LATE BLIGHT OF POTATOES
Expert Plant Pathologist Of Oregon
Agricultural College Gives Advice
Of Immediate Value.

Since a large part of the potato
crop Of the western part of Oregon
was destroyed by late blight, the fol-
lowing advice from F. D. Bailey, ex-
pert plant pathologist at the Oregon
Agricultural College, is Of immediate
value
There is no practical seed treat
inent for the control Of this fungus
pest" says Mr. Bailey Growers
must select the seed with care SO that
fotting or discolored potatoes are not
used, Even then many tubers will be
planted carrying the blight fungus in
Il dormant condition, ready to start
infection on tops in moist, warm
weather, The most that can be hoped
ar Is to use seed that will germinats
we'll. If conditions are favorable for
blight later it will be necessary to
spray with Bordeaux mixture, but
one should not wait until the fungus
has established itself in a field be-
tore spraying.
THE foliage should be kept we'll
covered from the time the blossoms
open, so that the spores scattered by
air currents will be killed as soon as
they fall on the leaves. Three applica9
tlons at intervals Of about two
weeks generally have proved suffi.
cient except in case Of prolonged
warm, moist weather. For the first
application the 4-4-50 strength Bor-
ieaux mixture should be used and for
subsequent applications the $3.50
mixture.
Il would not wish to argue against
seed treatment as a general prac-
tice, however, for we have several
other diseases which can be con-
trolled largely in this way. Formalin
should be used, one pint to thirty
gallons Of water, and the potatoes
soaked In 1t in sacks or crates for
TWO hours before cutting, and then
spread to dry"

HOW TO MAKE FARMING PAY
English Farmers, Paying Higher Rent
Than American Tenants, Live
Better Than Latter

English farmers have learned that
brains are more important than fer
tilizers in farming. 1t is a proven
fact that English farmers who pay a
great deal higher rent than American
tenants do, live as we'll or better than
the latter. The average English ten
ant farmer has a cash capital to work
on which would be throught suffi-
Client by most American tenant farm
ers to buy good farm. With 80
tcres or even less, an English farmer
will often employ from two to five
men and do no work mself-merely
bossing the job. He spends most of
his time studying the market, buying
live stock and selling the prod7cts of
his farm. He uses his brain and
therefore has money to hire muscle.

VALLEY Is PROSPEROUS.

Have you stopped to consider how
the waters of the Colorado river were
being utilized to develop one of the
richest and greatest agricultural dis
tricts in the world and in what
marvelously short time this result
is being accomplished?
There isnOw under irrigation and
susceptible OF a state Of intense culti
walton, more than half million acres
of as fertile land as is to be foun,
in all the world here in the Colorado
river valley. an empire that is yield
ing over fifty million dollars worth OF
products annually.
The change required in turning
this vast area from a desert waste
into a veritable garden, has all been
brought about within the past ten
years. Five more years will see al
least a quarter of million acres
more of as equally rich land brought
under irrigation making close to a
million of acres in all
People are prOspering here as no
where else, and why shouldn't they?
The sol! is as fertile as the valley of
The Nile; water is plentiful and can
lie supplied to the land Whenever
needed the climate is as perfect as
famed Italy; SO that food products
can be successfully grown the year
round. and close To enc of the best
markets i'll the world. And great in
deed is the inVigorating healthg Civ
ing air that it's inhabitants breathe.
The soil of the Colorado river val
ley is imbued with exceptional fertil-
ity 1t is a river deposit of fine tex
ture, easily worked, of great depth,
and capable of producing crops of
grain and cotton unequaled in any
land. There is abundant water,
just the right kind for irrigation. 1t
is warm, giving YigOr to the growing
crops and carries an excessive
amount of silt always keeping the
soil as it is today, the most fertile
and productive in the world.

