GENESEO'S NOVEL
HOE TRIE PLAN
Bringing People to Town Was
the Object Sought.
HOW THE METHOD WORKED,
Local Interest In Business Stlmulnted
by Monthly Public Auctions Special
Attractions Offered to Farming Folk.
Cost to Each Merchant Small.
Tho llfo of Gcueseo la much like
that of other small mwtern Now York
towns, nnd It was deeided to soo if
something could bo dotio to dorolop
more locnl lutoroM In trade. A nuiu
bor of tho merchants of Oonosoo de
cided to combine Mid form n business
men's association to dTorU tho
town and help tho community, sas
tho New ICaRland Iiomatead.
A large number of tho men decided
that tho thing to do was to arrauss
Bomo method for bringing the people
to town. It was decided, thorofore, to
try holding a freo auction each month.
Any farmer could send In anything ha
lrod to sell and the buftlaess men
wxrald advertlso It, catalogue it, pay
for an nuctloneer to sell it and turn
over the proccods without any cxnuoiie
to tho farmer.
At this time tke dlfforou morckants
arranged special pelooa on ertaia
Hni of rood ti lis: Sorca ookas of
op for X mUb r xtaoUxm pounds
of misae er $1. 0 entorprUlnr
weisr ob tfaa tkrst publi auctioa day
old COO solid silver thliaWoa at 17
cnta OAch.
Th publio auctions tsapt tha farm
era bnsr norsoa, cows, tools and farm
products attracted sorscnl hundred
msa. I'eopJo who would not ootno to
town for auy reason came on market
day, and those who did not ootno to
purchase enmo to discuss things and
soo what was going on.
The first market day was a dooklod
success. Tho ost to tha merchants
wag mado p by a lery of $1 each oo
the meaabew of tho association. It has
since been decided that they will con
tribute $1 each month and try tha sys
torn for a year. The seooad auction
was held under unfavorable cUmatle
conditions, but was oxtretnaly profit
able to the Bvjrchants, and soma $3,000
worth of farm stock was sold, naarly
double that sold at the flrst auction.
At the third auction it was decided
to add a now feature. Throa weeks
before tho ereat notice was sent to all
the ceunty papers that a seed distri
bution bureau would be established by
the association. A committee outlined
tho following plan: All farmers Laving
farm seeds for sale anywhore In tho
Ticlnlty wero inTitod to send samples
with the amounts thoy wiibod to soli
and tho price. In tho case of seed
corn they could bring ton ears or half
a peck shelled, half a pock of oats or
boans and ten potatoes; also samples
of grass, clovers and alfalfa seeds.
First, second and third prize cards
were awarded in each claso, the Judg
ing being dono by Dr. Gilbert of the
Stato College of Agriculture at Ithaca.
The fact of placing samples In compe
tition added interest.
Slnco tho auction was not to bo until
after dinner the morning was deToted
to an institute. Dr. Gilbert giving an
nddroHti on the Importance of good
seed. This allowed tlmo to discuss
the samples shown and to giro in do
tail mothods for their Improvement
The exhibit and address wero held in
the vlllago hall. On a bulletin board
wero posted the names of nil people
having produce to sell and of any per
son who wautod to buy, and the com
mltteo sought to bring tho parties to
gether. In order that the farmers might seo
whether their soli conditions were
similar a soil map of Livingston coun
ty was hung in tho room, an advance
copy having Just been received from
the United States department of agri
culture. A Flower as Rent.
A dispatch from Flint, Mich., reports
that the local school board has socurod
n ninety-nine year lease of a site for
a new school building at the rate of
one clover blossom a year. The 'man i
who offered to rent tho land on these
terms is something of a poet, and the
board in accepting the offer has en
tered into hl spirit and determined, It
is said, to make every year a ceremo
nious payment of the root. It is a pity
that when sites aro given, as they so
often are, the generous donors do not
exact some such rental as this, that
will require a touch at least of beau
ty in the school yard. Tho requirement
of a bunch of roses or of some other
chosen flower which must be grown on
the premises under the children's care
would inject a new, a much needed
and delightful element Into school life.
Some Men's Advertising.
Once thero was a man who adver
tised. He inserted In the local paper
n one Inch card, which read: "James
Jones, Grocer. I solicit the trado of
the People. 4ll Dead St." This man
paid 00 cents for this ad. for ono
month. No ono told him that they
traded with him because he adver
tised, and ho told tho editor his paper
was no good as a trade puller and to
pay money for advertising was a
waste. One yar later the sheriff
closed him out, and the man has nev
er advertised since. These who would
advertise take warning.
Insects on Hoots of 1'lniits.
I A Philadelphia manufacturer, hnv
, lug n suburban home, hns hnd
trouble with Insects nttniklng tho
I roots of celery, limn beans and oth
er vegetables. His garden Is sltuat-
od near woods, nnd It was thought
, tnnt this might bo tho cnuso ot tho
pi i!pouduraiu'0 of those insect pests,
liucimt-iib 6f the insects wero soilt
to Pror. -II. A. Surface, stnto zoolo
gist, llnrrlauurg, who after an ex
amination of thorn, wrote:
"Wo duly received the lima benns
which you sent to us, nnd find the
Insects on tho roots to bo nphlds
or plant lice. Tho best thing to do
is to use tobacco dust nbiindnntly
In tho boll close around the plants.
