Moon and the Potato Crop.

The moon has nothing to do
with the growth of potatoes, says
writer IN Success Magazine.
This statement sounds about as
self evident as a com mmeucemenG
Grafton, yet, according to a recent
investigation by the Department
of Agriculture, seventy tive per
cent. of our farmers have been
plal ting potatoes, aud other crops
according TO the almanac. 1t is
very general belief that potatoes
planted in the dark of the moon
produce the best crop, while the
full moon variety are likely to
"run to tops. ="
1t seems absurd to suppose
that respectable old moon like
ours could find nothing better TO
do than to stay up nights running
the potato crop. So Uncle San,
who has an unquenchable curios
lty in such matters began polk
ing into the moon myth and dis
covered that 1t deserves respect
only because OF its age. The Ag
ricultural Department workers
found that they could raise just
as poor potatoes IN the dark of
the moon as IN the IL hit.

Gray Moth in Wheat.

Many hundreds of thousands
of dollars worth Of wheat Is being
destroyed IN the Southeastern
counties of the State by gray
insect with so many OF the char
acterlstics of a weevil that it is
known among the farmers as a
wheat weevll. The insect is real.
lv the Angumois gray moth,
named after the province IN
France where it's activities were
first discovered.
So bad have become the raw.
ages of the pest that clubs are be
ing organized among the farmers
in IN endeavor TO ascertain the
besJ way possible of preventing
further loss. Governor Penny
packer two years ago noticed the
pest on his own and his neIS h
bors' farms and then the loss
was great because there was nc
known way of stamping out the
pest. Clubs in Chester and Lam
caster counties have come to the
conclusion that they can do
nothing to prevent the spread of
the moth.
There is a way, however, "
SAID State Zoologist Surface re.
Gently, "of saving nearly all the
wheat In fact the remedy is so
SIMPLE that l doubt not that many
farmers will not try it because
of its very simplicity. The rem
edy is this: Tnresh the wheat as
soon as possible after harvesting.
The loss then will be hardly any
thing.
"Now that the harvest time IS
here and the price of wheat is
way up 1t is very important that
tnC iarmers living IN the afflicted
districts should thresh their
wheat as quickly as possible. 1t
should not be stacked or shocked
and kept until Fall for by that
time the moth Will have destroyed
most Of it,"

Farmers Will Benefit.

The Washington Post says: In
the Investigations of the commits
sion on country life, bad roads
were found TO be one of the main
reasons of the isolation of the
farmer, and responsible, directly
and indirectly, for many of the
drawbacks Of rural life. No mat
ter how fertile the soil or how
favorable the climate, the farmer
cannot make material headway
toward prosperity without i'm.
proved roads. Bad roads mean
isolation from school, church and
market, and as consequence, no
great social, moral or mental up.
lift can be expected until the $50
lation enforced by ill kept road )
is done away with by improved
means of communication.
Road building is becoming a
science, and instead of having
work done under the incompetent
direction of county or town Off
cials, the States are assuming the
responsibility Of control, with ex
cellent results. In Massachu-
sets road making under the su
pervlsion of State officials has
become an art, and, as a conse
quence, the Old Bay State IS ere
atlng system OF highways which
has few equals anywhere.
incidentally, as direct result
of the construction OF good roads,
the value Of country property in
Massachusetts has rapidly IN
creased. New York, New Jersey,
Maryland and Virginia have re
cognized the value of centralized
scientific control Of road construC
toe, and the results are Justify
ing the method. In practically
every case greatly increased farm
values have followed the improve
ment Of the roads.

Pensioners and Their Longevity.

According to recent es innate
OF the War Department, the mum
Der OF men who participated in
the Civil War and were alive at
It's close was 1862, 173, including
dcserters. 1t gives an estimate
of the survivors for each year
since then and sets down 66j, S32
as the number alive in 1909. That
seem TO be a remarkable show.
ing. That three-eighths of the
men who emerged from that try.
ing struggle should be alive A
yeal S later is really wonderful.
Several things however have con.
trlbuted TO that result. In the
first place the veterans of the Civ
il War are better cared for than
the average men o. their age in
the community. They enjoy the
benefit of liberal pension laws; in
addition they are preferred under
many State as well as Nationai
laws in the matter of public EN-
pigment and are looked after by
relief a,sociatlons and IN Sol
diers Homes. Their chances of
longevity are, therefore, greater
than those of the average citizen
of the same age.-Lancaster New

This is the popular puzzle over
the State just now. A banker
going home to dinner saw so
bill on the curbstone. lie picked
it up, noted the lumber, and
went home to dinner. While at
home his wife remarked that the
butcher had sent a bill amount
ing to $40. The only money he
had was the bill he had found,
which he gave to her and she paid
the butcher. The butcher paid
it TO a farmer for calf, the farm
er to the merchant, who IN turn
paid 1t to the washerwoman, and
she, owing the banker note of
$40, went to the bank and paid
the note. The banker recognlz
ed the bill as the one he had found
and which to that time had paid
$50 worth of debt. On careful
examination he discovered the
bill was counterfeit. Now, what
was lost IN the transaction, and
by whom ?-KansAs City Journal

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest IL.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach If
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat sullic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. July 12-Wheat for July de-
livery touched a new high record mark
for the season today when it sold at 12012
per bushel during a wild furry at the OPEN
Ing of the market, due to general rains in
the harvest belt during the last forty
eight hours. Other deliveries, however,
failed to respond to any great extent
Gable advices had a depressing effect on
the distant deliveries. The opening on
July was q to 1Ss higher. at 1l9A to 1904.
Heavy realizing sales caused a quck de-
cline to 1894, but the price again rallied to
around 10.
Corn was irregular early in the day, the
July delivery being firm, while the more
deferred months were inclined to be weak.
The July option was bullishly affected by
continued light receipts. Favorable crop
reports had a bearish effect on other
months. July opened * to 4 higher, at 1925
to 721a, and ad%anced to 72%.
Oats opened firm with other grain, hut
soon weakened on selling based on the
favorable outlook for the new crop. July
opened Il to p higher, at 50@ to sos, and
sold off to sos.
Provisions were dull and easy, a decline
of 5 i'll. live hogs causing moderate bear
ish sentiment in the PIT. Prices at the
start were 5 to ~ lower than the previous
close.
