treatment of the seed and rotation of

gallons OF water. This formalin can

II Is a good plan TO sterilize the
baskets or bags in which the treated
potatoes are to be held, as otherwise
hey may be reinfected. This treat.

before the potatoes are planted. ANY
treated tubers that are not planted

 In a leading editorial article on this snb5eet in the Washington Star. the writer refers to the plans under way in Baltimore, for the national celebration. Of the sane Fourth plan, he says:
 'aIt was experimented with last year, and the results were so harmless and general satisfaction so complete that all gzonnd has been cut from under the ad- gocates of a gunpowder Fourth. The observance of the orderly Fourth in Baltimore last year took the form of neighborhood meetings, with programs feDding to improve and uplift the patri. Dtlc spirit. This season Baltimore is dis cnssing pageantry. The proposition which comes from the Baltimore press ana is approved by the municipal au. shorities looks to a historical pageant one that will depict historic events in the life of the United States, of Mary land and of the city of Baltimore. The mayor has said: "A pageant impressing history on the community is a timely idea. It will be teacher for the chil aren, for our foreign born residents, an6 perhaps for some of the older person: who may have forgotten many notable events. It would be concentration o1 the same efforts which were more scat tered last year

Bouncing Betty

The following poem, charm1ngly illus trated by Walter King Stone, appears in the July issue of the Designer: From garden old. one day, Bouncing Betty ran away; Why she did so, who can say? Maybe she, vagrant child, Felt the strange ''Call of the Wild' Filling her with wanderlust, Till she ran because she must. Out upon the road to be Once again vagrant free. Maybe it was in the night Betty ran away; while bright Shone the moon, and Betty crept Softly past the flowers that slept Safe beneath the garden wall, Sheltered, prim, conventional. Did they hear her as she sped Past eIch stiff and formal bed,- Where they stood in proper rows In cultivated pose? Never there by nature placed, Trimmed and clipped, repressed, strait laced l. Phlox. Sweet-william, Fleur- de-lis, [ Growing artificially;
 Hollyhocks and Mignonette, Did they nod " good by " to Bet, AS with lifted pinky hem Stealthily she crept by them? What did Bouncing Betty care When she felt the freer air Blowing on her rose pink cheek What adventures may she seek Now that she is free to roam, All the wayside for her home Roadside grasses lush and wet Bathed the feet of Bouncing Bet; And she heard, not far away, A brooks reedy roundelay, AS it slipped, a wild, free thing. Through the meadows, gipsy1ng With the freckled lilies there, Black eyed Susans too and fair Daisy vagabonds, that sank Frill-deep in the grassy bank. Where she halted Betty knew Shs was midst an outlawed crew Of wild garden outcasts still Betty felt sudden thrill Run through all her sturdy stem, Hinting she was one of them. Tramp weeds-ragged, overgrown, Never any mercy shown. Still they f1ourished, wild and free, Full of weed audacity. Milkweed, in her loaded bloom, Leaned aside to give her room; Mullein, in coarse velvet dress, Brushed her rose-white loveliness But when Burdock, big and bold, Very gently laid hold With his leaves, like cOarEe-veined hands, On her, where she doubting stands, Quick she clambered down to be
 ister to the weeds-and free! Roadside rambler Is she yet. Does she never feel regret, Rosy, buxom, Bouncing Bet?
