Aside from a few dances which open
the dancing season in Lewiston, and
a few entertainments given i'm honor
of departing friends, society circles
were very quiet this week Society
events are always quiet during the
week and although under usual condi-
tions social events of any descriptions
would now be in order the people are
generally making great preparations
for the coming fair week Many will
entertain friends from out of town
during this week. Others wish to at
tend the fair, and are planning for the
weeks pleasure, and all hesitate to
enter into the whirl or active enter
tainments and social events until this
festival period has passed.
Prominent among the social events
of the week was a luncheon given
at the Vollmer home in honor Of Miss
Olive Neal, who left during the week
to attend the University of Washing
ton, and in honor of Miss Fay Yantis
All of the members OF the club were
present, and each contributed somer
thing to the luncheon. The decora-
tions were of pink and white and the
color scheme was generally conform
ed to. There was an abundance of
flowers. which were Hastily arranged
The club members regretted to lose
Miss Neal from their circle, but each
was determined to make her last
meeting with the club a pleasant one
and the event was pronounced sue
cess.
The students OF the Normal school
met socially during the week to be-
come acquainted with the new students
and renew the friendships OF last term.
Miss Urch, dean of women, assisted
by the women of the Y. M. C. A., gave
an informal reception to the students
and faculty, at the reception hall in
Morris hall. Light refreshments were
served and pleasant evening was
spent. Practically all Of the students
were present and the members Of the

Vermont, where experiments in breed
ing and selection for increased re-
sistance are under way. These results
have been correlated with information
recently secured by circular Of in
quiry addressed to large number Of
potato specialists in the Northeastern
States and in Canada. From these it
appears that wide variation is shown
in disease resistance among the varie-
ties now in cultivation in America,
but that no one variety is preeminent.
Among those which have been wide
ly tested, the following deserve men
tion as Of the resistant class: Dakoto
Red, Rustproof, Irish, Cobbler, Sir
Walter Raleigh, Doe Pride, and White
Beauty.

tion in 1905 the following varieties

velopment of disease-resistant varieties

OF great practical utility.
POTATOES.
During recent years the disease re.
slstance of potatoes especially has re.
ceiyed attention by several of tbe
agricultural experiment stations in the
United States, notably those of Maine.
Minnesota, and Vermont. A recent
bulletin of the Bureau of Plant In.
dustry of the Department of Agricul
ture, prepared by L. R. Jones, of the
Vermont Station, summarizes and dis
cusses this work, and that along sim
liar lines abroad, as well as the ex-
perience of practical growers. Sum.
marizing the results, Professor Jones
draws the following tentative con.
clusions:
Disease resistance in potatoes is
relative, not absolute, no variety
known being wholly proof against late
blight and rot. 1t seems related to
general Vegetative vigor, and is, there
fore, in a measure dependent upon
cultural and developmental conditions
ana tends to decrease with the age of
the variety. 1t can be restored by
originating new varieties from seed.
especially of hybrid origin. Not ali
seedlings show superior disease re-
sistance.
Early varieties may escape the dis,
ease by maturing before it becomes
epidemic, but when similarly exposed
they are, as class, less resistant than
late varieties.
The source of seed tubers Is a mat
ter of Importance, northern-grown
seed giving plants the superior disease
resistance in Europe Seed from a
crop that was not too highly fertilized
is probably preferable. Possibly tub.
ers are better for seed purposes if dug
before they reach full maturity. High
fertilization, especially with nitro
genous manures, lowers the power of
the plant to resist both blight and
rot.
So far as skin characteristics are an
index, the red varieties with thick
and rough skin seem more resistant
as class than the thin-skinned white
varieties. So far as stem and foliage
characters are concerned, the evi-
dence favors the stem that is hard,
rough. and rather woody at the base,
and the leaf that is small, somewhat
rough, and dark colored.
In America trials as to disease re.
sistance have been conducted at some
of the experiment stations, notably in

The farmers too greatest foes are
insects and plant diseases. He can,
by a proper rotation of crops and
fertilization, convert a poor into a rich
soil, and he can stimulate plant growth
by plenty of fertilization. By the
same process he can keep down the
weeds which rob his crops of nourish.
ment and moisture. He can, to great
extent, overcome, with but little
trouble, all the various smaller him
drances to crop growing all but the
bugs and the blight These twain are
hard to handle. None is so arrogant
as to profess Indifferent to their at
tacks. Not many years ago they were
expected, not the less dreaded, espe-
cially the blights and the rots and the
mildews; they were the natural vista
tions of providence. There was no
use trying to combat them. If they
came, they came. The farmer prayed
that they might not come that year.
Now, science has shown us that they
can, in most cases, be overcome. If
not overcome, they can be prevented.
Yet the process is often fraught with
farmer.
Now suppose a man could develop
a strain of plants so hardy that
blights and rust would pass them by
in disgust and so bitter and unsavory
for bug that the hymenopterd, the
coIeopterG and the other "toughs" of
the insect trust would pass by and
prefer to eat oak and hickory leaves?
1t would be cinch for that man,
would 1t not? He could sit in the
shade and hire myrmidons to do his
work, directing those close at hand
In person and those at a distance by
telephone. Such a condition may be
possible. The man who gets in first
would be the one to sit in the shade
and reap the advantage. Eventually
we would all get on to the scheme,
and, unless the population of the world
increased with accelerated rapidity,
there would be an over-production Of
food products and prices would eventu-
ally get back to their present level,
so that we would all have to work
again.
The Department of Agriculture and
some of the experiment stations have
been working along this line of Sc
locting resistant plants with the idea
of at least giving the enterprising
American farmer a good big start.
In the aggregate enormous crop
losses-millions and millions-are
caused by the attacks of insects and
plant diseases. In dry weather in
sects are particularly abundant, and
in wet weather plant diseases -four

