NEWS LETTER
Allegheny Regional
Advisory Meeting
The Allegheny Regional Advisory
Board considered as its main topic at
its recent meeting at Washington, Pa.
the subject of Agriculture. Car load-
ings is of prime importance to thosz
farmers who ship in large quantities.
The kind of car and time when he can
secure it is important because pro-
duce should arrive when it is mar-
ketable.
Reports up to the present time in-
dicate a short maple sugar season.
Spray to Control
Aphids on Apples
Indications point to the worst in-
festation of aphids in five years.
Eggs are scattered in every con-
ceivable place on the limbs. and
branches of trees. Under such condi-
tions, it is reasonable to expect, that
the rosy aphis is going to be a dan-
gerous enemy in apple orchards and
attention must be paid to the control
of this insect this year.
When buds are in the delayed dor-
mant condition is the time to control
the aphids. Use lime-sulphur and
nicotine-sulphate. . If orchards have
been sprayed with oil, the lime-sul-
phur may be diluted in 1.008 specific
gravity, but if oil has not been pre-
viously applied, lime-sulphur of 1.03
specific gravity should be used. In
either case, add nicotine at the rate
of one pint to 100 gallons of the di-
Jute spray.
Oil sprays are not dependable for
controlling aphids. The information
available concerning the value of oils
for this purpose indicates that a gen-
eral recommendation for their use in
the delayed dormant period cannot be
given, since these materials under
certain conditions have caused serious
damage.
Spray the trees thoroughly and aim
to hit the ends of the buds, other-
wise, the treatment will be unsatis-
factory:
Prepare Grafting Wax
Now For Spring Work
Make your grafting wax now.
Grafting is not a difficult operation,
but certain principles must be rigidly
observed to secure success. Ome of
these is that all cut surfaces must be
completely covered with wax to pre-
vent drying out.
Two kinds of wax are in the most
general use. The first of these, the
melted wax, is made with six pounds
of crushed rosin, one pound finely cut
swax, and one pint of raw linseed oil.
The first two ingredients are melted
together, the oil is stirred in, and the
wax it ready for use. It is necessary
to keep this material in the melted
condition either with a grafting pot
or some other heating device. Do not
overheat as it may kill the tissue
when very hot. Melted wax. is ap-
plied with a brush or ladle.
May Use Soft Wax
Soft wax is made from the same
materials, but in different propor-
tions. The formula used is four
pounds of crushed resin, two pounds
of beeswax, and one-half pint of raw
linseed oil. One pound of rendered
tallow may be used instead of the oil.
The resin and beeswax should be
melted together, the oil or tallow
added and thoroughly mixed, and the
wax poured into a bucket of cold
water. The hands should be greased
and the wax taken from the water
while still warm and pulled until it is
fine grained and light amber in color.
It is then ready to use. .
This wax has the advantage that
the heat of the hands is generally suf-
ficient to make it soft enough to be
workable and a grafting pot is there-
fore unnecessary. On rather cold
days it may be carried in a bucket or
warm water to keep it soft. Melted
wax, on the other hand, is more
quickly and generally more thorough-
ly applied, and is better adapted for
use on cold days.
Either wax will keep almost inde-
finitely, and might well be prepared
at this time so as to be in readiness
when the grafting work is done.
Apply Oil to Stop
5 Red Spider Attack
Stop red spider destruction with oil.
Either a mis¢ible oil or an oil emul-
sion may be used. ~The sprays are
applied not later than the time when
the ends of the buds are breaking on
apples. On peaches the spray is ap-
plied while the buds are dormant or
not later than when they show signs
of cracking. ‘
Lime-sulphur solution applied as a
delayed dormant spray will control
the spider sufficiently when the in-
festatiow is slight, but in most apple
orchards where the spider can be de-
tected easily around the buds or on
the bark, oil sprays should be applied.
On peach trees oil sprays should
not follow lime-sulphur applications
immediately but may be applied 2 or
3 weeks later. Oil sprays must not
‘be applied in the delayed dormant
period for the control of red spider,
