Both men were below the middle
weight mark when they took the mat
for the match. Turner registering 1874
pounds and Albright tipping tho scales
at 1855. Little time was lost in pre-

to their work. They were about evenly
matched and both were forced to the
utmost to prevent being pinned down.
only the cleverest kind OF bridging and
the fastest shifting OF holds several
times prevented a fall.
Albright appeared for the match in
hts bare feet, a fact which effectuaily
prevented Joe Turner from making use
of his dangerous toe hold. the hold
which has won SO many bouts for him
here. He attempted to use It several
times last night, but seemed unable

and cut into four pieces. Only per
cent of these vines were visibly af-
fected, the gaps were few, the vines
uniform and perceptibly larger and
more vigorous than the others.
To Plant the "Run Of Cellar" From
Diseased Potatoes is Disastrous
In the field Of another grower whose
seed had not been selected or treated,
40 per cent Of the vines were visibly
affected with stem rot, both Rhizoc-
tonia and "black-leg," and all were
puny. In addition to this, about 80
per cent of the cuttings had failed to
sprout at all on account of bad dry
rot infection. The whole field was
absolutely unfit for either seed pur-
poses, marketing or storage. In vary
ing degrees these lessons were repeat
ed as other fields were inspected.

Fork injury-Rurbank, II per cent
1t is true that many Of these showed
but slight degree of injury or dis
ease, but it was present.
Relation Between Bruised Potatoes
and Disease
The relation of these figures to
present conditions is very significant.
AS already mentioned, it is known
that the pOwdery dry rot fungus most
ly gains entrance through cuts and
bruises in the skin of stored potatoes.
Here we have ample evidence Of the
presence of the disease and Of in
juries to the skin of the potatoes in
great abundance. There is an intimate
relation between the two. It is a pity
that the writer may not reproduce
in this paper photographs showing
to what extent disease has gained en-
trance at the site of wounds; such
pictures would be more impressive
than words.
Object Lessons From the Field
Different portions of large field
owned by a well-known potato grower
had been subjected to varying rota-
tiOns and planted, respectively, with
selected and unsolicited seed potatoes.
These will be designated as plats l,
and g.
Successive Potatoi Planting Establishes
Disease in the Soil
Plat 1: Three years in potatoes, 1
year in oats, then potatoes in 1913.
Seed not selected. Owner has noted
RhizoctOnia stem rot in previous sea-
sons to some extent. BY actual count
20 per cent of the vines in this plat
were visibly affected with stem rot.
An examination of the roots of appar.
emily healthy vines showed many of
these also to be more or less infected.
1t would be conservative to estimate
that 4O to 80 per cent. of the vines
mad been attacked by Rhizoctonia.
There were Is per cent of missing
hills, mostly due to planting diseased
cuttings.
Lack Of Care in Selection Means Poor
Stand, With Disease
Plat 2: Ten years in alfalfa, year
in grain, then potatoes in 1913. In
this plat 9 per cent of the vines were
vlsibly affected with stem rot; about
10 to Is per cent of the hills were
missing on account of diseased cut
tings.
