this for the reason that the tops OF
the plants may have withered by that
time so that the diseased roots could
not be distinguished from healthy
ones. The best means to be used in
destroying plants is TO burn them.
Two successive seasons OF careful
field observations and eliminiting the
diseased plants will probably stamp
out this disease from any lot Of pota-
toes. II IS a good practice to raise
ones own seed-slips so as to be sure
that these are grown from healthy
roots which come from disease-free
plants" The bulletin No. 167, may be
obtained by writing to the Director of

NEW DISEASE OF "SWEETS"
EXPLAINED BY BULLETIN

A new disease of sweet potatoes
has recently been discovered in the
state known as sweet potato mosaic.
The disease is characterized by a pc
culiar nothing and wrinkling Of the
leaves, by a dwarfing or stunting Of
the whole plant and by the production
of but few marketable roots and is
perpetuated by using the roots coming
from diseased plants for seed pur-
poses.
Professor H. r. Rosen, who has just
published a bulletin describing and
illustrating the new disease says that
while the disease is common through
out the state it is not abundant. 1T is
fortunate that the disease has been
detected before it has obtained a
strong foothold for it is capable of
producing serious losses" says Profes-
sor Rosen. "In the experiments con-
Quoted at Fayetteville, the disease had
such pronounced effect in reducing
the leaf acres of plants that in most
of the hills hardly any marketable
roots were obtained"

SAVE BURR CLOVER SEED
WITHIN NEXT TWENTY DAYS

Burr Glover seed is now ripening
and if the seed is not saved within
the next 20 days the crop will be lost.
The supply of bur clover seed is so
far below the demand in Arkansas
that ). wing seed from this most inn
portant c, op is Of great importance in
the opinion of Harry f. Kapp, Dis
erict Farm Agent with the Agricul-
tural Extension Division,
Farmers should save all seed pos
sible to help supply the demand if
not for their own use" says Mr.. Kapp,
"for this is the most valuable forage
crop sown in the fall and produces an
excellent winter pasture, growing all
winter if the temperature does not get
too low.
"As soon as the seed has matured
wholly or in part, they drop off and lie
on the ground The best method for
securing the seed Is TO take fork
and lift the plants or vines and re-
move them from the plot All of the
seed that have fallen IN the ground
should be swept up with an old broom,
dirt and all Such seed is ready for
sowing for such dirt containing seed
is an advantage in that inoculation
is carried with the seed for resolving,
'1n planting burr clover, seed in the
bur should be used. Farmers should
not plant clean seed. The important
thing Is to save the seed so that there
will be something to plant, There is
q great shortage of this seed and every
farmer who has a patch of bur clover
win render service to his neighbors
AZ d make nitc profit for himself by
saving the seed"
Professor Rosen makes the follow

of this disease. Destroy all diseased

they appear in the field, 1t is best

EGG DEALERS CAN MAKE
MORE PROFIT IF CAREFUL

Many egg shippers in Arkansas are
making substantial progress along the
line of better care and packing of eggs
and it means that the states reputa-
ton for good eggs is increased in a
great degree is the opinion of II. b.
Lansden, Poultry Specialist with the
Agricultural Extension Division.
There are some dealers, however
who are making the mistake of allow
ing eggs to accumulate in buckets
tubs and other receptacles, especially
during hot weather." Mr.. Lansden
says, which results in poor quality
eggs in the market. Eggs should not
be kept in poorly ventilated rooms,
near oil barrels or where they may
absorb strong odors, and finally, they
should not be packed in dilapidated
cases using second hand filters and
flats and with little protection on the
top and bottom of the case.
Dealers everywhere are finding it
to their advantage to take good care
of eggs as soon as received, putting
them into we'll constructed cases, us
ing heavy filters and flats with cush-
ions of excelsior for protection top and
bottom. Eggs are stored in as cool a
place as possible and shipped as
promptly and often as convenient
Eggs deteriorate rapidly unless
chilled down to low temperature.

Preserving Eggs.

