The problem Of supplying q disease
free seed has been met and solved ~
Germany and the recommendation Is
made that the same thing is done IN
this country through the cooperation
Of potato growers associations and the
department Of agriculture, than by le-
gal enactment. H. previous years Of
scarcity the United States has import
Cd potatoes from Europe IN large
quantities-eight million bushels in
1903 and 13 million in 1911. With
them came disease hitherto unknown
in America, like the blaekleg, and
scurf and powder seab, and the dan
ger Of importing the still more dread
ed wart disease led the secretary Of
agriculture to prohibit the importa-
ton Of potatoes from most Of the large
growing districts abroad Hereafter,
experts say, enough potatoes must be
produced TO supply all our needs, IS
most sources Of foreign imports have
been closed by quarantine, and unless
production is increased and maintained
a serious condition may arise.

OF All shallow farm wells examined In
Indiana the waters Of 209 were very
bad, AZ were doubtful, and only f69 re-
ceived clean bills Of health. In Mime
sofa 10 wells were examined and 80
were found to be polluted. Deep wells
are not exempt from suspicion, for out
of TT of such, the waters of 45 were
found to be bad and rs were doubt
ful. Even in the bubbling spring, the
last stronghold of the rural pest, the
insidious germ has been found germi
mating and such sources of supply
should be carefully watched.
TWENTY-FIVE of the polluted wells in
Minnesota were bad only because Of
poor surface protection and could cas-
ily have been made safe" says bull
letin of the department which outlines
a simple sanitary system for the farm
home. "Practically all of the surface
supplies were polluted. During these
investigations % of the farms exam

Surface water supplies should not be
used for household purposes or for
washing milk cans. They should not
even be used for laundry purposes un-
less no other supply is available. Rain
water from the roof Is often pollutel

should be of water tight construction
to prevent pollution from the neigh
boring soil There should also be suit
able provision for straining or fltering
the water previous to its entrance to
the cistern." When the farmer figures
on his water supply the amount needed
is a vital item, and to help him on this
point the department has prepared u
table on water consumption. Each
member of the family needs from 25
to 40 gallons per day. probably de-