especially where the buds are so far
advanced that the sprays can get in-
to the center of the buds.
In spraying for protection against
this insect, thorough applications are
necessary. The covering of the un-
der sides of the limbs as well as the
upper surfaces to get effective results
is urged. The dormant sprays should
be followed with the usual summer
applications in order to reduce infes-
tation to the minimum.
Treating Oat Seed
Halts Smut Damage
Arrest the oat smut thief.
During . the past few years oat
smut has been increasing, and it is
estimated that this fungus robber re-
duced the yield of oats in Pennsyl-
vania last year two bushels on the
average and in many instances it
caused loss of one-third to one-half
of the crop.
Expenditure of 2 to 3 cents an acre
for formaldehyde: and about three
minutes of time in using it would
have saved all of the lost bushels.
Treating oats for smut with the
latest method of applying formalde-
hyde is easy and inexpensive. One
pint of 40 per cent formaldehyde so-
lution is the right amount to use on
50 bushels of oats to get complete
control and yet cause no injury. If
more of the solution is used seed in-
jury may result.
Spray Solution on Oats
Dilute the formaldehyde with an
equal quantity of water and pour in-
to a hand sprayer of one-quart capa-
city. Dump the oats on a clean barn
floor canvas. While the oats are be-
ing shoveled from one pile to anoth-
er, spray each shovelful with the so-
lution. One stroke of the sprayer
gives about the right amount.
After all the oats are treated this
way, pile in a heap and cover with
grain sacks or blankets which have
been sprayed inside and outside with
the solution. Allow the oats to re-
main covered for at least five hours,
after which they may be bagged and
drilled. Treatment may be made at
any time before sowing but it is ad-
visable to plant soon after treating.
Since the formaldehyde vapor acts as
an irnitant breathing it should be
avoided by holding the sprayer close
to the oats and by working from one
side of the pile only. :
Use of this method will permit
farmers to grow just as many oats on
nine acres as would be grown on 10
acres sowed with untreated seed.
Spending 18 to 27 cents will save
working and planting the extra acre,
which may be considered as growing
nothing when the crop is full of
smut. In addition, the oats are more
convenient to handle and the straw is
clean when the seed has been treated.
C. C. McDowell, County Agent
Weekly Health Talk
“It was recently stated that the
examinations of school children in
leading cities of the United States
led to the discovery that many of the
pupils were suffering from foot ail-
ments. In most cases these condi-
tions were directly attributed to ill
fitting shoes that cramped the toes
and squeezed the feet into unnatural
positions. Such a situation repre-
sents downright carelessness on the
part of parents,” said Dr. Theodore
B. Appel, Secretary of Health, today.
“One can not blame children for
wearing improper shoes. They do
not know any bétter. On the other
hand, shoe dealers could prevent
‘imuch of it, and parents could elimi-
nate all of dt.
“It follows that more intelligent
attention must be given by the older
folks to the selection of juvenile foot-
gear. It is merely fundamentally
humanitarian to do so.
“Permanently injured feet are de-
cided handicaps. They can cause
much suffering. But there is even
more to the proposition than that.
Spinal troubles, neuritis, headache,
backache and rheumatism have
countless times been directly traced
to improper footwear. 3
“Older people, except that more or
less fixed ratio of young ladies who
insist, on size four when they require
a five, are much moye sensible re-
garding shoes than formerly was the
case. Style plus comfort, rather than
style alone, appears to be today’s
main idea regarding all apparel, in-
cluding shoes.
“It seems only to be necessary
therefore to follow this excellent rule
a bit further by exercising the same
intelligent care when purchasing foot-
gear for the youngsters as is dis-
played when parents are buying for
themselves.
“This world demands all the vital-
ity and assets a human being can
command. It is mot fair to handicap
children physically or otherwise. In
this connection the shoe question as-
sumes a major importance. Give the
children’s feet a square deal. It de-
cidedly pays to do so.”

