DRYING WEATHER.
Corn Very Sensitive to the Condition
Of the Atmosphere.

In the drying of corn In the cribs
the condition of the weather counts
for far more than most people sup
pose. The corn seems almost like a
sponge. the way 1t pulls in moisture
from the atmosphere. In some ex-
periments carried on by the Univer-
sity of Illinois. the corn in two cribs
was weighed every week from Janu-
airy Z, 1904. to November 10 of the
same year. A record was kept of the
condition of the weather and its effect
was clearly noticed in the shrinkage
or gain in weight of the approximately
10000 pounds Of corn. During the
week from January to January IA
the weather was clear and mild and
the corn increased in weight 100
pounds. That is. 1t actually absorbed
that weight of water from the atmos.
phere. The next week was cloudy and
the corn absorbed As pounds more of
water. The next two weeks were dry.
with snow. and the corn lost 2O5
pounds Of water. From July Z to July
IA the wind was mostly in the south
and the weather was damp. The corn
added to itself IT'S pounds of water.
The week from September % to Sep
TENDER 20 was reported as dry and
hot. but the corn added to itself 1s5
pounds of water. The moisture must
have been excessive In the atmos.
phere. A record of the moisture con-
ditions of the atmosphere would be
a good thing to go with the report of
weather conditions. in comparing rec.
ords of shrinkages and gains in
weight of stored corn.

BITTER ROT IN APPLES.
Methods Of Combating This Trouble
some Disease.

The following conclusions as to the
best method of fighting this disease
are given in a recent bulletin of the
United States department of agricul
ture:
/. Bitter-rot can be completely con
trolled by proper applications of Dor
deaux mixture. 1913 to $50 per cent. OF
sound fruit having been saved by such
treatment in these experiments. while
the checks rotted completely.
2. Four applications. when made
just at the right time. are sufficient to
control the disease satisfactorily. but
In order to be sure Of covering the in
lection periods one or two additional
applications may be necessary.
3. The applications should be made
at intervals of two weeks, beginning
about six weeks after the trees bloom.
4. 1t Is necessary to spray the trees
thoroughly. coating the fruit on all
sides with fine mist-like applications.
s. Other diseases. such as scab,
leaf-spots. and sooty-blotch. may be
controlled in connection with the treat
ment of bitter-rot.
spray the trees thoroughly with Bor-
deaux mixture at intervals of two
weeks until Ave applications have been
made. beginning not later than 40 days
after the petals have fallen.
For the combined treatment of ap-
ple-scab and bitter-rot, spray the trees
with Bordeaux mixture "a just before
they bloom (but after the cluster buds
have opened and exposed the flower
buds); (2) as soon as the petals fall:
(3) a week or ten days later; "a
about 40 to so days after the shedding
of the petals. and at intervals of two
weeks thereafter until. in all, seven or
eight applications have been made.

Strike Weapon Ineffective.
After reviewing the labor conditions

strikes and lockouts. costing in 1903.
DR.. Bushnell says. $55.000.0O0 in loss
of wages and profits, he continues:
Heroic, though often misguided. as
have been the industrial struggles of
the labor unions for better wages and
living conditions. they are beginning
to be less successful with the methods
of the strike than in former years.
Last year the unions met with I'm
usual defeat in the case of many of
their larger strikes. This is due to
three causes-growing organization of
the employers in opposition to the
unions, the use of the injunction and
union liability rulings by the courts,
and the disapproval of open violence
and Industrial disorder by the public.
BY these means some foolishly think
the unions are now finished. But the
end is not yet. Defeated by financial
means, they are turning rapidly into
politics, mainly toward the radical
party, where their numbers ultimately
must cause their voice to be needed
and their righteous demands to be
granted"

TOWN HELPS.

It is easy to estimate the business
importance of a place by the appear
ance of its stores. Dingy, dirty APP
pearing business places always give
bad impression and are generally indi-
cative of the character of the business
men of the town.
Good newspapers are important fac
tors in building of towns. Well filled
advertising pages, as well as local
news pages speak for the prosperity
of a place and makes an impression
upon the readers that assist the town
to greater prosperity.
Large trees grow from little seeds.
A small industry in a town may not
ing 1t may develop into an enterprise
of national Importance. In every
manufacturing undertaking there is a
turning point that means failure or
success. Each small industry that Is
established in a town should receive
the most careful attention of the
towns-people and be given the support
that 1t should have in order to make 1t
successful.
Commercial clubs are important fac
tors in the development of resources
of small towns. To the farmer the
commercial club of the home town is
as important as 1t is to those residing
within the limits of the town. 1t is
the aim of the club to improve the
town and in doing SO 1t must benefit
the surrounding country. Thus We
see plainly the reason why the pro-
gressive farmer should take as much
interest in the town commercial club
as II he were a resident of the town.

What is the secret of the control OF the
