THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A department of farm welfare CONDUCTED BY COUNTY AGENT LEAMING. .

“Hog Cholera euroa” Exposed. In accordance with the law, the State Experiment Station has just completed testing 20 so called preventatives and cures for hog cholera. Many of thes are nationally advertised and widely sold. The test carried or by the Station has proved these to be worthless in controlling the disease. The great harm in their sales corner from the fact that many farmers who would in ordinary cases, depend on reliable and approved methods of protection, are given a false sense of security in regard to their herds, while using these “remedies” and their herds suffer serious loss. 'The importance of having herds of hogs exposed or infected with hog cholera promptly given the serum, simultaneous method, of vacmnation by trained veterinAnarians urging high grade serum cannot be too highly emphasized. If your hogs get sick, call your veterinarian at once and do not waste valuable time on so-called “cholera cures.” Carbolic and Emulsion for Radish Maggots. ,How to control the radish maggots or small worms which have been causing considerable damage to the radish crop in past years seems to •be a question which is puzzling amateur gardeners this season. The radish maggot is the larva of a small fly, which lays its eggs in the soil near the plants. Carbolic-Acid Emulsion is a good remedy for those pests, to protect against the fly depositing, its eggs. It is prepared by mixing half a pound of soap in a half gallon of water and one quart of crude carbolic acid or coal tar dip, and then is diluted with 25 parts of water. It should be applied a day or Two after the plants are up and should be repeated if necessary. . Carbolic acid acts as a repellent and is a contact and stomach poison. It should be handled with care. The same insect attacks the cabbage and may be handled in the same way. Green Sprouting of Potatoes. “Green sprouting will keep that sprouting late potato seed of your’s in good condition until planting time. It is an especially important practice this year since the warm winter and spring have started the tubers into growth early” says F, C. Gaylord, of the Purdue Horticulture Department. “To avoid long sprouts and withering of tubers, place them now in a well lighted room, bin or crib, where the temperature is above freezing. If the tubers already have long sprouts upon them, remove these first before putting out to green sprout. Sunlight is unnecessary and success is assure if the potatoes receive plenty of light ea.ch day. In a week or so after being placed in the light the young green sprouts will start to grow. After becoming about a quarter of an inch long, growth will cease. These short stubby sprouts will remain dormant until planting time. Such tubers will retain their viger, mature a crop earlier; be more resistant to disease attack and insure a more uniform stand.” This Is the Year to Spray. /With a reasonable assurance of a good fruit crop, it behooves every fruit tree owner to do what he can to make the quality first class. 'Knotty, wormy and diseased • fruit is neither appetizing or profitable. The time required to spray is small but the benefits are great. The tree owner who will take a little time to spray just as the petals are falling with 1 gallon of iime-sulpher solution and 1 pound of arsenate of lead in forty gallons of water can be assured of reasonably sound fruit. Aapples have been selling at the rate of $5 or more per bushel the past season. There is no reason why every farmer cannot have all the good fruit he wants if he. will take the trouble of spraying his trees. Inoculation Marterial Again Avialable The Department of Agriculture is again prepared to supply inoculating material for all the common legumes, such as alfalfa, navy beans, soy beans, alsike clover, red clover, sweet clover, cowpeas and garden peas, according to information received this week.

WOMEN WILL RECEIVE MANY VICTORY LOAN MEDALS

As In Former Liberty Loans, Women •f District Will Do Great Work in “Carrying On” to Success the Victory Liberty Loan. Ten thousand medals made from captured German cannon are to be distributed to women Victory Loan workers throughout the states of Illinois, lowa, '' Michigan, Indiana, and Wisconsin at the close of the coming campaign. ' The United States treasury department has taken this means of showing its appreciation of the done by thousands of volunteer workers in Liberty Loan drives. The medals are to be made from German cannon captured by American troops at Chateau Thierry. These cannon have been melted, and the metal rolled into sheets, from which the medals are made. This badge will be the first of its kind to be distributed in the United States since the w T ar. It will be about the size of a half dollar, and will contain on one side, a reproduction of the United States treasury building, with the words, “Victory Liberty Loan,” and on the other side the certification of the work done in the Victory Loan campaign with a blank space in which the name of the recipient will be engraved. Women all over the country have shonldered a large share of the work in preceding loan campaigns, and the roll of honor undoubtedly will be Just as large in the coming Victory Loan. In the last drive more than $8,000,000 was subscribed in amounts of SI,OOO or less, much of which the women’s committees were responsible for. Victory Liberty Loan workers will include many prominent women from this as well as from other districts. Mrs. G. Edgar Allen of Detroit has been appointed state chairman for Michigan. Other state chairmen working under the leadership of Miss Grace Dixon, woman’s director for the Seventh Federal Reserve district, are: Mrs. Howard T. Willson, chairman for Illinois; Mrs. James Mariner, Wisconsin; Mrs. F. H. McCulloch, Indiana, and Mrs. W. W. Marsh; lower These are only a few of the many women who will lay aside social and business responsibility for patriotic service daring the Victory Liberty Loan campaign, and who will be among the thousands of recipients of the Victory Liberty Loan medals. HELP “FINISH THE JOB.”

