sons crop are formed. Civilizations
should be frequent enough during the
remainder of the growing season to
keep down weeds, conserve moisture
and otherwise promote a strong Wig
orous vegetatiVc growth of plants.
While it is desirable to have the
plants form some new runners during
the summer. months, in the case of
old beds excessive runner formation
should be discouraged. Force the
plants to devote their energies to the
production of fruiting crowns and
fruit buds rather than dissipating
them through the production of many
new runners. This can be done by
frequent cultivation that maintains
rcther narrow rows of plants and fair
ly wide cultivated strips between the
rows. In case of small plantations
it may be profitable to go over the
bed two or three times and remove
the runners by hand. Weather condi-
tons have been 80 favorable for
growth this spring that many straw
berry beds that otherwise would be
plowed up can be fruited proftably
another year.

SUMNER TREATMENT OF
THE STRAWBERRY BED

Strawberry beds that are to be
fruited another year should have their
tops cut promptly after the fruiting
season, advises V. r. Gardner, of the
University of Missouri College of Ag-
riculturc. This may be done with a
scythe or in the case Of large planta-
tons with mower. Care should be
exercised not to cut so close to the
ground as to injure the crowns. At
ter the tops have dried few days the
bed should be burned over. The burn
ing gets rid of the old tops and most
of the mulching material and at the
same time destroys insects and fun
gus diseases. 1t is desirable to Sc
lcct a time for the burning when there
is fair breeze blowing so that the
fire will sweep over the bed rather
quickly and not have a chance to
smolducr and destroy the crowns.
Right after burning over, the bed
should be cultivated thoroughly. New
leaves will then develop quickly to
manufacture food materials out of
which the fruit buds for next sea-

FROM
SOMEWHERE IN TOWN
TO
SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY

Dear Susan:-
In he first place, my dear, ] shall
have to preach you little sermon
with the text, "Do not be discouraged
at small beginnings" You say you
were disappointed because only three
women came to the meeting you had
arranged for Miss Tucker, the Home
Demonstration Agent. Of course, it
would have been nice if the whole
neighborhood had turned out, but
since that was not the case, let me
tell you that if three women cannot
change the atmosphere of commune
ty, l don't think much of the women.
Of course, it is slow, slow work, but
if you will always bear in mind that
the spirit of neighborliness and open
mindedness is what you want to fos-
ter, steadily, patiently, unfiaggingly,
for years and years, perhaps, the re-
suits will not be lacking.
l have the most interesting parcel
to send you within a day or two! j
attended home convenience demon
stration given at the home of Mrs. T.
B. Chandler Of Unity, by Miss Jen-
sen of Columbia; and | got so many
helpful suggestions in the way of la
bor-saving devices that have bought
a number of things that you shall
have on your birthday. There is a
soap shaker, a little rubber scraper
for cleaning plates, a cooking spoon
that hooks onto the side of the pot
and never falls in; a pot litter that
grips pots and pans and will not let
go; a baking pan with round corners;
oh yes, and dust pan with a handle
just like the one Mrs. Alonzo Westo-
yer of Unity has. She says of all the
little household conveniences she has,
that is the most convenient.
By the way, Miss Jensen told us
that if you put quart of water, Ia
blespoonful of soda, and teaspoon of
salt into an aluminium vessel, put in
your furnished silver and bring it to
the boiling point, the silver will come
out uninjuled and bright as new.
Try it.
Lovingly your aunt,
JANE.

A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION

Suppose you were a director of a
big company that had suddenly be-
come bankrupt;
Suppose one of the important de-
partment heads Of that company had
been indicted for burglary and was
now awaiting trial;
Suppose certain holders of the COM
pany's securities, distrustful of the
way things had been run, had brought
a suit to determine whether the COM
pany's management had been capable
and honest;
Suppose a former employee Of the
company, appearing as a witness in
that suit, had told shocking story
about the brutal lawlessness of the
company, in which he accused the
president of the company of particle
pating in the criminal plans, hiring
thugs, doing out slush money, urging
what the I. w. WIS call "direct ac-
ton" and telling his subordinates to
make good in this or 'Hook for an
other job" =
Suppose this story had been told in
full particulars in the newspapers
Don't you think that, if you were a
director of that company, you would
have found time to read the papers?
And don't you think you'd have
some sort Of opinion about it, that,
like every other citizen, you'd be hor-
rified if it were true, and that the ac-
cusations demanded the fullest in
vestigation and, if proved, the stern

THE JOKER IN THE
COMPENSATION LAW,
ST. L,ouis. Mo. lime

St. Louis, Mo-, June "a, 1919
Dear Sir: The Building Trades
Council of st. Louis and Knasas City
representing 10000 men engaged in
hazardous occupations, assisted by
many other organizations, are circu-
lating petitions to refer the Compen-
sation Law passed by the last legis-
lature. This law was passed over the
protest of laboring men engaged in
hazardous occupations and we appeal
to the voters of your county, through
your good paper, for their help and
ask that they sign the petitions when
presented to them.
l will not ask for space to explain
the unjust provisions Of this bill, but
ask that the voters sign the petition
and we will explain this bill before
the general election.
In the Post-Dispatch of Friday, May
End, 1919, there appeared an editorial
under the headlines "Tricking the
Workmen." In this editorial we find
this language in speaking of the bill:
"The joker which nullifies OF i'm
pairs a good law has frequently bob
bed up in the history Of lobby legis-
lative trickery in Missouri legislation.
1t is favoritc device of the unscrup-
ulous agents of special interests and
the peapnut politicians who serve them
Never has there been a baser trick
than this, which nullifies all the hard
work that has been done to accom-
plish a good act of progressive legis-
lation and bitterly disappoints the
wage earners of the State. y v
"Of course, the trick is foolish and
futile. It's discovery is signal for
another bitter fight, the conclusion Of
which will be the worst for the spec
ial employers and the insurance com
panies, whose greasy handed agents
did the work. ."
hope the voters of the county will
help us save ourselves from this unfair
law by singing the petitions.
Sincerely yours,
MAURICE J. CASSIDY, Sec'y.

