flNFlf TOWN
HELPS
Community LIFE IS BEST
Under That System Every Citizen Has
an Equal Interest In His
Own Home Town.

Community life is the ideal life.
People have more time to spend in
and about their homes and as q re-
suit take greater interest in the de-
velopment Of their immediate neigh
borhood. They are more congenial and
neighborly; they take greater pride
In keeping their homes and yards in
good condition; they are contented,
more progressive and incidentally
more prosperous; their children are
raised and educated in the proper
moral environment; they associate
with good companions and grow up to
be sound, healthy, clear-thinking men
and women of the type that make the
best citizens.
Much more could be said Of the
community proposition, but I believe
have said sufficient to prove beyond
a doubt that the development of COM
munities on a broad, systematic basis
will have a tendency to increase the
number Of home lovers and home
owners.
Real estate companies should avoid
as much as possible the placing Of a
mere allotment on the market. It
takes considerable time, trouble and
money to work on the community plan,
but the results achieved make the ex-
ira effort and expense well worth
while.-Exchange.

can be kept down-and so the garden
kept up-without burdensome effort.
Never let the weeds grow tall. Kill
them with some kind of cultivating
tool when they are little, or, still bet
ter, by stirring the ground from time
to time before they appear at all; for
you may be sure that If the ground is
not stirred frequently they will appear.
Do not let the pests get start. It is
safe to use the arscnical sprays on late
cabbages, cauliflowers and tomatoes.
No part of the late cabbages thus far
grown will be eaten, and furthermore,
they develop from the inside so
that even If arsenic is used on them
late, the edible portion is protected by
the coarse outer leaves. Cauliflower
may be so sprayed until the curd be-
gins to form. Anything that is peeled
may be sprayed. Tomatoes may either
be peeled or washed and thus freed
from any dangerous effects.

In a statement just issued by the

action Of the state and federal agents

food conservation measure which will
also contribute very materially to the
prosperity of the state.
Benefit Of Eradication.
The benefit to be derived from Grad
icating the tick is shown by the i'm
proved conditions after quarantine has
been lifted. Restrictions on shipments
of cattle have been removed, the loss
from tick fever has been eliminated.
more cattle are being raised, and q
better grade of breeding stock is be-
ing introduced. Calves grow faster,
cattle put on flesh more rapidly dur
ing the grazing season and go into the
winter in better condition because of
the absence of the tick. Dairy cows
give a greater yield Of milk, and the
values of farm land are enhanced. In
appearance the cattle show a marked
contrast since the tick has been Grad
icated. Pure-Bfed cattle have been
brought in from other sections to i'm
prove the native breed without any
loss from fever. The Southern ami
mails can enter the show ring of the
North without restrictions.
Result in Mississippi.
In Mississippi, the first Southern
state to have all its territory removed
from quarantine, which opened
wedge to the gulf. the statewide eradi-
cation law, passed in 1916, is regard
ed by many as one Of the most pro-
gressive pieces of legislation enacted
in the state for many years. The Mis-
sissippi commissioner "f agriculture
says that if the necessity for such
law had been realized four years prior
to its passage, Mississippi would no
doubt be the greatest cattle-producing
state in the Union at the present time.
The people who were responsible for
getting this law on the statute books
foresaw the possibilities for the per-
manent development Of NIiSSiSSippi's
resources and turning into profit the
abundance of pasture grass which had
annually gone to waste or was eaten
by unthrifty cattle to make blood to
feed ticks.
Work in Louisiana.
Louisiana passed a statewide tick
eradication law in 1917. and ut the
time it was under consideration plant
ers, cattlemen and others throughout
the state hastily sent to their various
lawmakers flood of kilograms urg-
ing them to support the measure. This
statewide law did not become effec-
tive until the first of last April. Rec
ords show that during March 25O,OOO
clippings were made under state or
federal supervision, while in April the
figures leaped to 100000 and in
creased to over 100000 during each
of the following two months. Louis
lana demonstrated that a state cannot
afford to wait on q few uniformed
stockmen who are opposed to dipping
cattle and who have failed to advise
themselves of the benefits to be de-
rived from complete eradication.
The entire South is looking forward
with confidence to an era Of great
prosperity in the cattle industry as
the net gradually closes around the
last cattle tick.

ment Of Agriculture.)
European foulbroOd-a disease of
the brood of bees which has caused
great losses to American beekeepers-
is often confused with American foul
brood, though it is q distinct disease
and requires different methods Of
treatment. That beekeepers may be-
come familiar with the symptoms and
measures for control of European foul
brood, the United States department
of agriculture has just published
farmers bulletin 975, 1.-The Control Of
European Foulbrood." When strong
colonies headed by vigorous queens Of
resistant stock are present, this malady
will usually make little, If any, head
way, according to the bulletin. If the
disease appears because of an absence
of some of these precautions certain
remedial measures described in the
bulletin, should be put into practice.
Symptoms of European foulbrood
are variable, color being perhaps the
most constant symptom. The earliest
indications of the disease are q slight
yellow or gray discoloration, and the
uneasy movement Of the larva in the
cell. AS the decay Of the infected cells
proceeds the color changes to a decided
yellow or gray. A symptom Of the
greatest importance is the fact that
the disease attacks drone and queen
larvae nearly as quickly as those Of
the workers. The disease is very in
fictitious Mt times, but it weakens
rather than kills the colonies. If the
colony is strong it can usually with.
