Sulphur Necessary In Crop Production,
That sulphur. found in limited guam
titles in all soils and used in small
amounts by all plants. may become a
necessary material to be bought like
other fertilizers Is the conclusion
reached by j. w. Ames. chemist at the
Ohio experiment station. His expert
ments indicate that this element can
increase the yields Of farm crops.
The supply Of sulphur in the soil va
ries, but at present is large enough for
ordinary crops. 1t is gradually lost
from the soil by drainage and crop
ping and in future years may be add
ed like other fertilizers.
At the experiment station Mr.. Ames
has found that crop yields are some.
what greater where sulphur has been
added In addition to other fertilizers.

tural experiment station and its nature
discovered. 1t belongs to the same
class as the other mosaic diseases of
tobacco, potato, tomato, poke weed and
other plants, which have been known
for some time. The exact cause of this
class of trouble has not been discov-
cred, but 1t is considered to be what
Is known as filterable virus, an agent
of infection which is so finely divided
that it will pass through porcelain
filter and still retain its ability to re
produce the disease when injected into
healthy plants. The sap or juice of
any portion of diseased vine If in
jected into healthy vine will produce
the disease. The period of incubation
that is, the time which elapses from
the incubation of the vine to the first
visible symptoms of the disease-in the
greenhouse is from seven to fourteen
days, while in the field it is usually
fourteen to twenty-five days. The
agencies of transmission of the disease
from diseased to healthy plants are
doubtless many. 1t has been definitely
proved that plant lice transferred from
diseased to healthy plants will carry
the disease. 1t is highly probable that
other insects act as carriers.
Judging from the nature of the dis
ease and from the preliminary expert
ments thus far carried out, the RENE
dial measures indicated by our present
knowledge are III the eradication or
control Of insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease and (2) the ap-
plication of sanitary measures to elm
mate the sources Of infection. To be
most effective these methods must be
carried out by all the farmers of a
community.
/ Rigid insect control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are up
and continued throughout the season.
The fields should be gone over repeat.

previous to the beginning Of picking
and all mosaic diseased plants pulled
and destroyed as well as plants with
which they have come in contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions II
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there AS previously stat
ed for field control. all diseased plants
as found and the insects should be
eradicated to prevent their spreading
the disease.

Censor Tightens
Grip on News

WASHINGTON, July 31-A new list
of press regulations making material
changes in the voluntary censorship
rules under which American newspa-
pers have been operating was promul-
gated Monday night by the committee
on public information.
The new regulations contain the
first general request that there be
published no mention of the arrival
of American troops at European ports,
replacing in that respect an express
authorization in the old rules for use
OF any cable dispatches passed by the
European censors.
Other sections of the old regula-
tons are made more severe by spe-
cific stipulatiOns in place of the more
general language employed rules in
force until now. Information which
the government considers might re-
veal military movements or policies is
described in detail.
In the statement, according to the
new regulations, George Creel, chair
mar of the committee, says that re
peated and serious violations of vol
untary censorship have attempted to
be excused on the score of misunder-
standing and that reinstatement" is
made with the idea that hereafter
there shall be no room for doubt as
to the committees desires.

GOOD ROADS AND
TOWN REPUTATION

Communities are certainly funny in
the way they do and don't do things.
In these days of automobile travel, a
great many places erect quite promi-
nent booster signs" Towns adver-
tise themselves as being the Para
disc of America Prosperous Bling
Vile" Beautiful Jaytown," etc. Some
OF these signs are ridiculously splur-
gy, while others are reasonable, and
good advertising propositions.
But the feelings of many automo-
bile parties OF leaving a place are
quite different from what the citizens
evidently thought when they put up
those prominent signs. The boards
may say. Welcome to Lovely Po-
dunk" and Goodbye, come again"
Put if the visiting motorists have
been jolted from one end of the town
to another by an incessant series of
hollows in the road surface, so their
very bones ache while the automobile
creaks dismally, they will shake off
the dust of the machine as they pass
the local boundary. They resolve
never to come there again until the
town loosens up its tightwad purse
and spends some good money on
scientific road construction.
A community may nave handsome
houses and neatly kept lawns and
pretty %shrubbery. But if its streets
are full of depressions so that the
machine has to proceed at a snails
pace, all the civic beauty goes for
nothing and next time the travellers
will avoid the town if they IA
The same thing is true over whole
sections where road conditions are
poor. The scenery nay be attractive,
and the hotels may be good, but if
the roads are poor the people will
turn all their outing trips in other
directions. AS motor parties spend
money freely, that is a handicap to
the business of the district, not to
speak of the left handed and unfav-
orable advertising that is spread
about through the touring public.
The twice-a-week Twin Falls times. (Twin Falls, Idaho) 1916-1918, 1917-07-31

AS a matter Of fact, the idea that
there is no chance for business in
summer is a myth. AS you look at the
streets there are always just as many
people to be seen. Some are away, but
also some are visiting here. They
read the local papers, and are just as
likely to be attracted by a bargain as
the old residents.
The large department stores in the
big cities are good guides as to the
practical value of any kind of adver-
Using. They keep their notices in the
papers week after week right through
the summer. They certainly wouldn't
do it unless there is a lot of summer
trade that can be had. What pays
them will pay the merchants in a town
like ours.

Question of Help Problem in
Country and Federated Clubs
Make Some Suggestions on This
Line.

The Federation of Countrywomen's
clubs yesterday gave to the public the
following statement relative to the
use of the rest room as a place of ex-
change between those having canning
material and those desiring it, and
Herewith some suggestions regarding
the question Of help
All through the spring and summer
we have been hearing about produc-
ton and conservation, with the re-
suit that farmers have planted liber-
ally of vegetables and the fruits are
yielding abundantly and many private
kitchen gardens will have much food
stuff in excess of the housewives
needs. Those who have no gardens
in the city or country, or whose truck
patches are not yielding enough for
canning purposes are often at a loss
to know where to obtain them. All
this potential winter food stuff will
go to waste unless the producer and
consumer can come in touch with
each other. The ladies of the Federal
ed Country clubs desire to render a
patriotic service at this time through
the mtulum u Tie rest IOOIu. Inc
rest Don is for the public and we
keep a matron employed for your con-
venience.
If those people who are looking for
canning material, and those also who
have it to spare will each consum-
mate with the matron, many house
wives may be able to procure their
winter can stuff at little cost to them
selves, other than gathering and for
storing. For many country women
who have no time to market their
excess will be glad to have some one
come to the farm and get it in order
that it may not be wasted. In other
instances the price may be adjusted
to suit the individuals. Ladies who
have any excess of vegetables or
fruits which they are willing to sell
or give away, are urged to leave their
names and location, with full particu-
lars, at the rest room, so that when
inquiries come in for any of those
things from ladies who are less for
tunate, the matron will be able to put
them in touch with what they want.
There will be no charge made for
this service by the rest room. Dur
ing the next four to six weeks many
country housewives will be so busy
with work they will hardly be able
to get through the season without
help and yet help in the regular way
is almost impossible to get. There
must be many women and girls in
town who are so situated that they
could go out for two or three days at
a time at good wages to help these
women over a hard place in the road
and thus do their bit for Uncle Sam.
If these people will leave their
names and addresses at the rest room
or the Farm Bureau they will be doing
a worthy bit in conservation by re-
spending to this call of the busy, busy
farm Oma
