a man for place in this organiZa-
ton, and if we must lose you, we
wish you all kinds of success"

with land title litigation and the
eternal anS expensive search of rec
ords and making OF abstracts which
now cost landowners so much.
OF course, the man getting Tor

however. need not be large, not
much larger than The cost now of an
examination of records and the max

ing the system usually provide that
the title fee shall be certain per
cent of the value of the land. aud
this prevents the charges on small
tract becoming too great.
II the Torrens system should be
enacted into law, it is not likely that
many people would go to the expense
of getting a Torens title unless there
was some claim against their land
which they felt would be set aside by
a competent examiner. Men buy
ing land would be likely, however. to
insist on Torrens titles. Certainly
they would if wise. Thus one after
another the land titles of the state
would definitely be determined for
all time and disputes about boundar-
les, overlapping claims and disputed
rights be done away with.
Certainly, this is contamination

There is a chance, too, that the sys

until the titles are cleared up. The
new law is just one more reason why
we should have the Torrens system.

Control Of Watermelon stem.End Rot

Control Of Watermelon Sten-End Rot
Washington. ID. Watermelon
stem rot results in a decay of the
melon. at the stem end, which usu-
ally develops during transit to mar
ket. The Investigations of the U. S.
Department OF Agriculture have
shown that the. cause is fungus
which is common in many southern
telds or dead stalks of cotton, corn.
and many weeds, as well as on de-
csying melons. The spores of this
fungus are blown about by the wind
and lodge on the moist cut end of
the melon stem after 1t is severed
from the vine, terminate, and grow
into the melon, which often begins
10 decay within three days.
The experiments made last sum-
mer on several carloads of melons Of
fer good hopes that this stem-enf
rot can be prevented. The methods
recommended by the Department of
Agriculture are as follows:
/. Cut and burn all weeds around
the field and along ditch banks dur
ing the winter.
2. From the time that the melons
set on the vines, all Gull fruit should
be hauled out OF the field weekly
and fed TO hogs, or deeply buried.
Wash the wagons used for hauling
culls with a two per cent bluestone
solution.
8. Spraying with bordeaux mix
ture for anthracnose will probably
help control stem-end rot.
4. Laborers harvesting melons
should never cut or touch decayed
melon.
5. Cut melons with long stems
and load into cars with the least pos
sible delay and with the utmost care (.
in handling, to avoid bruising. Open /.
car ventilators.
g. Most important OF ALL apply !
a paste made of common starch with /
six per cent bluestone to the fresh |
ly cut stems as the melons are being /
packed in thine car. 1t has been !
found that disinfecting the stems at |
other times is less effective, as the
paste is rubbed off by handling. f!
AS the packer arranges the mel
ons in tiers, have him place the
stem ends outward. while a reliable
boy cuts section of the stem and
applies q covering of paste with a
small, round brush. +

tanned decayed melons or yard refuse

GOOD ROADS.
CBy ". II. Cundin.)


Our Ohio County farmers need bet
ter means OF transportation and mar
keting. The way TO have better
means of transportation and market
ing is to have better roads.
Good roads are not only an econ
omy but thsy are also an evidence
OF civilization and social advance
ment.
The social ideal, being one Of ccliec-
tiveism for the common good, ever
signifies the benefit to be derived
from collective action for the good
OF the community.
Individual action is generally weak
and inefficient in the Accomplishment
OF great results. Hence, individual
ism is almost complete failure; be-
cause the individual is not as strong
and as efficient, as the whole people
collectively
Cooperation is the fundamental
principal OF collectivism, which, in
serving the social community, ever
serves the individual, for the simple
reason that unity (co-operation) is
far more potent for the common good
because of its greater power for ac-
complement, by reason of its great
or strength and efficiency in the per-
Torrance OF those things which re-
dound 10 the social and common good
Of the entire community. Therefore,
We need cooperation We need co
operation, not only in the building of
good roads, but also In the organiza-
ton OF our schools for efficiency in
educational methods and greater re-
suits in the requirement Of that
knowledge which gives the enlight-
rrent which illumines the pathway
Of life toward a greater civilization
and a happier and wiser social or
der.
Good roads are OF great practical
utility and economy, because they
gave teams, vehicles, time and mon
ey, by the greater facility of trans
portation and marketing. Facility
is required. Teams. etc, cost money
and are a loss ii worn out soon or
bad roads. And vehicles soon veal
out on rough, bad roads. Then. the,
too. are loss because OF poor roads
Besides saving teams, vehicles and
time on good roads Is equivalent Il
saving money. And the economy o
good roads soon mounts up to thou
sands OF dollars saved by the com
munity. because II stops the vast
OF money used in having bad road
frequently patched up" Morrow
or. travel on good roads is easy am
pleasant. And, by reason OF goo
travelling, better transportation an
marketing, all at an opportune tim
for travelling. transporting and mark
citing. when transportation is cheap
casy and convenient on good roads
