dun.

ing to attack the impor-
tant Austrian fortified

city are reported to be
fleeing and the civil gov
ernment is said to have

mans.

A GOOD NATURED MAN.

In an Omaha church, Sam
Jones shouted, lis there a man
present who has never spok-
en- a cross word to his wife?"
The silence was becoming OPP
presive; every husband looked
here and there; every husband
wanted to get up, but did not
dare to. But the sadness that
had possession of Jones face
vanished a moment later when
a round-faced, goodnatured
man rose from his seat. Thank
God!" exclaimed Sam, "there
is ore man who has never
spoken a cross word to his
WIFE" The good natured man
smiled a bland smile and said:
mo sir, | never did. I'm a
bachelor Then he put on his
hat and calmly walked out Of
the door.

Say, young man, there is
one thing you can not do.
You can not make a success in
life unless you work. Better
men than you have tried and
failed. You can't loaf around
street corners an d saloons,
smoke cigars, tell foul stories,
drink whiskey and sponge on
someone else, without making
a failure in life. You must
learn a trade or get into some
honest business. If you don't
you will be a chronic loafer,
despised by all, producing
nothing, simply making your
self a burden on your parents
or the state. There is no place
in the world for loafers. The
ripe fruit is all at the top Of
the tree. You must climb to
get it. If you wait for it to
fall at your feet you will new
er get it. Smarter men will
Jump up and get all. Move.
Do something; no matter how
small. 1t will be a starter.
Help yourself and others will
help you. There is no royal
road to success. Toll, grit and
endurance; these are requisi-
ties. Wake up and see what
you can do.

APPLE TWIG BLIGHT


Many sections Of the state
report serious blighting Of
young apple twigs. The leaves
start to wither, soon turn
brown and before long the
end Of the twig is dead. This
disease, says Prof. N. j. Gidd-
ings Of the Agricultural Ex-
perment Station, is caused by
bacteria which are carried
from tree to tree by bees and
other insects. After gaining
entrance into the twig, they
multiply rapidly and soon
cause the death of the branch.
The disease may be readily
transmitted from tree to tree
and an entire orchard thus
become infected.
There is no spray that is ef-
fective in preventing this dis
ease and the only treatment is
to keep the orchard cleaned
up and to quickly destroy, by
burning, all branches showing
the blighted condition. 1t is
important to see that nearby
orchards are also kept free
from this disease, since bees
may carry the bacteria from
considerable distances.

THE GROWTH OF FARMERS INSTITUTES


The growth of the farmers
institute movement in the
United States during the last
ten years is noteworthy. In
the season Of 1923, there
were held $3.50 sessions Of
institutes in forty-one states.
In 1928, there were held
TO- $40 sessions, an increase OF
lis percent. The attendance
in 1923 was 904, 654;in 1912
Is it was 2, S97 ,39l at the re-
gular institutes. This was an
increase in attendance Of 331
per cent at all forms of insti-
tutes. The average attend
ance at each session increased
81 per cent or from 94.53 to
al. The appropriations in
creased from $187, 226 to 1910,
794, or 172 per cent.
During the past year in
West Virginia, 115 two day
and IA one day institutes were
conducted, practically every
county in the state having at
least two session program.
The farmers institutes have
shown this steady growth year
by year, Notwithstanding the
rise of many other agencies
for rural betterment that has
appeared in the least decade.
The inherent quality that has
enabled the institute not only
to hold the interest but to in
crease the number gifts con-
stituency until now it reaches
annually about four millions
of rural people in the United
States, is that it meets a need
of rural men and women that
no other agency has yet
been able to supply; viz. a
public foum where the SCENT
list and the farmer can meet
on equal footing and discuss
their problem face to face
