DELAWARE COLLEGE
oUARANTINE. oNMAINE SEED ROTATOE

QUARANTINE. 0NMAINE SEED POTATOES
The Department of Plant Pathology
of Delaware College again calls the at
tention Of potato growers in Delaware
and the Peninsula to the serious nature
of the powdery scab Of potatoes. This
disease has secured a strong foothold in
the seed-potato districts of Maine and
since most of the seed for our early
market potatoes comes directly from
this northern source, it will be neces-
sary for US to become aware of the
serious nature of this trouble Careful
examination should be made of all pota :
toes used for seed, and should the pres
ence of a new form of scab be manifest,
specimens should be submitted to the
Plant Pathologist of Delaware College,
Newark, Delaware.
This disease is considered so serious
that the Federal Horticultgral Board
has issued a notice of quarantine on
on Maine seed to become effective on
August l, 1914. In Scotland, the Board
of Agriculture prohibits shipments
from infested land and further quaran-
tines all areas showing any evidence of
being infested Our growers are al
ready aware of the fact that the United
States has quarantine against Europ-
can and Canadian Potatoes on account
of this disease and the black Wart or
Canker, which is likewise a disastrous
potato trouble.
There is no doubt, but that the dis
ease has already reached Delaware, the
Plant Pathologist having found the
same upon four different shipments of
seed potatoes labelled from Maine.
NATURE OF THE DISEASE
The spots of pustles of powdery scab
are not irregular as a rule like that of
common scab, but are smaller and
nearly circular, breaking through the
thin surface skin of the potato and
turning it back like a rust pustule; the
center is brown and powdery. This
disease like ordinary scab may persist
in infested soil for a long time. The
seriousness of the disease is due to sew
eral characteristics not common to or
dinary scab; viz, powdery scab on po-
tatoes according to statements made at
the public hearings in Washington, is
not destroyed, when they are treated
with formaldehyde snd corrective subli-
mate Also in storage, especially in
spring under warm conditions, the dis
ease continues its activity, forming
cankers by enlarging and deepening the
infected spots.
The Department of Plant Pathology
of Delaware is desirous of keeping in
touch with potato growers throughout
the Peninsula, and it will gladly furnish
franked tags to forward specimnes;
identification Of the disease will be
made and report sent to the grower.

4 NEW IDEA FOR HOTEL LIFE

Sunday evening liners. in-terserners-
cd with sacred music and Intimate dis
cuss1on of appropriate subjects. re.
calling the Sundays spent with the
ola folks at home. have been tried by
a New York hotel and have met with
success. The management has furn-
lsned an innovation which is in keen
ing with a homelike hotel, where the
one aim has been to make for real
comfort In a big city since it's client.
eie IS confined to those who shun the
downtown districts, with its cabarets
and what-nots, and who seek the
quiet and comfort of an uptown hotel,
set apart from the noise and the
crowds The idea was to get away
from all that has the swing of the
new and fiippant and settle back to
the comfortable days when home life
was made sweeter with songs and
thoughts which were characteristic Of
the simplicity of the age that produc-
ed them. On each Sunday eyening
e Workers may have the opportuni-
ty of enjoying the same peaceful at.
mosphere that was produced in the
family circle by familiar songs and
hymns in days gone by. The proprie-
tor and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Bonita
have explained that in reality they
are not professional hotel keepers,
but just country folks who have tried
comfortable with provisions for a
class of patrons who find enjoyment
in things more serious than the tango
and the carabet.

INHERITs FORTUNE; DIES

W. D. Jennings of East Tarvares
died IN New Castle, Ind, a few days
ago. Mr.. Jennings had been taken
north for treatment but his strength
gradually failed. and the ed was not
unexpected. The deceased leaves g
widow and one baby daughter ID
mour his loss. Mr.. Jennings had just
inherited a fortune by the death OF
his father during the past spring, and
his death will be a great loss to Tava-
res as he had a beautiful home on
Lake Dora.
Mr.. Walter Ellison says the very
finest cantaloupes that we're ever
grown here or anywhere on the top
side of the green earth are doomed
to decay on the vines, simply be-
cause they will not pay ~transporta-
ton charges. If We paid no more
freight in proportion than growers
in other states we would make hand
some returns-the difference in the
freight charges would net a nice prof
it-but as we pay more than our pro-
portionate share the more we ship
the more heavily we involve our
selves in debt. Mr.. Ellison says that
our railway commission is to blame.
That they have not busted them
selves in having these tremendously
unequal freight charges adjusted.
What should have been a fairly good
profit ha stunned out a deficit. The
cantaloupes that are going to waste
in ordinary times would have given
the state a rich encomium of praise.

Following the minaret, says one of

in it's various versions, then the Rus
sian tunic and now there is the skirt
that is bedecked with ruffles from
waist to hem until it looks like a pic
ture of a society belle OF 1880. Then
to go along with the frilled skirt is
the long, tight fitting basque. The
long wrinkled basque is not a novelty
but it serves as the foundation for
many original ideas. Few women can
afford to wear the basque that is
tight, therefore the wrinkled effect
has been found more available. This
garment fastens down the front with
p~erceptible buttons and Grapes itself
