There Is Always a Close Connection
Between Depression and III
Health.

An expert says it is very difficult for
the most skilled diagnostician to trace
the exact connection between mental
depression and physical illness. but he
insists the connection is there all the
same. the Columbia Journal observes.
His idea is that cheerfulness is largely
a habit, which is so closely related to
health that they go together. Any per-
son who gets sick should try first to
cure himself with cheerfulness. 1t Ia
done many time. Health is harmony,
joy, kindness, hopefulness and helpful
ness. The Bible tells us "a merry
heart doeth good like a medicine"
If people would only take the merry
heart kind of medicine, it would save
them hundreds Of dollars. There is
hardly a malady but what it will cure,
or at least, make better. There is no
reason why there should not be a
school of medicine in which cheerful.
ness is the daily prescription. Be.
sides, any drug medicine one takes
has to be mixed with cheerfulness or it
will utterly fail. A whole drug store
wouldn't do any good to man who
has a crouch on.

CONTROL OF APPLE
SCAB Is OUTLINED
Methods Vary Somewhat With
Conditions-First Burn All
Dead Leaves and Rubbish.

Qy NJ. A. WILLIS. Plant Pathologist.
University of Idaho Agricultural Col
lege)
The fungus which causes apple scab
lives over winter in the infected areas
of dead and decaying apple leaves.
In the spring it produces tiny spores.
These spores may be carried by wind
or by birds to the young and tender
foliage where they terminate readily
and produce infections which endan.
ger both fruit and leaves.
The first step in the control of ap-
pie scab is to destroy the sources of
infection. The methods by which this
may be done vary somewhat with con-
ditions. II the orchard is small and
cannot be cultivated. the dead leaves
should be raked and burned at some
time during the late fall or early
spring. For larger orchards, early
spring blowing is recommended, as it
covers the leaves to such depth that
they are no longer sources of danger
The second step in the control of
this disease is to protect the foliage
by the use of lime-sulphur testing 2S
degrees Baume at the rate of IL gal
Ions to so gallons of water. The first
application should be given when the
blossom buds are beginning to sepa-
rate in the cluster and show a pink
color. The second should be applied
just after the petals fall; and a third
ten days or two weeks later.
Where rainfall is plentiful, q
fourth spraying may prove beneficial.

currants through their apple orchards.
This is an ideal plan.
In the average orchard two rows
can be planted between each two rows
of apple trees. Keep the rows about
five feet apart and the plants about
four feet apart in the rows, and keep
the surface soil we'll cultivated, using
we'll rotted stable manure or other fer
tilizer
Currants always bring good prices
on the markets and there are never
half enough to supply the demand.
People have overlooked planting
them. Here are the best varieties:
London Market and Red Cross for red
sorts;> Lees Black is the best black,
while White Imperial is the best of
all the white kinds.
During this entire season black cur
rants have been in strong demand on
the big markets. They have brought
much higher prices than either the
red or white kinds. We urge the
planting Of more black currants; good
prices for them are sure

Champion Gooseberry. Squares, One Inch.)

F'rom Weekly News Letter, United States
Department Of Agriculture)
Among the farm operations which
engage the attention of the small fruit
grower in the North during late fall,
winter, and early spring are the prun-
ing of the plants and their protection
from drying winds, snow, and cold.
Both currants and gooseberries have
stood without injury the extremes of
low temperature and drying winds
which prevail in the northern Great
Plains region. These fruits, therefore,
need no protection against cold or
winds Of winter. Sometimes, however,
in regions having a heavy snowfall,
branches of the currant are broken
down by the weight of snow and sleet
This danger may be easily avoided by
drawing the branches together and ty-
ing them with coarse string
This period between the falling of
the leaves in autumn and the starting
of growth in spring is the season in
which currants and gooseberries are
pruned. The ideal currant bush at
which the primer should aim has six
to eight main branches, while the
gooseberry has eight to twelve. None
of these branches should be over three
years old. Two or three of the main
branches of the currant and three to
four main branches Of the gooseberry
should be removed each season, the
older branches being cut out and a
like number of the most vigorous

WORTH The Winning
BY WALTER JOSEPH DELANEY.

