 When athletics were dead and buried in the school. Geary resuirected them again and put them among the living. Football especially was a failure when he took hold of it. Through hard labor he has successfully produced teams which won the state championship three years straight He did likewise with the track team.
 It has been announced time and again he was to retire, but the pupils would not stand for it. The last time it took a great deal of coaXing to bring him back. He will be with the school next year.
 There has been many and many college which has sent him offers. but he turned them down. Some of the best colleges on the coast made him offers and he refused Geary likes the school and the fellows. although he is an easterner there is something about the people that appeals to him and he could not leave the state if he really wanted to.
 Ceary has done more for the school than any other single man in the city and the students appreciate this fact.

PLANT LICE ATTACK GARDENS

Many kinds of plant lice have be-
come unusually destructive on almost
all of the garden and truck crops this
season. The plant lice are small, del
icate winged and wingless insects
which feed upon plant juices by
thrusting their long beaks into the
plant tissues Contact sprays, such
as kerosene emulsion, soap washes,
and nicotine solutions, are recon-
mended of plant lice by T. J. Talbert
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture. Stomach poisons,
such as arsenate of lead, paris green,
london purple, and other arsenicals
are useless against these insects.
Plant lice may be easily killed with
small quantities of commercial nico-
tine in soapy water Nicotine is bet
ter suited for use than other sprays
because it is effective and less in
furious to tender plants. Where only
small quantities are required, the
nicotine sulphate may be used at the
rate of one teaspoonful to a gallon
of soapy water or about three table,
spoonfuls to 8 gallons of soapy water.
Home made tobacco tea may be used
instead of commercial nicotine sui
phate. Seep one pound of tobacco
stems, leaves or refuse in one gall
Ion of water. The water must not be
allowed to boil since the boiling would
drive off the volatile nicotine and re-
duce the value of the solution. The
tea should be diluted with an equal
amount of soapy water, after which it
is ready for use.
Soapy water often makes an effec-
tive spray. This may be made by dis
solving one pound of fish oil soap or
laundry soap in about four gallons
of water.
Remember that each plant louise
must actually be hit and wet by the
spray material, otherwise it escapes.
After the leaves of the plant have be-
come curled by the pest, it is difficult
to hit with the spray. In most cases,
thorough work may be done by using
an extension rod equipped with a
crook or angle nozzle, which allows
the operator to spray the under sides
Of the leaves thoroughly. A good
type of disc nozzle and sufficient force
to produce a penetrating spray is
necessary for best results.

COWS ON PASTURE
MAY NEED GRAIN

Does it pay to feed grain to cows
on pasture? The results obtained at
the University of Missouri College of
Agriculture indicate that it depends
largely upon how much milk the cows
give and how good the pasture is. If
COW is producing less than a pound
of butter each day the necessary food
can be obtained from a good pasture.
If she produces more some grain can
be fed profitably. This means that
"a Jersey cow should be able to get
enough food from grass to make about
20 pounds of milk daily and Holstein
about rs to 80.
1t will pay to feed grain to all
cows which give more than this
amount, since high producing animals
cannot gather sufficient feed in the
form of grass. A COW giving a pound
and half of butter daily should re-
ceive about five pounds of grain daily,
and one giving two pounds of butter
should receive seven or eight pounds
of grain. When not more than four
or five pounds of grain arc fed it may
consist of corn. If more than this is
needed, some bran, or a small amount
of cottonseed meal should be added.
These recommendations hold good on
ly when pastures are good. In late
summer it will often be, necessary to
feed more grain to high producing
cows or to give some silage or green
feeds to help out the pastures.

GOVERNMENT URGES
EMERGENCY TRAINING

Officials of the United States Gov
eminent have emphasized the impor-
lance of maintaining sthe supply of
scientifically and TECHNICALLY trained
men. Their recommendations are es-
pecially applicable to the farmer.
Since the army will take alarge num-
Der of the agricultural students and
young men who work on farms, it is
especially important that those who
are not old enough to enter the army
receive training that will not only en-
able them to fill the places which have
been made vacant but will enable them
to become more efficient producers.
Many of the boys under conscrip-
ton age have not received the prelim-
mary training which is necessary for
them to enter four-year college
course. Many others cannot be spared
from home during the nine months in
the year when the course is offered.
Spring, summer and fall are their
busiest seasons. Any training which
they receive must be obtained during
the winter.
The University Of Missouri College
of Agriculture has made provision for
such boys. A short course is offered
during November and December, JAN
uary and February. This course has
been especially adapted to the con-
venience and needs of busy farmers
and their sons.
A recent summary of the wages of
students who have attended this
course during the last three years in
dicates that most of them are under
the age required by the army. Of the
705 short course students, Ala or 58.7
per cent were under CONSUMPTION age.
Twenty-seven or 3.8 per cent were
above CONSUMPTION age. In view of the
national conditions, it has been sug-
gested that an even larger number of
men and boys outside the CONSUMPTION
age limits attend the short course this
year. By attending the course these
men and boys can become more eff
cient producers and thus be more able
to fill the positions of those who have
been called to the colors.
P. M. Brandt, superintendent of the
short courses, estimates that expens-
es need not be more than $40 term.
The average last year was $52. This
includes books, board, room and fees.
1t did not include railroad fare and
incidentals which will vary considera-
bly, with different students.

