PREVENT DISEASE OF POTATO
Proper Storage VIII Control Fussrluni
or Dry-Rot--cellars Should
BE Dry and Cool.
fnr R. q. wEArHERsroNE.l

(Py r.. G.. WEATHERSTCNE
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the proper storage Of po.
tatoeH. Not alone should this empha.
sis be placed because proper storage
controls the Fusarium or dry-rot and
other diseases. but because the vital
fly Of the seed Is such as important
factor in potato production that II
should never be overlooked. There is,
in the opinion OF the writer, no other
single factor so important TO the po-
tato industry. Proper storage pre-
vents the progress OF the disease as
dry-rot Spraying will not control
the disease.
Storage litter and sick seed should
not be allowed to reach the manure
pile, as this will be a sure method OF
distributing the disease and injecting
the fields.
A seed plot on noninfected soil
planted with carefully selected healthy
seed will offer a means Of getting a
sound seed supply.
Whenever potatoes are placed In q
warm, damp storage they go TO
pieces; the fungus often showing on
the surface as patches OF a white,
moldy growth. In damp storage, bac
terra early become associated with
the Fusarium disease. causing wet,
soft rots. Storage cellars should be
kept cool. dry. and well drained
Burying lpitting) in the field is more
satisfactory than most cellar storage
for seed purposes.

Sweet milk, skim milk, sour skim
milk and buttermilk are Of practically
equal value when fed in the proper
ton of two and one-half to three
pounds of milk to one pound of shelled
corn. A bushel Of shell corn when
fed with water produced an average
Of 11.9 pounds tof pork. but when fed
with 15S pounds Of milk the average
weight Of pork produced in the same
length Of time was 177 pounds. While
this is no indication Of the value Of
milk when fed alone. it seems to show
that when fed with shelled corn, 1853
pounds Of skim milk Of little or no
market value on the average farm,
produced 5.S pounds Of pork worth
about 40 cents at last years prices.

The grapevine root-borer has been
recognized as an enemy Of the grape
in the United States for more than
fifty years. It is quite widely dis
tributed. having been observed as far
north and west as Minnesota and
Missouri. and south and east through
Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and
North Carolina.
Several writer's upon economic ento-
mology have given brief accounts OF
this insect, but 1t has not often at
tracted special attention, and has
scarcely been accorded notice in sew
eral Of the papers published relating
to the insect enemies of the grape in
the eastern states. It is capable, how
ever, of doing serious damage to
grapevines and the slight attention
which it has received in the past is
no doubt due in a measure to obscure

CULTURE or THE BLUEBERRY

(By R. Q. wEArHERsroNp.l .

CBy r. @. wEATHERSTONE.) r
Blueberries thrive in acid soils and
there is a large amount Of naturally
acids lands in the east United States
that are fit for nothing else on which
blueberries could be raised profitably.
There are two methods of propa-
eating the blueberry plant. The first.
which is suited to upland soils, 10 to
set the plants in trenches or separate
holes in well-rotted peat about a foot
deep and mulch the surface well with
leaves or clean sand.
Give plenty of room for the roots.
The soil should afford good drainage
as the ideal condition Of the peat
about the roots is one of continued
moisture during The growing season.
The second method of field culture
is to set the plants in peat bog after
it has been drained. turfed and deeply
mulched with sand just as for cram
berry culture, except that no provision
need be made for rapid flooding Of the
bog for winter. The ground water of
the bog might be kept a little lower
than is usual with cranberries.
There is great difference between
the genuine blueberry and its counter
feit-the huckleberry The blueberry
is plump, large and its seeds are so
small as to be almost unnoticed The
huckleberry's seed is surrounded with
bony covering like a minute peat
pit which crackles between the teeth,

Coughing does not necessarily mean
tuberculosis in cattle. Cattle cough
from many different causes, but a
chronic cough in this class of stock
always gives a reasonable suspicion Of
tuberculosis. where there is no other
cause apparent.
tuberculosis in cattle cannot always
be detected by their physical, condi-
ton. A diseased animal may be very
fat or very thin. Tuberculin is the
only reliable means we have for de-
