Charles H. Williams, secretary
of the Extension Division of the

sion Division to do something
to assist in improving the roads
in Missouri" says Mr.. Williams.
Il have been trying to make my
department reach out to the peo-
pie of every county of the state,
and | know of no better way of
doing this than by helping with
the roads"

FIGHT FIRE BLIGHT NOW.
Deadly Disease Has Appeared in
Pear and Apple Orchards.

orchards this spring and every
affected twig or branch should
be removed before the disease
has a chance to spread. During
the last few years this disease
has done a great deal of damage
in pear and apple orchards and
the Missouri Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station finds it appear
ing again this spring. Its eff
fects are not usually observed
0y the orchardist until May or
when many had been
scorched by fire. The earlier
symptoms which should have
warned him to cut back the dis
eased parts at once are the flow
of a gumlike or even a thin sap
like liquid from the bark, or the
appearance of beads of honey
like material on the newly form
ed apples. This material may
spread like a soft varnish, COW
ering the fruits instead of re-
naming in beads.
The only known means of
checking blight is to cut and
burn all the affected parts be-
fore the disease is carried to
the rest of the orchard by bees
and other insects, or has a
chance to spread through the
twigs themselves. The pruning
tools may carry the germs if
not carefully disinfected by
either dipping them into a l to
1000 solution Of corrosive sub
Innate, or wiping them with a
rag or sponge which has been
dampened with such a solution
carried in a small bottle for this
purpose. Corrosive sublimate
called bichloride of mer-
cury-may be purchased at any
drug store in small bottles con-
tanning about twenty-five tab
lets apiece with directions for
dissolving these tablets and max
ing solutions of any desired
strength.
Pruning tools should be disin-
fected after pruning each tree SO
that the disease will not be car
ried from tree to tree, and should
be disinfected still oftener than
this to avoid carrying the dis
ease from one part to another of
the same tree, as the primer
finds that he is cutting through
diseased wood.
The blight usually passes the
winter in pear trees, but may
live through in Jonathan, Yellow
Transparent, and similar apple
trees.
Orchards affected by blight
last year should be very care.
fully watched now, and peal
trees which show blight scars Of
cankers should be examined frs
of all. Blisters may form under
the bark, then burst after thu
trees have begun to grow. From
these places there flows tn,
honey-like liquid which contains
the bacterial germs Of bligh.
which bees and other insect.
are likely to carry from tree t,
tree. The bees carry thesI
germs to the flower clusters o
pears and apples and the newl.
formed fruits may have tn
beaded or vanished appearance
which indicates that the spur
on which they are GROWN
should be cut and burned at once
The grower should not wal
for the blighted parts to die an
turn brown or black. To kee
the blight from spreadin
through the whole orchard it
necessary to find and cut out tn
few early infections here an
there. These early infection
may be located by observin
fruit clusters where the stem
of the fruit look slightly di
colored and show the stick exl

Our crop prospects are more
flattering than in formers years.
The wheat and oat crops are not
yielding so much to the acre,
but the quality is exceptionally
good. Hay will be in abundance
and corn and tobacco indicate all
that any farmer wishes.
Every one who exercises any
energy, is enjoying the fruits of
his labor as never before. Any
one who croaks now is passed

belfry.
Our public school teachers are

from their work last year. Our
Educational board were liberal
in granting the teachers their

FIGHTING IN THE MARSHES.
North of the Pinsk marshes
the fighting at present is largely
with artillery. In Galicia the
Russian armies are reforming
for continuation of the offensive.
In the West the renewed
efforts of the German Crown
Prince at Verdun temporarily are
taking precedence in the public
mind over the battle of the Som
me. The attack just delivered
by the Germans just before Yer
dun is the seventh great on
slaught with dense masses of
troops since the operations began
some five months ago. The Ger
mans have made slight gain,
but apparently this has not les
sened the confidence of the
French in their ability to hold
fast. They still have three solid
lines of defense which must be
penetrated before the German
objective can be gained.
The British are still engaged
in clearing the Germans from
fortified positions which must be
taken before the general often
sive can be renewed.
London, July 13.-The British
have retaken the ground lost to
the Germans, according to the
official statement, and now hold
all af Mametz. Two German at
tacks against Contamination were
repulsed.

WAR SITUATION

4:55 p. m. German troops I'M
der command of Gen. Count Won
Bothmer by an encircling coun-
ter-attack have driven back the
Russian forces, which had pushed
forword in the region northwest
of Buczacz, in Galicia, says the
German official statement issued
today. TheIGermans took 400
prisoners.
London, lJuly Is 1892 p. ny
Fighting continues at various
points along the battle front in
the region of the River Somme,
in France, but there has been no
change in the situation on any
part of the British line, says an
official statement issued by the
British War Department this af-
ternoon. Attempts of the Ger,
mans to raid trenches west of
Wyschaete and south of La-Bas-
see canal were frustrated.
London, July 10, I2:O5p. M
The recovery of the Russian ar
mics since their defeats of last
year and the apparently mex
haustibIe supplies of guns and
ammunition with which they are
providedIcontinue to be source
of wonder to military writer's.
At least six great armies are en-
gagged against the Austrians and
Germans on Russia's western
front. All of them are using
great quantities of ammunition,
even those not definitely on the
offensive.
The forces under Grand Duke
Nicholas in Armenia and Persia
have been fighting vigorously
against the Turks for months.
A few weeks ago parts of these
forces. particularly those west of
Erzerum, were compelled to fall
back in the face of a stronger
Turkish army. Early this week
the Grand Duke resumed the
offensive in this region and re-
captured Humakhatum, fifty
miles west of Erzerum, so that
the Turks have fallen back some
twenty-five miles from the fur
thest point reached in their coun-
ter.offensive.
While the armies directly south
of the Hinsk marshes are fight
ing a pitched battle with the
Austro. German forces of Gen.
Won Linsingen along the line of
the Stokhod River, it probably
will be some days before the de-
cision is reached. as the Teutons
have brought up very strong re-
endorsements in the hope of re-

Mrs. Joseph Settles fell from
the steps of a door at the home
of her son last week, sustaining
a broken hip. The same acct
dent happened to her several
years ago, making her a perma-

ing excruciating pains.
Numerous silos are being built
throughout our county. The
farmers have been slow to ap-
preciate this needed outfit, but
users of same are enthusiastic
advocates of benefits afforded.
Mrs. Edna Folk (nee Turner,
New York, is spending her sum-
mer vacation here with her moth
er. She was accompanied by
her brother. George Frank, a re-
cent graduate of Columbia Uni
versity. He has accepted the
principalship in a high school in
Decatur, Texas, the coming term.
The bulk of the wheat and
oat crops have been threshed.
This has been an unusually busy
season with the farmers, and
they certainly need relief from
constant work.
Mrs. Della Gabehart was found
hanging from the rafters of her
her fathers barn one day last
week. She was the daughter of
Mr.. Josh Berry. 1t is stated
that she was affected with pei
lagra, which caused her to take
this method of taking her life.
She leaves one child to mourn
her loss.
W. T. Mardis experienced a
very unpleasant feeling at his
crib early one morning this week.
1t was dark and he was picking
up corn to feed his stock, when
he placed his hand on a supposed
rope, but later found it to be an

rat exterminator.
