Tomato growers in the Middle At lantle and Middle Western states may greatly reduce their losses from leafspot, or blight, by following the practices recommended in Department Bulletin 1288, The Control of Tomato Leaf-Spot, by Fred J. Pritchard and W. S. Porte, recently issued by the United States Department of Agrlcul- 4 tare. The disease, which, In the United States, causes the commercial growers an estimated annual loss of 250,000 tons of tomatoes, Is widely distributed east of the Rocky mountains. Because spore formation of this fungus takes place only at temperatures between 59 and 80.5 degrees F., and because the disease develops best only within a temperature range of 73 to 78 degrees F., It ii relatively unftriportant in the northern states and in the far South. Because It thrives best in a moist atmosphere, it is more abundant in Maryland, Virginia, and the adjoining coast states than in the Inland parts of the same temperature belt. Mixtures f"oo Expensive. In the past bordeaux or other copper spray mixtures have given the best control of leaf-spot, but profits have not always been increased enough to Justify the expense. The bulletin suggests that a mere effective and economical method of control lies in the use of modified field practices. Good results have been obtained by setting out large, stocky, well-hardened plants early in the spring. Since the fungus does not produce spores at low temperatures the disease will not begin to do damnge in this region before the latter half of June and for that reason these early plants escape more leaf-spot than the small ones that are commonly set late. Plants of the desirable kind at least six weeks old can be produced cheaply outdoors In the South and shipped north at the right time for planting. In 1923 more than 30,000,000 southern-grown tomato plants were shipped Into Indiana and a considerable number into the Eastern states. Some of the larger northern companies manufacturing tomato products are growing their own plants in the South, in order to obtain healthy plants of suitable size and age. The Indiscriminate purchase of southern stock of unknown history cannot be recommended, because of the attendant danger of introducing wilt and root-knot.

BOUGHBOY MEETS MAN HE FOUGHT Iff : r™. MO-MAN'S LANb Good Results Have Been Obtained by Setting Out Hardened Plants. Clover Will Do Well if Given Real Good Chance Every farmer likes to look" at a good field of clover, especially on his own farm. Older men tell us of the time when clover grew naturally and all that was necessary for a successful "catch" was Just to sow the seed. But many years of cropping have brought about far-reaching changes in the soil. Lime Is continually getting away in the drainage water, in. crops sold off the farm, and in the bones of animals. Phosphorus--never very plentiful even in virgin soils--has been reduced by cropping .and by live stock until today it Is the limiting element in most soils. With these factors in mind. It Is not hard to see why clover fails so often, for clover needs lots of lime, and it never does well unless plenty of phosphorus is present. To be sure, many other reasons are often given for clover failure--but clover will do well If given a real chance. a system of plant certification to pro* tect the careful southern grower and the northern purchaser ? gainst this danger. Fungus Prevented. The fungus can be largely prevented froln over-wintering by plowing under the old tomato vines in the fall. The vines must be thoroughly covered to kill all the fungus on them and this can be accomplished by first cutting them with a disk and by using a weed hook on the plow or a weed hook and Jointer. The fungus also grows and produces spores on dead weeds, grasses, and remains of various crops, especially cornstalks. By keeping these dead materials covered with soil and by destroying such plants as the horsenettle, groundclierry, jlmsonweed and nightshade and by burning dead weeds and grasses along the fence rows and other waste places, the disease can be well controlled.

