Whether the war to rid Washington

on the cooperation extended 1T by tn
older members of the community. The

would locate every ybreeding place
within radius Of 200 yards of his
premises, and attempt to abate the
nuisance, or notify the health depart

long until the city would approach a
real flyless era. There is no better
way to destroy flies than by starving
them, and the abatement Of all nuis-
ances would accomplish this end.
Flies Could Be Starved.

the disease. The whole leaf may first
turn yellow between the veins and
around the margins and then later
brown, as if scorched. and finally drop
off, or only one side of the leaf may
dry up, while the other half remains
normal This latter symptom is the
more usual and is a distinguishing
characteristic of the disease. Little or
no whiting of the plant is then appar-
ent, and for that reason "yellows" is
better descriptive term than wilt. The
lowest leaf is always the first to drop
off, and this is followed by the next
above until only a bare stalk is left,
supporting small imperfect head or
none at all, depending upon the age of
the plant when it became diseased.
Subsequent to the dropping of the
leaves short sprouts from one-half inch
to one and one-half inches long some
times grow out between the leaf scars.
Browning of the woody portion Of the
stem Is another characteristic of wilt.
The seed should be disinfected with
formaldehyde (one-quarter pint to sew
en- gallons of water, leaving the seed
In the solution about fifteen minutes,
then washing and drying). Wilt has
been found to occur in many seed beds,
and for that reason manure and soil
known to be free from the disease
should be used. Sterilization of the
seed bed should be practiced whenever
possible 1t has been found that even
though the seed bed has been sterilized
and noninfected plants obtained they
may become diseased later If planted

The plants evidently become diseased
when quite young, and many can be
detected before planting. Such should

of proper and improper giving of
Il charity. He also explains proper
and improper prayers and finally
proper and improper fasting. In all
these He denounces hypocrisy. His fol-
lowers are to be actuated solely by a

pray or to fast, but we are not to do

to pray, nor did He even give them a
form Of prayer until requested. The

Divine help to appreciate the privilege
Of approaching the throne of grace.