PIANO OR LIBERTY BONDS

Successful Business Woman Bays She Cannot Buy Luxuries Until Victory Liberty Loan Is Triumphantly "Put Over." S "No, I haven’t bought my piano yet. I was Just about to buy one when the first Liberty loan was announced, and I couldn’t make it seem patriotic to spend for purely personal purposes the money that might also help the government. I felt just the same way about the second Liberty loan and the third and fourth, and of course I shan’t think of buying a piano now until the Victory loan has been triumphantly •put over.’ I couldn’t make It seem right” The speaker last year “wrote” over SIOO,OOO worth of life insurance business. This year she expects to attain a $200,000 total, having already $146,000 to her credit since last July, when the current “Insurance club year” started. Oh, yes, she’s a real woman! Her name is Maud M. Freeman and she’s known to thousands of Chicago business men and women. She could have bought a piano several times over and still have 1 done her duty by herself and her country In the way of buying Liberty bonds. But — her full duty, as this patriotic and successful citizen sees It, means helping on the work of the United States government in every possible way. She does her duty In the way of War Savings stamps also, to say nothing of Thrift stamps. The latter she uses as tips when traveling, etc. Last

Christinas she used them, almost exclusively. for presents for children, young people, Intimates. Next Christmas she plans to do the same, while all through the year Thrift stamps will serve her, whenever possible, as “small change” or currency. “No Investment possibly could be so 'safe or so desirable as United States government securities," says the woman, whose generous Income tax was paid cheerfully and without a murmur, because “I’m so glad to have been able to earn so good an Income.” HELP “FINISH THE JOB." The money to be raised by the Victory Liberty loan already has been spent. II; furnished the “punch” that won the war and saved the lives of 100,000 of Americans bravest boys. It is this unshed blood you are paying for when you subscribe to the Victory Liberty loan. The war Is not over, and our duty to support our forces Is not over until they are back home again. The. Victory Liberty loan is to bring them back —to finish the Job. We are still the world’s Big Brother. Stand back of the Victory Liberty loan.

GOOD ROADS

ECONOMY IN GOOD HIGHWAYS Good Demonstration Made by Motortruok Firm In Practical Teat Quite Recently. At its meeting in Chicago the United States Chamber of Commerce adopted a resolution that the government, through the president and the director general of railroads, be petitioned, among other things, to “complete trunk highways for heavy traffic where they can be used In relieving railroad congestion." Note the phrase “heavy traffic” —which calls, not merely for graded highway rights of way, but for hard surface,, cement, asphalt or brick roadbeds capable of sustaining the heaviest trucks and dependable In all sorts of weather. The day is coming—in fact. It is here —when such highways are almost an absolute/'necessity. In some sections of the country, due to railroad Inadequacy to meet the traffic demands, paved cross-country highways are Indispensable to commerce and community prosperity. So, while we are building roads let us build them, not for today, but for the days to come, says Atlanta Constitution. It will be cheaper in the long run, and vastly more satisfactory from the “word ‘go.’” The dollars-and-cents saving, and the time economy, In hard surface roads were clearly demonstrated by a Northern motortruck firm in a practical test completed some time ago when a consignment of heavy merchandise was moved overland from Detroit, Mich., to Toledo, O. “The total pay load carried by a four-ton tractor truck and two trailers was 12 tons," says Automobile Topics in discussing the trip. “The load was distributed as follows: Two tons on the truck, six tons on a fiveton trailer and four tons on a threeton trailer. The trip was made In eight and a half hours over 48 miles of cement and asphalt and 12 miles of dirt road. Almost exactly as much time was required to travel over the dirt road as over the cement, because

Improved Highway in Ohio.

there was do foundation to the road and both the trailer and trucks sank. Three fourths of a gallon of oil and 22 gallons of gasoline were used on.the trip.’* The real pith of the “argument lies in the fact that almost as much time —and, of course, more oil and gas—was consumed in traveling 12 miles of dirt road as was required to make the 48 miles over the hard-surface highway. And again: Consider the difference In value of the respective types of road to the abutting property and to the county and the state containing them.

Unolc Sam WHI Carry a Whopping Load-of Reading Matter About Victory Liberty Loan to Hi* Prospects. Two hundred and fifty tons of first class maill That Is the staggering weight of tba matter which Uncle will distribute throughout the Seventh federal reserve district in giving “scientific billing to the Victory Liberty loan." To Insure maximum efficiency in the distribution of this enormous amoant of propaganda material the distribution bureau of the department of publicity for the Seventh federal reserve district has evolved the following scheme, based on the most reliable figures obtainable. The estimated population of the district is 14,246,506 divided as follows: Popula- Per Cent Divisions tion. of Total. Cook county (Illinois 2,896,431 21.16 Illinois (outside Cook county)... 2,168,344 14.75 Indiana 2,239,492 15,28 lowa 2,219,099 15.00 Michigan ... 2,744,490 20.08 Wisconsin 2,016,647 18.72 Total ........., The above districts are divwfed into counties, the county being the unit of distribution. There are 33fi counties. Each has a chairman. He receives all the propaganda allotted to his district based on the proportionate population, and his own working organization see to It that all “live space” is properly billed. Here are a few facts regarding the whirlwind machinery of distribution: Twenty thousand square feet of space are necessary for addressing and mailing room. The distribution bureau has its own post office. Three hundred men work day and night. One million posters will be mailed in four-pound packages. Eight million Victory Liberty loan buttons will be bandied. • Two million circular letters to bondholders of previous Liberty loan issues will be mailed. - Five million letterheads and envelopes to bond salesmen will be distributed. Tens.' of thousands of automobile owners will receive windshield stickers advertising the loan. It has been officially announced that the drive for the sale of Victory Liberty loan bonds will start oh April 2L If careful plans of the distribution bureau carry through every American on the morning of April 14, at least a week before the drive, will be greeted with the nation-wide injunction, “Finish the Job.” HELP “FINISH THE JOB. 1 *
