MANY IN SUMMER SPORTS

Columbia, Mo-, June 25.-Two hun.
drad twenty-five Summer Session stu.
dents have enrolled in the ten courses
of the athletic department of the Uni
vegity of Missouri. "This depart.
ment of the University shows a re-
markable increase in enrolment in
spite of war;" said C. L. Brewer, di-
rector. 1.-THE theory of coaching and
training is the most popular among
the teachers. While swimming is
popular among women, and baseball
among men, tennis is also popular
with both sexes, and golf is the IA
vorite amusement among the older
students and members of the facunty.'
A baseball league for all students,
golf and tennis tournaments are
planned this session, and summer
school carnival will be given by the
athletic department soon. The sum-
mer coaches are under Coach Miller
and Director Brewer.

SORGHUM FOR FOOD OR FEED

Molasses "like father used to make
cannot often be found, these days
Such as he made was a joy for-all
! winter.
Sorghum is a good crop for war or
peace, for human or animal food. 1t
is easy to grow for either purpose.
Does well on soil little too thin for
corn to make good crop, and the
lighter soils produce better product.
Heavy soils produce an abundance
but not so good quality, so says
Sam Jordan in an appeal issued by
Jewell Mayes of the Missouri State
Board of Agriculture in the interest
of more profitable production, food
conservation and feed supply.
For molasses, the seed should be
drilled, using to 5 pounds per acre,
and the crop cultivated. Seeding for
molasses should be done by July 1,
if possible. If green or frosted it is
not fit for molasses making.
Understanding outfits may be
available to most communities. If not,
steps might be we'll taken to secure
same. The juice of the sorghum can
then be made into wholesome human
food, and the ground stalks when put
into the silo make a fair quality of
silage. Early Amber for molasses is
good, perhaps, as any.
Sorghums for animal food may be
sown late. Sometimes, sown as late
as August /, it has made an enormous
growth, depending on soil and season.
If ground can be made in condition,
following wheat or oats, sorghum may
be sown and good results expected if
soil and season are good.
When sown for hay, it is commonly
sown broadcast or with grain drill.
This requires from so to 70 pounds
per acre. Heavier seeding is needed
when broadcasted. Most any varie-
ty will do for this purpose.
The non-saccharine sorghums such
as kafir corn, milo-maize, and feter-
tia, make good forage crops, and may
be sown late. They do especially well
in dry weather, as compared to many
other crops. They do best in rows,
that they may be given some cultiva-
ton. 8 to pounds per acre for seed
growing, but if drilled soildly, SO to
go pounds of seed per acre is recon-
mended,

MISSOURI WHEAT WILL
BE IN DEMAND FOR SEED

Missouri wheat is Of exceptionally
good quality this year. This opinion
was expressed at recent cereal con-
ference in Kansas City which was at
tended by men from practically all
sections of the United States. These
men regard the Missouri crop as the
best in the red winter wheat district
of the United States. 1t is probable
that Missouri wheat will be in demand
as seed this fall not only at home, but
in surrounding States. 1t is likely
that the wheat Of the northwest part
of the State will be required by adj
joining sections of Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa for fall seed.
The University of Missouri College
of Agriculture has taken up for the
first time the certification of wheat
fields. In view of the demand which
in all probability will be made, it is
desirable that the fields which produce
pure, clean seed of good quality be
known. Heretofore the State has not
been organized so that the work
could be done efficiently. The Agri-
cultural Extension Service will have
five or six men in the field to inspect
the wheat. An examination will be
made of the varietal purity, freedom
from disease, freedom from weeds,
and general condition of the crop.
Men will be sent only to counties that
have been organized and even then it
will be impossible to cover more than
those counties which have large areas
of good wheat. The secretary of the
farm bureau, in cooperation with the
various local secretaries of farm clubs,
will aid in inspecting the fields.
1t is not only necessary that the
best seed wheat be available for Mis-
souri,, but it is probable that other
corn belt States will be in the mar
ket for seed 1t is likely that the
wheat which is certified will bring
higher price for seed than it will for
ordinary consumption. The College
of Agriculture is working with the
seeds stock committee of the United
States Department of Agriculture
which is an emergency organization.
This committee will help in placing
the seed. an

