JEWISH LIFE IN MIDDLE
AGES" THEME OF LECTURER

Jewish Life in the Middle Ages
was the topic of a lecture delivered
by DR.. Israel Abrahams, reader in
rabinical and Falmudic literature at
Cambridge University, England, be-
fore large audience last night in
the Temple B'nai Jeshurun, in Wash

occurs when the fungus has util-

to a brownish black soft mass,
giving off very unpleasant,

known 10 cause the spread OF the
disease over a district with D.
mile radius.
Too much emphasis can not be
laid on the danger of planting
seed taken from areas known TO be
infected. The danger would be
lessened if tubers could be sorted
into two lots-one diseased and
one not diseased. 1t is pract-
ically impossible to do this, as
slightly infected tubers can not
be detected even by the most
rigid inspection. For this reason
various countries have enacted
laws prohibiting the importation
of any potatoes from infected
areas. The United States also
should have the power (Which II
does not have now of rejecting
potatoes from infected districts
before the disease makes it's en-
trance and becomes established
here.
When the disease once enters a
district it is frequently spread to
adjoining areas through the use
of infected manure. Consequently
diseased tubers should never be
fed to stock unless boiled, as the
sporangia pass unharmed through
the animal.
Poultry and pigs which are all
lowed to roam over infected areas
are another means by which the

other countries combined.
Since this country has no legis-
lation which can in any way pro-
hibit the importation OF infected
potatoes, seed which Canada and
other foreign countries will not
accept can be shipped at will into
the United States. On account Of
our nearness and lack of quaran-
tine regulations there is no
question but that Newfoundland
will ship her potatoes here which
are now refused in Canada. Some
legislation in regard to the wart
disease should be enacted where
by the Secretary of Agriculture
would have absolute control of
all importations of potatoes.

tack the eyes first appear
grayish. then turn brown, and
finally black, while in a healthy
tuber they are whitish or pur-
plish in color. 1t is very difficult
if not impossible, to ascertain the
presence of the disease in this
stage. Such potatoes, when used
as seed, prove to be the source
OF new infections wherever
planted. 1t is due to this failure
10 recognize the disease in it's
early stages that potato wart
has spread with such rapidity.
In more advanced stages the
disease is very apparent. One

ing some little distance if moisture
is present. If they come in con-
tact with the eye OF the
potato they work their way into
the delicate tissue in probably
much the same way as does the
organism which causes the club
root of cabbage. The fungus then
passes from one cell to another,
stimulating the surrounding cells
to rapid growth and division,
which results in the warty pro-
tuberances on the tuber. Late III
the summer and in the fall before
harvest time the thicker walled
resting sporangia are formed and
serve the purpose Of carrying
the fungus over the winter to in
feet the crop Of next year. These
sporangia may retain thell
vitality in the soil for eight years
thus making starving out te-
dious process when field once
becomes infected.

Some farmers in the colder
sections of the country use the
argument that they are afraid to

will freeze. No one should let
this keep him from building a
silo. Unless the silo is poorly con-
constructed, the silage will not
freeze except around the edges
and the silage that does freeze
is just as good as that which
does not. 1t is only necessary TO

Washington D.C.-Within the past
few years a very serious European
plant disease has been brought to
North America upon imported
plant material. This disease is oil
more than ordinary economic I'M
S,ortance to us as it is practically
certain TO become one OF the
worst enemies OF the potato
wherever il occurs. 1t is es-
pecially serious in that its stages
OF development are such that they
can hardly be detected by IN
spection. The fact that the
presence OF this disease can not
be observed by inspectors ex-
cept in it's most evident stages
of development are such that they
necessary some national quaran-
tine power over plant material
similar to that now in force for
animals.
Potatoes rank as one OF the
most important 1arm products IN
this country. 1t has been esti-
mated that for the year 1910 the
production was 32s,7S7OOO bushels.
Only five other farm crops are
valued above this.
Consequently, much alarm Is
felt over the probable introduc-
ton of the potato wart. lhls
is a comparatively new disease,
which was discovered on potatoes
in Germany and Upper Hungary
16 years ago. Since that time II
has spread with great rapidlty
and threatens to become one OF
and threatens to become one ol
culture. 1t has not yet beer
brought into the United States SC
far as known, but has already
crossed the Atlantic and become
established in Newfoundland
where it was discovered by Dr
r. Gussow, Dominion Botanist
The close proximity of the disease
to the United States makes j
imperative that steps should h'
taken to guard against its i'm
portation.
Description OF The Wart Disease

