NOTES ON DUCK RAISING.

The drinking vessels should be deep
enough SO that the duck or duckling
can get its head in the water.
In driving ducks, go about it slowly,
as they are weak In the legs and
cannot stand undue excitement.
Ducks allowed bathing are not 80
apt to overfatten on account of the
exercise they take in the water.
ALLOW no excitement about the
duck runs. as both old and young
are Of a nervous disposition and easily
frightened.

roll those temporary conditions which
give rise to q similar appearance Of
the plants.
All those who are best acquainted
with the trouble agree as to the re-
suits Of planting diseased seed stock.
This point Is one Of capital impor-
lance in the control Of the disease
and of great interest in its bearing on
the nature Of the disease. That leaf
roll Is not communicable from dis
eased to healthy plants is the conclu-
sion to be drawn from all available
evidence.
The occurrence of spots or necks
on potato leaves Is not an In
variable symptom of leaf-roll, but 10
often observed In connection with 1t,
particularly in the severer types Of
leaf-roll. Small. dark-brown flecks In
the tissues of the. terminal leaves,
generally between the veins, have
been found on plants not attacked by
leaf-rot. These spots are apparently
free from fungi and are believed to
be due to physiological causes.
The hypothesis as to the cause of
ieaf-roll are numerous. but exceed
ingly varied. They have only one
point in oommon-that all are as
yet improved. It has been argued by
one that leaf-roll results from the use
Of unripe tubers for seed: by another.
that it is due to the employment of
matured tubers for seed: while q third
believes that, seed from prematurely
ripened plants Is q cause Of leaf-roll.
The disease is attributed by some to
lack Of mineral elements in the soil.
while others advance evidence that It
10 caused by an oversupply of these
Same mineral elements. Poor Gull
tural methods. lack Of seed selection.
and v>sietal degeneration are other
suggested causes.

quest of w. J. Bryan, at that time

DALLAS WANTS CONVENTION
Texas City Just About Determined
That Democrats Shall Meet !
There Next Year

Dallas Texas is the bidder for the
Democratic National Convention Of
1916. In, fact, Dallas is rather deter
mined to land that convention if
bidding and political influence amount
to anything.
Postmaster General Burleson, At
torney General Gregory and Cato
Sells, Indian Commissioner, lare
among Government officials said to
favor the Texas city and this gives
Dallas. much hope.
Fifteen members of the National
Committee, which selects the con-
vention city, are alleged to DE par
tial to Dallas. Robert Galbreath,
committeeman from Tulsa, Okla. (,
which is comparatively near Dallas,
is now in Washington and thinks
eventually there will be majority
vote for the city of the Southwest.
Dallas has never had the Demo-
cratic National Convention ard
naturally she can't get the Repub-
lican convention but her mission
aries say she is anxious to entertain
the hosts of Democracy and intends
to put in stiff bid at the proper
time.
