a citizen of Washington, a gentleman
prominent in all lines of horticultural
work, berry growing, vegetable grow
ing, etc., is quietly conducting an in
teresting experiment of his own touch
ing the cause and cure of tomato
blight. He believes he made some
discoveries that other experimenters
have not made, but he will permit no
publication of his work until he is
satisfied that his theory is correct.
Five years ago this gentleman was
as positive as Prof. Paddock is now
that tomato blight was entirely due
to a fungus, but since he undertook
his present experiment he is not so
sure that we know the real cause of
the blight.
1t would give The Ranch great
pleasure to be allowed to publish the
work that the gentleman has done
so far, but he will not permit it until
he has carried out his experiments.
Should his theories prove correct he
will give to the world some facts not
now known concerning the blighting
of the tomato and the remedies that
should prove effacious.

realize that they save time by taking
just a few minutes off to rest their
tired bodies they would find how re-
freshing and invigorating little genu-
inc rest now and then is. When tired,
especially in the summer time, put
few drops of witch hazel in basin
of luke warm water, rinse the face,
neck, arms and hands in it, give the
hair a few strokes with the brush, re-
adjust the hairpins, slip off the shoes
and stockings, and put on others and
you will certainly be repaid. The lady
writing this says she has done it so
often herself, and knows what she is
talking about. If possible, throw your
selves down fiat on your back, on bed
or couch for five or ten minutes, as
often during the day as you can.
Your energies will be so renewed and
refreshed that you will be ready to
start over, and accomplish much more
than if you dragged on, and on, until
you are not fit to look after children,
house, or anything else. Do not for
get the old, but equally true saying,
that a stitch in time saves nine.

THE BLIGHT ON TOMATOES.

Prof Paddock, of the Colorado agri-
cultural college, has been making
some Investigations into the disease
among tomatoes known as the blight.
He says that plants which have made
fairly good growth gradually remain
small and ripen prematurely. Other
plants die in the earlier stages of
growth and, in fact, all sorts of con-
ditions may be seen in the field. The
disease is widespread, he adds, and
the loss to the growers is considerable.
Investigations in regard to the cause
of the blight were begun at the Colo
RADIO station some time ago, and, ac-
cording to Prof. Paddock, the result
of the work points strongly to the &C
copied theory that the disease is due
to a fungus, which attacks the plants
for the most part in the seed bed.
"This being the case," to quote the
professor, there can be no remedy
for the plant after it is once attacked.
This is true, for the reason that the
fungus grows on the inside of the
plants and evidently enters only the
rootlets of young plants. By examin-
ing the tissues of young plant with
a microscope, the threads of the flung
us may be seen clogging the cells
where they interfere with the pass
age of food material.
cat the present time, then, we see
no hope of ever being able to combat
this blight successfully in the field.
But we do hope to find a method of
prevention by improving the sanitary
condition of the seed beds. With
II. - vi h01inun If will
pay to thoroughly clean and disinfect
the frames or flats in which the seeds
are planted. This may be done by
washing or spraying all of the parts,
after the dirt and soil have been re-
moved, with strong solution of cop
per sulphate. Then fresh soil and
manure should be procured, which
should also be steriliZed. This can be
best done by steam. This may be
done at small cost by fitting up a
small system of two-inch iron pipes
which are to be placed in the bottom
of a bed made for the purpose. Three
ten or twelve-foot lengths of pipe
will be ample, and small holes must
be drilled in them about six inches
apart to allow steam to escape. The
pipes are now placed parallel to each
other and connected at both ends, so
that they are about Is inches apart.
The apparatus may be connected to
traction engine or other available
source of steam supply Soil should
be filled into the bed over the pipes
to the depth of about one foot, then
the surface covered with gunny sacks
or some similar material. If steam is
turned on for an hour, the low organ
isms will be killed, and plants which
will be practically free from blight
should be raised in soil which has
been treated in this manner"
Prof. Paddock adds that the expert
ments at the Colorado station are by
no means completed, but he believes
that any method which will control
the tomoto blight must be along the
lines suggested above. The expert
ments now under way are being
studied, and the growers of tomatoes
will await the report of the result with
much interest, for the question is
vexatious one and every one who
raises a tomato would like to have

KNOX SPEECH STIRS GOSSIP.
Address to Yale Men known to Ex-
press Senator's Ideas.

Ever since Senator Philander G. Knox
wrote the speech which he delivered be-
fore the Yale Law School Monday. his
close friends have known that it was in
tended as the keynote Of his campaign
for the Presidential nomination.
While the Title Of the address was THE
development Of the Federal power to
regulate commerce. suggestive Of his
torical review rather than a treatment Of
present and future conditions, the re-
marks Of the Pennsylvania Senator had
a broader scope than a mere discussion
Of the commerce clause Of the Constitu-
ton.
The Constitution generally, with partic-
ular regard to the relationship between
the States and the national government.
received attention from Mr.. Knox, and his
whole argument was directed to pointing
out the necessity Of calling halt on the
tendency to construe the constitutional
power Of the Federal government too lib
orally, and to back up that tendency
with many laws.
This attitude of Senator Knox is not
new with him. He delivered a speech
along similar lines early this year at
private dinner given in his honor by
Congressman Deemer. Of Pennsylvania,
and remarks somewhat Of the same tenor
were made by him before the Americas
Club in Pittsburg last year.
He has never hesitated 10 express
views in opposition to those who have
sought to find in the Constitution almost
unlimited power TO regulate the affairs OF
the country.
