How To Avoid Potato
Scab And Dry Rot

| These two diseases are prevalent
in Kentucky, and now is the time to
lesson their injuries on the crop OF
1914. il they are to be lessened.
Scab is a fungus disease resulting
in roughness Of the surface of pc.
tatoes. when severe leaving most OF
the outside assured, corky and black.
When used for seed, such potatoes
are likely to cause scab on the ne W
crop, and are unfit for planting if
one wants clean skinned potatoes.
If but slightly affected they may be
disintected by soaking them for two
hours in thirty gallons of water con.
tanning one pint OF formalin. A gun.
ny sack containing the potatoes may
be set in barrel containing the wa.
ter aud formalin, and after treat.
ment it is only necessary to lift the
sack out, drain Of the fluid, and
spread the potatoes out to dry be.
fore cutting them.
Dry Rot is also fungus disease
Potatoes sometimes appear to be
perfectly sound, yet when cut show
a brown line of varying thickness
just within the skin and often fol-
lowing the greater part of the cir
conference. This is the work of
dry rot fungus, generally, in Ken
lucky, a species known as Fusarium
oxysporum. Such potatoes ought
always be rejected. They are GER
tain to convey the disease to the
crop. No treatment will reach the
fungus within the potatoes. When
buying potatoes it is well to cut
some of them to see if the disease is
present.
Both scab and dry rot fungi re-
main in the soil for time, hence old |
potato land is likely to produce more
badly diseased potatoes than new !

(1) The selection Of sound seed, (2) |

the means by which both of these !

That is bright idea of the state
highway commission in asking the ce-
ment manufacturers to sell cement a
little cheaper to the counties so as to
promote concrete road building ny
making the cost of cement road
81, 900 per mile cheaper than it other
wise would be, but 1t will have about as
much effect upon the cost OF road
building as the government inquiry mas
had upon the price of sugar. The at
torney general of the United States has
held an inquest upon sugar and finds
that sugar is high because London
brokers are buying all they can get OF
it at the high price.
The cement manufacturers had the
same kind of an experience in Iowa.
Thru the Lincoln Highway Association
they offered free gift OF $4,000 worth
of cement to Iowa counties along that
highway The gift was divided into
four parts of $4,000 each and each gift
was to be given to the county which
would build the greatest mileage of
cement road with It. One county in
Iowa and one only applied. The result
was such frost that the cement has
not yet been awarded even to the one
lone county which did apply.
A free gift of $4,000 worth of cement
did not start any road building. Why?
Simply because it costs $4,000. or
Whereabouts to build a mile of cement
road and there is no way of raising the
balance even with $4,000 donated ex-
cept by public subscription. County
road taxes levied for one year must be
spread over $50 miles of county ROAD
and no board is willing TO take one
fifth of the fund and invest it on one
mile of road.
Cutting the cost OF cement road
By $1,000 per mile will get no farther
than a free gift Of $500 worth of &C.
ment did until provision is made in
the Iowa statutes TO spread the cost OF
a thirty year road out over the period
of years i, is to last. Every state in
the union except Iowa and two others
now build roads With county. town
ship or state bond issues. BY this
method a cement road in Iowa would
cost only 1920 per mile in any one year
without free gifts O. cement and at
that price for principal. interest and
maintenance we could afford few
files in every county. SO long as each
mile must hit road fund for $4,000 at
one crack reducing the shock by $1,000
or even by $500 with free gifts will
not build anything. Reducing limousine
cars from $4,000 TO $1,000 will not
stimulate sales among day laborers 10
any appreciable extent. II the state
highway commission wants cement
roads built in Iowa like most of the
other states are building let the COM
mission demand road bond issues sucn

cur AWAY THE DEATH TRAPS.

The killing of two people at a grade
crossing near Mitchellville and of one
more and possibly two near Green
Mountain yesterday under almost iden
teal circumstances should drive home
to US all and to our public officials
that we have problem IN crossings at
which the view of approaching trains is
obstructed which we must meet. cost
what it Will
At both places those crossing the
railroad in automobiles could not see
the train. In the one ii was grove
of evergreens which furnished the
cover from behind which the train
dealt death and destruction. In the
other it was high banks possibly ten
feet in elevation with seven or eight
feet of growing corn on top. In both
places the result was the same: auto
mobile struck and several people killed
and both crossings were known to be
mad had very narrow escapes before.
Today each crossing stands as il did
with its death trap sprung and waiting
for the next victim.
We need more attention TO railroad
crossings in this age when the auto
mobile puts so large a part of our pop
ulation upon the roads These ever
greens at the Mitchellville crossing
should be cut down and so should every
tree. bush. hedge or hill that obstructs
the view of the trains There are
thousands of grade crossings in Iowa
equally as dangerous and they are go
ing 10 collect their tax in human lives
just so long as we neglect TO spend
on them the amount of road tax neces
sary 10 clear them.
Tie Green Mountain crossing needs
grading. Those high banks on each
side should be cut down and hack into
the fields 50 as 10 open wide mouth
70 the railroad cut at the crossing In
some cases boards Of supervisors should
be given power ny law TO prohibit the
growing OF crops that are high enough
to obstruct sight Of the approaching
trains. The whole countryside of the
Green Mountain neighborhood had far
better turn out and clear away the land
at this crossing and the one just
little way beyond than to take chances
OF death for the rest Of their days.
What IS true at these places is true
all over Iowa. We have come upon
new problem at our grade crossings
and we ought to be men enough 70

cause Of our negligence.

THE WARS TAX FOR SUGAR.

Sugar has risen in price because half
of the worlds supply is produced in the
countries that are now ar war and the
rest 81 the world has turned to the
United States stock Of sugar to supply
needs that have heretofore been met
from other sourc,s. But sugar has
been higher than it is today and ii is
generally higher in many other coun-
tries than 1t is in The United States
