I QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ^ / l^rom Specialists' Correspondence With Farmers I am sending you a few diseased leaves from my palm tree. Will you kindly tell me what the trouble is and what I can do to save it? W. H. McB. S., Winnsboro. The leaves are "affected with a true rust. I know of no treatment which you can give that would be worth the trouble of giving. However, I have seen other trees of this kind as ^severely infected, or even more severely infected than this 'one, without appreciable/ affecting their " vigor. I think you need have no* fear of losingpthe tree. Please advise about chicken eating hogs,?W. D. M., Walhalla. Chicken eating in hogs is often caused by lack of having a balanced ration for hogs. After they once acquire the habit it is almost impossible to break them. It is muoh better to prevent this by feeding a proper ration and by keeping a good mineral mixture before them. * "Please tell me the trouble with the accompanying stalk of tobacco.?W. O. p., Conway. The stalk of tobacco which you sent is infested with the eel-worm, or nematode, which produces knots on the roots, interferes with the growing .of -the plaiit and paves the way for other and often more serious diseases. The only way to combat it on a field ?cale is to rotate crops in such a way as to keep susceptible crops off the v land long enough to starve the para \ site.

He says that a neighbor contends that a scrub steer will make as many pounds of gain on 1,000 pounds of feed as a well .b/ed beef steer." Given a scrub of good health and vigor and a well bred animal of the same good iiealth and vigor it is doubtful if the well bred animal will make any more growth on a given amount of feed than a ,scrub, provided they are of the same size to begin | with and the period of feeding is not carried beyond the stage of maturity. ; The scrub wil stop putting on weight at a smaller size than the well bred animal and the two animals might be, selected, the scrub of which would ' V make little or no gain while the well bred animal would continue to make growth. In such a case, the feed necessary to maintain the scrub at a standing weight would be a mucft larger per cent, of the whole feed) consumed ^han would the^ mainte-.. nance ration of the well bred animal, to the total feed consumed. In other \ words a razor-back might stop growing entirely at a given weight, while a well bred hog at the same weight would contiue to grow heavier. In such a case the feed necessary to^ maintain the weight of the razor-back would be lost there would be no gain at all to show for the feed consumed. To maintain the well bred pig without loss of weight would probably re quire no more feed than to maintain -the scrub at the same weight; but for any additional feed consumed there would be a gain in weight to show for it, in the case of the well J bred pig. v The well berd animal is, therefore, superior to the scrub, but that is not the only point of superiority of the well berd animal. He eats more and grows more rapidly and reaches a heavier weight in the same length of time. In many animals he is also superior, because he furnishes a superior carcass, one in which the bone and other waste portions are smaller in proportion to the total weight. In cattle, for instance,, the dairy bred steer is in one sense a scrub for beef making, and yet the dairy bred s'teer will often make as many pounds of growth up to near maturity on a given amount of feed as will the beef ofnn*? P>if tVio hoof.Krorl otoor M1CU U b Uiv WVV.X-WIVU tfbVVl will dress a larger per cent, of his live weight and there will be less bone, tallow or inedible material on the carcass. There will also usually be a larger proprtion of his dressed carcass in the choice or higher priced cuts. For these reasons the well bred steer will sell for more The Aver Does not realize all that a Bt It is a friend?and then som A Real Is a financial institution thai of the community it serves, for the solving of all the fina tele.

THE IKON NERVE OF SAM HOUSTON, THE VIRGINIAN Courage and daring were qualities nhoMAtCl'ictif of all Tbp SfftlltR who VilUiMVLVl 4WVAV V* VV?? V- '? --w i won thei) right to fame hy frontier history, but for iron nerve and pure grit Sam Houston was the peer of them all. Perhaps he inherited his fortitude from his father, who was a soldier in the Revolution; perhaps, during his long stay among the Cherokee Indians he learned that a warrior bears pain without flinching. Houston was a Virginian who had entered the army and risen to the rank of ensign at the outrbeak of the Creek war in -1813. Gen. Andrew Jackson, "Old Hickory," had taken the field against the Creeks and, after a series of battles in which the Indians were defated, they made a last stand at their fortified encampment, Tohopeka, in the Great Horseshoe bend of the Tallapoosa river, Ala. During the assault on this fort, a barbed arrow* struck Houston in the thigh. He tried to pull it out, but failed. The agony was frightful. Calling to a soldier, Houston commanded him to extract the shaft. Twice the man tried and failed, then begged to be relievd of the task when he saw the unspeakable torture he was causing. "Try agsrin," commanded Houston. "And if you fail, I'll rin you through with my sword!" The third attempt was successful, and as the barbed shaft w*as torn from the flesh, it was followed by a gush of blood. General Jackson, seeing Houston's wound, ordered him to the rear. The young ensign waited until Jackson had passed on, had a surgeon bind up the wound, and in a few minutes he was bp.ck in the thick of the fighting. The high peak in Houston's adventurous life came in 1836 when, at* the head of a little army of 800 Texans, with the battle cry of "Remember the Alamo!" on their'lips, he de?feated the hordes of Santa Anna, the Mexican dictator, at San Jacinto, and won fredeon\for Texas. He was elected first president of the Lone Star republic. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Houston, who was governor of Texas, was bitterly opposed to the secession of that State from the Union. The Confederates forced him to resign. They required all men over sixteen to renter and to carry a pass while traveling. Houston refused to do either. Once they stopped him and demanded his pass. "San Jacinto is my pass through Texas!" thundered the brave old man as he rode on. Houston died at his home in Huntsville July 26, 1863, with the name of Texas on his lips. nil _ age man ink means to a community. ie* ' Bank t functions for the welfare It has machinery at hand,' ncial problems of its clienirst Essential lr idea or how practical it VED something your idea rd it deserves.
