HOW TO PREVENT the
ToaAcco SPlsTWoHM.

Transplant the tobacco crop as early
as possible In order to manure IL be-
fore the appearance Of the most des-
tructive generation Of the tobacco
splitwor1n, advises bulletin No. 50 OF
the Department Of Agriculture. in
making recommendation for the con-
troll OF this worm. When the early
injection Is very severe, prime on and
destroy the infected leaves; destroy
all tobacco stubble Is soon as the
crop is harvested 10 prevent the breed
ing of alternating generation, clean
up and destroy all trash In and around
fields and tobacco barns, do not fol-
low potatoes By tobacco as the infec-
ton Of tobacco has been more severe
in such cases than where different ro'
tat;on was followed, grow potatoes as
FAR as possible from tobacco fields.
In Cuba and the United States the
splitworm Is known on tobacco as
''leaf-miner'' only. Only the Older
tobacco leaves are effected unless the
infestation Is very severe; and in these
the lower leaves, grayish, irregular
blotehes are produced, which later
turn brown and become fragile so that
the TOBACCO is unfit for wrappers. Al
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, where the infection
is very slight, the larva In most cases
begins work in the ''rufiies" along the
midrib and they sfterward migrate
and form mines In various parts OF
the leaf.

Some girls of our school are very keen
And one very rough, and we call her

She Is not only keen, but very slick,

All the little boys he would slap with
his hand;
But the fun Of him was really a show,
And ali the boys they called him Joe.

And all the children love TO play,
And we have a teacher, and she Is Just

But when she gets mad she is ready to

John easr" Tomato.

The firm of J. Bolgiano & Sons,
well-known, reliable seed growers, of
Baltimore, Nd, have this year offered
for sale a wonderful tomato called
''John Baer," which is the result of
fifteen generations OF improvement and
selection for earliness, quality, shape
fruit, color and shipping quality. Il
is the offspring of two marvellous To-
matoes-one great specialist having
devoted ten years in selecting and inn
proving the other parent, II is claim
ed to be the earliest tomato on earth:
as it produces large, beautiful, solid
shipping tomatoes in thirty days from
plants grown in Veneer or Paper
bands with roots undisturbed.
There are from fifty to one hundred
fruit to each plant. All the fruit rip
ems evenly up TO the stem with no Grip
Piles, no scalas, no blight, no cracked,
no wrinkled, no one sided, uneven,
SCARED fruit and when even dead, ripe
will not burst. II is a beautiful,
glistening, bright red color and has q
mild, delicious sweet flavor. IL Is al
most seedless, a marvellous stem setter
and often ten fruit in first cluster,
solid and meaty. 1t has just enough
foliage and will stand plenty of ma
nuring without going to vine.
1t is claimed to be the most perfect
shipping tomato ever twenty
four fruit exactly filling a six carrier
basket. Each of the fruit weighs six
and one-half ounces. The tJohn
Baer" Tomato was saved only By the
originator, Mr.. John Baer, who per-
sonally selected and picked every To-
mato from which he saved this seed.
selecting only the most beautiful, per-
feet fruit OF the early stem-set cluster.
As a packing tomato, John Baer''
is a miracle. They all pack fancy and
all pack whole. Peelers can prepare
three bushels of ''John Baer" Toma-
toes to one bushel of any other tomato.
AsSAnS SuSu tFStucuuOuS yleauef,
bushel of "John Baer" Tomatoes can
be gathered in one-third the time of
any other tomato.
A large baltimore Tomato Packer
had all the "John Baer" Tomatoes he
could secure, packed separately, run
ming them through special process
for his fanciest trade and private use.
This Is the first year this seed has
been offered publicly for sale, and, ON
account of the short supply the price
is:-Pkt. sl.00; l-2 OF. $3.50; Ga. 500;
Ia Id. $500; Lib. 5000 While this
seems an enormous price to pay for a
tomato, with all the advantages OF
this wonderful tomato, we think il
well worth q trial.

BUsHwooD. Mn.. Feb. 10, 1914.
Editor of the Beacon
Dear Siis-To your readers who are
inierestesifn the affairs OF st. Mary's
Hospital: ] am sure Ii will be q mat
ter Of pleasure 60 learn that the late
Secretary-Treasurer, Mr.. Enceh d.
Abel, after a months elaboration has
found that be can safely and sanely
acknowledge the existance of the new
Board OF Directors. and that he has
turned over 70 the new Treasurer, MIR.
stephen M. Jones, the hooks and
monies OF the association. receiving
therefore. the acknowledgment Of the
new Board.
u is TO be hoped that his change OF
sentiment may prompt him 70 90 a
step further and correct the injurious
impression made on the COMPTROLLER
and other I3tate officials by his letter
written presumably when he was feel
ing agrieved by the result of our late
election. 1t may not be as easy 10 sci
things right as il is to get them wrong;
put the generous, broad-minded, fair
man Is ever ready TO correct a mistake
and this community will be painfully
surprised If Mr.. Enoeh b. Abel prove
an exception 10 that rule.
We have now but a few days in which
to secure State appropriation and
on that appropriation, or the lack OF
it depends the life or death of the Hos
pital. Let Us appreciate that fact and
act accordingly.
And, Mr.. Editor, without drawing
out long article, let me say to the
friends OF the Hospital, to all those
generous people who stand ready to
help on a good work, to the people
who have no selfish motives, but are
looking solely to the public good in
the alienation of human suffering TO
them, let me say you are making no
mistake. The experience of the past
year has demonstrated that hospital
is needed in ST.. Mary's county, for II
puts within easy reach OF everyone,
rich and poor, a place where can he
had good medical treatment, together
with what counts for quite much, the
constant, careful, kind attention of
experienced trained nurses, and all at
moderate cost, or no cost at all. as
the case may suggest.
Give, therefore, TO the Hospital
whatever substantial aid your means
or inclination may dictate: but give
With, at all times your earnest,
outspoken, moral support.
With great respect, yours truly,
j. w. RENEHAN.
