Much loss was prevented in the
southeastern states in the past season
by spraying for the watermelon dis
ease, anthracnose. The organism
which causes the trouble attacks the
vines in the field, killing the foliage
and lowering both the yield and quail
ity of the fruit. By covering healthy
vines with a spray solution, Bordeaux
mixture, they can be protected.
Popularity Of Method.
The growth in popularity of this
method may be seen in Florida. In
1913, not more than 800 acres in that
state were sprayed. In 1919 over
3,400 acres were sprayed under super
vision of agents of the department of
agriculture. Approximately two to

GET READY
FOR FLU
Keep Your Liver Active, Your
System Purified and Free From
Colds by Taking Calotabs,
the Nausealess Calomel
Tablets, that are De-
ightful, Safe and

Physicians and Druggists are advis,
ing their friends to keep their systems
purified and their organs in perfect
working order as a protection against

that clogged up system and a lazy
liver favor colds, influenza and serious
complications.
To cut short a cold overnight and to
prevent serious complications take one
Calotab at bedtime with a swallow of
water-that' 8 all. No salts, no nausea,
no gripping, no sickening after effects
Next morning your cold has vanished,
your liver is active, your system is puri
fed and refreshed and you are feeling
fine with hearty appetite for break
fast. Eat what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages, price thirty-fve cents.
Every druggist is authorized to refund
your money if you are not perfectly
delighted with Calotabs.-(Adv.)

four applications are required in or
der to give the vines protection. Us
ing figures secured after working with
types of power spray pumps in Florida
last season, the average cost an acre
came to 81 cents for each application.
Farmers have decided that this is
cheap protection against a very seri-
Gus disease, and it is believed certain
that spraying will soon be recognized
as a necessary step in good melon
culture.
Spread of Disease.
Last season favored the spread OF
the disease. Severe rainy weather
was experienced at one time or an
other during the growing season all
over the melon belt, and moist
weather with driving rains made it
possible for this disease to spread
through the fields. Cars arrived at
the New York market with so to 90
per cent Of the melons affected, the
sunken, decayed spots on the rind be-
ing so numerous that in some in.
stances the entire surface of the
melon was affected.

New Source Of Petroleum.

The existence Of petroleum, 1t Is re-
ported, has been definitely established
near Punta Arenas and in the north
west Of TERRA del Fuego. The fire.
quency Of the emsnations Of natural
gas makes it probable that the petrol
ferrous deposits are large. The geolo-
gists have indicated to certain pro-
posed drilling companies the most ap-
propriate places for drilling. The

the actual drilling, but will continue to
further scientific explorations with a

The idea that the Creator Is owner
Of all things and that man Is only 9
steward responsible to Him for the ad.
ministration Of material affairs on an
unselfish basis, will be emphasized In
practically all churches Of the United
States during February. Agreements
to this effect have been reached by
many Of the leading denominations in
the Interchurch World Movement. Pas
tors throughout the country have indi
Gated their intention of following the
suggestions made by the Interchurch
Movements stewardship department
for sermons to be preached, study
classes to be organized and literature
to be distributed.
This campaign Of education is te
reach it's climax on Washington
Birthday, Sunday, February %, which
has been designated as Nationwide
Stewardship Acknowledgement Day.
It is the plan to have all church mem
bers make acknowledgment on that
day that the Divinity is owner Of all
things by setting aside certain pro
portion of their income for the support
Of religious causes. While the pro
portion to be set aside is to be deter
mined by each individual, sermons and
studies will suggest that tenth Is 9
good proportion to start with. It will
be pointed out that the Federal income
tax law exempts from taxation, up ts
Is per cent Of the income, money spent
for religious and philanthropic pur'
poses.
Not only will the Stewardship cam.
paign emphasize the responsibility Of
persons to use their material posses
sions for the advancement Of Christi
anity, but it is urged that Christiani
have been made the repositories Of
spiritual resources which must be used
for the enrichment Of the world. Or
that assumption all Christians will b
reminded of their responsibilities te
utilize their privileges Of prayer fol

and to enlist in active service promul
