Then, when the blooms start to opeji, this plant should be bagged. A No. 25 paper bag or poke is best for this. It is well to punch some holes in this poke with a large needle. After first plucking off any blooms that may have opened slip this poke over the hejad of the plant and tie it with a cord around the stalk, not letting Swannanoa vallev above the town of Swannanoa. Each year they hold a picnic at this farm to which all the residents of Western North Carolina are especially invited. At this pic nic there are talks by the work ers of the State Experiment station, telling of their work. Also, generally outside speak ers are brought in to address t.hp bodv. This y&ar we un- stalk. Before placing the. poke over it is well to dust the head with a mixture of arsenate of lead and corn meal mixed 1 part of arsenate of lead to 75 parts of cornmeal by weight. This will destroy the worms. Leave the poke on the head un til all seed pods ara formed. Question 2. How can we grow seed that will be root-rot re sistant? derstand that the principal i Answer.

During the month of July, I have held 13 girls club meetings, these be ing at Hot Springs, White Rock, Enon Sandy Mush, Beech Glen, Spring Creek, Walnut, Little Pine; and nine women's clubs, these being at Wal nut, Spring Creek, Hot Springs, Pio neer and Enon. The women's clubs during July have been studying canning. At each of these meetings I have given a demonstration in the canning and making of jelly. Carrots, tomatoes, beans and blackberry jelly have been demonstrated. The women have been interested in canning and have asked to continue this work at their next meeting. The girl's clubs have continued their clothing and most of them have sectional meetings, the, dele gates worked long and hard in studying the needs of the State and the best solution of its ag ricultural problems. The, result of this labor was embodied in a series of reports made on the last day and adopted by sec tions. These reports will be condensed in a publication of t h e Agricultural Extension Service and published as soon as it can be made ready. In the resolutions, the farmers called for a further study of rural taxation, encouraged the work of the Federal Farm Board, endorsed the county government advisory conj Mission, asked again for further fi nancial aid in securing an months term for public ommended better research faevhti" for agricultural Pms and called for more respect for tow.

The visitors are also given opportunity to inspect the ex perimental work in crops, in livestock, and in poultry and horticulture that is being car ried on at this farm. There is some one at each kind of work being done who will explain it to the visitors. Every farmer in Western North Carolina should make it a point to visit this farm at least once each year and the annual picnic day is fine time to do so. This year the 15th of Aug ust, Thursday, has been select ed for the picnic. Every one should take with them a well filled lunch basket. We hope that there will be a large rep resentation from Madison County. The county agent and the assistant county agent are both going to be there. directed in answer to Question 1.

Monday he stepped into the of fice and said, "Well, that root Tot tobacco is growing.' When I put it out one of my neigh bors told me that it might do it - tut he would have to see it '.growing.'

Sams, Send in the news from rocr eon t' r.t molts durin? Extension Eee Specialist, will munity to The Kews-Eeceri THAT years ago lots was said a bout "trusts" and "trust busting." All such opposition seems to have passed if you can judge by the popu larity of Investment Trusts. The exception seems to be the mythical "power trnst," From the best in formation obtainfclde, the Electric Bond and Share company is the larg est owner and operator of electric utilities in the United States. From the best information avail able, one group of newspapers con trols over 18 per cent of the daily circulation in the United States. Therefore, if there is a "power trust" there certainjy is a 'newspaper trust.' My personal opinion is that com binations lend to better and cheaper service. Certainly no class of busi ness in the country gives more for the money than do newspapers, and yet I'm inclined to believe that tht newspaper business is more closely controlled than the electric utility business. Think of the large num ber of municipal electric plants in the United States. Then think of the large number of small isolated elec tric companies, and then think of the number of large utility companies of (which there are some thirty-five In the Uniten States. Iot all of the owners or operators of businesses are perfect nor do they always for get their own selfish intertsts. and the same thing is true of owners and operators of utilities, but after all these people ars simply ordinary hu man beings with the same thoughts and impulses and good and bad ideas that all othet human beings have, and whether they are in the utility busi ness,' newspaper business, grocery business, or any other business, their individuality is not a great deal dif ferent. -;7V-;'?'," If all of tfca peepW fa the Vmifi States wore' palling together for ! tr Mrrie fa ry Uh that exist ancl halpati the athar fellow whaaevar it was poMihla, aaa waaM wait this etaraally try lag to' pall " dowa ' the otaar saaa hj falao or Ignorant stata meats, this grant eoaatry - of oars would not ' oaly aseel ovary other country in the worlJ, Vat would ion prove so much l' at It wou!

C The taking of the fifteenth decennial census will furnish employment for about 100, 000 throughout the country as enu merators, it has been announced by the Director of the Census. William M. Steuart. In employing these, wax veterans, their wives and widows will be given preference. The applicants will be subject to an examination but not to civil service requirements. The Census Bureau now is engaged in organizing the force of supervisors who will be required, a task which will be well advanced by the coming autumn. It is then the intention of the Bureau, Mr. Steuart said, to take up the selection of the big army of enumerators for the nation-wide task of canvassing the population, agri cultural and other statistics. At least one enumerator will be required in every political subdivision. The ex amination will consist of the answer ing of a number of inquiries to en able the Bureau to decide upon the qualifications of the applicant.
