Order Pounded at Seattle

Judge . DQnheN proved an tto- qucnt speaker and his address was followed by an attentive audience. He spoke in part as follows.
 "The Fraterual Order of Eagles IS now in it's twenty-tifth year.
 sIt had its beginning in Seattle, Washington, in a group of about a dozen men who banded together for companionship and mutual helpful ness. That little group has since be come what is known as the Mother Aerie, numbering today approximate ly 1000 members. This human de- sire which held together the original group has become the inspiring motive of the haf-million men who are now members of the Order.
 Patriotism led the founder of the fraternity Co adopt the name, "Eag- les" after the Proud Bird of our Country" Naturally, the societies in which the members gathered were salled Aeries=that is, Eagles nests.
 Now if you ask any member why he has joined the Eagles, ninety-nine times out of a hundred he will tell you. with a certain approving empha- sis. For the Benefits. These are the services of the Aerie physician, the sick benefit, and the funeral bene- fl. ali of which are substantial. For the socially inclined-and the Eagles are famous for that inclination-there is also year-round program of high class entertainment and wholesome recreation. Latterly, tens of thou sands have joined the Order, also be- cause of it's championship and active leadership of the movement to esta- blish old age pensions.

The Eagles make it a practice to back actively any social welfare move ment which it is seen would eventu- ate in benefit to society generally. This broader community service in which the Eagles take keen pleasure has manifested itself to date in the enactment in all strong Eagle com munities of mothers pension laws, laws providing for workingmen' compensation for industrial disease and accident, and laws restricting child labor and establishing minimum wages and maximum hours for We men and minors.
 "The crowning achievement of this order in it's role as social benefactor, however, bids fair to be the early adoption in the strong Eagle states of laws establishing pensions for those who have toiled their due and yet found themselves at sixty-fve with out a competence in their old age. This undertaking came about in this wise. Early in 1921 subordinates and State aeries began to pass resolutions in favor of old age pensions, and in August, 1921, the Grand Aerie unani- mousiy endorsed the proposition. s30, ,O00 was appropriated to defray the expenses of years edueative campaign to inform and arouse public sentiment, and an old age pension commission of prominent members was appointed to conduct the propa- ganda.

Crispness and Tenderness
Come With Rapid Growth

To have good vegetables most of
them must grow rapidly. II they grow
slowly the leaf crops will be tough
and will get strong quickly. Crispness
and tenderness come with rapid
growth. Peas and beans are better
favored. Radishes are less pithy.
Corn is deeper and better set, and I
think the flavor is better, too.
Rich soil is prime factor in forcing
rapid growth, but It is not all. Gull
tivation to preserve the soil moisture
Is a help. Irrigation Is not much prac-
ticed but where 1t is possible 1t will
often, save crop from a severe
check In dry Spell. and these checks
make for toughness.
1t has been shown by tests that lit
tie artificial feeding will not only make
vegetables better in quality but In
many cases will keep such plants as
tomatoes setting when ordinarily they
stop In hot weather. Then shade or
partial shade will often make the leaf
crops more tender and sweet.

Poultry Manure Rich in
Nitrogen If Protected

Poultry manure is particularly rich
in nitrogen, but If not protected It rap
idly loses this valuable plantfood ele-
ment, and this means loss to the in
direct income from farm poultry which
might well be conserved for the farm.
For the garden, a farmer may bah
ance the product by taking 80 pounds
poultry manure and adding to 1t ten
pounds dry loan or absorbent. such as
peat moss or slnayings, 16 pounds
phosphoric acid and eight pounds
kainlte. The analysis Of this mixture
is IN per cent nitrogen, Az per cent

greater proportion Of poultry manure
may be used in the fertilizer, or this
mixture may be used and supplement-
ed with top dressing of nitrate Of
soda to the trucking crop. The dry
loan or the peat moss prevents the
fertilizer from becoming sticky, which
would be the case If the phosphoric
acid and kainite were mixed alone
with the droppings to prevent the es-
cape of nitrogen.

Find Morgan Horse
Versatile on Farms
Records Furnish Evidence
of It's Usefulness.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Some interesting information has
just been made public by the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
garding the registered Morgan horse
Gladstone that won second place In
the 1922 mounted service endurance
ride. Gladstone's record corrects the
impression that 1t takes years to de-
velop good saddle horse.
This horse was foaled April Is,
1913; sired by General Gates, a fa-
nous Morgan horse, and out of Min
nehaha, mare purchased by the gov
ernment In the state of Washington.
He was broken to single and double
harness when four years old and
shipped in 1917 to the government ex-
pertinent farm at Beltsville, Nd.
where he was driven 20 to 80 miles
day for several years with another
gelding. He was the first horse Sc
lected from the experiment farm to
go to the stables Of the secretary Of
agriculture in Washington, d. c., to
replace horses that had grown foot
sore from use on the city pavements.
In June, 1922, Gladstone was re-
turned to the United States Morgan
Horse farm at Middleburg, Vt, to be
prepared for the mounted service en-
durance ride. Here he was used dur.
ing haying, raking hay in the fields.
and at the close of the haying sea-
son was given his first continuous
training under the saddle. The ride
took place In October. and the little
horse carried his rider and equipment,
weighing 225 pounds, the 300 miles to
highly creditable finish. In the
final rating Gladstone was but three
points behind the winning horse.
Twenty one horses started the race
and but nine finished. Gladstone
was second and finished in ex-
cellent condition.
Within a week Gladstone was back
at work at the United States Morgan
Horse farm, where he is now being
used every day In double harness.
Gladstone is a half-brother of
Castor. the Morgan that made such
creditable showings In the endurance
contests Of 1919, 1920 and 1921.
The records made by these horses
in harness and under saddle, on the
road and at farm work, and as sue
cessful contestants in one Of the
hardest rides ever staged for saddle
horses, furnish additional evidence of
the versatility and all-round useful.
ness of the Morgan horse.

