"Yarbs" Little Known
To This Generation

"Yarbs" are little known to the
present generation. The patent
medicines drove the ''yarbs" out of
business. The writer made his
first acquaintance with one little
"yarb," the goldthread, when as a
boy he was given its wiry, yellow,
bitter rootstocks to chew for can
ker in the mouth-truly not a de-
licious morsel.
The small, white flowers Of this
plant develop some interesting
features. The outer divisions aye
the sepals, though they serve in
the usual capacity of petals as
we'll. Each real petal is small
club-shaped and terminated by a
cup-like disk which, strangely
enough, has been transformed into
a nectary. The pistils are curious
ly hooked.-W. |. Beecroft in Boys
Life for July.

Build That New Home Now

For more than two years build
ing has been going on only as
absolutely needed, with very little
attention being paid to up-keep
and maintenance. In fact, both
building and up-keep were dis
couraged. 1t was the patriotic
thing to get along as we'll as pos
sible with what we had. Appear
ances had to give way to thrift.
Now things have changed. The
tension is released. The building
and repairs which have been put
off should be delayed no longer.
Putting our money to work will
not only make better business, but
will help in the readjustment of
labor conditions all over the coun-
try. Countless laborers are being
released from the army every day.
To absorb this supply of labor, in
dustries of all kinds should speed
up as much as possible.
Why put off the construction of
new building or repair of an old
one? There is no sign of lower
prices. Waiting for low prices in
high-price times is like waiting fol
rain in a desert country.

The Real Enemies
OF The Poor

Many .social Ishmaelites and
rabid pariahs, militant against the
whole structure Of society today,
proceed on the false assumption
that the world refuses to the poor
their right to life, liberty and
happiness. Those who would rob
a poor man Of his chances, those
who would take bread from the
mouths of his family, are the very
ones who fight against ali forms
of law and order, who seek to tear
down the slowly upbuilt and stab
ilized scheme of the social organ
ism.
Let US clearly recognize the real
enemies of society. These enemies
are the ones who would entirely
sweep away all that mankind in
thoughtful concert has achieved
by untold centuries of painful
travail. They would not merely set
back the hands of the clock, but
destroy all sense of time and all

men who have been wounded or

The men will be taken care of
on his farm near Kennett Square,
Pa, without expense to them
selves. If they wish to work they
lwill be given light duties around
the farm and the money thus earn
ed will be given to them when they
leave. If they are not sufficiently
recovered to go to work, they will
only be required to lie around in
the sunshine and get well and
strong again. Medical attention,
food and clothing will be furnish
ed without cost. The men will be
kept there for a period from two
to three months at the end of
which time they will probably be
in a position to earn a decent liv-
ing for themselves.

WILL WAGE
WARFARE AGAINST
VICE DISEASE
State Board of Health to Es-
tablish Clinics Through
State

The State Board of Health is
now prepared to wage an aggres-
sive warfare against venereal
diseases. The public will be edu-
Gated as to the necessity for the
suppression of these diseases by
means of lectures, which will be
illustrated by moving pictures and
by lantern slides. Lectures will be
given by Lieutenant c. D. Hart,
who has had considerable expert
ence in the army on this subject,
and who has just been employed
to take charge of the venereal dis
ease campaign for the State Board
of Health in conjunction with the
United States Public Health
Service and the United States In
terdepartmental Society Hygiene
Board. Circulars Of instruction
will be distributed at each meet
ing and information will be fur
nished as to the places where free
treatment can be secured.
1t is hoped that every citizen of
the State may have an opportun-
ity to see the moving picture films
which show, in a striking manner,
the results of neglected treatment
of these diseases. 1t is the desire
of the State Board of Health to
hold meetings in the city of Will
mington almost daily during July
and to hold meetings in the vari-
Gus towns throughout the State
during the month of August. Per-
sons or organizations desiring to
have these educational films
should communicate with the
State Board of Health, Dover,
Delaware, or with Lieutenant c.
D. Hart, Public Building, Will
mington, Delaware.
Clinics for free treatment of
these diseases will be established
by the State Board of Health in
different sections of the State and
the necessary medicines will be
furnished for all INDECENT cases
1t will, therefore, be unnecessary
for any person to continue to suf
fer from these diseases or to pat
ronize a quack.
While the campaign will be be
gun in Wilmington it will be ex
tended throughout the State a!
rapidly as possible. Statistics re
Gently furnished by the Fedora
authorities show that out of tn
second million men that wer
drafted for service in the arm,
only nine states had higher We
nereal disease rate.

