IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.
Letter From Special Agent Ross of U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
I cannot get over a large part
of my district in time for soy
bean planting. I am anxious that
this plant, the most valuable ad
dition to the list of recent years,
be tested in all six of the counties,
Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon,
Somerset, Bedford and Fulton.
The varieties I have on hand
are, with the exception of three,
not for sale commercially; and
are heavier yielders than the
commercial varieties. My sup
ply of seed is limited.
No variety shows the same
habits in all districts; differences
of soil and climate affect them all;
and what may be of great value
elsewhere may not be so good
here. For this reason the variety
tests proposed cover from 5 to 8
varieties planted side by side.
The tests are to determine the
yielding power, frost resistauce,
the percentage of loss of seed
through pods shattering in the
field and the ability of each vari
ety to hold its leaves while ripen
ing beans.
For dairy work the soy bean is
invaluable; for meat production
it heads the list of annual plants.
It is one of the very few plants
from which a crop can be taken
and the soil improved- at the
same time.
By the use of the soy bean,
clover and vetch (of which latter
I will write later,) poor lands can
rapidly be built up without any
halt m the croping system; in
fact the crops taken will be of
very much greater value than
those under our present rotation,
while the land is being steadily
built up to a high state of fertili
ty. The secret lies in the power
of these three legumes to draw
nitrogen from the air and potash
and phosphoric acid from the
subsoil.
I will send out soy beans for
those tests to thos e applying for
them only while the seed on hand
lasts. I will inoculate the seed
before sending it, and planting
should then be at once after re
ceipt of the seed. Lots su Bicient
to plant i to i acre will be seut
out; and those applying must
state how much land they have
ready or are preparing, and
when they will plant. Planting
should not be delayed now. The
crop will belong to the planter, of
course; but we expect him to
make out a report of the expert
ment on a form which will be
made as simple and plain as possi
ble. The wise farmer will save
seed from the varieties showing
the greatest local value. Those
which fail to mature must be
left and turned under. Last year
none failed to mature, though
some varieties were planted at a
much later date than this. If it
should be necessary to turn un
der some, however, the added sup
ply of humus will more than pay
for the labor and - trouble.
Should there be more calls than
we can till, a list will be made and
those to whom we do not send
seed will bo advised later of the
results of the tests and of where
and at what price they can get
seed for 1912; and the price of
the seed will be reasonable.

CUT WORM REMEDIES.
Timely Discussion of an Important
Topic.
An editor of one of the large
Pennsylvania daily newspapers
wrote to Prof. U. A. Surface,
State Zoologist, Harrisburg, that
one of his readers had asked
what to do. "to prevent worms
fiom cutting tomato plants as
fast as planted."
As Cut Worms are unusually
abundant and destructive this
spriDg, the reply of Prof. Sur
face may help many persons with
needed information:
"Your inquirer does not state
what kind of worms are 'cutting
his tomato plants,' nor does be
describe In detail how the work
is dodo. As it is possible for
this injury to come from any one
of several kinds of pests, 1 can
be safein guessing which one is
causing the trouble. The reme
dies vary with the nature of the
pest. However, I presume It is
done by the cutworm, which cuts
off the plants at night near the
surface of the ground.
"While this is one of the most
seriously destructive pests
throughput the State destroying
nearly all kinds of garden and
field plants, yet it u one that is
easily controlled if the gardener
but knows how. The best reme
dy for the cut worm is known as
the, poison bran mash. This is
made by mixing one part of pans
green with forty or fifty parts of
dry bran. After it is thoroughly
mixed pour over it some water to
which has been added a little
strong molasses. Use enough
of this sweetened water to dam
pen it slightly.
"In the evening put a small
pinch of this, such as one-fourth
teaspoon ful or less, at the base
of each plant, or drop it along two
or three feet apart in the row
where the plants are set, or
where they are to be planted.
It can also be used in the same
way in corn rows in fields to de
stroy the cut worms there.
"I know a good Lancaster coun
ty farmer who last year cleaned
up the cut worms in his entire
corn field hy mixing the dry pois
on bran and sowing it by hand
broadcast over the surface of the
ground, after the corn was plant
ed. He replied to me that he had
a good crop of corn without dam
age by the cut worms, while his
neighbors had to replant.
"If one is afraid of fowls taking
the poison bran, it can be applied
by putting it under boards, or by
dropping it on the soil near the
plants, and putting a little loose
damp earth over it"

Having Hints.
Cut clover hay when about half
the blossoms are brown; cut tim
othy just as the bloom is falling,
Curing clover: Cut it as soon as
the dew is off in the morning. At
noon shake out the bunches, rake
into windrows before evening
dews get on it, and let it lie next
day, Next day shake out the
hay as soon as the dew is off.
You ought to be ready to haul, on
a hot day, by eleven o'clock, ' or
certainly alter dinner. It spoils
clover hay to get too dry. It
should never be put into the barn
when wet with rain or dew; but
a little sap won't hurt it Curing
timothy: If the crop is not too
heavy and rank, cut as soon as
the dew is off, let it cure a lew
hours, rake into windrows, and
haul to the barn the same day,
If crop is rank; cut it in the after
noon; it will wilt some during the
night and dew will not hurt it,
Next day's sun will dry it in a
few hours when it can be raked
into windrows; haul it to the
barn in the early afternoon.

BIG CIRCUS.
Forcpaugh and Sells Brothers to Ex
hibit at Chambersburg June
Nineteenth.
The Great Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brother's circus will
give two performances in Cham
bersburg on Monday June 19th.
In New York City this show is
considered the best of all Ameri
can amusement institutions. For
nearly fifty years it has held first
place in the esteem of the public
In fact of the world, tor there
is not a country on earth that is
civilized where at some time or
another it has not pitched . its
many acres of tents.
The sensation with the show
this year is the automobile dou
ble somersault in mid air, accom
plished by a young French wo
man not yet out of teens. For
uttar recklessness and apparent
disregard of death this act stands
pre eminent. The heavy car
shoots with lightning speed down
a slender incline, leaps high in
air and while the audience is
gasping it turns two complete re
volutions in space, then dropping
with terrific force to a steel plat
form. This is the most thrilling
of all the world's thrillers. Cii-
cuses in the past have exploited
a tame affair billed as a double
somersaulting automobile act,
but when the truth is known but
one and one half revolutions were
accomplished. This is the only
act of genuine character that has
been seen in this country. It is
a French importation.
Other thrills are added by the
Ty-Boll "Human Butter files."
They are three beautiful French
girls who, clinging by the teeth
to slender steel wires, are drawn
to the dome of the tent, where
by means of hidden mechanism
they are made to dive, dart and
piourette like birds while a bat
tery of electric spot lights and
calciums bathe them infantastie
colors. The act is the most sen
sational and at the same time the
most beautiful aerial spectacle
ever devised.
The parade which the show is
giving this year is three miles
long and absolutely new in ideas
from start to finish. Over 1,000
people, 550 horses and three
herds of elephants are seen in it.
The entire equipment of the
show is new and the . menagerie
is the most complete collection of
rare animals in America.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucoused lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumb
liug sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will bo
destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
