ton that 1t may quickly be turned
from fertilizer manufacture to the
production of explosives"
This part of the country had a
shock when the plant cut down it's
force, city of about ten thousand
people who depended almost entire
ly on the surrounding country for
vegetables, eggs and poultry meant
decided increase in the fields of
pork and the poultry supplies. Many
people put in five times as much
as when they catered only to the
markets of Sheffield and T-scum-
bia. Men were cut off the pay roll,
many of them owing the peddlers,
and they in turn owing the farm;
ers. A big three-story house could
not hold the secondhand furniture
that was dumped on one of the in
stallment furniture houses. That put
them in a hard position and 1t is
wonder to me that there were not
scores of business failures. Every
credit house lost some, and the
most of the people who were in
debt had nothing to show for their
labor.
If this big city is again brought
to, life do you suppose the. people
mean, do you think they will learn
a lesson from the past and put
aside money for a rainy day? AS
long as the world lasts there will
be the two classes, ants and grass
hoppers, and the Salvation Army,
the Red Cross and the charity and
help department of every church
will continue to make plans to take
care of them in sickness and abb
ject poverty.
The bargain hunter that the pa
pers make so much sport of, failed
to buy money when it was cheap.
That would have good sense, and
when prosperity again comes to
our land how many of them will
remember their conservation les
sons? L read in a late paper that
this country in such a flood that
the bankers are embarrassed with
it's volume. I also read in this good
paper of ours that there are one
hundred and seventeen families to
every one hundred homes in the
United States. 1 studied the hous-
ing problem in some of our cities
several years ago and found things
in deplorable condition. 1t is not
confined to any one section of the
country, nor to crowded cities. Plen-
ty of big families in the country
live in one room. In pioneer days
that may have been a necessity, but
such is not the case noW--absentee
landlords and pure unadulterated
sons. Are you in one Of these
classes? If SO get out of it. Only
thirteen women in every hundred,
living in the country, have a vaca-
ton. Then please give them rooms
enough to move about without
knocking over the pile of freshly
ironed clothes.

1 suppose that every farmer, in
the south at any rate, is interested
in the resumption of work at the
great dam that is half done and
left while the politicians wrangle
over it. AS soon as it was known
that Henry Ford had made bid
then it became known that seven
other big industries were waiting
for it to appear dead to the Ameri-
can tax payer and this bunch of har-
pies were ready to pounce down
and grab the remains and fatten off
of them. Propaganda was scattered
broadcast that the whole thing was
a gigantic mistake and that the
nations money had been criminally
wasted. When the great Roosevelt

He proposes to buy outright all
the nitrate plants and equipment
for 100000.
Mr., Ford is a successful business
man. He has handled millions OF
dollars where the average politician
has handled dimes and he can see
his way clear to make an offer of
five million cash and to pay one
million five hundred thousand a
year for one hundred years and then
make money. He pledges himself to
keep the works in such shape that
the government can use the nitrate
plant if it is needed. Get out your

THE WILT DISEASE OF THE
TOMATO
G. T. S., Talona, Ga, writes:
My tomatoes grew off and did
fine until they were blooming and
had small tomatoes on them'
when they began to wilt and die.
Can you tell me what is the
cause of the trouble and some
thing that will stop it?
The wilt of the tomato is a COM
mon disease throughout the length
and breadth of this state. 1t is pre-
sumed to arise from bacterial infec-
ton that may be resident in the soil
as result of tomatoes having been
planted on the land In previous years
and which suffered from the same
disease. When this infection estab-
fishes itself in the land it seems to
maintain itself therein successfully
and for considerable period of time.
We should therefore never grow to-
matoes after tomatoes.
One of the best ways of fighting
this trouble is through the planting
Of wilt resistant strains. Crop rota-
ton, as already mentioned, is also OF
great advantage. All diseased plants
should be pulled up and burned. Dc
not throw them on litter heap or
mix them with the manure which
may be accommodating from the sta
BILE. The fact of the matter is, this
disease has been transferred from
one field to another largely. through
infestation from harnyard litter as a
result of throwing diseased plants on
the trash heaps which accumulate
around barns.
There is no remedy we can offer
which is likely to prove of service to
you at this time. I have had some
trouble of the character mentioned
myself, and I pull UP and burn or
destroy effectively the plants immedi-
ately they show evidence of disease.
In this way have been able to keep
two-thirds Of a stand in my garden
and to raise a very considerable num-
Der of tomatoes in spite of the in
festation mentioned.

Lacked Precise Information
Now the conference has been agreed
to by every one. Not matchhead
has been inflamed. Every sharp cor
ner has been rounded. But just
little less care on the part of the
secretary. of state in selecting ms
words might conceivably have made
trouble. There were some very ten
der national sensibilities involved.
The old reporters here look back at
Mr.. Hughes predecessors, or some
of them. Mr.. Bryan did not know
or care much about the. work OF ms
department. Mr.. Lansing was re-
pressed. Mr.. Colby had hardly warm
ed to his job before the ak fell. News
Of our international relations was
secured then from other offices in
the state department, sometimes, ana
from embassies, and propag2ndlsts
and lunches and cable dispatches. A
dozen instances were recalled when
reporters, with the best intentions in
the world, had stepped on the inter
national matchhead through their
failure to be precise-Or through
formation. Nowadays it is differ
ent.
Japan assented to the disarmament
conference. But she did not express
herself on the proposition to discuss
the problems of the Pacific, on which,
after all, the plan to disarm is based.
Unless they can be solved by q
friendly mutual agreement we might
as we'll get ready to sell the old
farm and buy a few more Warships.
Whether war comes or not, the pos
sibility that war might come is in
the offing. But the reporters who
attended the conference at the de-
partment of state in which the re-
ply of Japan was discussed did not
come away with any explosive theo-
ries ready to illuminate. Or, if they
did, they erected those theories
themselves. What they learned
thanks to a selection of words, the
extreme delicacy of which could only
be measured by a micrometer-was
merely that Japan had said nothing
whatever about the plan to talk over
her own affairs in the Pacific. Moth
ing else. That's all there was. There
wasn't any more.
Secretary Enjoys Himself
The funny part is that while Mr..
Hughes is discussing these affairs
with the reporters he seems to enjoy
himself. His eyes shine His teeth
glisten. His well-trimmed beard
seems to ripple with happiness. He
