fusion as to inheritance of characters
The tuber grows at the end of a short
underground stem of which it is an
enlarged portion. Our commonly cul
hvated varieties seldom blossom and
produce seed, and this method OF re.
production is not employed except by
potato-breeding specialists. The proper
method for the poSaLo grower is to Sc.
lect tubers from the best plants, al
ways starting with the best variety
possible to secure.
Selection for disease resistance may
and should be practiced This cannot
be done with entire satisfaction unless
the soil is badly infested with diseases,
a condition which the practical grower
should avoid. Blights and rots may be
overcome to a certain extent In this
manner. Some varieties show greater
resistance than others and should be
grown when any disease is prevalent.
Treatment of the seed and spraying Of
the vines are more effective IL the
work is well done. II would be desir.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am 10 years
old and have been keeping steady COM
pany with a fellow four years my
senior. Almost every time he called
to see me he took me places and | en-
joyed being in his company, for he
was a gentleman and certainly treated
me with respect. He went with girl
about year ago and was engaged to
her, but she turned him down for an
other fellow. 1t seems he cannot for
get her and he is continually talking
about her when in my company. He
has told me how much he thought of
me, too. 1t seems strange, for ii he
thinks as much of me as he said can
not understand why he talked so much
about his other girl. It made me very
angry and l told him not to call any
more. l also thought by telling him
not to call anymore could test his
love for me. If he really cares for me
l think he would write and explain
things or call me up. l think a great
deal Of him and l wish to ask your
advice LONESOME.
A man likes a girl or he wouldn't
seek her company. The man Of whom
you speak probably loves the other
girl, but likes you and enjoyed your
| company. His feelings are in super
sensitive state just now because of his
recent disappointment. When you told
him not to call again he probably felt
that it was merely another indication
that he was not pleasing to girls. While
he is so sensitive you cannot expect
him to disregard what you said and
come in spite of it. When you meet
him be just as pleasant as ever and act
as though nothing had happened. For
you to do anything further, it seems
to me, would be unwise He was very
tactless to talk to you about the other
girl and you were justified in resent
ing it.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: There is boy
in town that my father wants me to &c
with. He thinks great deal of me
and l think the same of him. One of
my girl friends is crazy about him and
l feel awfully bad. She is IA and he
is 20. 1t is all right for me to go with
him? BLONDY.
