Urged For the Protection Of the Farm
er's Crop.
1t is one thing TO know how to grow
crop; It is quite a different matter
to be able to protect that crop from
diseases. The rapid spread OF plant

tion against diseases is one OF the mos
important features in the growing o
a successful crop.

eases. According to the same author
ity, sanitary measures are just as in
portant as spraying, and if a horli
culturist or farmer follows but one o.
these practices sanitation would out
weigh spraying for most crops.
Sanitation should include not only
the careful disposal of all diseased and
waste plants, so that there may be nc
danger Of parasitic bacteria, fungi OF
other organisms living over to infect
the next crop, but It may include prun-
ing and the removing of all dead parts
the painting Of wounds. the eradica
tion OF weeds about the field, orchard
or garden. which frequently harbor dis
ease. Still another important matter |
to consider in sanitation is the diSir |

Ladies Of Patriotic
League Plan Reception

The ladies of the Salem Patriotic
League will meet this afternoon and
arrange as far as possible, plans for
the reception to be given the boys from
the Mexican border.
The exact date of the reception and
banquet will depend largely on. the
day the boys will get back home and as
this date is rather uncertain, the
League is just holding up its definite
plans, but arranging everything in
order that the boys will be properly
welcomed the day of their arrival.
Now here is chance for the display
of genuine patriotic spirit. A banquet
will be given the evening of the re-
ception and there will be needed an un
usual number of chicken pies and il
has been suggested that there would
be no greater act of patriotism right
now than to notify the banquet com
mittee, Mrs. Chauncey Bishop, phone
1895, or Mrs. Fred S. Bynon, phone
270-M, of willingness to contribute q
genuine chicken pie or anything else
that may be needed.
For the informal reception at the
armory, relatives are especially invited
to attend and assist.
Definite plans will be announced
probably next Monday. The general
impression now is that the boys will
arrive home Wednesday.
