MAKE WAR ON ONION MALADY
Strong Efforts Going On to Stamp Out
Disease That Is Known
as Neckrot.

To combat neckrot-a destructive
storage rot of onions-in various local
tiles of the United States, the United
States department of agriculture next
season is to assist growers in testing
a method OF controlling the disease
with the hope of putting the method
on a practicable basis for CONNER
cial use. Specialists Of the depart
ment will be assigned TO the districts
In the installation and equipment of
necessary structures.
The districts known to be infected
include the principal on~ion-growing
centers in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, Indiana, Delaware, Wisconsin
and Oregon. The disease occurs in
other states also. Losses of from %
per cent to rs per cent in white onion
sets have been recorded in the vicinity
of Chicago and in northern Indiana.
Red and yellow onions are not at
tackled as seriously as the white vari-
ETY..
The disease known as neckrot is
caused by a fungus. The parasite en-
tiers the wounded neck of the bulbs at
harvest time and gradually rots the
scales until they become dried up and
worthless. OF the control measures
that have been tried, artificial drying
of the onion sets in crates just after
harvest has given the best results. The
object of this method is to cure the
necks as soon as possible, and thus
check the fungus before it enters the
flesh scales. In various lots treated
recently the rot was reduced from IA
per cen to 1 per cent; from AZ per
cent to 7 per cent; from 53 per
cent to Z per cent, and from 90 per
cent to 10 per cent.

"There's nothing like r%eprisals,"
said a recruiting officer. "a tobacco
mist sent a doctor the other day a $40
box of cigars, saying he knew they
hadn't been ordered, but they were so
excellent he was sure the doctor would
enjoy them. Bill inclosed. Terms
strictly cash.

"Delighted with the cigars. Though
it is true you haven't called me in, ]
venture to send you herewith two pre-
scriptions for rheumatism and dyspep-
STA, respectively, that l am sure you
will like, as they have given universal
satisfaction to my patients. My charges
being So for prescription, we are now

carried on in Wisconsin, Lincoln was
with Early's company of rangers In
General Atkinson's command. On June
80. 1899, this company crossed the ter
.itorial line into Wisconsin and camped
on the bank of the Rock river, about q
mile above the Turtle village of the
Winnebago Indians, and which is the
site of the present city of Beloit. The
company was often alarmed by the
rumors Of Indians ahead, but had no
actual engagements. They marched
north and on July list camped at
Storr's lake, a short distance east of
where the village of Milton now
Glands. Striking the main trail of
Black Hawks army they followed it
in a %northerly dire ction toward Lake
Koshkonong. They reconnoitered here
out finding no fresh evidence they fol-
lowed the trail up Rock river to a
spot not far from where the city of
Fort Atkinson is now situated. The
country at that time was a wilder
ness, and this army of General At
kinson's had to fairly cut its way
through the u~nderbrush, tall trees and
nearly two thousand regulars. He built
a fort on the river bank near its juno
ton with Bark river, and his army re-
manned here q part of the month of
July, accommodating and following up
trails of the Indians through the
Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1918-02-08

