Cough Syrup at Home

Pine is used in nearly all prescriptions

Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The "syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy

Pinex in pint bottle and fill up with
home made sugar syrup. Or you can
use clarified molasses, honey or corn

you can buy ready made for three times
the money. 1t is pure, good and tastes
very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of cough

THE BLACK CHAFF DISEASE
Several samples of the black chatt
disease of wheat have been found
throughout the county. This disease
was first noticed in Montana in 1918,
but had undoubtedly been present be-
fore that time. This disease is found
mostly on the chaff. AS the wheat
gets close to maturity the diseased
! chaff becomes streaked and discolored.
Long black usually parallel streaks,
which often occur the length OF the
chaff. Frequently the black streaks
are SO numerous at the upper parts OF
the chaff as to completely blacken or
discolor the tip. Black spots often
occur at the base of the chaff and up
on adjacent portions of the stalk.
The awns of bearded varieties of
wheat will sometimes be attacked by
the black chaff parasite the result be
ing more or less conspicuous dark
cOlored bands upon the Boards.
Stem and leaves also are subject TO
the attack of the black chaff par;G;lte.
When the stem is infected and the
tissues diseased, normal circulation OF
water and food substances is pre-
vented, and as a result plants thus at
fected fail to make plump gram.
Complete destruction of the green
leaf tissue often Ocur and as a con-
sequence starch manufacture by the
plant is impossible. The net result is
light or even shrivelled grain, since
in the wheat plant the starch is stored
in the seed.
From the roadside diseased wheat
field presents a light brown or rustec
appearance, which has led some farm
ers to believe that their wheat was at
tackled by the rust. Such is not the
case, the cause of the wheat disease
in question being bacillus as ex'
planned above.
LOSSES CAUSED BY hr dIrdl
