that grows and the only way to do it
Is to take everything out of the soil In
the way of roots, seeds, ETC., and COM
pletely destroy them by burning or rot
ting away in pile.

The statistics as to the enrolment
by races in Vhe town and country schools
is as follows:
Towns: Whites, 4O,s3s; colored, 33, 800
Country: White, 1O0,553; colored,
127,373.
Average attendance of whites in town,
27,609; in country, 65,026.
Average ATTENDANCE of colored children
in town, 2l,6S4; in the country, S6,11G.
The vast disparity between enrolment
and average attendance suggests that it
might be advisable to have school funds
apportioned upon an enrolment based
on average attendance rather than upon
the number of names on the school
teachers books. This wonld prevent
any padding of the rolls.