Black Raspberry
Hurt by Disease
Growers in Many Sections
Suffer Heavy Losses
From New Ailment.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
Growers of black raspberries In va
rious parts Of the United States, par
ticularly in Ohio and New York, have
been suffering discouraging losses In
many instances from a mysterious
disease, which,, for convenience is
called eastern blue-stem. During the
last few years, the United States De
partment Of Agriculture has been
studying the disease in certain local
tiles and now sums up what Is known
about 1t In Department Circular 227,
Eastern Blue-Stem of the Black Rasp-
berry, by Il. b. Wilcox.
Profits curtailed.
The disease. which Is marked by
peculiar curling Of the young leaves
and blue stripes on the canes, gradu-
ally reduces the productivity of the
plantations and kills the affected
plants In two or three years. In
some sections where raspberries have
been grown extensively for years
profits are curtailed to such an ex-
tent that farmers are not encouraged
to stay In the business and the center
of production is gradually shifting as
disease follows the new paintings.
Where investigations have been made
the infection Of fields has ranged from
0 to rs per cent, and total loss In
the northeastern part Of the country
is thought to be very large. Some
slightly infected patches have been
found in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The general effect of blue-stem is
gradual stunting of the plant, with a
reduction of the yield and dwarfing
of the berries. When affected tips
are planted they make little growth,
and the following spring they start
feebly or not at all. Often the grower
may suspect that the trouble is win
ter-killing. No recoveries have ever
been noted. If the affected parts are
cut off the disease will soon show up
In another part. Plants started by
roofing the tips of diseased plants
will always have the disease. No
bacteria or fungi have yet been found
that might be said to be the cause,
but certain features of the malady
such as the nothing and deformity
of the leaves and the stunting and
final death of the plants, indicate that
1t may be Of the mosaic type.
Diseased Tips Planted.
Blue-stem becomes established by
the planting of diseased tips, but at
the time of digging 1t Is impossible
to recognize those that carry the In
fection, and the symptoms do not ap-
pear early enough in the spring SO
that the diseased tips can be found
before they have made a growth Of
several inches. Thus far no very
resistant variety has been found. and
no spray is known to be effective.
The only practical method to get
ahead of blue-stem is to get stock
from nursery known to be free Of
1t and set as far as practicable from
diseased plantations. Young fields
must be carefully watched and plants
showing blue-stem symptoms removed
and replaced by healthy tips.
Growers interested in thorough
discussion Of the disease may get a

Thorough Study Must Be
Given Modern Beekeeping

The keeping of bees is an ancient
branch of agriculture, yet modern bee
keeping is a new thing. Many persons
still enormously think that bees work
for nothing and board themselves, and
that to keep bees he simply gets some
bees and allows them to roam where
they will. The present-day beekeep-
er controls the development Of the
colony population so as to have full
force of gathering bees at the right
time, and then prevents a division Of
this force by swarming. By these and
other methods he greatly increases the
amount Of honey gathered. The mod
ern skilled beekeeper finds bees far
more productive than did his predeces-
sors because Of his ability to change
conditions and adapt them to the nat
ural habits Of the bees.

for Many Years, and Soil 10
In Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly far
vorable, the farmers Of Western Can
ada, with the exception probably Of
Z portion Of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than for some years past. In some
parts Of Manitoba there were floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated. and left the land In good shape
for quick work and speedy germina-
don., In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With .
generous quantity of snow, which after
melting left needed moisture. and an
other snowstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an ideal condition
created. From all parts Of Alberta

ground In the condition required for
the prospects Of good crop.
Spring, as In most other parts of the
continent, was backward, but notwith-
standing this, as has been said, farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
than for some years. In fact, seeding
was practically commenced about the
18th Of April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when II is
known that several hundred miles far
ther south 1t was not possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand on the 10th Of May
state that wheat Is up above the
ground In a great many places. oats
are being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
the demand has fallen off. One fea-
ture Of the demand for farm help is
that farmers are now employing help
by the year, at of course smaller wages
than those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
the year Is evidence that farmers are
not relying solely upon wheat growing.
but are going out into other branches
such as dairying, stock raising. etc.
