Miss Nellie V. Walker, whose home is in the little town of Moulton, Iowa, has gone to Paris to study art. She didn't have money enough of her own to make the trip, but men of wealth, seeing her to be a sculptress of great promise, raised without her knowl- edge $4,OOO, which they advanced to her as loan. Miss Walkers most famous work is "Her Son." which won the grand prize at the Chicago Art institute few months ago.

SAND PATCH TUNNEL A
GREAT PIECE OF WORK
improvements Completed Show What
Has Been Done-History of the
Tunnel

one or the largest and most inter
eSung improvements completed by
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in
recent years was the construction of
the new double-trick tunnel and re-
vision of alignment at Sand Patch
Pa, on the main line Of the Conne,,s-
vile Division. The main line from
Cumberland, Md, to ConnellsviIle.
Pa, crosses the Allegheny mountains
at Sand Patch, about thirty-three
miles west Of Cumberland and about
SO miles east Of Connellsvlle, through
a single track tunnel. The summit
of the old grade is 2,272 feet above
sea level
From an operating standpoint the
situation was difficult one, not ONLY
on account Of the long and heavy
APPROACH grades, which were Is
per cent from the east and ! @ per
cent from the west, but principally
owing to the location Of the old tun.
mel on the steep east approach, which
in addition to being on the 10 per
cent grade was only built for a single
track
TRAM movements through the old
tunnel were numerous, comprising
an average Of sixty-three trains per
day-fifteen passenger, twelve fast
freights and thirty-siX tonnage freight.
as we'll as numerous switching move
ments. The traffic resulted in con
siderable congestion, with the accom-
panying delays to trains and accumu-
latiOn Of train crow overtime. The
congestion became so serious that at
times the tunnel was used daily to
its ultimate capacity.
In view OF these conditions and
owing to the constantly increasing
'ratIivc, it became necessary to pro-
'ida second track crossing the
CONTAINS. A thorough study of the
i-nation developed the fact that it
'0nlG be more economical to con.
''rHct new double track line than
attempt to enlarge the existing
Hnlel under traffic. Aside from the
congestion Of traffic and the resulting
costly operations, the danger was
considerable, due the insecure
roof small amount of clearance and
bad ventilation.

HOW WOMEN ON FARM MAY GET

(Press Service L. 2. Department. Of

Numerous letters have recentiv
peen received at the department from

under the impression tina the funds
appropriated by Congress for extern

Individuals to aid them in improving

dren, etc.
This is a sad mistake. The Smith
Lever funds are given to the State
agricultural colleges to enable them

culture and hOme economics, coop

them in the adoption of better meth
ods on their farms or in their homes.
Already many of the colleges have
appointed women as extension experts
In nome economies, and others are
planning to do so. In nearly all the
southern States women county
agents are already at work in onnec

ried on by the agricultural colleges

These agents will enroll women in

continue to conduct girls clubs. They
will have the M demonstrate the
preparation n use Of products from
canning clubs, poultry clubs, pig
clubs, and the winter garden. Ac-
companying the use Of M club pro

They will also be encouraged by the

means of demonstrations, visits from

and bulletins from the State agricul-

This is the logical development o.

began with the canning clubs in 1910

when four counties in TWO states were
organized. II has grown to AN organi-
cation OF more than &c. 600 girls. un-
der the supervision OF nearly 800
women agents The results If 1919
show that IN the canning clubs OF the
southern States the 4202 girls who
sent in reports canned l.032.I15 cans
OF tomatoes and 522,1+7 cans II other
prodlkts, with a total value IL $780,
iZQ.t3. They have also developed to
a considerable extent special products
OF southern fruits and vegetables.
Poultry clubs have followed the work
IN canning and gardening and there
are now 2.oSo poultry club members.
Bread clubs have been organized ex-
perlmentally in a few counties and
some home Improvement work has
been done. This fall will see winter
gardening extensively carried on by
club members. In all OF these acuvi-
ties the adult women on the farms
have given active help. Frequently
they have been enrolled to receive
the instructor and have attended
meetings and demonstrations. AS
co-operators they haze eagerly followed
the instructions of the county wom-
an agents and have urged that a
special work be organized for them.
In the Northern and Western States
the principal work has thus far been
lone by home economies experts con-
nected with the agricultural colleges.
but a beginning of the canning club
work for girls has been made. The
number of home economics experts
who are doing work among the farm
wornen is being rapidly increased. 1t
is hoped hat before long there will
be- women agents in every county in
the United States.
To avail themselves of the aid Of
fered by the extension organizations
in the several States the farm women
should, ii possible, form local clubs
and then communicate with the coun-
ty agents, whether man or woman.
or with the State agricultural college.
In this way the club will often be
able to secure a visit from the county
agent or from a home economics eX-
pert from the college. If il is not
feasible to form a club Immediately.
n women should write individually
to the college or the county agent.
The address of the State agricultural
college can in most cases, be obtained

CORN SMUT.
Government Investigators Studying
Methods OF Control.

vi &oAllIO1.
tFress Department u. S. Department
of Agricultural
Wherever corn has been grown for
q PERIOD or years the Well-known
dlsease known as corn smut will be
FOUND to have established itself. Its
distribution, therefore, is very wide.
considerable losses, sometimes aver
aging as nigh as 8 per cent. are sus-
tanned by American corn and
not infrequently the losses in some
sections Of the country run as high as
rs per cent.
The corn-smut disease is caused by
a parasitic fungus which produces it's
spore masses in the form of smut
boils In the ear; along the stalk, par
tlcularly at the nodes or joints, and
less frequently within the leaves and
tassel. These bOils or spore masses
are surrounded by a membrane Of
fungous tissue mixed with cells Of the
most. Upon drying out, large num-
bers Of microscopic roundish spores
are liberated. These are capable Of
retaining their terminating power
over winter or longer. They germi-
nate readily in water or upon any
suitable moist medium and produce
great numbers of minute secondary
spores which are easily carried by
wind from one part Of the field to
another or from field to field.
Carefully conducted experiments
covering several years Of research
both in America n Europe indicate
| that corn-smut infection takes place
at a time or times following the ap-
p~earance Of the host plant above
ground and may develop in any deli
cate growing part of the corn plant.
Usually no evidence of infection is
noticeable until the plant is a foot
or more high.
Unlike oat smut or the sinking
smut Of wheat, or the covered smut
of barley, corn smut can not be con.
trolled by any known method Of seeG
treatment. Infection apparently doe:
not take place at time of sproutins
nor for some time following the ap
pearance Of the young plant abov,
ground. From the nature Of the typ
of infection 1t is therefore Obviou
that the disease can be controlled onl,
Smutted stalks. This method, how
ever. is practicable only when corn i
grown on a limited scale.
There seems to be considerable diff
ference Of opinion as to the effec
produced upon cattle or other stool
when fed upon corn or corr fodde
containing smut. It is doubtful, how
ever, whether corn smut ever pro
duces any direct toxic or poisonou
elects upon dIIiIIld1S eating II cllIlc
with grain or fodder. 1t is not I'm
likely, however, that an eXcessiv
amount of the spores may mechani
cally affect the digestive function:
and in this way cause sickness.
The Office of Cereal Investigation
at the present time is engaged upo
{ an exhaustive study Of obscure or I'M
known points bearing upon the lif
, history and physiology of the smu
organism. Experiments will be car
/, ried on relative to the best method
of controlling this widespread disease
