Fits Rural Service 
—Light enough for stall-free traction in 
mud, sand and plowed fields, 
—Heavy enough so that brute endurance 
qualities can be built-in without stint, 
—Small enough to permit easy driving and 
agility around crowded market places, 
—Large enough to carry worth-while loads 
(500 to 2500 pounds) at a lower cost than 
any other truck built, 
—Powerful enough to master the resistance 
of hills and unimproved roads, 
—Simple enough so that owner-attention 
I can save garage service,

r —Quick enough to save valuable time

Dividing Daffodils and Hyacinths 
I have lot§ of daffodils and hyacinths 
but they bloom very little. Do you think 
the bulbs should be separated, as they 
are very thick? At what time of year 
•should it be done? MRS. B. m.a. 
Wai’ren, Pa. 
If your daffodils have been left undis¬ 
turbed for several seasons they should 
certainly be lifted and separated, as 
their crowded condition will lessen 
bloom. We find it wise to lift daffodils 
every third year. Hyacinths really give 
best results when lifted and given a rest 
every year, but we usually leave them 
until the third year. In both cases the 
bulbs are left undisturbed to ripen the 
foliage; that is until it becomes limp and 
brown. The bulbs are lifted, cleaned and 
dried in an airy shady place, and may 
then be stored until Fall, or divided and 
replanted at once. It is often more con¬ 
venient to store the bulbs during Sum¬ 
mer, so as to leave the bed vacant for 
other planting. When daffodils are left 
undisturbed for a number of years, grass 
usually runs into the clumps, choking 
their growth, and it is an advantage to 
lift them so that they may be cleaned 
out, as well as for the purpose of divi¬ 
sion. 
Events of the Week 
(Continued from Page 724) 
his note to Secretary Hughes had been 
misconstrued by Senators. Comment in 
leading American papers, condemning the 
Senate’s attitude, has had a soothing ef¬ 
fect on Japanese opinion, Tokio dis¬ 
patches say. 
Francis R. Weller, a consulting engi¬ 
neer interested in the Hooker-White-At- 
terbury proposal for the operation of 
Muscle Shoals, told the Senate Agri¬ 
culture Committee April 21 that under 
that bid the government would receive 
in 56 years a total net income of .$305,- 
163,700 as compared with .$90,998,300 
from the Ford proposal and .$136,400,- 
000 from that of associated power com¬ 
panies. During examination of Weller, 
Henry Ford informed the committee it 
would be impossible for him to appear to 
explain his bid, but that W. B. Mayo, 
his chief engineer, would testify. Chair¬ 
man Norris, in inviting Mr. Ford to ap¬ 
pear. called attention to the fact that 
the Detroit manufacturer had never ap¬ 
peared before a Congressional committee 
in connection with his bid. He also in¬ 
formed him that the hearings would be 
closed April 29. Experimentation in th ? 
production of a chemical to destroy the 
black wheat rust insect would be made 
at the Muscle Shoals plant, if the Hook¬ 
er bid is accepted, A. B. Hooker, chem¬ 
ist, associated with the bidders, told the 
committee. The bidders also plan, he 
said, to produce an insecticide to kill the 
peach borer. “Our proposal,” Hooker 
said, “will deliver a greater amount and 
a cheaper fertilizer than any other offer, 
whether by Ford, by the power com¬ 
panies or by direct government opera¬ 
tion.” 
Material modification of the tariff pro¬ 
visions of the McNary-Haugen agricul¬ 
tural export bill was agreed upon April 
22 by the House Agriculture Committee. 
A substitute was approved which would 
give the President authority to declare 
embargoes on any agricultural product 
or to increase tariff duties when im¬ 
portations result in losses to the cor¬ 
poration to be created under the bill for 
the marketing abroad of surplus farm 
commodities. The substitute, in the 
opinion of committee members, provides 
a more simple and effective method of 
tariff adjustment than that proposed 
originally in the bill, which wotild have 
empowered the Secretary of Agriculture 
to determine what changes should be 
made in tariff rates on farm products and 
would have authorized the President to 
put these changes into effect. 
ORGANIZED CO-OPERATION 
A NEW BOOK By JOHN J. DILLON 
This book is written in three parts. 
PART ONE—The Development of the Ag¬ 
ricultural industry. In five chapters. 
PART TWO—Fundamental Principles and 
Adaptable Forms of Co-operative Organiz¬ 
ation. In ten chapters. 
PART THREE—Application of Co-oper¬ 
ation to Efficient and Economic Distribution 
of Farm Products. In seven chapter*. 
Thi* is a new treatment ol the co-operative 
subject. Heretofore writers of books have 
contented themselves with accounts of co-op¬ 
erative work where established. It has been 
mostly propaganda and exhortation. This 
was all good in it* time. But we have grown 
beyond it. Farmers are now committed to 
co-operation. Once shy of.it, they are at last 
a unit for it. What they want now is principles 
and definite policies that have proved suc¬ 
cessful. This book is the first real attempt to 
supply this want. Other, and it is to be hoped 
better, books will follow on this line; but for 
the present there is no other book seriously 
treating the subject of organized co-operation.

Obituary 
John Charles Vaughan, widely known 
as a seedsman, died in Chicago, April 12. 
He was born in Pennsylvania in 1851, 
and was educated in the Chicago public 
schools and Hillsdale, Mich., College. He 
entered the seed business in 1S76, his 
business being incorporated in 1901. He 
was essentially a self-made man, paying 
for his high-school education by selling 
nursery stock, and this induced him to 
start in the seed business in a small 
way, which was the foundation of the 
present firm. Mr. Vaughan was the first 
to establish a wholesale commission flor¬ 
ists’ business in Chicago. He was one 
of the founders and charter members of 
the Society of American Florists, and 
served as its president in 1905. He was 
also an ex-president of the American 
Seed Trade Association. He was con¬ 
nected with many horticultural associa¬ 
tions, and was a member of several clubs. 
His business interests were varied, and 
his strong personality, and tireless ac¬ 
tivity made him an outstanding figure. 
He is survived by a widow and two sons. 
Why Grow 
Scabby Potatoes? 
You needn’t 
if you use 
lnoc-Sul 
Inoculated Sulphur 
It will positively over¬ 
come the scab organism 
and keep the crop clean, 
bright and marketable. 
lnoc-Sul is dependable insurance 
against potato scab. It cleans up 
infected fields—it keeps uninfected 
fields clean. It is inexpensive and 
easily applied, requiring no special 
machinery. Broadcast by hand, 
fertilizer or lime broadcaster, or 
seed drill. 
Inoc-Sul strikes at the very root 
of the potato scab evil—if overcomes 
the scab organism IN THE SOIL, not 
merely the scab on the seed, as does 
seed treatment. 
Write us today. We will, with¬ 
out cost or obligation, tell you all 
about Inoc-Sul— what it is—where 
to get it—how to use it—how it will 
save your market losses. Tell us 
how many acres of potatoes you 
will plant and the name of your 
dealer.
