Pasture conditions average 80 per-
cent of normal on August l compar-
ed with so percent on this date last
year, but this estimate represents a
decline of 2 percent from a month
ago. This is the result Of the light
er rainfall occurring in the Piedmont
counties and in some of the live
stock producing areas in the noun
tains. The condition estimate, how
ever, is percent above the past ten
year average for August /.

QUESTION:: How can I control
the Bitter Rot or Anthracnose di-
sease in my apple orchard?
ANSWER: This disease can be
CONTROL by spraying with Dor
deaux mixture, but the spray should
be applied as early as possible. Peel
off all mumified fruit and destroy it
to keep down infection next year.
This spray should not be to early ap-
pies as it is apt to leave residue
that violates federal regulations in
interstate shipments. This treat
ment will also control attackof the
cooling moth, especially on the late
apples.

Question: When is the best time
to seed a lawn?
Answer: The best results are usu
ally secured by early fall seeding
except in the mountains and, even
there, the fall seeding gives best re-
suits on elevations less than $500
feet. This gives the grasses time to
become well established before win
ter and also to get good start on

Question: Should all pullets in
the flock be treated for worms be-
fore they are placed in the laying
house?
Answer: No - only those birds
that show evidence of being infect
ed should be treated This is usual
ly evidenced by pale combs, face
parts and shanks and by the birds
being light in weight. If there is a
doubt representative pullet should
be killed and the intestines examin-
ed for worm infestation. If worms
are found, isolate all birds showing
the symptoms and treat for control
before placing in laying house.

Reform in Canada Blocked
By Privy Council Decision

Ottawa (ILNS)-Nearly all the So
cial legislation passed by the Ben
nett government in 1886, including
the unemployment insurance act, the
minimum wage, eight-hour day, and
one days rest in seven acts, having
been declared unconstitutional by the
privy council of England, reform in
Canada has been side-tracked for
some time.
Before uniform national legislation
dealing with pressing social and la
Dor problems can be passed, the con-
sent of the provinces to change the
Dominion constitution will have to be
secured, and that is likely to be
protracted process.
Cynical newspapers observe that
the king government, having big
majority, will not worry about social
reform until the approach of the next
election III 1910.

sistance recently distributed the first
state and federal grants of the year
to Ohio's counties.
The funds, which totaled $786,472,
represented the state and federal
governments advance reimbursements
for the first three months of 1897
in assisting programs which benefit
approximately 10000 dependent chill
dren and $500 blind persons under
the social security act.
OF the total amount distributed,
$678,472 was to be used in the coun-
ties program for dependent chill
dren with the remaining S107,96 to
be utilized for aid to the blind.
