To prepare sand finished walls
for wall papering first clean the
wall thoroughly. Add plaster Paris
to the glue size to make a thin
pxste. Brush this on and when it
begins to set, rub the walls down
with a rubber squeegee; the kind
used to clean windows, thus pro
ducing a flat surface.

Good Gardens
Need Proper
Preparation
The use of good seed or plants
" oil properly prepared and ferti
lized soils will do much towards
combatting the thousands of di
seases that attack vegetable
plants each year, says Dr. R. F.
Poole, plant pathologist at State
College. >.
Of the three thousand Known
disease that affect track and gar
den crops, 39 appear on tomatoes,
24 on cabbage. 23 on sweet po
tatoes and 21 on peppers and In
addition to the heavy loss in yield
there is a still greater loss in
quality.
Poole says that most soils in
the State require twenty or more
plant food elements for good I
growth in plants. Barnyard ma
nure and any high grade fertilizer
will supply these elements when
applied to the same area, and In
an amount that will produce good
yields despite disease, he says.
To offset this damage Poole
recommends that all soils be care
fully examined and the necessary
plant food supplied. Only certi
fied seed or plants known to be
free from parasites that cause di
sease should be used. For next
year's planting, select seed from
strong, healthy plants. Varieties
known to be resistant to certain
diseases should also be selected
tot planting on Infected soils, he
says.
Where the soli is badly Infect
ed with diseases that cause heavy
losses the garden plot should be
abandoned and a new site select
ed. .
Certain disease can also be
controlled by spraying or dusting
and these precautions are most
Important for effective control
?nd profitable garden operations,
Poole says.
It Must be that the reason mo
ney Is sappoeed to be so valuable
Is that so few people have any.

Questions
Answered at State College
Question: What is the best
breed of chickens for a beginner?
Answer: The best breed fori
any beginner in the poultry busi
ness is determined by what that ;
person wants with the birds. It'
egg production is to be the major!
business then the Leghorn or
some other of the Medlterraneum
breeds should be chosen. If the
birds are to be sold as broiler*
in addition to producing eggs,
the Rocks or Reds would be con
sidered. Each breed has its pur
pose and fits into the poultry pro
ducing industry so any beginner
should set up definite objectives
and stick to them.

Question: Are growers who
hare signed reduction contracts
required to keep records on their
crops? ^ r j
Answer: No. but a simplified
record book has been, prepared
for the convenience of all grow-'
ers who hare signed the adjust
ment contracts. This will aid
the grower in keeping a record
of his acreage, his production
and sales and will help him in
filling out the special forms and
reports necessary in making out
his contract according to the re
quirements of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. It
always pays a farmer to keep
records of his business.
til
Question: How much feed
should be planned for a dairy cow
for one year?
Answer: This depends upon
the individual animal but as a
general rule each cow will re
quire two tons of legume hay,
two acres of pasture, 16 bushels
of corn. It bushels of oats, and
600 pounds of cotton -seed meal.
Where wheat bran Is available
this may be substituted for a
part of the oats, pound for pound.
Good producing animals are
necessary for profit and the herd
should average between 250 and
300 pounds of butterfat to the
cow. If this average is not
maintained then the animal is not
paying for her feed and should
be taken from the herd.
tn
Question: How much of the
land rented under a tobacco re
duction contract can be planted
to food or feed crops?
Answer: The area of the rent
ed acres planted to grazing or
pasture or any other crop plant
ed for home consumption or use
on the farm shall not exceed one
half of the total rented acres.
If none of the acreage is planted
to crops for home consumption
than all the rented acres may be
grazed or pastured provided that
the livestock pastured or the pro
ducts from this livestock are for
home consumption only.

Question: Should my entire
poultry flock be vaccinated
against chicken pox?
Answer: Aa a general rule on
ly the young birds from 10 to
1G weeka old are vaccinated aa
the adult birda are apparently
highly resistant to the disease
If the dlaeaae has been present
in the (lock at any time In the
past several years or la now pres
ent in neighboring flocks tlw
birda ahould be vaccinated aa
soon aa possible. Material for
vaccinating can be aecured from
any reliable firm and detailed In
structions for applying the vac
cine will be furnished upon re
quest by the Poultry Department
of State College.

Question: How can a tobac
co grower get rid of mosaic in
the Held?
Answer: If the disease was
present in the Held the past year
It Is Impossible to get rid of It
this year. The virus will live
over in the soil for one or more
years. If the plants are to set
where the disease was not pres
ent then care should be exercised
to plant only mosaic free plants.
The plant bed should be gono
over very carefully and all di
seased plants destroyed. Do not
handle healthy plants after pull
ing out those that are diseased.
After t?e plants are set they
should again be examined and ,
any plant showing signs of the
disease should be pulled. See
your Farm Agent for more de- 1
tailed information.
THE MYSTERY
CLEARED
The practical utility of spiritual
law la being enforced by faith In
the national government, in the
will of the people voiced by the
chief executive. In every ace de
pressions are due to the fact that
humanity Is Itself superior to its
own Institutions and parts that
go to make up the whole.
In the United State* of America
we have no dictator, and can have
none, for the aimple reason that
in this democratic country every
mother's son Is of the royal blood
of "life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness", that builds up Its
organisations and institutions as
tools, instruments, paraphernalia
and swadllng clothes worn on the
way to spiritual manhood.
Those nations and peoples who
flcht for a place in the sun, for
racial or national idealism, for
Nirvana, and yet who deny the
redeeming Spirit of Christ, and
set up reincarnation, non-violent
disobedience, or absorption, are
trying to take flesh and blood in
to the kingdom of heaven, where
nothing foul can enter.
Not extinction but individual
spiritual Identity is developed by
the word made flesh, to uplift the
human by the Divine, as exem
plified in the Immaculate concep
tion, birth, life, word and works
of our human and divine Teach
er, and this is the underlying
principle of all righteous govern
ment and presidential leadership.
Christianity is not a national,
| an international, nor even a plan
etary movement. It is the law of
the infinite, the spiritual law that
sustains the universe, In which
the nations are mere families of
mankind being regenerated and
uplifted into higher realms of
.spiritual nativity, for the safe and
sane utility of all peoples under
; Christ as God wills.
The whole mystery is partially
cleared up in my TREATISE ON
SPIRITUAL LAW sent postpaid
on receipt of 11. Many who have
>read this treatise have volunteer
ed to say that every man, woman
and child should have It. It
strengthens and imbues political
truth, society and civilisation,
with, a refreshing modicum of
spiritual wisdom and understand
ing that are much needed today.
To this end a series of adver
tisements are now running in sev
eral thousand newspapers, and
every dollar received will be used
to publish and extend a knowl
edge of the practical utility of
spiritual law. It is hoped that
millions will respond and that
the visions of faith that made this
nation the leader may be speedily
restored.
Send a dollar bill with jrosr name
and address, I'll take the chaaec.
