a building which in former fairs has
been poorly filled but this year in
it may be found the display of the
Vermont Publicity Bureau which is
under the direction of Director w
II. Gfackett OF burlington assisted
by Miss Florence Cummings. Adj
joining this are the displays of the
Randolph State Agricultural school
and the Vail Agricultural school of
Lyndonville. In the Vail school which
is located on the farm once known
as the Speedwell Farms and whose
exhibit of Brown Swiss cattle were
one of its features at former fairs,
although the Swiss cattle are still a
part of the farm equipment, most of
the other breed of cows are also kept

the superiority of one over the 9TH
er. At both schools handicraft work
in wood and metal are taught, and

TO AMERICANIzEALIENS
Conference Says Foreign-Born
Women Must Be Educated.
Peter A. Speek Declares That Females
Need Extension Schooling More
Than the Males.

Washington, May 14.-The need of
reaching the foreign born woman with
American ideas was emphasized by
Peter A. Speek Of the library OF con-
gress, speaking at the Americanization
eanferenes IS ths intsrlagsdep artIpent,s
s'The adult fbreign born woman
needs extension schooling more than
the man." Mr.. Speek declared, "and
to bring the women out into the Amer
lean world is one of the most difficult
tasks of Americanization."
Mr.. Speek pointed out that while the
head Of the family naturally comes In
contact with American speech and
ideas in the course of making living,
his wife remains at home and often
is unabsorbed by her adopted country.
He declared the problem of educating
alien born residents was acutest In
large colonies of immigrant settlers,
especially in rural communities.
"The school year must be changed
to meet the calendar year as one means
of increasing attendance at the rural
school," he said.
A. w. Coffin of the war civics COM
mittee on East st. Louis, ILL.,, declared
one of the greatest needs of the for
eign born Industrial worker was mot
plaything, but playfellow." He said
1t was also a question of what to play.
Compare the native recreational
habits of the foreign born with the
crowded conditions under which they
live here and you will cease to wonder
why they do not always become happy
Americans" Mr.. Coffin said.
w. G. Smith of the New York state
department of education said the SUI
preme task in Americanizing immi.
grants was to train an adequate num-
Der Of efficient teachers.
S. E. Weber, superintendent Of
schools of Scranton, Pa, told how his
city opened afternoon and evening
classes to reach the foreign born. He
declared the problem Of Americaniza'
ton was peculiarly one for the schools
to undertake.

FIND new WHEAT DISEASE
"Takc All" Or "White Heads" and Flag
Smut Discovered in Madison coun-
ty, III.-survey Underway.

washington, May 14-Although the
two wheat diseases recently discover
ed in Madison county, ILL.,, and which
previously were unknown in this coun-
try may cause heavy losses to indi-
vidunl farmers, the losses in the area
affected will have no appreciabe eff
feet upon the total production of this
years wheat crop, said statement is
sued by the department of agriculture.
The first of the two diseases, said the
statement apparently is identical with
the stake all" or white heads" known
in many foreign countries. The sec
nnd is flag smut of wheat. AS both
nests are extensively known in Aus.
tralia federal experts sent to Madison
county are of the opinion the diseases
we're brought to this country in seed
shipped from Australia. AS a result,
q nationwide survey now is in progress
ia find if either or both of the diseases
have been introduced anywhere else in
the United States.
All grain growers have been urged
| to help their state experiment stations
and the federal authorities in this
work. and thereby aid in preventing
the spread of pests which have had
such serious effects in Australia.
