worthy representative Of one Of the
best and busiest towns in Virginia,
and it responds to the support received
from the community by never omit

CEEDTrABLE EDITION.

one of the most creditable editions
of a newspaper We have seen for some
time was the industrial edition OF the
Famville Herald which came TO our
desk last Friday morning. There are
1l5 cuts i'm the paper giving the scenes
in and around FarmVille. and quite a
number Of photographs of officials and
prominent citizens. Mr.. Hart, the ei-
hcient editor. deserves much credit for
getting out such an up-to-date paper
We will say for him that he should
occupy the top round of the ladder in
weekly journalism in the Old Dom

Success in transplanting strawber-

manner of doing the work. If the plants

setting them. The success of this op-

POTATO BLIGHTS.

There arc two blghts, or funguous
diseases, which affect potatoes in all
sections almost every season; one is
the early blight and the other is the
late blight When potato plants seem
to stop growing for no apparent cause
or the foliage becomes brown or spot
ted, the trouble can safely be laid to
the blight 1t has become so common
and widespread that in most sections
the annual potato crop is reduced full
ly so per cent.
Potato blight, however, can easily, be
controlled if taken in time, and a full
crop of tubcrs will result Begin early
and spray the vines every two or three
weeks with the well known Bordeaux
mixture. In many localities potato
growers have nearly doubled their crop
by frequent spraying with this mix
ture.
The late potato blight is also re-
sponsible for wet rot of tubers in the
bin. Its progress on stored potatoes is
checked by lusting them with air
slaEed lime. The cost of spraying po-
tatoes is about one dollar per acre, and
the gain from five or six sprayings
amounts to an average Of about $25
per acre. When potatoes are thorough
ly sprayed they not only produce much
more of superior tubers but the tu-
bers are less liable to rot and future
infection of the potato soil is reduced.
Cool Cream Quickly.
1t is important to reduce the tenn
perature of cream as soon as possible
after separation. BY cooling the cream
thoroughly at once after separation
the growth of germs is checked. In

est number of feeding roots is, how
ever. the most desirable if properly
handled Such plants should be set
in a broad. fat hole where the roots
can be spread out in natural form.
A satisfactory method is to open a
hole by thrusting the blade of spade
into the soil, move the handle forward,
thus opening a broad, wedged shaped
hole, spread the roots of the plants in
fan shape, and place them in the role;
then withdraw the spade and insert it
about six inches farther forward and
by backward movement of the hand
le firmly press the earth against the
roots of the plants. Two persons-a
man to operate the spade and boy to
place the plants-can set plants very
rapidly in this manner. This practice
is well suited to localities with sparse
rainfall, as it thoroughly compacts the
soil about the roots of the plants and
allows the roots to extend full length
into the moist soil. Plants set in this
way may have the additional advant
age of being spread out so as to have
a laIker percentage of their surface
actually in contact with the soil than
when set with round dibble.
Clean and shallow culture are the
culture. Growers have come to realize
that cultivation means more than the
destruction of weeds. Kidding the soil
of weeds. the competitors of the plants
is not all. Cultivation has a beneficial
influence upon the soil by loosening it
and making it more easily penetrated
by moisture in the form of rain or dew
By keeping g blanket of loose soil three
inches thick OYER the area not actually
occupied by plants. the evaporation of
soil moisture is reduced: more moist
ure is, therefore. retained for the use
or the pltnS In the rows. BY cOnSerV-
ing moisture, cultivation tends to cOun-
terbalance the evil effect of drought. A
better stand of plants can be main
tanned during a dry period on well
titled ground than upon ground that is
poorly cultivated. The mechanical
effect of grinding the soil upon Itself
during cultivatio reduces it and the
fertilizers to smaller particles, thus
exposing more surface to soil moisture,
and as result, increasing the avail
able plant food of the soil. The old
saying that ''tillage is manure if in
terpreted in terms of crop yield, is
true, though since tillage adds no
plant food to the soil, the statement
is not literally true The benefit from
preserving soil mulch, with its con-
sequent economy in the use of soil
moisture, is sufficiently important to
justify through tillage.-L. c. Corbett
