EFFORTS MAY SUCCEED
TO CONTROL GlNGSENG ILLS

That root rot and leaf blight,
the two most common diseases af-
fecting the gingseng plant, can be
controlled is the belief of men who
have been carrying on field tests
and rather extensive experiments,
this summer on several of the large
gingseng beds near Amigo in
Langlade county.
This work has been done coop
eratively by the U. S. bureau of
plant industry, the department of
plant pathology of the University of
Wisconsin's College of Agriculture,
and the growers.
The best results were obtained
with the use of the bordeau mix
ture and pyrox in the case of leaf
blight, while dipping the roots of
the plants in mild solutions of for
malin and corrosive sublimate be-
fore planting were found to render
them less subject to injury from
root rot. Acid phosphate as a fer
tilizer was also tried out with the
idea Of rendering the soil unfayor-
able to the development of the
bacteria causing root rot Care in
preparing the soil before planting has
been shown to be an important
factor i'll the cultivation Of this
plant, and small experiments with
steaming pans used to sterilize the
soil for depth Of over two feet
5ity to cook a potato buried a foot
and half under ground was con-
sidered requisite.

Using Drag on Earth Roads
Have you ever seen a homemade
road drag? 1t is made by split
ting in two d log six Or eight
inches in thickness and about six
or eight feet long. The two halves
of the log are set three feet apart
Should these logs be drawn straight
down the road or should it be
dragged at slant SO that a little OF
the loose earth will slide toward
the center of the road? Should the
dragging be started next to the ditch,
or at the center of the road? Should
you drag the whole road in one
way, or drag each half of it in an
dragging be done when the road is
dry, Or after it has rained? A good
strong pair of horses with we'll
built drag can drag about three or
four miles of road III a day. What
would it cost a farmer to drag four
miles of road? How would he be
repaid for the cost of his labor?
Remember, children, you are not to
answer these questions as if you were
answering an examination paper.
You are to think about the answers
ard ask people for information and
watch people actually working on
roads, and then write a composition
that will be just the same as if
you were writing a letter to a friend,
telling him, or her, how they made
the earth roads near you better,
and kept it from getting full OF
holes, ruts and puddles.

The Regeneration of Organs.

Many inferior animals have, as is
well known, the power of replacing
various parts of the body when lost,
such as the tail, and even, in some
cases, the head. A worm may some
times be divided into various sections,
and each section will proceed to live
it's separate existence. Experiments
made by naturalists to obtain bet
ter understanding in this regeneratinS
faculty have shown that the lungs Of
frogs and salamanders have grown
again after being almost wholly ex-
tirpated Also the horns of snails
have been extirpated with like results.
Each so-called horn has an eye which
communicates with the outside world,
and these eyes have been re-grown
with the horn, though practically use
less for purposes of vision. 1t is es-
tablished likewise that the caudal
horn or tentacle of the silkworm, If
taken off, will grow again, although it
will be smaller than the primitive
one, and in some cases invisible to the
naked eye. The crab and lobster, as
is we'll known, can grow new claws

Old Siege Guns Discarded.

The old siege ordnance OF the army
which consisted of 5-inch guns and
finch howitzers, is to be discarded
for weapons of more modern design.
Most important in the new equipment
is a 7.6-inch howitzer, which will fire
a projectile of $50 pounds.
The carriage for this howitzer Is sc
heavy that it will be necessary to re-
move the howitzer from the carriage,
which will be drawn by eight horses.
The gun will be placed on special
vehicle and will be transported by an
equal number OF horses. The 4.7-inch
field gun and the 6-inch field howitZer
are now classed as field artillery ma
terial, rather than siege material, be-
cause it has been found that each gun
on its own carriage can be drawn rap