JENNER GRANGE AND
FIREMEN HOLD MEET
Meeting in Community Hall at Jen-
ners is Extremely Enthusiastic De-
spite the Fact that the Attendance
was not as Large as Had Been An-
ticipated; Many Angles of Rural
Fire Fighting and Protection Dis-
cussed—Important Meet of Pomona
April 6. ;
A very enthusiastic joint meeting
of members of the Jenner Grange
and of the Somerset County Fire-
men’s Association was held in the
Community Hall at Jenners on Fri-
day evening of last week, March 22,
and despite the fact that the at!
tendance was not as large as it had
been hoped it would be, much work
in connection with providing the de-
sired rural protection against fire
was carried out' in excellent form.
' The meeting was called to order
by Calvin Shanlis, who in addition
to taking an active part in the meet-
ing, introduced the speakers” The
first speaker of the evening was A.
B. Hoffman of Somerset, president
of the Pomona Rural Fire Fighting
Association. Mr.’ Hoffman after
making brief remarks of a timely
nature asked the chairman to
call upon Richard Hill, president of
the Somerset County Firemen's
Association, stating that he (Mr.
Hoffman) believed that Mr. Hill
was better able to speak along fire
fighting lines due to his wide exper-
jence in the work, linked with the
fact that he was president of the
county fire fighting Association.
Chairman Shaulis complied with
the request and called upon Mr.
Hill, the latter responding with an
excellent talk in which he outlined
the fire fighting work from many
different angles, emphasizing ' the
fact that one of the best ways to eli-
minate heavy fire losses was by pre-
venting fires. Mr. Hill also spoke
at considerable length on his exper-
ience as a fire fighter, reciting a
number of cases where the firemen
performed excellent service. The
speaker also urged all farmers to
get back of the movement now un-
der way to bring better protection
against fire to the residents living
in the rural sections of the county.
Mr. Hill’s talk was very timely and
was much appreciated by all those
present.
The next speaker was Herman
Balis of Somerset, chairman of the
Rural Fire Fighting committee of
the Somerset County Firemen’s As-
sociation. Mr. Balis, in his custo-
mary jovial manner very forcibly
brought to the attention of those
present the need of providing better
protection in the rural districts
against fire. He spoke at consider-
able length on the financing end of
the work and during his address of-
fered a number of very valuable
suggestions along the line of raising
the money needed to push this work
to a successful culmination. Mr.
Balis urged that the ministers of the
county be interested in this work, as
well as all other men and women
engaged in public welfare work.
His expressed his belief as favoring
a membership fee rather than by
raising money by the levy of a tax.
Mr. Balis has been working hard on
the rural end of the fire protection
for the past year or more, during
which time he has gained much in-
formation of a valuable nature, and
his talk ‘at Friday evening’s m=<ting
proved to be both interesting and
quite valuable to those who were
present to hear it.
Teddy Mills of Central City gave
an excellent talk. Mr. Mills is per-
haps one of the oldest firemen in the
county in the point of service and
his experience in fighting fires has
been extremely wide with the result
that he is always prepared to give
out plenty of good advice when it
comes to the matter of combatting
fire. Mr. Mills spoke on the hard-
ships which the firemen were often
forced to undergo in their work of
fighting fires and he also mentioned
the need of hearty co-operation
among the firemen and farmers of
the county, urging upon all present
to get back of this work of provid-
ing the rural residents of the county
with better protection. Mr. Mills’
talk was very timely and much ap-
preciated by those present.
L. L. Sprowls, president of the
Boswell Volunteer Fire Department,
was the next speaker of the evening.
Mr. Sprowls spoke of farm life and
of the inconveniences twenty to thir-
ty years ago as compared with the
present-day improved state. He
spoke of development along fire
fighting lines and of various other
phases of the work having to do
with the combined efforts of the
firemen and members of the Grange
in this county in establishing better
protection against fires with their
attending losses. Mr. Sprowls, as
in the case of the preceding speak-
ers urged all to get back of the
movement and force it to a success-
ful culmination.

