waved his hand vigorously. When the

not seem to astonish the rest of the
class, but it was a cold shock to her.

Plant Industry
Shows Progress
Fight on Diseases Made hy
Selection of Highly Re-
sistant Strains.
(Prepared by the United States Department
ef Agriculture.)
The year's work of the bureau of
plant industry described In the 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 of
promising seeds and plants from for-
elgn countries and the development af
methods for the utilization of perish-
able crops, such as fruits and vegeta-
bles. Much of the work done is of the
kind which bripgs its greatest returns
after there has been time for the com-
mercial development of discoveries.
In combating plant diseases a great
deal of progress has been made
through obtaining highly resistant or
Immune strains by trinl and selection,
In this way strains of wheat have been
pecured which promise to be valuable
in sections where bunt has damaged
this crop. Varieties resistant to fing

ease 18 no longer considered the men-

ago. Attempts are being made to
grow strains resistant to hoth flag

a disease which damages both wheat
and corn, it has heen discovered that
wheat seedlings are more resistant
when grown at comparatively low soll
temperatures and that corn seedlings

being greatly stimulated, and there Is
a new Interest In the production of
figs. The fruit and nut industries are
being helped not only through the In-
troduction and development of better
varieties and methods of growing, but
also through studies of handling and
shipping the products. It was shown
that berries produced In the Northwest
can be shipped greater distances sue

precooled. A series of tests have
shown that nuts of various kinds can
be kept from two to three years if held

Cloth Coverings Good
Against Mild Frosts
Is Conducted to Surface.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Coverings of rather heavy cloth laid
directly over garden truck or other
low-growing plants are effective in pro-
tecting against moderate frosts, the
United States Department of Agricul
ture reports, The heat from the ground
and the plants is thus conserved, and
the losses of heat by radiation from
the plant to the sky are cut off ; more-
over, the alr movement is so slight
near the ground that there is little
tendency for the cold outside alr to be
forced under or through the covering.
The ‘temperature of the surface of
the cloth exposed to the sky Is lowered
by radiation and may fall to a low
point, but as both the cloth itself and
the alr underneath it are very poor
conductors of heat, the temperature of
the covered plants fzlls much more
slowly. The heat that has penetrated
a few Inches into the ground during
the day is slowly conducted to the
surface during the night and aids In
keeping the temperature under the
cover above the freezing point.
It Is evident, therefore, that cover
ings of this kind should be placed
early in the evening when a frost is
expected, before much of the heat ac-
cumulated In the soll during the day
has been lost. Tin cans or other metal
coverings should not be used to protect
plants from frost. Metals are good
conductors of heat and are also good
Therefore the temperature Is likely to
this kind as in the outside air.

Vigorous Gobbler Will
Care for Fifteen Hens
If good gobblers are scarce there is
no reason why two neighbors cannot
keep thelr turkey hens on the same
farm until such time as they have been
served by the gobbler. One serviee
from the gobbler is sufficient to fer
tilize all the eggs that will be lald at
a succeeding egg-laying period. How-
ever, when the turkey hens quit lay-
ing another service will be necessary
before the subsequent eggs of the sec
ond laying period are fertile.
A vigorous gobbler will only serve
about fifteen hens,
It would be somewhat less trouble
some to transfer the turkey tom rather
than the turkey hens, After one neigh-
bor is positive that the gobbler has
covered all of the hens on his farm
the tom eould be moved over to the
other neighbor's farm.

In addition a scratch ration of shelled
