BIGGER POTATO YIELD
Interesting Series of Tests Con-
Quoted in Ohio.
Great Advantage Gained by Spraying
for Blight Is ConcIusiveIy Shown
-Tubcrs Were Planted Level
and in Ridges.

A very interesting series of tests in
potato growing in Ohio, show con-
clusively that great advantage is to be
gained by spraying for blight. In four
wet years, when blight is usually
severe, out of "A comparisons Of 90
feet of sprayed vines with the CORE,
spending unsprayed vines, the sprayed
lots gave a greater yield. The aver
ages for the four years of these
sprayed and unsprayed potatoes give
an average increase of about 80 per
cent In every one of the years, the
spraying, theoretically, much more
than paid for itself.
The Bordeaux (4-4-50 formula)
spraying was done three times, the
first being about the middle of July,
the last about the first of September.
All of the potatoes were sprayed for
insects so as to make the conditions
the same so far as insect injury was
concerned. The potatoes were planted
level and in ridges. The increased
yield of the potatoes was not only due
to increased numbers of marketable

Value of Alfalfa FORAGE.

To determine the value of alfalfa
forage for hogs with and without
grain the Oklahoma experiment sta
ton put pigs averaging about rs
pounds each in weight on an alfalfa
field in April. At the end OF 100 days
the average daily gain was 26 of
pound per head when on alfalfa
alone; on alfalfa and all the dry corn
chop they would eat the gain was 12S
pounds per head per day; on alfalfa
and a half ration or corn chop the
gain was Z of pound.

Much Of New Guinea unexuIored.

New Guinea is one of the few coun-
tries that still present untrodden fields
for the explorer. The difficulties of
travelling in the interior of this great
island have prompted a German tray
eler, Lieutenant Graetz, to project the
exploration of the island by means of
an airship. This will enable the ex-
plorers to pass without difficulty over
rivers, mountains and jungles which
would be traversed only with great
toll by ordinary travellers.