retary of the Pomona Rural Fire
Fighting Association, was the next
speaker of the evening: Mr. Stoner
spoke briefly of the work and urged
all to fall in line with their member-
ship dues. Following his remarks,
Mr. Stoner stated that he was in a
position at that time to take the
names and issue receipts to all those
who were present and cared to join
the organization. From the manner
in which he was approached by
many of the gentlemen present fol-
lowing the meeting it was evident
that quite a number of new members
were secured.
John S. Rhoads of Jenner town-
ship then gave a fine talk in which
he stated that he favored the mem-
bership plan rather than in securing
the necessary financial aid .through
taxation. Mr. Rhoads was very
enthusiastic in advocating support
by everyone in behalf of this avorthy
cause. His talk was much
ciated by all those present.
Much credit is due the progress
which has been made thus far, in
appre-
providing the people living in the
rural sections of the county with
better protection, to the Somerset
County Firemen’s Association, while
a lot of the credit for this progress
is also due the members of the
Grange and men like Mr. Hoffman,
Mr. Stoner and countless others
who are giving freely of their time
and ability in promoting this wor-
thy cause.
The annual meeting of the Pomo-
na Rural Fire Fighting Association
will be held at the courthouse in
Somerset at 8:00 P. M. on ‘Saturday,
April 6. All members are urged to
be present at this meeting.
Health Promotion
by Advertising
Modern advertising has improved
the health of Americans within the
last two decades, as well as having
lightened the toil of the housewife
and the husband, according to the
findings of Earnest E. Calkins, who
has been making a comprehensive
study of the effects of national ad-
vertising for the Woman’s Home
Companion.
The contribution of advertising to
national health is found by Mr. Cal-
kins in one instance, in the elimina-
tion of guess-work in the improve-
ment of home cooking materials and
methods, for example bread, which
can now be produced with uniform
excellence. “The greater baking com-
panies, nationally advertised,” he de-
clares, “can make better bread than
Mother used to make; not better than
some exceptional housewives, but bet-
ter than the average.
In the old
days there was at least as much poor
bread made as good.”

