"SWEETS" ARE
ON SICK LIST
Foot Rot Is Name Given and
il Was Discovered in Old
Dominion
II IS CONTROLLED BY
SANITARY METHODS

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Jan. IA
teW disease, the foot rot OF the sweet
potato, has recently been discover ed
IN Virginia by experts of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which threatens
to materially restrict the production
oi the crop in certain localities.
The new disease was first observed
on sweet potatoes growing in the VT
cinity OF the Dismal Swamp. Virginia
during the summer of 1912. At that
time IL was believed to be very limited
In its distribution, since search for Il
elsewhere was unsuccessful The next
summer It was found IN other parts OF
Virginia, namely at Cape Charles and
Keller. on the Eastern Shore IL Is
probable that It occurs elsewhere. AZ
all OF these places considerable
damage was done TO the crop, and IN
some fields as much as 60 to SO per
cent. of the plants were diseased.
Nature and Growth of Disease.
The disease is known as foot rot and
attacks the lower part of the stem
from the soil to four or Eve inches
above It. The fungus kills the plants
by the destruction OF the skin or bari
Of the stem. Sometimes the disease
attacks the vines several feet from the
hill. usually where the leaf is attached
and from there spreads in both direc.
tions. Small black bodies about tn,
size of pin point and just visible tC
the naked eye are formed on the
diseased spots. These are the fruit
ing bodies OF the fungus.
The disease may be distributed In
several ways. It has been found in
the hot beds on the slips and is prob.
ably carried on them to the field. Il
has also grown from the affected 20.
.ato onto the slips produced therefrom
Furthermore, the fungus will pass
from diseased plants to the potatoes
grown from them. The organism caus
ing the disease lives over the winter
IN the dead vines in the field and may
infect healthy plants when set out In
ne spring.
The sale and exchange Of potatoes
or slips is another method of distrib-
nting this disease from one farm tc
another. OF from one locality to an.
other. This disease. like many others
Of a similar kind. may be distributed
on farm implements, or on the feet OF
rattle or horses which roam from one
deld TO another The spores may even
be carried with the dust during strona
winds
Methods OF Control.
In view OF these facts, it is apparent
that sanitary methods should be EN-
9olyed IN controlling the disease. These
souid consist In the careful selection
of only sound, healthy potatoes for
seed. The soil for the hot bed should
be obtained two or three feet from
below the surface after throwing of
the top layer or form woods where
there is no possibility that It NIGH
be infested
Healthy slips produced by these
method, should he planted on grount
where sweet potatoes have never beer
grown, OF az least whero the disease
has never occurred Healthy slips
planted on diseased soil viii become
diseased. Neither seed sweet potatoes
nor plants should be purchased from
localities where this disease is preya'
lent The disease will probably in
crease each year according to the fed
eral experts. II sweet potatoes ar,
planted continually on the same
ground

FEAR COLD WILL
HURT FRUIT CROP

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
MILFORD, Del, Jan. 1.-THE bitter
cold weather sent the mercury to 12
degrees above zero, and has caused
considerable anxiety among the fruit
growers. The warm fall and early
part of the winter cause the sap to
remain in the fruit bearing twigs and
limbs of the fruit trees, and in fact
some of the buds were swollen on
several kinds of fruit trees The
growers fear that the freeze may
blight the germs Of the buds. and they
claim that frequently this is a more
critical period for fruit buds than in
the spring frosts The peach trees
are not in any danger, but the plums
and early apples cause the anxiety.
Grapes and berries would not be af-
fected

Loin Tie Recommended as a Cure For
This Bad Habit.

