Serious Watermelon
Disease Reaching
North Into I0,Ua

A serious disease Of watermelons.
known as the wilt has tor many years
been prevalent IN the southern states
and has now extended westward to
the Pacific coast, having been reported
from Iowa. Oklahoma, Indiana. Mis-
souri,, Arizona, Texas. California and
oregon. In many sections the dis
ease Is a serious handicap to the grow
Ing OF melons on a large scale, not
only by destroying the growing crop.
out also by preventing the successful
culture or melons upon the same field
again in succeeding years.
watermelon wilt Is caused by
Fungus which lives in the soil and en-
ters the roots. plugging up the wa ter
carrying vessels and preventing the
rise OF moisture. thus causing the wilt
Ing and death Of the plant. The leaves
OF anected plants first DROP then
rapidly wilt and soon die, the runner
dying with them. Upon cutting the
main tap root across near the curface
OF the ground it will be found to pre-
sent yellow color in the wood, maxi
Ing distinct contrast with the white
color OF the healthy plant. This yell,
lowing, together with the wilted ap-
pearance of the vine, makes the identi-
1cation Of the disease easily possible,
and the further fact that field once
infected shows the same trouble in
succeeding years in the same or an
extended area is an additional recog-
milton mark. All commercial varie-
ties Of melons appear to be very
susceptible to the disease.
Means Of Control.
There is nothing that can be done to
save a field Of melons when once at
tackled by the wilt. but the disease may
be avoided by the following precau-
tons:
/. In infected districts. watermelons
should never be planted on land where
Watermelons have been grown within
ten or twelve years. more or less, de-
pending on soil conditions. as ex-
periments have shown that the fungus
causing the disease is able to live a
long period in the ground AS a mat
ter Of practice experience, it is
usually possible to secure enough
fresh land, so that an adequate supply
|of watermelons can be grown in any
large district without need of recourse
to old fields.
2. Stable manure which has be-
come infected by ,the use of melon
hay or refuse containing melon vines
should never be applied to the water
melon crop. or to land where 1t is de-
sired to plant watermelons later.
3. Fields which have received the
drainage water from infected fields
must be considered and treated as II
Infected This means that the farmer
having two fields one Of which is on
higher ground than the other. should
plant the lower field first.
4. AS far as possible live stock
should be prevented from passing from
infected to umnfected fields.
5. Breeding resistant varieties. It
has been demonstrated by the depart
ment Of agriculture that varieties OF
watermelons resistant to wilt can be
bred. The strains thus far produced
are not recommended for general
pla nting but it will be worth while
for interested localities to have wilt
resistant varieties adapted to their
conditions bred.
Expect Many Apples.

Exnao. MANY Apples,

According to Prof. T. j. Nancy, OF
Ames, who was In Council Bluffs last
week, apple growers in Iowa can expect
nearly the bumper crop Of apples har-
vested last year. He thinks the trees in
fine shape and promising much.

nation to bring about a. healthful
economic life has in the last few
years brought an increasing munster
to realize that general cooperation
is our last hope.
This general cooperation means
a living wage to all. to the laborer
and the employer, a coordination
of industry that will eliminate waste
and friction, a coordination of f.
nance with industry that will give
reasonable interest rates, a cooper
alton between business and govern
ment, a cooperation between the
employer and employee where each
will do his best for the other. II
we are to prosper as people, if we
are to continue to hold our position
as a great industrial nation, this
general cooperation must come.
In the case under consideration,
if the engine and trainmen should
win their point, it would be but
another step towards a general rail,
road breakdown, and that would
mean eventual government owner
ship.
The railroad employee who as
sists in any move Of that sort, once

ger and in every condition Of wealth
er-these are the true soldiers ofin-
dustry. These men should not need
to ask for better conditions. Better
conditions should have been given
them years ago. Twelve hours, or
more, is their present day or night,
when eight hours should be their
limit.
The fostering by some railways
of various unfair conditions, and
their usual opposition to all sugges-
tons towords improvement and
their complaint about unfair regu-
lations has provoked a reproof from
one Of the most conservative Of our
public men. In speech before the
New York Traffic Club on February
81, ex-President Taft reproved the
railways for their misdeeds and
their opposition to the laws Of the
land and to reform. He accused
them Of corrupting councils and leg
islatures and defying the interstate
commerce commission and being
generally unreasonable, and then
warned them Of a possible govern
ment ownership. The general pub
lie will give this conservative speak
er serious consideration. The en-
ployes moy well feel they have able
council upon their side.
President Wilson has said that
tie workers have a right to say un-
der what conditions they will work.
The railway employees merely ask
that the public approve their effort
for a reasonable condition.

