SPRAYING POTATOES
FOR BLIGHT AND BUGS
Poison the Latter
e. p. Sandsten, HorticuIturaIist Wis
consin Agricultural College.

This experiment. station has con-
Quoted spraying trials for the last five
years in the leading potato growing
counties in the state TO determine,
first, whether early potato blight CAL
ternaria Solani) can be controlled by
the application of Bordeaux mixture,
and, secondly, to determine whether
spraying should be recommended to
the potato grower as profitable in
vestment and insurance against
blight
The term "early blight is mislead-
ing, due to the fact that the disease
does not usually do serious damage
until after August 10. 1t must also
be noted that the early blight upon
potatoes does not rot the tubers. This
injury is generally caused by some
other organism. The early blight
found is confined entirely to the vines
and reduces the yield by causing an
excessive percentage of culls and
small potatoes at harvest. The last
three weeks growth of the vine is
the important time in the formation
of tubers. By infesting the vines at
this time, the disease shortens the
growing period about two weeks,
causing the large percentage of small
potatoes.
If these affected leaves are ex-
amined with high power magnify
ing glass it will be discovered that
the tissues or cells of the leaf are
permeated with little threads or
strands of the fungus, which act like
roots in absorbing the food supply of
the leaf. If the leaf is thoroughly
torn apart, very often at the ends of
the little short threads will be found
minute club-shaped bodies called
spores, which serve a similar purpose
as do the seeds to the higher plants.
(See Fig. 81 This little fungus plant
grows and develops similar to the
way of the potato on which it feeds.
The little thread-like plants are
wholly imperceptible to the naked
eye. The black spots visible on the

SEES WOLVES KILL CHILD.
Trapper's Trained Animals Attack
Girl and Are Immediately Slain
by Her Father.

Saskatoon, Sask.-A weird tale OF
the north has been brought to Saska-
toon by Fred Allingham and James
and Mack J. Curtin, who have been
spending the winter around Moose
Lake. A trapper had secured several
young timber wolves which he trained
for driving. On one occasion he had
been away on a long journey and was
finishing a hard day in which the ami
mails had not received any food, as it
is not customary to feed dog teams
during the day while travelling.
AS the driver of the team APP
preached the shanty that was his
home, his three-year-old daughter ran
out to meet him and the famished an
imals jumped upon her and in flash
she was dead before the father could
lift hand. Selling a sharp AK the
trapper went at the wild creatures and
never stopped until he had killed all
of them.

Fame Deferred.
MICHIGAN

John LaFarge, for many years cele-
lrated mural painter, when he received
! medal of honor from the Architec-
ural league of New York, few weeks
igo, accepted II with some reticence
Of thanks" as he said IN spirit or
pleasantly, as coming rather late. His
years of work were almost past, he
said, and recognition now was useless
as help to live, although had 1t been
accorded earlier 1t would have
smoothed a very toilsome road. A few
days previous to this presentation,
when Mr.. w. p. Firth, member OF the
Royal Academy, attained his ninetieth
birthday, it was noted that pictures he
had sold in his early days for hun
dred dollars afterward brought more
than $5,000-of which, of course, he re-
ceived nothing. Another academician,
remarking on this fact, observed that
fame sometimes yields little practical
benefit to the one who wins it, to his
family, or to comrades he would gladly
aid. Millets "Angelus" was sold by
the painter for 5000, but after Millet
became famous it changed hands six
times, always at an advance, and was
finally bought by an American for
$160,000. Yet its value, as work or
art, was fixed when it left the easel.
So the academician suggested that in
similar cases a percentage OF the ad-
vanced price should be paid to the
artists heirs, or If there were none, be
used by the state to purchase the pro-
auctions of living painters. Anomalies
of the "Angelus" variety are not con-
fined to any class of artists. Authors,
composers, inventors and all who exer-
else creative gifts are subject to the
experience shared by the painters, nor
1t easy to name practicable rem
iy All the more keenly, ii may be,
n US the Youths Companion, one feels
the pity of it" that fame, or the re-
wards of fame, should come too late to
help a genius to live; and one wishes
that, before expanding vast sums for
''old masters" prospective purchasers
would try to satisfy themselves that no
new master is striving-and starving
within easy reach.
Charlevoix county herald., 1909-05-01

An important step toward stopping
the waste of the fuel resources of the
country has been taken by the United
States geological survey in it's tests of
the Goals of the Rocky mountain region
at the government plant in Denver,
Col. At that plant the purpose has
been to determine what Goals of this
region are capable of making coke
that can be used by the great metal
lurgic interests of the west. OF 81
Goals tested, the government experts
succeeded in producing good coke from
all but three, though a number of
these Goals had never been known to
be capable of making coke. These re-
suits, which will prove of much impor-
lance to the west in the next few
years, were obtained by following out
a carefully prepared treatment Of the
Goals. Each Of the Goals was washed
In order to get rid of the ash, sulphur
and other impurities which prevent
the making of coke that is of any use
In metallurgical work. The washing
tests not only prepared these Goals so
that they made good coke, but also
demonstrated the fact that many Goals
of the west which have too much ash
and sulphur to be used economically
under a steam boiler may be rendered
of commercial value through such
treatment.
