consumers m the United States, Their
is ever a belief prevalent abroad that
s%cabbiness is an indication OF super,
Tor quality. . In the United States.
when potatoes are put on the mar,
ket, scabby potatoes must be sorted
out, n therefore are of no use ex-
cept for stock feed or the manufac-
ture of starch. In Maine the price of
scabby potatoes in the autumn of 1913
was SO cents per barrel, while clean
stock brought $3.50 per barrel.
In the country as a whole hundreds
of thousands of bushels of potatoes
are left in the fields because they are
TOO scabby to market. There are ire
quent instances in the New York mar
kets, according to potato dealers,
where carload consignments are re-
jected because of the presence of
numerous scahby potatoes. When the
soil becomes infested with scab its
preciates. This is especially true in.
sections where potatoes constitute
the chief crop.
In addition to the fact that pota-
toes affected with powdery scab are
less acceptable to the American than
to the European consumer, there is
also the probability that American
varieties OF potatoes may prove more.
susceptible than the European. In
dastrictuve in a new environment
than in an old one. The varied eli
matte and soil conditions of several
of our states offer a wider range for
the new potato malady. The brief ex-
p%erience with this disease in eastern
Canada gives no hint of what it's be-
havior might be in the southern truck
ing districts, the Central West, or the
irrigated sections of the United States
Related potato diseases have proven
more destructive in the western than
in eastern potato territory.
Particular Importance also attaches
to the fact that Maine in the one
state now seriously menaced. Maine
is the chief source of seed potatoes
for the central Atlantic and southern
states. and adjoins that portion of
Canada where the powdery scab is
now most %seriouns. If Maine pota-
toes should become generally affect
ed, only the most extraordinary eff
forts can check the spread of pow
derry scab to nearly every other state
AS yet no method of controlling this
diseaae, when it once gets in the
soil, has been found. The new bulle
tin OF the department relates the re
suits OF certain experiments which
are interesting, but they are of such a
preliminary nature that further study
will be required before they can be
recommended. The best advice that
can be given a farmer whose fields
have produced a crop infected with
powdery scab is this: Don't grow
potatoes for several years on a piecei
OF land that has produced a CROP IN
fected with this disease.
n Is not yet known how many years
the fungus may live in the soil; but
its nature suggests that it can probab
Nv live for several years.

sacks, barrels and boxes are often

Scab on Potatoes
is Bad in Europe

Washington, d. c., April 2O.-Pow
derry scab of the potato is a European
disease which doubtless followed i'm.
ported potatoes before the quarantine
law went into effect Every possible
effort is being made TO prevent this
disease making inroads in our potato
industry, and the cooperation of all
interested in this crop is much needed
in dealing with this new potato NAL
ady. The department is issuing a
bulletin (No. S2) entitled "Powdery
Scab OF Potatoes,'' which thoroughly
explains the disease and gives all the
practical advice available, at the pres,
ent regarding it's control.
Powdery scab does not attack the
portion of the potato vines above the
ground. 1t is primarily a disease of
the young tubers, which develops as
they mature in the ground. The di-
sease is made apparent Fly small
slightly raised pimples and a slight
discOloation of the surface, When
cut open, the infected areasu appear
family purplih and extend from ap-
nroximately the outermost cells of
the tuber toward the deeper layers.
The 'powdery scabb" fungus, if
conditions are favorable, may eat
large cavities into the immature po-
tatoes. Besides consuming parts of
the tubers, it stunts their growth and
causes them to be deformed.
Last spring the department import
ed Is varities OF potatoes from Scot
land for seed purposes. All were
found to be infected with powdery
scab and had to be condemned, Nine
varieties were imported from England
fors imilar purposes and were all in
fected in the same manner, The dis
ease has been found on potatoes from
Belgium. Norway and Sweden. On
the potatoes native heath-South Am
e~rica--the disease has been found.
1t was reported in several Provinces
of Canada in 1913.
From Canada the disease has made
some headway across the border into
northern Maine. This is the one
place where there is real danger at
present from the infection, but active
measures are being taken to drive
out the disease and to prevent the
shipment of diseased potatoes to 9th
er sections.
The seriousness of poWdery scab
may be realized from the following
statement BY q conservative Canadian
scientist:
The disease should BY no means be
regarded lightly. Severe attacks oc-
cur when potatoes are planted year
after year on INFECTED land. Where
this is practiced the result viii be

