How Potato SPRAYING Paid.

Potatoes are now in the ground, and
many farmers think that practically all
has been done that it is possible for
them to do in the way of improving
their chances for a good crop. OF
course, all will cultivate a few times
and most will pick or poison bugs
How many intend to spray for dis
eases? The experiments made by the
station at Geneva, N. Y, during the
past three years prove that spraying
with bordeaux mixture for the preven-
ton of blight and rot is most i'm
portant factor in increasing the yields.
In fourteen cooperative tests, made
by farmers using farm methods, there
was an average gain of sixty-two and
one-fourth bushels per acre on 1870
acres with net financial gain of
$24.S6 per acre.
In forty-one volunteer experiments,
reported to the station, but in no way
controlled or directed by it, more than
$50 acres were sprayed, with an in
creased yield averaging 5S1a bushels
per acre and with profit of $22 per
acre. Thirty growers cleared $4,000
by spraying. These figures certainly
should command the attention of pota-
to growers and the bulletin containing
them, No. 264, should be secured and
read with care. Doubtless farmers
outside of the state of New York can
secure copies of this bulletin until the
supply for such distribution is ex-
hauSted

THE ESSENCE OF CHARITY.

Recent estimates put Mr.. Rockefei-
millions or the income at 5 per cent
on 500 million dollars, a sum so mon
strous as to be practically ncompre-
hensible Out of this mass of wealth
Mr. Rockefeller gave away eleven
millions the other day. An alumnus Of
an Iowa school is working ten hours
a day on $500 yearly salary He gave
$40 to the aid of his school and went
without new suit of clothes to do it.
He gave it because he realized the
need and cared enough for his school
to sacrifice something. A washer
woman who works for ten cents an
hour gave dollar to the church. She
did it because she thought it her duty.
self for her faith.
No one heard of the student or the
washerwoman. Everyone knew of Nj;
Rockefeller's gift of millions, but in
the scales of desert the eleven dollars
of the poor and self-denying fall with
clang when weighed against Rookie
feller's millions. Mr.. Rockefeller part
ed with burden when he parted with
eleven out of $6OO,OO0,O0o. His was no
act of denial, no deed of abnegation.
If the essence of charity is in self
sacrifice, the student and the washer
woman should have held the public eye
while Rockefeller was unnoticed.

Virqinia Poultry Raisina.

The western part of Virginia has been
known for years as a great section for
raising poultry, and the industry is in
creasing at rapid rate. The shipment
of Thanksgiving turkeys and chickens
for all seasons brings in a consider
able revenue. The Harrisonburg News
has just compiled the figures of the
production of Rockingham county for
last year. 1t finds that 10000 crates
were shipped to market, total of TO-
10000 eggs sold from one county in
single year. This does not include
many thousands consumed on the
farms where they We're laid. The low
est price of the year was Ia to Is cents
a dozen, and in December 80 cents was
paid. The average for the last year
was % cents. The profit from eggs
alone to Rockingham county farmers
was nearly 100000. Virginia is able

Potato Blight, Early and Late.

There are two diseases which work
in partnership, each one taking the
crop when the season is unfavorable
for the other. Until recently the mala-
dies affecting potatoes have been attr-
buted to one cause, known as the rot.
but recent Investigations have shown
that there are several kinds of fungi at
work. The two most common are the
early blight or leaf spot and the downy
mildew, or late blight.
OF the two diseases the late blight is
the more destructive. 1T usually APP
pears late in the season and sometimes
spreads very rapidly. Beginning with
a single spot on leaf it quickly in
fects the whole plant, often destroying
the top in few days. On the low
surface of the leaf. a mildew is formed
which suggests the name. The result
upon the tubers is we'll known to potato
growers. The crop may be destroyed
before 1t is dug, or the disease may
appear later in the stored potatoes,
causing a foul odor with the rapid de-
cay. A warm. moist season is most
favorable for the spread of the disease.
AT such a time the spores are devel-
oped rapidly and are scattered about
freely. They seem to have no difficult
ty In finding congenia place on
moist leaves. The germs winter over
on old vines, in the tubers and in the
ground. The first sign of the disease
is a brown irregular spot on the TO-
liage. II is not often seen before the
middle of July and it may be as late
tn, No. I1,rx
appearance.
The early blight or leaf spot begins
its work before the downy mildew. 1t
is often found in early summer. AT
first 1t is noticeable in small brown
spots on the leaf. These enlarge
slowly, till at last the whole leaf ex-
cept the midrib may become dry and
brittle. The plant dies before it's time
and the tubers are small. They do not
rot, but If the plant was attacked
early, the quality is impaired. The
disease is at its worst during a
drought. in which it is the opposite Of
the late blight. Much of the damage
attributed to dry weather is due to
this cause. The spores are produced on
a portion of the diseased vines. The
hStt peClie Is DlSlHeu loF Il part OIL the
damage done. The wounds which it
makes in the leaves are places for the
spores Of the disease to get hold Per-
haps. too, it assists in distributing the
germs, as insects often do, by carrying
them about
In field culture the ravages of fun
gous diseases are partially prevented
by crop rotation, but in the limited
area Of garden this is not sufficient.
Here spraying must be resorted to.
Fortunately Bordeaux mixture is ef-
fectual, but it must be thoroughly APP
piled and the treatment must begin
early and continued late to protect
against both diseases. For field crops
it Is expensive, which has kept from
coming into more common use, but it
should give satisfaction in the garden
where the area to be treated is small
and the work quickly done

THE STATE PRESS CENSORSHIP.

