Students Witness Mock
Trial of a Scrub Bull

An audience of about $50 persons
recently witnessed the mock trial of
scrub bull at the East Tennessee
farmers convention at Knoxville. In
a description of the trial received by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture from DR.. c. A. Hutton. dairy
specialist of Tennessee, he says it re-
suited in much interest In improved
live stock. 1t was held under the
auspices of the agricultural club, and
two law students of the state univer-
sity acted as attorneys in the case.
This method of showing the undesir-
ability of inferior breeding stock Is
proving very popular. The Depart
ment of Agriculture has had large
demand for their Outline of Scrub
Sire Trial." which was prepared for
the purpose Of aiding persons inter-
ested in the work of lettering the ma
TONS live stock. Copies of this publi-
cation may be had free on request to

How Exchanges Became

Widespread interest in the "Califor-
mia plan" of cooperative marketing
makes especially timely Department
Bulletin 1887, Organization and De-
velopment of a Cooperative Citrus
Fruit Marketing Agency, just issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. In 1891, when shipments
were little more than 1000 cars,
there was an apparent oyerproduct;on
of California citrus fruit. Thirty years
later a crop totaling more than $4,000
cars was marketed successfully. Bull
letin 1897 describes the growth Of the
system of cooperative marketing that
since 1893 has taken leading part in
the development of the California cit
rus industry. 1t outlines, also, the
steps by which local associations and
district exchanges became federated in
the California Fruit Growers ex-
change.
Historical Account.
A brief historical account is present
ed of the California citrus industry
since the introduction of orange trees
by the Franciscan monks in 1869. The
conditions causing the practical bank
ruptcy of the industry in the early
nineties, and the unfortunate alliance
of the exchange with commercial ship
pers in 10000 are other topics dis
cussed in the historical section of the
bulletin.
Considerable space is given to a dis
cussion of the organization and opera
ton of the local units that make up
the exchange.
Local cooperative associations are
the foundation of the exchange sys-
tenn" 1t is stated. "The earliest or
CARNATIONS of this kind preceded the
incorporation Of the exchange by al
most three years. They were created
by the members of community who
considered their marketing problems
as being, first of all, local In char
acter"
The organization and functions of
the district exchanges and the various
departments Of the California Fruit
Growers exchange are discussed In
detail.
Other Organizations.
An organization for the purchase of
supplies and two by-products compa-
MES have been established by the fed
Grated associations. These organiza-
lions are not subsidiary to the Califor-
MIA Fruit Growers exchange. but are
units of the exchange system. The
problems leading up to the organiza-
ton of these companies and the serv-
Ices they perform for the members of

ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER
A GUARANTEED RELIEF

II have arranged with all druggists

you immediate relief, or if you do not
find it the best remedy you have ever
used, take it back to your druggist and
he will return your money cheerfully,

After seeing the grateful relief it has
afforded in hundreds of cases, which
had been considered incurable, and
which had been given up in despair,

Series of Experiments Car

of Agriculture.o
Blunt, or Sinking smut Of wheat,
can be entirely prevented by sowing
treated seed before the smut shower,
and can be largely controlled by de-
laying the sowing somewhat, accord
ing to the results of experimental
studies made by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Infection
from smut spores present in the soil
may be partially prevented by treat
ing the seed with copper sulphate or
with commercial lime-sulphate applied
full strength and allowed to dry. This
protection is not afforded by formal
dehyde. Much of the seed wheat sown
in the semi-arid regions of the United
States is killed by seed treatment,
however, because Of the threshing In

A series of experiments in the pre-
vention and control of bunt was car
ried on in the Pacific Northwest and
the results of these form the basis for

cording to the findings in these studies
wind dissemination is the most impor-
tant factor In the continued occur
renee and spread Of bunt in that re-
gion, where the biennial crop system
is practiced.
In moist soil, bunt spores were
found to lose their viability in 30 to
go days, but in the dry air of the lab
oratory they retain their terminating
power for II years or longer. Blunt
spores in unbroken smut balls retain
their viability throughout the winter
months, and are capable of producing
infection even after being subjected
to alternate thawing and freezing.
Spores have terminated and produced
infection after lying one and one-half
years In the soil.

