Wilson Wedding May 8.

Washington, April 49, - Although
there has been no formal announcement
from the White House as yet Of th
date for the wedding OF Secretary Nc
Adoo and Miss Eleanor Wilson, young
est daughter Of President and Mrs. Will
son, friends Wis are in a position to
know say May has been tentatively
selected. The affair is expected to be
private, Mr.. McAdoo's colleagues in the
cabinet being practically the only guests
outside OF the two families
During the last few days Washington
society has come to accept as settled
that the wedding would take place dur
ing the first week in May and also that
the invitation list would be very small.
1t is taken for granted that whatever
preparations are made for the event will
not require the time and busy activity
which preceded the Wilson-Sayre we'd
ding last November. Miss Wilson'S
trousseau, it is said, practically is com
pleted.

Malaria in the South.

Figures given out by the Public Healtl
Service in Washington appear to indi
cate material decrease in malarial dis
eases in the South during the year 1918
The same figures, however, show tina
malaria is still largely prevalent.
In order to obtain statistics on th,
subject, the Public Health Service SEN
out inquiries to all thephysicians in tn,
States OF Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia
Mississippi, Florida and South Carolina,
Only about one-sixth of the physicians
reported, but the returns for the sia
months from May to November, 1918,
gave total OF -, $50 cases for Alabama.
Arkansas for August to November, in.
elusive, reported 1888 cases; South
Carolina from August to November, in
elusive, reported $4,000 cases; Florida
reported for the same period 8, 100 cases.
Georgia reported from August to Oc-
tober, inclusive, 1895 cases; Mississippi
reported for the entire year6 81 cases.
Discussing the economic aspect Of
malarial fever, the report says that the
average loss OF time per man employed
in sawmills, on cotton plantations, ETC.,
Oh account Of the disease is in many
places estimated at atleast two weeks in
the season from June / to November l..
It is also pointed out that of the
81 ,061 cases Of malanal fever reported
q, 394 cases, nearly one-third, were said
to have occurred in children under Is
years Of age.
The malaria tax on the South is heavy.
Evidence that the disease il decreasing
is most welcome, but when only one
sixth Of the physicians report nearly
100000 cases the inference is strong
that there are many thousands Of unre-
ported cases, all OF which represent the
loss Of money aud time and the impair
nlent Of efficiency. The baniehment OF
malaria from the South could be hasten
ed by effective war on the mosquito pest
The drainage OF swamps and the bring
ing Of wet lands under cultivation -
duce the mosquito output, and conse-
quently there is less malaria.
Malarial diseases once were general in
The Middle West, but not much is heard
of malaria at present In localities
where the swamp area has diminised
malaria has declined in like proportion.

LARGE Farms More Profitable

The average net return from 25 of
the better farms in Gallatin valley
in 1912 was nearly three times as
great as the average of all the farms
in the valley. judged by the so farms
which are investigated. Twenty-Five
OF the poorer farms, on the average,
paid their owners less than 6 per cent
on the money invested, and gave them
no returns for their labor. These fig
ures are taken from a bulletin just
issued by the Montana experiment sta.
ton, and written by Prof E. l.. Cur.
rier of the farm management depart.
ment of the experiment station on the
subject of Farm Management in the
Gallatin Valley" The conclusions are
based upon the study of 25 of the best
farms in one township in the valley
The purpose of the bulletin was to
determine what differences in man.
agement of these farms, all under prac-
tically the same conditions of climate,
soil, surroundings, markets, ETC., pro.
duced such marked divergence in the
results financially to their owners.
Some of Professor Curriers' conclu.
siOns from the examination he made
are that the larger farms are rather
more profitable than the smaller ones,
that the combination of stock and
grain raising is more profitable than
grain raising alone. that the more di-
.e,sified the farming the higher the
profit. that better management of the
soil was an important factor in the
difference, that more livestock on the
farm means higher profits, that dairy.
ing and sheep raising add notably to
tile profits and that at present the av'
erage Gallatin valley farmer is getting
for his labor and business ability only
little better wages than his hired
man.

Ten Hints to Cry Farmers

The experience of dry farmers and
investigators over period of many
years indicates:
l. A deep clay loan soil is best.
2. Plow deep.
3. Follow the plow with disk and
harrow Except fall plowing in re-
gions of little snow and high temper
ature.) Disk in early spring to pre-
vent evaporation.
4. Destroy weeds, they use mois.
ture.
5. Rotate crops and return manure
In fertile soil plants require less mois
ture.
6. Sow only by the drill methods
S. Feed crops on the place.
8. Modern machinery and plenty oi

farming.

Sorry for Their King.

An English professor, who had been
a fellow-student and friend OF Edward
VII when he was the Prince OF Wales, was
appointed honorary physician to His
Majesty shortly after he became king.
The professor was very proud of this
and wished his students to know of the
honor conferred upon him. So he wrote
upon the black board in his classroom:
"Prof. Baker is pleased to inform his stu
dents that be has been appointed honor
airy physician to His Majesty, King Ed
ward"
The professor shortly left the room
and when he returned to meet another
class he could not understand why they
should be SO much amused at what he had
written. Later, however, he discovered
that some one had carefully added to his
announcement the following:
ssGod save the King" - Youths Com
Daniou.

Our Agricultural Department.

In the current issue of Farm and
Ftreside appears the following para
graph which demonstrates the value OF
the agricultural department at Wash
ington:
''The department Of agriculture does
some of its best work in protecting US
against pests. Many Of them, like the
Gypsy moth, the chestnut blight, the
scale insects, the boil weevil, the alfalfa
weevil, and others have slipped in, in
spite of vigilance, and, like the Eng
lish sparrow, have found in new field
freedom from ther old enemies and an
opportunity of doing in some cases ten
fold the damage Of which they were
capable in their native lands.
"Recently some Arizona cotton growers
imported cotton seed from Egypt which
was found infested with the pink boil
worm, the greatest pest in the Egyptian
fields. The seed was contiscated, as it
should have been. To have introduced
the pink boil worm might have ruined the
cotton industry Of America. 1t is quite
possible that in this one act the de-
partment did more for the financial
benefit of the country than its activi-
ties have cost US in all the history Of
the country"
