kENTUCKY GROWN MELON
COMING IN \ FORTNIGHT

Watcrmclons, the genuine Ken
lucky homegrown product, and gen
orally the best on the market during
its season, will be here within two
weeks, stated Frank Sanders, living
in the vicinity of Waco. He estimates
that the crop of melons will be equal
to that of blackberries, which is one
of the biggest in years. He has sew
cral thousand vines, and reports that
while some Of the vines suffered from
the recent drouth, they were not ser
ioJlsly injured, and that prospects for
;,n exceedingly large melon crop were
good. The same can be said of can
taloupes, although it is the belief that
this variety of melon is not as eX-
tensively grown this season as last.

A. +. ShouSe called attention to the
willing of his plants, which dried up
from the middle to the tip. DR.. Val
leau said the cause of this was light
ming, whic hstruck in his fields.
DR.. Nalleau said the attack of Wild
fire was generally on the upper side
of the leaf and started within "a
hours of rain. He said that the pest
apparently was not confined to old or
new fields, but that it was eviden6
that the disease came from seed beds.
This he regarded as certain for dis
eased plants were taken from the seed
bed and wildfire found in them after
they were planted.
DR.. Valleau declared it was up 10
the growers to take every precautior
and told how the Florida fruit grow
ers. had gotten rid of a similar pest
by concerted action.
&. Valleau said it was possible
| that means of treating seed wouli
kill the bacteria, but that it would !
| much more difficult to induce growers
to do this than to select seed fire,
| from the disease. He advised that to-
bacco be not replanted in 1921 on lane
on which the wildfre is found this
year and that all tobacco stalks CT
affected land be burned.
Irregularity in the size of plants
he said, cost the farmers in the
county probably 100000 year. Il,
said this was due DO droot-rot an.
| that it was most serious of all tobacco
diseases, nine out of ten fields being
affected. He said this could also be
traced to the seed bed and that the
pest could be controlled by using re-
sistant plants and by steaming the
plant beds, which would cost about $S
an acre and might mean Il saving of
| $500 on acre.
DR.. Valleau told of experiments now
being made at the Experiment Sta
ton, and asked farmers to come there
and see for themselves what is being
done.
He said that the resistant plants
might not be as good quality as the
ordinary hurley, but would more than
make up in yield for the difference in
quality.
A routine meeting of the Farmers
Union was called Immediately at the
close of the tobacco mems meeting.

of the county is well represented in

claimed. Theer arc good prices pre-

able to attend to their crops and pick
the berries have hired this work done,
many on the shares, while other pick

new SCHOOL LAWS
BEING ENFORCED
Big List of Absent Children Visit
ed By Truant Omcer-Big
Meeting of Teachers

All children of school age in Mad
ison county must go to school. The
change of books win come later and
definite information will be given out
relative to this soon. Teachers have
been given information regarding the
new compulsory law ana the truant
officers will see to it that it is obcyed.
There was a large representation OF
county teachers at the first regular
meeting of the year at the court house
Saturday, when business of a general
character pertaining to the school or
ganiZation, truancy matters and the
new law in general were discussed
and explained. The teachers were
anxious to be enlightened relative to
the requirements of the new law and
will assist Truant Officer Paris b.
Akin, also supervisor of the schools
in his work. The effect of the newly
appointed officer is already being felt
in a number of homes and the at
tendance of number of schools has
been materially increased by his at
tention to the matter of causing all
of school age to be in attendance.
There are u number of instructors OF
the Berea College, as well as Prof.
Booth, of the Eastern Normal, as
siSting with the work and the intcn-
ton is to have every child of school
age in attendance within very short
time. Mr.. Akin, who started the work
for the first time in the county, re-
ports that the parents of many chill
Gren absent from school took the
matter seriously and, with a few ex-
ccptions, represented they were anx-
;Ous to do his bidding, and many of
the heretofore "weak excuses" offered
will be done away with, since parents
are being forced to realize that the
obedience of the new law will be i'm
pcrativc.
The change in school books, coming
later, will be another feature added
TO the list of changes during the pres
ent year, and there will be a meeting
OF the board in the near future at
which this matter will be taken up
and definite report made to Coun-
5y Superintendent Edwards.
