MEAD CYCLE COMPANY, CHICAGO, ILL 13 SPf._Aj OPTIMISM. r.;rpo3s and Origin of the National Prcspet ity Association Tlic National I'rosp 'i i y iMsnHalion of St. I.oais w roooinly iinn*;is*vi ii~ lliomborsihj iii till* SO! 11l aii.l west by nine di. ; lout I mis i: toss assn.-inti mis. was organized an a.ldmss <ff i’> I-' Voakum, rhairninn of tin* uxooii tivo board of the U<v U Island Frisco railroads, tin* oilier ni dit bofo/o the St. Louis Traffic club. 11 is "let us alone” was taken u;> by the busi ness organizations and a "give us a rest and sunshine” planned under the National Prosperity associa tion. r l lie purpose of the organization Is to inaugurate a national movement for the restoration of confidence and a gen eral revival of commercial and indus trial activity. The platform adopted unanimously by the leaders of the m vemeut is to keep the dinner pail fail, to keep tin* pay ear going, to keep the factory busy, to keep the work men employed and to keep the present wages up. The idea spread like wildfire througb <>::t tlie country, and to aid in the dis •• initiation of the cheer the executive ••ommittee had printed 1.000,000 copies of tln* platform. These, with letters, '• ere sent to every business, labor and civic organization in the United States, in addition, tin* officers sent telegrams In the bodies asking their co-operation and requesting them to adopt the plat form and join the movement. More than u hundred different boards of trade, commercial bodies and business men’s associations outside have in formally accepted the plan, and many have officially pledged their support. ‘lt should be understood,” said Wil liam F. Lewellyn Saunders, secretary of the St. Louis Business Men’s league, “that no organization or corporation will be put to any expense. The cost of spreading the campaign throughout the United States will be borne by St. Louis.” That the campaign guarantees spe cially beneficial results is demonstrat ed by the betterment of financial, com mercial and industrial conditions since the association announced its plans. New York, Chicago and other influen tial centers report that investors are again putting their money into 3tocks and securities and that prices are ris ing. They report also a perceptible increase in business and, merchandise or \. s. The association's labors are jv-cor, plishing material results already, and pessimism is being superseded by p.v r.orui ed optimism. A .1 J)avidson of the Frisco ad sfro-sod the following notice: To Frisco Employees: To n rrect extent the welfare of the Frisco js in your hands. The manage ment i as anxious as you to keep the dir.r,er,p:in full, the pay car going, all on full time, to re-employ those who have been jet out temporarily. Business men report a decided improvement in the com mercial conditions in April. / n agree that a large proportion of the depr. ?;s’.an was due to talk. Therefore if all the Frisco employees get into the sunshine with thousands of other work ingmen who have joined the National Prosperity association and throw away their blue glasses it will be only a mat ter of days before “full day for all” con ditions will, be resumed. The National Prosperity association will convert it into sunshine to lighten the dark places. FAMILY GUM IN PERIL. Child Who Had It For the Day Reck lessly Took It to School. A little gir! in the Fairview school in Bloomfield. N. .7., was recently detected chewing gum by her teacher, who com pelled her to take it from her mouth and place it on a desk. When the noon recess arrived all tlie pupils left but the child in question, and she began to cry. “What is the trouble?” inquired the teacher. “1 want the gum,” replied the little one. “It belongs to my mother.” It seems that the gum was a family affair, and the child had simply bor rowed it for the day. The teacher per mitted her to take it home. GLORIES AND GLOOMS. New Slang, Descriptive cf Young Wo i men, Originates at Yale. The students of Yale university have invented some new slang descriptive of important conditions which affect the lives of young men. Here are some ! additions to the Yale vernacular: “A glory”—a young woman of un ! usual attractiveness. “A gloom”—a young woman of far less than average attractiveness; vide “lemon.” “A ball of fire”—a young woman i whose beauty and charm aie iiiesist ible' an ideal guest for college paities; | vide’ “peach,” “pippin,” “corker,” etc. -sr -*• I—- ~ " THE BASE COUNTf TIMES TRENTON, GA. FRIDY MAY 15 DRY ROT ' OF CORN A Disease Which Cost Illi nois Nearly Five percent Cf a Crop, i Thu so-called' 1 -dry rot” of cer (*orn, which hoe long been recog -11 i z e<l, owes its name to the man ; ner in winch the ear is affected in | the fluid. In genera’, the husks tend to turn prematurely ve'lmv ,< sooM, and the ear becomes parii ;,l o \ holly shriveled and much do used in wught. Sometimes the ears remain upright with the husks clo ely adherii g to them In ot er cases the shanks are weakened and the affected ears hang limp from their atfachmen*, or the diseased condition may no! be detected until the husk is ie moved. 