thing about his appeal that should make the most conservative statesman consider. Ohio is going to tax its stores and a bill similar to Cue one passed in Indiana and recently held good by the Supreme Court, is now before the legislature. It however provides for a tax on every store of three dollars ’with an added amount graded upward for more than one place. It is estimated tho bill would bring in some four million dollars for the state. Nicholas Schenck, president of ono of the great theater corporations has decided that no advertising will be done in his show houses. He says: ‘‘Screened advertising is a menace to the motion picture industry and should be barred by all first class theaters.’’ The average person does not go to the theater to read a lot of advertisement but to forget business and enjoy the talkies or the acts. Mere evidence that Adams county is the Garden of Eden is shown by the early estimates of County Assessor John Felty. The total valuation of personal property in Adams county will show an increase of over $400,000 over lasr year with more live stock, automobiles, grain and larger stocks of merchandise than a year ago. That's going some in this good year of 1931 when about every county in tlie nation is showing a large decrease. On behalf of the secretary of state tlie attorney-general lias filed I in the supreme court a petition asking for a writ to set aside a restraining order which obstructs printing ami publication of the acts of the last legislature. Until something can be done about the order restraining tlie secretary of state from publishing tlie statutes enacted this winter the new body of laws which came from the last legislature cannot become of effect. The order of restraint from a Marion to one statute, tlie now celebrated “liouse bill 6.” Tlie supreme court can perform a vital public service by diligent action concerning the writ Secretary of State Mayr lias asked for. It is * I an epoprtunity for that high tribunal to show it does not always mope. For whatsoever they may I be worth tlie people of Indiana are entitled to the laws enacted by 1 their general assembly. — Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. o ♦ 4 I ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the ' test questions printed on page two ♦ ♦ 1. —Quito. 2. —The Mississippi. 3. —Latin. 4.

Exposure to the weather reduces the life of garden tools. The damp night air causes them to rust and renders them 'less efficient. As soon as the day's work is finished, all garden implements should be cleaned and hung insieft? in their proper places. Here are a few other suggestions that are wise to;oliow la the care of garden tools: 1. —Keep hoe and wheel-hoe attachments sharp by the use of a flat file. 2. — Keep the bolts of a wheel hoe tight and oil bearings frequently. 3. —ln breaking clods with the spading fork do not strike clods with the back of the prongs as there is danger of breaking the handle. Cut the clods with the outer prong. 4. Ciear. the garden tools daily. Soil is easily removed with a little water. 5. —Always leave the teeth of rake and edge of hoe turned down when laid on the ground, for safety’s sake. 6. —ln general it is best to stick to standard tools rather than trying out new tangled implements unless you are sure that the latter are efficient. The purchaser of hoe, rake, or hand cultivator should make sure that the handles of such tools will balance well in the length of arms, and personal preference of the person. Do not buy cheap tools. Pay a fair price and you’ll be sure the implements will last longer, give more efficient service, and therefore a better investment. Don’t Neglect Your Rhubard Plants Do not fail to take good care of your rhubarb plants all season, as well as in the spring when you are making use of the tender steins for sauces and pies. After the first lew cuttings of rhubarb stems, many gardeners neglect this crop until the following spring. Stir the earth around the plants at leart once a week in order that healthy growth may store plenty of plant food in the roots to produce a large supply of tender stems next year. Keep the seed stalks broken out all summer. If these are allowed to develop the plant food will go to seed production rather than into the roots where it is debited. In the fall if your rhubarb plants are old and losing their vigor, dig iiem up and divide them by cutting through the crown with a sharp spade, then plant them again with tlie crows just above the sur face. Rhubarb needs plenty of plant food for good results, and the best material to use is barnyard ma nure. Heap the manure around the plant in tall and spade it in when spring comes. An occasional application through the summer will cause vigorous growth of the plants, consequently tlie roots will have plenty of food manufactured for ami stored in them to produce stalks early in tlie following spring First Cover Sprays For Codling Moth Tlie first codling moths emerged at Vincennes, May 5, and in the packing shed at Bedford, May 4 which is about eight days latei than 1930. Under normal condi tions we would expect the tirsi worms to be entering apples Maj 15 to 18. and the first cover spraj completed in the above regions bj May 20. However, the cool weath .'er following moth emergence wil

