o UR QUESTION BOX

What proportion of Brattleboro s
school population goes through the
high school course?
In the 10 years from 1903 to 1912,
inclusive, the school population of
Brattleboro, that is, the number COM
ing within the definition of the stat
ute as being of school age, was
lO,095. During the same period the
number of graduates from the high
school was 284. The proportion of the
school population completing the high
school course is. therefore slightly
more than two and seven-tenths per
cent

PLAN TO SAVE THE HAY CROP
Farmers Cannot Afford to Allow VaIu-
able Alfalfa and Glover to Be
Ruined by Showers.

Many farmers will be aggravated
by frequent showers during alfalfa and
clover haying. What are you going to
do about it? Are you going to let hay
worth to you as feed from So to SD
per ton be spoiled by rain?
One cannot always wait for the
weather to get settled. In many locali-
ties it does not settle till after haying
is over. Overripe hay is very little
good. 1t must be cut in season, re-
CARELESS of the weather. We suggest
that you get a hundred hay caps for
the field and some stack covers II you
stack outdoors. The caps will not cost
very much and If cared for will last
many years. Then you can cover the
hay cocks and let them cure longer
than you would dare If they were left
exposed to rain.
We've got to look more carefully to
saving what we grow, as well as grow
ing larger crops, and this is a step IN
that direction.

DISEASE OF CABBAGE
Injected Plants Show Tendency
to Wilt on Sunny Days.
Club Root Is Spread From Field to
Field by Bang Carried on cuItiva-
tors and Feet ofaHorses-Ro-
tation Is Suggested.
By H. S. REED. virgInia.)

(By H. S. REED, Virginia.)
When a field is badly infected with
disease it may appear at the seeding
plants, but the fields are not usually
badly enough infected the first season
to manifest the disease until the cab
bage is half grown. In districts where
the disease has just begun to get a
foothold, the grower is not likely to
notice any trouble, therefore, until
after the first of July. At about that
time it will be noticed that the plants
which are being infected show a ten
dency to wilt on bright sunny days,
although at night they may recover
and do not wilt on the following day
unless it is again bright and warm.
Such plants may succeed in making
enough growth to produce a salable
cabbage, although it is somewhat un-
dersized and slightly loose. The earlier
the plant is infected with the disease,
the smaller is the head produced.
The agent responsible for the club
root disease is an organism belonging
to the lowest orders of plant life,
which lives as a parasite upon the
roots of cabbage and related plants,
like caulifower, r%utabagas, fiat turnips,
mustard, etc. AS the plant and its par
asite reaches maturity the latter ceas-
es active growth and begins the for
nation of spores which are capable Of
retaining their vitality through the
winter and propagating the disease.
The decay of the cabbage root accom-
plished by bacteria and other forms
of life, sets free these spores in the
soil, and there they remain until the
following spring, when conditions are
again favorable for growth, these
spores terminate, giving rise to an
active organism which is capable of
again injecting a plant, In this WY
The Tupelo journal., 1913-08-29

the cause of the disease perpetuates
itself in the soil and each year Injuries
the cabbage which is planted there.
The disease is spread from field to
field by being carried on c~ultivatQrs
and the feet of horses, soil erosion,
and by throwing diseased cabbages to
stock on pasture. Guard carefully
against introducing any material into
a field which may carry the germs Of
the club root from diseased fields, and
especially against diseased soil and
diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will
allow at least three years between
crops of cabbage, ~rutabagas or tur-
nips. Apply stable n to the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to
the cabbage crop. If acid phosphate
is used the same rule would hold.
Lime will more successfully counteract
the club root disease than other sub
stances. Apply it at the rate of 100
bushels or more per acre, or two
years previous to planting the cab
bage.

Who Would Get Together
s The three largest factors in the

be the Young Women's Christian As
sociation, acting in behalf of the
Protestant churches; the Roman
Catholic churches, and the Allied He.
brew organizations. These three have
in common belief in supreme
deity, and an identical social purpose.
Cooperating with these three grand
divisions would be the federation of
women's clubs, the charity organiza-
tion societies, the missionary socie-
lies, the Women,s Christian Temper
ance Unions, the Gideons, the Young
Mems Christian Association and local
boards of trade or chambers Of COM
merce.
With this comprehensive support a
thoroughly efficient national organiza-
tion, that would take over existing
WORK for travellers, would be estab.
slished Sufficient agencies would be
maintained to cover ali railway sta
tions and docks, by day and by night.
Records could be kept 50 that per.

Investigations would be made OF
hotels, boarding houses, lodging
houses, employment agencies and all
other institutions that touch the life
of the traveller. A publicity depart.
ment would endeayor to inform teo,
pie of: the country upon the dangers
of travel and upon ways Of securing
help. Travellers would be passed