1 heße diseases, appearing m more or severity year after year, have become of sufficient economic importance during the past lour or five years to cause general concern among farmers. In 1900, the year in vrhioh iben was the greatest amount of dry rot so far as any records have been | made, the loss was 4 5 per cent of the entire crop in Illinois Ihe most common of these dry | rot diseases and the one tv-h'ch during the past two seasons has j c used about 90 per cent, of'the damage, is due to a fungus known as Diplodia in ay dis Sac<*. The in fected cars shrivel up more or less darken in color, and become light in weight. The kernels are als shriveled, very brittle and loosely attached to the cob. The fungus penetrates all portions of the ear, kernels, cob and husks, ami pro duces many dark brown, two celled spores which serve to pro pagate the fungus. There are several other forms ol dry rot which are less important hut cause considerable damage which seems to lie on the increase. These are also dim to fungi and be long, for the most part, to the genus Fusarium —members of which cause serious damage to quite a number of our important cultivated plants. Tim effects of these different species of Fu-aiiun on the corn are characteristic and quite easily distinguished from each other. The ear may be affected in localized patches which are covered with a rather compact massof white mold- ike growth, when only the inner husks adheie to if, or the entire ear may be affected in the same way. Anoth er firm shows very much like the Hi plod ia disease, ex ej t that the fungus has dark pin to red color. In this case infection usually takes place in the tip of the ear. Anoth er form may be recognized by the broken, crumbly ends of scat ered kernels. With this there is little external growth of the fungus, but when present it is white, some times tinged with pink. The crumbly contents ot the kernel con tain many mostly one and two celled spores. * In the case of the Diplodia dis ease, and quite probably in that of the other forms, the fungus per petuates itself over winter in the old diseased ears and old stalks. It is not usually difficult to find throughout the summer in old corn fields, where the disease has pre viously prevailed, many pieces of old corn stalks which are infected with the Diplodia fungus. Stalks known to be two years old have been found still propducing spores. During moist periods, spores ooze from these stalks in abundance and are blown sii gly or in masse* long distances, as has been fr - Official Organ of Dadl Cot; ty. REFORMING THE OMON 'I he mania for reform is reach ing Mifli a pitch in this country that it \v< uhl not surprise us to learn that the legislatures wore passing laws to compel thistles to produce (igs. For, not content with legislating away from man many of the pleasant ves will "hieh he loycs to source himself into a profitable contrition, such is whiskey-drinking, the reformers ure now attacking nature lieiself. lire onion is to lie reformed. Some ambitious disciple of Lmher Burbank, so we are told, is at work n the invention of a seem less mion. Hut will an onion taste as -weet by any other smell? In re 'll ty it is not reform which the onion needs, but r<c ignition. It has never r* ceived its just dues in the way of praise, th nigh such weakling plants as the lily and the ose have been sung for centuries Many so- called reforms arise j Tom an unreasoning prejudice either than from the considered j mil controlled desire to bein fit t'e human race, which they pretend as their origin, and this one in particular springs from an empty i eff ctation scaree worthy to be ; ranked as a prejudice. We ate i convinced-that the onion las done more for humanity in a liberal way thm any oilier edible, i nless, indeed, we except the divine man na, which kept the Hebrews alive during their wanderings and thus prevented the Decalogue. Noth ing happens by accident, and it 3an have been nothing else than the wisely generous use of onions and garlic, persisted in for cen turies by all her people, which raised Italy to pre-eminence in an artistic way, just as sagacious de votion to beer and limherger cheese created German philosophy —D’Annunzio is an onion that has spoiled a li.tle, and Nietzsche was merely a man who had had dreams because of too much cheese. Ksthetes who can’t stand the smell of onions, or the whiff of actuality, are the most pitiable creatures!—those who would eli minate that pungent!y delicious aroma from the world are making unconcious confession of a sort of rose-water incompetence to deal with the strong and highly-season ed fact of life. —Uncle Remus’s Magazine. quently demonstrated by experi ment. Tee fungus does not, according to present knowledge, grow upon any other host, and. upon devel oping corn only on the ears. Not so much is known of the other fungi here concerned, but since 90 per cent, of the rot is due to Di plodia, less attention need be given (o them. Diseased ears are fruit s fu‘l sources of subsequent infection and should *be removed as prompt ly as possible.* This can be read ily done at the time of husking, if not before. Keep them in a sepa rate receptacle and burn them as soon as practicable. In addition to this, in fields where any con siderable amount of disease has been found, the stalks should also have attention, whatever crop is to follow. Something may be gain ed by carefully plowing them un der and leaving them well covered but burning may be required even if this is otherwise bad procedure, such a field should not be replant ed to corn for at least two years. If the fiist suggestion is always followed and the ot tiers are put into practice whenever necessity demands it, these, serious losses may be practically prevented. — From circular issued trom Illinois Experiment Station by T.