Stir it in with u cultivator, or bet
tor, with a hoe. Any of your plants
that are Infested with aphlcls or
root lice should bo treated In this
manner. Tho root louse Is quite a
pest and attacks many kinds of
plants. Its presence is often indi
cated by tho ants which you see go
lug Into the soil through holes In
the surface of the ground beside the
plant. Thero Is a natural relation
ship between the ants and the lice.
The formor take caro of tho eggs of
the latter, whllo tho nphlds furnish
the sweet liquid, commonly called
honoy-dew, upon which tho anta
feed. Tho ants themselves do not
lnjuro tho roots, but they take caro
of theso pasts, which aro very In
jurious, as you have found.
"It Is advisable to pull and burn
all kinds of plants of which the
roots are Infested, doing this at the
end of the season, or as soon as it
Is found that thero will bo no furth
er need of thorn for tho production
of this Sanson's crop. Then culti
vate tha soli by frequent harrowing.
If this bo not dono, it is especially
Important to rotato tho crops, or
changs to crops that will not bo In
festsd by this post. Whore ono has
only a small area of land, and cannot
readily rotate crops, It Is especially
desirable for him to root out those
that aro dlseasod or Infested, and
cultivate the soil this fall. This
will greatly lesson tho need of rota
tion."
No Iteinedy For Pear Blight.
In reply to a fruit grower of
Lackawanna county, who sent
sample leaves and branches taken
from his pear trees, to Prof. Sur
face for advlco, the latter gavo tho
following Information:
"Tho pear leaves which you sent
us show infection known as pear
blight. Unfortunately there is no
known remedy for this. The only
thing- to do Is to prevent its spread
by cutting out and burning tho
blighted parts. Be sure to cut be
low tho blighted portions. Sterilize
your knife by dipping it Into tur
pentine, or formalin solution, and
wipe it on a cloth saturated with
such material. Soft soap, or kero
sene oil, will serve this purpose.
Wash tho stubs with common house
paint. Do not let them remain ex
posed after cutting away the dis
eased parts. Gather and burn these
parts at once.
"This pear blight is a bacterial
disease due to the bacterium within
tho plant, and, therefore, It cannot
be reached by any external appli
cations. It attacks apple, pear and
quince, and is known as Black
Blight, Pear Blight. Twig Blight,
Leaf Blight, Trunk Blight, Body
Blight, etc. It makes large dead
areas on tho branches and trunks
of trees, sometimes reaching even
the roots. One characteristic feat
ure Is that thero Is a sharply cut
line between tho dead and living
area of the bark. Sometimes, when
there is an infected area in the bark,
it may outgrow this by forming new
area( and at other times it becomes
a fatal and permanent injury. It is
recommended to cut out dead
places in the bark of the trunk and
branches, and sterilize them by
painting and washing with some an
tiseptic. Tho lime-sulphur solution
would bo excellent for this. Then
the next best step would bo to paint
them with some melted grafting
wax.
"It has been reported to me sever
al times that cures have been effect
ed by the use of salt around tho
roots. I have no Infected trees on
my premises, nnd have had no oc
casion to try this, but I have been
told v responsible) persons that they
actually killed pear blight by re
moving the earth around tho roots,
and placing tho salt on the roots
around tho trees and replacing the
earth and then cultivating.
IloilliiK Liine-Sulpliur Solution for
Spraying.
From Waynesboro, Pa., in a region
now known for its successfully re
stored industries, a letter from one
of tho prominent fruit growers reach
ed State Zoologist H. A. Surface, of
Harrlsburg, stating that the writer
had failed to find in the Bulletins a
detailed discussion as to whether the
lime-sulphur solution, which is uni
versally being used In that region to
suppress scale and other pests, Is bet
ter boiled in an open vessel or in a
closed vessel.
Dr. Surface discussed this question
in his reply as follows:
"The reason you did not Ond a dis
cussion in our Bulletin as to wheth
er tho lime-sulphur solution should
be boiled in an open or clojed vessel,
is the fact that it does not mnke one
bit of difference. You ennnot boll
It in a vessel tightly enough closed
to keep in the steam. You doubtless
saw us boil it in an open kettle.
Wo obtained good result3 by so do
ing. If you would boll it in a cover
ed vessel you would simply prevent
tho rapid evaporation of water, and
perhaps hold the heat longor, but
thero aro no special points of value In
this.
A Fuko Schenio Exposed.
Thero is a fake scheme being work
ed in various parts of Pennsylvania,
which Professor H. A. Surface, stnto
zoologist, has exposed and is warning
persons against. Ho has received
many lotters on this subject, tho fol
lowing of which Is typical, coming
from a correspondent in Collegevlllo:
"A man came into this section.
stating 1)0 was authorized by tho state
to treat trees affected by San Toso
scale, by inserting a poison filled
capsulo under tho bark of tho tree.
