into its present literary prominence in his

war paint, and attracted much attention.

PROTECT THE TuBERs.
Botanist At State Agricultural College
Discovers New Dancer.

Ames, July 10.-(SpeciaD- L. H.
Pammel. botanist of the Iowa agricul-
tural experimental station, which is
conducted in conjunction with the state
agricultural college, has made an inn
portant discovery which will interest
Iowa farmers. and in his most recent
report he says:
M In making an examination of some
potato plants few days ago, l found
that large percentage of the leaves
were affected by the common potato
rot fungus. (Phytopthora infestans.)
This fungus to my knowledge has not
been found in the state for number
of years. The present attack of pota-
toes and the severity seem TO indicate
that We have had an unusual season.
The matter is of such Importance to
potato growers that they should be
made familiar with methods of eXter-
minating the fungus.
I'VE would be extremely glad also to
receive from the farmers OF Iowa and
others, specimens of the diseased
leaves in order that we may get some
information on the distribution of the
fungus.
This fungus attack the leaves,
shoots and tubers. The potato leaves
have at first a yellowish color, soon
changing to brown. On the under
surface of the leaf white, frosty sub
stance may be seen. This substance
contains the spores. The fungus con-
tinues to propagate during the sum-
mer under favorable conditions. The
vegetative threads of the fungus ex-
tend down the stem and later cause a
rotting Of the tubers.
Eve would advise, therefore that
potato vines be treated immediately
with Bordeaux mixture in the follow.
ing proportions: @ 49,
Cooper sulDhate $3.50. 80. ..4 lbs
Quick lime .... .....-...... 4 lbs.
One Darrell of water ..... so gallons
Dissolve the copper sulp atet in an
earthen vessel in four or five gallons of
water. The lime should be Stacked in
another vessel. all Jumps should be
removed and the Stacked lime mixed
with copper sulphate solution in q bar
rel containing twenty gallons OF water
The lime should be thoroughly mixed
with the water and copper sulphate
and add enough water to make fifty
gallons. When it is done it should be
sprayed with knapsack or any other
sprayer Spray again in ten days or
two weeks. This spraying will be
found efticacious: We would advise
also that potatoes be dug and sold as
soon as possible for immediate use,
and that none of the diseased potatoes
be used for seed.
Giving this matter immediate at
tention will save to potato growers
many dollars worth of potatoes"

PRICE OF HOGS Low
CHOICE LIGHT STOCK is SOLD
FOR SIS PER HUNDRED
WEIGHT.
Present Quotation Has Not Been Du-
pIicated in the Past Two Years -
Farmers Said to be Afraid of This
Years Corn Crop.

The present quotation for choice
hogs over 200 pounds in weight is the
low figure of SIS per hundred-weight.
This price is the lowest that hogs
have sold at for period of two years
and the present price is $3.50 less
than the quotation at this time last
year. "The fear that the present
years crop of corn will be light" SAID
a prominent grain merchant today, is
probably the cause of this price being
so low, and it is we'll warranted, as
the crop of corn for the present year
will surely be small should the fall
season take its usual course and
start in on or about September l.
"The only salvation for the farmer"
continued the merchant, sis for the fall
of the year to set in unusually late,
for the greater part of this years crop
of corn was planted late and it will
not mature until later date than
is usual. The farmers are selling
their hogs rapidly, fearing this corn
calamity and are willing to part with
the slippery" animal with lesser pro.
fit than they would be if corn in the
fields was as high and prosperous as
it was last year at this time" The
lighter grade of hogs are demanding
little higher price, the quotation be-
ing $3.50 per hundred-weight. This, is
is stated, will decrease like the heav-
Ter stock if Iowa corn does not take a
squirt and come up to its usual height
at this time of year.
The unusually heavy rains which
have visited this section of the coun-
trv ;e the rpason for the slow growth
of corn. The soil was too wet for
the farmers to put their corn in at
the usual planting time and therefore
it looks as if something extraordinary
must happen, il this years crop OF
corn will be as good I. grade and as
abundant as was last years crop.

SOFT COAL PRICE TO RISE.
Kansas Operators Decide ON Increase

mour secretary.
The scale was not made public, but
it is understood that the advance to

by the operators.

Beard of Supervisors, Board of lnsan-
ity and County Physician Visit lnsti-
tuition Today-PIan to Care for More
Insane Patients-Expense Lighter.
srpm tuesdays Daily.

STrm tuesdays Daily.
There is a strong probability that
the Wapello county farm viii be en-
larged for the purpose of making room
for larger number of insane patients.
This morning the members of the
board of supervisors, the board of IN
sanity and County Physician F. W..
Bowles went out to the county farm
for the purpose of making an inves-
tigation and discussing the advisable
ity Of making an addition to the
buildings.
1t is possible to care for insane pa
tients at much lighter expense in
the county than if they were sent to
Mt Pleasant. The average expense
per patient at the county institution
has never exceeded $50 per annum,
while ii cqsts the county s12 month
or S144 alyear to keep patients at the
state Institution.
,lWell Cared For Here.
Insane patients are well cared for
81 the county farm There are now
Recommendations for So there, while So
are at present inmates of the house.
The patients are we'll cared for and
those who have been transferred there
from Mt Pleasant express no desire
whatever TO go back.
ExseIlcat Management.
All who have visited the county
farm have been struck with the ex-
cellent manner in which the institu-
ton is Toanpged by the superintend-
ent, George Wilson and his wife. Ev-
erything is kept scrupulously clean and
the best of order always prevails. SUI
Derintendent Wilson is amply able to
handle larger number of patients
and it is understood that he favors the
plan of enlarging the capacity of the
Institution.
Would be Great Saving.
The feature that most suggests a
change in the methods of caring for
: the great bulk of Wapello county in.
sane patients is the great saving that
would accrue. The difference in the
$144 required each year from the coun-
ty by the state for the care of each in.
dividllal patient sent to Mt. Pleasant
would soon pay for the Improvements
contemplated at the county farm
There are now fifty-one paupers and
fifty-six insane patients at the farm
and these latter if kept at the state
asylum would cost the county over
@O,OuU uuOlS II SOSIo " SdlS III
them in the county.
Fifty-Three at Mt. Pleasant.
There are fifty-three insane and in
ebriate inmates of the state asylum
from Wapello county and il the proper
arrangements could be made with the
state board of control, which has
4 charge of the disposition to be made
of the insane and inebriates and these
fifty-three could be brought to the
3 county farm the county would save al
least $4,000 annually. This difference
would be made up between the actua
cost of living as based on what has
been found to be the average cost o.
each patient in past years here ant
the arbitrary amount required by the
/, state. The officials will consider thu
advisability of making the improve
ments at their meeting today.
