Soils. which originally supported
the growth of soft woods, or mixed
grwth lands" developed the diseased
condition in its most severe type,
while the hardwood ridges showed it
least or not at all. The trouble ap-
peared first in swales or lowlands,
where the natural drainage was not
so good as on the higher ridge land.
When the disease appeared at all on
the higher ground, it was of less
severe type.
Specific fungi are frequently found
on the stems ofthe collapsing plants,
and some of these most constantly
seen belong to disease-producing
groups. Their relation to the trouble
is being investigated, but the present
indications suggest that they are not
the primary cause but have attack
ed the plants already seriously weak
ened by other agencies.
Fertilizer experiments in progress
on affected fields demonstrated that
the plots receiving potash showed
little or no signs of the trouble, even
where the other plots were entirely
dead. Stable manure also held the
disease almost in complete control.
Investigations of the trouble by
the present indications are that it is
due to insufficient potash, or, per-
haps, in some soils at least, to an
excess of nitrates in the presence of
minimum potash supply. Farmers
who are unable to secure potash fer
tilizer for their potato fields but who
have stable manure may insure their
crops against attack by its use. Ir
sections where certain types of soil
have been observed to suffer from
the disease under discussion, and il
is advisable to plant POTATOES on
these types next year, it is strongly
recommended that potash fertilizers
or stable manure be applied if either
are obtainable.

the country about Greenville. OF
the $4,000 voted in Eureka, $500
was specified for the improvement of
the road south to the county line and
with the money promised by the
Greenville Good Roads association
and the state reward to be returned
for this work, this is deemed suffi-
cient to make the road complete Ia

A potato disease appearing on
certain soils and apparently associ-
ated with the lack Of potash in the
commercial fertilizers used was pre-
valent last summer in various sec
tons of the East. According to
specialists of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry, United States Department of
. Agriculture, the trouble was largely
controlled by the use of stable man
use. The disease may be expected to
appear again with increased sever
ity during the coming season in many
potato-growing sections, from Maine
to Virginia and probably also far
Their south. 1t was first noted in
scattered fields in 1915 In 1916 1T
became serious and general over con-
siderable areas. Last year the disease
was first observed late in June in
Maryland and Virginia, and during
the latter part of July in Maine. The
affected plants first develop a down.
ward rolling of the leaf margins,
accompanied by a peculiar bronzing
of the surface, sometimes mistaken
for spray injury. Since it occurs on
unsprayed as we'll as no sprayed
plants, it can not be due to the cor
rosive action of sprays. The foliage
gradually turns brown-not yellow
and the plants ripen prematurely.
Death of the leaves and sudden
collapse of the stems at the ground
level follow. The yield, of course,
is much reduced.
The disease is found more COM
monty on fields of early-maturing
varieties, but is not restricted TO
them. 1t also appears first on early
planted fields.
What is more striking is the very
apparent association of the trouble
with certain soil types, at least in
Maine, where this relation, as well as
other features of the trouble, are be-
ing investigated by the department
experts in cooperation with the

This article is addressed to those
who wish to compete against the
high cost of living by raising some of
their own food. There are a great
many who always have a home gar
den, but there are also large num-
Der who prefer to spend their spare
time in a quiet shady place and let
the other fellow sweat. AT the pres
ent prices for food products and in
view of the war situation it seems
that we should all devote every
energy to the production of food.
The vacant lot and backyard offer an
ideal place for practicing this idea
and requires no large capital to start:
In order to have successful
home garden it is necessary before
hand to do a little planning as to
the arrangement and contents of the
garden. When laying out the gar
den it is best to have the COWS run
from north to south as this lets the
sun get between the rows.
A good idea is to draw to scale a
plan of the garden and then figure
out just what we are to plant and
how much of each vegetable. If
this is done we will have an orderly
looking garden but if we wait until
planting time and then put in few
peas here and few squash over there
and so on, we will have jumbled
mass that will more resemble vege-
table soup than a vegetable garden.
At the south of the plot group the
smaller plants, onions, lettuce, rad
ishes, beets, spinach, carrots, par
ships, etc. By putting the smaller
vegetables to the south the sun is
not shut off from the northern part.

Montcalm Township Votes North
Road

With the north two miles of road
of the township of Montcalm and the
south mile of the township of Eure-
ka provided for at town meetings
held Monday, the first complete cross
county state reward highway has
been built or authorized Road build
ing, like any other Improvement, in
flicts temporary burden which ul-
timately brings back increased re-
turns. Like many other townships in
Montcalm, the township of Mont
calm has been bearing its proportion
of the burden of road improvement
in its township, but the north two
miles connecting with the township
of Pine was an especially expensive
stretch, with farms only slightly
improved and benefits small to the
township, but of more benefit to the
sections above and to the city of
Greenville. The city, realizing this
fact, set the machinery in motion
through the Greenville Development
association, to raise $1,000 and offer
it to the township of Montcalm if
that township would build the above
named two miles.