Early Americans Tied to Coast by Need of Salt

Early American settlers we're tied to
the coast by the need Of salt, without
which they could not preserve their
meats and live in comfort. Writing in
1852, Bishop Spagenburg says of a
colony for which he was seeking lands
In North Carolina: "They will require
salt and other necessaries which they
can neither manufacture nor raise.
Either t;sey must go TO Charleston,
which Is 800 miles distant, OK else go
to Boling's Point In Virginia on a
branch of the James and also 800 miles
from here, or else they must go down
the Roanoke know not how many
miles-where salt is brought up from
Cape Fear"
An annual pilgrimage for salt thus
became essential. Taking frrs and
ginseng root. the early settlers cent
their pack trains after seeding time
each year to the coast. But when dis
covery was made Of the salt springs

Sweet Clover Superior
as Soil Improving Crop

Sweet clover actually makes three
kernels grow where one grew before,
according to farmers with thin land
who have tried this legume for soil
Improvement.
One of the many examples of the
value of sweet clover for this purpose
ON record at the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college is that of John Fry Of
Independence.
A number of years ago he realized
that he couldn't produce wheat profit
ably in Montgomery county with q
yield of eight bushels to the acre.
He heard of sweet clover and began
to grow it for soil Improvement pur-
poses, where formerly he had been
harvesting eight bushels Of wheat to
the acre. In 1921 he produced p
bushels to the acre, in 1922, 221h BUSH
els, and in 1923 he produced 10 BUSH
els to the acre. Mr.. Fry has grown

Killing Out Bluegrass

Cultiyating alfalfa after the second
crop is taken off in order to kill blue
grass will be found the most satisfac-
tory practice. At this time the soil is
apt to be dry and 1t is easier to kill
the bluegrass. Cultivation comes at a
time when 1t will be big help In
conserving soil moisture. Some farm
ers cultivate their alfalfa fields early
in the spring, using a disk or har-
row, and follow each cutting by a cul-
tivation. Often this Is necessary IL
the bluegrass is not killed out by the
spring cultivation.

CHAPTER xi

Grants first visit to the home Of his
private stenographer was not his last,
and the news leaked out, as 1t Is sure
to do in such cases. The social set
confessed to heing on the point Of be-
ing shocked. Two schools Of criticism
developed over the five o'clock tea
tables; one held that Grant was a
gay dog who would settle down and
marry in his class when lie had had
his fling, and the other that Phyllis
Bruce was an artful hussy who was
quite ready to sell herself for the
Grant millions And there were 80
many eligible young women on the
market, although none of them were
described as artful hussies!
Grants behavior, however, placed
him under nc cloud In so far as social
opportunities were concerned; on the
contrary, he found himself being show
cred with Invitations, most Of which
he managed to decline on the grounds
of pressure of business. When such
an excuse would have been too trans
parent he accepted and made the best
of 1t, and he found no lack Of encour-
agement In the one or two incipient
amorous flurries which resulted
From such positions he always sue
ceeded In extricating himself, with a
quiet smile at the vagaries of life. He
had to admit that some of the young
women whom he had met had charms
Of hon 0Stn0 hn
might easily enough find himself chas-
Ing the rainbow.
But his attention was at once to be
turned to very different matters. A
stock market, erratic for some days,
went suddenly into paroxysm. Grant
escaped with as little loss as possible
for himself and his clients, and after
three sleepless nights called his staff
together. They crowded into the
board-room, curious, apprehensive, al
most frightened, and he looked over
them with an emotion that was quite
new to his experience. Even in the
aloofness which their standards had
made 1t necessary for him to adopt
there had grown up In his heart,
quite unnoticed, tender, sweet
foliage of love for these men
and women who were a part OF
his machine. Now, as he looked in
their faces he realized how, like little
children, they leaned on him-how,
like little children, they feared his
power and his displeasurA per-

First thing is place to eat" Grant
remarked, when they had been dis
missed. Words to similar effect had,
indeed, been his first remark upon
every suitable opportunity for three
months. An appetite which has been
four years In the making is not to be
satisfied overnight. and Grant, being
better fortified financially against the
stress Of good meal, sought to be
always first to suggest 1t. Under ac-
cepted the situation with the COM
placence of a man who has been four
years on army pay.

less, to embarrass me with additional

Don't know. Maybe go back and

The mention of Transley threw
Grants mind back into old channels.
He had almost forgotten Transley.
He told himself he had quite forgotten
Zen Transley, but once he knew he
lied. That was when they ported him
In No Mans Land. AS he lay there,
waiting i. he knew he had not
forgotten. And he had thought many
times of Phyllis Bruce At first he
had written to her, but she had not
answered his letters. Evidently she
meant him to forget. Nor had she
come to the station to welcome him
home. Perhaps she did not know.
Perhaps Many things can happen
In four years.
Suddenly 1t occurred to Grant that
1t might be a good idea TO call on
Phyllis. He would take Under along.
That would make 1t less personal. He
knew his man well enough to keep his
own counsel, and eventually they
reached the gate of the Bruce cottage.

Grow Quality Vegetables

Growing vegetables and growing
quality vegetables are two different
things. There are some things that
make for quality but add little to the
cost or the labor. Very rich soil that
is sandy and mellow to start with is
important, but If the soil Is not so
good, feeding can remedy that some
what. Cultivation after every rain to
keep the soil moisture from escaping
Is another point. Rich soil and good
culture will give quality.