FRUITS MAY BE PRE-
SERVED BY DRYING

The drying of fruits by means OF
artificial heat is an easy and simple
method OF preservation. 1t may be
done in small homemade or COM
mercial dryer at small expense and
with little effort. Miss Addie d.
Root of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture offers few
suggestions for drying fruits:
Apples may be peeled and quartered
or sliced crosswise in one-eighth inch
slices. Dropping the apples after
they are prepared into salt water,
tablespoon Of salt to one gallon of
water, will prevent them from turning
brown before being placed in the dry
er. 1t is best to dry them as quickly
as possible after preparing so that
light, attractive product may be OBJ
tanned. The apples should be turned
or stirred occasionally to insure even
drying throughout. If beads Of mois-
ture come out and the apples become
very sticky, the temperature is too
high. The temperature in the dryer
should be kept at about 140 degrees
Fahrenheit. From two to two and
one-half hours are usually required
for drying apples with artificial heat.
The following tests will tell when
the apples are sufficiently dry: /.
Impossible to press water out of the
freshly cut ends of the pieces: q.
sufficiently elastic not to break when
pieces are rolled into a cylinder; 3.
when mass of slices are pressed
firmly into ball in, the hand, they
should separate at once when released
a. surfaces should be soft and ad-
here slightly to the fingers.
Other fruits, like peaches, apricots, |
plums and pears are dried in the same
manner as given for apples.

CHILDREN MAY GET
DISEASE FROM CATTLE


Columbia, Mo-, June 25.-Studie!
of the last few years have proved thai
tuberculosis of cattle can be commun.
icated to man. The danger is greater
for children, and greatest for these
under years of age. The disease is
communicated to children almost en-
tirely through the drinking of milk
Eating the meat of tuberculosis cat
tie does not appear to be especially
dangerous, largely because the meat
is eaten cooked. Adults do not ap-
pear to be prone to contract the cat
tie type of tuberculosis; however, it
must be recognized that there is dan
ger.
Apart from the public health as
pect of the question, the economic
side must be considered. Tuberculo-
sis is common among cattle and tre-
mendously widespread among hogs,
The last report from the Bureau of
Animal Industry shows that carcass
es of $4,000 cattle and $4,000 hogs
were condemned entirely on this ac-
count, in addition to $4,000 parts of
cattle and $4,000 parts of hogs, rem
dered unfit for food by the same di-
sease.
The disease is spread among healthy
herds largely by the use of by-pro-
ducts from the creameries and cheese
factories. SKINNED milk which is
taken from the creamery for the feed
ing of calves may contain the tubercle
germ. The farmer who gets back
his by-products does not receive his
own milk but the mixed milk from a
number of farms. He is, therefore,
at the mercy of his neighbors, and
the neighbor who harbprs tuberculo-
sis Cattle, may in this way spread it
to the farms of careful farmers who
take every precantion. Hogs are
practically always infected from cat
tie, largely through the use of the
by-prodRcts from rxeameries.
Few problems facing the farmers of
today equal in Importance the gues-
tion OF animal tuberculosis. 1t is al
SO reflected in the high cost Of meat.
The Nancy lost fIum this disease in
the UrnGed States is estimated at rs
million dollars a year. Just how this
is distrRmIted cannot be told in a short
article, but it is fair to assume that
THE meat eater pays large part of
Et. The cost of meat is raised by the
barge nranber of condemnntions neces-
sary at the slaughtering establish
ments. 1t behooves everyone, then,
to guard against tuberculosis of do
nestic animals, both on account of
the danger to mankind and also on ac-
count of its effect in raising the price
Of our meat and limiting the supply.

