POPULARITY OF BLUE GRASS
Kentucky Soldiers, on Return March
From Battle Of Tippecanoe, Gath
cred Seed in Indiana.

The tradition that the Kentucky SOL
diers who fought at Tippecanoe took
back with them the seed that has made
blue grass famous in central Ken
lucky. has never been questioned or
seemed TO require authentic proof, de-
clareS a writer. Mrs. lowering says,
in her Authentic Indiana"
"It was on the return march from
the battle of Tippecanoe that the sol
dieTs from Kentucky gathered the seed
of the blue grass which they found
growing in Indiana, and carried it
home with them, thinking it was a SUI
periOr variety because it satisfied the
hunger of their horses so well that
they would not eat corn. 1t fiourished
so well on the limestone soil Of central
Kentucky that it made that state ia
NOUS" This statement was based on
information obtained from early set
tiers of Indiana. Kentucky was not
known as the blue grass state until
many years after the battle of Tippe-
canoe.
AS long as slavery existed, Ken
lucky, lying south OF the ONO river
was classed as a Southern state. 1t
was classed as Il central West
ern or middle Western state along
with Ohio and Indiana. In the census
report of 1910, Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin were claSsed
as East North Central states" and
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi as East South Central
states"
When Indiana was admitted to the
Union. in 1916, it consisted of Is coun-
ties, VIZ: Wayne, Franklin, Dearborn,
Switzerland. jefferson, Clark. Wash
ington, Harrison, Knox, Gibson, Posey,
Warrick and Perry. In the subsequent
creation of 20 counties u of these,
making 90, the boundaries of the orig
inal - counties underwent material
changes.

SOME SOIL TOBACCO SICK"

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Because some soils in the Connect
cut valley have become tobacco sick"
which has resulted in heavy losses to
tobacco growers. particularly where ar
tificial shades are used for growing
wrapper leaf, specialists of the United
States department of agriculture ave
been at work developing disease-resist-
ant varieties.
1t has also been shown that the use
of fertilizer or acid reaction will ma
terially reduce the injury caused by
the disease. Proper rotation wher-
ever practicable also appears to be
an effective remedy. In Maryland,
where a similar or identical disease is
giving much trouble, the native vari-
cites which are susceptible have been
crossed with foreign resistant strains,
with a view to obtaining resistant
types adapted to local requirements.
In Wisconsin and in the Burley sec
ton of Kentucky progress has been
made in the control of tobacco root rot
through the development of resistant
varieties. The disease causes heavy
damage in these regions every year
and ordinary Burnley tobacco is esp"-
cially susceptible. In fields where the
native Burleys have failed completely.
some of the resistant strains have
given surprisingly good results.

REDUCE DECAY IN SHIPPING
Loss of Celery and Lettuce While in
Transit Can Be Avoided by
Careful Handling.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Careful handling and the preceding
of lettuce and celery before making
shipments will greatly reduce the
losses that are often sustained while
these perishables are in transit. This
information, which specialists of the
United States department of agricul-
ture gathered in a recent investigation
conducted in Florida, should be of in
terest to all truck growers. but par
ticularly to growers and shippers of
celery and lettuce in the Gulf states.
Decay in lettuce in transit is due
largely to lettuce drop" the special
lists found. a disease which appears to
enter the head mainly through the low
err leaves. Carefully removing the dis
eaSed leaves before shipment and pre-
cooling the lettuce in cars at the ship
ping point to Il temperature of about
40 degrees F., enables the lettuce to
reach its destination in almost perfect
condition and to hold up much better
on the market than lettuce handled in
the usual way.
Preceded celery, with initial icing
only. the tests showed. arrived on the
market in a uniformly fresh condition,
with the leaves on the top tier near
ly as green as those on the bottom.
Celery hat was not preceded shipped
under standard or full refrigeration
showed very yellow leaves on the top
tier, which greatly discounted the
value Of the entire shipment. The
cost of preceding and of the first
icing of a car of celery was less than
the usual charge for full refrigeration.
Celery often is injured in transit, the
specialists say, because with tight
loads it is impossible to secure suffi-
cient free air circulation and rapid
cooling. Smaller crates properly
spaced and braced with provision of
floor racks. to facilitate air circulation
would help to insure more uniform
and rapid cooling.

For spraying Il few plants or very
small trees hand atomizers may be
used. These are made of brass, cop
per, heavy tin, or other material, and
usually have a capacity of one quart.
Bucket Pumps.
Bucket pumps are fairly convenient
and satisfactory for spraying small
gardens and shrubs or small trees.
They should be of brass or other non
corrosive metal and preferably should
be equipped with an agitator. In some
pumps agitation is provided by means
of a small jet of the liquid which
squirts from the bottom Of the pump
into the liquid as the pump is oper-
ated. For convenience in spraying,
these pumps may be clamped to the
bucket. or used free in q tub or other
vessel containing the spray material.
They should be supplied with a spray
rod. and sufficient hose to spray con-
veniently the plants to be treated.
Knapsack Pumps.
A knapsack pump may be used for
small spraying operations. These
pumps have a capacity of about four
gallons and are provided with an air
chamber to insure pressure and a
steady spray. They are carried On the
back of the operator and pumped by
n hand, while the other is used to
hold the spray rod.
Small Compassionate Pumps.
Compressed air pumps are frequent
ly used in small fruit gardens. and are
preferred to the bucket or knapsack
pumps by those who do not wish to
pump while applying the spray. These
pumps are usually made of brass or
galvanized sheet steel and have a ca

are carried by means of a shoulder

either of the paddle or rotary type. To
insure a good pressure and uniform
discharge of the spray material the
pump should be provided with an ade-
quate air chamber, to which a press
ure gauge may be attached if desired.
The pump may be mounted either on
the head or side Of the barrel, and the
whole outfit placed on skids or on a
wagon. On billy land it is preferable
to have the barrel in a horizontal pO-
sitiOn.
DoubIe-Action Hand Pumps.
The double-action hand pumps usu.
ally are employed in connection with
spray tanks of greater capacity than
a barrel, as the 80 or 400-gallon half
round tank used in place of the wagon
bed. The pump, which may be either
vertical or horizontal, is fastened to a
small platform, and placed IN top of
the tank or on a platform at the hind
end of the wagon. A suction hose e
tends into the spray tank. A barrel
or 100-gallon hogshead may be used,
however, and placed at one end of
the wagon bed or platform, thus leav-
ing plenty of room for the pump and
operator. When properly used these
dorble-acting, d~ouble-cylinder pumps
furnish adequate pressure for two leads
of hose. and for single or double nOZ-
zles. They furnish an outfit interme-
diate in cost and capacity between
the barrel pump and the gasoline or
other power sprayer. A common de-
feet is lack of adequate facilities for
agitation, although tanks are available
in which this deficiency is corrected
to some extent.
