twigs, leaf stem or young fruit
stems. Could these have been
cut out just after the blooming
period this year, the present
enormous spread of blight could
have been prevented. It would
be well to keep this point in mind
next spring wherever blight is
serious this year.
Treatment with salt, Icalomel,
iron and other things have been
recommended for preventing
blight. None of these, except
cutting cut the blight, is of any
use. The reason why salt or iron
stirred into the soil under a
blighting tree or calomel injected
under It's bark seems to check the
blightis because the spring blight
runs It's course so quickly that BY
the time it is observed and the
alleged remedy applied, the
blight Is usually ready to stop OF
its own accord.

cron Outlook Most Prosperous.

Jefferson City.-That Missouri VIII
enjoy the most prosperous year In It's
history is the opinion Of William
Hirth OF Columbia, Mo. president OF
the Missouri Federation Of CONNER
cial Clubs. He said that the wheat
crop would be the largest on record,
while the corn crop was never started
under more favorable conditions.
Mr.. Hirth said In his travels he had
not seen a bad field, while some were
better than others, according TO the
fertility Of the soil. Another rain or
two, he prophesied, would bring mil.
lions of dollars into the pockets OF
Missouri farmers.
"If we get enough rain we win
smash last years record by good
margin," said Mr.. Hirth, and that
vas valued at s2OO,OOO,OOO. However,
dry weather no longer is the terror to
the farmers that It used to be. Our
farmers, following the advice OF our
state agricultural college, are cult
waiting often and not 40 deep as for
merly, by which means the ground
withstands twice as much dry
weather.
"The fruit yield this year should be
a record-breaker. Live stock also Is
in a splendid condition. Farmers are
beginning to realize that II is more
profitable to sell their feed In the
shape of fat beef. pork and mutton
rather than TO accept the current mar
ket price for II.
Missouri farmers are up with tn'

The superlntendents adopted reso.
lutions in favor OF constitutional
amendment which will fix higher
maximum restrictions on the rates OF
taxation for school purposes. One
trouble with the rural schools % Mis-

Sell the BOOSTERS Now.

Infertile eggs keep much better
than fertile ones. This fact has
been noted by everyone who runs
an incubator. Eggs that have
been kept 10S Farenheit for a
week or ten days on testing are
found TO be infertile, show very
little, If any, change. Indeed,
unscrupulous persons often sell
such eggs.
This fact should be taken ad-
vantage of in improving the
quality of our eggs, and the
roosters removed from the flock
as soon as the breeding season
is ended. II they are not to be
used the following season, they
should be sold at once. The
price is usually as good as at any
later time and considerable
saving is made on feed.
BOOSTERS are often kept with
the hens after the breeding
season to increase egg produc-
ton. This is q mistake as the
minated bird lays as many OF
more than the mated.
