TODAY,S ANNIVERSARIES

Time and tide wait for no man, and
war rarely waits for men or events.
But three is on record Of war having
ceased temporarily because of pes
thence. It was on July 16, 1899 that
the great pestilence and famine broke
out which ravaged both England and
France. These nations were at that
time at war with each other and such
was the scourge, that hostilities were
suspended for d time in order that
both nations might cope with the sit
uation. A remarkably long and adj
venturous life came to an end on July
16, 1888 when George Domberger, a
soldier under Prince Eugene, died at
the age of 100 years. He married for
the first time when he was one hun
bred years old. He was a special PEN
sioner of the Emperor of Austria.
Frost in July is rare indeed, but it
was on this date in '1849 that Pitts

with it, although the day before the
thermometer had stood at ninety

POTATO. CROP TO
Be INCREASED
BY SPRAYING
Killing Late Blight and
Beetles To Insure Large
Yield.

| Washington, D. C July 16-This
year no grower in the northern States
| should overlook the chance to increase
| the potato crop by spraying. which
| Is good insurance against short
| crop. Every year the potato yield is
| reduced by preventable diseases and
insect pests; yet it may be increased
| as shown by the fact that sprayed
potato crops in Vermont, for example,
have produced on the average los
| bushels to the acre than unsprayed
crops over a period of Fl years.
| Bordeaux mixture with lead arsen-
ate added will prevent late blight and
get the potato bug. or Colorado bee
| tie, also. The mixture should be ap-
piled every two weeks, though the in
terval may be longer if the weather
is dry and no insects are present.
With the approach of the late blight
season, after the middle of July, a
| thorough protective spraying should
be given. Cool, wet weather means
trouble, according to the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Continued showers and an average
temperature around 73 degrees call
for sprays once a week, or even every
five days.
For home gardens, small hand
sprayers will do. For the farm po-
tato patch, where from one-half acre
to three acres ar grown and where
thre are orchard trees or small fruits
to be sprayed, barrel spray pump
Is recommended. This hand pump is
mounted on a fifty-gallon barrel and
carried on a homemade two wheel
cart or in farm wagon. If a, cart is
used, the nozzle may be fastened to
the back to spray four rows, but to
do good work with this as with the
lighter traction sprayers, it is neces-
sary to go twice over the field, the
second time coming bck in the OPP
position direction. More thorough
work can be done by hand spraying
if the pump is fitted with one or two
lines of IL inch hose, 25 feet long,
ending in 4-foot, gas pipe extern
SION This requires a man for each
lime and one to pump. !
| Commercial growers should provide
themselves with the most effective
traction sprayer they can get. In

A E. Edgar, author of How to

writers to go more into detail, and
give their readers something to think
about. He illustrates in the matter
of shoes. He would take up a sep
arate ad for each of his subjects; such
as fit, style, comfort. wearing quail
ties etc. He would state the detail
ed points in which superiority was
claimed Here is an illustration of
how the idea can be worked out:

on the fact that the shoes are made
with genuine sole leather inner and
outer soles, heels, counters and boxes
Others could talk about duality OF
stock, how by using perfectly tanned
leather the sweating and burning OF
the feet is avoided. Others could
feature the idea of fit. how by carry
ing a big range of sizes and widths
all feet could be fitted, Still another
could bear down on the holding OF
the shape of the shoe, accomplished
through correct lasting. There is nc

BULGARIA ONE OF
PRINCIPAL OPIUM
GROWING COUNTRIES

Rotterdam, Netherlands, July 10
Since the occupation of the Bulgar-
ian provinces of Macedonia, Bulgaria
has become one of the principal
opium-growing countries, writes the
Balkan correspondent of the Nieuwe
Rotterdam Courant.
Before the Balkan wars Turkey
was the. leading opium country in the
Levant, and Smyrna the principal
market for that article But Bulgaria
has now become a formidable com
pet1tor of Asia Minor, both as regards
quality and quantity. The opium
grown in the environs OF Uskup and
in the Tikvesh. along the Vardar
river is richer in alkaloids than the
best qualities from Anatolia.
In ordinary times the opium from
!! the Levant is exported to the Far
East. largely via Holland and Britain.
| Further, Germany chiefly draws, on
Bulgaria for the opium her chemical
industry requires for the preparation
of morphine, codeine. ETC., and Bull
garian opium thus is distributed over,
| the entire world by Germany's agency.
AS the prices obtained for opium, par
| ticularly for that exported to the. Far
| East, were comparatively high and
very remunerative, the cultivation Of
! the poppy proved in every way profit
able and was continually extending in
| the region along the Vardar suitable
! for it's growth, especially. in the
Strumnitza and Melnik districts.
About 242,oo0 pounds of opium
was harvested last year in the prov
inces under Bulgarian \administra-
ton, but this quantity can easily be.
doubled. Now that the war, and the
/ Allies blockade, has made export
oversee to the Far East impossible,
and there is consequently for the
| moment much smaller demand, a.
part Of the fields destined for poppy
cultivation this year is being used
for the cultivation of the much-need7
ed grain and peas and beans. Much
! more land still is devoted to the
! poppy than the expected opium de-
mand requires. however, this being
on account of the poppy seed. Under
present circumstances the oil to be
! won from this seed has made it of
great importance, such oil being ex-
| tremely useful not only. for Industrial
/ purposes but also for human food
Last year 500 railroad freight car
| loads of poppy seed were exported to
the Central European countries.
In Bulgaria itself the winning OF
| the oil is still done in a very clumsy
manner, whereby a great part OF the
4 oil is lost. Plans have been set on
! foot by Germans for the erection on
the spot of crushing; mills equipped
on the most modern lines.
