PROFESSOR BERGsON ON IMMORTALITY

You can not prove Immortality"
says Professor Bergson, but you do
not have to in order to be justified in
believing II. Indeed. the burden of
proof is on the doubter. Nobody can
prove that something win never come
to an end; such an attempt would be
absurd" is another part Of his asser-
ton But IL we can prove that the
role Of the brain is to FIX the atten-
ton of the mind on matter and that
by far the greater part of mental life
is independent Of the brain. then we
have proved the likelihood of sur
vival; and It is for those who do not
believe 1t to prove they are right,
not for US to prove they are wrong"
AS reported. these sentences form a
part OF the lectures given by the
popular French philosopher at Colum-

SEEDS TESTED FREE

Any farmer in this state can have
his seed tested free of charge, both
for purity and vitality, by sending a
sample to DR.. Ira D. Cardiff, head of
the Experiment Station at the State
College of Washington, Pullman,
Wash. Some samples of alfalfa and
grass seed sent to him for testing
were found to contain a large per-
centage of dangerous weed seeds,
which, if sown, would cause much
trouble and damage. 1t requires lit
tie time and no expense, except post
age, to have your seed tested, but it
may save you a lot of time and a
good deal of money in the future.
An ounce of prevention is worth a
round of cure.

EAT JIM HILL MUSTARD

Walla Walla, Wash, July "A.
A Kraft, a Spokane harness man,
owner of wheat farm near Lowden,
has made a discovery that may mean
thousands of dollars to farmers OF
this valley and hundreds of thou
sands to those of the nation. Black
beetle-like insects half an inch long
and half as wide, have taken posses
sion on his farm by millions and are
killing off the Jim Hill mustard on
the place. A month ago Mr.. Kraft
made a trip over the ranch and II
was so covered with mustard that he
was disguised, and decided to cut
the grain for hay Today he made
another trip and found the mustard
dead and dying and the wheat flour
ishing. The bugs eat the seeds and
leaves of the plant. leaving only the
stalk. and it is not able to propa-
gate itself. No one here seems to
know the name of the insect, or
ANYTHING about it. Even those
around Lowden had never heard OF
if before. MIR. Kraft has ordered his
foreman to collect some of the bugs
and an effort will be made to de-
termine the species, and whether
they can be propagated here, Green
hugs. a year ago, saved some Of Mr.
Kraft's wheat in Franklin county IN
a similar fashion.

WORK
- AGAINST HOG CHOLERA

Under a special appropriation of
tx 400 made by congress "for dem
.trating the best method of pre-
ntipg and eradicating hog cholera"
~ United States department of agri-
.,lture has undertaken practical ex-
0srments in combating this disease.
mo appropriation became available
Inlv |. and work will be begun first
!. nallas county, Iowa, and will be
.sten UP later in Indiana, and in one
:, two other states. In Iowa the
mork will be done in cooperation
.r;tb the state veterinarian and the
1owa State College.
few years ago the bureau of ami
mol industry of the department of
agriculture, after years of expert
mentation, developed a serum which
hos been demonstrated by repeated
,ests to be very effective in prevent
ing hog cholera. In many states this
sprum has been prepared and distrib-
uted to farmers with the result that
,erga sums of money have been saved
m the farmers, but thus far no sys-
tomatic effort has been made to
eradicate hog cholera. In the work
which is now begun the control and
eradication of the disease will be the
main object, the serum being used
IN connection with the necessary
ouarantine and educational measures.
In the work in Dallas county,
Iowa. representatives of the state
college and of the bureau of animal
industry will make a survey of the
county, estimating as closely as pos
sible the losses from hog cholera
during previous years, and securing
the names and addresses of hog own
ers. Through lectures and demon
STATIONS at farmers meetings and
BY personal interviews they will also
explain to the farmers the object and
nature of the work. The state vet
erinarian will issue and enforce
such restrictive regulations as may
be deemed necessary, after confer
ence with federal officials, to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. The
bureau of animal industry will pre-
pare and apply the serum and will
undertake to control each outbreak
Of hog cholera existing in the county
at the time the work begins, and also
such subsequent outbreaks as may
arise during the year. The serum
treatment is preventive rather than
curative, and will be administered to
hogs on infected farms and on neigh
boring farms with a view to check
ing and preventing the spread of the
Infection.
Hog cholera has for many years
been scourge of the hog-raising in
dustry, causing heavier direct losses
than any other animal disease in this
country. The losses for last year are
estimated at $60,000,000. In the
face of short supply and high prices
Of meat 1t is becoming imperative
that something should be done to
check the rayages of this disease.
Armed with an effective preventive
treatment, the departm ent of agri-
culture hopes by means of these ex-
( perments to demonstrate a method
which can later be applied on large
scale throughout the infected re-
glons, so as to control and eventual
y to eradicate hog cholera and thus
stop the heavy losses and help to in
crease the country's meat supply

Saturday. The contset took place
at Wittens Mills. The final score
stood % to 10in favor of Wittens
Mills. The game was called at

The Tazewell girls went at their
fair opponents with vim and
skill, and were the first to score.
but the tide soon turned, and the
Tazewell term was "outwinded"
and overcome by these country
girls. After this game the boys
team of Tazewell and Wittens
Mills went against each other
in vigorous shape, the same re-
suits resulted. The final score
stood 22 to 20 in favor of the
home team.
This is the second time Wit
tens Mills has walloped Taze-
well, but Tazewell says "we'll
get 'em yet" One of the Taze-
well girls said: 1.-The Wittens
Mills team was too heavy for

Corn Should be Weighed.

The corn growers association
would do well to include in
future contests, prize for the
heaviest or highest yielding
bushel or half bushel of corn,
the corn to be first weighed in
the ear, then shelled and the
shelled corn weighed. Premium
show corn is not always or
necessarily the highest in yield.
The show ear is alright, but
after all, the yield per acre is
what is needed-what tells with
farmers. Corn measured in the
cob, or weighed, ca mot possibly
be an absolute test of the WELD
per acre. The cobs vary greatly
In size and the grain in depth
and soundness.
The average farmer doesn't
know what kind of corn he is
growing and cares but little SO
long as he gets the right quanti-
ty. The particular breed or kind
of corn producing the largest
quantity OF Shelled corn per
bushel of corn in the ears, is TIE
kind sought after by the great
mass of farmers. Whether this
is true to the score card or not
matters little.
The Virginia Corn Growers
Association which will be held
in Lynchburg January 9th and
7th, 1914, offers an interesting
and attractive list of premiums
for the lest exhibition of corn. |
For the best ten ears of white
and yellow corn, and the best |
single ears of each. Also for
lest ten ears of popcorn. Pre-
m ums are also offered for best
