Braman, superinten~ College Chapter of the Red Cross, a few days ago received the followirg with regard to supplying sweaters to draftees and enlisted men before they leave home for the training camps : According to the directions from Washington, the Red Cross is not al- lowed to send any article direct to the men in the campe, and if your member who desires to send a sweater to a rels- tive wiches to do se, she must do it on her own account ; in other words, it should not be made from Red Cross supplies, Regarding the matter of Chapters giving knitting articles to draftess and enlisted men, this is a practice which Washington is trying to stop, beceure when the men resch the camps they are freely supplied with these articles by the Red Croes Field Director from his Red Cross Btorebouse., Bometimes, draftees leave their homes for the cans tonments where they are physically rejected and sent home, whereupon, they sppear upon their bome town streets with a Red Cross sweater. Often the sweaters given at home are dirty and torn upon reaching camp and they are taken away from the men who are given new sweaters, You will therefore see there is a very good reason for not outfitting men at home, However, we fully realizs that many home communities have a strong sentiment toward fitting out their draftees, and while we would like to see the practice stopped, we are nevertheless permitting Chapters to do it if they feel it is really necessary in their community.

A A Potato Tip Barn and Blight, Many professional potato growers as well as an army of the war garden en- thnsissts have complained to the Pennsylvania Department of Agricul ture of the conditon of their potato flslde which are being destroyed by potato tip burn and the early ard late blight, The dry weather corditions have sggravated the tip burn and as it works in cor japction with the bight the condition of many potato patches are far from promising. Tip burn ls distinguished by the drying abd rolls ing of the leaves at the margin and the growing crop is seriovsly hinders ed, Hpraying with Bordeaux mixture will prevent toth tip burn and blight, but the spraying must be done regu- of the common sprinkling. Both late and early blight are quite by the uousual attack of the flan beetle which eats tiny round holes in the fol fage.