1Sh, while In average weather both do
the best they can to gather the crop
ahead of the farmer. Many plant dis
eases and insects can be controlled by
the various poisons, sprays, and cul.
tural methods already discovered, but
for some-as, for example, the rust of
wheat, peach yellows, clover-seed fly,
satisfactory remedies have not
yet been discovered.
Some instances may be cited to show
Just what is meant by resistant or i'm
mune varieties and their value. Grapes
furnish a striking example. Euro
pean grapes planted in this country
fail wherever the American grape-root
louise is present, because the louise is
able to attack and destroy the roots
of these varieties. The roots of ma.
tive American grapes are also attacked
by the same louse, but are so hard and
wiry that the louise can not destroy
them. In other words they are re-
sistant.
The unusual resistance of the Keif-
fer pear to blight has made it pos
sible to grow this pear in the South.
ern States, where most other Varie-
ties fail because of blight. The va
riety of cowpea known as Little Iron
has proved so resistant to wilt disease
that in some fields it has survived
when all other varieties have been
killed. American gooseberries are but
little subject to the mildew which Sc
riously affects the larger English va
rieties when grown here. With nearly
every crop grown, some of its vari-
eties are more resistant or immune to
some disease or insect attack than
others.
Some varieties of the same plant
are but little affected by disease,
while others are badly injured. Va
riations in this respect also extend
TO individual plants of given variety.
These facts have been utilized to
some extent in the origination of the
various so-called "disease-proof" va
rieties which have been introduced
into culture-as, for example, the
"rust-proof" varieties of wheat, oats.
etc. As rule, however, these varie-
ties have not been developed by any
systematic, scientific methods of Sc
lection and breeding, and although a

grown from the seed of one scotsman.
Many of the hills from this strain of
Rockyford seed remained green
throughout the season and produced
good crop of melons. Further obser-
vations in the muskmelon fields of
that neighborhood also showed that
wherever this strain of Rockyford seed
had been used many hills were unaf-
fected with rust, while with other
strains of seed of the same variety
the vines were all dead.
The Investigator selected a quantity
Of seed from the rust-resistant hills
and planted them in comparison with
ordinary seed. ION the rust-resisting
hills the melons were hidden under
healthy growth of vines, and were
large, solidly netted, with thick, firm
flesh, small seed cavity completely
filled with seed. On the rusted hills
the plants were almost devoid of leaves
and the small melons were premature
ly ripe, with thin, watery flesh, open,
large seed cavity, and practically of
no market value"
In tracing back the history of this
strain of seed it was found that some
years before scotsman had saved the
first lot from single healthy melon
taken from a field of rusted vines. 1t
had therefore been developed by the
simple process of saving seed from
the best melons produced by plants
which withstood attacks of rust when
surrounding plants were destroyed by
this disease. What was thus accom-
n1ichad hu nno forr,o,. xy;fh apa oroy,
can probably be accomplished by other
farmers with the same or with other
crops, If they will be alert, while the
crops are growing, to select and mark
individual plants which show excep-
tional merit along the lines of pro-
life yield, early maturity, resistance to
disease, or other desirable quality, and
save seed separately from the plant
showing such qualities. Marked va
riations which may be proftably util-
lied in this way are constantly occur.

farms.
The point to be emphasized is that
improvements in farm crop varieties
nearly always trace back to individual
plants. No one is in better position

the farmer. He is in his fields, gar
den, or orchard, every day, where these
exceptional plants are produced. If
one plant in a rust-infected wheat
field stands up green and free from
the disease, that is plant to save
seed from as the basis of a rust-re
sistant strain. If one hill of pota-
toes in blighted field remains unaf
fected by disease, seed from that hill
may produce blight-resistant variety
If squash plant is found that is dis
tasteful to the squash bug, seed from
that hill may produce squash vines
which the bugs will not molest.
The important fact is that some
plants are much more resistant to dis
ease and insect attacks than others.

again looked upon with favor, espe-
cially the little mantles which go with
three-piece suits or those of lace or

probably due to the return of the small

ner of shapes and styles, the sleeves
of which often resemble cape-like af-

The long gloves which are worn with
short sleeves are held up in a novel
way by wristlets of elastic covered

The evidence at hand seems to
justify the hope that the combined eff
forts of potato specialists working
from both the practical and the scien-
tific standpoints may soon result in
the development of varieties of pota-
toes combining general excellence with
a high degree of disease resistance.

local grower of rust-resisting canta

loupe industry. In this case seed of
the Rockyford variety was purchased
from five different seedsmen. They
were planted and cultivated under sim
liar conditions. When rust attacked
the field just before the melons began
to ripen, it developed rapidly and soon
destroyed all the vines except those
