GET RID OF TIE COTTON AN
THRACNOSE

A number of articles have been
written from time to time on seed
selection as an important factor in
controlling anthracnOse. There
seems to have been some misunder-
standing about the kind of bolls
from which it is safe to select seed.
When the investigation was first
undertaken here we secured results
which indicated that it was safe to
pick healthy-looking bolls for seed
from diseased stalks. Experiments
conducted for the past three years
prove that this is not safe. Last sea-
son our worst diseased cotton was
where we had planted seed from
healthy looking bOlls taken from
stalks which contained diseased
bolls. The same thing is true this
season. We are confident now,
therefore, that it is necessary that
seed be selected only from healthy
stalks. We have been able to get
rid of anthracnose in one season by
carefully selecting seed from stalks
which show no sign Of disease and

RYE as a HOG FEED.

How does rye, ground into a chop,
at 80 cents a bushel compare with
corn at 81 a bushel as a feed for
hogs?
Rye is a valuable hog feed, but
while it is little richer in protein,
it probable is not as good feed for
hogs as corn when it is the only
grain feed used. The hogs do not
like it as we'll as corn and probably
are more easily gotten off their feed
with rye than with corn. AS a part
OF the grain ration, or as a grain
ration for pigs while on good graz
ing crops, it will compare favorably
with corn at the same price per
pound. Rye used as ABOVE, there
fore, is a cheaper feed for hogs at
80 cents a bushel than is corn at 81
a bushel. The following table show
ing the digestible nutrients in 100
pounds Of rye and corn will make
this plain:

SAYS TROUBLE is NOT WITH
OUR LAND BUT WITH OUR
FARMERS.
FARMERS.

JudsOn G. Welliver, Washington
correspondent Of Farm and Fireside,
writes in the current issue Of that
periodical an interesting account Of
the United States Bureau of Soils.
He says in part:
DR.. Milton Whitney, chief of the
soils bureau, insists that proper Gull
tivation and rotation will make run
down soils produce again as well as
ever. The trouble is not with the
land, but with the people farming it,
and their methods, stoutly declares
DR.. Whitney
''The Bureau of Soils is trying to
find out all about the changes in
soils that are wrought as a result of
cultivation. 1t declares that the
mineral and metal basis changes
very, very little. The products of
vegetable and animal growth, on the
other hand, change greatly and modi-
fly soil qualities very much. One will
be useful and benevolent, another
vicious and harmful.

excellent crops of wheat, had become

duced a good crop, and did the thing
three times in succession; then the
soil lapsed back into it's first condi-
ton of non-productivity
''Why did the cow-peas have that
effect? The Bureau took like pro-
portions of potash, phosphoric acid
and nitrates-the plant-food ele-
ments of -peas-and put them
into the soil; and it didn't produce
the effect of restoring it's fertility.
The point seemed to be that these
various elements, mixed together
and applied to the ground, didn't
have the genuine cow-pea effect.
Doctor Whitney in a recent ad-
dress gave this explanation of the
operations within the soil of various
agents introduced through rotation
of crops. He seems to have a con
siderable backing of authority and
experience in favor of his theory
that fertilization is, at least, much
less necessary, if scientific rotation
is followed. His bureaus problem
is to develop the correct scientific
rotation for various soils and eli
mates"

a disease which has been unusually
prevalent over much of the South
this year. Almost every year, how
ever, we get Inquiries from farmers
as to what causes their cotton bolls
TO rot and how they can prevent it.
The same thing is true Of many 9TH
er plant diseases, and many insect
pests.
The loss to the farmer from these
diseases and insect enemies is enor-
nous. Various estimates are made
as to it's extent, but really no one
can do more than guess at it, Often,
too, the farmer does not even know,
when new disease attacks his crop,
or ne winsect pest appears, what
the troublesome visitor is Most of
us who are "just plain farmers" are
not at all Well-informed as to fungi,
or basteria or all the multitude of
flying, creeping and crawling things
that we have to contend with. Yet
1T is important that we know about
them. Often the success of our
crops, and the reward of our years
labor depend upon our knowing how
to fight these tiny-often invisible
foes.
The question, then, is: Where are
we to get this information-whe a
new disease appears, or a new insect
begins to do damage, how are we to
find out what it is and how to fight
it?
There is, as a rule, just one place
to which we can turn with reasona-
BILE certainty, and that is our State
Experiment Station. At the Expert
ment Station there are men engaged
in studying these things-men who
have made it their life work to
find out about the fungi and bacteria
that cause the various diseases far
mers see their plants suffering with,
or who devote their time to learn
inghO w insects live and how they
can be killed. These men cannot, of
course, tell the farmer how to treat
every plant disease or how to kill
every bug that annOys him, for
they, too, have much to learn along
this line, but they can usually give
all the inforMation that is to be
had.
There are ether places, of course,
where information can be had on
these subjects. Most farmers know
something of fighting some of the
more destructive insects, and of con
trolling some of the more common
plan diseases. There are various
books and bulletins which will help;
some State Departm ents of Agricul-
ture can give prompt and effective
aid; The Progressive Farmer is al
ways ready to do what it can, though
it usually refers such inquiries to
some Experiment Station specialist;
but as general rule the best thing
the farmer can do in a case of this
kind is to apply directly to his Elk
pertinent Station for information
and assistance.
Every farmer should keep in close
touch with the Experiment Station
in his State, anyway. The services of
these institutions are not valuable
only when disease breaks out in the
crops or insects eat them. Though
it would pay the farmer to keep in
touch with his Station for this part
of it's work alone, this is far from
being the most important part of
that work.

