her II,v was on. I hat is supposed to he* 
the cause of mosaic or white blight of 
I In 1 pickle plant s. This is the opinion of 
l’rof. S, I*. Doolittle, plant palliologist, 
of Washington, 1). ('., who in company 
with Commissioner of Agriculture George 
U. Hogue of New York State, Drs. 
.Moyers and Crosby and several others, 
visited our farm in Summer of 1920. 
I took a half-gallon syrup can and per¬ 
forated (lie bottom, using a harness awl, 
attached a wooden handle to same and 
applied about 40 lbs. of tobacco dust per 
acre every other day lor nearly two 
weeks, beginning just before the plants 
broke through the ground. This treat¬ 
ment seemed to he very effective, not¬ 
withstanding Jots of rain fell at this time. 
When the plants aftaiu (lie third leaf we 
begin spraying with Bordeaux, t—(J—50 
formula, and apply twice a week, 100 
gallons per aero, after the tirst few appli¬ 
cations, applied with barrel sprayer, lo 
which is attached two leads of hose, tak¬ 
ing 11 rows at a time. Never lie in a 
hurry when applying Hordenux; take 
plenty of time to see (lint every hill is 
covered, else the blight will get in its 
work, and once it gets started will soon 
spread over the entire field. 
We hoed three times, leaving four or 
five plants to the hill, and 1.000 lbs. 
" fertilizer applied by hand side 
of row and ^cultivated in at the last cul¬ 
tivation. We did not have any loss this 
season from oil her blight or vines pro¬ 
ducing white pickles, not withstanding a 
veryunfavorable season as far as weather 
conditions were concerned, and produced 
over 100,1)00 per -acre of merchantable 
stock. EDGAR S. SAM MIS.

The School Question 
The District School 
Is it permissible for trustee of coi 
mon school district to borrow money 
the sum of .$200 on behalf of his distri 
without calling special school nieetin 
Hits he the right to keep this mon 
in his possession, and not turn if over 
the collector and treasurer (the (wo a 
combined in one) here iu this (listridV 
Is it permissible at 
meeting to take a hat 
among the crowd and 
in this manner? Anyone 
may throw in a ballot 
may not lie a voter. 
Should there not he

New York. 
Whero there is no statutory provision 
authorizing the trustee of a common 
school district to borrow money on the 
credit of the district For the running ex¬ 
penses of the school, if such money is 
borrowed and is used for purposes for 
which the trustee would he authorized to 
levy and collect a tax without vote of the 
district, including payment of teachers’ 
wages and the ordinary running expenses 
of the school, it is m.v opinion that the 
district would become chargeable with 
Ihe amount of tin* indebtedness. 
A trustee has no authority to retain in 
his possession district moneys. Such 
moneys should be placed in the bauds of 
the collector or district treasurer, assum¬ 
ing the district has such treasurer. 
It is the duty of the trustee under the 
law to see that a suitable ballot box is 
provided for use at the annual school 
meeting. The election should be conduct¬ 
ed in an orderly manner. There is no 
prescribed form of ballot or regulations 
as to balloting, except the general pro¬ 
visions as to the appointment of inspec¬ 
tors of election, who are required to re¬ 
ceive the votes cast and to canvass the 
same, and the keeping of a poll list by the 
clerk. Ballots may he written or printed, 
or partly written and partly printed, and 
must contain tin' name of the person vot¬ 
ed for. 
There should he opportunity for the ex¬ 
ercise of the right to challenge a voter 
who was thought to he disqualified. If 
the challenged voter makes the declaration 
required by Section 201 of the education 
law, his vote must be received and 
counted. iuwi.v Esmond.
