Heme Grounds Improvement
During the past week Mr. Emil Kent,
Extension Landscape Gardener, was in
the County assisting in selection, proper
placing and planting of shrubs for the
purpose of beautifying the home
grounds. Much comment has been made
on homes where some thought has been
given to the seeding of flowers and the
planting of shrubs. This condition is a
good advertisement for the community.
“Beautiful homes and good gardens”
should be a slogan for Somerset County.
Executive Committee Meeting
At the last executive committee meet-
it was decided to conduct a Farmers
Auto Tour to State College for Farmers’
Day. Farmers’ Day is June 20th and
21st. We will leave Somerset the morn-
ing of June 20th and return the evening
of June 21st or the morning of the 22nd.

Mice-Girdled Trees
Saved By Grafting
Orchiards visited by State College ex-
tension fruit .workers show much more
injury from mouse girdling than many
growers imagine.
This injury caused by the mice ravages
may result in a heavier loss of trees
than experienced for several years un-
less immediate action is taken to remedy
the trouble. Proper protection can be
secured by bridge-grafting.
Where trees are founa girdled, the
first step is to remove the soil from
around the trunk so that the uninjured
bark below. the girdle will be exposed.
Often growers wonder how many scions
to use. The larger the number of scions
inserted and bridged over the girdle the
greater the food-carrving power and
naturally the less the injury.
After the bridging has been completed
the ground should be heaped up about
the tree to a height of two inches above
the girdle. The time spent in repairing
the girdled trees may mean the differ-
ence between a heavy crop of fruit next
year and complete loss of the grees.
Circular 103, entitled “Budding and
Grafting,” whiclis-!bublished by the
Pennsylvania State College, contains
helpful information on this subject. It
can be obtained at the Agricultural Ex-
tension office in Somerset.
Yellow Leaf Diseases
Dangerous to Cherry
Yellow leaf or shot hole is the most
destructive fungus of cherry trees in
Pennsylvania. It often defoliates most
of the unsprayed orchards.
Symptoms of the disease are small, de-
finite brown spots on the leaves. These
eventually become so numerous and
dense as to turn the entire leaf a yellow
color, whence the name, yellow leaf.
The leaves fall to the ground prema-
turely, and where preventative measures
are not practiced defoliation occurs by
picking time.
Obviously, defoliation results in the
The pro-
duction of new leaves causes a severe
drain on the food supply of the tree.
In cases of unusually early defoliation
new fruit buds are not able to form.
Furthermore, the trees are considerably
weakened and easily subject to killing
by adverse winter weather.

Garrett Boxing Boats
Draw Fine Crowd
The boxing bouts held at the Gar-
rett Athletic Club on Tuesday evening
of last week was a huge success. The
main bout of the evening staged be-
tween Clyde Byrd of Somerset and
“The Battling Barber” Gene Walters
was a fine treat and ended in Walters
gaining the judges decision after
Walters had outboxed and outpointed
Byrd in every round, although Byrd
put up a very courageous fight.
Curley Courtney of Meyersdale won
on a technical K.O. in the 4th round
of his fight. It was very even up to
that time.
The curtain raiser was between
Sammy Walters and Johnny Fullerton
and they put up a good exhibition.
The last bout of the evening was be-
tween the Cossel Brothers and it like-
wise was a thriller.

If the demand for coke continues,
the Clarissa and Nellie plants of the
same company at Vanderbilt, near
Connellsville will also be operated, it
was announced by G. Corrado, presi-
dent.
MAKING REAUDIT OF
TOWNSHIP ACCOUNTS
A reaudit of the accounts of the
Road Supervisors of Somerset town-
ship for the year 1928, was started by
auditors Webster Barron, Harry
Walker and Benjamin Letcher. Tax-
payers of the township are represent-
ed at the new audit by William J. R.
Hay and Paul Baker, both of the
township. The township supervisors,
Nelson Mosholder, William Davis and
Samuel - Manges, are also present at
the audit. The audit is being held in
the Assembly Room of the Court
House.
ed. Two chicks per square foot are
enough where close confinement is prac-
ticea. It is advisable to remove the
cockerels as soon as possible so the pul-
lets will have more room. Encourage
the young stock to roost after three
weeks of age. If a complete ration is
fed, there need be no concern about
crooked keel bones.
Sweet Clover Best
Temporary Pasture
Sweet clover is the “king of the le-
gumes” for temporary pasture says
Nickolas Schmitz, State College Exten-
sion Agronomist.
One acre of this legume will support
from one to two cows from early spring
until September. It furnishes a highly
nutritious food, being well supplied with
lime, phosphorus, and protein, all very
essential to the dairy cow and the grow-
ing calf.
When sweet clover is used for pas-
ture, the cows should be turned in as
soon as the plants have reached the
height of 3 to 4 inches. They relish the
sweet clover better then than later when
the plants are older and bitter in taste.
Best results are obtained if enough
cows are pastured to keep .the legume
grazed down to 8 or 10 inches.
Sweet clover is sown at the rate of 15
to 20 pounds per acre. Sow it with
some other clover so that there will be
some growth even when the sweet clover
fails because of poor soil preparation or
some other unfavorable condition.
There must be a good supply of lime
to insure success, because sweet clover
will not grow on sour soil. Take a sam-
ple of soil from the field to be seeded so
that it can be tested for lime require-
ment. Where no more than a ton of
lime per acre is needed it will be safe to
seed sweet clover after the lime has been
supplied. Where sweet clover has not
been grown previously on the soil, inocu-
lation with the proper bacteria is nec-
essary.
Inspect Strawberries
Under Mulch At Once
Watch the condition of strawberries
under mulch.
Many Somerset county growers of
strawberries who desire the highest yield
always take the added precaution after
the ground is frozen in the fall to pro-
tect the sensitive plants with a mulch of
straw or strawy manure. This aids in
extending the period of fruit bud infor-
mation and increases the possibilities of
a heavier crop.
Removal of this mulch can be done
too early. At this time strawberry
growers should inspect their patches,
lift the mulch, and see if the foliage is
discolored. If the leaves are becoming
yellow, this indicates that the mulch is
too thick and is beginning to smother
the plants. By, removing part and
stirring the rest of the mulch, better
aeration will result and the plants will
be able te resume a natural condition.