.KINCAlD SURVEY

The suit of the Commonwealth ct

and others; involving the old Kin
caid $4,000 acre survey, on the
waters Of Richland and Goose
Greeks, in Knox County, was tried
before Judge Sampson in the Knox
Circuit Court this week by a jury .
and a verdict rendered in favor OF
the Commonwealth of Kentucky,
FORGETTING all the title, which the de-
iendants, Buffum, Johnson and
their associates claimed in that
boundary, consisting Of 5000 acres
OF land and 10000 acres OF mineral
rights. 1t is proposed by the At
torneys for the defendant to carry
the case to the Court of Appeals,
and this, no doubt. will be done.
Ii will certainly be Ood'senn 10

County to have this title forfeited
to the State so that the citizens
who own the land rightfully and
who reside upon it may have a

settle once for all this long drawn
out litigation over the lands in this
part OF our County. II the action
of the Circuit Court is sustained by

should paw to the State the small

CARE OF THE TEETH
interesting Article Prepar-
ed on this Subject by
DR.. Faulkner

Within the last few years it has
been realized among the medical as
well as the dental profession, the
importance of the care OF children's
teeth and the result il has on the
future health of the child. 1t is
safe to say that between the ages OF
4 and years is the most impor
ant period for the care of the teeth,
as the formation and position of the
second or permanent teeth depends
entirely upon the care given the
temporary or baby teeth. If the
baby tooth be removed too early or
too late il will almost invariably
cause an irregularity of the perman.
ent set, which prevents them from
coming together as nature intended
they should, thus causing poor mas
tication width in turn brings on
poor health and all the evils at
tending indigestion. The six-year
molar is regarded as the most i'm
portant tooth in the permanent fsei
as it forms, what is known to the
dental profession as the keystone
10 the arch. Around this one tooth
all the remainder are placed and
with proper care always placed
naturally. Unfortunately I h is
tooth is often mistaken for a baby
tooth and allowed to decay and
finally is lost. This loss usually
causes the remaining teeth to drift
out Of line producing an irregularity
which is often seen.
Its to be hoped that Knox
County will follow the example of
other counties in our State where
the need of the simple rule of brush
ing the teeth is so successfully car

NO NEED or MONEY

In a recent article comment
ing on the efforts of various or
CARNATIONS to secure free publi-
city, an Illinois editor made the
statement that it took money to
run a newspaper. Many other
editors are laboriug under SIM
liar delusion, and for the bene-
tit of this class, II onas w. Mayo
publisher of the Record, st.
Anne, H., pens the following:
1t takes money 10 run u news
paper? What an eNaggeration.
What a whopper. 1t doesn't
take any money to run news
paper. 1t can run without money
Ii is not a business venture. 1t
is a cbarita bic institution, beg
ging concern. a highway robber.
The newspaper is a child Of the
air. a creature of a dream. 1t
can go on and on and on, when
any other concern would be in
the hands of the receiver and
wound up with cobweEs in the
windows.
1T takes wind to run news
paper: it takes gall TO run a
newspaper. 1t takes Scintillat-
ing, acrobatic Imagination, half
a dozen white shirts and a rail-
road pass to run a newspaper
But money, heavens to Betsey
and six hands around, whoever
needed money to conduct anews.
paper? Kind words are the me
dunn of exchange that do the
business for the editor-klnd
words and church social tickets
When you see an editor with
money, watch him. He'll be
payin his bills and disgracing
his profession. Never z We
money to an editor. Make him
trade it out. He likes swap.
Then when you die, after you
have stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his
little Jim Crow paper, be sure
that you have your wife send in
for three extra copie, by one of
your weeping children, and when
she reads the generous and
touching notice about you, fore
warn her to neglect to send the
editor fifteen cents. 1t would
overwhelm him. Money is
corrupting thing. The editor
knows it, and what he wants is
your heartfelt thanks; then he
can thank the printers and they
can thank the grocers. Give
your job work to travelling man,
and then ask for half rates for
church notices. Get your lodge
letter heads and stationary
printed cut of town and then
flood the editor with beautiful
thoughts in resolutions of re.
spect and cards of thanks.
They make such spicy reading,
and you are so proud of your To-
cal paper when you pick it up
filled with these glowing NOR
tuary articles.
But money-scorn the filthy
thing. Don't let the pure inno-
cent editor know anyth ug about
it. Keep that for sordid trades
people who charge for their
wares. The editor gives his
buonty away. The Lord loves
cheerful giver. He takes care of
the editor. DON'T worr3 about !
