Questions and Answers

Q. My cornfield beans grow for a while, then some seem to die from root or stem rot while others rust or die just as they begin to bear. What can be done to correct
 2. Our ferns become spotted. fol- iage drops, leaving stems bare. What would be the remedy2
 3. My tomatoes are dying of blight. How can l save my late crop7 E. M. R. F. D. 2.
 A. CD Beans must be diseased with anthraenose, the most serious dis ease of beans, and the infection may be carried by the seed. Spraying of the young plants at 10 or 15-dfy in- tervals with Bordeaux mixture or lime-sulphur, reduced to proper strength, will insure a crop
 (2)Leaf spot on ferns may also be controlled with bordeaux or lime. sulphur. Equal parts of common sul- phur and finely sifted lime Gusted on booth sides of foliage at Is to 20- day intervals will generally correct leaf spot on ferns. Your ferns could have the same disease as beans.
 (S) If 1t is real leaf blight both. ering your tomatoes, the same treat- ment here recommended for beans will correct the trouble. But if it's the prevailing wilt, caused from root disease, the treatment would Tot be a specific cure, because the trouble is produced by tiny root worms that bore into the roots and soil must be treated before planting.
 Q. In mixing commercial acid phosphate with nitrate of soda for garden. fertilizer, what proportion should be used? M. J.. R. F. D. 5.
 A. Use five to six pounds of phos- phate to one pound of nitrate of soda. This formula should be -ncor- porated in the soil. A little nitrate alone might be applied a month or so later as a side dressing to grow ing plants.
 0. At what stage of growth dc you harvest hot green peppers for piclsling7 Mrs. J., Altoona.
 A. Hot pepper becomes hotter as 1t approaches maturity and 1t would de- pend on how hot you preferred the pickles. Pods. just as they fully de- velop and before they begin to har- den, is the best period. Then the pickles are more tender, succulent and not so pungent.
 c. Can egg plant be dried in the sun and kept for winter use? Mrs G., Winfield, Ala.
 A. Select fruit in edible condition slice thin and spread on cloth in hot sun. Don't let 1t get wet and take in at night to avoid dews. Keep up the sun drying until firm and al

 Public hearing. 1t was contended by the commission, would further tend to disrupt the morale of the or ganization, which was the basis of refusing the further discussion of the case. although both men actual ly pleaded with the commission to press Commissioner Cloe for the cause he said was responsible for their discharge.

 A. The explanation is that you have used too much nitrogen in your soil and an evident deficiency In pot ash and phosphates exist Peppers like rich soil, but 1t must be properly ! balanced with phosphates, nitrogen and potash, otherwise surplus growth is made to the dstriment of fruit. Nothing could be done this late. believe your plants will yet fruit but will be late in doing so.
 o. What Is the best formula you know of to kill potato bugs on fall potatoes? I have planted a crop and want to be ready. A. G., Hance- vile, Ala.
 A. Mix one pound dry Bordeaux powder. two pounds arsenate lead l ana oU pOunQS llnely StlLcu alr Sldkeu or hydrated lime. Dust plants when six inches high or sooner If bugs are noted and repeat at ten-day intervals, This will kill insects and 1 prevent blight.
 0. I have been told that in water ing begonias, water should be kept off the foliage. Is this true? Miss E B.
 A. This only applies to the very tender types, mostly grown in green houses. With such types it's best not to wet their foliage too frequently. c. My hanging baskets have played out, plants through bloom ing and unsightly. What could I put in them now that would be handsome and lasting? Mrs. S.. Ensley, Ala. A. One of the most. satisfactory plants that you could now use would be asparagus sprengeri fern. FIJI the basket entirely with small plants of this fern. They will last almost indefinitely and afford a splendid effect.
 Q. I want to grow pyrethrums for These come up from roots every year. What sort and when would you plant? Mrs. M. P.
 A. Pyrethrums or colored pereni- l ial daisies should be planted in Au- gust to flower the following spring and summer. You can. buy seed of doubles and singles. They are per fectly hardly and will stand out all

Filibuster One Hundred Per Cent Efficient

by a conference attended by Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts. the Republic
can leader; Senator Curtis of Kansas,
the Republican whip, and Senator
Shortridge of California. in charge OF
the Dyer bill, who had been. unmoy-
able throughout the filibuster.
The final decision, however, was to
direct Senator Lodge to inform the
Democratic leaders that the bill would
be pushed no further, either at the
special session or the regular session
Senator Lodge made the following
statement on TIE Republican decision:
THE situation before us was this:
Under the rules of the senate, the
Democrats who were filibustering
could have kept up the fiIibuster in
definitely and there is no doubt that
they would have done so. An attempt
to change the rules would only have
shifted the filibuster TO another sub
iect. We cannot pass the bill in this
congress and therefore we had to
choose between giving up the whole
session to protracted filibuster or
going ahead with the regular business,
which includes farm legislation, the
shipping and appropriation bills"

conviction, be punished by fine not

exceeding six months, or both such
fine and Imprisonment"
1t appears from a statement by Sec
rotary. Weeks that the patent on the
design of the congressional medal of
honor expired BY limitation November
81, 1918, and the design is now subject
to public use. The designs of the dis
tinguished service cross. distinguished
service medal, and the service medals
awarded for service in various wars
are not protected by patent. Secretary
Weeks adds:
IF the decorations of honor and the
service medals awarded by the war
department are to continue to serve
the high purpose, for which they are
intended, they are worthy of being
protected. Since there is no provision
of law applicable for the further
patent protection of the design of the
congressional medal of honor, and
since such patent protection of the
design of the distinguished service
cross, distinguished service medal, and
service medals would afford only tenn
porary relief, ii is suggested that suit
able legislative action be initiated for
the protection of the design of the
decorations in question"

cause of its Importance he thought an
explanation should be placed on the
record of the senate before 1t was
passed. Senator Nelson then said:
.The evidence before the committee
was submitted in the form of the GER
tificates of four prominent physicians.
Those certificates indicate that Justice
Pitney Is suffering, first, from a hard
ening of the arteries; second, from
Bright's disease; and, third, that he
has had stroke Of apoplexy. Every
thing indicates that he is incapacitated
and will be ineapacitated for perform
ing any such labor as is required of a
justice of the Supreme court"
1t appears from the certificates that
Justice Pitney suffered a slight stroke
August 10 last. from which he has
partly rallied. DR.. George H. Lathrope
