Every year there is marked in

it is noticeable that when a family

usually with a family or two Of
friends or neighbors.
And finally, a feature of the OZARK
region that should c'inch the argu.

THE POTATO SCAB Is
NOT HARD TO CONTROL
Crop Rotation, Clean Fertilizer, ana
Treatment of Seed Are Effee-
tive Measures. n

Among the troubles with which the
grower of Irish potatoes has TO con-
tend is the disease commonly known
as potato scab. This disease affects
the tubers themselves, and not only
makes the potatoes unsightiy but de-
creases the yield.
The potato scab is not a difficult
disease to control, and an expenditure
of few cents and a few hours time
previous to planting the seed will
practically make certain that the crop
will be free of this disease. In order
to accomplish this, three things must
be considered.
% Practice Crop Rotation. Pota.
toes should not be grown In q field
that produced a crop Of scabby pota-
toes the previous year. In some sec
tions Of the country the disease will
live over from one year to the next in
the soil. To avoid possible infection
from the soil 1t is always best to 70
tate the crops. After field has grown
potatoes for one year, it should be
planted in other crops for a couple OF
years until any of the scab infection
that may have been present in the
soil has had sufficient time to be
killed.
(2) Do Not Use Infected Fertilizer.
It sometimes happens that when a
grower has scabby potatoes he feeds
them to his stock Many OF the po-
tatoes will become mixed with the ma
nure and later find their way back
to the fields. II potatoes are planted
on land on which this manure has
been spread, a diseased crop is very
likely to be the result. Only fertiliz-
err should be used that is known to
be free of any infection.
(3) Treat All Potatoes With For.
maIdehyde Before Planting. The
greatest source of infection comes
from the seed that is used for plant.
ing. The disease remains alive in the
scabby spots on the tubers, and consc'
luently if scabby potatoes are used
for planting without treatment, 1t is
more than likely that scabby crop
will develop. A large part of the seed
sold in this state are more or less af
fected with the scab disease. In a
number of instances that have come
to our attention, potatoes have beer
shipped here for planting that were
so badly affected with the scab thai
they would not have been salable fol-
eating purposes. It is probably i'm
possible to buy seed and be absolutely
sure that no scab is present, but it ia
possible to buy seed that do not have
an excessive amount of the disease.
II only a small amount of scab l!
present on potatoes it can be largely
: removd by treating them with for
, maldehyde (formalin) solution. It Il
always best to give seed potatoes this
treatment whether any scab is visible
or not, as a small amount Of the dis
ease is likely to be overlooked. The
formaldehyde can be obtained at al
most any drug store. 1t can usually
be obtained in sealed pound bottles a.
very moderate cost. 1t should b,

CONTROL HUMAN GROWTH
Scientist Isolatcs Tcthciin, Which
Produces Stature.

BERKELEY, Cal, Jan. 10. -
Scientists at the University of Cal
ifornia have discovered the substance
that produces growth in the human
body, 1t was announced today Tethe-
lin is what they call It; 1t Is located
in the pituitory body at the base of
the brain and by retarding or ac-
celebrating It's functions 1t may be pos
sihle. according to the Berkely scien-
lists. to control the stature of human
beings.
Announcement OF the discovery
was made by DR. T. Il. Robertson,
professor OF biochemstry, who said
that he had succeeded in isolating
tethelln and that he believed it was
the first time in the history of bio
logical science that II had been done.
Doctor Robertson said that his ex-
periments covered n period of four
years and that the ultimate impor-
tance OF the discoveries made by
him and his assistants could not be
estimated at this time.
