Cause of Root Knot
and Way to Control
Much Damage Done Crops
by Disease of Plants.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
A serious disease of plants known
as root knot and root gall causes im-
mense damage in all except the most
northern parts of this country. says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. and attention should be di-
rected to the continued spread of this
disease In order that effective meas
ures may be adopted for its control.
Root knot is the cause of serious dam
age to many crops. The extent of the
damage is difficult to estimate, since
it is both direct and Indirect and in
many cases is overlooked entirely. The
direct damage is that caused to the
growing crops. The indirect damage
results from the fact that the pres
ence of the disease. makes it imprac-
ticable to grow certain crops which
are particularly susceptible to injury
The disease is fully discussed in a
new bulletin issued by the United
States Department Of Agriculture as
Farmers Bulletin 1916. Control meth
DDS suggested vary under different
conditions. Some crops are resistant
to the disease and these may be used
on infested soil. The disease may be
eliminated in green houses and seed
beds by the application of steam I'M
der high pressure or by the introduce
ton OF uninfested soil into clean
whitewashed benches. The home veg
etable garden of the South can very
well be brought back into productive
ness by special grain and chicken
garden rotation

secure the bulletin. while the supply

lnent Of Agriculture, Washington, D. G.

Raising Dairy Heifers
Most Economical Scheme

In view of the fact that 1t is be-
coming more difficult each year to Sc
cure the right kind of dairy stock the
most economical way for farmers to
build up a good herd is to raise the
heifers from the best cows, being care
full to have the calves sired by pure
bred dairy BULL according to the Ken
lucky College of Agriculture The
problem of feeding may be considered
from two standpoints; first, when
whole milk is sold from the farm and
skim milk is therefore not available !;
and second, when cream is sold and
skim milk is available for feeding to
Vie young animals.
Three plans may be followed by the
farmer who has market for whole
milk. The first is to give the calves a
good start on whole milk and at the
end of two months put them on hay
and grain ration. The second plan is
to give the calves whole milk for two
weeks and then change to ration OF
calf Cruel or milk substitute; the third
is to give the calves the least amount
of milk required to promote normal
growth

Profitable for Farmers
to Begin Raising Colts

That the time has arrived when the
farmer will find it profitable to begin
raising the colts which will be needed
soon to replace the old horses on his
farm, and that should he raise few
more than he needs OF the good de-
pendable draft type, they will be
readily salable at a profitable price
by the time they reach a salable age,
are outstanding conclusions drawn by
w. Fl. Peters, chief of the division Of
animal husbandry. University of Min
nesota, in Special Bulletin No. 80 en-
titled 1.-THE Colt as Profitable Farm
Product and issued by the agricul-
tural extension service. Mr.. Peters
contends it will not be long until the
purchasing power or value of horses
will start definitely upward. Old
horses are dying off much more rapidly
than colts are coming on to take their
places, he says. In this new bulletin
of 20 pages Mr. Peters not only an
aiyzes present-day problems in horse
raising, but discusses the feeding and
care of horses. Copies of the bulletin

Winter Water Supply Is
Important for Poultry

The modern hen eats balanced dry
mash for egg production, but it takes
water to wash down that mash. So it
pays to keep a galvanized pail of fresh
water near the mash hopper If the
pail is placed in a small wooden store
box just a little wider than the diam
eter of the pail, it viii not be tipped
over when the hens jump up on the
side.
If iron pals are used for winter
drinking fountains yo1 have recep-
tacle that is easy to scour and clean.
A little boiling water and q few corn
cobs will soon scrub. the scum from
the drinking pals and make the water
more healthful and appetizing. Hens
relish clean water and drink more of
it when the fresh supply arrives. The
use of clean pals is a great help in
keeping down the spread of respiratory
diseases.

Spring Planting
to Avoid Frosts
Dates Given by Weather
Bureau on Which Crops
Can Be Saved.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculturel
Ordinary spring crops can largely be
saved from frost damage by postponing
planting until the frost risk becomes
small. Information as to average
dates of the last killing frost in any
locality may be obtained from any of
fee Of the weather bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
Early cabbage, radishes, onions, early
peas and potatoes. and turnips may be
planted about two weeks before the
average date Of last killing frost.
Beets. carrots, lettuce, spinach, cauli-
flower, celery and sweet corn should
be planted about the last frost date.
Two weeks after that date. snap beans,
-okra and tomato plants may be put
out, but ii is usually better not to
plant lima beans, pepper and egg
plants, cucumbers, melons and sweet
potatoes until the ground is well
warmed up, after another two weeks.
Frost In South.
There are some years in which KILL
ing frost does not occur at all in the
southern portion of the Florida penin-
sula, and also along the west Gulf
coast. 1t does not often occur after
March / In northern Florida, southern
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana,
and south of Austin, Tex. The line
based on March IL. as an average for
the last killing frost has receded north
ward to south-central Georgia, to the
latitude of Montgomery, Ala, south
central Mississippi, central Louisiana
and central Texas. Two weeks later 1t
has advanced to central North Caro-
lima, north-central Arkansas and CEN
trail Oklahoma.
Average Date in North.
BY the middle of April killing frost
does not occur in half the years south
of east-central. Maryland, north-central
Virginia, northern Kentucky, extreme
southern Illinois, north-central Nilsson
ri and southeastern Kansas. 1t may
be expected during about half the
years as late as May 1 in central Ohio,
north-central Indiana, extreme north
ern Illinois, central Iowa and south
eastern Nebraska. The average data
in the central portions of the lower
peninsula of Michigan, central Wiscon-
sin, north-central Minnesota and most
of the more northern portion OF South
Dakota is as late as May 10, while In
few localities In extreme northern
Michigan and Minnesota it may be ex-
pected in slightly more than half the
years as late as June /.

