SOME SOIL TOBACCO slck'
Disease Resisting Varieties Being De-
veloped by Specialists Of Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Because some soils In the Connecti-
cut valley have become tobacco sick,"
which has resulted in heavy losses to
tobacco growers, particularly where ar
tif1cial shades are used for growing
wrapper leaf, specialists Of the United
States department Of agriculture have
been at work developing disease-resist-
ant varieties.
It has also been shown that the use
of fertilizer or acid reaction will MAJ
terially reduce the injury caused by
the disease. Proper rotation wher-
ever practicable also appears ito be
an effective remedy. In Maryland,
where a similar or identical disease Is
giving much trouble. the native vari-
cites which are susceptible have been
crossed with foreign resistant strains,
with a view to obtaining resistant
types adapted to local requirements.
In Wisconsin and In the Burley Sec
ton Of Kentucky progress has been
made in the control of tobacco root rot
through the development Of resistant
varieties. The disease causes heavy
damage in these regions every year
and ordinary Burley tobacco is espe-
cially susceptible. In fields where the
native Burleys have failed completely.
some of the resistant strains have
given surprisingly good results.

DousLE.AcT,on PUMP FOR SPRAYING.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
For spraying few plants or very
small trees hand atomlzers may be
used. These are made Of brass, cop
per, heavy tin, or other material, and
usually have a capacity Of one quart.
Bucket Pumps.
Bucket pumps are fairly convenient
and satisfactory for spraying small
gardens and shrubs or small trees.
They should be Of brass or other nom
corrosive metal and preferably should
be equipped with an agitator. In some
pumps agitation is provided by means
Of a small jet of the liquid which
squirts from the bottom Of the pump
into the liquid as the pump is oper-
ated. For convenience in spraying,
these pumps may be clamped to the
bucket, or used free in tub or other
vessel containing the spray material.
They should be supplied with spray
rod, and sufficient hose to spray con-
veniently the plants to be treated.
knapsaek Pumps.
A knapsack pump may be used for
small spraying operations. These
pumps have capacity Of about four
gallons and are provided with an air
chamber to insure pressure and a
steady spray. They are carried on the
back of the operator and pumped by
one hand, while the other is used to
hold the spray rod.
Small Compassionate Pumps.
Compressed air pumps are frequent
~ used in small fruit gardens and are
preferred to the bucket or knapsack
pumps by those who do not wish to
pump while applying the spray. These
pumps are usually made of brass or
galvanized sheet steel and have ca
pacity Of three to four gallons. They
are carried by means of shoulder
strap. In the better types, agitation
is provided, usually by the entrance
of the air at the bottom Of the tank.
Barrel Pumps.
The barrel hand-pump outfit has q
capacity Of about so gallons, and has

REDUCE DECAY IN SHIPPING
Loss Of Celery and Lettuce While In
Transit Can Be Avoided by
Careful Handling.

Careful handling and the preceding
Of lettuce and celery before making

losses that are often sustained while
[ these perishables are in transit. This
Information, which specialists Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture gathered in recent investigation
conducted in Florida, should be Of in.

ticularly to growers and shippers Of
celery and lettuce in the Gulf states.
Decay in lettuce in transit is due
largely to "lettuce Drop" the special.

eased leaves before shipment and pre-
cooling the lettuce in cars at the ship.

40 degrees f.. enables the lettuce to
reach its destination in almost perfect
condition and to hold up much better
on the market than lettuce handled in
the usual way.
Preceded celery, with initial icing

market in uniformly fresh condition,
with the leaves on the top tier near.
ly as green as those on the bottom.
Celery that was not preceded shipped
under standard or full refrigeration
showed very yellow leaves on the top
tier, which greatly discounted the
value of the entire shipment. The
cost Of preceding and Of the first
icing Of a car Of celery was less than
the usual charge for full refrigeration.
Celery often is injured in transit, the
specialists say, because with tight
loads it is impossible to secure suffi-
cient free air circulation and rapid
cooling. Smaller crates properly
spaced and braced with provision Of
floor racks to facilitate air circulation
would help to insure more uniform
and rapid cooling.

come into extensive use for the home
orchard or fruit garden. With good
barrel pump considerable spraying may
be done In satisfactory manner. The
working parts Of the pump should be
of bronze, brass, or other noncorrosive
material, and the valves and plung-
ers should be readily accessible, and
easily repaired. The pump should be
provided with an efficient agitator,
either Of the paddle or rotary type. To
insure good pressure and uniform
discharge of the spray material the
pump should be provided with an ade-
quate air chamber, to which a press.
ure gauge may be attached If desired.
The pump may be mounted either on
the head or side of the barrel, and the
whole outfit placed on skids or on
wagon. On billy land it is preferable
to have the barrel in q horizontal po-
sition.
Double-Aetion Hand Pumps.
The double-action hand pumps usu-
ally are employed in connection with
spray tanks Of greater capacity than
a barrel, as the $50 or 4OO-gallon half
round tank used in place Of the wagon
bed. The pump, which may be either
vertical or horizontal, Is fastened to q
small platform, and placed on top Of
the tank or on platform at the hind
end Of the wagon. A suction hose ex-
tends into the spray tank. A barrel
or 1OO-gallon hogshead may be used,
however, and placed at one end OF
the wagon bed or platform, thus leav-
ing plenty of room for the pump and
operator. When properly used these
double-acting, double-cylinder pumps
furnish adequate pressure for two leads
of hose, and for single or double noZ-
zles. They furnish an outfit interme-
diate in cost and capacity between
the barrel pump and the gasoline or
other power sprayer. A common de-
feet is lack of adequate facilities for
agitation, although tanks are available
in which this deficiency is corrected
| to some extent.

! Candidates for the long term
U. S.. senate, Messrs Dial and
Rice, and those for the short
term, Pollock and Bennett, will
speak in Lexington next Tues
day, August 9Th, on the court
house square.
MIR. Blease, who is also a cam
{ didate for the long term, has an
nounced positively that he will
not be in Lexington on the above
named date.
In addition to the senatorial
candidates, the four candidates
for congress from the seventh
district t-Messrs Zimmerman, Le-
yer, Brantley, and Mcleod will
be present and lay their claims
before the Ipeople of Lexington
county. ..<.
No doubt the congressional
race will attract more attention
in this county than the senate
rial race inasmuch as two of the
candidates, Zimmerman and Le-
yer. are both from Lexington
and have strong supporters in all
sections of the county. The con-
gressional race in this district
has attracted more attention this
year than it has at any previous
time during the past 20 years.
All four of the candidates are
good speakers and present their
claims in a torceful and attrac-
tive manner, indulging in thrusts
and witicisms that are interest
ing. Messrs Mcleod, Thinner
man, and Brantley devote most
of their time to al attack on Le-
yer with reference to his en-
trance and withdrawal from the
race for the United States senate.
This will be the first time the
people of Lexington will have an
opportunity Of hearing the con-
gressional party and it is expect
ed a large crowd will attend the
meeting Tuesday.
