will deliver an address to the
farmers, on fertilizers, at the High
School of Sylvia Saturday 9th at
1890.
The wheat crop as a whole is
heavy, but many farmers have been
disappointed because their wheat is
not we'll filled. 1t seems that there
are at least two reasons for this
failure for wheat to fill we'll.
In the TT place. much of the
wheat was seeded the last of Octo-
Der anG tAa first of November. In
order to get the best results wheat
should be sown on firm sod bed
between September Is and October
10, or better guide still is as soon
as possible after t.le first killing
frost. The first killing frost kills
the HessiaA 1y.
The wheat seeded late fails to get
good stort before cold weather
and consequently is more suscepti-
BILE to fungous diseases. The least
thrifty plants are more likely to
show the results of the fuugous at
tack.
D"ring the past two weeks the
Co. Agent has discovered diseased
condition of kluch of the wheat of
the county, brought about by the
presence of two differ mt fungi which
are parasitic. One tf ne fungi is
wheat scaD, the otl er is floret ster-
ility.
The wheat crop of Jackson Co
has been cut at least 80 per cent
this year by these two fungi. The
farmers of the county have lost
many thousand bushels of whea,
this year because of the presence OF
these fungi. AS pointed out these
wheat diseases are quite wide spread
in the Co., consequently many more
thousand bushels of wheat will be
lost next year if concerted action is
not taken to check them by procur.
ing uncontaminated seed wheat fol
next fall from fields not infested
with the fungi.
The following letter from DR. Wolf
State Plant Patiloiogist corroborate
1.-The above:
There is. at present upon TIN
specimens of wheat which you sen;
, diseased con iition Brought abou
by the presence of two differen
fungi. Both of these are known to b
parasitic but neither one has beer
investigated to any considerabl
:. extent. One of the diseases
known as wheat scab and is cause
: by F'usarium and the other is calle
' foret sterility. caused by Stemphy
; lium tritici.
. The former of these diseases is a
; present being investigated by tn
q Office of Cereal Diseases at Wash
8 ington. Nothing has been foun
! out of significance other than tn
4 fact that those grains already Stun
ed harbor the scab fungus with
\ them, ard the planting of sue
# grains, therefore, will result in tn
3 production of a diseased crop neg
l. year. 1t is very probable that tn
v other organism winters over in tn
seed also. In any event, shout
: advise against planting the see
from fields where these diseases al

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There IS only one way to cure cat
arrhal deafness, and that is by a con-
stitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucuos lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube IS
inflameG you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases. Of
deafness are caused by cataIrh.
which is an inflamed condition. of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Med
icine acts thru the blood on the mur
cous surfaces of the system. 4s

INVITED
DIVER ATTACKS
IS CHARGED
Inaccurate Statements AS To
Conditions In United States
Brought About Submarine
Menace, Says Lewis

WASHINGTON, June (By Asso-
ciated Press.)-A sharp debate was
pTecipitated in the senate today when
attacks on the navy department for
permitting submarines to sink Amer.
ican ships off the Atlantic coast were
made before that body. Senator Lew.
is OF Illinois charged that the senators
invited the U.Boat raid by making in
acurate statements relative to condi.
tions in the United States, and con.
cluded his remarks by naming certain
Of these statements. Bra ldegee OF
Connecticut read editorials from re.
plying newspapers which attacked the
navy department for not warning mar.
liners of the presence Of the -adersaa
boats, and asking the whereabouts of
destroyers and submarine chasers,
which the navy has been getting ready
TO repel the diver attacks.

ROTATING GARDEN
CROPS NECESSARY

In many localities il has been diff
cult to grow early radishes that are
free from the small worms that bore
their way into the flesh of the tender
radishes. making them unfit for sale
or use. 1t has been found that when
the soil in which the radishes are
grown has been salted during the win
ter months, the worms are not much
in evidence during the following
spring and summer. Half gallon of
salt to space ten feet square is
enough.
During hot summer months lettuce
should be shaded at midday.
Lettuce may be started in seed.
bed and grown there until a space Is
made vacant in the garden by the ma.
turing and removal Of other vegeta-
bles.
1t IL not advisable to have a second
planting of the same crop or a close.
ly related crop follow the first. Cab
bagc should not follow cauliflower,
brussels sprouts, mustard or kale, for
many OF the same diseases and in.
sects affect all these crops. Tomatoes,
egg plants and peppers should not fol.
low each other.
Celery may follow lettuce, radishes,
parsnips or onions. Fall cabbage may
follow peas; late potatoes may fol.
low early cabbage, cauliflower and
early potatoes may be followed by tur.
nips. late peas and late beans.
Spinach may be sown the latter part
OF July for fall use. Soil in which
spinach is grown cannot be too richly
manured. Spinach thriyes on plenty
of fertilizer and moisture. II natures
in about seventy days. and can follow
almost any crop in tho garden and
can be sown between rows of late
crops which are nearing the maturity
stage, or will before the spinach is up.
