Advantages of Women's Clubs

"In an isolated spot in New Eng
land club was begun ten years ago
with handful of farmers wives and
daughters living within an area of a
dozen miles. They used what material
they had at hand; they added to it;
they studied simple things at first and
later took up more difficult subjects,
and then they did practical work for
their community. Today that club is
made up of many well-read women
of all ages who have acquired what
may truly be called a liberal educa-
ton, and the whole neighborhood has
been raised and enlightened by what
they have done for 1t in hundred
ways. And they had nothing more to
begin with than any group of women
has under similar conditions. '-Wom-

The Bean Disease Situation i'm Michigan
BY H. II. MunSie
Research Agricultural College
By j. II. MunSie

Michigan ranks first among the
states in the production of beans. The
value of her been crop for 1913 was
approximately $4,000, 100000. 1t is
estimated by the bean dealers of the
state that the crop would have been
worth at least $4,000, 100000 more if it
had not been damaged by the two dis
eases Anthracnose and Blight. When
the shortage in yield, discolored
beans, shrunken seed and cost of pick
ing are considered this seems to be a
conservative estimate. In many sec
tons the average 'pick" of 1913
beans ran as high as eight pounds,
and in some cases twenty to the
bushel. On examination of many
samples of Gull beans from various
sections of the state it was found that
at least so per cent of the pickings
was made up of diseased seed. A
further loss is due to the cost of
picking" and the reduction of price
paid to the farmer on account of the
discolored beans.
At the present season when great
areas are being prepared for the 1914
bean crop every effort should be made
to prevent, as far as possible, repe-
tition Of last years loss. The only
thing which can be done at this time
of year is to secure seed free from
even a slight discooration. Every
affected seed is a source of contamina-
ton to the fields, and for this reason
hand picking should be done at least
twice to remove as much of the dis
ease as possible. Dealers should be
able to furnish information concern
ing the history of the seed purchased,
where grown, yielding qualities and
freedom from disease.
Seed should not be bought simply
because it is northern grown" or
western" because bean diseases
are prevalent wherever beans are
grown commercially, and such seed
is no better than examination for
discoloration would indicate.
The Agricultural College will de-
termine, free of charge, this spring
the percentage of disease-colored seed
and send the grower report upon
the findings in each sample. The
sample sent should be at least half
a pint in quantity, and should be
marked with the name and address
of the sender. An accompanying letter
should give the name of the grower,
locality where grown, and if hand
picked, the pick per bushel.
In addition to clean seed the prac-
tice of crop rotation helps greatly to
avoid disease epidemics. Serious
losses have been reported on fields
fortified with manure from stock fed
on bean fodder. Precaution should be
taken throughout the season against
cultivating in or walking through the
bean fields while the plants are wet
with rain or dew. To do so is to
spread the disease from one plant to
another.
1t is difficult to say which of these
diseases is the more injurious. 1t is
we'll known that in areas where con-
tinued wet weather is prevalent, An

brooder house floor after the chicks
have gone under the hover for the
night, providing the house is dry and
is not liable to make it damp.
The Indian Runner Duck is
claimed to be the most prolific egg
producer of the duck family and
some have gone so far as to say they
will outlay most of our breeds of
poultry. Their small size adapts
them to laying and makes them good
rangers. History does not authentic
ally establish the origin of this
variety, but it is supposed they
originally came from India. They
dress about four and the meat is ex-
cellent.
The day a chick leaves the shell,
ova, or eggs, that it can ever lay,
and several thousand more. Nearly
every chick body possesses several
thousand of these tiny yolks and it
is possible to count as many as sew
eral thousand in practically every
pullet. No amount of feeding, no
system of housing, no method of
care and management, however good
it may be, will add one more yolk to
the number already provided by ma
ture. The method of breeding, feed
ing, housing, and care determines
largely the number of tiny yolks
which any hen will be able to ripen
or develop into full-sized yolks and
manufacture into the finished pro-
duct Breeding has more influence
over this than any other one thing,
and don't ever get this idea that you
feed a hen to feed yolks and eggs
into her body. You feed her for the
purpose of enabling her to develop
the yolks which nature and breeding
have already provided and made
possible.-T. f. Quisenberry, direc-
tor Missouri experiment station.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-06

