WART DISEASE HITS
ROOTS OF TOMATOES
Injury Probably Does Not Reduce
Yield of Fruit.
Affected Plants Serve to Carry ALL
nent Over From Year to Year in
Absence of Potatoes-Other
Plants Suspected.

PREPARED by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Recent Investigations made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the control of the potato wart
disease, a European trouble found in
this country in 1918, disclosed the fact
that this disease also attacks tomatoes.
Out Of % varieties of tomatoes planted
in wart-infested gardens in eastern
Pennsylvania in 1920. 20 were found to
be susceptible to the disease.
Wart is a very serious disease of po-
tatoes, causing practically a total loss
in badly infested soil 1t attacks the
tubers, causing warty outgrowths,
which may practically cover or con-
sumo the potatoes. Its present known
occurrence in the United States is con-

Chicken hens and incubators can be
and often are used successfully for
Matching turkey eggs, but the surest
means, United States Department of
Agriculture poultry specialists say, is
to use the turkey hen and give her
proper management. Turkey hens are
close sitters and viii cover, so there
will be 10 danger of chilling, from -
TO Is eggs, depending on the size Of
tie hen.
Nests for setting turkey and chick
en- hens are best made on the ground
by following out a little earth, SO that
the center is deep enough to keep the
eggs from rolling out Of the nest. A
thin covering Of clean straw or hay
can then be used TO prevent the eggs
from being directly on the ground,
and a large, roOmy coop should be
placed over the nest to keep the hen
from being disturbed. When a num-
Der of hens are to be set. long row
Of nests can easily be made on the

partitions If this is done care must

come off the nests each returns to the
right one instead of crowding into a
nest with another hen and leaving
some of the eggs to become chilled.
With only a few hens it is better to
set them some distance apart, as they
viii then require less attention.
When Hens in Earnest.
When a hen becomes broody and
shows that she IS earnest by remain
ing on her nest for two or three
nights. she may safely be trusted with
the eggs. provided she is allowed to
sit in that nest If she is to be set in
another nest. as is usually the case
then she should be removed to the
new nest, preferably after dark, given
a few nest eggs, and shut in to pre-
vent her from returning to the old
one. If she sits quietly on the nest
eggs she should be taken off on the
evening Of the following day, and the
eggs to be incubated placed in the
nest. On being freed, she probably
will return to her old nest; if so, she
should be carried back and set quiet

BEST TIME TO CUT C0WPEAS
Most Desirable Quality of Hay Pro-
duced if Cut When Pods Are Full
Grown and Matured.

As a rule cowpeas should not be
cut for hay before the pods begin to
turn yellow. The best quality is pro-
duced and the hay cures most readily
if the vines are cut when most of the
pods are full grown and a consider
able number of them are mature. At
that stage of growth none of the best
hay varieties will have dropped their
leaves and the plants will have prac-
tically attained their full growth.

died in this manner until on being let
off she returns to the new nest rather
than to the old one. 1t sometimes
takes only two or three days, and sell
dom more than a week, to break
hen from returning to her old nest.
Turkey hens do not ordinarily come
off for feed and water more than once
every two or three days. but when
confined they should have a chance to
come off every day. Occasionally a
turkey hen does not come off at all,
and in such case she should be taken
off once day, as otherwise she viii
die on the nest.
on coming off her nest the first
thing a turkey hen does is to stretch
her wings. step gingerly for a few
steps. and then she often takes a
running start and flies for short dis
lance. Exercise of this sort helps
greatly to keep a sitting hen in good
condition. and for this reason it is not
well TO cOnfine her to a small space.
A dust bath is greatly enjoyed by sit
ting hens, and helps to keep them
free from vermin. Whole corn is a
good feed, and fresh water and grit
should always be accessible.
Lice are a great annoyance to sit
ting hens, and are one of the worst
enemies of young pOults. To prevent
their getting a start. the hen should
be busted thoroughly with sodium
fiuOride or some good lice powder be
fore she is placed on the nest. The
nesting material should be kept clean,
and if the eggs become dirty they
should be washed with 4 soft cloth
dipped in lukewarm water. Just be-
fore the poults are to hatch, the old
nesting material should be replaced
with clean straw.