SHEEP NEGLECTED
AT LOCAL FAIRS

Sheep are usually neglected at most
local fairs. They make one of the
most attractive features of livestock
exhibits where exhibitors and fair
managers cooperate. A few of the
points which will help make a good
exhibit are mentioned by Howard
Hackedorn of the University of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture.
l. Keep fleeces as clean as possible.
All dung tags should be washed out
or trimmed off.
2. All foreign material, such as
straw and burs, should be picked out
of the fleece.
3. The feeces of the medium wool
breeds of sheep should be thoroughly
carded out and the stringy ends of
wool trimmed so as to present a
smooth and attractive fleece.
a. The feet should be kept trimmed
so the animal can stand naturally.
Long "sled runner" toes are unnatu-
raj and frequently develop foot trou-
ble
Sheep that are to be exhibited
should be taught to stand by frequent
and patient handling at home for a
few weeks so that when the judge un-
dertakes to examine them they will
not be continually twisting and pull
ing away.
Sheep should be kept as fat as prac-
tical. Sheep will not fatten much
during the hot summer months, hence
those that are to be exhibited should
not be allowed to get too thin in flesh
during the winter and spring. The
lambs should be literally fed. Oats,
bran, oil cake, good grass and hay and
not too much corn will be found salts
factory.
In addition to feed, the sheep and
particularly the lambs should be pro-
vided with cool, clean and comforta-
BILE quarters during the heat of the
day. Flies are less troublesome in
darkened quarters.
7. When showing sheep do not be
satisfied with merely contending for
the premium. Insist on bringing the
sheep out of the pens for the inspec-
ton of the judge, and further request
the fair management to have a def
mite time for sheep judging so that
people interested will have an oppor-
tunity to see the animals outside the
pen where they can make a more &C
curate comparison of individuals.
8. Make the pens attractive by
keeping them clean. Insist on hav-
ing them accessible to the public.

FORMALIN NOW FOR
TREATING SEED WHEAT

The ravages of smut in wheat costs
the farmers of Missouri hundreds of
thousands of dollars annually. Ac-
cording to the department of farm
crops of the University of Missouri,
practical tests have repeatedly proved
that smut may be controlled and the
yield of wheat invariably increased
by treating the seed The method of
treating seed for smut is simple, easy
and cheap, costing only a few cents
to treat enough seed for an acre.
Briefly, the treatment consists in
stirring a pint of formalin into 80 or
40 gallons of water, thoroughly wet
ting the seed wheat with the solution
and then drying it so that it will run
through the grain drill. Some persons
prefer dipping the seed into the So
luton, others prefer sprinkling the
solution on the seed. Whether the
seed is dipped or sprinkled makes no
difference, provided it is thoroughly
wet with the solution.
Before wheat seeding time, the
College of Agriculture, through the
Agricultural Extension Service, plans
to carry on a vigorous campaign for
the control of smut in the next wheat
crop. 1t will send men to conduct To-
cal demonstrations in the treatment
of seed and will supply information to
localities which cannot be reached by
demonstrators. The work will be done
mainly through farmers organizations
and the first step in the campaign
must be taken by the farmers them
selves. They must either obtain for
themselves a supply of formalin or
must see that it is carried by local
dealer so that it will be on hand when
needed. A pint of formalin will make
enough solution for treating 20 to so
bushels of seed. From this the farm
er and local dealers can calculate the
supply needed. Formalin is now
cheap, but undoubtedly the price will
rise in the early fall when the demand
for it in treating seed becomes gene
raj over the country. 1t should there
fore be obtained early.

ROAD BOND ACTIVITIES

Southeast Missouri is thoroughly
imbued with the good roads spirit,
bond issue election campaigns having
been called for the first week in Aug
ust in Scott, Mississippi and New
Madrid counties. The State Highway
Department has been requested to
render assistance in these campaigns,
and in response has forwarded a
compilation of suggestions and argu-
ments used successfully by A. c. Nc
Kibbin, secretary of the State High
way Board, in St. Louis, Jefferson,
Wayne and Dent counties, where road
bond campaigns were conducted with
success. This information and data
is available for all counties contem-
plating the adoption of bond issue
for road and bridge purposes.
