The object of the institutes is to train athletic directors, camp leaders, swimming teachers and others seriously interested in water ,sport c to serve as instructors in Red Cross water safety methods at pools, riv ers, lakesides and ocean beaches. Of the ten institutes, five arc given in the eastern half of the country from June 18 to 28; in clusive. These take place at Brim- field, Massachusetts; Chautauqua, New York; Narrowsburg, New York; Annapolis, Maryland, and Brevard, N. C.

Department of Agriculture. With stackers, haymakers can build larger stacks thus reducing the waste hay on the outside of the stack. Loading hay on a wagon by hand and unloading with slings or a fork, eliminates about half the band ^aber. By usuing the sweep rake or the hay loader and also clings, fork, or a stacker, pitching is reduced to a minimum. Stackers are comparatively inexpensive and several homemade types are effi cient and fairly easy and chep ia construct. Farmers’ Bulletin 1615- F, Hay Stackers and Their Use, describes the different types of stackers, their cost, conditions fav^ orable for the use of the different types, the size of the stack that ean be built with each, and the size and duties of the crews.

Tedder ware- ious toll when weather conditions during the growing season may favor the growth and spread of the disease-producing organisms. Much of the trouble last year was without doubt due to the use of infected seed. Dr. G. M. Armstrong, plant pathologist, has recently made a visit to the bean sections around Lake City, Kingstree, Charleston, and Fairfax and has found much incipient “blight, which probably would have caused heavy damage had it not been checked by the very dry weather. Anthracnose, which is especially held in check by hot weather .was found caus ing damage in a few fields. The chief way in which the damage from these causes may be prevented, Dr. Armstrong says, is by the use of disease-free seed, and if the growers will insist on Western grown seed, chiefly froir Idaho, they can prevent most of such troubles in the seasons ahead of them. txt Potato Protection FOR AUDITOR cessively.
