Tobacco Plants AssIIetsd wien
aAcsaie Disease -Tsestment
OFFIcR OF IxFoRMATIoN,

OFFICE or IMPORTATION,
L.. s. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE
WAsHixGroS, ID. CA serious
disease to tobacco plants, which
often greatly damages the crop, has
been carefully studied by scientists
of the Department of Agriculture.
The Department has just issued an
extensive report describing the ma
ture and symptoms OF the disease
and such methods of control ae have
been found effective. Careful ex-
pertinent has shown that certain
insects spread this disease. and in
greenhouses, plants screened with
fine cloth and fnmigated with q
nicotine paper were kept free from
it. In the field the only method Of
control at present available seems
to be the prompt removal OF all
plants infected with the disease.
Laborers in the operation OF
worming, suckering and topping
tobacco plants may readily commu-
nicate infection from diseased to
healthy plants, for If healthy plants
are brought in contact with the sap
Of diseased plants the malady In apt
to develop. This is in addition TO
the spread Of the disease by insects,
and as the infection is so readily
carried it is obvious that afflicted
plants are always infection centers
so long as they remain in the field.
The methods Of fumigation tried
in the greenhouse experiments proved
so successful that the question of
their application to the seed-bed is
now under consideration by the De-
partment. The keeping of the
mosaic" infection from the seed
bed seems a most important means
of controlling its introduction and
spread in the field. In so far as
outbreaks of the disease may occur
directly in the field the matter of
successful control probably will be
found TO be exceedingly difficult.
This is a matter still being investi-
hated by the Departments scien-
lists.
The development of the masaic
disease, commonly spoken of as
Calico" in tobacco plants pro-
duces very noticeable changes in
their appearance. The blossoms of
the plant are often distorted; the
leaves may be dwarfted, distorted
and blistered and are more or less
mottled; frequently the entire plant
is dwarfed. la very young plants,
in the rosette stage, the first visible
symptom Of the disease usually APP
pears as a slight downward curling
and distorting Of the smallest, inner
most leaves.
The disease is known locally in
many sections by different names.
In the tobacco sections of Kentucky
and Tennessee "walloon" is often
used. The disease mas also been
termed ''Chlorosis," notified
top" Calico" etc.
The new bulletin regarding this
disease can be had free on aPplica-
tlon to the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, D. c. The
bulletin is No. 40, of the Depart
ment series and is entitled The
Mosaic Disease of Tobacco.

WHITE GARMENT IN DEMAND
Pressing Need for Goat" That Cricket Umpire Was Wearing to Comply
 With Regulations.

John J. McGraw was talking at Camp Marlin about his recent baseball trip abroad.
 King George liked the game he said All the English liked the game. in fact. It's superior game to their cricket, you know
 'I heard lot of cricket stories in London. A cricket. umpire wears a long white coat. We'll, heard a good story about that.
 s'The Helions Rumpstead team waa to play match, and orders went out that the umpire must wear the white coat-but that was an innovation in that backwoods village.
 "The umpire. anyhow, appeared ia white at the game all right.
 "The teams were lunching-you lunch and have tea and sleep in a cricket game-when a little girl came and said she wanted the man in the white coat
 "1The man in the white coat? said a player. We'll, you cant have him. He's busy carving a turkey.

Arkansas at the Panama Exposition.

No other Southern state is going to outshine Arkansas at the San Francisco Exposition next year. This state is raising one hundred thousand dollars to erect a building and maintain an Arkansas head quarters throughout the fair. Un- told millions of people from every where will visit the Arkansas Building and see moving pictures of Arkansas towns and institutions. Exhibits of the states natural and manufactured products will. of course be a feature. An inflow of desirable people and investment of foreign capital will be sure to fol- low. The site of the Arkansas Building was selected this week by Governor Hays. He selected a knoll on the Street of States, said to be one of the most desirable sites on the exposition grounds.

The Cow.

When summer comes the poor old COW finds sledding hard and comforts few, deep lines of trouble crease her brow. for grief is hers, the season through. Ten million flies light on her back, ten million more are on her legs, and every place the hide is slack, they build their nests and lay their eggs. All day she yields her weary tail. and swears in husky bovine tones; what wonder if she kicks the pail. or tries to break the milker's bones? Alas. the milker ponders not uron the woes that gave her bats; he reaches for a wet elmknot and plays a solo on her slats. We should be pa tient with the COWS when fiy-time drives the beasts insane. for every minute. while they browse, they Suf1er many Xmas or pam. II BoSSy kicks you on the chin, or puts her trilby in the pail, or tries to drive your whiskers in by blows repeated with her tail, don't let your angry passions rise, or for a large spiked bludgeon reach, but gently brush away the flies, and tell the critter she's a peach. Then put your mangled face in splints, and write a creed, serene and wise, insisting that the public prints should call on folks to swat the flies.-Walt Mason.

TEACHING THE BOY TO FLOW
Praise and Help Are Always in Or. der Even If the Work Done
 Ia Poor.

Let me have hold of that plow," said father to his boy, who was do- ing the best he knew to turn a good furrow. Tt does not seem to be in you to make good plowman."
 Hurt, and his ieeling of conscious ability to do things much lessened, the boy walked sadly away to other work, while the father did, it is true, a fine job of blowing. The father had helped the field and hurt the boy.
 Fine, son. fine," said another fla ther that day to his son, also wrestling for the first time with the problem of blowing. You are doing bravely Now, may 1 suggest that you lower your heel wee bit and lengthen out the braces a hole? You see the line of draft is trifle high Let me show you the principle of the thing
 Together they counseled and tink- cred. The lad started off again, do- ing better work. pleased. grateful and confident. He had been given no- table start toward success in life just by that bit of praise, encouragement and teaching.
 Half the value of the farm is as a place to develop the boy.-Breeders' Gazette.

