Disposal of Surplus-Prevention of
Waste.

"Some of the most conspicuous crop
wastes occur with fruits and vegetables,
of which, in normal years. larger guam
titles usually are grown than the produc-
ers can market proftably. Frequently
these losses are due indirectly to disease
and insect injury which lowers their
market value without reducing their food
value materially if they can be utilized
promptly by drying. canning or other
preservative methods. Under existing
conditions, every practicable step should
be taken to protect these crops through
out the season and TO utilize and pre-
serve t.em as fully as possible when they
have matured.
ITO the extent that competent labor
is available, either hired or in the fam
ilv. fruits and vegetables which ordinar-
ilv il is inadvisabl TO attempt TO con
serve should be Systematically saved for
use by canning. drying, or preserving.
These operations should not be delayed
until late summer and autumn and fam
ilv gardens should be planned to supply
ample quantities OF carly maturing small
fruits and vegetables for canning. drying
or preserving, as well as fresh products
for the table. Because OF the scarcity OF
tin plate and the high price Of tin cans,
it NAV be necessary in household pre-
servation Of food more extensively to
pack fruit and vegetables in other con-
tanners. This situation may call for new
methods Of preserving or the improve
ment and extended use of old processes
such as drying.
Surplus sweet corn If cut at the prop
or stage. can he sun dried or oven dried,
as in earlier years before systematic
canning of corn was developed, and, in
this way. be preserved for food use.

Guard Against Potato Disease.

sIn the case of the northern staple
vegetables, such as potatoes, cabbage and
onions, of which the supply is short as
the result of unfavorable climatic condi-
tions in 1916 in the commercially impor-
tant producing districts, it is considered
especially important TO reduce the risk of
waste due TO the action of insects and
disease during the growing period. With
the potato. the seed stocks of which are
low. every precaution necessary TO reduce
the risk of disease damage, including the
treatment of the seed potatoes for scab
before planting and equipment for thor
ough spraying while the crop is growing
should be taken.
"a widespread outbreak of late blight
throughout the important potato produc-
ing districts (which fortunately rarely
occurs except in restricted areas might
diminish potato production at the rate OF
1000 600 bushels day during August
and September if prolonged warm and
rainy weather should occur. This disease
can be prevented by spraying and early
preparation should be made to combat it
vigorously. Potato diseases Of prevent
able character frequently reduce the crop
bv from 50Oo0.o0o to l0o.000.0Oo bushels.
While not entirely preventable, they
should be guarded against to the fullest
extpnf possible