Loin Tie Recommended as Cure For
This Bad Habit.
Halter pulling is u very aggravating
habit. easily acquired and often prac-
tically impossible to overcome, says
NJ. ". Harper, New York Agricultural
college, in the American Agriculturist
Many bitches have been suggested,
Of which the loin tie is as efficient as
any. This can be made from q half
inch rope about fifteen feet long. Tie a
stationary loop in one end and place
about the horses body just in front OF
the hips with the loop under the aldo
men. Now run the free end through
the loop. then forward between the
front legs, up through the ring at the
halter. then around post and back
and tie into the ring at the halter.
With this device. as the horse pulls.
pressure is brought about the body,
which usually causes him to bound for
ward and stand close to the post. In
case of the confirmed halter puller
some horsemen excite the animal to
pull on this device, thus causing pain
about the body. In the hope that the
horse will remember the pain and not
try again. 1t frequently happens that
the halter pullers give little trouble
when tied with a weight.

HINTS FOR FARMERS.

A good coat Of whitewash In the
poultry house would prevent a great
many lice from ever seeing the light
Of day.
Don't feed spoiled food to the poul.
try. 1t Is poor economy. as they may
become poisoned or contract disease.
Burn all rotted food Immediately.
If you are thinking of putting in an
orchard and don't know how to do II
hire good man to do it for you. A
good orchard is both profitable and
pleasurable, but a lot of scrub fruit
trees are worse than useless.
Don't forget that all animals need
salt in large quantities. A cake of
rock salt should be kept where all the
animals on the farm can easily reach
1t. Or better still. mix a few spoon.
fuls of fine table salt in the feed each
day.
The productive life of the average
hen is only two years. Some hens are
good layers at three and four years,
but these are exceptions to the rule
AS general thing it will not pay to
keep a hen after she Is three years old
The remedy for sour land is lime and
proper drainage. First, drain of all
moisture and allow the soil to become
dry. Then spread ground limestone
rock and as this works down into the
soil you will find all trace of sourness
disappears.
During the hot days OF summer youl
hens need plenty Of shade and plenty
of water. See that they are given {
plentiful supply Of fresh water every
day. and provide them some kind o.
shelter from the fierce rays Of the sum
mer sun. II you have no natural shad'
a sun shelter can be easily made from
old bagging or burlap.

all he thought when he took one of
them to the international live stock ex-
position the following winter. In a
class containing thirty-eight lambs Of
various breeding one of these took
second prize.
In selecting a ram of any mutton
breeds. you naturally look for well
built body. More important than this
is the vigor. The ram should have
bright eye, a fearless expression and
a masculine appearance throughout.
His body should be blocky. because 1t
is the blocky body that produces the
most meat. In fact. he should be near
est the ideal type Of mutton sheep 1t
is possible to secure, with the addition
of unusual vigor and constitution.
A ram with narrow heart girth
should not be used In q flock under
any conditions. Narrowness just back
of the fore legs indicates lack Of con
stitution. which is almost sure-t have
downward tendency In the flock
Just remember that in the same way
good ram can bring up flock. pool

GOOD BLOOD TELLS.
Experience of Sheep Breeder With a
Pure Bred Ram.

Experience OF sheep Breeder With q
Pure Bred Ram.
Most every agricultural lecturer on
live stock topics tells the farmers who
hear him that the male is half the
flock. says the Iowa Homestead. A
German sheep breeder tested out this
statement a few years ago and proved
that with sheep at least the ram may
be the making of the flock.
The shepherd purchased four ewes
from Wyoming range. At the time
Of the purchase it was almost impos-
sible to determine the breed of the
sheep because they were so scrubby
and so much run down. Nothing was
known to their parentage, but 1t was
very apparent from their appearance
that they were the scrubbiest Of the
scrubby.
He mated these four ewes with q
ram Of very high character. He was
unusually vigorous, Il pure bred and
with breeding of the very highest quail
ity. The first crop Of lambs told the
story. Seven were born to the -four
ewes. and all of them resembled the
ram. OF course. they were not pure
breds and were not perfect in all re-
spects, but they were so far in ad
vance Of their mothers that you would
scarcely recognize any relationship.
Not only were these lambs of higt
quality, according to the judgment Of
the shepherd, but they proved to bt
