SPRAYING CELERY TO
 PREVENT LEAF SPOTS
Application of Bordeaux Mixture
 Is Recommended.
Treatment Should Continue Through out Growing Season and Moro Especially in Moist, Cool Weath-
 er-AppIy With Pump.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Celery plants should be sprayed with bordeaux mixture every ten days to two weeks to prevent leaf diseases, which often seriously injure the crop for market purposes. These leaf spots occur generally in celery-grOwing dis tricts in the United States during cool, moist weather. Homemade bordeaux, composed of pounds bluestone (cOp- per sulphate) and pounds stone lime to 50 gallons of water, Is the cheapest and best fungicide for the purpose, The spraying should be begun while the plants are still in the seed bed and continued throughout the season. The sprayings should be more frequent during moist, cool weather favorable to the development of the leaf spots

and farther apart in dry, hot periods. Apply the mixture thoroughly with a pump which will give a very fine misty spray that will cover the plants but not run. down the stalks and thus dis figure the stems.
 Since the disease is carried over winter on the seed and in the soil where diseased celery was grown the previous year, it is important that new soil be used in the seed bed or the old soil sterilized by steam, hot water or formalin solution and that disease-free seed be planted.

 The Presidents Cabinet

If President-elect Harding ap- pointed all the men who are SO earnestly recommended by high authority for his cabinet it would take good-sized hall to hold them, The old-time politician's Idea was to use the cabinet ap- polntments to flatter the pride of states and sections, and to take care of rivals who might make trouble if omitted. But the coun- trv m these times demands that government be run more like a business concern.
 The biggest problem that the President-elect has to meet dur ing his four years. comes up right now. It's to get as heads of his departments, men with enough practical insight and constructive genius to solve the difficulties of this reconstruction period, and give the people relief from the troubles of which they complain.

WOW. 100 per cent Solvent

When one hundred men die. statistics show that thirty-four widows are. dependent on charity, forty-seven must work for liv- ing, and only nineteen of the en- tire hundred are left in comfort able circumstances.
 It is d .well-khown fact that when the average man reaches the age of seventy. he has no one dependent upon him. As a mat- ter of fact, he IS quite often de- pendent upon some one else, and IS in need sof assistance. This assistance will be found in a very substantial form in the old age clause. Should the Society as result of favorable mortality eX- perlence, excess interest earn ings, or other favorable contin- gencies, collect more than the sum sufficient to maintain the re- serve required by law, and pro- vide for the payment of claims incurred and the necessary ex- penses of the Society. the result ing surplus will be returned to the member in one of the many forms permitted by law.
 The home office urges every member to help increase the mem- bership. so more people may be provided for in their old age, and widows and children may not be left to the care of charity or- ganizations.

 Mysteries in law making is a dangerous thing. A representa- tive should :carefullv study a bill before he votes for it. Many bad laws are made by stampeding the legislature, and later legisla- lures have to repeal sthem. We do not class the dog tax law among the bad laws. for we do not know how 1t worked, but the principle of stampeding for and then against operated in this case. and we think the principle Is wrong whether the law is wrong or not.

He IS so good. y Is 1t any wonder that she never had time to complain or murmur of trials and hardships.
