Generous Women of D. c.
Glad of Opportunity to
Brighten Christmas.

The Star last Monday printed short
appeal suggesting that the kind

interest themselves personally in
"shutin' cases at Walter Reed Hos
pital.
The patients at Walter Reed are far
from home and friends and. in spite
all the arrangements made for their
comfort, would be likely to spend
rather forlorn Christmas were it not
for the Red Cross. At best they will
be homesick.
Already responses have come in gen
erous numbers and the letters have
been turned over to the volunteer
workers who visit the various wards
at the hospital, and are familiar with
individual needs and wants.

varvino Movements of Leaves,

Different species of trees move
their leaves very differently, so that
one may sometimes tell by the mo-
ton of shadows on the ground, if he
be too indolent to look up, under what
kind of tree he is sitting. On the
tulip-tree (Which has the finest name
that ever tree had, making the very
pronouncing of it's name almost like
the utterance of strain of music
Liridodendron tulipfera), on the tulip
tree, the aspen, and on all native pop
lars, the leaves have an intense indi-
vidualism. Each one moves to suit
itself. Under the same wind one is
trilling up and down, another is whirl-
ing, another slowly vibrating right
and left, and others still, quoting
themselves to sleep, as mother gently
pats her slumbering child; and each
one intent upon a motion of its own.
Sometimes other trees have single
frisky leaves, but usually the oaks, ma
pies, beeches, have community of mo
ton. They are all acting together, or
are all alike still.-Henry Ward
Beecher.

GROWERS TOLD
HOW TO HANDLE
TOBACCO NOW

With the tobacco crop of this sec
ton in flourishing condition, and
much of it reaching the blooming
stage, George 0. Marshall, county
farm demonstration, has prepared the
following ''Timely Hints for Tobac-
co Growers"
l. Do not top tobacco too low or
the leaves will be coarse and of poor
quality.
2. Do not wait until tobacco has
bloomed to top. Top when the button
is just ready to bloom.
8. Read your tobacco bulletin be-
fore going out to top.
4. Keep suckers pulled off. They
will injure your tobacco.
5. Never let up on the worms.
Keep them off with poison as pre-
scribed.
6. If you have not finished your
barn do so right away. You will not
have time after the tobacco is ready
to harvest.
Obtain the necessary sticks for
hanging tobacco in the barn. Have
enough to fill the barn twice.
8. Provide tight room for stor-
ing tobacco after it is taken out of
the barn.
9. Order supply of wrapping
thread to string your tobacco. Do not
get thread you cannot break with
your fingers.
10. Buy your thermometers and
have them ready. Get large thermom-
eters that are easy to read.
IL. It's a good practice to sow
peas in the tobacco field last cult
walton. Sow only iron or brabham
peas, as these are free nematodes.
y. Fill the barn in one day.
Is. The tobacco should be got in
the barn with as little whiting as pos
sible.
If your supply of tobacco bulletins
is exhausted write to the college fol
more.
