When l read a Brisbane editorial

I know exactly what Brisbane is
doing, just as he himself knows eX-
actly what he is doing. He feeds
this advice to the poor to be econom-
ical because the bankers want that
advice fed to the poor.
AS wages run in most industries
today, the poor don't have a chance
to know the value Of a dollar because
they live on nickels and dimes. They
eat fried mush when they need eggs.
And if a kid is in bed with a fever
they think twice before they buy
anything like oranges or lettuce.
Only when the graveyard looms do
they buy for their sick children the
fresh garden stuff Hearst and BEis-

More truth is in grocery ads Of

Wheat scab.

Dear sir
II have read with interest the
letter on wheat scab jby Mr.. w. FL.
MackaH in one of the local papers,
and would heartily recommend the
advice given. Unfortunately the
remedies mentioned are not always
sufficient to insure full crop under
such unfavorable conditions of wet,
muggy weather that we have had the
past year.
In addition to the suggestion
given by Mr.. Mackall, varieties that
are most resistant should be grown,
as there is a great difference between
varieties of wheat as to their ability
to withstand attacks of scabs. In
general it may be said that bearded
varieties scab worse than smooth
ones.
In both smooth nd bearded
varieties the velvet chaff sorts scab
the worst
Last fall in cooperation with the
Maryland Experimental Station, /
distributed seed for -twenty-seven
one-acre plots of varities which have
proven most resistant to scab on
the Station trial plots.
While it is too early to give yields,
as the wheat has not been thrashed
as yet from an examination in the
field the freedom from scab was
quite noticeable and the yields
promise to be above those of the
varieties generally grown.
/ would be pleased to hear from
farmers wishing to test out resistant
varieties another year, when these
requests will be complied with as
far as the supply will allow.

GUARD AGAINST POOR GLOVER

Crimson clover seed loses it's vital
ity very rapidly, SO that seed which
is two years old is worthless. Wher
buying, therefore, seed of guaranteed
termination should be purchased
First class crimson clover seed weighs
so pounds to the bushel.
Complete failure, due to lack of in
oculation. is quite common, ever
though the field may have perfect
stand. For incubation take soil, spade
deep, from a field which has grown
crimson clover and broadcast 1t, about
2 bushels per acre. over the land which
is to be seeded to crimson clover anG

Securing A Good Stand of Crimson
Clover,

ClOV0rs
Timely suggestions-for insuring a
good stand of crimson clover are
offered in circular prepared by
Prof Nicholas Schm1tz of the Mary
land Experiment Station. Professor
Schmitz says in part:
''The lack of rain in late summer
and early fall is responsible for many
failures of crimson clover, because
the young seedlings are very easily
killed by lack of moisture or hot sun
shine. The seed bed, then, should
be firm, moist, and finely pulverized.
Where sown in cultivated crops,
such as corn and tomatoes, the cul-
tivation necessary for these crops is
usually sufficient for the clover;
where following small grain the stub
BILE should be plowed down as soon
after harvest as possible, and the
land we'll worked up. Then, after
one or two good rains and a light
surface working, the field is ready
for crimson clover seeding.
"Of late years, preparing stubble
land for crimson clover by discing
thoroughly, has been practiced, and
under favorable conditions has given
good results. This saves labor, but
cannot be recommended for hard clay
soils.
Depth OF Seeding.
''In sandy soils the seed should be
covered about one inch, in clay soils
about one-half inch. If sown on
freshly worked-up soils behind cul-
tivator in tomato or corn field and
not covered, and no heavy rain fol-
lows, then cloudy weather and a
inmate above ground and the sun
will kill them; therefore, when the
last cultivation of the corn or toma-
toes is too early in the season to be
preceded by crimson clover, small
toothed cultivator should be run be-
tween the rows to cover this seed
Time and Rate of Seeding.
''It is best to seed some time be-
tween the middle of July and the
middle of September. Along the
water-fronts in Southern Maryland
and in the southern part of the East
ern Shore it may be safe to SOW as
late as the middle of September or a
little later. but by far the best results
are obtained If seeded month or six
weeks earlier. In the northern part
of the Eastern Shore and in the
crimson clover section of Hartford,
Baltimore, Howard and Montgomery
counties, it should not be seeded
later than September 1st, and prefer
ably four or five weeks earlier. In
Carroll county and in almost all of
the lower attitudes OF Frederick and
Washington counties and in the
mountain section it is seldom safe to
SOW after August 25th, and it may
be seeded as early as July 18th.
"The most common rate of seed
ing is 15 pounds per acre. A few
use 20 pounds, while others use only
12 pounds per acre. If the weather
and soil conditions are just right--12
pounds is enough"

