A POTATO DISEASE
FARMERS WORRIED

Potato growers from different parts
of the state have sent in inquiries as
to the cause of injuries caused the
potato crop. From. the information
received, D. G. Milbreath of the North
Dakota Experiment Station believes
that in many cases it is caused bv the
brown stem rot. Regarding the symp-
toms and of which he has the
following to say:
"The symptoms of Brown Stem rot
are rotting of the seed piece, rottinp
of the basal stem or leg of the vine
from which a Shiny ooze flows on pull
ling, blackish-brown color of the leg,
following of the stem, decay of the
pith and discoloration of the inside of
the stem up to the tip of the plant,
leaf-rolllng upwards and final yellow
ing. This disease is not the Black-leg
found commonly in southern states"
POTATOES grown on such diseased
vines are affected. Usually, at the
stem end a wet rot sets in early in
the field. Frequently, apparently
sound potatoes will be found rotted
entirely in the interior"
Brown stem rot of potatoes is
caused by a bacterium which enters
the vines by way of the seed piece
and the basal portion of the stem.
Weather conditions such as frost and
excessive moisture, and mechanical
injuries such Is bruises by the knives
of c%ultivators make it possible for the
bacteria to enter the seed piece and
leg Of the vine.
The symptoms of the disease fol-
lowing entrance of the germ are
such as to lead many potato growers
to believe that insects such as worms
and borers have caused the condition
of the vines. The work of insects
can be detected very readily by the
dryness of the stem and the w-dust
like remains of the animal in the hol-
lowed portion of the stem. In the
vast majority of cases, insects have
had very little to do with the pres
ent condition of many potato fields in
the state.
In case of fields of potatoes at
tackled by this disease the crop
should be harvested as soon as fit to
dig, should be stored in a cold, dry
place, and should be consumed as
early as possible. The crop should
not be allowed to remain in the
ground until rainy weather sets in.
Storage under 46 degrees F. will pre-
vent much of the rot.
Fields on which this disease has
appeared should be planted for at
least five years to other crops, since
the disease is carried by insects, such
pests should be avoided, particularly
wire worms, nematodes and eel
worms found in grass lands. The
disease can be spread from field to
field by seed potatoes. For this reas-
on potatoes designed for planting
should be sorted over several times at
intervals of several weeks, all sus-
picious tubers being rejected. Much
time and money can be saved by
careful picking of potatoes in the
field at harvest time. It will pay to
lay off a portion of a field and carry
on hand digging and selection of seed
for next years crop.-From Informa-
ton Service N. D. Experiment Sta

SULLY CROSSING REPAIRED

E. D. Peck of Fryburg Township
informs us that the road between
Sully Springs and Fryburg has been
worked and the creek just east of the
station at Sully bridged with a
twenty-four foot wooden bridge.
This will be good news to automobile
owners and drivers throughout the
country, for the passage of this mud
hole has been at all times uncertain
and frequently impossible.
AS soon as the township gets the
dangerous hill fixed just west of the
C. F. Will place, they have made a
good road, passable at all time, run
ming through the entire township
east and west.
Medora Township has also done
considerable work on the east road,
the entire stretch from Medora to
Sully Creek having been worked and
graded. With the same amount of
advancement in the next two years as
in the two past, we will have roads
to be proud of.-Medora Herald.

last even official Washington is get
ting wise to the foxy old Red Cross,
according to straight information
from the capital. It has been discover
ed that information obtained through
consular agents doesn't tally with the
stories given out by the Red Cross.
OF course Washington officials would
not dare accuse the Red Cross of
wilfully taking, because President
Wilson is honorary president of the
Red Cross-but they politely say they
believe someone has been slipping it
over" on the Red Cross Such tragic
innocence.
Not long ago an appeal for funds
was sent out from this city by the
Red Cross. The men who signed that
appeal were: Jacob H. Schiff, of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., international bank
ers; Cleveland H. Dodge, of the Phelp
Dodge Co., copper kings; John NJ
Glen, of the Russell Sage Foundation.
The largest contributors, in re-
Spouse to this appeal, we're the Phelp
Dodge Co, and the Greene Cananea
Copper Co.
Both of these companies have
large copper interests in Mexico. They
both grind Mexican labor to the limit.
They both look longingly for the day
when stable government" for profit
makers comes in Mexico. They like
to be free to hire men as cheaply as
starving men will work, and they
want to be free to break strikes at
any time and in any way they find
most convenient"
So there are those who think it not
at all strange that some of the Red
Cross stories coming from Mexico are
lurid. But what Washington officials
will do about it remains to be seen.

This is an effort to make them hear.
1t is religion putting off its dignity
and getting down to a low shed and
a sawdust carpet. Its purpose is not
bad and it's method is correct. 1t
lacks only a MESSAGE.
The message, however, cannot come
from the old religion and be imposed
upon the common life. 1t must spring
up out of the common life itself. So
far as humanity is concerned, genu-
inc revival comes not from the upper
crust, but from the foundation .stra-
tum of human life. The message of
the new and genuine revival must be
out of the, heart of the common life
itself
Therefore the new evangelism will
take sides with the toilers in their
struggle. 1t will not always be ask
ing how good" or how worthy" they
are. 1t will instinctively voice the
CAUSE of the workers.
The uprising Of the toilers is itself
the spiritual event of the hour. Their
spontaneous demand for justice is the
elemental spiritual fact. The real
spiritual awakening will be here when
the cause of the workers finds it's own
shed and its own sawdust floor.
When the comman man hits the
sawdust trial" only to discover later
that he has merely affiliated himself
with the religious stand-patters, he is
disillusioned and disappointed. But
when the day shall come that his
spiritual decision shall mean that, like
Jesus. he has taken sides with the
last" and least" member of society,
then shall spiritual heroism return to
the earth.
Such a revival will be union" be-
cause itW i'll unite not the Protestants
but all the forces that make for
working class emancipation and stand
for human justice. It will have Mis-
SION as well as emotion. 1t will think
as well as sing. 1t will bring the
workers to self-respect, because it
will reveal to them that their own
cause is the CALL OF GOD in this
crisis Of human history.

Reports From Mexico

more after this, will they?" said a
small actor after the child labor
pageant given at the eleventh annual
conference on child labor in San
Francisco on May %. While this
pageant, written by Mrs. George
Hough Perry and staged on the ex-
position grounds, may not have justi-
fed in the minds of adults the optim-
ism of the child, it did strike the note Of
hopefulness that prevailed throughout
the meetings and it demonstrated the
community's interest in the confer
ence. An appeal to the West to pro-
hibit child labor before it has foot
hold there was the main theme of the
addresses. DR.. Felix Adler, of New
York, chairman of the National Child
Labor Committee, touched the heart
of the matter when he pointed out
that child labor has always been a
by-product of the change from an
agricultural to an Industrial commun-
ity. By the law of recurrence it has
appeared in every part of the world
going through that change. It APP
peared in England and our eastern
states during such time of change;
it is now at it's height in the South
during similar change; and it will
appear in the West unless it is fore.
stalled, DR.. Adler said. The West,
realizing the national significance of
wasted childhood andt he commun-
ity's responsibility toward each in
dividual child, can prevent the recur-
renee of child labor there if it will. .