Summerfield. Kan. May 15.-On

Charlotte Thomann has already be-
gun to contradict her own affidavit
and the stories of Detectives Medlock
and Ericsson concerning the events
that led up to an attempt to black

by the Summerfield bankers wife are
not in keeping with the tone and
spirit of the affidavits made and

plain clothes men.

Gillett in the National hotel. Not only
does Mrs. Thomann vouch for the alb
sence of the detective from Topeka at
that time, but her statement is veri-
fed by Leta Foster, the girl in the
case. These statements are regarded
as significant in that Medlock swore
that he saw the Kingman judge and
the Foster girl in the ladies' parlor
at the National and a short time later
saw them enter Judge Gillett's room
on the fifth floor of the hotel.

DO WOMEN FLIRT?
Lack of Regard for Marriage
Vows "Tag" Day Results.
Young Girls Will Be Discrimi-

Chicago, May 15-Members of
women's clubs and others interested
in work for charity are to figure out
way to prevent "tag day romances.
They declare that previous tag days,
which were fruitless in raising funds
for charity, lacked at times in respect
for marriage vows and tender years.
Women interested are agreed on one
point and that is that more care must
be taken in recruiting the "taggers. -
1t has been decided that young girls
will be objects of discrimination and
the girl with both youth and a hus-
band is under consideration.
Mrs. F. L. Rossbach, president of
the New Future association, in dis
cussing plans for ''posy day." which
will be held on June 1, last night said:
''This commercializing of the at
tractiveness of young girls on tag
day has proved disastrous more than
once. We will have none of it, for
we purpose to establish discretionary
age limit for taggers.''

1ARROW ON TRIAL WINS CALIFORNIA TIRED AND HOARSE
Taft Enters on Third Day OF
Ohio Campaign.
Recalls When ROOSeveIt's
Praise Made Him Blush.

GAINESVILLE, Ohio, May 15.-Tired
and hoarse President Taft began his
third days campaign in Ohio at Rose
| vile, ten miles from here. The presi-
| dent was up at $50 and made his
speech at Roseville at o'clock to sew
eral hundred persons. His hoarse-
ness was marked, but his doctor, Ma
jor Thomas L. Rhodes. was confident
he would be able to get through han
Oily and would be in fine shape to
take up the campaign after his sched-
uled II hours rest at Cleveland to-
morrow. Mr.. Taft's physical condi-
tion Major Rhodes said was practical
ly as good as when he left Washing
ton last Sunday.
Mr.. Taft told his Rosevil1e audience
that he pointed with pride to the rec
ord of trust prosecutions by his ad-
ministration. He then said he was
feeling the effects of these prosecu-
tions in his campaign.
1T is difficult to arouse any enthu-
siasm for your candidate among per-
sons who are being prosecuted he
said.
MANY of these gentlemen are very
angry. There is Mr.. Dan Hanna of
Cleveland who was indicted for rebat-
ing. s
1T has made him very angry and
very dcIlN0 against IIl0 anu ne IIlnk KS
that 1 am no patriot and no good can
didate for another term. But the un-
indicted are in the majority and if
they will stand by me can afford to
lose the indicted vote.
when I was candidate four years
ago Mr.. Roosevelt commended me in
language so flattering that 1 could not
read what he said without blushing
and can't now. Either he has
changed or I have changed since then
and L think I have seen evidence that
il is he. Certainly he has changed in
respect to the third term.
Il appeal from the Roosevelt of to-
day to the Roosevelt of 1904 who held
that only two terms were enough. But
the Roosevelt who was not seeking Of
flee is not the Roosevelt who is chas-
ing around the country after one.''
President Taft delivered his third
speech of the day here to a good sized
crowd. He spoke at Ter ~ reviewing
the achievements of his administration.
When he came to discussion of the
prosecution of the steel and harvester
trusts. a man in the crowd yelled:
'Well, what are you going to do
about them?''
Pm going to break them up" re-
piled the president.
MY friends, you would think from
what Theodore Roosevelt says" con-
tinued Mr.. Taft, "tnat if he is elected
and we have four years, or sixteen
wears, more of him, or a life time, We
are going to have 10 bosses Well, the
only guide we have is the lamp of ex-
