started on the road toward normal
conditions. For exactly four months
the exchange had been rigidly closed,
trading in listed bonds had been in
dulged in under the close supervision
Of the special committee of the ex-
change.
The early part OF August, as reflect
ing the chaotic conditions of the in
ed heavy decline in the prices in
what private trading was carried on,
but this soon gave way to brisk and
extensive recovery. This describes
equally well the movement in stocks
and in bonds. The extent to which
bonds have shown recovery is reflected
In the public quotations again made on
the floor of the stock exchange. The
trading in stocks through the clearing
house OF the exchange. which still goes
unreported. and the unofflcial Quota
tions in the New street market. reflect
the recovery which has occurred in
stocks. In both the movements offer
assurance and encouragement. The
Cnanse from unQuOted TO quoted tranS-
actions in bonds is even more signif-
cant than appears on the surface. 1t
represents essentially an abandonment
In large part. If not entirely. of the
emergency measures of protection
which were adopted to safeguard the
financial situation from the assault of
war upon security values. 1t repre-
sents an abandonment of these meas

considerable growth in the investment
demand for securities, and an atmos-
phere Of confidence in the place of the
tension which naturally existed in the
first days after the outbreak of war.
From what has been observed in the
trading this week. two important con-
illusions may be drawn: First, that
there has been no dearth of buying or
ders. but that on the contrary they
have equaled. if not exceeded. the SELL
ing pressure: and. second. that the fear
of foreign liquidation has been most
groundless, and in not single in
stance has there been detected desire
on the part of foreign holders to dump
their securities back on us at sacrifice
prices. Evidently the foreign invest
ors know a good thing when they have
it, and are not overanxious to separate
themselves from a security which is
good as gold and which RENTS Its in
terest payment with increasing regu-
larity.

others. like the blackleg, appear to
have been recently introduced from
Europe.
The types Of disease distinguished
as of some Importance In the United
States are the following:
Fusarium WiIt-A disease charac-
terized by the whiting of the plant.
Widespread In America, but not yet
Identified from Europe. The distinc-
tive characteristics of this disease are
asTolling or whiting of the leaves and
premature death of the foliage.
Verticullium Wilt-A wilt resem-
bling the foregoing often more rapid.
Present in both America and Europe.
This disease is characterized by a
blighting Of the foliage, resulting In
the premature death of the hill.
Leafroll-An Unbeatable disease
marked by rolling of the leaves, re-
duced yield. and other symptoms.
Probably not due to a parasite. Com
mon in Europe and lately appearing
In America. Leaf-roll causes an up
ward rolling Of the leaves and a de-
creased yield OF tubers.
Curly-dwarf-An Unbeatable, non
parasitic trouble in which dwarfng
Is a prominent characteristic. Found
in Europe and America. This disease
causes a dwarfed development of the
plant, accompanied by pronounced
curling and UrinIxIfn0 NJ fha folia1a
Rosette-A stunted or dwarfed con-
diticn Of the potato associated with
injuries OF the underground stems and
roots caused by fungus; most con-
spicuous In the western United States.
Mosaic-A condition marked by a
nothing and distortion of the foliage,
present in Europe as well as America.
The effect Of Mosaic on the growth
and development Of potato plants is
quite marked. Most conspicuous is
the irregular, wrinkIed foliage.

SANDY SOIL FOR ASPARAGUS
Item of Fertilizer ls One Of Gigantic
Importance Plants Should Be
One Year Old.
(By FRANK L. DAvIs.D

Asparagus requires a deep, sandy
black loan soil, the deeper the bet
ter: subsoil of a porous nature and
well tile-drained
The item of fertilizer is one Of 81
gantic Importance. Fertilizer In some
form must be procured in liberal guam
titles. Asparagus is not dainty feed
er; it devours alike the fine ground
bone of commerce, and the dead cat
picked up in the back alley.
In starting a family asparagus bed,
plow the ground at least six inches
deep. The plants should be one year
old, set in rows three feet apart, and
is inches apart in the row.
Dig the holes for the plants large
enough to receive the roots In their
natural position, and eight inches
deep; firm the earth well over the
plants.
Two hundred will supply good
sized family all they can use. Guilt
vate and fertilize well for two years
before cutting. and you will have
plenty Of good asparagus.

about the underbrim is a feature that
every wearer Of mourning millinery
should note. It is a wonderful touch
of becoming softness and relieves the
somberness Of all black.
There is short veil Of fine Brussels
net finished with two narrow folds of
black Grape.
Just the needed touch to finish this
suit of black is furnished by the neck
run of airy maline. It is made Of one
of the waterproofed kinds in a very
fine grade and keeps its crispness in
wet weather.
Besides these ruffs there are long
scarfs of maline in white or black, to
be worn instead of the run The white
scarf is appropriate for mourning and
to be worn with either. an all-wbite or
all-black hat. But the white scarf of
maline, and others in colors, are the
prettiest of <accessories for evening
wear. Nothing quite equals white for
this purpose.
The scarf is made about one and
"a half yards long, with the ends gath
cred up and finished with a tassel Of
silk Maline ruffs are finished with
bows or rosettes of ribbon with eight
een-inch ends for tying. Moire Is used
with those intended for mourning.

FEW POTATO DISEASES
PROBLEMS OF IMPORTANCE TO
PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE.
Particularly Heavy Losses Caused BY
Late-5Iight and Rot in the North
ern States combatted by
Bordeaux Spray Mixture.
(By w. A. oRToN.)

More general and concerted efforts
on the part Of potato growers are
needed to combat certain diseases
which threaten to impair the vigor Of
the seed stock and to cause the de-
terioration Of varieties, according to
the u. s, department of agriculture's
investigator
During recent years there has been
much doubt. and misunderstanding
among plant Psychologists and observ-
ant farmers concerning the group of
potato diseases variously referred. to
as wilt, leaf roll, leaf curl, Fusarum
blight, bacterial ring disease, etc,
which in different countries of the
world appear to constitute problems
Of increasing Importance to practical
agriculture. Environment has most
important influence on crops in the
several states and in foreign countries.
Therefore. great care is needed to de-
termine exactly which method Of con-
troll is best In each specific instance
where disease is present
The fact should be particularly en-
phasized that the same system Of
seed selection and crop rotation that
will free the potato fields Of wilt, leaf
roll and curly-dwarf, will not only
bring under control blackleg and some
other diseases, but will insure the
maintenance of the strains cultivated
in their most vigorous condition and
free from Objectionable mixtures with
other varieties.
Losses from the late-blight and rot
occur mainly in the northern states.
This causes particularly heavy losses
during cool and humid seasons. In
the states east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio this disease is par
ticularly common. 1t is now success
fully combatted by spraying with Dor
deaux mixture. It is also hoped that
more disease-resistant varieties will
soon aid in controlling this blight
With the progress Of studies of this
problem other potato diseases have
been recognized in the United States.
Some Of these, like the brown-rot, had