Housewives have long since
realized the value of preserving
fruits and vegetables, but there
Is still great deal of prejudice
against eggs that are stored or
packed. By preserving eggs in
@ater-glass during May and
June, cheap eggs may be eaten
all the year, and the principle in
volved in preserving eggs is the
same as that used in canning.
The product is sealed up so that
the air may be kept out, thus
preserving the food. The pre-
serving of eggs is just as sue
cessful as canning fruits or veg
etables, and is much easier.
Eggs that are preserved in tt e
correct way and served in Feb
ruary cannot be distinguished
fcom fresh eggs, either in tas e
or appearance. The eggs must
ue infertile and absolutely fresh.
The water glass must be mixed
with boiled rain water to form
the preserving solution, and they
must be stored in earthen jars.
A five gallon jar is convenient
size for preserving eggs, and
will hold about fifteen dozen.
One quart of water glass will
preserve this number OF eggs.
Place the fresh infertile eggs in
jar and pour over them the
preserving fluid which is made
by mixing one quart of water
| glass with nine quarts of rain
water which has been boiled and
cooled before the water glass is
added. Store the eggs in cool
place, and cover the jar with oil
cloth or wsxed paper to prevent

ouija suppIanted PIanchette.

The ,planchette was a thin, heart
shaped piece of wood supported on
two casters at the end of the base, and
on an ordinary pencil at the apex,
popular about 1860 to 1880, before the
Ouija board supplanted it. The pen
Gil could readily be made to trace
characters without conscious move
ment on the part of the operator, if
the tingertips were placed upon this
device.
Like the Ouija board, the planchette
was used by two classes of persons.
1t was used by the believers in spirit
ualiSm. who asked questions of a spir-
ituaI control, and believed that they
received answers from the intelli-
gences on the spirit plane. and by
people who regarded the mechanism
as a game, and amused themselves by
pushing it to write messages for the
benefit of others present.

WHY WRITE DULL LETTERS7
Correspondence May Be Made Interest
ing if Little Thought Is
Given to It

Most people think before they SPEAK,
but only few think before they write.
I have friend, says a writer in Lon
don Answers, and she is a girl who al
ways keeps her friends; partly, I am
sure, because, however far away they
are, it is never too much trouble to
write them long and interesting let
tiers. Thus, though miles may stretch
between them, she can always keep
her friends very near to her In thought.
She does not dash off anything that
comes into her head; she always con-
siders her friends point of view. If
the particular friend she is writing to
is fond of sport she writes of it; fond
of books, then the latest books are dis
cuSSed; if music is a favOrite. then
music finds place in her letter. And
always through them all there runs a
little vein of humOr.
So many people suffer from lack of
tact. For instance, some. time ago,
when my mother was about to undergo
a very serious operation. it became
hCNCSSdly W CtilNOl Htl NOll cNi'bll'l-
ence-fOr the simple reason that some
Of it was too depressing for words.
One very well-meaning old lady
wrote saying how sorry she was to hear
of my mothers great misfortune and
how it often happened that very &C
tive women ended their days as bed
ridden invalids! And how she. once
knew of lady who caught cold after
a similar operation and contracted
some awful kind of incurable "itis!"
One always considers people in con-
versatiCn. Then why not in letter
writing? One does not talk religion
before an atheist, nor let the CONVEX
sation verge on the frivolous before a
curate.
Letters require just as much thought.

DISCOVERY OF HOLY CROSS
Story Goes That the Empress Helena
Was Responsible for Its RecoV-
cry From the Jews.

Through the zeal of the Empress
Helena, mother of Constantine the
Great, was discovered the cross on
which the Savior was crucified, and
the date is given as May 8. The
story usually told is. to the effect that
the empress went to Jerusalem and
there compelled the Jews to bring the
cross from its cOncealment and give 1t
to her, together with other crosses in
their possession. It's identity was es-
tablished by miracle: The body Of
dead man was placed on each of the
crosses, and when it touched the true
.One the dead man Immediately came
to life. Many pilgrims travelling to
Jerusalem received pieces of the true
cross, and the question was raised as
to the possibility of supplying thou
sands with those fragments without
entirely carrying away the cross. 1t
was therefore said that the true cross
had the power of reproducing itself
On the capture of Jerusalem in GA,
the cross we are told, was carried into
Persia, where it remained until re-
stored by Heraclius. which event is
cOmmemOrated in September and is
usually called Hollywood day. The four
nails were distributed so that two
were placed in the imperial crown,
one brought to France, and another
thrown into the Adriatic to quiet it's
turbulence.

