at enormous prices to examine the

Churches and schools are passed

My, my, isn't it all a big mess!
The appropriations are obliged to

I will add one other line. The

The drivers are growing bolder and

son IN LAW Of
CARNEGIE TEACHING
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK." Society? Say,
never did go in for that racket. Of
course, I'd rather have a job. That's
why I've got one"
This is the answer Roswell Mil
Ter, son-in-Iaw of the late Andrew
Carnegie, gives to those who won
der why he recently accepted an
instructorship in the engineering
department of New York univer-
sity at a salary that approximates
So 900 a year.
The interview, the first Miller
has given since he married Mar
garet Carnegie sole heiress to the
Carnegie millions in 1919, was held
in the university office Miller shares
with a professor in his department.
Wife Likes His Job
"Sure, my wife likes my job" he
declared. "She thinks just as I do,
that teaching is good work. And
she believes, too, that everybody
ought to have job. How can you
enjoy your days off if you don't
work the rest of the time?
II would almost say that teach
ing is duty--only that's not why
l do it. 1 just like it, that's all.
Teachers ought to be better paid,
though. They have to keep up
good front on mighty little salary.
Il like the fellows in my classes.
They don't think of me as an heir
ess' husband or anything like that.
They just take me for what I am
an instructor who is teaching his
first term.
Maybe it would have been more
difficult to get people to take me at
face value in most places. A uni
Versity is a little different. But then,
can't really say about other places,
because 1 never worked anywhere
else"
Liking Your Job
1t is said that J. P. Morgan,
Charles Schwab and other powers
in the financial world made Miller
attractive offers when he was dis
charged from the navy after the
war. Miller neither affirms nor de-
MES this.
mo matter how good an offer
was, though" he insists, II wouldn't
take it unless 1 could really like
the work l was supposed to do. No
body ever amounted to a hill of
beans at his job unless he liked it.
THE university authorities didn't
offer me this job. by the way. 1
heard there was a place open and
asked for it. 1 was pretty lucky to
get it, too, 1 guess. Lots of people
are out of work these days. It's
tough I tell you. Nearly every day
somebody asks me to help him find

In connection with the recent

theory which, one must admit, fits

Blight i'm Pear and Apple Trees
c. J. F., Ball Ground, Ga,
writes: I wish to know what to
do for pear and apple trees to
cure them of blight. have some
young trees beginning to bear
and the twigs and limbs have
turned black.
There is nothing which can be
done to cure pear and apple blight.
I am sorry that I can not give you
more cheerful information on this
subject. The blight in question can
be controlled to large extent, how
ever, by the following procedure:
All twigs, as soon as they show evil
dences of infection, should be cut out
below the point where the blight &C.
ours. Have a strong disinfecting So
luton with you, and as each twig
or limb is cut off dip the knife or
shears into this solution. Be care
full to gather up all the twigs and
branches and burn them. Do not
handle them in manner which will
cause the leaves of affected portions
to scatter about. You are trying to
gather up the cause of the disease
and burn it. No other method of
disposing of the twigs and branches
is SO effective.
This matter Of blight in apples
and pears has been investigated for
several years. Some seasons it is
worse than others, and some varie-
ties are much more subject to it.
About the only variety Of pear that
seems practically immune to it is
the Keiffer, but this produces such
an undesirable fruit that it is of lit
tie value for cultivation. In spite
of all the scientists have been able
to do little progress has been made
in the control of this disease. I
have given you practically all the
advice extant on this subject at the
present time

| bucket spray pump is satisfactory
for this purpose. 1t should have a
ten to twelve-foot hose attached,
which is supplied with a good noz'
zle. Thinning carbolineum by adding
one part of kerosene to two parts OF
carbolineum is an advantage. This
| timing enables the material to be
applied more readily and effectively.
In spraying it is of the utmost i'm
portance that every part OF the
house be reached. 1t is particularly
desirable that the spray be driven
with force into every opening, crack
or creyice. It is desirable, II prac'
ticable, to keep the chickens out OF
the house for one night after treat
ment. The number of treat
ments which will be necessary will
depend a good deal on the construc-
ton of the building. In tightly con-
structed house possibly one spray
ing will be sufficient. AZ repetition OF
the treatment in about thirty days
is often desirable. In cases OF bad
infestation several treatments TWEEN
ty to thirty days apart may be
necessary.
Much can be done to mitigate the
damage done by this pest success
| fully if the roosts are properly con-
structed. To this end the roosts
should be set up on posts say eight
cen to twenty-four inches above the
ground. Narrow cross pieces should
be attached to these and then mar
row roosts placed thereon. Inc
ability to remove the roosts readllY
and cleanse them thoroughly is a
most important and desirable end to
keep in view.
The cost of the treatment need
| not be excessive. Most farms now
| possess a bucket pump. One Will be
| found a good investment and can pe
used advantageously for many pur'
poses in and about the farm. Inc
materials used as a spray will COST
from 81 to $3.50 a gallon. The
amount of material to use depends
of course, on the size OF the oulla,
ing. Four or five gallons would
probably be sufficient for the aver
age house.
1t is naturally much easier TO
keep ones premises free from this
pest than to get rid of it after in
festation occurs. On that account
it is of the utmost importance that
the chicken houses be sprayed &C.
casionally and kept in thoroughly
sanitary condition at all times. Tick.
proof houses can also be built out OF
metal. Concrete floors and tight
joints, of course, must also be pro-
vided. A concrete house properly
built would probably be as effective
as the use of a superstructure OF
metal. 1t would be difficult to make
a wooden house tick proof.
Naturally a great number OF RENE
dies have been suggested for the
control and eradication of this pest
that have proven ineffective. Those
mentioned are the most satisfactory
which have been discovered and utll-
lied for this purpose up to date.

Oats in Alfalfa

Oats in Alfalfa
c. r. S., Macon, Ga, writes:
I nave six acres in alfalfa,
planted last fall. I put "a loads
of compost on, and there must
have been some oats left in it
as l have a fine crop of oats that
have headed out. The alfalfa
does not seem to be as large as
it should and looks weak. Would
you advise cutting the oats IN
the dough stage or getting them
off right away? What about
broadcasting some nitrate of
soda over the alfalfa, and how
much? There is also broad
leafed weed scattered over the
patch. Would you advise hav-
ing this taken out or will the
alfalfa smother it?
In your situation 1 would cut the
oats Immediately, as they are sap
ping a great deal of moisture out OF
the land which the alfalfa crop
should have for its use. They are
also growing at such rank and Wig
orous rate that they are holding the
of the alfalfa in check.
You can cut these oats and rake
them off the land and use them for
soiling purposes. They would not
make quite as good hay, of course
as if left in the field until they pass
the dough stage, but still they will
make an acceptable hay, though it
will be somewhat more difficult to
cure than where the crop nearly
ripens before it. is cut.
AS soon as you have the oats off
the land, then I think it would be
good practice to put on some nitrate
of soda. l would not hesitate to ap
ply SO pounds per acre. Put this on
when the plants are dry so that the
soda will not burn the leaves. Then
take a weeder or some other light
implement and work it into the
ground. This is not for the purpose
of burying the nitrate of soda Sc
much as stirring the soil and helpinl
preserve a dust mulch. Before run
ming the weeder over the land we
advise securing earth from a field
where alfalfa has been grown sue
cessfully for several years past ant
scattering it over the surface of the
ground on the basis of 500 pounds
per acre. This will help secure 6
more complete incubation of the al
falfa than seems to be evidence &C
