SOLDIER WHO WAS NEAR DEATH
TELLS OF HER0ISM OF RED

Private A. C. Mcleod, the first
American soldier 10 be wounded in
France, was hurt when the Germans
bombed Red Cross hospital. He
owes his life, he believes, TO the
Red Cross nurse who stuck by him
in the shattered ward, and saw that
he had prompt surgical attention.
Two Of the nurses were wounded
by the same bomb that hurt Mr..
Mcleod, but the rest of the women,
IL was stated, were as cool as the
men. Here is his own story in
which IL will be noticed the Red
Cross nurse is given the principal
place:

TO MEMBERS OF AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS GROWING POTATOES

Insect pests, plant diseases and
weeds are the farmers worst
enemies and cause tremendous losses
every year to farm crops. IL has
been estimated by U. S. Department
Of Agriculture experts, that insects
Of various sorts destroy 20@o or
cne-nfth of our vegetable crops.
The loss in the United States by in
scots to this class Of crops alone is
estimated at approximately s60,OW'-
600 annually. Protect yourself from
serious losses by combating these
pests as soon as they appear.
Keep a sharp look out for potato
bugs Colorado Potato Beetle as
they are the worst enemy OF the
potato plant. Get after the first
bugs that come out in the spring.
as these lay the eggs that soon hatch
out into a great number of hungry
young bugs which soon strip the
plant. if not checked. There are
usually two broods Of potato bugs
in a season: one early in the sum
mer. the other about five weeks
later than the first. II the first
brood is largely destroyed, there will
not be much trouble with the sec
ond brood.
As potato bugs eat the leaves Of
the plant, we can kill them easily
by putting poison on the leaves. Any

TO WHEAT GROWERS OF SOUTH
ERIN MADISON COUNTY

There will be a wheat growers
meeting at Berea, July "a, afternoon
at 200 o'clock, in the College voca-
tional Chapel. Every man who is
growing wheat, or expects to grow
wheat or can he interested in grow
ing wheat is asked TO come to this
meeting.
There will be wheat specialists
70 discuss this problem with wheat
growers. We are very anxious that
every farmer of Southern Madison
be present at this meeting. Our
campaign opens August 1 for our
1919 crops.

Where potato blight is common

Dissolve the copper sulphate by
placing in a cloth sack and suspend

water in barrel or other receptacle.
Slack the quicklime with water and
add more water until il is about the
consistency Of cream and free from
humps. Mix the copper sulphate and
the lime solution and add water TO
the required amount. Bordeaux
mixture should be freshly mixed
each time, as il deteriOrates stand
ing. However, one may keep a STOCK
solution of the copper sulphate and
of the lime in separate receptacles
to be mixed when needed.
Bordeaux Mixture may be used
first when the plants are about
six inches high, then every two
weeks. applying three or four APP
plications during the season. The
paris green or arsenate Of lead may
be added TO the Bordeaux Mixture
in the same proportion as when
water is used and both applied at
he same time.
Experience has shown that spray
ing with Bordeaux Mixture gives an
increase in the yield Of potatoes,
even though the plants are not
troubled with potato blight. II is
4 good policy, therefore. to use
Bordeaux Mixture on potatoes when
ever possible. II pays at harvest
lime and safeguards the crop against
disease.
Do your best with your crop, as
we are looking forward TO good
report from you this fall.
Yours very truly,

A RED PHILOSOPHER

A rather lengthy article appeared
in recent issue Of the Mt Vernon
Signal. and it outlines in humorous
fashion, some Of the pet theories
oi our good friend, Bob. Spence.
We are constrained 10 reprint II
i'm part for the consideration Of our
readers:
Down in Eastern Kentucky, they
have got young man Of red blood
who sees red as the color best adapt
ed for men. women, animals, corn.
etc. This red philosophy comes TO
him by comparisons. confirmed thru
experience and concensus Of opinion
that il has become a doctrine and
counterpart of his instruction, for
the guidance and safety. in those
initial efforts toward progressive
farming, breeding, etc. His pre-
objection for the red dominates
his talks and he proves the varieties
thereof by observation. examples,
etc. so that out of an army of con-
Verts, there is a battalion known
as the Red Battalion'-from the
Daniel Boone Trail leading 10 and
from Berea.
Our Bob is the real colonel lred
kernel, of these reds. I'm some OF
the mountain communities, he is
spotted as "R. !. Red" for his ad-
vocacy Of the Rhode Island Reds,
as the hen for productivity in the
egg line at all times.
Then again as Red Cattle Bob
his fondness for red cows and bulls
6s best yielders in calves. milk and
cream fastens that title to him too.
Red Hog Bob falls from the lips
of many. He is ardent in his at
tachment for the red hogs Durocsj

Ia bring forward a breed Of sheep

black now, why not red? He's de-
vout to his purpose and positive too,
for the result.
Red wool growing on a Sleeps
back is something to look for-will
it be the next surprise?
The Red Battalion will give him
another title Of Red sheep Bob"
when he goes among them. II his
object is attained.
He shines pre-eminently as a

tural Department and a successful