This poison was to be carried by the
sap to all pnrts of tho tree, nnd so
kill tho scale
"Is this treatment effective In kill
ing tho scale without injuring tho
trees? I shall bo vory grateful for
Information on this subject."
In reply to this Prof, Surfaco said:
"His statements nro fnlso nnd his
method Is wrong. Soveral times un
scrupulous persons have tried to gain
tho confidence nnd obtain money of
the peoplo of this state, by tho state
ment that they nro employed by this
olllco or department. All such Im
postors should bo arrested for false
pretense, nnd such other charges as
can bo brought against them, nnd
such Imposition can then bo checked,
even If they cannot wholly bo stop
ped. "This ofllco authorizes no persons
to treat or destroy trees, excepting
our regularly appointed Inspectors,
who carry certificates of appoint
ment, stamped with tho seal of tho
Department of Agriculture and prop
erly signed. Also, wo do no work in
treating trees, excepting that which
is done as public demonstration work,
Inviting the public In to see how It Is
done, as a useful public lesson in tho
community. Moro than this, we do
no other treatment of trees than the
pruning and sprnylng, being assured
that the best possible means of con
trolling the San Jose scale and cer
tain other pests Is by tho ubo of the
spray pump.
"No poison can bo put into tho sys
tem of tho tree by injecting it under
the bark In such manner that it will
bo taken up through tho sap. You
will find tho safest, cheapest and
moro effectlvo means of treating the
San Jose scnle to bo thoroughly
spraying with strong boiled lime
sulphur wash, applied at any time
while the trees are dormant. If they
aro much Infested you should 'mako
two applications, ono Just after tho
leaves drop, and another when tho
buds nro swelling In tho spring."
A JOY HIDKH
COMES TO GHIEF
Millionaire Semtcnced to Nino Months
In Jail.
Norrlstown, Pa., Oct. 29. Wealth,
reckless disregard and severity of
punishment vied with each other In
giving Impresslveness to tho law's
vengeance on W. Gordon Dyer, tho
millionaire) joyrider, when ho was
sentenced to nine months at hard
labor In the Montgomery county Jail.
Dyer had been convicted October
15, of aggravated assault and bat
tery, tho charge being preferred by
District Attorney Larzelere. Tho
case was based on a Joy ride which
Dyer took on the evening of Septem
ber 10th, with a Hotel Hartranft
maid, Minerva Snyder, and a male
companion. Witnesses said at the
trial that Dyer drove his machine
up Main street, through tho town
and into tho township of West Nor
rlstown at forty miles an hour. At
the corner of the Whitehall road,
right under an electric light, Dyer's
auto crashed into a horse attached
to a carriage occupied by Walter
Smith and wife, of Phoenlxvillo. The
machine was running so fast that it
tore off the front legs of the horse
and plowed Its way beneath the car
riage, coming out the rear. The
horse had to be killed, and the
Smiths wero so seriously hurt that
they were barely able to attend the
trial.
Tho usual technical reasons were
raised by his counsel why the ver
dict should bo set aside, but these
wero withdrawn, and this morning
the young man surprised even his
most intimate friends by coming in
to court and appearing before Judge
Weand for his bitter dose. The
court evidently knew that he would
come, for neither Dyer nor his coun
sel said a word or offered a plea for
mercy or honesty. As soon as Dyer
reached his position within tho bar
enclosure, Judgo Weand began his
sentenco thus:
"W. Gordon Dyer, tho jury hns
convicted you of aggravated assault
and battery. You seriously Injured
a man and a woman, demolished their
carriage and killed their horse. You
have been arrested several times be
fore on account of your reckless dis
regard of tho automobile laws of the
state, but heretofore you have been
released upon payment of fines and
costs. Good sense should have told
you that sooner or later, If you kept
It up, you would be brought Into the
criminal courts.
"I havo sympathy for your family,
but I must do my duty. I hope this
will be a lesson to you and to others
who recklessly uso their automobiles
In violating tho automobile laws of
tho state. Somo of these drivers act
as if the man with his horso and
wagon has no right to uso tho high
way. Right hero In Norrlstown vio
lations are mado in tho face of tho
police, who seem to connive at these
acts of lawlessness. It is not my in
tention to sentence you for the of
fenses of others, but I hope it will
be a warning to them.
"Tho sentence ot tho court Is that
you, W. Gordon Dyer, pay a flno of
?2G0 to tho commonwealth; pay tho
costs of prosecution, nnd undergo
imprisonment at labor, in tho Mont
gomery county Jail, for a period of
nine months from this date, and
stand committed until sentence is
complied with."
Dyer kept his norvo during tho
trying ordeal, except for a fldgoting
of his fingers. But when ho heard
that ho must servo a Jail sentence as
well as pay a flno, ho was dazed.
Ho stood as if in a trance until
Sheriff Chauncoy J. Buckley stopped
forward and laying his hand upon
tho defendant's shoulder, announced
"Como on."
Tho young man was spared tho
handcuffs and with tho sheriff on ono
sldo and his brother, Fred Dyer, on
the other, walked to tho Jail, where
ho was handed over to tho Jailers.