Timely Farm Hints


Keep the pigs free from lice.
Do not pasture clay lands while wet.
Do not allow sheep to take the cold
rains.
When exposed farm machinery meets
winter weather the result is junk.
Keep all of the young animals grow
ing by suppling abundant ration, rel
atively high in protein.
Sanitation and prevention is the
best insurance against such contagious
diseases as hog cholera.
Keep the live stock sheltered and
bedded during the rainy times, and
thus save feed and fatalities from
pneumonia.
Large boxes, barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house.
Hens are never so happy as when
they are knee-deep in straw or chaff.

Picnic Car Turns Over Near
 Camp Cosby Friday

Jack Adler, 14-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. Edward l.. Adler, 2591 High lands avenue, suffered a broken leg, and six of his schoolmates and a chauf- feur received minor bruises when an automobile in which they were return ing from a picnic at Green Springs turned over at curve near Camp Cos by late Friday afternoon.
 The party was composed of students from Captain Parks University Train ing school. who had been invited for a days outing in the country by young Adler. The accident occurred when the steering gear of the Adler car failed to work near the Y. NJ. c. A. camp and the vehicle was acst headlong down a hill at curve, turning over twice in it's descent ta.
 Mir. Adler, father of the injured youth, exonerated the chauffeur of any blame Friday night, stating that he had been in his employ number of years, and he had implicit confidence in him.
 Young Adler was rushed to Roebuck, where the automobile was met by an ambulance from Ridout, which carried him to St. Vincent's hospital. Physi- cians there had not determined the full extent of his injuries later in the night. All the other young men were carried to their homes.

ADVOCATE VOTE ON ALDERMANIC RULE FOR CITY Armstrong Leads Move To Replace Commission
 Government CLAIMS RESULTS
 WARRANT CHANGE Would Call Election By March, Before Next
 City Primary

Vigorous warfare on Birming- hams present form of municipal government will begin within a few days, when campaign will be launched by several prominent citi- zens to restore the old aldermanic form of government is use in sew eral. other large cities, according to information obtained at the court house today.
 Hunter Armstrong, register in chancery and prominent in city and county politics, in sponsoring the movement for the change and stated that he expected to begin circulat- ing a petition calling for an election on the issue within few days.
 Mir. Armstrong pointed out that he was not acting as spokesman for anyone except himself in advo- eating the change but was doing so in his capacity as a citizen who felt that the control of city affairs should be in the hands of one off cial, rather than commission.
 Other Cities Cited
 Most of the large cities of the country have the aldermanie form of government" Mir. Armstrong said in discussing the plan. New York, New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta and many others seem well satisfied with it, while in Birmingham there is a growing dissatisfaction with the com mission form. It is almost impossible to get any kind of prompt action on matters requiring immediate attention. There is the parking of First avenue, for example. The matter has been in the courts, before the city commission and almost everywhere else for sew eraf months and yet nothing has been done tp improve the situation.
 Mr. Armstrong posnfed out that his criticism was based on the form of gov ernment rather than the records of individual members of the city commis- sion. Delay and confusion were at- tributed to the fact that the present form of city government was largely a government of politics without any one person being held responsible for city affairs.
 DepIOres Conditions
 Tt is literal fact" lie said. "that within six blocks of the home of the president of the city commission, auto- mobiles have become stuck in the mud and had to be pulled out. Doctors in various parts of the city going out on important calls have been delayed by bad streets. We need one man who would be made to feel that he was per sonally responsible for these conditions. Then he would feel 1t his personal duty t0 remedy them. We have been agitat- ing for yiaduets for 10 years but have hardly accomplished anything because it is too easy for one person to pass the buck to somebody lese.''
 Mir. Armstrong said he expected to get busy immediately to obtain the necessary names to the petition, so that the election on the proposed change might be held by next March, as the law requires that such a change must be voted on not later than six months previous to municipal election.

 Term .

NEW YORK. May 23.-Magistrate Norman E. Marsh, the judge who gives the fellow in the flivver 30 days for making wrong turn. will have a great chance to explain next week why he suspended sentence on Miss Abby Rockefeller, the daughter of John D. Jr., when she was convicted of speeding the second time.
 Mayor John r. Hylan Friday ordered < municipal inquiry into the case after receiving many letters of protest. Most of these pointed out thatSspeeders, on their second conviction. usually are sent to prison for long terms by Magis- trate Marsh.
 Commissioner David Hirschfield, who will conduct the inquiry, will try to ascertain also why special care was taken to conceal the records of Miss Rockefeller's latest fast ride through the traffic court.
 It is understood that she was not required to appear in person and that an attorney who pleaded for her was permitted to conduct the business clan destinely after the regular session of court had adjourned. The motorcycle policeman who made the arrest, when questioned the next day, also was strangely reluctant to speak of the mat ter.
 Miss Rockefeller was not fined on either occasion.
 Commissioner Hirschfield has no power to subpoena witnesses and there fore Miss Rockefeller and Magistrate Marsh may refuse to appear or send any representative to his inquiry. How ever, Police Commissioner Enright un- doubtedly will honor any request that may come from Hirschfield for the ap- peaFance of policemen involved in the two cases.
