Nav Benefit You.

The following is taken from the query
column of the Baltimore Sun and may
prove valuable to some of our readers:
/. What can be done to remedy toma-
to blight? The leaves curl up and die.
2. What will destroy small striped
bugs on squash vines?
/. If the tomato blight is the com mon
one which first starts as small dark spots
on the leaves, spray the plants every
two weeks with Bordeaux mixture. 1t
would be best for you to send specimen
of the diseased plants for diagnosis to
Mr.. j. b. Norton, botanist at the Mary
land Agricultural Experiment Station,
College Park, Md, as there are several
similar diseases.
2. Use spray of about one-half a
pound of paris green to SO gallons of wa
ter or apply the paris green in dust form
using part of paris green to Is or u
parts of land plaster or flour.

prevailed, little rain falling during the
afternoon. Heavy rains were reported
from various places in the county.
Monday morning the heavy clouds com
ing from the east brought a series of
thunder gusts and considerable water
fell. During the afternoon two very
heavy showers fell here, but little light
ming accompanying them. The temper
ature was close to rs degrees.

a hard matter to sell it at 1857 an
acre. It is too far from a live town.
80 every farmer has said that wants
to buy. He wants place near schools
and churches, where his children can
have advantages. have awakened
to the fact that in helping to pull the
town down, it has cost me $4,000 in
nine years. Like the majority OF
farmers, didn't figure far enough
ahead.
This sort of business means the
doing away of country towns. What
will it mean to farmers to have only
a few large cities at distance OF 5OO
or 900 miles? What are we going
to do with our children, who are de-
manding even better advantages than
we had?
"Those cities we help to build re-
turn no favors; they take our money
but offer no credit in time of need
If we want high schools, etc, we
must raise the money and build near
our farm homes, or send our boys
and girls to the cities at great rx-
pense, amidst temptations OF which
the farm has no equal. Neither any
| the only awakening farmer. These
mail order agents that come to our
homes every week are becoming a
nuisance and making it unsafe to
leave women and children alone on
the farm. With farm cordially we
take these strangers into our homes,
often az one of the family, and we are
sometimes paid in having them en-
tice our girls to the city.
These are some facts that need
consideration, and ! have decided
that the safest proposition all around,
is for the country people to look after
their own interests, and build up
their own country towns that bring
value to their farms. Let those who
want to patronizc the city mail order
house 60 there to live, getting their
living where they give their patron
age. The remainder of my life will
be given to building up the home
town that / helped to pull down.
Brother farmers, you can take my
advice or get your knowledge the way

The celebrated old money tree" !,
two miles south of Shepherdstown,
W. Va, was almost entirely demol-
isned by storm several days ago.
Every limb, save one, was broken of
leaving lone branch springing from
the decaying trunk of what was once
a mighty oak.
During the Civil War a Union Ar
my paymaster is said to have hid his
money chest in a hole under the tree
and then reported at headquarters
that the money had been captured
by Confederates. His story being
doubted, he was arrested for stealing
the treasure, convicted, and served
five years in prison. When he was
released he went back to Shepherds
town by night, dug up the box he
had buried and carried off the treas
ure-some s65, O0Oin gold, silver and
paper money.
