POTATO DISEASES FEARED.

Although homegrown seed potatoes
are selling at high prices, foreign
grown potatoes should not be substi-
tuted for them. The following state
ment on the danger Of the American
potato crop from the use of imported
seed potatoes is issued by the secre-
tary of agriculture:
Europe has several potato dis
eases not now known to exist In this
country, which, If introduced, might
be the means Of greatly reducing our
annual yield Of potatoes. Should
these diseases become prevalent
throughout the United States. the cost
of producing future crops might be
very greatly increased.
DO not, theregore, under any cir
cumstances use foreign-grown pota-
toes for seed, either in the north or in
the south. The sorts which are COM
ing to this country at the present
time are late sorts and are not
adapted to planting in the south. where
early potatoes are the main crop,
neither are they adapted to planting
in the north, for they will not pro-
duce satisfactory crop.
They are not adapted to our soils
or to our climate, and will not yield
profitable crops; but the danger of
introducing diseases not now present
is sufficient reason for refusing to
plant them"

FRIENDS ALL
WANT IT.

Mrs. d. B. Simmons of Slick, Ark,
writes: "I tried one bottle of Ford's Hair
Pomade and found it to be the best prep
aration 1 have ever used. 1t stopped
my hair from falling out and breaking
off and my hair is now as soft as it can
be and is longer than it has been for
long time. My friends all want it.
Ford's Hair Pomade. the old. reliable
dressing for stubborn, curly hair makes
harsh hair more pliable, glossy and
easy to comb. Try it and Ford's Royal
White Skin Lotion, for the complexion.
For sale by druggists, accept no other,

Current Notes

The current issue of the Southern
Workman published by the Hampton
Institute Press) presents a broadside
on the subject of rural school super
vision in Virginia and Alabama-a
subject which is just now occupying
large share of the attention of south
ern educators. 1t is believed that the
supervising Industrial teacher. by re-
lating school instruction to communi-
ty life, is solving the problem of edu-
cation in country schools. Exhibits
OF the work Of these schools are
among the illustrations in an account
OF the Hampton farmers conference.
This number contains also an inter
esting description and classification of
negro folk songs by an educated ne
gro and an appreciation of them by
the ablest of critics, Walter Damrosch.
Some slave superstitions and one of
the Aunt Hannah stories add also to
the wealth of folklore in this maya
zine. A timely and enlightening illus
trated article is by DIR. Walter G.
Roe, the veteran missionary among
the Indians. on the continued and
needless captivity of the Apache pris-
oners Of war at Fort Sill. Editorials

iPgs and show the significance OF DR..

The international conference on the

week and so largely attended by infiu-
ential and representative people from
all parts of the world, should be pro-
ductive of great and lasting good, by
bringing together people Of like race
and by interchange of thought on the
same lines of ethical, chronological and
msterial development, and by giving
those people an object lesson in the
work they are interested in as it is
carried on at the Tuskegee institute.
Such conferences are always produc-
tive of good. even in rare cases where
they seem for one reason or another
not to be. Such work as is being
done at Tuskegee institute could well
supplement in large or small measure

Says the Texas Freeman: THE
Freeman sees no wrong, morally or
otherwise, IN Christians attending
the circus where 1t is impossible to
see anywhere else the curiosities,
birds, fowls and animals of which we
read in natural history, especially so
in places like Houston, where there
is no museum maintained or kept.
Nor does 1t see any necessity for the
Freeman. which is secular through
and through and all around, cutting
out advertisements which are in
every way lawful, legitimate and legal.
The Freeman stands pat on these is
sues, the stand taken being the sum-
mum totum of It's position"
What harm can come to Christian
by attending a circus? In these en-
lightened days. people go to circuses
and theaters without the least harm
attending, while on the other hand
prove instructive and elevating. Our
Freeman brother is right on these is
sues.-Tuskegee Student.
