tried to console him with a pie.
Seeing another pie on the shelf
a trifie larger than his he in
quired the reason therefor, and
when told by his wife that she
intended eating that one, he few
into a rage and struck her in
the jaw, cutting her tongue and
lip.
1t was just an ordinary mar
ried slap" explained Coverson.

walk away-but this time l must
have hit her harder than usual"
IF you hit her like that
again" warned Judge Aukam,

Look Your Fiekls Over for the
Sow Thistle.
The County Agent has discov-
cred a few new patches of sow
thistles in the county. It is
urged that every one look their
fields over carefully and be sure
and burn the heads off the plant
If any Of the sow thistle are dis
covered. If a few patches are al
lowed to seed this year. next
year. this pest will be widely

spent FIVE days in the county the
latter part of July and, together
with the County Agent, held a
series of potato field meetings
throughout the county.
In the fields inspected two dis
eases were especially prevalent,
namely. blackleg and the dry
stem rot. These diseases can be
controlled by treating the seed
with corrosive sublimate. The
loss in some fields due to these
diseases were great, greatly ex-

ceeding the small expense of sup
plies and labor in treating the
seed.
Mr.. Frolick especially empha-
sized the use Of the potato seed
plot as the best means of con-
trolling disease and increasing
the potato yields. The potato
fields visited where seed plot
had been carried on for few
wears, very markedly showed the
beneficial effects of the seed
plot. in that the fields were uu-
usually uniform in growth: the
plants showing great strength
and vigor. and remarkably free
from disease.
The potato seed plot is long
past the experimental stage, and
the potato growers of the county
who do not maintain a seed plot,
should plan this year for their
next years seed plot. and select
the best hills for seed for tn.