NEWCARITIS
Is the Cause of the Return
of the Annual Spring
URGE
“Ngwcaritis” has succeeded spring
fever as an annual malady, according
to H. I. Phillips, humorist. Analy-
zing its symptoms and effects in The
American Magazine, he confesses that
he is now suffering from newcaritis
in its most virulent form.
“And I'm growing weaker every
hour,” he adds. “Few men are im-
mune. The fellow without a car feels
that gnawing urge to get one; the
man who has a car longs to trade it
in for something bigger and better;
the plutocrat with a covey of benzine
rickshaws feels the imvulse to add to
his collection a few models with more
filigree work on the panels.
“As early as the January automo-
bile show I first feel the craving to
possess a car that has never been
rained on. But as much as the new
models tempt me I push the idea
away with a resolute, ‘Nothing doing!
The old car is like new. The engine
is a marvel, there isn’t a scratch on
the body and the tires are good for
another ten thousand miles’
“About the first of February after
gazing into the salesroom windows a
few hundred times, I say to myself,
‘I don’t see how they can turn out
such beautiful cars for the money.’
By Washington’s birthday I have
probably received thirty or forty cir-
culars giving pictures of 1929 models
and bearing an urgent invitation to
‘allow Mr. Ketchum to give you a
demonstration.’
“I begin to reflect how wonderfully
the makers improve their models
every year and to realize that my car
needs new fenders and its motor thor-
oughly overhauled. Then, around the
middle of March I weaken and allow
Mr. Ketchum to call and give me a
demenstration. When this is over I
am pretty well sunk. Not much more
is needed to pull me under and by
April the last urge comes when sev-
eral of my neighbors pass the house
in glistening new sedans and look
condescendingly on my last year’s car
standing at the curb. That settles it.
I go to the telephone and call Mr.
Ketchum.
“It is a curious thing how a brand-
new car will thrill a man. Even if
he has his last car only one summer,
there will be a certain zest in trying
out a smarter model. There seems
to be no sentiment in the ownership
of an 6ld boat. Back in the buggy
days, men became so fond of horses
that they hated to see them sold and
I have known people to wax sentin-
ental over the sale of a bicycle that
had been in the family for a long
time. But I have yet to observe a
fellow shed any tears when he has to
turn in a last year’s automobile for a
this year’s model.
“The minute a man lets his car go
without washing after a muddy spell,
fails to get peeved when he finds a
hub cap rusty and shows no emotion
at the discovery that someone has
struck a match on the door, he is
practically in the market for a new
car.
“Well, the automobile makers of
this country plan to turn out 7,000,-
000 cars this year and they won’t ex-
pect to sell them to people who have
never had an automobile before.
There must be at least 3,500,000
others like*me. The man who drives
the old teakettle designed by Rube
Goldberg and synchronized by the
American Can Company and boasts,
‘I’ve had it seven years now and I
just can’t wear it out,’ has almost dis-
appeared from American life.
“Newecaritis is responsible.”

ADAMS SCHOOLHOUSE
DAMAGED BY BLAZE
The Adams two-room school building
at Wellscreek in Somerset Township, six
miles west of Somerset, was badly dam-
aged by fire of unknown origin. It is
believed that the blaze started from a
stove, causing considerable damage to
one of the school rooms. The Somerset
Fire Company responded to a call and
saved the school house from total de-
struction. The loss has not yet been
determined.