Since the Register and Leader sug-
been uppermost in Iowa politics for the
past five years should not be forgotten
in the next gubernatoral campaign,
the Burlington Hawkeye and Cedar
Rapids Republican have been busy
reading the Des Moines paper out of
the republican party. The Register
and Leader, reviewing the recent po-
litical history Of the state, very prop
erly suggested that district candidates.
statewide demands and that guber-
material candidate should stand some-
where and for something other than
mere harmony Then the papers
referred to brought out bell
book and candle and began
the same hedge ceremony of ex-
communication over the Register and
Leader that they have for the past five
years farcically INDUCED, In over the
Il lls
says:
"a large majority Of the republicans
of Iowa are not prepared to acquiese in
such policy which involves retiring
it's present representation in the SEN
ate and house Of congress, and subor-
dinating state interests and political
thought to national interests and
propaganda of the Iowa idea,' it is
very clear that The Register and
Leader cares less for the party and
republican success than it does for, it's
peculiar political tenets and the prep
aration for it's new sphere as an i'm
dependent newspaper"
And the Republican at Cedar Rapids
says:
The Register and Leader should
cease to make any pretense of being
republican. 1t should run the demo-
cratic flag to the very apex Of it's flag
pole and then nail 1t there, for it will
be only thru the democratic party that
it will get its hearts desire. for it is
easy to see that The Register and
Leader is wholly out o. sympathy with
the basic principles Of protection.
This is a case Of hedge priests as

been proposed is to vitalize the Dingley
law and give it the functions the men
who made it intended it should have.
to use the 20 per cent referred to by
Mr.. Dolliver as it was intended to be
used, as trading stock; to follow out
the policy Of Mckinley and Kasson.
What the Register and Leader asked
for was an expression of the republic
can party of the state on this vital
question, one also upon which the var
ious associations of grain and meat
producers and manufacturers of the
state have spoken plainly and upon
which within few weeks national
convention of the livestock, farming
and manufacturing interests is to con-
vene. And upon this the Hawkeye and
the Republican start snorting and
shrieking like a locomotive whose en-
gineer sees cattle on the track.

TERMS:
the NEW STATE SECRETARY.

By rendering the state secretaryship
to Elihu b. Root President Roosevelt
has made choice that the country
will approve with unanimity. 1t is
unlikely that such unanimous approv-
al would have been given to any other
man in the public eye. Mr.. Root brings
to the office the keen intellectual
shrewdness and wide capacity in pub
alike i'll public and private life. Not
only this but his record in the cabinet
is one of entire loyalty to his chief
and loyalty to Roosevelt is passport
to popular confidence.
The task assumed by Mr. Root is no
light one. 1t calls for great and sim
cere man with wide knowledge of
world affairs, the Judgment and capac-
ity to handle them and the character
to handle them with justice. He comes
to fill the vacancy left by the acknow-
lodged leader of the worlds diplomats,
not only by ability but thru a long APP
premiership under great men, and in
foreign service. Mr.. Root is not a
graduate of the school of hard knocks
In the field of diplomacy as was John
Hay, nor has he grown up in the state
service under such masters as Lincoln
and Mckinley, but he has the analyti-
cal power, the broad vision and virile
intellect to make a great secretary of
him his great opportunity and sub
scribe to his selection for the most I'M
portant place in the cabinet.
Mr.. Root is at the Osler age of 60
years, having been born Feb. Is, 1S45
in the state of New York. He began
his work as so many successful public
men have done as schoolteacher-
an American public man who has new
err taught school would be anomalous
in American biography-and was
graduated from New York law
school in 1867. He was United States
attorney for the southern district of
New York by appointment of Presi
dent Arthur delegate to the state con-
stitutional convention of 1894 and was
chairman Of the Judiciary committee.
Els face is not new one in Roose-
velt's cabinet, by whom he was made
secretary of war In 1899 He has been
called again by a great man to fill
great mans place and the country will
hope for HON to live UP to

busting Potato Vines.

Tho not as common as the liquid
poison for the potato beetle there is
nevertheless many farmers who apply
dry mixtures to their potato vines. BY
working when the dew is on the vines
and not too much wind blowing very
satisfactory results are secured. In
fact some prefer the dry to the liquid
material In another column we show
very unique method of applying the
plaster, including the poison. Portions
of two gunny sacks are used. By walk
ing between the rows saking the sack
lightly over each hill. there is no
trouble in applying the dry material
quickly and economically.
