Mr.. Adams Address.

Mr.. Adams said, in part: City plan
ming is popularity regarded as meaning
the mere accomplishment of the eX-
ternal features of the town or city,
such as the architectural qualities of
its buildings, or the efficiency of its
transportation. and does not convey TO
the average man the extent to which 1t
enters. or should enter, into the funda-
mental aspects of city life. To large
extent Washington, Edinburgh and
Paris are expressions of this restrict
ed, although important, aspect of city
planning. They represent the best at
tempts TO score monumental effect
and spaciousness in regard to public
buildings, parks, wide streets and
transportation.
The two first and fundamental con-
sideTationS in an average city" he con-
tinued. are industry and residence.

Burial occurred at the ci:y
cemetery Tuesday afternoon, al
ter funeral services at the resi-
dencc by Rev. b. W. Hampton.
The family has the sympathy OF
the entire community in their be-
rcayement.
AT the request of their scout
master, Judge Elyis Stair, the
Boy Scouts attended the funeral
in body. They also sent a
gorgeous floral offering as a
testimonial of their esteem and
childish sorrow. After funeral
services by Rev. b. W. Hampton,
the scouts assembled in a body
and marched as an escort to the
hearSe bearing the remains OF
their companion. At the grave
Scout pallbearers took charge Of
the casket, and in hushed silence
the troop consigned TO its last
resting place the body of their
friend and playmate. The scene
was sad aud pathetic. Few of
us probably ever before witness
ed similar scene-where mere
children perform the solemn rites
of burying the remains Of a
playmate.

RELlNoUIsHED THE LEASE.

Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall
have been pursued by an unkind fate
In their search for a dwelling place
since Mr.. Marshall stepped into the
vice-presidency on March last.
They made the Shoreham hotel their
residence as a base to begin a search
for a house. Mrs. Marshall, between
thousands OF official calls. was escort
ed by scores of real estate men to in
spect what they positively knew was
just the kind Of house for the vice
president and his wife. One by one
they we're turned down until after
months Of search one was found that
suited.
The lease was signed and Mrs.
Marshall began to get things ready for
moving day" Incidentally to these
preliminary arrangements she called
upon the woman who owns the place.
She was informed that a purchaser
had been found for the house. Would
the vice-president and Mrs. Marshall
mind rellnquishing the lease?
OF course, they minded" but didn't
tell the owner so. With their usual
good grace. although knowing they
could enforce the lease. they released
the woman from her contract.

RLIeHTs OF NURSERY STOCK.

A number of different blights, con-
corning which little has been known,
do considerable damage to conifers in
nurseries in the United States, accord
Ing to bulletin No. "A. bureau of plant
industry, United States department of
agriculture. The Increasing amount of
forest planting and the danger that i'm
ported stock will bring in serious tree
diseases make it especially important
that methods of controlling these
blights be found in order to encourage
the growing or planting stock in this
country.
Sun scorch is the commonest sum-
mer trouble among nursery stock. The
roots of the plants affected die before
or at the same time as the tops. Death
is caused by excessive water loss. It
usually occurs when the air is hot and
dry and the soil around the roots Is
dry. The disease is worse on sandy
soils in crowded beds and on raised
parts of beds. On sandy soils 1t may
kill suddenly and In di1nite patches
Successful preventive measures that
have been tested by the department
are watering, shading and avoidance
Of crowding. In nurseries located on
mineral soils the humus content
should be increased.
Winter killing, another disease
causes the tops Of the plants to dry
when the soil is frozen 30 that the
plants cannot take up water. The
preventive measures most used con-
and windbreaks.
The tops Of plants affected by the
mulch-blight die in winter. This hap
pens while the mulch is still on or oc-
casionally just after 1t is removed.
The roots do not die till sometime aft
er the tops. The immediate cause of
death is unknown. The disease may
be prevented by avoidance OF heavy,
close mulches. Spraying with Bordeaux
mixture just before the beds are
mulched in the fall may also be of
value.
There are a number of needle-de-
stroying fungi. some Of which are GER
tam sooner or later 10 cause damage
In the nurseries in the more moist
parts of the United States. They have
so far done little damage in our nur-
series, and have been little studied
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture at
the proper time will presumably pre-
vent damage from any Of them. The
proper times for spraying have not yet
been determined. The Importation OF
European stock should be discouraged
in order to avoid bringing parasites
which have not yet reached this coun-
try.
A great deal Of blight occurs In red
cedar seedlings and transplants. The
cause and methods Of prevention are
unknown. Shading, watering and fire.
quent spraying should be tested.

and rest is TO be preferred to the use
OF feed and water" cars
Cattle should be weighed before
being loaded wherever practicable,
since comparison Of this weight with
the sale weight will show the net
shrinkage. Moreover, this weight at
point OF origin may be OF material
benefit to the shipper In case OF a
wreck or a very poor run to market.
There is no way OF entirely prevent
ing shrinkage in the shipping OF cat
tie, but by judicious care in handling
and feeding the cattle just previous
to shipping the shrinkage may be
lessened. II cattle are to be In tran
SIT for "a hours or longer It is a good
plan to feed about two bales OF nice
bright hay for each carload a few
hours before loading.
When care Is used In trailing the
cattle to the loading pens, not driv-
ing them too fast nor too far in a
day and giving them FIVE OF six hours
a day to Craze on the way, long dis
tances may be covered with no APP
parent injury to the cattle. On arri-.
val at the pens 1t is well to give the
animals light feed Of hay with a
little water, or allow them to Craze
short time before loading them. I'M
less the grass is very luxuriant. An
excessive I'LL of water or green fodder
or grass Just before loading is not
good for the cattle. as II may cause
them to scour in transit; then. too,
they will not stand up as we'll in the
cars.