Two years is long time, Mr..
Lane"
It's that or nothing" pronounced
Gideon Lane, in his set, austere way.
And them inquired Walter Brooks
anxiously.
Il hope Paula marries you, for if
you are as loyal and helpful as you
have been, whom would | welcome
more gladly than you as son-in-
law"
And in the meantime?"
Not a word about this subject to
Paula. She is only sixteen, and will
not have her young head filled with
nonsense. When she is eighteen, her
mind is my mind. Be content. Earn
your happiness"
That settled it, and this Walter
Brooks fully realized. The love of his
life had come into his experience,
and around it conferred all his wax
ing thoughts.
Old Gideon Lane had a comforta-
BILE farm home There were, besides,
two smaller holdings They had be-
longed to neighbors, and he had
bought them out. He had leased the
North farm, as it was called, to a
shiftless fellow with large family,
who had let it run into the ground
so far as crops and upkeep were con-
cerned. He had let the house burn
down from sheer carelessness, and
had left his donor with an eighty
acre patch good for pasturage only.
The South farm Walter had accept
ed on the same profit-sharing basis
1t, too, was eighty acres in extent, and
he made it his pride and gave it his
constant attention. There was a ten
tatiye agreement with it's owner that
he could purchase it at the end of four
years, if he desired. He had saved
up a few hundred dollars. as many
more were in sight, and Walter saw
sure daylight ahead when he asked
Mr.. Lane to allow him to pay his ad-
dresses to Paula.
Il am going to win. If | lose time

PROPER SOIL FOR CURRANTS
Fruit Needs Rich Land and One That
Is Good Retainer Of Moisture
Keep Well Cultivated.

Currants require rich soil and one
that is a. good retainer of moisture.
The plants should be set three to four
feet apart in the row and rows from
five to six feet
The patch should be we'll cultivated
and hoed, all weeds being kept down
as they are very FURIOUS to currarts.
Keep we'll trimmed after they nave
come into full bearing. as too much of
the young and old wood will hinder
the growth.
1t is not well to allow any of the
wood to get very old as the finest
fruit is usually grown on the two and
three year Ole growths.

make her my wife or die a bachelor"
declared Walter determinedly, and it
was famous start of will and pur-
pose.
Gideon Lane went home chuckling.
He considered himself a shrewd bar
gamer and great business manager.
He was not the latter, and several
deals he had made on which he prid-
ed himself were really suggested and
put through by his humble tenant,
Walter Brooks
Now, then, Serena he told his
wife as he reached home and joined
her in the cozy sitting room of the
old home, I've got a secret to tell
you, and don't want you to disturb
Paula by letting it out"
Thereupon he proceeded to detail
his arrangement with Walter Brooks.
Mrs. Lane did not express herself as
to her opinion in the premises. but
she disclosed no fault in the arrange
ment. She assented to the agree
ment OF keeping Paula in the dark.
Both believed that they had no right
either to prejudice or influence Paula
in her choice of lover or husband.
If the girl, within two years, found
someone preferable to Walter, that
was her right, and Walter must take
the hazard.
Il like the young fellow" admitted
Mr.. Lane, but he wouldn't be worth
his salt if he was making love to
Paula or engaged to her. l believe
he's strictly honorable, and l don't
think he will give Paula an mixing of
his preference for her."
He will keep his word-on that
you can depend" declared Mrs. Lane
confidently.
IF he does, I'll celebrate the end
of the two years with reception for
him at the South farm that will please
him." said her husband. Yes, and I'll
give him one of those pet oleanders
of mine as a gift, in the bargain"
This was ZIG concession for the
old farmer In his later years he
had given a good deal OF time to ar

trees in the garden and other oddi-
ties, and particularly four great OLE

follows:
"In order that all clubs members of
the u. S. G. A. may understand the
practical effect of the amateur rule and
the decisions of the executive commit
tee under it the following announce
ment is made:
"All players whose amateur status
has been forfeited under the rules of
the u. s. G.. A. are ineligible to COM
pete in amateur tournaments. Should
any such player be permitted to enter
an amateur tournament a protest filed
with the executive committee on this
ground would naturally be sustained:
therefore, no such player could right
fully be awarded any prize in such a
tournament.
"Omcials of clubs that are members of
the L. s. G. A. are advised that they
should be very careful not to accent
the entry of player in any tourna-
ment unless his amateur status is I'M
questionable. 1t is to be presumed that
it is the desire of every member of the
L. s, G. A. to carry into effect the ac-
ton of the delegates at the last annual
meeting as expressed in the recent
rules adopted by the executive COM
mittee.
1T is also to be hoped that all golf as
sociattons in tho United States will be
equally ready to reject the entries of
such players in all amateur tourna-