Wheat Yield Will Not Be
Below The Average
Increased Acreage Counterbalances Other Losses
Agronomist Analyses Present Condition of Crop
as Result of Observations Through
out the State

Many alarming reports have
been circulated concerning the
condition of the 1919 wheat crop
in the State. There is no doubt
that the yield of wheat will not
be up to expectations but the aver
age yield for the State as a whole
will not be far from the average
for the past 10 years. Several
factors have contributed to the
present condition Of the wheat
crop. The very mild winter to-
gether with an early spring caused
the wheat to make an excessive
growth. This was followed by
period of cool, wet weather during
the first half of May, favorable to
the development and wide distri-
button of rust which attacked the
blades of the plants. This had the
effect of checking the normal de-
velopment and ripening, and was
followed by an unusual amount OF
scab and other diseases which eff
feet the head of the plant. These
conditions combined resulted in
the wheat ripening in very short
time. SO quickly did the wheat
mature that many of the fields
were practically dead ripe before
the farmer was aware of it. The
combined diseases have resulted
in a more or less shriveled grain.
In addition to the diseases which
affected the wheat some of the
plants are straw fallen, due to the
presence of the Hessian Fly. This
will cut the yield considerably, but
the extra amount of straw on the
land will probably give a yield
above the average for the State
In the southern part Of Delaware
the wheat is better than usual, and
probably the yield will be higher
than that of the average year.
The writer spent two or three
days in different parts of the State
noting the condition of the whea
Just before it was cut. These OBJ
servations showed clearly that th'
bearded varieties of wheat wer
less effected by disease than tn
Newark post., 1919-07-09
July 7, 1919.

Owing to the tremendous i'm
portance of these diseases to the
country as a whole, Federal ap-
propriations have been made to as
sist State Boards of Health in the
eradication of these diseases, and
approximately $4,000 was granted
to Delaware for this purpose and
the last session of the State legis-
lature made an additional appro-
priation of $4,000.
1t should be borne in mind that
any person having these diseases
and who exposes other persons to
Infection or who refuses to obey
the rules of the State Board of
Health may be imprisoned, fined OF
have his house placarded.

materials constitute on the average
about two-thirds Of the cost OF mix
ed fertilizers, and as much OF this
material is not produced by the
fertilizer manufacturers, it is an
important subject for investigation
by the department, both as IN
Auencing the price of mixed goods
and as material which the farmer
may wish to purchase direct. 1t is
difficult subject Of investigation
because it is dependent upon SO
many industries in which it is by
product, and is Influenced by SC
many factors.
The department is also giving
consideration to the differentlal IL
delivery rates in different parts OF
the country which have prevailed
in the fertilizer trade for some
years.

zeal for progress. They have
learned nothing in the school of
experience; they do not know that
history has repeatedly shown the
folly of supporting that anarchy

The real robbers of the weak

creants who pretend to be the only

their own predatory ends as an

smooth types. A variety known as
Red Wave, quite popular in GER
tain sections, was cut 8 to 10
bushels per acre by the scab dis
ease. The Investigations at the
Station have shown that as re-
suit of the comparison of bearded
and smooth varieties extending
over a period of 10 years that the
bearded sorts are decidedly more
resistant to unfavorable condi-
tions, such as weather, insufficient
plant food and plant diseases
than the smooth types. 1t seems to
be conclusive fact that more de-
pendence may be paced on the
bearded sorts for satisfactory
yield one year with another under
Delaware conditions.
1t is worthy to note that the
kind of fertilizer applied to the
crop had much to do with the re-
sistance of the crop to diseases,
etc. Where proper balance of
plant food was supplied the wheat
ripened normally. That is, the
ripening period extended over the
usual number of days and the
wheat straw took on that bright
yellow color so characteristic OF
high yielding grain. Where the
plant food was out of balance, and
particularly where nitrogen was
used in excess, the crop was sew
erely damaged and the grain will
be found to be much shriveled.
There is probably more straw
per acre this year than there has
been for long time and this viii
help make up the loss grain due
to quality.
This department will be interest
ed in receiving reports from farm
ers on their yields of wheat thi
year, and particularly whethe
they are growing the smooth o
bearded varieties.

Slice pineapples before pairing
and the task will be much easier
and great deal of the fruit saved.
The best way to judge the ripeness
of a pineapple is to twist one of
the green spikes at the end. If it
comes out with a good hard twist
the fruit is ripe. If it fails to come
out the pineapple is green.
