It iz one thing to know how to grow
a crop; it is quite a diflerent matter to
be able to protect that crop froas die-
eacer, The rapid spread of plant die
epses in the past few years is alarming,
and many growers of crops
realize that at the present time protec-
tion against diseases is one of the most
important features in the growing of a
guccessful crop.
Not the least of the several protec-
tive and precautionary measures to be
special
taken in growing a crop is sanitatiop,

ment of plant pathology at the Penr-

Repal: Work Discontinued,
Work on Blate roads throughout
the country districts, or rather the
state repair work such ss was being
done in Penns Valley, was discontin-
ued on Monday. Joseph Carson, under
whose supervision the work on the
Seven Mountains was done, also did a
great deal of work between Centre Hill
aud Potters Mille, and belween the
latter piece and Colyer, which is a
part of the Htate road route between
Potters Mil 8 and State College, The
hill at Ed. Brown’s coruer, where the
last day 8 of the road work season were
spent, is a good example of what can
be done in the way of road improve
ment without expending a great
amount of money.
Home work was done on the Brush
Valley road, east of Centre Hall, under
the supervision of I. A. Bweeltwood.
Little or no grading was done here,
the work consisting mostly of opening
the side ditches and disposing of the
breakers across the road on the hille,

Tusseyvilie's Thank -Oifering Service,
Haturday evening the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary Be
ciety of the Lutheran church, at] Tus-
seyville, held their annual Thank-of-
fering service in the Uplon church.
No better sentiment for the cause of
missions exists in Centre county than
in the rural section surrounding Tue-
seyville, and this year’s offering , of
seventy dollars Is evidence of that fact.
The Thapk-offering service always in-
cludes 8a good program of recitations
and singing by the younger mission
workers of the church and Saturday
evening's performance wae up to the
usual good standard.
