We have three more or less serious
potato diseases In Utah, the early
blight, the dry rot, sometimes called
the black rot, or the brown rot or
potato wilt, and potato scab.
Early blight is a disease of the po-
tato leaves. Small dry brown al
most round spots gradually becoming
larger occur on the leaves in June,
July or August. These are areas in
which the blight fungus has killed the
cells of the leaf. These spots are
often not large, but they may be very
numerous and cause the leaf to dry
and fall of. The damage may be as
high as thirty per cent or more.
Control Of Early Blight
Early blight can be controlled by
spraying the plants with Bordeaux
mixture. consisting Of five pounds OF
lime and I'VE pounds of copper SUI
phate, dissolved in fifty gallons of
water. The plants should be spray
ed when about eight inches high, or
when the first spots on the leaves are
found, and again two weeks later.
This spray is to prevent the first
spores which are produced from IN
fecting more new leaves.
Dry Rot
Dry rot is Utah's most serious po-
tato pest. The disease lives over
winter in the soil and In diseased

Mary Matilda Kidd was born in
Plattsburg, N. Y, in 1912. She was
married to John Il. Hare at Platts-
burg in 1866 and moved to Mime
sofa shortly afterwards. They resid-
ed in Minnesota for three years when
they moved to Lake county, Dakota
Territory, being among our earliest
settlers and enduring all the hard
ships of our pioneer days. In COM
ing to Lake county they drove over
land with a yoke of oxen, arriving
here in October, forty-one years ago,
without knowing what was in store
for them.
They carried with them good,
cheerful hearts and a strong will, and
with but a little money went to work
to build them a home on the east
shore of the beautiful Lake Madison.
1t was from this same home which,
after forty-five years of love and
labor, that the Lord has seen fit to
remove from our midst a beloved
wife and mother who has ever been
the sunshine in their home.

time Prof. Girton presented the hon

appreciative words, finishing an even

not only be remembered by the
members of the order who are about
to Eve their relations with the home
lodge, but by all concerned in the
event. As the company departed for
their homes the younger people re-
paired to the banquet hall and en-
joyed an hour dancing.

One of the drawbacks attending
the effort of desultory readers 10
form an impression of the mode OF
life in antiquity is the disposition OF
writer's who attempt their enlighten-
ment to unduly emphasize particu-
lar instances, a practise which ieaus
to exaggeration, says the st. Paui
Pioneer Press. Another equally Sc
rious Is that which underiies the as
sumption that the absence OF EVIL
dence governing methods OF doing
things should be taken to imply tnat
they were not adopted. This latter
propensity is responsible for great
deal of misrepresentation regarding
the ancients and has caused their
ACCOMPLISHMENTS to be greatly url-
derrated.
An anomaly presented by the mod
ern Judgment of the peoples OF an
tiouity is the disposition to concede
superiority to them in what might
be termed the superior attachments
Of man, while denying to them the
ability to do commonplace things ex-
cent in the crudest manner. We con-
cede without question that their ar
tistic genius has not been approached
by moderns, and that their great
thinkers and writers have not been
riyaIed in our own times, but are
prone to believe that the races that
produced great sculptors and archi-
tects, and philosophers whose ideas
we are content to work over, were
mere children when it came to prac-
teal matters.
There Is perhaps no more signal mis-
conception concerning ancient people
than that involved in the assumption
that they were incapable Of perfect
ing a photographic system We are
told that shorthand was known to the
Greeks as early as 400 B. c., and that
in the early centuries of the Christian
era and in the Middle Ages systems
were devised whereby words could be
expressed in shorthand but those
who have discussed the matter learn
eddy have left it to be implied that
even the so-called notes of M. Tullius
Trio, the freedman of Cicero, while
they were undoubtedly alphabetic in
their origin lacked something, the i'm
plication being that they could not
have been employed as effectually as
| the modern systems.
And yet the classics are full of al
| lusions which suggest that no matter
what may have been the defects of
shorthand, regarded from a modern
standpoint, the stenographers of an
| tiquity must have been very expert.
