THE MOSAIC DISEASE OR CALICO.

This peculiar disease of tobacco is
characterized by the notified appear
ance of the leaf with light green and
dark green areas, which in more pro-
nounced cases results in the wrinkling
or corrugation of the leaf. In severe
cases the leaves may become so dis
torted as to be scarcely recognizable.
Diseased leaves are, as rule, worth
less for cigar purposes. Fortunately
the disease has not occurred to suf-
ficient extent in wisconsin to attract
much attention, but its presence is fre-
quently observed on suckers. The dis
sease when it has once occurred in the
fields, however, is capable of doing
much damage to the growing crop and
it is we'll for the growers to have in
mind some measures which will aid in
it's control.
Several theories have been advanced
as to the cause of this disease. The
results of the more recent investiga-
tions upon this peculiar disease seem to
show that it is not due to parasites, but
to an abnormal condition of the living
matter of the plant itself, which is
capable of injecting and producing the
disease in other plants.
MANY luC0E0SLII1S cIiU pI dCGACoi POlAlIo
have been brought out as result OF
Investigations on this malady. The
mosaic disease is of such a nature that
it may crop out at any time in field
without previous infection, but it is
more liable to occur in fields where it
has previously occurred. It has been
we'll established that the causal matter
may be liberated into the soil from de-
caying diseased plants and be taken up
again by healthy plants to sufficient
extent as to cause disease. Anything,
however, which tends to prevent the
normal development of the plant may
bring on the disease at any stage of its
development. Usually, however, only
the young growing parts Of the. plant
are capable of becoming diseased. Any
condition which favors the rapid growth
of plants, such as excessive fertility or
moisture in the soil, favors the disease,
and for this reason it is more likely to
occur on clay than on sandy soils.
The following practical facts should
be borne in mind:
l. The seed beds should not be
started where the disease has once oc-

The past ten days have been anything
but encouraging for tobacco harvest.
Between showers people have made
strenuous efforts to get their crops
shielded, but coolness and lack of sun
warmth have been altogether too prev
alent for curing AS a consequence
fully one-third, if not one-half of the
acreage is standing in the fields at this

feared with clearing away of clouds
and cessation of rain. But just wit

Connecticut valley tobacco growers
have emerged from bad frost scare
but little worse for the experience
The thermometer hovered about dan
gerously low temperatures at the close
of last week and first of this. White
frost was reported in few towns, but
only small quantity of tobacco was
unharvested in districts which report
frost and frost damage was conse-
quently slight. The Connecticut valley

ing is virtually all under cover

At this writing the larger share of
the late fields have been shielded and
as yet no frost has come to do any
damage. The weather continues fav-
orable for the curing of the shielded to-
bacco. What little buying has been
done is kept closely under cover and
we learn Of no sales to report in either
old or new goods. Packers continue
busy sampling and when this is finished
buying will undoubtedly commence in
earnest.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 400 cases since last report.

LANCASTER, PA, Sept. 16, 1914.
Lancaster county tobacco growers
were given painful shock last We'd
nesday morning when they arose and
found that there had been light frost
over night in low-lying ground. There
was not enough to do any damage, but
it was an unpleasant surprise Prior
to that time about half the tobacco
crop had been cut, but since then fully
80 per cent of what was left standing
fell under the knife The crop is an
irregular one and many of the growers
were pursuing the plan of cutting out
the ripe stalks and leaving the rest
stand to mature. This has one advan-
tage. 1t gave the grower time to go
about his work more leisurely, though
it also entailed the trouble of getting
the stalks out from among the uncut
stalks, as the tobacco is of large
growth, generally. Taking the crop
through as a whole, it has ripened
pretty nicely, and outside of the COM
plants of careless suckering the pack
ers are not likely to have much to OBJ
ject to. Another week will see the
crop practically under cover. 1t is a
great crop in every respect.

MRS. o. H. =. BELMONT.

While many brilliant and prominent
women in this country are championing
the cause of equal suffrage. Mrs o. H.
P. Belmont is perhaps best known for
the qualities of leadership she has dis
played in the American .'Notes-for-
women" movement.
Mrs. Belmont is a southern woman by
birth and tradition. her parents having
been of old southern stock. AS Alva L.
Smith she was d great belle in her
town and state. Her birthplace was
Mobile Ala, but her education was OBJ
tanned in the schools of France. Mrs.
Belmont's first marriage was to William
X Vanderbilt. Her daughter by this
marriage now wears the proudest title
in the English peerase. She is Con-
suelo Duchess of Marlborough, and a
leading figure in London society.
Mrs Belmonts position as leader
in the smart set of New York and New
port has not prevented her usefulness
in other lines OF activity. Besides her
work for the suffrage cause, she has
won world vide fame as a worker in

wasted no time looking for the brightest
flowers but went straight to the sweet

sweet clover patch. There he found
Busy. and she seemed to be very hard
at work taking something from the
heart of each flower she visited
Good morning, Busy Bee" said Peter,
politely.
Morning. Buz-zz, buz-z-z. Too much
replied Busy Bee, flying to the next
flower
Peter followed What do YOU work
SO hard for?'' he asked
Buz-Z-Z buZ-z-Z. was all the reply
he got as Busy Bee hurried to another
flower
Il shouldn't think there would be any
fun in working all the time" said Peter.
Tell me, Busy Bee. is it true that you
do work all the time?''
'Buz-z-Z, buZ-Z-Z." was all the reply
Peter got
Then Peter started in to count the
flowers that Busy visited, but she went
from flower to flower SO fast that he
soon grew tired of that. Then, while he
was looking somewhere else for a min
ute she disappeared. Peter was sure
that he had had his head turned only a
wee little minute. but when he looked
for her she was nowhere to be seen. He
didn t know just what to do. To tell the
truth. ne felt rather foolSh. Flnaily, he
decided that as long as he was at the
sweet clover patch he might as well fill
his stomach and straightway began to
eat. He had almost forgotten about
Busy Bee when as he started to nibble
an clover blossom there was a sharp
"BuZ-Z-Z. buZ-Z-Z!" close to one of his
long ears. Busy Bee was back again
and Peter didn't eat that particular bios
som. No. sir. he didn't. He left it for
Busy. because she seemed to want it and
he knew it is best to let Busy have what
she wants.
