living dormant upon the vines for
some time. 1t has been observed re-
peatedly that those growers who are
successful in spraying are men who
have taken the pains to study into
the simple facts just mentioned upon
the development of this disease The
principle involved then in successful
potato spraying is as follows
During the rapid development of
the disease, the mass of thread-like
mycelium is growing very rapidly in
and upon the leaf. The minute spore-
like bodies (see Fig. q are being pro-
duced on the surface of the black
spots already noted. These spores,
when they light on the leaf, terminate
and grow, causing another black spot
where the cells of the leaf are de-
stroyed During favorable weather
conditions, and very often when the
vines are weakened by injury, this
multiplication of the fungus progress
es at an inconceivably rapid rate, and
is wholly imperceptible to the naked
eye. When the Bordeaux mixture, or

fungus are only the evidence of de-
stroyed tissue, resulting from the
breaking down of the plant cells by
the parasitic fungus plant. The fungus
plant on the potato vine is as de-
pendent upon weather conditions and
food supply for development as is the
potato vine upon which it feeds and
lives.
1t will now be understood why some
potato growers associate the rapid de-
velopment of this disease with the re-
currence of certain weather condi-
tons. The weather is made the cause
of the disease, although no account
is taken of the presence of the little
fungus plant which may have been

DRY, where the claims on the Rosebud
reservation are being awarded to the
lucky persons who drew good numbers
in the land lottery last fall. There
was no response.
Back Of this incident lies little
tragedy. w. H. Krebs of Omaha, who
held this number died soon after the
drawing last October. His widow was
given permission to file for the land,
which is estimated to be worth not
less than $4,000. She fully expected to
do so, but last week her baby lay at
the point of death. She could not

Disking Land.-Few men realize the
great advantage to be secured in disk
ing land before breaking for corn.
Where corn is to follow corn
weighted disk harrow can be used, not
only for a stalk cutter, but for pull
verizer of the surface and the saving
of the humus Of the corn stalk, which
is lost where they are burned, to-
gether with the greater ease with
which theoland can be broken make
such method Of handling very desir-
able. One Of the greatest benefits,
however, comes from the much better
connection that is made between the
bottom of the furrow and the turned
soil where the layer that is turned
under is pulverized instead of hard
and cloddy. as is too often the case.

upon late potatoes usually comes be-
tween the dates of August is and
September 20. Therefore, it is <aces-
sary to guard against the claims Of
some men that special dust machines,
which are adaptable to applying poi
sons, may also be used in combina.
ton with dust sprays for the blight
However, the same machine some
times can be used for both purposes.
The station has had excellent results
from combining the arsenates used
against the beetles with a weak Bor-
deauX mixture. When this combina-
ton is put on early in the season, care
should be taken to keep the pressure
down so that the material is not
wasted. The weak Bordeaux mixture
used prevents any injuries which
might result from some mistake in
mixing the arsenic compounds. In
midsummer the Bordeaux mixture
would also have some fungicidal value.
The station has applied with success
the different poisons in combination
with lime water, which also prevents
injuries from free acid in the poison.
It must be remembered that to sue
cessfuly control the beetles, the poi
son must be applied Immediately or
soon after the eggs hatch. For this
reason, when potatoes are raised on a
large scale, it Is necessary to have
machinery which covers a wide area
in days time. Weak Bordeaux mix
ture is made by combining four
pounds of copper sulphate with eight
pounds of lime to 100 gallons of water
containing the poison. This weak
Bordeaux mixture should be made in
the same manner as the standard Bor-
deaux mixture.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York. Jan. 12.-Selling pressure
continued in evidence in stock transac,
tons today. but it was in spotty and
fitful way There was no such disturb
ing special factor as the break in the
Fries yesterday and the slump in othe,
stocks at various times last week. More
over, h. III. Hartman appeared at his
office for the first time since before the
Christmas holidays and thereby put an
end to the occupation of bearish opera
tors who had been discriminating rumors
of his serious illness in efforts to depress
prices. The agreement of the Turkish
government to accept the offer made by
Austro- Hungary for an indemnity for the
annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
was accepted as a definite removal OF
one deep-seated cause of unsettlement
in foreign stock markets.
With these changes in conditions which
had been aggravating the weakness in
stocks the bear element became more
cautious. The belief that the bear party
was becoming unduly numerous and
selling campaign and putting itself in a
Vulnerable position for turn on them
by the bulls added to this disposition Of
reserve. The result was seen in the de,
crease in. the activity of the market and
the disposition to take stocks at con-
cessions to cover shorts The buying at
concessions was obvious although opln-
ion varied as to the proportion due to
short covering and to renewal of accu-