ONLY LEFT PAIR OF SLIPPERS
Reason for Curious Monument in Am sterdam Over Burial Place of
 Eccentric Individual.

There stands in church iii Amster- dam an ancient and curious monument Of white marble which always attracts the attention of visitors, and their curiosity is usually heightened by it's inscription. On the monument are en- 5raved two slippers of a singular shape. with the inscription. "Effen Nyt.' which, in English. would be even nothing" or, more colloquially
 ut. nothing else The story that is cold of this strange device is as fol lows.
 A certain rich man, who was very extravagant in his tastes, because possessed of the idea that he had just so many years to live and no more. and he calculated that if he spent a stated portion of his principal every year his life and his property would expire together
 He was lavishly generous to others, as well as indulgent of his own whims, and it so happened that he died the very year he had prophesied would be his last He had, furthermore, brought his fortune to such a low ebb that, after his few debts were paid. nothing remained of all his possessions. aside from the clothes in which he was to be buried, but pair of curious old slip. pers
 Some of his relatives. to whom he had been kind in his life, erected this strangely decorated monument to mark his burial place.

 Youthful Loyalty.

Young William is American born, but his Irish ancestry crops up now and then in various manners. The other day. for example. the little lad was asked why he didn't want to sit on the knee of certain business ac- quaintanee of his father
 MT. So-and-So likes little boys" he was told
 Does he like you. mamma?" asked William, after a momentary hesita- tion.
 Well, no,' was mammas honest an- swer. "I don't know that he does, very much"
 Then that's the reason I don't want to sit on his knee was the quick-wit- ted and fiattefip reply.

EBERT BEDF SAYS

Whats the use stealing time that you cant use.
 A woman sometimes makes her self look old by worrying about how to keep young.
 An 1e-year-oli bride has di- vor5ed her millionaire IT husband, John Bell, and tapped him for $5O,oOO ali nony.
 Where the man gets the nerve to make ey es at a girl that he does not know is more than we can see.
 No person is worth a million dollars he is m erely custodian of that amount of money for few years.
 When steel gets too hot it loses it's temper; when man loses his temper he gets too hot.
 When man has a good sized nest egg he can usually find some girl who is willing to be his chicken.
 When a girl marries a man who has deC Jared himself ready to die for her, she is likely to find that she has marrled dead one.
 Too many people develop crows [ .et under their eyes without sui ficient caws therefor.
 We have seen girls trust their lives to men they wouldn't trust their pocket books to.
 A husband who lays around the house deserves to be henpeeked.
 If mans wife wasn't the better half he wouldn't think she was good enough for him.
 The price of goods is regulated | by supply and demand-lh sup. ] ply of customers abd the ademans for profits.
 If mothers and fathers only knew as much as they think their chi dren do, there would be VI ols lot of highly educated people in this old world.
 Probably one reason children are not punished more than they are Is because parents are reminded by their own children of the things they did when of like age.
 If no time were wasted it would not be necessary to work mo- e than about half as many hours as we do.
 The girl who fails to take advan- tage of the leap year may be just as sorry as the one who did.
 The real good roads problem sticking to the straight and narrow path.

Commissioner Pages Weekly Letter.

Now is the time to begin to think about utilizing the waste fruit and garden crops that cannot be sold or consumed at home. Peaches, ap- ples, tomatoes and other perisha- ble crops that get ripe and cannot be sold are fine for canning. A home canner can be bought for 5000. or you can get bulletins that will tell you how to can vege- tables at home without even buying canner. If you decide to buy a canner, get prices from your local merchant or write me and 1 will give you the names of several manufacturers.
 have ,OOO bulletins on Can ming Fruits. Vegetables and Pre- serves and 1000 on Canning Home Vegetables" and I will be glad to send both to you. They are valuable bulletins on how to take care of something that other wise we would lose.
 Every county in Arkansas ships canned goods in by the car load, and we buy those things that we couln have canned at home. We pay for the products, the freight and commissions. and if canned at home, the only thing we would have to buy is the cans. One little girl last year canned more than 800 cans of tomatoes and sold them be- fore all the work was done. If we put up more than can be used at home, there is always market for good clean fruits and vegetables. Write for the bulletins or any in formation you desire about taking care of the products that are too plentiful now but will be very scarce little later on.
 Many sections of Arkansas have had rain recently to break the dry speI and sonsS nave n5t. Ir1seithsr case the importance of shallow cultivation should not be over looked. Many crops have been madeS simply by proper cultivation. A farmer in north Arkansas writes: l have made better crop this year than have since 1879. 1 prepared a seed bed and 1 have worked my crop like it ought to be worked. A dry shirt causes more drou.hs than anything else in Ar kansas" The season has been unusual but crops should not suf- fer so much if cultivated properly. Continued shallow cultivation is the only way to hold what moisture there is now in the soil.
 have great many letters from farmers asking for help in saving their hogs. Hog cholera is our worst hog disease. Write for our bulletin on hog cholera so you will recognize the disease when it first appears. The state veterinarian, Dr. R. M. Cow, at Fayetteville. will vaccinate your hogs and will only charge you for his hotel bill and the actual cost of the serum, and will make no charge for his services. The work can be done for your neighbors who may have sick hogs, at the same time, and the expense will be much less.