To keep the bowels regular the
best laxative is outdoor exercise

each day. When medicine is need

According to their Towering habit
shrubs are divided into two groups
One group of shrubs produces flowers
from buds that were formed the previ
Gus season. The other group produces
flowers from buds that are formed on
the new wood Of the current season.
1t Is the first group in which the
flower buds are prepared before hand
that we especially are interested in al
this time. Among this group are the
following shrubs:
Aza1eas Golden Bell
Calycanthus Japan Ounce
Daphne Mock Orange
Deutzias Mountain Laurel
Dogwoods Privets
Dwarf Almond Rhododendrons
Towering Currant Spireas (Spring
Flowering Crab Flowering) So
Flowering Peach Viburnums q
The growth of these shrubs can be
controlled by pruning now. AS soon
as the flowers fade, shorten back the
old wood. Old shoots that tend to
crowd should be removed. Those
growing out of the bounds should be
cut back to conform to the general
outline of the plant. By this method
OF pruning, strong shoots will develop,
ON which the flower buds for the en-
suing year will form. = Where the
growth of such shoots becomes too
vigorous, pinch them back.
On Rhododedrons and Azaleas cut
out the old flower heads as soon as
they fade.

Evergreen trees, to develop into
good specimens, should have the low

beyond the lower limbs, serious in,
jury results. The longer branches will
shade the lower and also throw off
the rain from them. Soon the lower
limbs will drop their needles or leaves
and die. All upper branches that ex-
tend beyond the lower limbs should
be cut back until they are shorter than
the ones directly beneath them. AL
ways cut back to a strong bud, so as
to leave no stub. Pinching out the
terminal bud will check growth in
that direction, when the branch tends

design now seemed not unfriendly to
the victim of these savage ceremonies

with blows Of his great arms the saw
ages who clustered about her, he
caught Kitty up in q sorillalike en-
brace, and with hoarse cries OF de-
fiance made his way with her to the
cover Of the woods.
The natives did not pursue them
Kitty could not tell why. Indeed, she
scarce had time to reason. In this

Then slowly, finding him not I'm.

to plan. Certainly this being was, or

telligible speech--might again be able
to do so.
But speech Of Ineligible sort she
did not hear. Only he bore her away
to some distance, until at length safe
in the cover Of the forest, he set her
down.
Kitty looked about her. She found
herself In a situation which she could
uken to nothing else In all her e1pe
rience.

MAKING HEATHFUL HOMES

What constitutes the practical
healthful home for young and
old has been pointed out in a re-
cent article by DR.. George M.
Kober, of Washington, D. C.
He says, first, that the healthful
home must be a home admitting
sunshine; that children reared in
dark, gloomy, damp homes are
as anaemic and puny plants
reared without the stimulating
effects of sunshine and light.
An old German proverb reads
Where the sun does 60, the
doctor does not 60" In dark,
damp places, all kinds Of bacteria,
especially the tubercle bacillus,
find favorable conditions for re-

tanning their vitality. Sunshine
by day and cold fresh air by
night. says he. are strong
health factors which every home
should provide. ("
A healthfal home should be a
dustless home, according to DR..
Kober, because dust, especially
dust contained in the home, and
germs go hand in hand. For
that reason the object of house
cleaning should be to get rid of
dust. In the absence of a vacuum
cleaner, a damp or oiled cloth is
recommended for both floors and
furniture.
The temperature most con-
ducive to a healthful home in
cold weather is between IS de-
grees and rs degrees. Over
heated rooms predispose to colds
and other Iesl iratory diseases.
They lower the bodily resistance.