WATCH FOR WATER
MELON ANTHRACNOSE

Anthracnose of the watermelon is a
widely distributed disease quite COM
mon and oftentimes destructive in the
melon growing districts of the State
The fungus causing the disease at
tacks all portions of the plant above
the ground. Early infection and rap
i'd spread may result in destruction of
the plants before harvested. Owing
to the destructive nature of this para
site, w. H. Lawrence of the University
of Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends that an attempt be made
to prevent the fungus from attacking
the plant.
The best preventive is 4-4-50 bor-
deaux mixture. This mixture should
be prepared very carefully and applied
in the form of mist, and in such a
manner as to completely coat the
leaves and fruit. Several applica-
lions may be necessary. The first APP
plication is the most important, how
ever. Spraying should begin at once
following the first appearance of the
disease, or better, few days earlier.
Warm, moist or rainy weather ia
vors the spread of the disease. When
such conditions occur two or more APP
plications to 10 days apart should
be made. The effectiveness of the APP
plication will depend very largely up
on the thoroughness of the work.
A spraying outfit maintaining. a
pressure 0f $50 to IT'S pounds equip
ped with angle nozzles and elbow
coupling makes it possible to throw
a spraw beneath the leaves with suf-
ficient force that all parts of the en-
tire plant are coated, producing more
than average results.

The Red Cross Christmas seal stands
for one of the greatest undertakings
Of our day, and work that everyone
can help along. Miss Boardman says
in 'Under the Red Cross Flag"
"The charter of the American Red
Gross places the duty upon it of miti-
eating the sufferings caused by pesti-
lence and the devising of measures to
prevent the same. No more dangerous
and insidious pestilence exists than
that which is called the great white
plague-no country or nation is free
from it's ravages. 1t requires not only
the skill Of the specialists to combat
1t, but the earnest cooperation of the
entire nation, rich and poor, old and
young"
During the past seven years over
$33OO,0OO have been raised by the sale
of the Christmas seal for active work
In combating tuberculosis. Ninety per
cent of the profits on the sale of
seals belongs to the community in
which they are sold. The remaining
ten per cent goes to the Red Cross and
Is used to defray the expenses of print
Ing seals, posters, and other advertis-
Ing matter. If any money remains
after these things are paid for, it is
divided between the Red Cross and

Prevention of Tuberculosis.

Prevention of Tuberculosis.
The seal was launched in this coun-
try by Mr.. Jacob Riis, who lost one
after another of six brothers with tu-
berculosis. One day near Christmas,
1906, Mr.. Riis received a letter from
his old home in Denmark which car
ried besides regular postage many new
strange stamps. He discovered that
these stamps were sold to help the
Danish people battle against tubercu'
losis. He wrote about this stamp in
the Outlook a forceful article which
fell into the hands of Miss Bissell, and
she took the idea UP in order to
raise funds for antitubcrculosis work
needed in Delaware, and this set of
circumstances-the Danish stamp, Mr.
Riis' letter, the need of money in Dela-
ware, and Miss Bissell's insight and
initiative, led to the Red Cross Christ
mas seal.
When we come to realize that the
white plague kills an army of a hum
dred and fifty thousand people every
year, we also realize that it is a calam-
ity to rank with war. Tuberculosis
is a preventable disease, and the Red
Cross has entered the battle against
if. The Christmas seals have had an
immense educational value and are
witnesses to it's benevolent strength,

The frame of mind in which the
world of fashion finds itself just now
does not encourage the unusual or
conspicuous in styles, and new SUITS
md coats reflect this mood. IhCic: is
no lack Of variety, however, in suits.
Colors are quiet and rich, lines grace
full and designing leans toward sim
plicity. In other words, styles arc
conservative, and for that reason the
new suits presented for fall have
about reached the apex of excellence.
In colors what are called the glove
shades are favored. They include
brown, taupe, mouse, castor, gray and
Jan. There is a shade of brown with
q hint of wine in it and Il platinum
gray that are especially effective in
satin or other high-luster goods. The
iveliest colors appear in shades of
amethyst and dark wine color. There
Is a considerable range in amethyst
shades and they are most beautiful.
Dark blue, it goes without saying, is
