DO you TAKE TIME TO THINK

More than ever today, Mr.. and
Mrs. General Public find themselves
wondering. A concrete thing has
happened that affects us all. That
comfortably large, round medium OF
barter, ONE DOLLAR, while con-
siderably more plentiful, doesn't
seem to have the punch of yore.
The young chap who went away
one morning to help sustain our Ma
tional ideas of international morals
and justice has come home talking in
terms far beyond the scope of farm
or community. Our lawmakers are
working with problems that concern
all world affairs instead of tax and
tariff.
Never question Chautauqua serv-
ice again. These unanswered queries
in the back of your head will be an
swered by men who know and whose
lives for this summer are devoted to
having you know. The Chautauqua
has brought them together and will
bring them to you. All you need to
do is to get to the tent.

to be a Scout Making an enviable
record for himself, Robert Baugh-

The best lands for barley are we'll

ONION SMUT CAN
Be CONTROLLED
After Experiments Solution Of
FormaIdehyde Is Recon-
mended by Specialists.
YOUNG SEEDLINGS ATTACKED
After Plants Are About Three Inches
High They Become Immune to In
fectlon-care Necessary In
Applying Treatment.

The spread OF onion smut into the
large northern onion sections and It's
increasing prevalence each year have
emphasized the Importance OF n prac-
teal means OF control for this desease.
After careful experimentation, special
lists OF the United States department
of agriculture recommend n solution OF
formaldehyde In the furrow with the
seed.
Onion smut Is caused by n fungous
parasite which lives In the soil and,
when once introduced, spreads slowly
TO adjoining areas. In the spring, at
the time when the onion seeds are
terminating, the smut spores, or seed
bodies, also germinate and infect the
young seedlings, causing brown to
black elongated bllsters within the
scales or leaves, which often split
open, exposing the powdery blnck
masses OF spores. Affected leaves
usually are slightly thlckened and
often curve downward. Many OF the
young seedlings are so heavily at.
tackled that they die within three to
1--we weeks after termination.
Controlled by Formaldehyde.
A peculiar and important fact about
onion smut Is that the onion plant can
be attacked by n fungus only while In
the young Seeding stage. After the
plants are about three inches high
they become immune to infection by
the smut fungus, and onion sets or
seedlings three TO four inches high

BELOVED GOLF CAME FIRST
Little Things Like Marital Ties and
the Demands Of Business Didn't
Worry These Devotees.

A golfers wife had Just told her hus-
band that she intended to leave him
forever, not because he was n golfer,
but for some other reason.
"Will nothing alter your decision?
WIN nothing induce you to st0yf" he
asked.
The wife was obdurate.
"Well. he said, at Is n terrible
shock, but while you are pncklng, 1
think I will go nut on the lawn and
do n little puttlng!"
This Is reminiscent Of n story Of one
Of the heroes Of golf, an Edinburgh
%lnnkeeper who lived n hundred years
ago or thereabouts. lie was so devot-
ed TO the game that he started playing
nj dawn and was seen at night putting
on the greens by the light Of n can
lle. At last his wife applied for n
separation on the ground that her hus-
band was not attending to his bust
ness.
lie went to the court, admitted the
impeachment, and said "She can have
all ! got II she will give me so much n
week to buy golf balls. She can look
after the business"

Replies TO Inquiries addressed to

that n few In Industrial centers, par
tIculnrly In the East, were selling from
10 10 30 per cent less seed than last
year. The cause, apparently, was the
shortage OF labor on truck farms.
Compared with normal conditions he

Eastern centers ranges from 10 TO 45
per cent.
on the whole the sales TO home gar
deners seem to be larger than those of
last year, ranging from a 0 per cent
increase In some sections TO 80 per
cent IN others. Dealers In the most
Northerly cities were unable TO report
adequately because the senson had not
