Tomato growers are interested in
the appearance to considerable ex-

damage to the crop in some localities.
The cause of the blight is not under

Examination into the matter by one
or two experiment stations seems to
indicate that development of the blight
is induced by unfavorable soil con-
ditions

The writer's orchard was given a
careful spraying last year and is being
handled in the same way this year,
with the exception that two sprayings
were given this season before the bios
SONS opened instead Of one treatment,
as last year. A very marked difference
Is noted in the greater freedom Of the
fruit from the specks and scabs which
were noticeable in quite per cent of
the fruit grown last year. This situa-
slon seems to point clearly to the two
fold early spraying instead Of the one,
which is usually recommended.

For the benefit of some OF the youn-
ger readers of this department who
may have noted the fact, but have
been at loss to account for Ii, it
might be stated that the reason why
animals which get their legs broken
are usually Killed is because they can
not be kept still long enough so that
the fracture has time enough to heal.
In other words, they are not possessed
CT judgment and discretion, and hu
man being cannot exercise it for them.

Farm animals in condition Of nor
NAL health are very good judges Of
those foods which are best for them
and from which they obtain the lar
gest per cent Of nourishment. The
eagerness Of hens, hogs, cattle and
horses for clover and alfalfa is an evi-
dence Of this. The relish they have
for rape is also an evidence of their
good judgment, the fact having been
determined lately in tests made by the
Minnesota experiment station that I'M
der average conditions the dry mat
ter in rape contains as large a per
cent Of protein as clover.

While the method our grandfathers
used in pulling onions-with the hands
and on all fours-may be a good one,
the job may be much more quickly as
well as more easily done by raking
them up carefully with a round or loop
toothed rake. The rake should be
worked at slight angle to the row Of
onions SO that the teeth will not touch
more than two or three onions at a
time. II the crop is ripened as it ought
to be- the rake will not bruise them in
the least. Two men can rake up an
acre of onions in day in this manner.

The secret Of securing the finest bios
SONS in the growing Of roses lies In
producing the largest possible amount
of new wood, this of course referring
to the tender tea varieties. This result
is attained by vigorous pruning when
the blossom is taken off, It being cut
with as long stem as possible. Nat
urally the following shoot will come

the result that it will in all probability
be vigorous, like those previously re-
moved.

one of our graduates, who Is now a
freshman in the college pursuing the
classical course, stating that his rank
in his class was second in all studies.
The school for the deaf at Devils
Lake is non-sectarian, but moral and
religious instruction is given. This
consists of few minutes talk in
chapel each morning, an hour in Sum
day school and a half hour lecture
every Sunday afternoon. The object
of the school is to educate and equip
all deaf children of the state for the
duties of useful citizenship. Every
thing in the matter of food, medical
attendance, books, tuition, etc., is pro-
vided free by the state which sup
ports the institution by appropriation.
The establishment of the school ic
plainly necessity inasmuch as the
deaf are so scattered, and that owing
to their defective hearing and inabil-
ity to speak it is impossible for them
to receive instruction in schools for
the hearing. 1t therefore becomes the
duty Of the state to see to It that
they are given the same consideration
as hearing children. The state in
stitution is the outgrowth of this duty.
And that it is worthy Of establish
ment goes without saying. The state
is thus protecting itself against paup-
ers, for all educated deaf people easily
take their places in the world and give
back to the state in taxes and good
citizenship that which was expended
in their education. 1t is therefore
most landable cause.

deaf is not thereby jeopardized. This
tendency on the part of educators of
the deaf to be more thoughtful of the
happiness of the deaf has resolved
the problem of methods into a sys-
TEN known as the Combined, which
favors all methods, applying the one
to the individual case as seems most
profitable to his advancement. This
system includes instruction by means
of signs, lip-reading, writing, manual
spelling and pictures. The adoption
of it has been the means of bringing
about peace among the factions in
favor of any one method.
l will now pass on to the State
school located at Devils Lake and
trace it's career, object, etc., as briefly
as possible. The school was estab-
lished more than a dozen years ago.
Its first building was frame dwelling
situated in town. Then through the
influence of good men, the legislature
appropriated the sum of ten thousand
dollars for the erection of perman-
ent brick building on a knoll less than
half mile outside Of the city proper.
The first superintendent was deaf
man, and when he resigned the direc-
tors of the school unanimously elect
ed the present incumbent, Mr.. Dwight
F. Bangs to guide the destinies
of the young institution. From
time to time new additions were made
to the main building and other i'm
provements added to the grounds until
today it may be ranked among the
best equipped schools of it's kind in

