Worth Knowing

Neither the power nor wealth of
former kings could pay for the
prompt, accurate report of news
and notices Of goods now furnished
by the public press. Yet, when there
are millions Of customers created by
advertising, and when the cost is
divided among millions, each COM
mon man finds himself mightier
than g. KING.

the Flanders from New York
to the Coast to open a General
Mobilgas station in Beverly
Hills district of California,
where so many picture stars
reside.
Trip from coast to coast,
says Lansing, was made in 1873
hours, or less than six days Of
driving time, on a reported
average Of Is miles to the
gallon.
"The Flanders may be old in
years." declares the owner,
''but it's young in spirit. I plan
a lot Of future trips with it
throughout the Pacific Coast.
"When it was built, it was
among the most popular cars.
It cost $1,720, with $125 ex-
ira for the top, and $75 for the

since I bought it, the car has
been fabricated with Mobiloil,
which I now dispense at my

sulting in destruction Of public
property and danger to motorists
is reported by the state highway
department. In nearly all sections
Of the state maintenance crews on
the trunk highways are finding an
unusual number of road signs de-
faced.
In some instances the vandals
even have used wrenches to unbolt
heavy warning signs, and in other
cases they have spent much labor
in pulling sign posts out Of the
ground bodily. Hunters also destroy
many markers by using them for
shotgun tarkets.
"Signs warning motorists Of dan
gerous turns and curves and CIV
ing load limits on small bridges
are among those which have been
defaced," said N. w. Elsberg,
highway commissioner. IF the per-
sons who seem to enjoy this type
Of vandalism could visualize the
automobile accidents and human
suffering which are likely to re-
suit, they would turn their ener-
gies to other channels"

The Garden
Department
By Ferdinand Wiener

The Fourth Annual Flower Show
Is now a matter Of history, so to
say. The weeks before the event,
especially the last two, were not
productive Of fine flowers in any
large quantity, the intense heat, to-
gether with the wind, was hard on
many gardens, which cut down the
exhibits very much, however, what
exhibitors found worth while to
bring was of good quality, in fact.
it was a surprise that some variet-
les were as good as they were in
spite Of conditions. Doubtless
equally as good material was left
home by some, believing that 9TH
ers had better flowers, whereas
those not brought would perhaps
have won the prizes instead.
However, the flower show COM
mittee thanks all for their hearty
cooperation for making this years
show a success in spite Of condi-
tions, what was lacking in guam
tity, was made up in quality. The
fair association is also thanked
for placing facilities at the COM
mittee's disposal. A lively interest
was shown in the exhibition during
the fair days, and the committee
feels repaid for it's work spent on
the enterprise.
Now the rain that we have hop
ed for for weeks came at last, all
of it at one down-pour. The writ
er's garden, or a good part Of it,
was under deep water after Mon
days little cloudburst. All that was
visible along the main flower beds
was just little hill, and at this
writing, TUESDAY morning., there
are still large, deep ponds, the
drain tile being unable to carry
away the water fast enough.
1t is a very good time right now
to begin to transplant all sorts Of
perennial plants, they will make a
lot of growth from now on II
moved now. Especially SO, with
varieties that have been through
blooming for some time. Every
thing done now is that much more
gain for next spring.

HUMANS GET ANIMAL

Minnesotans Warned To Look Out

st. Paul, Minn.-Among the dis

to man in Minnesota, tularemia is
assuming a new Importance this
year.

at is now established beyond
any doubt that the disease can be
spread by humans by the insect
route as well as by actual contact
with sick animals" the bulletin
warns.
The wood tick is known to have
acted as carrier in the case Of g

iously i'll at the present time with
the disease. Deer flies and horse
flies are under grave suspicion as
possible carriers, also.

animals in this section Of the
country was predicted some time
ago by experts in the State Depart
ment of Health who have made a
special study of the disease in re.
cent years. The danger of transfer
ence by insects may therefore be
expected to increase, according to
the physicians.
The more usual source Of in
lection, contact through break in
the skin with diseased dead ami
mails, is easily avoided by use OF
gloves. Hunters should never han
die dead rabbits or squirrels bare
handed, the bulletin declares.
Avoiding infection by the insect
route is more difficult. But care
full watch to see that wood ticks do
not remain on the skin anywhere
long enough to burrough and in
troduce the germs into the blood
stream will help.
Tularemia is characterized by
high fever and prostration. It Is
often mistaken for something else

Please tell me how to take care
Of q strawberry field after fruiting.
If you want to carry the bed
over for another fruiting, cut, rake
and burn the old plants. Then cul-
tivate or pillow between the rows to
destroy all of the plants except
those in the rows which should not
be more than 6 inches wide. Thin
these rows slightly and work the
soil into good condition SO they
will form new plants for next
years fruiting. If you have an old
bed that is not to be carried over,
save small section for plants and
plow the rest under. 1t is generally
best to reset the plants in the
spring, but If your new bed can be
watered the plants can be set out
about September 1 or little ear

Of us will have to keep the outlet
In repair.
An agreement in writing, signed
by both parties before a notary
public, as to who is to keep the
outlet in repair should be filed with
the register Of deeds of the coun-
ty. Make sure that the duties Of
each party to the agreement are

When should alfalfa be cut for
seed? Should IL be cut with a grain
binder or q grass mower? What Is
theaverage yield Of alfalfa seed per
acre?
Alfalfa Is usually harvested for
seed from the second crop, when
the pods have turned dark brown
to black. If the growth is tall
enough, cutting with a grain bind
er is satisfactory. You will find
that during wet weather and when
the alfalfa grows rank, it produces
very little seed. Under ordinary cir
cumstances, 2 to 3 bushels of alfal-
ia seed per acre is fair yield, a
bushel weighing go pounds.-A. C..
Army, Division of Agronomy.
My tomatoes are becoming speck-
led with brown spots that are only
skin deep. The leaves are also af-
fected.
This is probably bacterial spot.
Spraying is Of little help. The best
method of control is soaking the
seed before planting time in sol
ution of one part mercuric chlor-
ide to 5000 parts of water. After
soaking the seeds for 5 minutes,
wash them in clean water and
spread out to dry. If not planted
Immediately, put them in a clean
container until ready for planting.
This disease was first observed in
Minnesota about years ago, and
has not been very troublesome un-
til this summer. If it persists, how
ever, treating tomato seed before
planting may have to be adopted
as a regular practice. G. Leach,
Division of Plant Pathology.
Our pepper plants are diseased.
The leaves become discOlored, dry
up and fall off. What would you
suggest trying?
There are four or five different
diseases that might affect your pep
pers in the way you describe and I
would have to examine specimen
before advising you what to do. Al
ways send specimen when asking
about diseased plants of any kind.
Wrap the diseased leaves or plants
In several thicknesses of heavy
paper, pack carefully in a box or
carton, and mail to Plant Pathol-
ogy Division, University Farm, St.
Paul. G. Leach, Division Of

What will prevent ropy bread?
The cheapest and easiest treat
ment is to ad one and a half Ia
blespoonfuls Of ordinary vinegar to
each quart Of liquid used in maxi
ing the bread. If very strong,
picking vinegar is used, only one
half to two-thirds as much should
be used. Keeping the bread as cool
as possible after baking will also
help prevent growth of the bacter-
ia which cause ropiness. Bread that
is to be kept for several days may
be stored in the cellar or icebox.-
