PREVENT POTATO DISEASES

Farmers should do two things in
connection with raising potatoes this
year. They should plan to plant po-
tatoes on land which has grown none
for five OF six years. Then they should
plant absolutely clean seed on this
land. This is essential because last
year a number of potato diseases,
which live in the soil and the tu-
bers, were very commonly found al
most throug hout the state. This means
that there is large amount Of potato
sick soil and large number of diseased
tubers. To plant these tubers on in
fected soil would almost surely result
in poor crops and unhealthy tubers this
year.
After having selected piece Of land,
known not to have raised diseased po-
tatoes, the seed tubers should be care
fully selected and treated. Brown rot
can be excluded in one way: by reject
ing infected tubers. Scab and rhizoct-
QUA germs can be killed by the ordinary
formaldehyde treatment. The cost of
the treatment is very low, and there is
no question about the increased re.
turns. A careful look through some
Minnesota potato fields would convince
anyone that it pays to select seed so as
to exclude brown rot, and it must be
remembered that selection, in the case
Of brown rot, is the only means of
control and further that it must be
combined with proper handling of the
soil.-E. G. Stakman, Assistant Plant
Pathologist, University Farm, St. Paul.

THE ELEPHANT BATH

The elephants bath requires the ser
vices Of three men, and it costs about
$50. The first process consists in going
over the procurable. One hundred and
fifty pounds Of soap is used. When
the scraping and drying is completed
the elephant is well sand-papered, and
after that. rubbed all over with the
purest Indian oil, until the mouse-gray
skin is supple and glistening. This
last finishing touch is the most ex-
penive part Of the whole bath as over
$50 has to be spent on the oil alone.
An inexpensive luxury Is golden grain
belt beers, tonic and digestive aids.

PLANT LICE IN SPRING

Some trees and shrubs are loaded
every season with plant lice. On
those affected last year one is likely
to find now small, black, shiny eggs at
the ends of the twigs. These can be
seen on fruit and other trees, various
ornamental shrubs, and particularly
on the buckthorn. AS soon as the ten.
der leaves begin to unfold on this
shrub the eggs hatch, and the leaves
shortly become loaded with lice. Why
not, therefore, trim hedges and shrubs
now, and burn the trimmings, burn as
we'll all prunings Of fruit trees9 It is
very well known that plant lice in
crease at tremendous rate when
once started, therefore, each egg de-
stroyed now means the death Of hun
dreds of lice, and the consequent les

Over Ninety People Killed andI
Scores Hurt in Storm.

Damage to Property Cannot Be Est%
mated, but Will Have to Be
Computed in Millions.

New Orleans, March 15.-1ndicatfons
from late reports are that more than
ninety people were killed, scores Sc
verely injured and great property loss
sustained in the disastrous electrical
storm which swept parts of Georgia,

Eighty odd deaths have been report
cd and the total loss of life probably

lions.
Twenty-Five persons are reported to
have persisted in Georgia and dam
age to property is roughly estimated
at 100000. Calhoun, Gordon county,
Georgia, and vicinity bore the brunt
of the storm in that state, where
eleven persons are reported to have
been killed. The other fatalities in
Georgia were nine at Tucker, four att
Eaglesville, three at Charleston and
two at Columbus.
Late reports from Tennessee have
Increased the death toll in that state
to twenty-three persons.
The loss Of life in Alabama is esti-
mated at thirteen, although several
persons still are reported missing.
Five negroes were killed near New
Decatur, three persons persisted at
Calera and two each at Hokes Bluff,
0ayesville and Duke.
One death has been reported In Tex
a..
Late reports from Northern Nissis-
sippi raised the death list from seven.
% drst reported, to thirteen. These
fatalities occurred in seven counties.
Wire communication with q number
Of towns struck by the storm still IL
interrupted. No more deaths have
been reported from Louisiana.
