Of Potatoes Destroyed

Threaten Serious Short

WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-Potato
blight. combined with unfavorable
weather conditions and the shortage OF
fertilizer, due to the war, has cut the
estimated harvest OF tubers by fifty
million bushels and threatens serious
scarcity this winter.
The Department Of Agriculture to-
day gave out figures showing that prac-
tically every potato producing state
has been affected BY the blight, and
that Maine. New York and Pennsyl-
vania, the three leading states in pro-
ducing this food, are % per cent be-
hind the normal number Of bushels
stored this fall.
The situation is aggravated. ohclals
Of the department say, by the fact that
quantities of potatoes affected with dry
rot have been stored in warehouses, to-
gether with healthy tubers.
DR.. W. A. Orton, chief of the Di-
vision of Truck Vegetable Diseases,
who has just returned TO Washington
from investigating the potato situation
in several localities, said that careless
ness on the part OF the farmers in neg
lecting preventive spraying, an excep-
tionally wet summer and dry fall and
the impossibilty of obtaining adequate
fertilizers are the principal causes for
the shortage

Miss Rosita Renard Gives
Another Piano Recital
in Aeolian Hall

Miss Rosita Renard, the young
Chilean pianist whose recital last year
proclaimed to New York a new talent
at once poetic and virile, gave another
recital yesterday afternoon at Aeolian
Hall, and by her beautiful playing
proved that her gift is no mere fash
in the pan.
Though exceedingly young, her work
gave every evidence of maturity Of
outlook, combined with a delightfully."-
youthful dash, dash most evident in
the two Chopin mazurkas.
1t was perhaps in her Chopin group,
in the mazurkas, the nocturne and the
two etudes that she was most effective,
her sense Of rhythm and of nuance OF
color being worthy Of the highest
praise.
Yet her Interpretation Of the Bee
thoven sonata, Op. 109 was also Of a
high order, dignifed and instinct with
musical feeling.
Miss Renard comes 70 US early in the
season. but her coming. whenever she
NAV choose to make It, will be welcome
always.
She is an artist who is personal with
out exageeraton and who ought to go
far. A large audience welcomed her
with fine enthusiasm.

A Contest in Thrift
Weekly Reports Will Show
Each Housewife What Others
Are Doing to Aid u. S.

As part Of the national campaign for
ton Of Herbert Hoover, head OF the
United States food administration,
church organizations throughout the
country have arranged 10 make weekly
reports on the quantities OF food saved
in the homes of members. Plans for
the work have been perfected. Reports
will begin the week of October 2S.
Cards are being distributed among
the members Of each church organiza-
tion. On them appear the names OF
the church, the city and the state.
Then follow blank spaces to indicate
the number of wheatless, meatless and
wastelcss meals during the week. There
is room for the signature, and the
cards are TO be collected at church each
Sunday.
The church campaign was organized
by George A. Cullen, passenger traffic
manager of the Lsckawanna Railroad,
which loaned him to the government
last summer at the request of Mr.
Hoover. Discussing the work he has
Just completed, Mr.. Cullen said the
ultimate success of the plan was as
sured from the moment the enthusiastic
and prompt response of church Off
cials left no doubt Of the success OF
the plan.
at was thought best" he said, "to
confer with each denomination sepa-
rately. These conferences extended
throughout July and August. The chief
difficulty was 10 find q way TO procure
team work. An individual. working
alone and with no means of knowing
how much or how little good his or her
necessarily small contribution might
do, would easily lose interest. BY in
stituting a system of weekly report
cards. which would enable the COM
mittee from each church TO total the
weekly results. we think we have sur
mounted the difficulty. Now each house
wife will be able to see every week
that the organization OF which she is
an integral part is doing something
really worth while.
The churches Of America" Mr.. Gull
len added. "are rising IN noble fashion
to the great opportunity presented FOR
definite accomplishment along one Of
the most difficult problems with which
the nation has to deal 1t is the opin-
ion Of all those connected with the
work OF the food administration that
when the results begin to come in the
nation will be astonshed. The churches
will prove Of incstimable help in en-
abling America to ship to her allies
and TO her own soldiers food absolutely
