Study the picture carefully before
reading the following account"
ut is from the attack of the disease
on the pods that the most direct and
apparent damage to the crop results.
During the time of blossoming and
previous, the fungus has been spread
ing and becoming established on the
stems and leaves, and IL now attacks
the young succulent pods. With their
tender growing tissue full of water
and food materials, these pods offer
the best conditions for the growth and
development of the parasite. Spores
from the spots on the leaves and
stems fall on the pods, where, in the
presence of moisture and the high
summer temperature, they terminate,
forming a little sprout or germ-tube,
which penetrates the tender skin of
the pod and, branching in the juicy
tissues, gives rise to an anthracnose
canker. These first appear as little
brown or rusty spots which enlarge
and darken until nearly or quite
black. The dead tissue dries and set
ties, causing little pit or sunken
place in the pod. In the center OF the
spot the spores of the fungus are now
produced in great abundance. They
ooze out and pile up, forming little
pink masses easily seen with the
naked eye. These masses of spores
are held together by kind OF glue or
mucilage which, when dry, sticks
them tightly to the spot. When a drop
of rain or dew falls on the spot the
mucilage is at once dissolved, and

Growers seldom recognize the disease
on the seedlings as that with which
they are familiar on the pods and

the blackened stubs of badly diseased
seedlings, and have thought the in

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.

To the Editor - Sir:-Doubtless
many OF your readers will be pleased
TO have some word from the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such
large number OF Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. II Is pleasing to be able TO re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; II will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
80 bushels to the acre, and others
where so bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
OF all grains will bring to the farmers
magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice OF a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat Is grown-who
made net profit of s1955 per acre. or
little less than the selling price OF his
land. 30, 40, and so bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are 80 we'll adapted to EMBARRASSING.
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.
The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908.
attracted thousands of new settlers. 1t
is now possible to secure 100 acres in
addition to the 100 acres as free
grant, by paying $500 an acre for 1t.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as TO the railway rates can be Sc

the spores are set free in the water.
At this time any disturbance of the
bean plants will scatter these spores
in the flying drops of water. In this
way they reach healthy plants near
by. This explains why beans should
not be cultivated or handled in the
early morning while the dew is still
on them or directly after a shower.
The spores of the anthracnose fungus
are scattered only when they are wet.
This will also explain why warm
rainy season is so favorable to the de-
velopment of the fungus. The spores
require moisture in which to be dis
tributed and in which to terminate.
A relatively high temperature is also
most favorable to the disease. The
spores are produced in limited mum
bers in the spots on the pod.
Considering the manner in which
the fungus finds its way into the seed,
1t seems evident that IL no spots are
to be found on the pods, none of the
seed within will be diseased That is
to say, healthy pods contain healthy
seed.
Several investigators have reported
remarkable results from spraying with
Bordeaux mixture. After three sea
sons observations In large bean fields
where the most up-to-date machinery
is used, machinery particularly adapt
ed for the bean crop, the writer Is
forced to the opinion that spraying
with Bordeaux mixture is, to say the
very least, Improbable.

NOW NUMBER ELEVEN
Two More Bodies Found on Gun
ness Farm at Laporte, Ind.
BURIED IN THE SAME GRAVE
Remains Believed to Be Those of
Man and Woman and Were Under
Ground for Probably TWO Years.
Crowds Flock to Scene Of Crimes.

Laporte, Ind, May Two more
bodies have been unearthed at the
Guinness farm in a grave near the
spot where three of the four bodies
were exhumed Wednesday. The first
to be turned up is undoubtedly that of
a grown male and the second is be-
ieVed to be the bones of woman.
The rain having ceased the diggers
were put to work at an early hour. A
soft spot under pile of refuse was
selected sc the most promising place
to begin operations. The digger had
not been long at his task when he
turned up a spadeful of bones and be-
fore o'clock the body, that of a full
grown male, had been entirely ex-
posed. 1t is believed that the body
has been underground about two
years.
The second skeleton was found in
the same place and directly under
meath the first, with an intervening
space of earth. The bones are much
smaller and thought to be those of a
woman. , .@.
Thus far only three of the eleven
bodies have been identified. The
known victims are: Jennie Olsen, the
sixteen-year-old foster daughter of
Mrs. Guinness; Andrew Helgelein of
Mansfield. S. D., and Ole O. Budsberg
of lola, Wis.
Two female corpses and those of six
males yet remain unidentified. De-
spite the searching Investigations Of
the sheriff and states attorney there
is as yet almost no clue to the identity
of these remains. Their task is COM
plicated by the fact that the bodies
have been in the ground for at least
eighteen months.
The news that digging operations
were to be resumed brought large
crowd of the curious and sightseers to
the scene. AS early as a. m. bug
gies, hacks, wagons and all sorts Of
conveyances started for the farm and
by o'clock more than thousand
people gathered at the scene of the
crimes.
Farmers from the surrounding coun-
try places, merchants, clerks and
townspeople from adjacent towns and
villages and visitors from far away
cities made up the crowd that morbid
ly watched the diggers as they monot-
onously turned over the earth.

days when they were only wooden rods

which connects ''book" directly with
beech" both having been "boc' in

"Buchstaben," the German word for
letters Of the alphabet, means literally
"beech staves." Many book words go
back to such vegetable origin. The
Latin ''liber," book, whence comes
our library" was properly the inner

the presence of the teacher which has
a direct and immediate tendency to
influence the conduct of the other pu-
