RED CROSS ENTERTAINMENT
ON CLEAR FORK.
(By ii. NJ. Smytnc.)

Last Saturday at the Chestnut
Grove church, near Shawvcrs Mill
the whole country side gathered 10
witness with delight the rendition Of
a program Of universal merit, pnrtic-
ipated in by forty or fifty of the boys
and girls, aided, drilled and directed
bv some grown up ladies-Mrs. Kidd
Mrs. Myrtle Belcher, Mrs. josie Peery
and others.
An old field school, with young Mr..
Leffel as pedagoge afforded no end
of fun with quaint and to what they
consideredi evidently, impertinent
questions, their garb of hnlf cen
tury ago, when the breechcs didn't
always hide the shirts extremities
and before they had learned 10 spin
words of many syllables. Later or
some little girls. more careful of theii
Tits, brought rounds Of applause in
an intricate and beautiful drill
There were recitations, one by Mrs
Pccry in the high pitched voice Of q
ncighborhood critic, overturcs, plain
speeches, and quotations. All these
were interspersed with songs, one n
duet.
There were other features, and one
of very marked merit was drill OF
a dozen young society buds who
kept perfect time to the music.
You blessed Red Cross women OF
Tazewcll will be glad that the gate
receipts will make an appreciable ad
dition to great fund.

LARGEST NUMBER
in IT'S HISTORY
Tazewell High School Has More
Pupils Than Ever Before, Due
to Compulsory Educational
Law Recently Passed.

Prof. Bobbitt, principal Of the High
School, reports that tie enrolment
on The opening day, was 1856 pupils,
n'i told. This is the largest enrolment
III the history of the school, so far
: us the records show.
The statistics from the schools are
not available at this writing. The reu-
sonable presumption is that the coun-
try schools and other High Schools
in the country opened equally well.
Also, this is the first opening of the
schools under the compulsory school
law which compels attendance of all
children of school age.
Putting these two fncts alongside,
the bene!icnt results of the compulso
riy law in The very beginning seem to
be clearly shown so far. There seems
TO be no other way Of accounting for
this increased attendance here. The
natural increase in the school popu-
l"tion III about offset by the number
or last years. students WHO will ut
tend outside schools and colleges this
year. So far rs can be stated now
the compulsory school provision alone
accounts for the increased attendance
in the beginn 'ng. What will bc the
effect on schools crowded to capnci-
ty heretofore, remains to be seen
Certain it is, that the school nuihori
ties Will be compelled TO enlarge the
school buildings and increase the fn-
cilities when the new law gets in full
force, sending large numbers Of chill
drne into the schpo!a.
This compulsory feature, if prop
cr.y and ut tho Hamo time, rigidiy
enforced, will soon wipe out the stand
ing STAN and shame Of illiterncy from
the records IF the country and moth

Pity this law had not been innu-
gurated years and years ago. There
should be, and no doubt will be, hearty
cooperation all the way around Ia tho
enforcement of the provision.

TREAT YOUR SEED WHEAT
FOR DISEASE.

Just at this time 1t is the patri.
! otto duty of the farmers to do every
thing possible to increase wheat pro.
ductlon. Our Government has asKeu
for 20 per cent Increased produc-
tion of wheat. The farmer who does
not do his best (not his bit, for such
talk is disgusting now to comply
with this request is just as much q
Stacker and dcserter as the man who
deserts the colors.
This increase can be made in two
ways: First by increased acreage
Let's plow up few old fields. Second
by increaging the yield per ..cre. We
may increase the yield by preparing
Il good, deep seed bed at the earliest
possible date, carefully selecting our
seed and treating it to prevent di-
sease, by using 800 to 500 lbs. ccid
phosphate, and by seeding carly
SHUTS and many other diseases of
wheat which reduce The national
yield by millions of bushels each
year can be entirely prevented by
treating the seed wheat In Tazewcll
County the loss of wheat this year
from diseose was per cent, and for
oats averaged between Is per cent
and 20 per cent most of all which
could have been prevented, at cost
of less than 5 cents per acre. The
wheat and oats to prevent smut and
disease is recommended by the State
Extension Office.
AS the seed is being shoveled from
one pile to another each shovel full
IS sprayed with solution of 40 per
cent formaldehyde, diluted with an
equal amount of water. One quart
of the solution will treat so bushels
of wheat. Used at this rate the seed
does not become wet A small quart
sprayer is convenient to use. After
the wheat is all treated it is piled in
heap and covered with cloth to
confine vapor At the end of five
hours it should be uncovered and
may then be planted. Since the for
maldehyde is irritating TO the eyes
the spray should be held close to the
pile and a circulation of cir provided.
No injury to the seed results from
the treatment, in fact, termination
is often quicker and more vigorous.
Caution: Do not keep the treated
wheat covered more than ten hours.
An ordinary quart sprayer which
will produce fine mist will be salts
factory, and the sprayer you use
for your tomatoes and potatoes will
likely do. The formaldehyde costs
only 40 cents per pint and may be
had at the drug store. hope that
every farmer In the County will
treat his seed wheat and cats this
year. The fact that you did not have
diseases this year is no sign you will
not have them next year.

County Agent.
