The rector Of the university made speech.
The Minister of Public instruction made
speech. Monsieur Alexandra Millerand looked
politely attentive. There was frock-coated
handclapping. The band struck up a march
in double time and the President left the
garden alorg the hedge of students. The illus-
trious crowd stream I'd after him, like any other
crowd into the twisted streets of Montpelier
Out of the sixty years of his life, Rabelais
spent only two in this place, and yet it is the
town of all France which best preserves his
memories. Not only are the houses and high
ways almost unchanged, but the citizens them
selves still the gay and sunny folk that
he described. They still drink deeply of the
wines he loved. And they remember him.
They have named boulevard in his honor.
At the medical school, under lock and key,
they still preserve the robe he wore the day
he became doctor. One can still wind along
the Street Of the Needemakers, which re-
senlbles nothing much as a set out of DIR.

morning. One seems to be almost living in
his shadow.
A few days after his arrival in Montpelier
there was an execution, and the medical school
bought the body for 10 cents. Rabelais at
tended the dissection. The professor, in his
red robe and square bonnet, carved and lee
tured till midnight by the smoking candles,
while incense was burned to kill the odor and
wine was poured cut
One can follow Rabelais, few days later,
in torchlight procession with the other stu
dents to their banquet in the old inn At the
Sign Of the Stump. The building still stands.
For about fifty Of them the following meats
were served: Sausages, chickens, five legs and
tsn shoulders of mutton, sucking pigs rabbits,
partridges, roast capon. For dessert cheese,
cakes, chestnuts, fruits and several kinds of
wine. The cost of the whole was 21a cents
apiece, for which one could now buy two and
a half olives in Montpelier. There was sup
plement for broken glasses.

DESTROY PEACH TREE BORER
Fine Crystals Of observation-disclosures
Sprinkled Around Base Of Trees
Is Efficient.

The horticulturists OF the United
States Department of Agriculture
have found new agent for the eradi-
cation of the destructive peach tree
borer which has done $6,000,000 dam
age annually. The most effective
remedy known heretofore has been to
dig the larvae out Of the trunks Of the
trees or to kill them. with long sharp
wire. The new treatment consists of
sprinklirg crystals of para-dichloro-
benzene around the base of the trees
and covering slightly with earth. The
substance is highly volatile, readily
changing to gas which Is heavier
than air and settles down through the
soil. The gas is an effective destroyer
of the pest. The observation-disclosures
can be obtained ut any drug store. A
pound Is sufficient for eight or ten
trees and costs only about % cents.

! Potatoes.
ducing bigger potato yields, the United
States Department of Agriculture has
recently published Farmers Bulletin
| 100, "How to Grow an Acre of Pota-
toes" 1t is prepared especially for
use in boys and girls club work, and
every step from the selection of the
potato soil to the harvesting, grading
and storing of the crop is discussed.
Best Potato Soils.
Gravelly or sandy loan soils are gen.
orally considered especially well
adapted to the production of large
crops of potatoes, provided they are
well drained and well supplied with
plant food, says the bulletin. A very
light sandy soil or stiff clay soil
should be avoided. The ideal soil is
one that does not run together with
rains, that works easily, is well sup
piled with humus, and, while we'll
drained, is naturally supplied with
mois ure. Glover and alfalfa are re-
garded as the best preparatory crops
for potatoes.
Prepare the Land Thoroughly.
Potato soils should be plowed as
deeply as possible, but always remem-
Der not to turn up more than an inch
of the subsoil. The fall is the best
season to pillow. When the land is
plowed at this time it should be disked
and narrowed as early In the spring
as possible to conserve the moisture
| and to prevent weed growth. Spring
plowed land should be disked immedi-
ately, in order to prevent the possible
packing Of the newly turned SOIL In
preparing the seed bed spare no pains
to put II in good condition. If the
crop is planted on land that is poorly
prepared, no amount of subsequent
cultivation will entirely remedy the
| defeat
Select the variety that Is known to
be adapted to the section. Use the
best seed obtainable, and, If possible.
make sure that Il has been produced
from strong, heakhy plants that have
developed a goodly number Of tubers
Of even marketable size and uniform
shape. Before planting, the seed should
he disinfected with formalin solution
TO prevent potato scab. Better yields
are obtained by the use of from IL to
1S bushels Of seed per acre. though
the average for the United States is
SO bushels. Cut blocky seed pieces,
weighing from one to two ounces each.
After planting, keep the surface of
the ground loose until the plants up
pear, then deep cultivation should be-
gin, but as' the crop develops shallow
tillage is recommended. Insects and
diseases should never be allowed to
get established, but should be con-
trolled by suitable fungicides and in
secticdes such as are described In the
bulletin. When the crop Is being har-
! vested, systematic effort should be
made to select desirable tubers for
next years seed.

having considerable amounts Of sedi-
ment (15-20-50 fOrmula) was less de-
structive to the eggs but the young
psyllas which Matched for the most
part failed to reach the opening buds
and these succumbed to the action of
the sediment which became attached
to their bodies after leaving the egg
shells.
While the adult psyllas seem to
prefer to spend the winter under the
loose bark of the trees. they may
seek shelter under any waste which
affords protection. Matted weeds,
tufts Of grass, leaves, or rubbish on
or about the trees present ideal hid
ing places for the insects.
The rough bark not only provides
a shelter for the psyllas during the
winter but 1t also constitutes the chief
obstacle to thorough spraying during
the dormant season to kill the hiber-
mating flies. It's removal is desirable
for two reasons: first. to render the
trees less attractive for the purposes
of Information during late fall, win
ter and early spring; and, second. to
facilitate more thorough spraying
Of the trunks and lower portions of
the larger limbs. The loose bark
should be removed by dull hoe or
floor scraper, preferably during a
wet period, as the bark is then more
easily detached. Care should be taken
not to cut into the live tissues as the
wounds may become infested with
disease. The bark should be collect
ed and burned to kill the insects
which are attached to the scrapings.
The chief factors which make for
efficient work against the alternating
psylla flies and their eggs are Q) a
knowledge on the part Of the grower
of the habits of the flies and an ac-
quaintance with the eggs; (2) an >un-
Outstanding of the conditions under
which these stages are most vulner-
able to sprays; (3) thorough work In
spraying.

HOW CAN YOU TELL your
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out If they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring Ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious Of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco. ~
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.