the country. Expert instructors are
employed in the school rooms, and the
shops and the educational character
Of the institution has been placed on
plane second to none in the country.
The graduates of the school are self
supporting and Industrious citizens
who are contributing their share to
the support of good government
through taxes which are levied upon
them as we'll as normal people who
possess property. Seven of the grad
yates have passed the entrance exam
nations to Gallondet (NationaD Col
lege for the deaf, located at Washing
ton, d. c., and which is supported
by the United States government Two
of them are still there and in due
time will receive their bachelors de-
gree. The ability of the State school
for the deaf to thus send its gradu-
ates to such a high educational insti-
tuition (Which contains the cream of
the graduates of all state deaf-mute
schools throughout the United States)
speaks we'll for the attachments of
our young and promising school. Only

\. OAK. STATE SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF.
LOCATED AT DEVILS LAKE.

Supt. D. F. Bangs has furnished
the Evening Times with the follow
ing descriptive article of the North
Dakota estate School for Deaf, which
is located at Devils Lake, and of
which probably the great majority of
people of the state are uniformed:
While several attempts to instruct
the deaf were made since the begin
ming of the sixteenth century, the Able
D l'Epee was the first to inaugurate
systematic instruction for them. Down
to this time only the deaf offsprings
Of the very rich were given instruc-
ton. The success of De l'Epee was
so marked that he received the ap-
prevail Of the French academy and the
Royal Courts Of Europe before which
he had exhibited his methods. The
present system Of sign language is
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-02

an improved device of his own means
of teaching written language. This
language was developed upon the
theory of one Garden of Paris, in
1901 that all communication of ideas
is carried on by means of conven-
tional symbols and that when two or
more persons agree upon symbol
whether spoken, written, pictured or
signal, it conveys thought which is
the function of language. This theory
was the means of enabling De lEpee
to invent the sign language and to
use it in educating the deaf and dumb.
The system having had its first trial In
France and found to be of value, was
known as the French system, or the
French idea of teaching written lang
uage to deaf-mutes by means of pan
tomine.
In 1860 man named Heinecke in
Germany came forth with the argu-
ment that there could be no intellect
ual growth without speech. To prove
his theory he set up a school and be-
gan to teach his deaf pupils by means
of articulation. He was successful
to certain extent, but while he has
at the present time large following.
it has been proved that 1t is utterly
impossible to educate all the deaf
by means of an artificial language.
On the other hand the natural
language of signs, SO universal
~ used by the deaf and which
seems to be a God-sent language
since all deaf-mute children resort
to It as soon as they are able to walk,
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-01-02

In connection with the intellectual
department, shops are established
wherein every deaf child old enough
is taught a trade SO that he can use
it as a means of livelihood. Some
are taught printing some carpentry
and cabinet making, etc. The girls
are taught plain sewing, dressmak-
ing, homework and domestic science.
Five teachers are employed. All
of these received their training for
the work in other schools. The COM
bined system of instruction is en-
ployed. Every child is given a chance
to learn articulation but when it is
apparent that progress is unsatisfac-
tory he is placed in manual class,
where he learns language by other
avenues. A new world is thus opened
to these children of silence many an
imprisoned intellect is freed from the
deep, dark depths of ignorance and
consequent moral degeneracy. The
State of North Dakota has done and
is doing its duty in looking after its
deaf wards by establishing and main
tanning the school for their special
instruction. 1t is worthy institution
not a charity-and a pride to the
taxpayers of the state.

and that as readily as do normal chill
dren use their mother tongue) is
most generally used in awakening Ill
them new thought and the power to
express themselves in clear, grammat-
ical Englich. In this connection I
may say that where free use of signs
is allowed lin some schools for the
deaf they are restricted) the mental
development is correspondingly in
creased, and the happiness of these
poor handicapped children is thereby
promoted to the extent of lessening
the anguish of living in a world of
perpetual silence. This standpoint
seems to be gaining in favor and the
liberal minded heads of schools for
the deaf now recognize that one meth
hod of instruction is as good as an
other provided the happiness of the
