POTATO DISEASE.

The prevalence of potato diseases
in New Jersey in 1915 has attracted
more than usual attention. The first
disease widely noticed was due to the
fungus Rhizoctonia, and is common
ly known as "scurf," "brown STEM"
"little potato" etc. This disease was
much more evere this year than US
ual and was largely responsible for
the poor stand in many localities.
The mosaic" and "leaf-roll" diseas-
es, which are comparatively new to
the State, were also the cause of
considerable losses. The "black leg"
was less severe than usual. A physi-
illogical disease causing a willing,
following, browning and premature
dying of the plants was due primarily
to climatic conditions.
Most of the losses this year can be
traced directly to weak seed and to
the diseases which it carried. This
has been made very evident by the
crop" seed have much less disease
than those grown direct from ordin-
airy northern seed. Also by the fact
that the crops grown from certified
northern seed (not necessarily U. S.

better than crops grown from ordin-
airy northern seed.
DR.. W. A. Orion of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, DR.. Mel. T.
Cook of the N. j. Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, and the county
farm demonstrators have gone over
this subject very carefully and have
consulted a number of the leading
potato growers of New Jersey and are
of the opinion that much of our loss
es could be overcome by using bet
ter seed. In this connection it is in
teresting to know that seed improve
ment associations have been formed
in Maine, Wisconsin, and other nor
thern states for the purpose of grow
ing certified potatoes. The crops
| grown by the members of these as
sociations are subject to inspection,
in the field and after digging, for dis
eases and varietal mixtures and must
come to an established standard be-
fore certification.
A circular on the subject of seed
potatoes will probably be issued in
the near future by the New Jersey
Experiment Station.

THE B

Mr.. A. L. Clark, of the New Jersey
Experiment Station, declares that the
question of public markets is one that
should have the serious considera-
ton of those who would find some So
luton to the high cost of living.
Anything that can induce cheaper dis
tribution is of the most vital impor-
lance to the nation at large and to
thickly populated communities in par
t%icular. The public market is in
tended to foster these very conditions.
In other words, it is intended to pro-
mote a cheaper and more satisfac-
tory system of food-stuff distribu-
ton.
A public market place should en-
courage and promote direct buying
from the producer by the housewife.
The habit of attending market places
and personally selecting the required
ue and quality of kinds and varieties
encourage farmers to sell direct to
Frequently entirely overlooked in con-
sidering its establishment. Many of
the best vegetable growers have no
"lHCIlldllOn 10 Sell Ill Slldll qudllllIieo'
1t is extremely doubtful whether ex-
~tensive growers will ever find it prof
liable. Modern farming has many
and most trying complications to
take up the farmers mind. Labor is
unsatisfactory and needs constant di-
r%ection. A farmers real place is on
the farm. However, present meth
DDS of selling are often SO unsatisfac-
tory for small growers that a public
market place. should offer many ad-
vantages to them.
In the market place farmers are
brought into closer contact with each
other and their various ways of pre-
pairing, grading and packing. Com
petition develops better methods and
the farmers learn just what the con-
sumers want. This contact with each
other and between producer and con-
sumner can not be ~overvalued.

"A REGULAR ARMY MAN"
AT KEITH'S GARDEN PIER
Exceptionally Fine Bill at This Play.
house This Week.

