Many Middlebury people work every
day in some strained, unnatural position
bending constantly over desk-riding
on jolting wagons or cars-doing labor
ious homework; lifting, reaching or
pulling, or trying the back in a hundred
and one other ways. All these strains
tend to wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they fall behind in their
work of fitering the poisons from the
blood, Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys and bad backs. Their effective
work in Middlebury is convincing proof
of merit
Mrs. John E. Lowell, 50 Seymour ST.,
Middlebury, says; MY kidneys became
disordered by overworking and my back
gave me trouble. The kidney secretions
were too frequent in passage and unnat-
ural, My back bothered me mostly when
got up in the morning and when |
stopped, sharp twinges shot through my
back. could see sort of blur before
my eyes at times and | also had dizzy

time until | finally used Doan's Kidney
Pills. Four boxes helped me so much

How to FIGHT Potato Bugs

The Colorado Beetle or commonly
called potato bug, is doing its work
this year as ever and should be fought
with the usual methods. Most every
farmer knows what to do for this pest.
Some arsenetical poison is necessary and
paris green, arsenate of lead or arsenate
of zinc are some of the posons that
may be obtained through the dealers in
this section.
Anthracnose is now showing up in
the bean crop and the plants showing
this disease might well be eliminated.
This is especially noticeable at this time
in that the plants that are infested with
this disease show a sort of dark brown
celebration on the stem which comes in
spots and seems to stop the growth of
the plant Blight may also be found on
the beans and in order to stop the spread
of these diseases the beans should not
be cultivated when wet. The only way
of preventing anthracnose is by seed
selection and seed for the coming year
should be selected this fall from pods
that show no dscoloration.
Early blight may be showing up on
the potato crop any time now and late
blight will come on probably during
August The early blight effects the
yield in that it cuts down on the leaf
surface and therefore tends to limit
growth of the tubers. Late blight is a
much more serious disease as it may cut
down the tops entirely in few days
and cause rot to the tubers Both of
these diseases can be absolutely con-
trolled if properly sprayed with Bor-
deauX Mixture. 1t is possible to spray
for this blight disease and for the potato
bug at the same time. The mixture
which will prevent blight and at the
same time kill the potato bugsIls as
follows; 3pounds Copper Sulphate blue
vtroD, pounds burned or quick lime,
3 pounds Arsenate of Lead (Paste), so
gallons of water Make the solution of
pounds Copper Sulphate, gallons of
water; do likewise with the lime. Next
add 40 gallons water to the Copper Sui
phate Solution, then add the lime solu-
ton. Dissolve in this 3pounds Arsenate
of Lead (Paste). Never mix the lime
and Copper Sulphate solution in concen-
trated form Begin to spray about July
10th to 18th and spray every two weeks
for about two months.
The County Agent is going to have
few demonstrations in spraying with
the Bordeau Mixture this year and will
be glad to have the farmers attend
meetings in the fall at these demonstra-
tion plots in order to see results

Bio Strawberry Crop

Bradstreet's Burlington office says:
The past week has shown large move
ment in strawberries, one of the largest
crops the state has ever seen. Crops
are growing well and are in find condi-
ton, not only are larger areas being
well taken care of but smaller ones
witness larger number of people in the
fields, both male and female, than has
ever been witnessed in this state. In
connection with the crop harvesting
movement there is tendency on the
part of certain manufacturers to assist
as far as possible in a cooperative
movement to allow certain quota of
men to take part in the work of har-
vestng. This movement is new in this
state and its development will be
watched with interest.

We believe that the end Of the
great war FOR democracy Of govern
mcnt and freedom Of peoples from
autocratic rulers has been unfortu-
natcly and indefinitely prolonged by
reason Of the pitiablc conditions that
have come to pass in Russia within
the past two weeks. The lack OF sta
bility on the part Of the Russian SOL
dlerS, their lack OF character and
their many reasonable acts OF the re-
cent past must 90 down in history as
blot on the Russian nation. While
these unfortunate conditions are
proving Il great setback to the war

prove disastrous. The end is sure
and fate, we believe. has already
sealed the doom OF autocracy. The
pity OF it is that the gaining OF the
