HOW TO CONTROL APPLE RUST
Most Effective Plan Is to Get Rid OF
Red Cedars in Neighborhood-
Disease is Peculiar.

The most effective way of control
ling apple rust is to get rid of the red
cedars in the neighborhood. This host
plant is necessary for the propagation
of the rust, as the disease has pecu-
liarity of living during one stage on
the cedar as host plant and during the
second stage either on the cedar or the
apple as host plant. The first stage
will not develop on the apple tree, and
If one eliminates the cedars he gets
rid of apple rust.

LUKE M'LUKE SAYS

It doesn't take you long to get ac quainted with a girl before you marry her. But it takes you long time to get acquainted with her after you marry her.
 Wouldn't it be fine if we only had as many unbroken laws as we have unwrtten laws.
 It. is easy enough for wife to get her husband home for supper. But it is mighty hard for her to keep him homo after supper.
 We know man who got mad because he was sued for $1oj.OOO damages. Shux. We would regard it as a compliment.
 Many rummy who voted his own state dry thinking he could get the stuff shipped in from wet state has discov- cred to his sorrow that he took in too much territory.
 And if you give your wife everything she wants, she will want everything the other women want.
 Any time you go around calling a man crook you can bet that he is goinS around giving you the same sort of free advertising.
 Some men seem to think that the only way to do good turn is to turn the other fellow down.
 And the fact or the matter IS that IT some men did know themselves they wouldn't be acquainted with very much.
 Along about the time a man reaches the age of 60 he possesses a lot of knowledge that he would be willing to sell for about g per cent less than the information cost him.
 We can't understand why most men seem to think that it is against the law to look pleasant when they are having photograph taken.
 It is easy enough to locate Hell. Any rheumatic can tell you that it is located in the legs, and any dyspeptic can tell you that it is located in the stomach.
