WOMAN BADLY BURNED
BY CLEANING LIQUID
Clothes Catch Fire From Fluid
and Condition Found to
Be Critical.

Mrs. Undril II. Bushong, 40 years
old, 120 F. street southeast, was prob
ably fatally burned yesterday when
her clothing caught fire while she
was using an inflammable liquid for
housecleaning.
Alone in her bedroom at the time,
Mrs. Bushong is believed to have
caused ignition of fumes from the
liquid by lighting u match, the flames
setting fire to her clothing. Unable
10 eXtinguish them, Mrs. Bushong ran
10 the lower floor and into the yard,
where she had the presence of mind
to roll on the grass.
After her mother and neighbors
had gone to her assistance, Mrs.
Bushong was rushed TO Casualty Hos
pital by Policeman II. 0. Tut of the
first precinct. After DR.. Joseph G..
Nillipiano had given her first aid at
Casualty. the woman was transferred
to Gallinger Hospital because of the
better facilities there for handling
such cases. Physicians said last
night her condition was critical.

RADIO HOSPITAL
FUND NEEDS CASH
Appeal for $4,000 to Carry

Scanty Response.

Response to the appeal of the WsSIs

the radio receiving sets it installed
several years ago in SO hospitals,

is denying thousands of "shut-ins''
the opportunity to listen to the music,
speeches and other forms of enter.@
tainment broadcast by the local radio
stations, according 10 Leroy Mark,
chairman Of the committee.
Although the committee made its
opening plea for funds early last week,
only a few contributions have been re-
ceived, and most of them from promi-
nent Washington business men. Mr..
Mark had hoped that the radio fans,
realizing the benefit Of radio entertain
ment to "shutins,' would hasten 70
contribute to the fund. A contribu.
ton OF 80 cents from every fan in
the District, he said would maintain
the hospital sets for at least tWS
years.
The American Society Of Authors,
Composers and Publishers and the
American BroadCasting Company have
pledged their cooperation 10 the com.
mittee in its drive for funds. The
former has given the committee $
broadcasting station W'IHE' pcrc.!s-, :,

its membership without the payment
of royalties. while the latter company
has authorized the station to use its
periods on the air for advertising pur-'
poses. applying the money derived

Seed Campaign
Worth 1884 Blu.
More Per Acre

What does an Extension Farm
Bureau Campaign amount to any
how? The evidence shows that 1t
surprises the County Agents them
selves sometimes. c. l.. Eastman
County Agent for Twin Counties de-
termined to get some figures on this
the other day and found that liz men
enrolled in the improved seed pota-
to campaign for Is county last year.
So of these reported that they had
used improved seed and many OF
them had also used common seed as
we'll. They gave the yield per acre
each.
Here is what some of those men
write the County Agent. Hon. Fred
r. Harrington of Durham reported
14O bushels agains. Is bushels from
common seed, Claude Sawyer, West
Minot $50 against rs; Addition Bros.
of Greene 900 bushels against 200;
J. w. Bishop, Bowdoinham 200
against so: l.. NJ. Ross. Jr. Lisbon,
205 against 40, that is 165 blu. per
acre difference in this case. Mr.
Ross had two acres of improved seed
that yielded 40 bushels and 5 acres
Of common seed that yielded about
LOO bushels in all. 1t was found that
improved seed yielded an average OF
1894 bushels per acre more than
common seed. 159 IA acres were
planted that the agent has record
OF and undoubtedly there was more.
Improved seed helps not only in
high priced potato year but in low
year as well because If Twin County
Farmers do not use 1t some one else
will and we will be that much out.

operators are on file at the Farm

Diarrhea Test
Will Be Made

The sad and costly experience OF
many people who bought cheap
chicks last year is going to cause
them to think more Of buying chicks
from diarrhea free fiocks in years to
come Chick breeders should serious
ly consider having their fiocks tested
this fall to help eliminate this dread
ed disease and to prove the free
flocks.
The price has come down cent
and is only ten cents bird. Those
fiocks which you think are free
should be tested that you may adver-
tise them as such. A flock tested
and infected birds removed may be
better than buying and selling where
no test has been.
Ten dollars a hundred Is better
than losing a hundred chicks later
on. There is not one accredited
flock in Androscoggin or Sadagahoc
counties. About time some one made
the ,grade again. Application blanks
for testing can be secured from the
County Agent.

Farm in Monmouth. The farm was
purchased in 1909 and consists of
approximately 260 acresi DIR. w. j.
Morse is Director of the Experiment
Station. Formerly he was for many
years Plant Pathologist at the Sta
ton and so is very familiar with the
work which has been conducted in
Maine over long period.
The question Is often asked who
determines what kind Of research
work shall be conducted in Maine?
, The answer to this question is the
Experiment Station Council on
which there are five members chosen
by the farmers of the state through
their representative organizations
such as the Grange Seed Improve
ment- Association. Pathological So
c1ety, Livestock Breeders Associa-
ton and the Dairymen's Association.
Recently the Experiment Station
purchased 80 acres Of land adjoining
the farm. This land Is to be used
as a demonstration orchard and for
picnic grounds. This action would
seem to indicate that the officials in
| charge of experimental work are de-
sirous that organizations of farmers
| as we'll as individuals visit High

become better acquainted with the
work which the Experiment Station
is conducting.

Is Productivity Transmitted BY Bud
Selection?
Many orchardists cldim that buds
or scions should be selected from
productive trees which bear fruit Of
high quality. While 1t Is true that
occasionally bud sprouts occur
which give rise to changes in color,
such as Red Spy, there is no evil
dence that differences in product
ivity of apple trees can be trans
mitted by bud or scion selection.
Experiments along this line have
been in progress at Highmoor for
several years Buds were selected
from, productive and unproductive
Mcintosh. Spy. Delicious and Ben
Davis trees and budded on French
Crab trees. The resulting trees are
now four years old and there Is
practically no difference in size Of
trees from productive and unpro-
ductive parents. Since yield is
largely dependent on tree size 1t rs
