IT ALWAYS CAN BE DONE.

Great benefactors of the human race do not
always have their names thrown to the world
in mammoth electric signs. Yet it seems fitting
enough that q record should be preserved of
those who take the trouble to meet and solve
other minor problems.
There Is a man, his names happens I'd be H.
A. Jahnke. who devoted his time and energy
to removing the noises from steam heating
systems. and with success. Surely an achieve
ment to be remembered. How many folks,
quietly reading the evening paper, have had
their marrow chilled BY the click or rumble
from the pipes? How many ~janitors have been
summoned and berated ,(futilely) for the
spooky rattle from the heating apparatus. It
is just one Of those darned nuisances with
which the average man feels himself unable to
cope and so burrenders himself to exaspera-
ton.
This patriotic man says when the steam
pipes talk you should listen to what they say.
and then answer them by removing the cause of
speech. And he adds that this always-not
occasionally-but always, can be done. So he
himself goes around listening carefully and
diagnosing the melancholic utterances Of steam
heat and renders'it mute. When the know
ledge Of how to do this spreads, one mere an
noyance Of life will be removeda And to how
many such annoyances is the daily temper sub
ordinate and life itself affected!

The Argus feels that the Rosenheld-Hop
company, owners Of the Fort Armstrong.
Spencer Square and Majestic moving picture
houses, deserve to be Congratulated by the
people Of Rock island for the enterprise they

The working of the commission, it was

tuberculosis Is the worst disease
of chickens, say Drs. L. c. Kigfn and
G. FL. Roberts Of the veterinary de-
partment Of Purdue university. Cattle
are the source of much Of the infec-
ton, spreading the disease through
milk and the grain in droppings. The
disease is so destructive that 1t may
wipe out the entire flock In one sea-
son. If the flock is known to be
tubercular, the birds should be dis
posed of so as not to spread the in
fection to other flocks. All birds
should be killed and their carcasses
burned. The apparently healthy
Birds could be used for human food
if the carcasses were inspected by
someone able to detect the tubercular
condition. After the diseased flock
has been removed. the houses and
yards should be thoroughly cleaned

SOIL-IMPROVING CROP FOR USE
IN PECAN ORCHARDS is NEEDED

prepared by the United States Departm en-.
Of Agriculture)
Many important problems In grow
ing and marketing pecans are confront
ing the growers.
Until recently the most experienced
growers of pecans have considered
the ,Owpea to be an excellent summer
cover crop for use In their orchards,
but, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 1t has been found
that this crop Is favorite host plant
or crop for the southern green plant
bug or stink bug" which attacks the
immature nuts and by perforating the
soft shell with Its proboscis, reaches
and Injuries the tender kernel. With
the subsequent growth and develop
ment OF the nuts there arise at the
points Of perforation definite areas of
deadened tissue In the kernel, possess
Ing bitter or acrid taste, and COM
monty designated as "kernel spot. "
Large quantities of the finest nuts were
greatly reduced in consequence. A
substitute soil-improving crop for
growing In pecan orchards Is there
fore needed. Among the promising
things are beggarweed. bush velvet
bean and soy bean. So far as Is known
the beggarweed is not host plant for
the bug and the bush velvet bean and
the soy bean are not supposed to be
attacked by this insect. Bush velvet
beans are Increasing In popularity as
a cover crop In this section and may

be the solution Of the problem. AS yet,
there is little practical experience In
determining the suitability OF these
cover crops in pecan orchards AMI
their Gficiency In controlling the "stink
bug" Orchardists Vno use either bush
velvet beans or soy beans as cover
crops should carefully inspect their
crops at the end of the season to de-
termine whether the percentage OF
nuts with kernel spot Is satisfactorily
reduced on the areas In which these
crops are grown in comparison with
the same variety where no cover crops
are used. These are important PROB
lens on which the growers themselves
can assist In securing Trustworthy In
formation.
Plan to Destroy "stink Bug"
1t has been suggested that the stink
bug" feeds only on seed pods. II this
is true, crops, such as the velvet bean,
which are late In maturing seed pods,
could be grown for summer cover
crop and turned under or cut up with
disk harrows in early October before
the pecan Is ready to harvest. In thia
way the insect probably would be de-
stroyed and the ground left in good
condition for the nut harvest. Growers
and experimenters are expecting to
obtain valuable Information on these
crops during the coming season.
Another important problem Is that
Of unproductive orchards. Some OF
these orchards were planted on very
Door soil, and for the worst OF these
the only apparent alternative Is that
of abandonment. Other orchards do
not produce we'll because the trees
were planted too close together, ana
are now badly crowded. For these II
appears that the most effective REM
edy would be that Of removing the

alternate trees. pruning those remain
ing. and OF improving the fertility Of
the soil. For orchards composed of
seeding trees, or inferior varieties,
top-wOrking Is the solution.
To Build Up Industry.
In large outlying districts within the
pecan range, yet beyond the limits OF
successful culture of southern varie-
ties, the question Is how to build up
the orcharding industry, and how to
the species Is indigenous the first Ques-
ton is that of finding new varieties
suitable for planting. The native for
est and field specimens should be ex-
amined for trees bearing desirable nuts
In sufficient quantity to be profitable.
Scions from such trees should be used
for top-working the inferior seedlings.
Small wild seedlings can be worked
over to desirable sorts by customary
nursery methods. Some common mis-
takes made in attempting to top-work
trees are: Using those that are too
old; cutting off branches that are too
large; pruning too severely at the out
set, thus attempting to do too much
in single season: top-working trees
planted too close together. and top
working trees standing in out-of-the-
way places where 1t will never be pos
sible to give them good care.

industry should help the pecan into a