Recognizes Voice of Cook Repeating Breakfast '• brrfer in Kitchen* Houston, Texas.--"Stack o' wheats, Java," sang out Preston Maxwell, former doughhoy who went over the top at St. Mihlei. now waiter ift a cafe here, one morning recently. He 1iad just taken an order from a customer who was in a hurry and had promised to rush It. "Stack o* wheats and Java!* echoed a voice from the kitchen. The voice was not In excellent "English," or rather in excellent restaurant slang, but betrayed a German accent. it made Preston Maxwell stop and do some thinking. To save him he could not help believing he had heard that voice somewhere. He went to Investigate. - In the kltcnen Preston Maxwell came face to face with Rudolph I„ubkert, formerly of the Bavarian guards. And then Maxwell remembered where he heard the voice. In the kitchen Maxwell stiffened. He wis again Private Preston Maxwell Make Nests to Attract Turkey Hens in Spring The first and usual cause of softshelled eggs is that the bird is too fat. The muscular movement of the oviduct Is hindered by layers of fat, and Instead of the egg being controlled by firm muscles It merely slips through a flabby mass without getting its shell on. The difficulty will vanish If the birds are made to scratch hard In a clean dry straw litter for all their grain, and the ration fed Is not overfattening. . , Another cause of soft-shelled eggs is lack of lime In the hen's ration. In this case the shell s^retlng part of the oviduct fails to do Its work because of lack of material. The third cause of soft-shelled eggs Is the forcing of hens for too frequent egg production. A second yolk breaks ofT from the ovary and drops into the funnel of the oviduct, and the first one is forced too rapidly on its way for it to be completely formed when laid. A fourth reason for soft-shelled eggs comes from scouring, that Is, from feeding a too loosening ration to your birds. Beets or mangels will sometimes produce this result. Selecting Clean Gtcrtmd for Gardens Is Favored It Is a sad mistake to select a weedy, grassy patch of ground for the garden, thinking to give It good culture and get rid of the weeds and grass. In the first place, such soil is always badly Infested with grubs, cutworms, wireworms and other pests that breed in grass. These lack food when the weeds and grass are kept down, and feed on the plants with disastrous results. If it Is a dry year you may be able to keep the weeds in check, but a wet year will give you a run for your money. It Is almost an Impossible task to keep a rich garden clean if it has been overrun with weeds for a year or so when wet weather gives them Its backing. They seem to spring up full size in a night. Plowing Early for Soy Beans Is Favored Plan Success with soy beans depends more upon a good seedbed than is true of any other field crop. From a lon$ study of soy beans at the Missouri experiment station and on farms over the state, C. Carter urges early plowing in case it was not done In the fall. Soy beans cannot compete with weeds, hence the great Importance of killing off as many weeds as possible before the soys come up. This Is accomplished by working the ground at least twice before planting, once three or four weeks before and once ahead of the planter. For the greater part of lifssouri and similar latitudes, the last week in May or the first week in June Is the best time to plant soy beans. The beans do very poorly in cold or dry soil so there is always danger of Uie weeds getting ahead of them. A properly prepured seedbed is more Important than two weeks of time at the planting season. Furnish Fuel to Keep Fowls Warm in Winter Hens have more work to do In order to .lay eggs in winter than any other time of year. For one thing, feed must furnish fuel for keeping them warm. To manufacture whites, yolks and shells of eggs requires a healthy body supplied with certain food elements which hens naturally pick op In the spring and summer. One of these important food elements or rather a number of them have been found to be contuined in buttermilk and Bimilar food elements are easy to supply in the laying mash by the addition of 10 per cent or more of dried buttermilk. A ration consisting of 26 pounds wheat bran, 25 pounds stuidard middlings, 30 pounds corn meal. 5 pounds bonemeal and 15 pounds dried buttermilk has given fine results. In feeding, the laying mash should be kept before the flock all the time and should be supplemented feeding scratch grain twice a day. SUITABLE TYPE OF CONTAINER FOR PACKING NICOTINE DUSTS Canvas Bags or Pasteboard I Boxes Unsatisfactory. <PrapM»4 kv tha United StatM D»parUMHt - tof Agriculture.) "Nicotine dusts" which have recently come Into extensive use for the control of certain insect pests present a serious problem to the manufacturers because of the fact that they < deteriorate in strength in the usual fonp of commercial packing. This makes It difficult for the manufacturers to label their prodqet as to Its percentage of ingredients in accordance with the federal insecticide and fungicide act, and the consumer has no assurance that the product he Is obtaining will be efficient. The United States Department of Agriculture has undertaken some tests and investigations to determine the extent of such losses and indicate the most suitable type of container which would make possible the marketing of a more uniform and standard product The findings of the Investigators so far have been published in Department Bulletin 1312, Just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Among other results It is stated that puwas bags, pasteboard boxes, and paraffined boxes are unsatisfactory containers for nicotine * dusts. Airtight metal or glass containers only should be used for packing them commercially.

It was learned. After the war was over Lubkert came to America and finally reached .Houston, where he has taken out citizenship papers. "How did you recognize him?" Maxwell was asked. "if you ever fought a guy with a bayonet you'd never forget his face. If he did any talking you'd never forget his voice," Maxwell said. Invntor Ends Lite With Drug He Created London.--Opportunity knocked too late at the door of Joseph Born, a German chemist, who came to England last August to sell a chemical invention for the synthetic manufacture at low cost of a nunlber of expensive drugs, including certain poisons. He had devoted bis life to perfecting his formulae. His funds ran out and on New Year's day--the day he was notified to vacate his house with his wife and children for nonpayment of rent--his Dody was found In Kensington Gardens. The coroner produced the following note found on the body : "1 must die by my own Invention. Isn't it funny?" Later It developed that a British firm had Just made him a conditional offer of £2,000 for his invention. Attic Inmate Finds He's Heir to $10,000 Anderson, Ind.--Charles E.