Indians Still Use Blow Gun.

The blow gun is still popular for
hunting birds among the KOasati In
dians in Louisiana. This weapon con-
sists of a tube, usually of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth on the in
side with an implement made for the
purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one, wrapped
neatly along a third of its length with
thistledOwn or cotton to make it fit
the inside of the tube The hunter
places a dart in the tube; which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at his game; then
with a quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with a sufficient
force to impale and kill a small bird

Good for Every pax Use.

Get up right in the morning. Go
TO bed right at night. Start with joy
in your heart, hope in the future, kind
ness in your purpose. If it is a dark
day, never mind; you will brighten il
up. If it is bright day, you will add
to the brightness. Give a word of
cheer. a kindly greeting and warm
handshake to your friends, says a
writer in Leslie's.
If you have enemies, look up, pass
them by, forget and try to forgive.
If all of us would only think how
much of human happiness is made
by ourselves, there would be less OF
human misery.
If all of US would bean in mind that
happiness is from within and not from
without, there would be a well-Spring

ETHER FIRST USED IN BOSTON
In 1874 Horace Wells, Dentist, Made
Successful Experiment on
Himself.

In 1874, Horace Wells, dentist, Hart
ford, Conn.,, attended a lecture by Col
ton on nitrous Oxid gas. In illustrat-
ing the lecture gas was administered
to one of the audience, who became
unconscious. This led Wells to be-
lieve that it might be employed to rem
der painless the extraction of teeth.
He tried it on himself and found that
it was so.
During the same year William Nor
ton, a Boston dentist, heard that sui
furic ether could be inhaled in small
quantities to produce Inconsistencies.
Accordingly, he experimental. He was
insensible for eight minutes. On re-
covering he concluded that ether might
be employed successfully in surgical
work. On October 16, 1916, Morton adj
ministered ether to a patient in the
Massachusetts general hospital in
Boston.
It was in November, 1S47, that Simp-
son. famous Scottish scientist of Edin-
burgh, resolved to try personally the
inhalation Of chlOrOform. Sitting with
his friends, Duncan and Keith, around
a dinner table, he proposed that they
inhale chloroform. Each consented TO
the test. First, their minds were liven-
ed; then they fell into deep stupOr.
Simpson, recovering first, found Dun

VIOLENT LOVERS OF WOMEN
Writer Implies That Fierce Wooers
Are Not Altogether in DisfaVor

to magistrate of the action of an adj
mirer of hers who had fallen into the
habit of springing at her from door
ways ''like an angry lion" He swOre
that if he could not have her, no one
else should.
Women say they do not like that
kind of lover. But is the fair sex quite
to be trusted when they make this
statement?
Savage man did not ask the woman
of his choice, "Wilt thou be mine?"
He made himself a stout club with a
good knob at the end and ran after
the woman in the literal sense.
Above her head he swung the club
with an energy peculiar to savage
man. Tremblingly she answered, ayes"

her husband was not so savage as he
appeared at first sight, and grew rec

She had, undoubtedly, a certain
ferceneSs of her own. And probably
there were henpecked husbands even
in those days.
There have been many savage WOO
ers in history. King Henry VIII is
a notorious example. There was no

such a taking way with him that he

Old and New Books.

There is no sfllier affectatiOn than
that of old worldism. To rave about
Sir Robert Browne and know nothing
of William Goblet is foolish. To
turn your back upon your own time
is simply to provoke living wags, with
rudimentary but effective humor, to
chalk OpprObriOus epithets upon your
person. But, on the other hand, to
depend. upon your contemporaries for
literary sustenance, to be reduced to
scan the lists of Forthcoming Works
with a hungry eye, to complain of a
dearth of new poems, and new novels,
and new sermons, is worse than affec-
tation-it is stupidity.-Augustine
