RECORD TO BE PROUD OF.

I NDER the present Republican administration
~ in West Virginia, there has been paid to the
injured, the widows and orphans of the men
injured in the mines and workshops of the state,
$1,2o0,000, divided as follows: widows 635; chill
dren, !,l27; dependent parents, 200; permanently
injured, 495.
Not one cent of this big sum was collected from

MANTHLY REVIEW OF COUNTY
81 AGENT WORK IN IDAHO
Potato Growers Convinced.

IN Thirty potato growers of the Deer
Flat section, which is becoming noted
FOR it's fine potatoes, became convinced
'that the control of potato diseases can
be made effectual and profitable.
These men attended a demonstration
meeting August 2S, called by County
agent Mccall on the farm of Charles
Dellion who has been conducting some
q cry successful demonstrations for
'the county agent. Here the sections
planted with selected and treated seed
were a fine object lesson, when o N
with the adjoining field, plant
I'd in the usual manner
Treatment Least Part.
Mr.. Oellion told the farmers of the
Fmethods used, emphasizing that the
Treatment with corrosive sublimate is
the least part of the program which
Et is necessary to follow to have good
potatoes. He urged all growers to
practice hill selection in the fall of di-
ssease free potatoes; to use strong uni
form potatoes; more careful cultural
methods; and advised every grower
to have his own seed plot.
Experts Smile.
E. P. Taylor and his successor, Z.
II. Bennett, potato specialists, togeth-
er with Miss NJ. Willis, pathologist of
the university Of Idaho, we're present
at the meeting. They did not have to
argue, however, for rational methods
at This meeting. The object lesson
shown by the demonstration field was
worth a thousand arguments. That
is one great feature of the work of the
county agent. His demonstrations do
the talking and really convince the
farmers.
Thresher Explosions Prevented.
From Lewis county A. f. Wade re-
ports that he held a very successful
demonstration at Ilo-Vollmer, August
18th in preventing fires in threshers.
This was made possible through the
cooperation OF the university Of Idaho
and the United States department Of
asricult0e. A fire was generated in
a sey41&tor and this quickly extin-
guished by the automatic fire extin-
guisher devised by Elmer Johnson of

the department.

the department.
There were about 225 persons pre-
sent and of these rs or more were men
who operated threshing outfits of their
own. AS a result several made ar
rangements to have the apparatus in
stalled in their machines, while at a
similar demonstration held at Moscow
orders were given a local firm for the
installation of eight automatic ex-
tinguishers. This demonstration re-
ceived a great deal of favorable COM
mendation.
Can Prevent Large Smut Losses.
Following the demonstration, the
county agent gave a lecture on the
prevention of smut, making the fol
lowing recommendations.
Experience has shown that the great
est difficulty in controlling smut arises
because the soil is infected at harves'
time. If this danger Is avoided by
early seeding, the weather conditions
later will have little effect, II proper
ly treated and clean seed is sown.
Where 1t is impossible to SOW be
fore harvest, the smut infection car
be prevented in a measure on observ'
ing the following: .
a. The danger of infection is Sigh
If the average temperature at seeding
time is above IS degrees or under thir.
ty-five.
b. Seeding from four to six week:
after the fall rains begin will tent
to reduce the danger from infection
9. Seeding Immediately after fal
blowing will tend to reduce smut,
d. Disking after the first fall rains
and seeding thereafter within a few
days is likely to produce a larg'
amount Of smut.
e. BY seeding in wet ground from
the middle OF September to the middl,
Of October, the danger from smut II
greatly increased.
AS a result OF the demonstration
and talks, over 1900 acrse of whea
were sown before harvest this year II
