Johnson, a Phila delphia lawyer, was once explaining to a Jury the nature and the unfair ness of "leading" or guiding qulstions. He illustrated his explanation with an anecdote. "A young chap ami a pretty girl," he said, "sat on a secluded bench at Lemon Hill. The girl turned to him and said earnestly: You ask me for a kiss. There is a language in kisses. A kiss on the hand denotes chivalrous respect. On the forehead it denotes a firm and faithful friendship. On the lips' her color rose and she drew a long breath 'a kiss on the lips denotes all things. Kiss me, then, once. Ex press in one kiss your feeling toward me.' "The bashful youth pondered.

Lyon, 5 St William St, S. Boston, Mass., says : "Doan's Kidney Pills have surely done me wonderful good. About two months prior to the birth of my baby, I had two convulsions and was taken to a hospital. Doctors said the convulsions were due to my kidneys not working properly. "I had swelling of the feet and ankles so that I had to wear large - sized slippers. My back ached In tensely. I was nerv ous and unable to sleep. I also suf fered from awful headaches and felt weak, tired, languid, and run down. "After I came home a friend sug gested that I try Doan't Kidney Pills, and I got some. I soon noticed Improvement; my back became stronger and I felt better In every way. I kept on taking Doan's and was cured. They are surely reliable." Mrs. Lyon gave the above state ment in May, 1915, and on March 12, 1917, she said : "My cure has lasted. I take Doan's occasionally, however, as a strength ener for my kidneys."

This Plat Was Cropped to Corn for Five Years, 1911 to 1915, Inclusive, With Crimson Clover as a Winter Crop Less Than 3 Per Cent of the Plants Showed Wilt on July 27, 1916, but It Should Be Noted That the Tobacco Is Decidedly Small er In Size Than That After Grass and Clover. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Tobacco wilt, which has proved to be a destructive disease In the flue cured tobacco district,, can be con trolled through crop rotations and the exclusion of Infection from drainage, from fertilization and from the use of Infected Implements. . This has been brought out by experiments carried on by specialists of the department for a series of years. The disease is exceedingly destruc tive, causing the plant to die outright and frequently resulting in a practical ly complete failure of the crop. It produces symptoms In the leaves, the stalk, and the roots of the tobacco plant. The more prominent features are a characteristic umbrellalike drooping of the leaves, the presence of a yellowish to black discoloration in the woody portion of the stalk (showing as streaks when the bark is stripped off)., the presence of a slimy ooze when the stalk Is cut across with a knife, and a decided decay of the root system. The wilt Is caused by an organism which enters the plant through the root and eventually brings about a plugging of the vessels, thus cutting off the water supply from the leaves and causing them to wilt and perish. Fertilizers, cultural methods, weather conditions, and the like may Influence the extent or progress of the disease. i and It has been observed that It is decidedly more destructive In relative ly wet seasons. Possible Remedies Tried. In the tests made by the department numerous possible remedies were tried, including crop rotation, treat ment with various alkalis, acids, and neutral salts, Including fertilizer ma terials and germicides, and the use of physical treatment such as suhsolltng with a plow and dynamite. None of these methods other than crop rotation were effective, however, and It Is be- Field Showing Results of Continuous Tobacco Cropping, Creedmoor, N. C. Tobacco Was Grown on This Plat Each Year From 1911 to 1916, In elusive Fully 80 Per Cent of Plants Showed Wilt on July 27, 1916. Ileved that where (he infection is pres ent chief dependence must be placed on decreasing Its destructive efforts by the use of rotations. Where the wilt Is not present, steps should be taken, of course, to prevent Infection reaching the soil. In the tests made by the department It was found that by cropping badly Infested land for five years with crops not affected by wilt the Injury to the tobacco from the disease was reduced from 80 to less than 10 per cent. The crops tested which gave satis factory results for the practical con trol of the wilt are corn, wheat,, rye (as a cover crop), sweet potatoes. I cowpeas, grasses, red clover, and crim son clover. There Is good evidence tending to show that cotton also Is not affected by tobacco wilt, and there Is no reason for supposing that oats are affected. The wilt germ attacks a number of plants other than tobacco, and these p'ants must be kept off the land If the rotation is to be effective. These plants Include tomatoes. Irish pota toes, and peanuts. Ragweed, which Is very common In the flue-cured district also In attacked ; It is Important that this weed be kept down. It appears from the test that on badly Infested land the growing of crops not attacked by wilt for four or five years will give better results than only three years of such cropping. The three-year period greatly reduced the amount of wilt, however. It Is be lieved that on badly Infested soils a crop of tobacco should not be grown oftener than once in every flv years, but after the disease has been brought under control tobacco jjrobably may be grown safely every fourth year. Un der no circumstances should two crops of tobacco be grown in succession-on Infested soil. Prevent Spread of Disease. Although the rotation of crops makes It possible to grow tobacco on land Infested with wilt, those farms In the wilt area that are still free from the disease command a consider able premium, because a larger acre age of tobacco can be grown on thera. It is clearly to the Interest of the owner to use every possible means of keeping his farm free from the to bacco wilt. Thorough burning of to bacco seed beds will destroy the wilt parasite, but the seed bed may be come reinfested If diseased soil from surrounding fields, even In very small quantities, la allowed to reach the bed after it has been sterilized. The seed bed, as well as the field, also may be come Infested by surface drainage from Infested fields. This explains the frequent observation by farmers hat wilt may appear In the first crop of tobacco grown on freshly cleared lands, a fact which should serve as a warning of what may be expected If he surface drainage from npicrhboring wilt-Infested farns ' ollowod to rpneb nonlnfest?d tobacco lnnds. For thp nbove reasons tobirco growers are ad vised to avoid setting In fields free rom Infestation plants obtained from seed beds which may be Infested. A half dozen Infested plants may easily 'e the means of establishing the wilt nermanently on a plantation. Source of Disease. There Is no reason for supposing that the disease Is carried over In the eed, and there Is no doubt that the two principal sources from which healthy fields receive the disease are M)' soil from Infested fields and (2) llseased tobacco plants, either living nlants or the dead material of leaf, stem, stalk, or root. Infested soil car ded on a plow borrowed from a neigh bor or on the feet of an animal or of i man may serve to introduce the dis ease. In the process of flue curing It might be expected that the compara tively high temperatures used toward he end of the "curing would be suf ficient to kill the parasitic organism, hut cases have been observed In Gran ville county in which It Is highly prob able that the wilt was introduced on tobacco farms through the nse of stems as a fertilizer. It Is not advis able to use tobacco stalks or stems from diseased fields on lands not-already Infested with wilt, since the cur ing process cannot be relied upon In all cases to sterilize these materials. Finally, tobacco growers are advised to practice rotation of crops on their tobacco lands as a means of prevent ing the wilt, for If the soil Is exposed to Infestation the disease Is less likely to become established when a system atic rotation of crops Is followed. Cover Crops Benefit Cover crops of the right kind and planted at the right time benefit the soil. Progressive farming requires that a crop occupy the land In wlntei as well as In spring and summer.
