Commercial Club
EntertainS

The outgoing and incoming
commissioners were dined and
wined at the local club rooms Sat
urday night. About fifty citizens
gathered round the festive board
to do homage to the city officers
and incidentally take on few of
the comforts for the inner man, so
bounteously provided by the pop
ular restaurant man. Spencer
Field The love feast was slowly
masticated to the tuneful harmony
OF Honey Lou and similar mus
zeal selections sung and played by
Mobrldge fine talent. After the
banquet when cigars were lighted,
Toastmaster Stevens in a few
choice words welcomed the assem-.
bled company in behalf of the club
Senator Harris was then called on
to tell how things were done at
Pierre and he reviewed the work
OF last winter and his part of it in
particular. He stated concisely
the fight that he and Representa-
tive Comstack had in securing
benefits for this part of the state.
He also explained why he opposed
the new tax system. Mayor Good
man was next called upon and
gave a short synopsis of what the
city government had done. Rod
erlck Weir, alias Little Tim"
gave the inside of city politics from
the standpoint of the Boss
Representative Comstock spoke of
the doings of the legislature and
his stand on several questions.
Z. Z. Morrison thanked the out
going city officers in behalf OF the
Commercial club for their splendid
and economical administration
Thos. j. Holt was called upon to
tell why newspapers gave away
pianos. but the toastmaster had
him hors de- combat on the subject
and he Steered into safer waters
and gave his views of the city's
greatness. President of the Com
mercial club, w. +. Mailand,
closed the speeches of the local
citizens with a short talk. The
toastmaster introduced Professor
Hanson, world known alfalfa ex-
pert, and brought out some points
of the great forage which we doubt
if even the Professor was aware of.
Professor Hanson responded and
told of his aims with alfalfa and
what it would do for this section
OF the country. He stated that
owing to the peculiar climate of
this part of the country and the
high altitude that it was destined
to furnish the finest alfalfa seed
for the rest of the United States
as the conditions were ideal for
seed raising. In conclusion DR..
Stevens thanked the secretary for
providing the entertainment to the
guests. 1t was a very successful
gathering and indorses our con.
tention that you can get a man to
talk when he has full stomach
and an after dinner cigar lighted.

which the city interests are freely
discussed will take place in the

MONEY In WELL DRILLING.

There is hardly a community in the
Pacific Northwest but what can find
use to advantage for a well-drilling
outfit. Hardly day goes by but what
items are found in the local press tell
ing of deaths from typhoid fever
which we all know comes from filthy
drinking water. While the old fash
toned we'll has been subject for
sentiment from the days of our child
hood, at the same time it has taken
some of our strongest and best men
from the rural communiti lies as we'll as
thousands of children while the par
ents have stood mutely by, little
aware that the cause was at the back
door and easily remedied.
Thanks to broader dissemination
of literature on the subject of the
cause of typhoid fever the dread dis
ease is rapidly coming under control
and driven wells are among the most
pronounced assistants along this
line. Any farmer with a little me-
chanical ingenuity can run a well
drilling outfit and one good we'll will
call for others. These remarks are

storage time, it should be remembered,
employed in this experiment is longer
than would ordinarily be employed by
the average farmer and this gave the
treatments a severe test. Under or
binary farm conditions the develop
ment of the formalin vapors is not
easily secured, and therefore we
would particularly recommend the
use of the formalin dip as the easiest
method to employ and one that should
give excellent results in practice.

DRY ROT OF THE IRISH POTATO
TUBER.

The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin 134, on ga
Dry Rot of the Irish Potato Tuber. 3"
For several years the department OF
Agricultural Botany has been engaged
in study of Irish potato diseases IN
Nebraska. Among these the dry rot
of the tuber is one of the most i'm
portant. Buyers and commission
men have reported losses, during
storage, of from 20 to 60 per cent due
to this dry rot. In fact the most I'M
portant feature of this dry rot is the
fact that it forces the immediate sale
of the crop as soon as dug. INKS
tends to demoralize the market and
places the grower at the mercy OF the
buyers since he himself is afraid to
store his crop and wait for better
prices.
SYMPTOMS.
The dry rot here described is a
strict tuber rot affecting mature tub
ers only. Neither the stems nor the
young tubers are ordinarily In the
least affected, Natural infection is
known to occur solely thru wounds
produced in the process of digging
or subsequent handling. In many
cases this rot secured foothold thru
wounds procured by scab- producing
animals of certain sorts and perhaps
even thru scab spots due to fungus
parasitism tho the latter method is
certainly very rare if we may judge
from the laboratory experiments.
The rotting is rather slow, and in
general within four to six weeks from
one-third to three -fourths of the
tuber is destroyed. The epidermis of
the rotted portion becomes slightly
wrinkled and usually has character
istic blush color. On account of
the rapid destruction of the underly-
ing tissues the surface over these
areas soon becomes distinctly de-
pressed.
The rot may make it's appearance
at any point on the surface of the
tuber, the more commonly perhaps
at the bud end of the tuber. There
is no watery degeneration of the tuber
unless other organisms gain entrance,
so that this is in fact dry rot.
CAUSE.
Numerous incubation experiments
have shown that this dry rot is caused
by parasitic fungus, not previously
described, for which we have proposed
the name Fusarium TuberiVOrum.
At the same time it has also been
demonstrated that this dry rot fungus
does not cause the injury to the leaves
and stems often referred to as
"blight" or "wilt.'' In other words
the present dry rot of the tuber is
not connected in any manner with
diseased conditions of other parts OF
the plant.

Two Big Savings

The No Rim Cut tire - which
we control revolutionized condi-
tons.
About one in four of all old
type tires were wrecked by rim
cut ruin. The No-Rim- tire
wiped out that lc completely.
Then THE oversize we gave this
tire added 10 per cent to the air
capacity. And that, with the aver
age car, adds rs per cent to the
tire mileage.
These two features alone vastly
altered the cost Of tire upkeep.

The Meters Tell

Bear in mind that meters are
now used on countless cars. Men
know which tire is best.
The time is past when users
depend on makers claims.
They measure mileage, watch
their tire upkeep. And they tell
their results to others.

final verdict of the legions of men
who have used them.
You can see the No-Rim- Cut
feature the oversize feature.
But the main fact lies in their
records.

And our demand from users is
twice as large as last year.

METHODS OF CONTROL.

Extensive experiments have been
conducted to learn if any treatment
might be applied before the potatoes
we're stored that would reduce the
amount of this rotting.
These experiments have clearly
demonstrated that dry rot may be held
in check thru treatment of the tubers
before being placed in the storage
cellars. For this purpose the best
results were secured thru the use OF
either formalin dip, formalin vapor,
or the hme-sulfur wash. Not only
did the tubers in these lots show
very small percentage of dry rot. but
they were in excellent condition other
