Ga'dasing Hints for Jane.
June is a critical month for the gard-
ener, for it is then that his fight with
weeds and insects begins in earnest.
Dry weather is also likely to set in
during June, which means that thoro-
ugh and continuous cultivation must
be followed, says a State College gar-
den expert.
Coltivation will take care of the
weeds if they are small, but if they are
not controlled in time their removal
in June may mean tedious and hard
work.
The insects sre controlled by poison,
applied io dust or liquid form, if they
are leaf eaters. If their injury is by
sucking plant juices, tobacco sprays
are used.
If the potato blight has been preva
lent in the neighborhood, and if the
weather is damp and sultry, it will be
well to epray the potatoes with a com-
pound of bordeaux mixture and lead
arsenate, the latter necessary to kill
the potato beetle which has likely
made its presence known. Bordeaux
mixture is used to combat the blight.
In June if you have not already
done so, set tomatoes, early celery,
eggplant, pepper plant, opion trane-
plants. Okra, too, should be started.
About the middle of the month stop
cutting asparagus, weed the bed, har-
row and manure, Another seeding of
sweet corn should be made, as should
one of beans. If limss do well early
June is the time for a sowing.

Dealiog With the Slacker.
Every community has a few citi-
zene, abundantly able to support the
Red Croee and other war activities but
who refuse to do so, It has long been
8 question how to deal with such indi-
viduale, A bank in Pasadens, Cal,
seems to have solved the problem in a
red-blooded manner. The bank sent
the following letter to one of its cus-
tomers who had declined to do his
part in the support of war work :
Dear Bir :
We hold at the present {ime about
$60,000 worth of first mortgages be-
longing to you, on which we collect
payments for you, We have held as
high as $90.000 of these. We know
that you own stock here, and real es
tate in Iows, that makes you a wells
oft man. Yon are what a bank regards
as a good customer, and we are indebt-
ed to you for past business,
You have not subscribed to the Red
Cress or any other war work ; and so
far es we know, you are not supports
ing your country in any way.
You are not only a detriment, but a
menace to this community, This
bank cannot afford to thrive on such
business as youre. We have too many
calls from patriotic citizens these days
to be willing to extend credit to you in
order that you may reinvest at from
seven per cent, up. You will therefore
please take up your small note of $300
immediately: also call at the bank and
receipt for your securities, and take
your business to some bank that has
money to lend to German sympathis-
ers, Yours truly,
THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
PASADENA.
The time has come when a man is
either for or against America in this
struggle. There can be no balancing
on the fence. Neither the Red Crose
nor any other war organization asks
the person who cannot subscribe to
make a pledge to the support of its ac-
tivities but every individual who has
erjoyed the protection and prosperity
of this great country Is expected to do
his share,
dpstitutions tage the stand of thie
western bank and there will be many
non-subscribers running into shelter.

To Inspect Various Types of Silos. —A
Regular Fioniec Trip,

years—a quarter of a century—with a
horse and wagon in the draying busi-

as a drayman have been spent in Cen-

Lightning Destroys Property.
During the severe thunder storm of
Saturday night, lightning struck and
destroyed two buildings near Belle-
fonte. The one was the crusher build-
ing belonging to the American Lime
and Btone Company. The building
was a laige one and was totally des
troyed by the elements,
When the storm was at the height
of its fury a flash of lightning struck
the dwelling house on the Dr. Brocker-
hoff farm, located slong the Jack:on.

of Bellefonte and burned it to the
ground, The farm is tensnted by a
Mr. Corman, who with his wife and
family of seven children had retired
for the night when their house was
struck. The father had time only to
dress in a pair of trousers and slip on
his shoes, while Mre. Corman, in a
kimons, was compelled to look after
the safety of her children. Bo rapidly
did the house become enveloped in
flames that not a single article was
saved by the Corman family, who
have been placed in destitute circum-

| VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN VENNA,
A Series of Articles Leading Up to the
Gregg Township Vooational School st
Spring Mills,
[By Prof, W, W, Reitz, Bupervisor of Agricul
ture of the Gregg Township vocational Behool, |
PART III.
THE BIRTH OF GREGG TOWNSHIP VO-
CATIONAL BCHOOL,
Carly in the spring of 1817 the Gregg
township school board got in commu-
nication with the Bureau of Voeation-
al Education in order to obtain infor-
mation concerning vocational educa
tion. The members of the board were
not familisr with the vocational law
but they were aware of its existence
and determined to avail themselves of
its advantages if such & thing were
poesible. Accordingly the Bureau
sent Mr, Heim, one of the supervisors
of agricultural cducation, to ioterview
the board and to investigate the loce-
tion and possible prospects. Mr, Heim
made two trips to Spring Mille, each
time meeting the school board as well
ag many of the prominent citizens,
He reported favorably on the spirit
of the people and the fitness of the lo-
cation, The echool board wes well
pleased with the information it gained
concerning vocational education and
the proposition made by the State.
From the fact that Gregg township
is a etrictly agricultural community, it
was agreed that it was an excellent lc-
cation for a Vocational Bchool, teach-
ing sgriculture and household arte,
The echool bosid at once decided to
meet the requirements of the Btate
and convert the third grade High
school at Bpring Mills into a Voration-
al School. Fo far everything looked
favorable but the proposition wes dec-
tined to meet temporary dissppoint-
ment, The Blate had previous to this
time establiched all (he pew schools
possible with the money available for
that year, When it first conferred
with Gregg township i's Iiptention
was to take the money for this school
put of the funds made available by the
Federal sppropriation known as the
“mith Hughes Bill, However the
Federal Board which should have
charge of the distribution of that fund
was not sppointed until late in the
summer and when it was appointed it
did pot at once determine how the
money should be distributed. This
Jef the Btate in suspense and it looked
very much as though Gregg township
would pot get its school that year,
However the Bmith Hughes Bill desig.
pated that a definite sum, about onc
third, should be used for the training
of vocational teachers, The Blate had
hoped from the first to make the
Gregg township school a * practice
teaching’ or training school, becsuse
of ita proximity to Stata College.
Therefore it decided to establish the
school and asociate it with Btate Col-
lege, as 8 model school, using the
fonds made available for the training
of teachers,
It wasn't until the last week in July
that the Htate notified the school
board that it should have the school.
Mr. Dennie, the Director of Vczation-
al Education in Pennsylvania, notified
me about the school and saked wheth-
er I would consent to be transferred
from Mercer, where I had charge of
the vocational department in the
High Echool, to this school. I came
to Bpring Mills during the firet week
in August. Prof. W. V. Godshall,
who had been principal of the High
school, was retained as Director for the
firat year, and Miss Nancy Hunter of
Bellefonte and a graduate of Drexell
Institute, was elected Bapervisor of
Home Making, We had less than one
month's time in which to secure and
equip quarters for the vocational de-
partments. The High school building
wes not large enough for that purpose,
In this time vocational education had
to be explained to the people, and pu-
pils had to be secured. A citizens’
meeting was called in the Grange hall
for this purpose and to solicit the sup-
port of the people. The hall was filled
and the interest that was manifest
was very eucouraging to the school
board and those in charge. A pamph-
let wes printed deeoribing the nature
and purpcse of the school together
with an outline of ita couress of study,
This wes distributed among the citi
zens and prospective pupile. During
the following two weeke, meetings
were held st Coburn, Madisonburg,
Potters Mille, Tuoseeyville snd the
Murray school houre. Much personal
canvassing was also done.
In the meantime quarters were bee
ing preparcd in the Grange hall, The
first floor, which was used for public
mestinge, was fitted up for the agri.
cultural department, while the second
floor was to be occuplcd by the house-
hold arts department, The lodge
room was used for a recitation room
and sewing laboratory, and the Grange
kitchen was equipped es a cooking
laboratory.

Fasture for the Yogng Colt,
If this year's colt is to be developed
into a good horee, now is the time to
begin. If the weather will permit,
the young colt and ils mother should
be kept on pasture as much of the
time as possible. Life on pasture in-
creases the milk flow of the mother
and permits the young colt to get the
necessary exercise for its development,
saye Dr. I. D. Wilson, of the Pennsyl-
vania State College animal husbandry
department, Moreover, the colt will
be freer from disease if kept away from
stables that are likely to be unsanitary,
Later in the summer when the flies
begin to bother, a partly darkened
shed of some sort is beneficial to pro.
tect the animals from the sun and
flies. Ifa shed is not available, shade
trees answer the purpose very well,
Plenty of cool pure water should al-
waye be at hand.

The following week should be

which would be attained should only
infertile eggs be produced cannot be
wholly estimated. However, it is a
well known fact that the rooster is rc
sponsible for the loss of over a million
dollars worth of eggs in Pennsylvania.
If this loess could be eliminated it
would mean much to our allies, who,
at the present time are in great need
of poultry and egge. The matter is
entirely up to the producer. Will you
produce only infertile eggs?