BOY SCOUTS DO A GOOD TURN.

The slogan of the Boy Scouts IS, Do A Good Turn Daily. Last Saturday all of the scouts who were able to report for duty, joined in together to do a big good turn, as the main feat ure of the days program. They motored out on the Coleman Lake road and with saw and ax, removed four fallen trees that obstructed the Coleman lake road. The drive to Coleman lake IS one of the most scenic about Williams, and the work done by the scouts will be ap- preciated by all who travel this road whether for business or for pleasure.
 Next Saturday the scouts will spend a few hours in the morn ing packing away their camping equipment in good shape, so that it will be ready for immediate use any time they choose to try another camping trip. After this, they will take a hike ito some point yet to be chosen.

EARLY MARRIAGES

The "mariagable age" in most European countries is surprisingly low. if compared with that in the British Isles.
 Germany, Russia and France are all fairly sensible. In Ger many the man must be IS before he can legally marry, while in France and Russia, 1t is the same with a minimum of 16 for tue girl.
 But other countries are far less strict even than this.
 In Greece the. man must have seen at least fourteen summers, and the woman-if woman" she can be called-twelve.
 It is the same in Portugal, in Spain, in Switzerland and Tn Hun- gary (for Roman Catholics)
 All these countries commonly witness marriages in which little girls of dozen years are led to the alter. Protestants in Hungary are stricter than Roman Catholics, the age minimum being IS for a man and l5 for a woman.
 As for Turkey, there is no mar riage tninimum age there at all Any tiny tots who call toddle to church and get through the neces- sary ceremeny are allowed to be united for life.
 Thus, it is possible to be widow or widower in CoDstantinople at the premature age of four or five!

CELEBRATION NOTES

The Williams automobile parade into Flagstaff the Fourth was met by the Flag band and escorted thru the town. The parade was a fine one consisting of about 20 autos.
 The Studebaker automobile which Flag people rallied off the Fourth was won by L. $. Williams of our Bill town. He invested in one $1 co ticket and had about one chance in42, ,OOO.
 The fast time on the track at Flag, was made by Smith of Williams. Until his wheel went fiat he was covering the ground at the rate of 43 seconds per half mile lap. After the puncture he was hard to catch and it took 13 laps for the winner to pass him.
 It may be a coincidence but they do say that the only cars in the Flagstaff auto race which escaped tire trouble had Fire Stone tires.
 And isn't it to smile? The winners of the auto race at Flag, the Fourth were little old Fords. Henry is not supposed to build racers but they got there just the same.
 Except for a little hard luck Williams would have won the auio race at Flag the Fourth. The Smith car was in the lead and proved that it could be held when punctu1e was experienced in the fourth lap After the puncture lead was heldfor 13 laps. The hendicap imposed by the acci- dent was too great, however. Conditions grew worse and the race had to be abandoned. F The winners of the Auto races at Flag, the Fourth Were Wal house of Flag, who drove No. l and Mack, also of Flag, who drove No. 5. No. 1 made the distance at the rate of A seconds per half mile lap and No. 5 made the distance at the rate of 45 seconds per half mile lap.
 It was a generous Fourth of July crowd at Flag, Tuesday. ] About $500 was raised for Peaches, the driver of No. 4 which met with the accident in the auto race. It was realized that he would have won the race except for the accident. It was also felt that his quick action to avoid killing another by risking his own life to make it, should have recognition.
 Risks Own Life To Save Another | A very serious accident was barely averted on the race track at Flagstaff the Fourth. When Peaches of Flag. who drove No. 4 had nearly completed the race, well in the lead, he was obliged to turn from the track quickly to avoid running into a man who was crossing the tack. The short turn tipped the car over, but Peaches fortunately was able to jump clear of the car and was not seriously injured. Had he not made the quick turn he would, probably have caused a death.
