.Actiue Measures Needed to
Secure Dyeose-Free Potatoes
AGRICULTURAL DANGEROUS
Es VARIETIES
BE DEVELOPED BY SEED SELECTION AND BREEDING

ticulally to emphasize the fact that
the same system of seed selection anc
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 Wig
orous condition and free from objec-
tionable 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 combated by spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture. 1t is also hoped that
more disease-resistant varieties will
soon aid in controlling this blight.
To the south early blight and tip
burn play a greater role than the late
blight in injury to the potato crop.
Early blight is apparently not SO COM
mon in the cooler and more uniform
climate of northern Europe. Nor does
one find there that tip-burn is as COM
mon as here, where high summer tenn
peratures combine with the injuries of
flea beetles and other insects to cause
excessive Transportation and its conse-
quent marginal burning of the leaves.
Here also the logical line of attack
seems to be the production of varie-
ties possessing heat resistance.
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
doubtless been long prevalent, while
others, like the blackleg, appear to
have been recently introduced from
Europe.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the elimina-
tive tissues clog and the result is kid
ney trouble, bladder weakness and a
general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.

a mistake by having a good kidney
flushing any time.