species in any locality is the one
most likely to suffer.
Other things being equal, light
ming seeks the tallest tree, or an iso-
lated tree, or one on high ground. A
deep-roote tree is better conduct
or than shallow-rooted one, and a
tree full of sap, or wet with rain. is
of course a better conductor than a
dry one.
Lightning sets fires by igniting
the tree itself, particularly when f
is dead, or partly decayed and punky
or by igniting the dry humus or duff
at its base. The forest soil. when
dried out, ignites readily, because Il
is made of partly decayed twigs and
leaves, and it can hold shoulder
ing fire for a considerable period. 1t
is probable that most of the lightn-
ing-set fires start in the duff.
In the mountains of southern Cali
fornia, Arizona and New Mexico
there are likely to be each year a
number of electrical disturbances
known as "dry thunder storms"
They come at the end Of the long dry
season, and being unaccompanied by
rain are very likely to start many
SER us fires. For this reason the
forest service has to keep up its
maximum fire fighting strength in
those regions until the rains are
fully established. In the plans and
organization for fire fighting the
service aims particularly to catch
these unpreventable lightning-set
fires at the time they stat.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-06-06

thracnose is more noticeable, espe-
cially upon the pods and seeds.
Blight also is widespread under such
conditions, and inflicts serious damage
to the crop by its attack upon the
leaves, which causes a marked reduc-
, ton of the yield and uneven ripening
of the pods.
A workable control measure is
known for AnthracnOse but at present
the control of Blight remains un-
| solved. Anthracnose can be absolutely
avoided by securing seed from clean
pods. The selected pods must have
no diseased spots whatever upon
them, and must be kept away from
diseased pods. These clean pods may
be dipped for ten minutes in corrosive
sublimate solution tone part to one
thousand parts of water), to make
doubly sure of avoiding contamina-
ton. Dry in the sun away from the
dust of the bean field. Shell so that
the dust from the bean fields or from
other beans will not get to the shelled
seed. Seal this seed in air-tight fruit
jars. This seed should be used to
plant seed plot which should be on
clean ground. The crop from this
seed should be free from Anthracnose
and largely free from Blight and if
kept from contamination, should give
extremely desirable seed for next
year On a small plot of this kind,
any diseased plants may be easily de-
tected and pulled out and burned.
This is a wholesome sanitary meas
ure. Such pod selection has been
practiced in Michigan by few grow
ers and with excellent success and, in
the one case carefully examined, the
seed from the general crop, while not
absolutely disease free, contained not
single bean that would have been
taken out in ordinary commercial
hand picking.
Although the method given is
known to eliminate Anthracnose, it
will not entirely control Bean Blight,
which is a bacterial disease. The
disease germs are carried over from
one season to the next on and in the
affected seeds, and upon the contami-
mated seeds; in all probability they
also live over on diseased pods and
trash. No doubt the germs washed
from the affected leaves and pods TO
the ground, dry and are disseminated
by the wind.
During the present season the Col
lege will investigate many phases of
the bean disease problem. Careful
experiments will be carried out along
the lines of seed disinfection, resistent
varieties and imported clean seed. 1t
is hoped that through pains-taking in
vestigation along lines suggested by
knowledge of the organisms which
cause the diseases measures of con-
troll may be perfected.
To stimulate interest in this prob
lem, and to furnish bean growers
with first hand knowledge of the con-
ditions special bulletin (No. 6S) has
been issued by the experiment station
and may be secured by applying to
Director K. S. Shaw, East Lansing,

Do not neglect to clean the poultry
house often. Filth is a breeder of
disease. Filth is the profit-eating
germ of the poultry business. If you
want to make money from your
poultry attend to this little duty of
keeping everything clean and in a
sanitary condition around the poul-
try houses and yards.
1t does not matter what your aim
is in the poultry business, even if it
is only a few for the house, you can
not afford to raise mongrels. Get
some eggs from a reliable breeder,
start right, and raise good poultry,

The man who owns a good farm is
to be congratulated, especially if he
is tilling it and is contented and
happy. He has something that will

upon artificial conditions, as does
many other things. Unfavorable

We must conclude that the sluggish
spirited, dull eyed man must have a
poor chance in this world when we re-

have a bright eye and a highly strung

credit for intentions instead OF
actions, many a man would be judgeC

How to Know Curl.
The abnormally swollen, thickened
and distorted leaves, is a familiar
sight to every grower of peaches. The
disease often affects the shoots, caus-
ing them to swell and stop growth,
even killing them frequently. The
affected leaves not only curl and
thicken, but become sickly yellow in
color, often tinted with red
The Disease.
Just how this parasite or disease
enters the young leaves and shoots is
now known. The fungus (disease)
passes the winter under the bud

The Weather.
Many growers have noticed that
curl is favored by cold, wet weather
while the leaves are opening.
Control Measures.
1t has been noticed that trees
sprayed during the dormant season
for San Jose Scale do not suffer from
curl. Since that time it has been re-
