The $40 month which the Chinese
coolie with his family drew from the
Chinese government during his period
of enlistment in the army is the basis
for the labor disturbance which is
rocking China at the present time,
says c. G. Thompson of Shanghai in
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Mr..
Thompson explains that prior to the
war the average coolie made month
ly wage Of $12 to $15, while having
become ACCUSTOMED to the new stand
ards of living made possible by th,
$40 allotment he declines now to re-
turn to the old basis. Even household
domestics have become affected by
the new unrest and are demanding
more money, he says. Recently be-
cause Of the unsettled conditions there
was a strike of dockworkers in Chi
nese ports which held up all trans
Pacific traffic for considerable time,

ILL LUCK FOLLOWED BOONE
Greatest of All Americas Pioneers of
Civilization Never a Favorite
of Fortune.

With Kentucky won, Daniel Boone
found that, by one of the twists Of
law, the plot of ground he thought was
his was not his at all. Almost like o
penniless outcast he moved to Vir-
ginia. but when fresh tales came to
him of land in the west of the Mis-
sissippi. then called Louisiana. his six
ty-one years did not deter him from
risking fresh start, relates Boys Life.
In 1895 he established himself near
the present city of ST. Louis and took
what he thought was q deed to land
bat in 1903. when this territory passed
from Spain to the United States, he
found this claim worthless. But now
the American people were awakened
TO a realization of what Boone's lead
ership in Kentucky had meant to the
nation. Congress granted him $50
acres Of land. There in the West, free
from want, he passed his last days.
Twenty-Five years after his death his
remains were brought back to Ken
tucky And In the land he gave to
civilization he sleeps, this man who
carried the torch of civilization among
a savage people and barred his chest
to the shock of battle that its flames
might not be extinguished.

PROPER STORAGE FOR ONIONS
Loose Skins, Dirt and Decayinu specl.
mems Should Be Removed-VentI.
latIon Important.

Before onions are put In storage or
on the market, they should be screened
ito remove loose skins, dirt and soft or
decaying specimens.
Onions in storage require plenty Of
ventilation. For this reason they must
be stored in small quantities where
there is cool temperature and dry
ness. The bulbs should be spread out
several inches deep on slat racks or
placed in crates. Because of the DIFF
fculty experienced In ventilating them
thoroughly, bags or bins are not so
satisfactory. In special storage houses
the temperature is kept as cool as pos
sible, safely above the freezing point.
Where onions are not used until spring,
they are sometimes allowed to freeze
hard and then covered with a heavy
layer of straw or hay to prevent them
from thawing until late winter or early
spring.-Pennsylvania State College.

PLANT HARDWOOD TREE SEED
Mulch Around Young Trees viii Fur
nlsh Ample Protection From Sc
we're Winter Weather.

In raising hardwoods from seeds,
species having soft, unprotected seeds,
such as elms and soft naples, should
be planted as soon as the seeds fall.
The hard, nutlike seeds from such
trees as oaks, hickories, walnuts, but
ternuts, should be gathered in the fall,
buried either In sand In the cellar or
in well-drained sandy soil outside, and
planted in the spring just as soon as
they are taken out Of the sand.
The seeds can be planted in garden
rows, spacing the seeds about six
inches apart, or with dibble the nuts
can be planted in specially prepared
spots where the trees are to remain.
Soft, delicate seeds, like the elm, how
ever, should be planted in the garden
and transplanted after they are two
years old.
, A mulch around the young trees will
furnish good protection for the win
ter.
Young trees should be trimmed from
the start, in order to give the best
growth and shape.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Investigations are in progress by the
United States department of agricul-
ture, in cooperation with number of
state experiment stations and individ-
ual farmers, to learn more about
wheat scab and methods of controlling
it.
No entirely satisfactory control of
this disease has been developed, be-
cause the scab fungi develop on so
many different kinds of grains and
grasses and on cornstalks, stubble,
straw and other trash. Two things,
however, are regarded as important.
First, the best wheat obtainable should
be used for seed. This should be thor
oughly cleaned and treated by the for
maldehyde method recommended for
the prevention Of smut. Second, this
wheat should be sown on thoroughly
plowed land-land where the old corn
stalks wheat stubble and grass straw
have been entirely plowed under. This
can be accomplished by use of drag
chain. All grass and straw should be
burned or otherwise removed from
hedges. fence rows, fence corners and
nearby waste places. These waste
places should be either plowed or
burned off.
Wheat Scab Takes Heavy Toll.
Winter wheat everywhere east of the
Great Plains was heavily infected with
scab this year. Spring wheat also suf-
fered greatly and many spring wheat
fields were left uncut, due chiefly to
the ravages of scab. The states suffer
ing the greatest losses of both spring
and winter wheat include Missouri,
Iowa, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wis
consin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virgin
la, West Virginia, North Carolina,
Kentucky and Tennessee.
This disease of wheat is caused by
several different fungi which attack
the crop at various stages of develop
ment. The seedlings are blighted, the
roots rotted and the plants weakened
| to such an extent that they are win
ter-killed. The heads are blighted, the
diseased parts die and prevent the for
nation of well-filled kernels. The head
| blight is the most evident and in most
cases causes the most damage. Wheat

into bloom, they should be clipped
early. A height Of four to six inches,
just before going into the winter, is
the most favorable condition.
The preparation of the land on
which red clover is to be seeded next
spring should be considered this fall.
In most perts of Iowa and Illinois, the
application of lime will benefit red
clover. On some lands 1t is absolutely
essential for a good stand. Lime is
best applied when the land is being
prepared for wheat. An application Of
two tons of fine-ground limestone is
commonly enough, although on badly
rundown land or on land known to
be very sour, three tons per acre may
be applied with profit. Glover also
needs phosphates, and 200 to $50
pounds per acre should be drilled in
with the wheat. Both wheat and
clover will benefit.
Red clover seed is likely to remain
high-priced for a year or two at least.
and farmers will find 1t profitable to
devote all the care necessary to pre-
pairing their land so as to give the
clover crop every possible chance.

A lovely pink rose described circle

He clutched it as it was headed for

farmer, then, not only loses from re-
duction in yield, but from lowering
of the grade as well.
Scab Fungus Attacks Corn.
OF those fungi known to cause scab
in wheat the most important one also
attacks corn. One of the ways 1t lives
over winter is on the decaying corn
stalks left on the ground In the fields.
Wheat Is often sown on the corn land
with these cornstalks left on the sur
face. The following season the fungus
spreads from the infected cornstalks
to the wheat heads and causes blight
ing.
In addition to wheat and corn, the
disease attacks rye, oats, barley and
many grasses. The scab fungi also
live over winter on the infected stub
BILE and decaying straw left on top of
the ground, and on infected grass
stems left around the edges of the
field. These fungi spread from this
material to the next seasons crop.
Prevent Winter Killing.
1t Is common practice In some sec
tions Of the winter wheat belt to
spread straw on the winter wheat af-
ter the ground is frozen, In order to
hold the snow. Clean straw from win
ter wheat spread on the fields late In
the winter, after the ground is frozen,
is not dangerous in spreading scab to
the next years crop. This straw holds
the snow and moisture and prevents
the plants from being broken by the
wind. When plowed under the next
summer it adds humus to the soil.
Turn the stock into the straw piles
from the badly diseased wheat and
spread the manure on the ground the
following year. Such straw should
never be spread on the fields, for 1t is,
sure to carry scab into next years
crop.
