NOTES

Your corn crop now depends very
much upon your diligence in culti-
waiting it. Give il a shallow Guilt
walton after every rain so as to keep
a dust mulch on the ground during
all dry weather, and do not let
weeds and sprouts grow for they
take fertility and moisture that the
corn may need.
Plan 10 sow cOwpeas in the corn
at the last cultivation, which should
be IN about two weeks now.
Don't you wish you had sOwed
Burt oats? They are now ripe and
fine crop too.
There will be prizes offered at
the corn show for oats and wheat, SO
save samples of sheaves Of these
crops, also of the grain TO bring to
the show.
Have YOU thinned your corn? If
not do it now. Thin to two or three
stalks to the hill, or to every 70 to
81 inches apart in the drill rows.

PEANUTS

Now is q good time TO sow pea
nuts. They will still have abund-
ant time to ripen before frost. In
many parts Of the South they are a
very important farm crop. They are
used for various purposes, princi-
pally for soil Improvement, hog pas
turc. the manufacture Of peanut oil
and for roasting as food for man.
Peanuts belong to the legume
family Of plants along with cow
peas, clover, etc, and so draw q
large amount Of nitrogen from the
air to enrich the soil. They make
as good hog pasture as cowpeas or
clover. and the nuts are an excellent
substitute for corn TO fatten hogs.
Many people eat peanuts instead Of
meat.
Peanuts grow best on light, sandy
soil with a fairly good supply OF
moisture. They should be drilled
six 10 ten inches apart in rows 9 10
feet apart so they can be cultivated.
They should be taken out Of the
hulls carefully for planting You
will get n better stand il they are
removed from the shuck.
Prepare the ground thoroughly
before planting and tend them well
until they begin 10 send out runners.
These runners bloom and take root,
and here is where the peanuts
mostly grow. Many people cover
these blooms with dirt to aid them
in taking root
Prizes will be offered for peanuts

II is a good plan TO divide the flock

PEAR BLIGHT

Pear blight, or fire blight, Is
causing considerable loss to or
,chard owners at the present time.
This scourge Of pears, apples and
plums is known by variety OF
names, as blossoms blight, twig
blight, fire blight, fruit blight,
cankcr, etc.
The symptoms are too well known
60 most orchardists. The most strik-
ing symptom is the twig or limb be-
ing covered with brown leaves, con-
trasting sharply with the bright
green foliage OF surrounding
branches. In winter il is recog-
nized by the presence of the brown
leaves adhcring TO the affected
branches The leaves look as IL
they had been scorched by fire and
II is from this that the name fire
blight was originated.
The disease is due to bacteria
that enter the tender parts Of the
tree. These bacteria live over win
Ter in the cankercd areas found on
DO trunks and limbs Of trees affect
I'd the previous season. During the
blooming period they are carried
from these cankcred areas 10 the
flowers by bees and various other
insects. The bacteria work down
through the flower into the host and
cause the dying twigs as noticed on
the affected trees. The fact that
the bacteria work entirely within
the host explains why il cannot be
controlled by any spray or wash
that may be applied.
There are two methods OF con-
trolling the disease in affected trees.
The first is 10 cut out and burn all
diseased branches, and the second is
10 keep trees growing slowly.
II is absolutely necessary that the
orchard be gone over several times
during the winter and all suspi-
cious branches removed. II this
practice is carefully followed there
will be no affected limbs left TO act
as sources Of Infection in the spring.
The trees should also be watched

THE STRIKE INVESTIGATION REPORT.

In % ar a $ m report on the mine conditions in West Virginia
nid by Senator Borsh. criteises martial law and military courts it
)ustihes Governor Hatfield and completely vindicates his course
When Governor Hatfield came into office he found martial law es
trying prisoners. He found a number OF men already convicted and
held in jail Moreover, he found a large number Of state militia in
the held and an expense bill accumulating at the rate of about 5000
per day.
AT the earliest moment Governor Hatfield set himself 10 correct
mis- condition.. He met the miners and learned their grievances. He
me IN operators and obtained concessions from them. He brought
IN eontending forces together and finally secured a settlement. In
the meanwhile, however, he had used his power and position TO mti.
gate the seventies OF martial law. Not a single one of the sentences
imposed by the military courts became effective, and only a small
NUMBER OF the offenders were temporarily detained AS a matter OF
iaet' men held by the military court. who we're with good reason. be-
heved to be guilty OF murder, we're released from Jail by Governor
athe and turned over TO the civil courts. In this he took the wise
and safe ground that whatever onehses had been committed against
the law OF the state Of West Virginia, the offender should be tried bv
IN in courts OF the state and punished by them, and not by a mil
itary court. The whole report, therefore, dealing with martial law
courts IN West Virginia vindtcates rather than reflects the
present administration in this state.
Ii was perhaps a mistake on the part OF Governor Glasscock TO
proclaim military law in the strike zone. The difficulties of the
situation, however, must not be overlooked. The disorders in West
virginia were no more serious than occurred in the crowded civ OF
Indianapolis, and were certainly not attended by ay tragedy. such
rs recently occurred in the Calumet strike region. For political
reasons professional demagogues in the Senate of the United States
singled West Virginia out for attack, and have sought TO dscredit
ence Tor a short time of martial law, as a subject OF criticism The
records show that martial law was not vigorously appIed. that M
man suffered from it longer than a few weeks detention and thu,
PROBABLY II was effective in preventing serious disorders Rut Il,
should be borne in mind, in justification of West Virginia that the
authority which created martial law in this state also mitipated its
severity and at the earliest possible moment restored the owe q,
the civil courts.