OF all things that vegetables need
the most important is sunlight.
If there is a spot rather shaded,
plant it to onions, lettuce or radishes
rather than to corn, tomatoes, cab
bages, potatoes or beans. These
latter vegetables may be planted on
the north side of the garden. Then
in a place where the sun shines all
day have the cucumbers and melons.
To add to the attractiveness of the
garden plant row of flowers along
the border fronting on the yard.
Then if there is an unsightly back
fence or back view it may be shut
off by vine trained on the fence or
by row of sunfiowers or hollyhocks.
The rule in planting is that the
smaller the plant the closer the rows.
Always grade the plants so the
smallest are nearest the east and
west. Don't plant in beds. 1t wastes
/ space and during hot weather dries
the soil. Plant everything in rows
If you don't want whole row of one
thing fill it out with something else.
Don't plant in the same rows late
maturing vegetables, potatoes, toma-
toes, corn with such early maturing
vegetables as set onions. lettuce,
radishes, etc.
The plan given shows the proper
arrangement and distance between
the rows. Otherwise the plan is
merely suggestive and should be al
tered to meet the needs and tastes of
the individual family.
You who figure on having a gar
den this year had better measure up
your ground and start planning now.
Don't ENVY good garden, get busy
] and HAVE one.

The Secret of Successful Egg
Feeding

The Secret of Successful Egg
Feeding
OF human foods, the egg is classed
with those having the high protein
content. In fact, it is one of the chief
protein foods for human consumption.
The hen is valuable to man chiefly
because she is the producer of this
valuable food product While it is
true that she has been developed
from a wild game fowl to an egg
machine, the results obtained from
the average flock of chickens show
that this machine is not being work
ed to its full capacity, even though
the desire of everyone raising chick
ems is to keep them busy laying eggs.
The conclusion one must reach in
regards to these poor results is that
somewhere the management is not
right. Close investigation will show
that the method Of feeding is most
often at fault 1t is an indisputable
fact that we cannot make gold out
of dross, or anything but gold. IT.
is just as unreasonable to think that
we can bake a highly concentrated
protein product as the egg out of a
ration that is utterly lacking in that
matter. This is the cause of most
of the poor results in egg produc-
ton.
Feeds rich in protein are the most
expensive, while those containing a
large percent of starch, the grains,
are the kind most commonly grown
on the farm. These feeds, being so
handy, are fed to the hens in too
large proportions to produce good re-
suits in egg production, as a proper
balance between these two kinds of
feed is absolutely necessary for good
results.
In the summer the hen balances
the starch feeds by eating insects
and worms, if she is allowed Ter free
dom, but in winter the protein must
be supplied. Feeds which will fur
nish the protein are meat, milk and
bone. OF these, the first two are so
useful for other purposes that the
hen usually stands little chance of
getting any, but fresh bone, or green
bone, as it is usually called, is in
most cases a waste, or is sold very
cheaply by butchers for fertilizer
purposes, and is one of the best pro-
tein foods for poultry. 1t can be
procured from almost any butcher
for a nominal price, often for moth
ing, and if ground and fed to the
chickens at the rate of a half ounce
per day will accomplish wonders in
egg production.
There are two precautions neces.
sary in the use of green bone foI
poultry feeding. One is to select un.
contaminated bone from fresh meat
That from sailed meat will not do

Subscription papers have been cir
culated and up to the time of the
town meeting, which was held on
Monday last, over 5000 had been
subscribed. With this assurance
twelve business men attended town
meeting and through it's designated
spokesman made a little talk at the
session, and exhibited the signed PEI
tition and pledged the city business
men to give $1,000 to the road. Tho
voters accepted the proposition in the
true spirit with which it was offered
and proceeded forthwith to authorize
the raise of the money for that pur-
pose. Only one voter offered the
suggestion that only one mile be
built this year, but this met with
seemingly unanimous disapproval.
Then Chairman Oscar Skinner, after
the question had been fully discussed,
asked for hands up for all in favor
Of the proposition and it seemed as
though the hall, which was packed,
was full of hands. There was only
one small hand in opposition and that
was the hand of Allie Martin, but as
he had offered work last year, be-
side a willingness to pay his proper
ton of the taxes necessary, no one
believed he meant what he voted.

sentials is that the bone is ground
fine enough to permit of easy assimi-
lation by the hen. To do this there
is nothing better than the bone cut
tiers advertised in the poultry
columns.
Dry bone is also good for poultry
feed if put through a bone cutter.
Both fresh and dry bone, besides fur
nishing valuable protein feed, are
rich in mineral matter so necessary
in the formation of the egg shell.
A hen which laid an egg every day
for three years, except for a vacation
of ten days during Lent last year, has
been sold to clergyman. He had
accepted call to another church and
was forced to part with his chickens.
After they had been sold he was
struck with remorse and felt guilty
because he had sold the hen which had
faithfully provided him with a fresh
egg for breakfast daily. The hen
had worked for him and he rewarded
her efforts for his comfort by selling
her, without thought for her COM
fort. So guilty did the preacher feel
that he was i'll and unable to occupy
his pulpit last Sunday. A hen that
has laid an egg every day for three
years should be worth her weight in
gold and it is strange that her cleri-
cal owner was willing to part with
her.
