value of the increased yield was the
market price for potatoes in the local
ity where the experiment was made at
the date on which the potatoes were
harvested An accurate record was
kept OF all OF the expense Of spraying,
including labor, chemicals and wear on
machinery The results of the 100 ex-
periments for the eight years showed
an annual average increase in yield OF
.3S bushels per acre. and the farmers
net profit for eight years was ST5.25
per acre.
The volunteer experiments have ex-
tended over seven years and were carried
out by farmers themselves. In the re-
port it is stated that probably in some
cases the yields, expense of spraying, and
other data, given for their experiment
are not as accurate as those given for
the farmers station experiments, but
nevertheless they are valuable They
supplement the regular business expert
ments in answering the question: Does
it pay to spray potatoes in New York?
In seven years there were 2o5 volunteer
experiments upon more than 1000 acres
of land. The average gain for the seven
years was 81 bushels per acre
Whatever may be the explanation
Whether there is always enough of the
fungus which produces late blight pres
ent to interfere with the normal growth
OF the potato and of the tubers even
though no rot may result; or whether
there is something stimulating in the
copper itself in the growth of the potato
the fact seems to be clearly demonstrated
by these experiments by the New York
Daily Kennebec journal., 1913-06-28
Preparation of Bordeaux Mixture.

While bordeaux mixture carelessly or
improperly made will be of some ad-
vantage as a protection from late blight,
the best results can only be obtained
when the mixture is properly made. 1t

Slight Attacks May Cause Damage.

In New York the Agricultural Expert
ment Station in 1910 found no evidence
OF late blight until late in the season,
September 10 In few instances it
caused some injury to the foliage In
the majority of cases it came SO late
to the foliage and its presence was not
noticed by the grower. Accordingly
many farmers were surprised to find
their crop affected with rot Others
first observed the rot after the pota-
toes had been in storage a short time.
Such instances were common. The
crop was quite generally more or less
affected with rot, and as the rot ap-
parently had not been preceded by
blight there was widespread sus-
pcion that the rot was not the
late blight rot However, observations
at the New York Agricultural Expert
ment Station indicated that nearly all
of it was caused by the late blight fun
gus, Phytofhora infestans. When
weather conditions are exceptionally
favorable to rot, as they were in New
York in the fall of 1910, very little
blight may result in large amount of
rot In those cases in which the rot
first appeared after the potatoes were
placed in storage the disease either had
not made sufficient progress to be de-
tected at digging time or else the infec
tion actually occurred at digging time.
Certainly an infection at digging time is
possible if the tops had been affected
by blight and were still partly green or
recently killed by frost when the pota-
toes were dug This is especially liable
to occur if the soil is wet at digging time
and the tubers are stored while damp.
This is another indication of the neces-
sity for and value of thorough spraying
with bordeaux mixture even when blight
is present only slightly or apparently not
Daily Kennebec journal., 1913-06-28
N/HENEVER late blight is preva-
w lent and the resulting rot of the

tubers great it is clearly demon
strated that spraying is profitable For
III such seasons thorough spraying checks
the blight and the crop of sound, mer-
chantable potatoes is greatly increased
Many potato growers, however, seem to
doubt whether spraying is OH the aver
age profitable They argue something
like this: Blight does not appear every
year; in come cases it causes but little
II any damage, yet spraying must be
done regularly as it is impossible to
foretell the appearance of blight The
result is that while spraying is profitable
i'll some cases in others it is not In this
respect it is analogous to insurance
against fire. 1t is profitable to pay for
insurance if the buildings burn, but if
the buildings do lot burn money thus
paid is lost
The New York Agricultural Expert
ment station started series of expert
ments in 1902 to extend over period of
ten years to answer the question whether
the aggregate gain will pay the expense
OF spraying year in and year out The
experiments which they conducted were
OF three kinds: First, experiments by
the station itself; second experiments
iii cooperation with farmers under the
supervision of the station; and, third
what they called farmers volunteer ex-
periments" in which the farmers did all
Of the work, made the observations and
sent the results to the station.
The station ten year experiments were
conducted in the central part of New
York state and on Long Island At
Geneva the gain from the spraying three
times ranged in nine years from 80
bushels to IoI bushels, with an average
of y. The gain per acre at Geneva due
to spraying every two weeks was from
80 to 233 bushels with an average of
% bushels. In the experiment at River
head the gain per acre from spraying
three times ranged from ten bushels to
50 bushels with an average of 2S bushels
for the nine years. The gain per acre
by spraying every two weeks in River
head ranged from IS to 90 bushels, with
all average of 81 bushels
The farmers cooperative experiments
have extended over eight years There
were 100 experiments with a total of
400 acres of potatoes. The object of
the experiment was to determine the
actual profit of spraying potatoes under
farm conditions The price used in the