Victor Morley has a one-act tabloid
musical comedy that is just suited to
the sultry weather of the seashore
resort, and it is scoring the hit it
well deserves at Keith's Garden Pier
Theatre. The one-act musical come
dy is a condensed version of "Kyy
Best Girl" which was seen here ear
lier in the season, and the best of that
show has been made into an enter
tanning diversion. 1t is entitled "a
Regular Army Man" and Morley as
the star does his role full justice, ex-
uding humor, singing the lilty songs
and reading the painfully thin plot.
A splendid male chorus is heard in
some of the old College songs, and
of appeal. Clifton Crawford's music
is not the least part of the sketch.
Miss Marie Nordstrom MRS. Hen
ry Dixie) brings back her "Bits of
Acting" and firmly establishes herself
in the hearts of the audience by her
delightful leaps from the sublime to
the ridiculous.
Charles Grapewin returns again in
his bright one-act playlet, entitled
"Poughkeepsie," in which he is as
sisted by Miss Anna Chance. "Pough-
keepsie" has many moments of witty
lines and a connected story of trav-
cling man that has been we'll observ-
ed. The denouement is quite the best
curtain of a playlet that has appear
ed at Keith's in some time.
Mullen and Coogan are ~nonsensical
comedians who please in season and
out. Their humor is so ridiculous
that it brings the laugh in spite of
its we'll worn earmarks. The dane
ing, of the eccentric sort, adds con-
siderably to the efforts of the duo.
Miss Elphye Snowden appears in
songs and dances. The Gardiner trio
appear in four dances, which are at
tractively staged and executed. En-
erson and Baldwin, in a juggling odd
ity, and the Baltzer Sisters, in an
aerial musical novelty, together with
the Pathe Travelogue, complete the
bill.

you over the whole dangerous journey
of life?
IF any of You lack wisdom let him
ask of God. that giveth to all men
literally and upbraideth not; and II
shall be given him.
James wrote this promise TOT the en-
coura cement of the early church. ana
it has been source of faith and in
spiration to Christians ever since. Wis
dom is. knowledge rightly applied. and
is. therefore. guidance IN the widest
sense. Whoever said, Wnere ignorance
is bliss it's folly to be wise. spoke less
than half a truth, for happiness based
on either error or ignirance Is false
and temporary No man can face the
complex forces Of modern hfe without
realizing his need of wisdom and God
lis ready to give this wisdom literally
in the form OF inspiration, or mind
guidance to those that ask Him in
faith.
"rhe meek will He guide in judg-
wav." This promise in the Psalms
makes humility a condition of It's full
fllment The proud spirit is not willing
to submit to the instructions OF the
Guide There is a difference between
being humble before God and being
humbled before God. We are humbled
because we have not been humble; II
we had been humble we should have
been given wisdom and grace to pre-
vent our sin. For God resisteth the
proud, but RlNelh grace TO the humble.
True humility does not consist in
thinking badly Of ourselves, but,
rather, in forgetting ourselves in the
consciousness Of Gods presence. Moses.
the meekest man that ever lived
depended entirely upon Gods guidance.
and was never disappointed.
In the forty-eishth Psalm the prom
Use is "IIe will be our guide even unto
death" better translation is said to
be "He shall lead us over DEATH"
Herein is the triumph of Christianity
in bridging the abyss that seems to
separ rate this life from the next Here
mere information or knowledge falls.
and it is here that the Christian e
faith is rewarded with sure guidance.
AS David sung, Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of
death. ! will fear no evil, for Thou
art with me"
Another promise of guidance is
found In Psalms. 32:8-"I will instruc ct
thee and teach thee in the way which
thou shalt go: | will guide thee with
mine eye The richest blessings re-
suit from such guidance. We nave
peace. because we trust completely In
His guidance. We have freedom, for
He makes us free by the truth, and
then our service is not prompted by
fear. but by love. We have courage
because the consciousness OF Gods eye
upon US is an inspiration.

find than the roads in a strange coun-
try.
How can we be sure of Gods guild
ance in our lives. or in any contem-
plated action? 1t has beeen suggested
that there are two ways Of determin-
ing this. First. there should be clear
caIl-an inner call-to that action. The
soul that is in tune with the heart of
God feels his call to action. The call
may come in varying ways, but it
comes with an insistance that cannot
| be denied. Second. there must be the
providential opening to undertake that
action. Sometimes We are not very
, eager to discover the providential
openings, but when We are ready to do
our part, we need not fear for lack of
clear guidance on Gods part.
Gods guidance is also needed by
every Epworth League chapter, and
| these promises should be claimed by
every organization trying to do His
/ service. Some leagues seem to be just
marking time. going through the mo-
tions of service, without any definite
aim or any clear knowledge of the rea-
son for their existence. No chapter

| is its due without the leadership of

things for league chapter. but above
all 1t will make plain the service to be
rendered.
