LEAF SPOT OF cUCUMBERS.
A Disease Quite Prevalent In Eastern

The angular leaf spot Of cucumbers

in Canada. The disease has also been
reported recently from Maryland and
other southern states.
The presence of the disease is indi-
Gated by angular. dry. brown spots on
the foliage, which by dropping out or
tearing give the leaves a ragged ap-
pearance. Although the disease has
been known for many years in the
field and has been conceded to be of
bacterial origin, heretofore no organ
ism has been named as its cause. As
a result of experiments recently con-
Quoted by the plant pathologists of the
federal department, however, the germ
causing the disease has been isolated
and identified
1t was found that the disease Is caus-
ed by bacterial organism entering the
leaf through minute orifces In the out
er layer, wounds not being necessary
to permit infection. Young stems may
become soft rotted or crack open. but
no direct connection has been found
between the leaf spot and the soft rots
of the fruit. A heavy infestation, how.

ACQUIRING A FARM.

Farmer Has Achieved Success.
The question is frequently raised as

Quire farm of his own. says the Farm
and Fireside. In Washington county,
Mimi, lives James Blank, young
farmer, whose experience should be an
encouragement to other young farmers.
But his real name isn't Blank.
This young farmer, leaving home and
parents, came to this country from
Sweden at seventeen years Of age For
nine years he worked as a farm hand
for the best farmers In the country.
Practically all Of the nine years were
spent In the employ of two farmers.
After nine years of apprenticeship as
a farm hand he had saved sufficient
money so that he was able to buy
small farm equipment and rent
farm. AS with many other young
farmers, the time Of changing from
hired man to tenant was that of his
marriage.
After three years he bought for $4,000
the 120 acre place which he was then
farming as tenant Since buying the
original place he has bought another
forty acres. Now he owns 100 acres,
worth, with improvements, about S.
900, and equipment, in the way Of
live stock, feed and machinery, worth
$500. There is mortgage Of $1,000
on the farm. Deducting this leaves
the young farmer worth $1,000.
During the year of 1914 this farmer
made $3.50 as his labor income. In
other words, he had 81 $50 for his own
work above farm expenses and s per
cent interest on the investment of
$11,100.
The secret Of this young mans sue
cess seems to have been good health,
good business judgment in managing
the farm business, frugal living, indus
try and knowledge of the most sue.

live stock as learned from successful
farmers during his apprenticeship as n

JACKSON, March 2O.-Prison-
made binder Irvine this year will cost
the farmers $3.50 cash per 100
pounds, and $3.50 if payment is de-
layed until October
The advance in price is due TO the
increased price of sisal which
southern interests have closed in on.
The prison had to pay 1915 per 10O
pounds for sisal. and last season it
sold the finished product for $3.50.
II is IS per cent higher now. Oil
is higher, as IS also burlap.
BY better organization in the fac
tory, Warden Simpson has lowered
the overhead expense of manufactur-
ing the Irvine, and but for the ad-
vance in the cost of the raw mater
ial it would have been possible TO
have marketed the Irvine this year at
a slightly lower figure than last.
Nearly 100000 pounds of prison
Irvine has been contracted To mer-
chants with no definite price fixed.
But they have given a guaranty that
the change will be no higher than
the price made by the so-called
Irvine trust, or by the international
Harvester and Plymouth companies
The Jackson prison Irvine plant
will do a business this year of ST.
250.00O gross. As full one-half of
the output will be delivered direct
TO the consumers. the amount of
bookkeeping necessary in the con-

session. One of the big problems
before the convention will be what
10 do 70 get in better standing with
the public.
Herbert DePrez of Shelbyville.
president of the organization. says,
Dealers have been condemned in
some quarters. 1 believe. because it
was felt they were asking too much
for a product that apparently was
made without cost for raw mater
ials.
In fact 1 have had il put up to
me that the ice man was a good deal
like the United States mint In the
mint they take paper and make a
nations wealth. In the ice business
we take water and make ice. In
either case the transformation. ac-
cOrding TO the view, was from moth
ing TO something.
But the facts are that more peo-
pie look at the ice business in this
way and invest, than is generally
appreciated. Ice dealers fail more
frequently than dealers in other
lines. The mortality rate for the
ice dealer is higher than for the gen-
eral average of business. For in
stance there are fewer failures in
the clothing business.
The cost of manufacture, deliv-
cry and collection is above normal.
No other line costs so much for de-
livery. The coal business offers the
nearest comparison but coal is de-
livered without shrinkage"

The Manila Outrage.

The New York American sees provocatlon for
another note in the holding up of an American
merchant vessel in the entrance of Manila Bay
by British scout cruiser. The incident calls
forth the following editorial:
A British scout cruiser of the destroyer type
has had the impudence to enter our territorial
waters at the entrance of Manila Bay, halt an
American merchant vessel, search the ship for
an Irish passenger supposed to be on board, and
then to rob the vessel of her manifest and paper
The object of stealing the ships manifest was,
of course, to spy out the private business OF
American shippers.
When an alien warship enters our territorial
waters and forcibly halts and searches mer-
chant ship it commits an act OF war and lnfllcts
upon our flag and sovereignty the most con.
temptuous of all insults.
Of course, all high-spirited Americans will be
delighted to learn that Mr.. Lansing has already
announced his determination to SEND A NOTE
to the British Government about the matter.
There is no possible insult injury the
British Government can inflict upon the Ameri-
can flag or upon American citizens which finds
Mr.. Lansing without note ready to be hurled.
M Lansing is the most interchangeable, indus
trious, defiant and heroic hurler of notes known
to history.
It is a fine thing for the British Government
that it does not have to pay the cable tolls. That
would indeed be a dreadful blow upon their ten
derest spot.
Frankly and candidly, the cowardly submiss-
ion of our State Department to the insults and
injuries inflicted upon our commerce and our
citizens is humiliation which has become in
tolerabe to decent Americans.
We are all tired of Mr.. Lansing and his futile
and farcical notes." which England treats with
contempt and does not even deign to answer
Happily for our honor and good name we also
all have votes and rapidly approaching oppor-
tunity to use them to restore the nations rights,
honor and self-respect, as well as the respect of
the rest Of the world.
