Elm Has a Cancer.

The famous Bertram elm in Salem.
Mass. has a cancer. 1t was noticed
for some time that no cavities showed
on the elm. This was proof to the ex-
perienced eye that there was decay in
side the tree.
An investigation showed that the elm
had a cancer on the inside, which, If
allowed to grow. would kill the tree
in a few years. Incisions were made
and portions of the inside were found
to be punk. Tiny roots had begun
spreading inside this growth. Efforts
are now being made to remove the can
Ger.
This elm is famed for its size and
beauty. The trunk measures twenty
seven feet in circumference. and its
age has been reckoned as 100 years.
The estate was formerly the home Of
Captain John Bertram. of Salem's
famous merchants Of olden days.

lri.h Potatoes.

e irish Potatoes.
Late Irish potatoes can be planted
in July. No potato crop yields more
bountifully than the late Irish potato
crop when the months Of August and
September have q good rainfall. In
fact. one good soaking rain the first
part of September will insure a good
crop of potatoes. The fall grown po-
tatoes are much more prolific and
freer from a strong and oftentimes
acrid taste than those grown. in the
spring. A frequent practice among
potato growers and Il very injurious
one to potatoes is to put strong, fresh
stable manure in the furrow when the
potatoes are dropped before covering
them with plow. Such an application
not only produces scab on the pota-
toes. but often makes them waxy, i'm
pairing their flavor and reducing their
quality for the market and for home
consumption as we'll.

He is not s. agile as in his college
