Acts Of Legislature.
 Advance copies of the legislative acts of 1917 were received by Tom Terral, secretary of state, and will be placed on sale. Five thousand copies will be printed by the Democrat Printing and Lithographing Company, but only about 100 have been receiv- ed. The remainder will be delivered in a few days at Secretary Terrals request. Attorney General J. D. Ar buckle rendered an opinion that be- cause the digests and state laws in the past contain no record of the price that should be charged, unless it was tackled on to some obscure ap- propriation bill at some time in the past, that it was probably intended the acts should be sold at cost. The acts are in two volumes and will ac- cordingly be sold as follows: Paper binding. $2; Venetian velIum, B; buckram, $35O

WATER LILIES
By [. M. BENNINGTON.

No more interesting adjunct to a country estate from a pictorial stand point can be imagined than a pond of water lilies.
 So far as the planting goes, an easy method is to put the plants with soil in some shallow baskets and sink these to the bottom. Nymphae is a hardy lily and the culture of it is not a problem which presents grave difi- culties. Before the baskets have routed away the plants will have at- tached themselves to the bottom of the pond.
 Where there Is a rich, muddy bot tom to the pond piece of pipe is fastened to a root and cast in where the water is between 20 inches and two feet deep.
 While lilies thrive in cement tanks which have foot of soil and the re- mainder for water, the natural ele-

COLLECTING FLOWER SEEDS

It is desirable to save ones seeds, not only as a matter of economy, but as a means of improving the variety.
 In collection of annual plants, all from the same stock of seed, there will be considerable variety presented.
 Some may vary from the general stock in the size or color of the flow- CT and others in the habit of the plant.
 These peculiarities are not certain to be reproduced, but the probability is that some of the seeds from such plants will show them; and by follow ing a course of selection one can in a few years establish variety that will come constantly true from seed.
 It has been found in practice that though a peculiarity may not show it. self very strongly the first year, 1t will manifest itself the next year if the grower perseveres.
 It is we'll to mark those plants, the seeds of which are to be saved, while the plants are in full bloom, and not trust to memory.
 In bed of plants from which seeds are to be saved, promiscuously, and when it is desirable to have all one color, those of a different shade from the required, must be pulled out as soon as they show themselves.
 Some seed pods open with a jerk as soon as ripe and scatter the contents for distance. Some open by a hole or crack, and as the plant is swayed by the wind the seeds are gradually sifted out.
 In other cases there Is no provision for the scattering of the seeds, but the fruit of seed vessels must decay be- fore they are liberated.
 It is not necessary to wait until seeds are dead ripe before collecting them. A little experience teaches one to know the point at which it is safe to gather.
 Those seed vessels which in break ing scatter the seed, should be gath cred just before they open, and be allowed to pop under some convenient cover.
 AS soon as the seeds are gathered, put label with them, and when they are thoroughly dry, clean and store them away.
 The manner of cleaning seed is va- r1ed, according to circumstances, sift- ing, gently winnowing, rubbing be- tween the hands being resorted to ac- cording to the kind of seed.

 The beauty of lilies as they grace fully lie upon the surface of the water garden lends particularly pretty pic. torial note to the home garden.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 Tobacco wilt, which has proved to be destructive disease in the fiue- cured tobacco district, can be con trolled through crop rotations and the exclusion of infection from drainage, from fertilization and from the use of infected implements. This has been brought out by experiments carried on by specialists of the department for series of years.
 The disease is exceedingly destruc- tive causing the plant to die outright and frequently resulting in practical ly complete failure of the crop. It produces symptoms iR the leaves, the stalk, and the roots of the tobacco plant. The more prominent features are characteristic umbrellalike dropping of the leaves the presence of a yellowish to black diseoloration in the woody portion of the stalk (showing as streaks when the bark is stripped off), the presence of slimy ooze when the stalk is cut across with a knife. and a decided decay of the root system.
 The wilt is caused by an organism which enters the plant through the root and eventually brings about q plugging of the vessels, thus cutting off the water supply from the leaves and causing them to wilt and perish. Fertilizers, cultural methods, weather conditions, and the like may influence the extent or progress of the disease, and 1t has been observed that it is decidedly more destructive in relative ly wet seasons.
 Possible Remedies Tried.
 In the tests made by the department numerous possible remedies were tried, including crop rotation, treat ment with various alkalis, acids, and neutral salts including fertilizer ma terials and germicides, and the use of physical treatment such as subsoiling with blow and dynamite. None of these methods other than crop rotation were effective, however and it is be-