Oatmeal, crackers, prunes, raisins

has been widely diversified by the

customer an unvarying standard of

another example of how the public

first aid materials replace the old rag
bandage and home made liniment. He
cites the manner in which adhesive
tape is now packed as being a vast
improvement over the old method un-
der which it was allowed to lie about,
gathering all sorts of dirt and germs.
People today take better care of their
teeth, hands and their entire bodies
because national advertising has laid
before them with convenient advan-
tages of such care.and provided them
with convenient methods of observ-
ing the primary rules of health.

Such improvements, -says the writ-
er, cost the manufacturer a little
more but he does not add it to the
cost of his article. The reward comes
in the public confidence that he es-
tablished and the resulting increase
in his business.

States armies have gained twenty-

where along the line.

Native Tahitian Man and Woman.
(Prepared by the National Geographic
Society, Washington, D. C.)
VEN a short visit to Papeete,
E capital of the island of Tahiti,
while the steamer pauses, is in-
teresting; but to really under-
stand something of life in this gem of
the South Seas one must journey in-
land. The usual method of travel is
by carriage but more enjoyable to
many is a leisurely walk with a guide,
pausing at native villages.
Any guide one chooses is likely
to carry among his meager belong-
ings some sort of musical instrument,
for all Tahitians love music. They de-
light in singing, and from ancient days
have drawn sounds from crude bam-
boo and wooden instruments. The fa-
vorite instruments now are the ac-
cordion, harmonica, and jews-harp.
One sees the first in all parts of the
island. In Papeete groups of young
persons of both sexes will be seen
squatting on lawn or street, wreathed
with flowers and accompanying an ac-
cordion with voice or limb.
The way out of Papeete lies be-
tween coconut groves and banana
fields; beside coral-littered beach: in
the shade of the flowering purau (wild
hibiscus), and past the lowly sensitive
plant. ‘ }
In alarm at one’s tread, hundreds of
land crabs run in ungainly fashion to
their holes, some raising militant
claws, others bending all their ener-
gies toward flight. Under foot tiny
ants forage; in the shallows of the
sea the blue otuu fishes for its break-
fast; farther out brown fishermen
poise pronged spears from reef or
boat; to the right and to the left the
leisurely inmates of thatched homes
prepare their breakfasts or saunter
about with an air of luxurious ease.
Both young and old among them sa-
lute passers-by with the national
“Jorana!” and the curious stare with
questioning eyes.
Sights Along the Way.
As one walks there is much to see.
One moment it is the curling surf
thundering on the reef, or an inspiring
view of the toothed island of Moorea;
again it is flower and tree—the pan-
danus, the medicinal miro, or the dye:
producing eufa. On every hand the
breadfruit shares yard and roadside
with the prolific mango; over wave-
washed shore and high on breezy hill
lean the nut-borne palm; and afar, on
mountain slope, branch the glossy fei
(a type of plantain).
After sundown one may experience
one of the greatest pleasures of the
tropics—travel by moonlight. When
the elements of the air are in a placid
mood, an evening stroll is a delight.
Waving palms and geBtly sighing
wind, roar of surf on distant reef, and
ceaseless wash of tide, combined with
pictures of contentment and hospitable
greetings of young and old from road-
side and dooryard, produce sensations
foreign to the most radiant day.
Travelers must put up for the night
in native homes. If the house of a
reasonably’ well-to-do family is chosen
it, will probably be a one-story, un-
painted wooden structure. The floor
and walls will be bare, and the roof
will be ef galvanized iron sheeting,
the common covering for wooden
buildings in the South Pacific.
All Tahitian villages have only one
street, and along the seashore that is
part of the island’s main highway.
On each side of this is an irregular
row of houses, the best one belonging
to the district chief.
Chinese Are Storekeepers.
In tramps in Tahiti it is difficult to
know when one has crossed what
might properly be called the line be-
tween village and plantation. But
practically every village center is
marked by a group of two or three
smoky-looking Chinese stores. Wher-
ever they stand, there is the village
square, where the gossipers gather;
and, in the harvesting season, the per-
fume of vanilla beans drying on can-
vas spread before the open doors,
makes the place fragrant.
There the native exchanges his co-
conuts and scented pods for bread and
brown sugar and American canned sal-
mon or New Zealand canned butter
and beef, and there the traveler is
refreshed by coffee or tea, figure-eight
doughnuts, and twisted roll.
In Polynesia hospitality exhibits it-
self in many novel ways. In Tahiti,
for example, the host sometimes
spreads a new tablecloth at every
meal. When a housewife wants to
grace the family board, she goes into
the yard and gathers for that purpose
a banana branch or a few hibiscus
leaves.
For breakfast one may have orange
tea and coconut milk. The first is
brewed from the leaves of the wild
orange tree, and makes a pleasant
drink. Like coffee, it is prepared in
a palm-thatched kitchen without walls
and is served in a bowl
Most Tahitians are very fond of cof-
fee and always have it for breakfast.
' With it they eat unbuttered bread.
The islanders were taught to eat
bread by the Chinese, and so wherever
it is possible for a baker’s cart to go,
coffee and rolls form the morning's
refreshment. At other meals fei,
yams, and taro replace the loaf.
When the long-absent prodigal or
favorite son reaches his home again,
the fatted pig is slain for him as a
mark of esteem. To this island the
porker is what potatoes are to Ireland
and the oaten cake to Scotland. With-
jout it Tahiti would be disconsolate
and would quickly become a discon-
tented land which only spare-ribs and
bacon could restore to bliss. Almost
everywhere along its coasts can» be
heard the squeal of this indispensable
animal, as, tethered by a leg to a
banana plant or coconut tree, it fret-
fully seeks to break its fetters. In
the wild, unpeopled hills it enjoyed a
10ving freedom, but even there was
pursued by vengeful foes, armed with
formidable spears, who cut it into
small pieces and carried these to their
homes in bamboo rods.
Hogs are usually served with yam,
fei. coconut sauce, and milk. The na-
tives eat with their fingers, but white
guests are supplied with a knife and
fork.
Prefer Fingers to Forks.
Tahitians still have an aversion for
artificial aids in eating, for they be-
lieve that nothing surpasses their own
digits as food conveyors. When Wal-
lis visited the island a native who had
been facetiously named Jonathan
thought otherwise after he had put on
European clothes, and he resolved to
elevate ‘himself in society by feeding
with a fork. He made a heroic at-
tempt, but every time he strove to es-
tablish a connection between the in-
strument and his mouth his hand en-
countered his lips, leaving the food
poised at his ear.
From the villages the natives go in-
to the mountains on hunts for fei.
The fel is a species of plantain, and
it is the island’s most valuable article
of food. It grows in the mountains
and is available at all times of the
year. - It closely resembles the banana,
but its leaves are darker. The fruit
is from an inch and a half to two
inches in diameter and is borne up-
rightly on the stalk in bunches that
frequently have from 100 to 150 plan-
tains. When ripe, these are a light
red or yellow. There are many va-
rieties.
The fruit is boiled or baked for eat-
ing, and after it is cooked it is cus-
tomary to beat it with a stick to loos-
en its skin and improve its quality.
The fei grows far up mountain
slopes, where it can be seen miles
away. To get this staple, the woods-
man must worm his way up almost im-
passable steeps, and then down nar-
row, slippery paths he must descend,
weighted with swaying burdens of
frem 100 to 150 pounds.