JULY FLOWING
BEST FOR WHEAT

Every wheat grower who is close
observer will recall that early plow-
ing produces better yield of wheat,
but how early does this mean? Re-
peated experiments show that it means
at least as early as the middle Of Ju-
ly, says r. r. Hudelson, of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture. In careful experiments July
blowing has yielded double the amount
of September blowing.
The reasons for this are the storage
of plant food and moisture in plowed
soil. Natural processes are constant
ly making plant food available, but if
weeds are growing in the stubble they
Immediately take up this food and
moisture needed for growth. They
give up this plant food when plowed
under but wheat cannot feed on weed
stems and the process of turning them
back into an available form is very
<slow. AS result, the young wheat is
preventing from getting well estab-
lished before winter sets in. Even the
occasional cultivation to keep weeds
out of early blowing helps by letting
air into the soil and Fastening the
process of making plant food avail
able.
Other advantages of early blowing
for wheat are the turning under of
all stubble and trash, together with
any insects harbored in them. Weeds
are prevented from seeding, too. 1t
also permits the wheat to be seeded
late enough to avoid Hessian fly and
still make a good rapid growth before
winter on account Of the stored up
food and quick growth.
The rush Of farm work makes ear
ly blowing very difficult, but it
should be realized that every day Of
delay reduces the yield of next years
wheat crop. The stacking Of wheat
will often help to get it out OF the
way for blowing and give time before
threshing.

|STENOGRAPHERS AND
TYPISTS WANTED

II st. Louis, Mo-, June IL, 1919-A let
ater and telegram received today from
the United States Civil Service Com
Emission in Washington, today, states !:
# "The stenographer and typist stu
alton in Washington is acute, and
sseems to grow worse instead of bet
ter. Some branches of the service are
till calling upon the Commission for
Notifications of large numbers of ell
jigibles; for example, the Bureau Of
War Risk Insurance has asked for
$50 stcnographers typists at $1,000
Ia year and 375 typisits at 81, 100 per
year, for immediate use. The need
for bookkeepers in also urgent.
I'll The Commission requests that you
do everything possible to obtain APP
#plicants for these examinations in
city and to impress upon the
#local boards in your district the i'm
%portance of recruiting for stenograph-
&ers, typists, and bookkeepers energet-
Ideally and constantly. Local boards
Hhave already been advised that steno-
grapher and typist examinations for
the Departmental Service will be an
nounced to be held in cities where they
are not held regularly on Tuesdays, if
there is prospect Of assembling class
of as many as five competitors. The
boards may, however, be reminded of
this and at the same time they should
be informed that bookkeeper examin-
atoms for the Departmental Service
may now be held in any city under the
same conditions. The request for the
announcement of a stenographer, ty-
pist or bookkeeper examination should
be sent by the local secretary to the
district secretary. 80
The civilian force in Washington at
this time numbers about 100000. In
such large force the turnover is ire

Kindly do what you can to give this
urgent need as wide publicity as pos
sible. Make it your business to i'm
mediately send your newspapers a
news item covering the important fea-

whenever possible call the attention
of this urgent need personally to stem

ARE YOU INTERESTED?

Have you recently heard the ques-
ton, What is this H. d. work, or Does
H. d. work pay, or perhaps Are the
women really interested in the H. D..
work? IL you could have spent last
week trailing Miss Anna c. Jensen,
Home Convenience Specialist from
the State College, and the H. D. A..
over st. Francois county you would
never again have any doubts.
Nine meetings were scheduled for
the five days; eight were held, the
weather and Wolf creek made one i'm
possible. At the eight meetings there
was total attendance of rs. No,
not large, but remember the busy
season and the distances the women
must go. Then, numbers was not the
thing most to be desired. 1t was in
terest. The fact that women brought
their small children, walked long dis
tances, sometimes in the hot sun car
rying a child, sometimes at night ov-
err stumpy wood road, should be suf-
ficient proof of the interest.
"Water-in-the-kitchen" was the top
ic that put every woman to day
dreaming, wondering if S25 of this
years wheat crop could possibly be
spent for a sink and pump. Right
there we have the solution for the to-
the-city movement. Why shouldn't
woman in the country have her house
work as easily arranged as the city
woman, for she also does no small
amount of outdoor work. Not that
she objects to the outdoor work, but
the weeks washing is a drudge when
she must bend over a board and tub
for several hours, and must carry wa
ter from the spring down the hill.
Miss Jensen carried with her sam
pies of labor-saving devices--poor
types as well as good ones; the mer-
chants of Pennington were kind
enough to lend others. Now that the
merchants know what the women
want it is an easy matter to handle
those articles.
Several demonstrations on bread
mixers have been arranged for. One
woman took the dish drainer the
Home Demonstration Agent had.
