SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO MAKE DONATION
TO THE CHARITIES
Contributed

A beautiful custom IS that which
the public schools established many
years ago of bringing to school the
Wednesday before Thanksgiving gifts
for the poor. This is fitting cele-
bration of the American holiday. and
wonderful lesson in thoughtfulness
and thankfulness for these children
of ours. Every year the vestibule of
the Grammar school is piled high wtth
potatoes, flour, sugar, coffeel nuts,
fruits canned goods and these pra3-
teal contributions are distributed to
the best advantage by the Associated
Charities.
This year the Furlow Grammar
school will have an interesting
Thanksgiving and patriotic program
to which the public is invited. Ceres,
the Goddess of the Harvest. will be
represented by Miss Lolita Physioc.
and in a triumphant grand march. the
gifts will be presented to her in such
abundant measure that the horn of
plenty" will overflow in fact.
1t had been hoped that a sufficient
amount Of money would have been
secured by Thanksgiving Day to or
ganize the schools as junior auxilia-
ries to the Red Cross. The annual
due for each child are Csc. and we are
yeet a little short of the required hu1
of $133.75, which is necessary to or

hooked to regular trotting carts, and
they will doubtless interest the spec

Mr. Ansley, and Florence Thorne will

CONTROL OF POTATO DISEASES.

Potato growing is an important
industry of Oregon and is generally
a profitable one. The acreage in po-
tatoes, however, and the average
yield per acre have been decreasing
during recent years, particularly in
certain sections of the State where
the soil diseases have ben especially
prevalent, for this decrease in the
production of potatoes has been very
largely due to disease. The compare
lively rapid increase in the number
Of diseases affecting potatoes, is due
in part to the continuous culture of
potatoes on the same land for per-
iod of several years. This unfortunate
practice furnishes excellent condi
tions for the propagation of the COM
mon diseases and for the origination
of new ones.
GENERAL CONTROL MEASURES.
1t is fortunate that practically all
of the diseases attacking the potato
can be successfully controlled by
comparatively simple and inexpensive
measures. 1t should be borne in mind
that the control of these diseases
DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON PREVEN-
TION AND NOT ON CURE. If, for
instance, potato leaf is infected
with blight, it can not be cured of
the disease, although the spread of
this disease to other leaves or other
plants can be prevented by spraying
properly.

WHEELER STO'KMAN
STRONG FOR BONDS
r. j. Carsner Says This Is the One
Opportunity For Oregon To In
itiate A Constructive Road
Building Program.

R. ]. Carsner, prominent Wheeler
county tockman who has been
spending several days in Heppner on
business. is a strong supporter Of
the road bonding bill.
This is great opportunity for Ore
gon to begin constructive road
building program according to Mr..
Carsner's belief. Oregon has drib-
bled away millions of dollars under
the old system and we are but very
little better off that we were in the
beginning" said Mr.. Carsner. Here
is interior Oregon from Wheeler
county to the Nevada line, comprising
an area larger than the state of Penn
sylvania and more than twice as large
Belgium, without a main highway.
"The present condition of what
few roads there are in that territory
is lamentable and the system Of
past years has made no improve
| ment.
II am surprised that the state or
CARNATIONS of farmers, the Grange
and Farmers Union, should be oppo-
sed to the bond bill, inasmuch as
there will be no increased taxation
so far as the farmer is concerned and
the increased automobile tax will
have to be paid whether the bond
measure passes or not. This is the
first time in their history that the
State Grange has had an opportunity
to 60 on rcord. and it lines up against
that which is of such vital Importance
to every member of the organization. y
Mr.. Carsner owns large ranch
in Wheeler county, and the passage
of the bonding measure will effect his
property only in an indirect way, but
he says he can plainly see the bene-
fits to be derived from the new road
plan to be inaugurated and therefore
he is working for the ultimate sue
cess of that plan.

tain of the leaf diseases such as late
blight or early blight, spraying of the
potato plants must frequently be re-
sorted to. For this purpose Bordeaux
mixture has proved to be the most
efficient spray mixture used, of
which the following formula is most
frequently employed and is apparent
ly best for potatoes:
Copper sulfate (Bluestone) -
pounds
Lump lime pounds
Water so gallons
This is briefly and commonly ex-
pressed as $3.50 Bordeaux. A
weaker solution such as $3.50, may
often be used with good results if it
is thoroughly applied.
Early Blight.-Early blight attacks
only the potato leaves, causing brown
spots thereon, which as they enlarge
develop concentric rings or markings,
producing a target" effect. When
the spots are numerous, they kill the
leaves with consequent reduction
in the yield of the potatoes. In con-
trast to late blight this disease de-
velops best in warm dry weather.
It is not serious in this State but
where present can be successfully pre-
vented by thorough and timely spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Tip Burn.-Tip burn is drying
and dying Of the leaves, beginning
at the tips and margins and working
inward. The leaves often roll and
