Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending May -, 1912
The weather during the first five
days of the week was ideal for field
work and the growth of vegetation
The average temperature was above
the normal, though no unusually
nigh temperatures prevailed, and the
precipitation was deficient until Fri
day night and Saturday when heavy
and in many localities, excessive
rains fell; the greatest amounts OF
rainfall being reported from the
southern and central counties. All
vegetation made rapid growth, and
good progress was made in prepar-
ing corn ground. Considerable corn
was planted in nearly all sections OF
the state with the soil generally in
fine filth, but the late rains and the
cool weather prevailing at the close
of the week will retard planting for
day or two. Meadows and pas
lures have made a decided improve
ment, and where the rainfall was
heavy, a fair to good crop of hay is
assured Oats are beginning to stool
nicely and all small grain is in good
condition. Reports continued to
show a deficiency of bloom on apple
trees, but other fruits, except
peaches, give promise of good yields

To Extirpate Dandelions.

The dandelion pest is again with
US and nothing should be left undone
to exterminate it. There are two
ways of getting rid of them. One is
to cut them out by hand, and the
other and more modern method is to
spray the weeds with copperas and
iron sulphate. An authority on the
subject gives the following direc-
lions as to how to proceed:
eff you cut out the plants by hand,
it is necessary to cut well below the
crown with a long sharp knife. 1t
is claimed by weed experts that the
weeds do not propagate from the
roots as much as from the crown.
ITO use the iron sulphate, or cop
peras, dissolve one and one-fourth
pounds of salt to a gallon Of water,
and apply to the lawn with spray
pump. Cover the lawn thoroughly.
There will be no injury to the grass.
In a couple of weeks apply the spray
again, and repeat the operation in a
fortnight after that.
'The grass appears black after
treatment, but after being cut once
assumes a really richer shade OF
green than formerly"
All upon whose lawns the dande-
lions are in evidence should get busy
with one or the other Of these meth

Employers Like Boy Scouts as Office
Boys.

Boy scouts have made such an i'm
preston on business men through
out the country that they are sought
for vacant positions. The qualities
which the scout movement develops
tends to make the boy alert in at
tending to business, energetic, faith
full and resourceful. Such qualities
always win the approval of en-
ployers, and invariably lead to ad-
vancement. A prominent business
man in Philadelphia recently told
Isaac G. Sutten, scout commissioner
of Montgomery county, Pennsyl-
vania, that whenever he wanted an
office boy he always went to one of
the scout masters in Philadelphia
and asked him to recommend a scout
for the place. He said: boy

How many persons know what
happens when a pint of gasoline is
left open in a room? If the tempera-
ture is normal the liquid entirely
evaporates in twenty-four hours.
The vapor. is heavier than air, and
therefore sinks to the floor. Unless
disturbed it will remain there for
hours, and by mixing with the air,

times as powerful as gunpowder-
One pint of gasoline will make two

Reindeer and Yak for Alaska.

The reindeer used to be known
chiefly In the Christmas picture book,
while the South American yak is still
known chiefly through his occasional
visits with the circus. The scarcity
of game, and therefore food for flesh
eating dogs, is reviving a demand in
Alaska for herb-eating beasts of bur-
den. Reindeer are being shipped west
from Labrador, and it is hoped also to