swamps and woods. Lincoln, a mem
Der of Early's company of rangers,
took an active part in all the maneu-
vers, and when word was brought ON
the Sth of July by some Winnebago
Indians that Black Hawk was hiding
In the swamp on an island in Lake
Koshkonong, five miles down the river,
to reconnoiter. They crossed the river
on RATS to the island, Lincoln among
them, but the willy Hawk had flown.
This happened on the 9th of July.
They returned up the river to the main
command, and on the 10th of July Lin
coin vas mustered out of service. The
next day he started out with his CON-
panions for his home in Illinois. That
night his own horse and that of one
of his comrades was stolen, and the
rest of the distance was made on foot.
Lincoln was very fond of talking in
later life Of his experiences in the
Black Hawk war. On one occasion,
in the fall of 1859, he was making
speeches in Wisconsin. After speak
ing at Beloit he was conveyed by car
riage to GAINESVILLE. They traversed
the same route as that taken by the
army in the Black Hawk war twenty
eve years before. Lincoln recog-
nized it and talked freely about the
events of that time, telling In his hui
morous way Of the difficulties ncoun
tered in his journey home after his
horse was stolen.
Gradually, however, in the three quar-
tiers of a century and more that have
passed since the time when Lincoln
and his comrades camped In the will
derness, the stockade posts rotted
away until there was nothing to show
where the fort had stood. Then the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of Fort Atkinson took the matter in
hand and placed a memorial to mark
the spot. 1t is a massive boulder of
native stone with a tablet of Massa-
chusetts granite upon which this in
scription is engraved: "Near this SPOT
in 1882 in the Black Hawk war, Gen.
Henry Atkinson erected a stockade
fort. To mark this historic ground the
Daughters of the American Reyolu-
ton of Fort Atkinson erect this me-
mortal"

fear and CONSERVATION than any other
In the history of our country.
When the story of the battle at Still
mans Run, where a small band Of saw
ages put to flight a whole regiment of
soldiers, and also that of the massacre
at the Davis farm, where fifteen wom-
en- and children where murdered, was
spread through the country there was
scarcely a farmhouse all through the
middle West that was not deserted.
Both of the places mentioned were In
northern Illinois and soon stockade
forts were thrown up and there the
people hocked for protection from the
vast horde of savages that they be-
Iieved to be on their trail.
Governor Reynolds of Illinois on
April 16, 1882, issued a proclamation
for volunteers to organize against the
savages, and Lincoln, then twenty
three years of age and living at New
Salem, Sangamon county, Illinois, was
one of the first to respond. The COM
pany was allowed to choose its w
captain and much to his joy Lincoln
received the largest number OF votes.
Of this incident he spoke in later years
as follows; "Then came the Black
Hawk war and / was elected captain
Of volunteers, q success which gave me
more pleasure than 1 have had SINCE"
In those early days Lincoln showed
that same observance to justice and
the rights of others which character
lied his later years, In evidence of
which may be noted the incident Of the
Indians coming to General Cass with
a letter recommending him for his
services to the whites. Some OF the
men in the company wished him shot
as a spy, but Lincoln promptly inter-
fered, saying that this p~eaceable In
dian should not be killed. There Is no
record to show but what his judgment
was correct and his leniency well adj
yised.
One of the most interesting facts in
Lincoln's history at this time, and
which shows what queer FRANKS fate
can play, is this: Gen. Winfield Scott,
then In command at Fort Smelling,
sent two young li%eutenants to muster
In the Illinois volunteers. In the LAM
guage of a memoir of the times, n of
these ~lieutenants was "a very fasci-
mating young man of easy manners and
affable disposition, while the other was
equally pleasant and extremely mod
est. It is further stated hat "a tall,
homely young man dressed In blue
jeans" presented himself to the lieu
tenants as captain of a company of
volunteers and was duly worn in.
The one who administered the oath
of allegiance to the "young man In
blue jeans" was the lieutenant of the
fascinating above mentioned.
This was Jefferson Davis. The young
man In blue jeans was Abraham Lin
coin, and the other young lieutenant
of "the extremely modest" demeanor
was Robert Anderson, commander of
Fort Sumter at the beginning of the
Civil war. And no ~premonition told
them. as they stood together on that
pleasant spring morning, Of the imror-
tant parts they were each to play In
that great drama of blood.
In that part Of the war that was

Effective Shells.

Controversy has long ragged regard
ing the actual man-killing power Of the
big guns. 1t has been declared that
$4,000 worth of big shells must be
fired to kill one of the enemy. Per-
haps it is true that an enormous
amount Of steel must be hurled by the
big guns to insure fatalities. Yet the
actual number of men killed IN all
sides by artillery fire probably runs in
70 the millions.