HISTORY FROM WALL PAPER
Idea Seriously Put Forward in Eng
land Would Seem to Have Some
Good Points.

If you have grown tired Of the same
ness in the patterns of your wall pa
pers. you will soon be able to select
more interesting ones, for wall paper
manufacturers have made startling
changes in the matter of their de-
signs.
Instead Of the old familiar punches
of roses and forget-me-nots, says Pear
sons Weekly, all manner of interest
ing wall paper pictures will become
popular. These include reproductions
of scenes from English history, and
series of pictures illustrating sport
ing incidents, such as punting, boxing
and cross-country running.
Other very interesting lines show
incidents from classical history, such
as the Fall Of Troy, the Last Days
OF Pompeii and Quo Vadis
When these new wall papers really
become the rage, the walls of our
rooms will become veritable picture
galleries. We shall be able to have
lessons in Roman history by paying
a visit 90 the back bedroom and pol
isb up our knowledge of Greece while
We are having our dinner in the din
ing room.
Visiting will no doubt become
more popular, too, for it viii be great
fun to see how the respective tastes
Of our friends lie in regard to their
wall papers.

THE WOULD-DE HERO
BY GEORGE ELMER cose.

"Tll discount Roy Waldron's hero
game two to one" declared Levi
Pierce In so marked way that his
auditor stared at him curiously.
Sort OF euvious of that diamond
| spangIed medal the steamship people
sent him r. it was suggested.
Not at all. Why, any schoolboy
diver could have done what he did
Boat a-Ieak, two little children tipped
out BAIL I'm not much of a swimmer
but could have done as much my
self"
But you see Waldron was quick
and did just the right thing at the
right moment"
Well, I'm watching my chance. II

girls are making hero OF him. want

line"
Especially Estelle Bartley?" was
significantly limited.
"Oh, ! fancy I'm solid there" swag-
gered selfconceited Pierce. I'm in
with the old man, I've got more money
than Waldron. Estellc sort of admires
him, like all the silly girls here, but
that will wear Off"
And then Levi Pierce swung on his
way chuckIng. He had indeed some
money and fancied that he ought to be
idle to show his aristocratic contempt
for work. Idle hands find mischief to
do and Pierce was in tie midst of
carrying out an extremely hazardous
plan.
About a mile from Rushbrook where
the railroad curved through a deep cut
some phosphate mining had been done
In the past. 1t had not paid and the
dlggings had been abandoned. One Of
the men employed, a shiftless dissi-
pated old man named Red Davids, had
remained In the dismantled tool hut
on the place. working at odd jobs
about the village only when he needed
food and liquor. 1t was to this same
hut that Pierce now made his way by
a circuitous route, as if chary of any
body knowing whittier he was headed. |
Red Davids, bleafy eyed and ragged,
sat smoking blackened clay pipe in I
front Of the hut as Pierce approached.