cARUso's PERFECT SINGING

DR.. William Lloyd, throat special
list, who for many years treated Ca
russo, writes to the Daily Mail that,
comparing him with other singers, he
found the following characteristics Of
the great singing machine:
1.-THE most striking feature was the
great length of the vocal tube; the
distance from the teeth to the vocal
cords in Caruso was at least half an
inch more than in any other great
tenor | have examined
"A second point was the length of
the vocal cords, on whose length,
breadth and thickness the pitch of
the voice largely depends. The aver
age length of the relaxed vocal cords
in a man is 10 millimeter (about ga
inch). Caruso's vocal cords were
1-6 inch longer than those Of any
other tenor | have seen.
"The capacity for vibration of the
vocal cords is another more important
factor, for the higher the note the
more rapid must be the vibration. Ca
russo when singing his wonderful
chest c sharp reached the phenomenal
vibration for a man of $50 per sec
Ond
"Caruso's whole body seemed to
have more average romance and one
1f the great secrets of his wonder
'ul voice was the formation of the
,piglottis, which was thick at the
,ase, as in bassos, but exquisitely
inc and delicate at the free end, The
,ower of his voice was so great that
he often fractured glasses in my
onsulting room by singing their fun
amental notes at the Orifice."

ROTARY AGAINST GAMBLING

LAUREL. Miss. Sept. 1.-THE
Laurel Rotary Club today went on
record against gambling devices on
the midway Of the South Mississippi
Fair, which is owned by the city of
Laurel, and instructed its amusement
committee to enter a strong protest
with the manager of the fair against
a repetition Of last years midway at
fractions. Like most other fairs, the
South Mississippi Fair has hereto
fore permitted wheels Of fortune,
knife Jacks, shooting galleries and
other attractions Of like nature on
the midway, but there is a strong
sentiment in favor of an absolutely
clean fair and tie fact that the fair
is owned by the municipality of Lau-
rel has stimulated this sentiment, as
most citizens take the position that
they are partners in the enterprise.

CREENBACKS OF DIFFERENT
DESIGN

WASHINGTON, Sept. l7.-The
government viii soon radically change
the form of its paper money, which
has remained unaltered almost since
the foundation of the republic. This
was learned today from Treasury de-
partment officials directing the plan.
Several reasons dictate the change,
it is stated First, is that Of econo-
my. The paper which is now used
because Of a secret process in the
possession Of the Crane paper mills
of Dalton, Mass, is only obtainable
at high cost.
The process, which was perfected
under the direction Of Former Sena-
tor w. Murray Crane, late owner of
the mills, is said to weave silk threads
in the paper in such a manner as to
defy successful imitation.
Needless to say the cost is high
and the new plans are TO secure five
notes from a sheet instead of four
as at present. This, at least, will
be the rule in the case of bills in
small denominations which constitute
the most numerous issues.
Another reason for the change as
explained by high treasury official,
is wholly practical. He said:
"The bills now in circulation are
really adapted only to persons of
long hands and long fingers. A short
err and smaller note will be more east
" counted by tellers, cashiers and all
who have to handle large sums of
money.
81 believe the change will work
great economy and serve a useful
purpose as we'll"
Additional safeguards against coun-
constitute another reason
or the decision to issue new notes.
While it has not been definitely de-
ided the suggestion is beng consider
d that bills of different denomina |
ions be issued in varying sizes. I
Such a scheme, it is pointed out, /
II make it impossible to raise 81 !
ote to a $40 or 5000 one as has c
cen successfully accomplished in d
ne past.
The complete revision of the plates
lade necessary by the change will al
, afford an opportunity to introduce h
against counterfeitlng :
hich have been recently developed,
fficials explained. II
Other changes contemplated are the
Sc of distinctive backs for such de-
1mination of all issues and the plac-

ing Of the legends by law on the face
Of the notes and not on the back as
at present
To foreigners who do not read
English the decision to indicate de-
nominations in large colored numer-
ais will be welcomed change and it
will also be probably approved by
banks and business houses it is be-
lieved.
