SALUVU
John Welsh a young man of
Brush Creek Valley, while driv
ing logging team for Reichtley
Bros, in Orefou on Tuesday of
last week, had one of his legs bro
ken, and William Schooley, of Sa
lovut, had one of his feet crushed
while be waa engaged in the same
business, near th same locality.
Baltzer F. Mellott, an efficient
blacksmith and machinist, is
prostrated with rheumatism and
is as helpless as a babe.
Rev. Ahimaas Mellott is still
very low, with not much hope of
recovery.
, Mrs. Homer L. Sipes is still
suffering from the after effects of
gr-ppe, but we gladly report that
sbe seems to be better.
The children of five or six fam
ilies in the lower end of Licking
Creek township have measles.
But these families are taking the
precaution to prevent the spread
of the disease to the schools.
We are glad to note that J. Nel
son Daniels, Needmore route No.
1, is again able to be about after
his long illness. We saw him
last Saturday as he drove along
Lincoln Highway to and from the
mill, and we fear be received a
good drenching from the rain be
fore he reached home.
Tbe Licking Creek District
i chool examinations of candidates
ior diplomas was held at Harn
sonville last Saturday.
The report that a.little daugh
ter of Riley Sipes of Licking
Creek township was taken to the
Chambersburg Hospital must
have been a mistake, as to the
name of the person because Riley
of this township is not married,
and lives with and cares for his
aged mother, Mrs. Oliver Sipes.
. Messages were sent on Mon
, day. to the relatives of David Clev
eager, brother of Hiram Cleven
ger, deceased, notifying them
that he was not expected to live.
Revs. Yearick and Croft did
not come t o their respective
Green Hill churches last Sunday.
The woolly worm weather prog
nostication is still being verified
notwithstanding tbe groundhog
would not endorse it The zero
temperature of Monday morning
the three inches of snow, and the
bleak, frosty, north wind were
all forecasted in the blaek belt at
tail-end.
We fear very much for the
Viext fruit crops. The hot waves
of January pushed the buds for
ward so much that the present
cold may injure them.
Eli Largent who "shanties"
below Cape Hern on the Lincoln
Highway and has charge of the
horses used in grading the Mc
Connellsburg and Fort Loudon

Can Yon Solve It -Unless
some eminent authority
come to the rescue very soon, we
fear for the peace of mind of say
eral prominent retired farmers
of this section who are daily con
tending over the solution of the
following problem: A square field
of wheat containing 160 acres is
to be cut.by two men", each using
an 8-foot cut binder. The order
of working is, each is to cut
around the four sides until all
is cut one following the other
around the field, "and retaining
their respective positions until
the job is finished. Does one cut
more than the other? If so, how
much? If a harvesting contract
hinge on the solution, better be
gin now to solve the problem.

Oats Smut
Under the direction of State
College, a vigorous campaign
against Oats Smut and Potato
Scab is being waged this spring
in districts where those diseases
are troublesome. It is earnestly
desired that all farmers join the
effort to stamp out smut and
scab. By thoroughly wetting
seed potatoes with a 'solution of
one Dint of formalin mixed with
30 gallons of water before plant
ing, scab may be controlled. For
oats, use a pint of formalin to 40
gallons of water. This quantity
will disinfect forty or fifty bush
els of oats. About March the 1st
the News will publish ull direc
tions for the treatment pf . seed
oats and seed potatoes. The
News has been requested to in
form its readers that the Depart
ment of Extension, State College
Pa., will furnish formalin at the
rate of 30 cents a pint delivered,
if orders are received very soon.
You are requested to call your
neighbors, attention to this offer
and thereby help greatly to rid
your. community of-smut and
scab. Arrange for your forma'
lin at once, as ' the Department
wishes to know the full quantity
that may be called for before
placing its order with the manu
facturer. A ,
We have as&ed local .druggists
if they keepV formalin, and the
price. They say reasonable quan
tities are kept on sale, and that
the price is 30 cents a pint.
Whether you .. order . from your
druggist or, from State College,
arrange for it in good time ' for
seeding. -i "

chickens. It urges its readers, to
call on neighbors who do npt
raise chickens and "Coax them
into it shame them into it shove
them into it" That and other