Some mixers have in the COW
stable, behind the cows, pegs on
which to hang the milk pals that
are too full of milk to prevent
their being further used at that
milking. a man fills pail, hangs
it on a hook, gets another pail
and proceeds to milk another
COW. By the time the
milking is completed, several
pals have been hanging on the
pegs for fifteen minutes to half
an hour. In addition, the empty
pals hung on the same peg be-
fore they were taken down for
milking and just as readily
gathered germs as when they had
the milk in them.
So far as the mixer can see
there is no reason why this
practice is a bad one. whe pals
look clean when they are taken
down from the pegs and the
milk in the pals that have beer
hanging there look as clean as
any other milk. The pals are
hung too high up to catch any
visible dirt. The air is full oi
germ life and in the majority o.
stables the germs are not th'
kind that produce good flavors il
dairy products. The milk shoult
be removed from the stables a
fast as MIXED, taken directl,
to the separator and separated
through a clean separator.

Even vet we occasionally hear
some nearsighted individual claim
that the butter business is
going to be overdone. This
was a common claim
several years ago. They used to
tell us that it was crime TO
encourage farmers to buy more
cows. They told us that the
creamery business would soon be
overdone and the farmers would
have cows and dairy equipment
on their hands. They told us
that we would soon make more
butter than the people of the
United States could use and that
we couldn't compete with other
butter in foreign markets.

cries and increasing the output
Of creamery butter every year

to another. Sporangia may also be
carried on mems boots and tools
which have not been thoroughly
cleaned on coming from infected
land.
Control OF The Wart Disease.
Extensive experiments have |
been conducted in England with |
various fungicides and variety |
tests of potatoes. There seems
to be a consensus of opinion that
fungicides are not efficacious in
controlling the disease. Numerous
chemicals have been used on the
soil with unsatisfactory results
Experiments were also conducted
by sprinkling the sets before
planting with chemicals with
equally unsatisfactory results.
At present crop rotation is the
best method of dealing with the
disease. Unlike late-blight, which
is checked some years by climatic
conditions, the wart disease
when once in the soil grows worse
each year on land that is planted
to potatoes Since the fungus has
been know. to live in the soil for
eight years, potatoes should not
be painted in that soil during that
period Fortunately, so far as
known the fungus attacks no
other crop.
A vigorous effort should be
made, if found in the United
States. to eradicate the trouble.
All infected tubers should be
boiled or burned, and no more
potatoes should be planted on that
field for eight years. Stock should
not be allowed to run over in
fected areas, and no part of any
lot containing diseased potatoes
should be used for seed purposes

We are in receipt of letter
from a reader inquiring about
concrete floors for dairy barns.
They are all right except that
the floor in the stalls should be
made Of lumber. Cement is too
hard, too cold and too damp. The
floor in the stall may extend
TO within a foot or foot and a
half from the drain so the cows
hind feet are on the cement
when standing. This is not OBJ
iectionable. The plank flooring in
the stalls may be laid on top 'f
the cement or imbedded in the
cement il the planks are not to
extend clear to the drains.
Several thicknesses of tar
paper under the planks are
advisable, or what is still better
is to spread heavy coating of
thice tar on top OF fhe cement
before laying the planks. A
layer Of tar underneath the top
layer Of cement for the rest OF
the floor is a good thing too.
The tar should be put on at
least Ia of an inch thick. This
prevents the moisture from 60
! ing either way. Cement floors
are damp because the moisture is
being continually thrown up from
below. The tar, of course, is q
non-conductor Of water and al
inch and half or two inches OF
cement on top of the tar soor

Many farmers grow a field of
rape for pasturing the stock in
the late fall months. 1t makes
very good feed but the dairy
cattle should not be allowed to
eat it at all hours of the day.
1t has very bad influence on
the flavor of the milk and cream.
There is a way of feeding it to
the dairy COWS without harm. The
COWS should be turned into the
rape pasture during the forenoon
and should be taken out not later
than noon. The rape flavor will
then pass out of the cows sys-