SOLVES THE ~HATPlN TROUBLE
au''lotlne introduced In the city Of
London Outs Pins IN Right "
Length. '.s

It IL believed that the hstpin difa.
Guilty has been solved by a little ma
chine that is about to be introduced
in the London shops, writes a CORE
Bpondent of the New York Times. The
maohines, which are 10S inches In
length, cut of the superf,uous Dor.
lions of the pins. In future hatpina
will be, as 1t were, cut to measure.
Whenever q woman buys a new hat
she will be supplied with hatpins to
PIT, made while she waits. Woman has
Iong been blamed as callous and care.
Jess because. on the top of an omni.
bus or In the stalls Of theater at
p matinee she suddenly swings round,
just missing the man at the bach
with her set Of millinery. bayonets.
But she could not help It, Hatpins
were made only In two or three sizes
six inches or nine inches, as the case
might be, and it invariably happened
that the particular mounting at the
head which took her fancy was only
available in largely protrudine
length. ~,,.:
Now this is to be altered. The shop
per buys her hat and the saleswoman
with the aid of her guillotine, clips
the hatpin to the exact size. With
DUST twirl new point Is turned in
the place of the one beheaded; an.
other twirl and the pin is polished
ready for use, protruding only the
fraction of an inch. b. =. !.

tately many photographers start by

gives about the right space between

Poetry and tho Child.

Poetry and tho Child.
Read poetry to the child: Read easy,
simple verse, read nonsense verse.
read real poems, read sometimes such
poems az Thanatopsis, and bits OF
Paradise Lost. OF course, the child
viii not understand the thought, but
he will enjoy the sound. and he will
unconsciously learn the words. Poetry
was never meant to be read to ones
self, but always to be read aloud or
reoited. It is harder than prose. The
order of the words is often unlike our
everyday speech, and the words them
selves are frequently different. Here.
especially, children need help. II they
ind It, they learn to love poetry, and
there are few things that SO sweeten
aife az q genuine love for poetry, for
1ts beauties, and for the helpful lines
that come to ones mind in hard
places. III ,..-. 49,. -. ~

True Love.

The course Of true love never did
and never can run smooth. If It did 1t
wouldn't be true love. The single GER
tain sine qua non Of true love Is that
It shall not run smooth. For such Is
the constitution of human beings.
When people set out to be friendly
and congenial they can succeed only
by keeping up gentle hostility. Con.
slider the average evening call. How
tiresome it is until some one starts an
argument or q game Of cards Is pro,
posed. That accounts for the popu.
larity of games. They furnish a sham
and innocuous hostility without which
society with ones fellows is deadly.
Men and women can be happy to-
gether for days at time II they are
contending at golf. at tennis, at cards
or at other games. #a#~ e. =.

/. Strange. indeedl

Bishop Rowe, now OF South Dakota,
was upon q certain occasion Obliged
70 start out afoot to reach a church In
IN eastern state. The August day
was close and hot and the road was
dusty, 50 that after half an hours pc
destrianism the reverend gentleman
was we'll pleased when man drew
along in spring wagon and offered
lift. His reverence wore no clerical
garb and the state Of his apparel after
the tramping gave small Indication Of
his calling.
. The team logged into q deep wood.
The churchman deemed the time and
the place at for the broaching Of spir.
dual things. Accordingly he opened
the subject rather abruptly, he con-
fesses.
Young man., he demanded solemn
", "are you prepared to die?"
do you know" the bishop limo
Gently explained afterward, "the fel-
low gave whoop, dropped the reins,
jumped OF the seat, and, before I
could say wort he had gone crash
ing through the woods! Now. why
do you suppose he did that?'
