sPREAn BEAN RUST ON VINES
Wisconsin Plant Disease Specialist OF
Wisconsin College Gives Some
Timely Advice.

Farmers who understand condf-
lions in the spread Of bean rust or
anthracnose, al it is termed, never cul-
tivate or walk through the field while
the vines are wet with rain or dew"
This is the information given by r.
E. Vaughan, plant disease specialist at
the College of Agriculture, University
Of Wisconsin. When the bean plants
are dry there is less danger of brush
ing off the tiny spores which spread
the disease.
The bean a~nthracnose, in common
with one or two other spot diseases OF
garden beans, is most successfully con-
trolled by careful selection Of healthy
seed. Owing to the greatly Increased
acreage Of beans in Wisconsin this
year 1t is highly important that grow
ers become familiar with conditions
which affect the crop. Spraying Is OF
little value in controlling the disease
under field conditions.

D COTTON CROP

st. Matthews, Aug. 31.-What
promised a few weeks ago to be
something of a bumper cotton crop
now promises to be a short crop
with an early harvest. The recent
burning sun has practically cut off
the blooms and growing forms, while
the bolls, many of them imperfectly
formed, are popping open at an IN
credible rate. 1t hardly seems pos
sible that rains will in any way affect
the crop except perhaps to help the
fruit now on the stalk. The fields
are as white in many places as is
often the case in early October, and
in some places where the land is
light it is said that the greater part
of the cotton is open. Farmers are
attributing the shortage partly to the
dry weather and partly to the alb
sence of potash in fertilizers. A few
who succeeded in getting potash are
said to have benefited by it to a
marked degree.

First, Men Modified Will Be Whites,
According to New Orders from
Provost Marshal General.

Adjt. Gen. w. w. Moore, who has
charge of the mobilization Of the
States quota in the national army,
today transmitted orders to local
exemption boards throughout the
State to mobilize 5 per cent. of their
quota on September 5 instead Of the
80 per cent. originally planned. In
addition to the 5 per cent. called on
September 5, 40 per cent. will be mo-
loilized September 10, 40 pc cent. Oc-
aober 8, and the remaining Is per
cent. as soon thereafter as practical
Die.
"In view Of the fact" the order
states, "that the 5 per cent. called
for September s is such a small num-
BIER from each local board it will be
necessary to string out the mobiliza-
lion for five days, but on the con-
trary the 5 per cent, can move read
lily on the day set forth without in
terfering in any way with the local
traffic Of the respective railroads."
Only white men are to be included
in the first 5 per cent. called.

PRICE OF WHEAT.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-The Govern
ment price of 1920 sent for wheat
is fair, should make flour sell at
approximately $40 a barrel, and
should enable bakers to make a s.
cent, 14-ounce loaf of bread, James
A. Patten, "wheat king" declared
today.
Charles Paesch, president Of the
Illinois Master Bakers Association,
declared the scent loaf of bread has
been relegated to the days of the
prairie schooner, so far as the ba-
kers are concerned. Bakers can
make a scent loaf if they get SO or
$40 flour, he said, but he expressed
the belief that flour can not be made
at that price from wheat which costs
2.20 a bushel.

"SAMMIES" WAS OF
UNINTENTIONAL ORIGIN

The origin of nicknames is lost
usually in a blaze of uncertain ru-
mol and of perfervid imagination.
When no true explanation is avail
able, someone. gifted with the latter
starts out with a pen-or a type
writer-and evolves one
There has been a deal to do over
the name "Sammies," which the
French'a are said to have christened
our soldiers with on their arrival in
La Belle France. The boys them
selves say they do not like it a bit.
It's undignified, they complain.
But the fact is-if reports sent in
personal letters by officers to their
colleagues still remaining at home
are to be trusted-that the French
never thought of such a name.
The goes that at the "port in
France" where our first contingent
landed, the fighting lads swung into
the main street of the town to march
to the railroad depot and were given
such a reception as made them al
most weep.
Crowds that completely covered
the sidewalks lined the street along
which the American fighting lads
strobe their way. And up and down
those crowds swept the cry:
"Vivent nos Amis! INVENT nos
Amisw (Long live our friends.)
The boys strobe on. Some listened.
One of them heard it with his ears,
but didn't get it with his mind, be-
cause he did not understand the
language.
"By George, they're calling US
Sammie" he exclaimed to his line
mate out the corner of his mouth.
And that explanation went about
among the soldiers. Then a CORES
spondent heard it from n of them.
It got on the cable and the trouble
was started.-Atlanta Georgian.

BLAME M0LEs FOR INJURIES
Real Miscreants Are Small Animals
That Follow In Runway
Skins Are Valuable.

Although complaints Of damage done
by moles are frequently heard, the real
damage is often done by small animals
that follow the moles' runways and
damage corn and other seeds. The
mole itself lives very largely on earth
worms, white grubs, beetles, spiders
and other insects. They very rarely
eat seeds. In recent years, this little
rodent has assumed a commercial i'm

are now more than 100000 mole
skins sold annually at the great Lon
