It isn’t the bad that you did down here, When your time of life is through; That will hurt you so much in the other sphere, * As the good you didn’t do. Oh, the times you slipped and the times you fell Won’t show when your race is run; But it’s going to hurt when you’re forced to tell, The good you could have done. —Edgar A. Guest. Mrs. C. R.

The crea tion of a district court, in Shelby will be a great convenience to lawyers, lit igants and witnesses in this section who have had to undergo the incon venience of travelling as far as *>0 to 100 miles to other districts in Western court jurors. It will mean the attend ance of 100 or more litieants, wit nesses and attorneys here twice a venr when the terms of court will )*•> held. It may also mean that a federal court building will be erected here in the course of years or that another storv may be added to the postoffice buildings for a court room. When the bill was introduced pro. nosing a district eourt in Shelby, it had the unanimous approval of the house judiciary committee which made a favorable report, so if the bill did not have the concurrence of the senate Saturday because of the rush of busi ness in the closing hours of the ses. sion, it will no doubt pass the senate immediately after it reconvenes in November.

(Prepared by th» United State* Department of Agriculture ) The year's work of the bureau of plnnt Industry described in tlie report recently made to the secretary of agri culture shows much progress”In solv ing the problems of plant production, the control of diseases, the breeding of Improved varieties, the Introduction "f promising seeds and plants from for eign countries and the development of methods for the utilization of perish able crops, such ns fruits and vegeta bles. Much of tlte work done 1? of the kind which brings its greatest returns after there has been time for the com mercial development of discoveries. In combating plant diseases a great deni of progress has been made through obtaining highly resistant or immune strains by trial and selection. In this way strains of wheat have been secured which promise to he valuable In sections where hunt has damaged this crop. Varieties resistant to Hag smut are being developed, and this dis ease Is no longer considered the men ace It was thought to lie a few years ago. Attempts are being made to grow strains resistant to both flag smut and rosette. In the study of scab, a disease which damages both wheat and corn, it has been discovered that wheat seedlings are more resistant when grown at comparatively low soil temperatures and that corn seedlings are more resista^ to it when the soil is warm. Bnrberry eradication was carried on extensively in co-operation with a number of states for the control of black stem rust, and up to the pres ent time nearly 0.000,000 hushes have been erndlchted. Chemicals are being used successfully to destroy the bushes In places where digging is not practi cable. New Crops Developed. New varieties of oats have been se cured in co-opemtion with state ex periment stations and n number of them are being distributed. The root and stalk rots of corn have been found to require special soil management for their control; in some cases proper fertilization and amendments ore ail that is required, while to, control the parasitic types crop rotation is needed In addition. Some new forage crops are being developed and Improved va rieties of common crops have been developed and new methods are being tried for handling them. New nnd rare field seeds are being brought into the country, tried out, increased and dis tributed to growers. T.nck of space in n brief article puts a limit on the details- which -can be given on the various lilies of work car ried on with the many important crops. Valuable results have been obtained in the treatment of “tobacco sick" soils and means have boon found for the prevention of a condition known as “sand drown" by the use of magnpsia. Various pltases of eotton production have received attention, including cul tural methods and special varieties to help in tile control of tiie boil weevil, trials of cotton classing in the field and breeding to muiutain tiie purity of Egyptian cotton grown in the South west. Extensive work has been done with fruits and nuts, studies have been made of the possibilities of growing binder twine fiber in Porto Rico, the Virgin islands nnd the Philippines. The improvement of .citrus fruits is now being greatly increased through the use of bml selection from trees with performance records, a method developed by the department, and means have been found for the control of stem-end rot of citrus fruits. Through work being carried on in the Southwest tiie Infant date industry is being greatly stimulated, and there is a new interest In the production of figs. The fruit nnd nut Industries, are being helped not only through She in troduction and development of better varieties and methods of growing, hut also through studies of handling and shipping the products. It was shown that berries produced in the Northwest can bo shipped greater distances suc cessfully if handled more carefully and precooled. A scries of tests have shown that nuts of various kinds can be kept from two to three years if held at a temperature as low as 32 degrees. Plant Diseases Combated. The principal vegetables reported on were potatoes, sweet potatoes and ,peas.. Improvements have been ob tained through the selection of seed stocks, the development of improved varieties and in the control of dlseuses. In 1 he field of forest trees work has been carried on with white pine blister rust, which is now spreading in the Northwest, nnd in the East with chest nut blight. The Chinese chestnut has been found quite resistant to the dis ease. In addition to these two impor tant trees which are menaced, It is re ported that another valuable tree, the Douglas fir, is in danger of cunker, which occurs on these trees In Scotland and which already may be In this country. Among the many other problems given attention in tlm report are wood conservation, the effects of length of day on plant responses, soil bacteriol ogy, the prevention of alkali injury on Irrigated lands, sources of crude rub ber, explorations in many parts of the world for new plants and seeds. Among thVqjromising new fruits given special mention ate Eurouni olives. Fiiyu persimmons and several new avocados. Another new plant la Men tha cltrata, of the mint family.

He was a man of fine business talent, enterprising and forward looking. As a leader of his party.
