Shooting Stors
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Rushing Along.

Rushing Along.
When forth mid sylvan scenes he goes
A-speeding all serene,
He looks ahead and never knows
The beauties Of the scene.
If clear and sunny be the day,
He vows that he is glad
But more than this he will not say
He simply drives like mad.
And even when he stops awhile,
The green fields spreading fair
The blossom with its winsome smile
Claims nothing OF his care.
The sights which other men might please
He turns not to admire;
He has no mind for things like these
He has to change a tire.

Carried Soil Up Hill
To SdUe SUiss Farm

Ohio has quite a large group of
farmers whose Swiss ancestors
learned soil conservation in a hard
school whose final lesson was that
workers in the field should have a
knapsack which could be used to
carry back up the hill soil that had
washed down to the lower end of
the fields.
Stark necessity dictated those
backbreaking methods because many
Swiss farms were steep slopes of
infertile soil. Poor as the soil was,
it had to be saved or half of the
Swiss population had to seek some
new way to make living. The
struggle for existence was one of
the reasons why a large group of
Swiss left their homes and came to
Ohio.
Ohio then was just getting out of
the woods and had areas of level,
black soils, but those areas were not
chosen by the Swiss emigrants. Most
of those new citizens bought farms
in northeastern Ohio where the hills
formed a skyline that at least would
carry the eyes upward when the

the spread of the disease. Pruning
out blighted wood during the grow
ing season is not recommended. 4
chemical solution described in extern
sion bulletin No. f28 is valuable IN
eliminating active cankers in sum
mer. All county agents have this
bulletin.
Removal of the suckers while still
small and succulent tends to prevent
the formation of new fire blight
cankers and also eliminates some
insects which might otherwise help
spread the disease. The older wood
which is infected can be removed
in the fall, and this should be done
By making cuts an inch or two be-
low the diseased portion.
I'm case of serious outbreaks of fire
blight in southern Ohio, the Univer-
sity pathologist recommends the use
of preventive sprays during the
D1OSSOIl pCTlOu. VIZ dpptl1dtiolAo Va
Bordeaux mixture are used in con-
trolling fire blight during the bios
som period.
The disease, unless checked,
spreads from the blossoms into the
spurs and then to other portions of
the tree. Aphids and leaf hoppers
may carry the infection from dis
eased wood to parts of the tree
which are healthy. The bacteria
which cause fire blight cause can
kers to appear on the trees, and
these cankers are centers from which
the bacteria spread.
Fire blight affects pears, and dis
eased pear trees often have more
cankers than infected apple trees.
The symptoms of fire blight are
sudden dying of whole branches or
portions of them. The diseased parts
turn brown or black as if scorched
by fire. Summer pruning of infected
wood on pear trees is recommended.

customs of a strange land depressed
the spirits.
To the Swiss, the Ohio farms ap-
peared to have inexhaustibly rich
soil. The slopes were gentle to
eyes which were accustomed to al
most vertical walls of rock around
valley farms. Farming ought to be
an easy venture in Ohio.
Today, the third and fourth gener-
ations of these Swiss people operate
the farms their ancestors bought
They have found that soil moves
more slowly down Ohio slopes, but
that the movement is certain unless
some means are taken to defeat the
forces of erosion.
Gottleib Studer purchased a farm
near Wooster that quickly became
slashed with gullies under ordinary
tillage methods. Mr.. Studer con-
cluded that, if the farm was to be
saved, some drastic changes in farm
ing practices would have to be
adopted. The gullies were plowed in
until farm tools could be driven
across them.
To prevent further erosion, strip
cropping and terracing recommended
by the soils conservation service was
used. Mr.. Studer did not stop with
the land used for field crops il
planning to work his farm on the
contour. An orchard on the farm
is located on terraces which holds
the soil in place.
With the soil erosion stopped By
strip cropping and terraces, Mr.
Studer took another step in gooc
land use by improving his pasture
fields. Lime has been applied on al
the crop and pasture land, and 40t
pounds to the acre of 20 per cent
superphosphate was applied on the
old pasture. Some of the sleeper
slopes were added to the pasture
land after being seeded with mix
ture of timothy, bluegrass, redtop
and alsike clover.
Travellers over the Three-C high
way pass Mr.. Studer's farm, and i
is worth while to stop and compare
the appearance of the crops on thi!
place with those on similar lane
where no erosion control is beins
practiced. Mr.. Studer expects hi.
soil will support as many genera
tions of farmers as will continue tn,
system of land use which he nov
practices.

Farmers Want Method
To Stop Fire Blight

Ohio orchard owners call fire
blight by its nicknames blossom
blight, spur blight, twig blight, or
apple blight, but they want to be-
come less familiar with this, ac-
cording to c. C. Allison, specialist in
plant pathology, Ohio State Uni
versity.
Reports coming to the University
of the appearance of fire blight this
year in all sections of Ohio, except
the northeastern area, seem to be
more numerous than usual. Trans
parent, Jonathan, Stayman, and
Grimes trees appear to be affected
the most by the disease this season.
DR.. Allison tells farmers who in
quire about controls for fire blight
to remove water sprouts from the
trunks and limbs of trees to check

The toughest task that has faced
q titleholder in many moons of golf
competition around this territory
stood athwart the path today of
Marion Brown and her second
straight Middle Atlantic Golf Asso-
citation womens championship.
Faced with stif1ening opposition
from the Baltimore sector, a part of
the links area that has regained the
Maryland State title this year. and
is pressing the local gals hard for
top honors, Marion was little more
than an even-money favorite today
to win the Mid-Atlantic crown in
the tourney whose match play
rounds got under way over the hilly
layout Of the Washington Golf and
Country Club.
Indeed. slim Marion drew a Tartar
right at the outset of the tourney in
the person of Mrs. T. T. Schluder-
berg, the Baltimore city champion,
who qualified with the same score
as the reigning titleholder and who
more than some of the Baltimore
gals, appears definite threat to
take the crown back to Baltimore
No Soft Spots.
But there were no soft spots today
in that championship fight. where
Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow. thrice cham
pion, and medalist, clashed in the
opening round with Mrs. Douglas
Tschiffely of Washington, who got
in via the playoh route. and who has
habit of upsetting favorites. Mrs
Morrow, who won the first Mid
Atlantic women's tourney back in
1926. again proved the worth of a
sound swing by winning the medal
with a 4-over- -women's-par score of
81. And at that she three-putted
the final green. where a would
have won by two strokes.
Here were the first round. first
flight pairings, with qualifying scores
in the top feminine tourney of the
year: Mrs. E. Boyd Morrow. Elk
