LoBELIA USED As A DRUG
American Indians Gathered Plant for
Their chests-caIIed HIndlan
Tobacco"

American Indians found one plant
growing in damp woods, handsome In
spikes of pale blue flowers, which they
used as medicine.
When the white man came the same
plant won the favor both of the apoth-
ecary and the gardner, but the gar
dener has paid more attention to its
cultivation than has the apothecary.
Hence we know 1t more as a flower
than as a drug. 1t is the lobelia,
named for Matthias Lobel, a Flemish
physician and botanIst, says the Phil
adelphia North American.
The medicinal substance in the plant
is called lobelin, an alkaloid, although
the Indians probably didn't know it.
The common use Of the plant among
the aborigines led the early settlers to
call it Indian tobacco"
When 1t is cultivated for commerce
the seeds are scattered on the sur
face of the ground late In fall or early
in spring. They germinate early in
spring and send down roots.
When the flowers are blooming the
plants are cut and dried in the shade.
An acre of good soil will! yield 1000
to 1,20O pounds Of herbs.

YOUNG TREES PRUNED AND UNPRUNED.

TALLY the same, but less severely so.
Apples, pears and American plums
should be given essentially the same
shape of framework, but cut back with
a medium degree of severity.
Sour cherries are pruned least of all
our fruit trees at the Missouri agricul-
tural experiment station. They should
have the open center and spreading
main limbs. The main limbs should
not generally be cut back, as their ter
minal buds make the strongest growth.
If a limb is in the way, it should be
removed entirely instead of being cut
back.
From time to time during the sum
mer go over young trees to guide their
growth. If too many limbs are start
ing from a given point, they may be
thinned to the required number. If
rank limb tends to fill the center or
cross other limbs, it may be removed.
If the strongest limbs all grow in the
same direction, thus giving One-sided
tree, they may be pinched back, thus
encouraging other limbs to start on
the opposite side to balance the frame
work of the tree. In the case of up
right-growing varieties, particularly,
the main limbs often tend to grow
straight upward instead of spreading.
In such cases the tips of these upright
limbs may be pinched back. This will
induce side limbs to grow outward,
thus securing a spreading form.

Franklin. - Governor Frank B.
Willis and former Governor James M.
Cox said in each others presence
what they have been saying at long
range for more than two years in dis
cussing rival political policies and ad-
ministrative principles.
The occasion was the Miami Valley
Chautauqua, which succeeded in get
ting the opposing candidates to enter
into Joint discussion of their claims
on the governorship.
More than 10000 heard the debate
1t was made clear that If they follow
their present lines the campaign OF
1916 will see q discussion of the issues
Of 1914.
With the experience gained from
the Willis administration, Cox Is pre-
pared to claim the people will turn
to the policies he championed now
that the contrast has been given them.
Just as firmly, Willis maintained
that the charges upon which he con.
vinced the people that the preceding
administration should be turned out
of power still hold.
Both speakers faced an audience
that was cordial and respectful
Cox had perhaps the largest meas
ure of applause, but the Willis coun-
ter claim was that it was in Cox's
home territory and hence a natural
result,
OF the strictly new phases of the
discussion the most interesting was
the liquor issue, which has become of
immediate Importance through the al
legged pledge of Col. Myron T. Her
rick to the prohibition cause.
1t was Cox who brought it to the
fore, asking as to the manner in which
the present governor makes the Ham
ilton county vets and the Ashtabula
drys pull together so harmoniously.
In explanation of his heavy vote in
liberal centers, Gov Willis said: "It
was because 1 had the courage to say
where l stood on the wet and dry
amendment and he didn't"

TO PREVENT INJURY
FROM ANTHRACNOSE
Highly Desirable That Growers
Become Acquainted With
Disease Of Raspberry.

(By J. C. WRITTEN, Missouri Agricul-
tural College,
The fungous disease, anthracnose, is
very prevalent in Missouri this year, If
the letters and infected raspberry
stems received at the Missouri agricul-
tural experiment station are any indi-
cation. Officers of the department of
horticulture doing work over the state
also find that in some localities an
thracnose is causing much more dam
age than usual.
The present season is too advanced
to give any very essential treatment
for this disease at the present time. 1t
is, however, highly desirable that the
growers become acquainted with it
# it is appearing in their fields. They
will then be prepared to treat plants
next spring so as to prevent further
injury from the disease the following
season.
Anthracnose occurs on the fruiting
canes of the current season, and also
on the new shoots which will be the
fruiting canes for next year, 1t usu-
ally appears in the form of spots or
blotches on the canes, varying from
One-sixteenth to one-fourth of an inch
In diameter. These blOtches are brown
ish or reddish toward the center, and
usually have a purplish ring around
the outer border. Where the fruiting
canes are badly affected, a weak
growth is likely to result. The berries
are undersized, and some of them may
even dry up and fail to mature fully.
In severe cases fruiting shoots may
more or less die back:
Treatment for anthracnose of the
raspberry consists of two things: ~

The assembly hall has notable new

is attractive, too, being divided into

they've been dying to make the same

the city, for example, was an intelli-
gent young Mormon who was born un-

In reply they tell you volubly and
vaguely that the United States courts

Visitors to Salt Lake City naturally
seek first of all the "holy of holies" Of

accomplish such wonders as just this

Pruning back the fruiting canes more
severely than usual in late winter or
early spring, and (2) spraying the
canes thoroughly with bordeaux mix
ture just before the buds begin growth
in the spring. Spray before the canes
leaf out as the leaves are very suscep>
tible to burning from spray.
Anthracnose-spotted canes cannot
carry as much fruiting wood as healthy
ones. For that reason the side branches
should be cut shorter than usual. Cut
those branches most spotted with the
disease, most severely, so as to elimi-
nate so far as possible the worst in
fected parts. This will prevent weak
ening the canes by setting too heavy
load of fruit and will insure better
development of the berries which do
set next year. To further reduce the
spread of the disease, spray with bOr-
deaux mixture just before the plants
start into growth in the spring.
Any grower who has weakened rasp-
berry plants and is not sure what the
trouble is, should send samples Of the
infested shoots to the department of
horticulture Missouri agricultural ex-
pertinent station, Columbia, Mo-, so
that the trouble may be identified.

Nothing pays better for the atten.

difference in the varieties or in the
different beds picked from, they should
be kept carefully separate and sold at

If the poor are marketed with the good
