FUNGUS
Horticulturalists Find it Kills
San Jose Scale.

Seymour, Ind, April 21.-A disco
If carried out as il now promises TO
will mean the death of the San jos
scale in the state, and the eradicatio-
of the pest that has long destroye'
fruit trees and made the orchard groE
ing business a precarious one.
The discovery is known as the red
headed fungus and its value lies in
the fact that it is the naturla enemy
of the San Jose scale, and always
comes out best in every encounter be-
tween the two. The red headed fun
gus" has been known in Florida, Geor.
gia and some other southern states,
and in Long Island, but it's discovery
here is said to be the first ever found
in Indiana.
Watched Through the Winter.
The fungus was found several
months ago on the property of J. B.
Shepherd, by Frank n. Wallace. one
of the assistants employed by B. w
Douglass state entomOlogist, who took
samples of it to the laboratory at In.
dianapolis. The progress of the fun.

ing, and by deputies from the entomol

can be at his best without helpmate.
Girls and women should forget all
about fashion, she said. What suits

More About the Corn Crop.

Corn is the greatest crop of our coun-
try, nearly 3,OOO,0OO,0O0 bushels being
produced yearly, worth 81, 500 900, 900.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is anx-
ious TO increase il, and has said and
written so much that over 10000 boys
clubs in the United States are competing
this year, 1911, trying TO beat Jerry
Moore's 22S bushels in South Carolina in
1910. Prizes OF $50, new buggies, bicy-
cles, shot-guns and trips to Washington
are offered for best acre this year. Aiuli
account of cultivation, fertilization, etc,
must be written out, and IS % per cent,
10 best ears 20 per cent, best profit ~
per cent, and greatest yield 20 per cent
OF total of 100. Last year $1,000 prize
was given for ten best ears at Indiana
corn show.
Our county can grow corn 10 equal any
of them il we try hard. When the white
man first entered the Wyoming valley,
N. Y, he found the wild Indian raising
corn ears 10 inches long. His only i'm
plement was a sharp stick TO dig around
the plant. Potatoes and corn, first found
in the new world soon after Columbus
landed, have been OF inestimable value TO
mankind. The wonder is how our an
cestors way back got along without
these crops.
Yours truly,
