HOW TO SAVE POTATOES.
Spraying For Early Blight Has Been
Found Profitable.

Found Profitable.
Early potato blight is liable to at
tack the potato crop at any time from
June until the crop Is ripe, but is most
seriously destructive in July and An
gust 1t attacks the foliage. Professor
Kohler of the Minnesota experiment
station doubts If it will be profitable
to spray early paintings of early varie-
ties. If. however. others desire to do
so he advises spraying when plants
are small and a continuance of the
treatment every ten days until at least
10 per cent of the leaf surface is dying
when it will be useless to spray longer
In rainy weather spraying should be
more frequent. Twenty-Five to thirty
five gallons of bordeaux per acre Will
be required for trea tment when the
plants are small. and as they advance
in growth the amount will need increas-
ing to fifty. sixty or seventy-five gall
Ions per acre.
Spraying for early blight on late va
rieties of the Rural New Yorker type
of potatoes has proved profitable at the
Minnesota station. Spraying late va
rieties of the Rural New Yorker type
may be delayed until the earliest plant
ing of early varieties in the locality
shows signs of the presence of the dis
ease, when spraying should be immedi-
ately applied at the rate of sixty to
seventy-five gallons of bordeaux per
acre, followed with spraying of an
equal amount every ten days in good
weather. In rainy weather spray more
frequently.

VOTING STATISTICS

An idea of the growth of immigra-
ton to the United States is had from
a glance at census statistics which
show that while the foreign born male
voters are in the minority as a whole,
they have a majority in the cities. The
men of voting age in the United States
number about 27,0OO,O0O. The number
of voters in the United States in 1910
constituted 29.4 per cent of the en-
tire population of the country. The
100000 males of voting age in the
cities of 25, 900 or more inhabitants rep
resent almost one-third of the total
number of males of voting age in the
country.

 One young lady was so unfortunate as to drop the box containing her lunch from the car on the trip to the beach. She was not permitted to go dinnerless, however, and on the fs- tuEn trip the keen eye of the owner of the missing lunch detected 1t near the track in the vicinity of Shewville. The motornan obligingly stopped the car and the dainty viands were recov- evered.