"Have You Thought over What Said
Yesterdays"

A crafty expression came over his
motted face as Pierce greeted him
with assumed cordial familiarity.
Well, old man" hailed the latter,
have you thought over what l said
to you yesterday"
"All of the time. guvnor," promptly
replied Davids. THAT bottle you gave
me helped my ideas wonderfully"

package which his host seized greedily.
And I'm to have two dollars each

That's it. Now see here, Davids,
don't you go to fooling me-"
why should with plenty to eat
and drink?"
You've got the tools to do the
work."
"All l need is a shovel and pick"
"And you can fix that rock along
side the railroad tracks SO that at a
touch of my finger it operates"
ITO the thousandth part Of an inch
and timed to the millionth part of
second" asserted Red Davids posi-
lively.
Famous! II there is no hitch in
the plan | will give you twenty dollar
bill extra when the work is done"
For three days after that old man
Dayids was occupied In digging about
arocky ledge overhanging the railroad
cut about mile from Rushbrook. 1t
was secluded spot, but whenever
anybody appeared in the vicinity the
worker suspended operations imme-
diately and secreted himself and his
tools.
OF all these elaborate arrangements
the town people suspected little and
knew nothing. Pierce was rather con-
spicuous and overbearing in his atti-
tude to his friends, as if harboring
some glowing secret soon to blaze
forth in full power and magnifcence
and dazzle the community.
Roy Waldron was practical athlete
as well as a crack swimmer. He took
long walks, and one afternoon was re-
turning along the bluff road from ten
mile tramp when some one suddenly
hailed him with the uproarious though
unsteady words:
Hey, you come herel"
Tracing the speaker, Roy located
Red Davids fioundered down in a nest
OF ehruhbery, blinded. nerveless, fairly
helpless from strong drink.
You look here, Levi Pierce he

that twenty dollars right now. I've
done my share, the rock is all ready
to tip down on the track. I've made
you a hero Now then, ] want my
money, pr III blab the Whole scheme.
Yes, sir. III tell the railroad people
and that pretty gal, Estelle Barley"
What's this?" cried Roy in startled
/, tones, the rock? the railroad? Speak,
man! where"
I'm the cut, OF course" replied
DavidS. Hi there's the whistle Of
the express. Better give me that money
and get to your hero act"
Some quick intuition seemed to give
Roy an inkling OF what was going on
The old miner in his present muddled
condition had taken him for Pierce.
Something was up between the twain.
Mischief, 1t seemed--and "a loose
rock" and "the cut comprised the
clue to the same Towards the cut
Roy now ran at the top Of his speed.
Reaching the edge Of the BLUM an
amazing spectacle greeted his vision.
The side Of the cut was all dented and
jagged where an immense rock had
rolled down II, landing squarely across
the double set OF rails.
Running down the track in the direc-
tion OF Rushbrook was Pierce. He
had set a red neck scarf In the crotch
Of a tree branch near the rock and
was dashing towards the town and
the Coming express waving a Haunting
red handkerchief.
II was impossible from what Davids
had said to mistake the situation.
Pierce had created dangerous situa-
ton in order to pose as hero. There
was no doubt that he would succeed
In halting the oncoming train At
that moment, however, there was
distant echoeing whistle from the op-
posite direction.
Roy thrilled as he surmised what
this might mean An extra, probably
some special excursion train not reg
ularly scheduled, was coming. The
thoughtless, foolhardy Pierce had
never calculated on that In an instant
Roy realized the peril that menaced.
He had slid down the steep side of
the cut without hesitation. Gaining
the road bed below, he started to raa
through the cut in the objection of the
inbound excursion train.
Just beyond the cut the long dry |
grass along the tracks had been moved |
recently. Roy gathered great heaps of |
the light tindery stuff and applied a |
match. Great clouds Of smoke arose. |
Then, tearing off his coat, he ran for
ward, waving it at the approaching
train.
The outgoing express halted, with
Levi Pierce in heroic pose. The in
excursion special came to a
stop, the nose of its coweatcher just
burrowing into the massive boulder
from which 1t had SO narrowly escaped I
destruction.
Roy said nothing Of his discovery,
but two days later Red Davids in an
inflated condition blurted out the truth.
Between two suns Levi Pierce dis
appeared permanently and Roy Wal
dron was hero more than ever in the
eyes of his admirers-e especially in
those Of Estelle Barley, who was
proud of him and loved him.