0. further delay egg laying and in all I probability no eggs will be laid before the 15th. and eggs will notj hatcs before the 25th for the Vin-I cennes and Bedford regions. Based on tlie available information, the first cover spray should he completled by May 23rd at Evansville, May at Vincennes, and May 27th at ! Bedford, especially where there is a possibility of infestation from packing sheds. Otherwise the first ! cover sprays should be on by May 27th at Vincennes and by the 30th at Bedford ami Mitchell. . There is every evidence of an abundance of ovter wintering codling moth larvae and also a strong, indication that the emergence of; i. first brood moths will be long drawn; out, probably with two more cr less] 0 conspicuous peaks of maximum, emergence. For these reasons it t may be desirable in some cases to apply three first brood cover sprays, the first as suggested above, the second and third about two to e four weeks later, raapectivnly. In any case the second cover should t be applied two weeks after thefirst. Later developments will determine if a thii-d first brood cover is necessary. , With the possibility of a heavy 1 infestation, it seems advisable to use two pounds of arsenate of lead t to 50 gallons for the first brood sprays. If apple blotch is serious in the orchard, a Bordeaux mixture spray should be applied at two, four, and six weeks intervals after petal fall, according to the Botany Department. Don't Quit Feeding Hens Purt due Poultryman V'arns Now that warmer we'(her has arrived and the grass lias become green, many flocks of Adams county hens are being turned out to shift for themselves, and present low i egg prices have caused some producers to discontinue feeding mash to their laying birds. Wm. Kohlmeyer, poultry spec- ’ ialist at Purdue University, reports t that this neglect may be expensive 1 in tlie end. "Failure to feed now may reduce summer production, j when higher egg prices may be exj pected," he says. Birds cannot lay i very long unless adequate food is . provided, although for a time they maj- draw upon reserve energy storj ed in their bodies. Instead of permitting the liens to forage for most of their living, Mr. Kohlmeyer suggests that rigid culling of the lower producing birds, followed by good feeding of the remaining hens would likely be more profitable procedure. Selling some birds now will furnish ready cash with which to purchase meat scraps and mill feed for the remainder of ; the flock. ’ With the present low level of ’ feed prices, tlie farmer who can 5 use his own corn and wheat can 5 provide a satisfactory ration at low cost. Further information regard- • ing laying rations may be secured 3 from County Agent Archbold or from the Purdue Poultry Departs ment. 1 ‘ o Equipping Yachts With Electric Drive s Boston. —(UP)— Yachts are now r being equipped with the modern f electric drive, used successfully on 1 ocean liners as a substitute for 1 deam power. i What is said to be the smallest 3 sea-gong craft to be thus (lowered j is nearing completion at a local I shipyard for Alenxander W.

EARLY BOTANIST TO BE HONORED Pliiladelpliia, —(UP) Two thousand invitations to famous botanistw and horticulturists of this country and Kumpe have been extended for the MOth anniversary next month of the founding of the first botanic garden in America. The celebration is in honor of John Bartram, who in 1765 was appointed by King George II as the | "Botanist Royal of the American i Colonies." His gardens still stand along the| I bank of the muddy Schuylkill river ; as part of the city park system. Indians Helped The Indians helped Bartram to collect his rare plai ts and trees, many of which are still growing, and many of the men who toiled in I Independence Hall to frame the republic journeyed from Philadelphia to the country to inspect the marvels of his garden. Bartram was born in Darby in 16!):* and in 1731 purchased the farm where his garden now stands. As his interest in horticulture grew he travelled to every section of the country in search of rare plants vines and trees. Some of his book-J lets from the first georgraphica‘l studies ever made of the new world Among the distinguished guests invited are the Duke of Portland, the Duke of Bedford, the Viscount Ullsawter and Colonel F.
