SEED POTATOES
STATE BOTANISTS WILL AID THE
FARMERS OF THE STATE.

Brookings. March State col
lege botanists propose to assist farm
ers by examining seed potatoes for
disease and offering suggestions for
proper treatment. Any farmer who
suspects that his tubers are affected
with scab, late blight or dry rot can
write to Prof. Christy Michel for the
tags which will permit free shipment
If diseased samples.
Relative to planting seed potatoes
free from disease Prof. Michel says.
1T is a we'll known act that po-
tatoes taken from fields where late
blight. scab or dry ROT We're present
may carry these diseases over the
winter and be the source of new in
fections the following year,
"Scab of potatoes is on the outside
and may be easily recognized If the
potato is slightly affected. Even the
spores or seed like bodies may be
present on the potato. These spores
will of course start the disease II
planted with the healthy tuber.
"Scab is killed by soaking the po-
tatoes for two hours in a solution of
one pint of formaldehyde to thirty
gallons of water.
Late blight and dry rot of pota-
toes cannot be seen oil the outside.
but occur within the potato and do
not yield TO formaldehyde treat
ment. In the early stages of late
blight and dry rot their presence can
be told with certainty only by the aid
OF the microscope"

MERCHANT BOOSTERS
SPEAKER AT SIOUN CITY SHORT
COURSE TALKS STRAIGHT
OUT.

Sioux City, March Pay no at
tention TO knockers, give no heed to
sidesteppers, but become thoroughly
imbued with the boosting spirit.
This was the advice given at the
short ours in merchandising BY
Harry NJ. Clark, of Lakefield. MINI,
to retailers interested in community
development. Mr.. Clark's subject
was Cooperation Between Town
and Country"
The one way to develop a com
| munity Is to get busy and keep
busy said the speaker. You may
be lonesome at first. There may be
a lot of fellows sitting around on
soap boxes and cracker barrels who
are far too content with present con
ditions to look upon you with any
thing more than mere wonderment.
Pay 10 attention to the town knock
ers who may get busy and endeayor
to deprive you of some Of hat hope
full spirit which Is so essential TO
success.
We are as lazy as we dare be.
Every merchant owes it to his town
and himself to take an active inter
est in community affairs
Mr.. Clark urged cooperation in
community development. Among
other things he advocated the fran
ing of town ordinances so drafted as
to win the respect and good will Of
the farmer.
The town should boast of good,
honest. clean professional men such
as doctors, dentists. veterinarians. 3"
he said. 4'They hold an important
position in the community and
should be men of ability and sterling
character.
Most of all, the towns must see
that all the roads leading into town
are in tip top condition and passable
at all seasons of the year. Clean
streets. well kept. are just as neces-
sary as good roads. Civic pride in
this matter will accomplish all that
is desired.

support a good band. which in sea
son on the public square, gives even
ing concerts and is always ready to
help out IN public celebrations in
town or in the country.
Every town should support IA
good theater and a good moving pic
ture show. These playhouses should
cater to the clean, moral, uplifting
helpful class of entertainers and
leave out the sensational. the allur-
ing and the questionable. You can
educate people exactly by what les
sons you place before them. Better
not forget this.
Literally supported schools and
churches are examples of public Co
operation which mark the communi-
ties which are going ahead. The
town which lacks the spirit to main
tain these institutions at their best
cannot hope for very rapid progress
or success
Good lodges and fraternal organ
izations are beneficial to a commn-
nifty and spell cooperation. Good
healthy. inspiring, truthful advertis-
ing is needed in any community as
much as the farmer needs for his
crops the rain and the sunshine.
The best advertising medium Is the
town newspaper"

rREGo COOP. ANNUAL nEEr1Nc

The annual meeting of the officers
and members of the Trego County
Coop. Association was held at the
court room in this city Monday after
noon and was attended by about -260
members. The annual reports from
! the various departments of the bus
iness was received and was very sat
isfactory to all concerned. The an
nual cash dividend of eight per cent
was declared and ordered paid and
besides there was turned back icto
the stock handsome profit from
both the stores and each of the three
elevators. At recent meeting the
capital stock of the association was
increased from $50. 600 to $4,000 and
the amount of business being tran
sacted is very satisfactory. The an
nual election of officers resulted in
the selection of the following: J. NJ.
Rinker, president; w. G. P. Rhoades,
secretary and treasurer; j. NJ. Zeman,
J. e. Miller and F. B. Walker direc-
tors.
The growth of this association is
remarkable if not phenominal Its
first store was started in Wa-Keeney
in June 1914 with a paid up capital
of but ST. 900 and now the combined
assets of the association are s85, 900.
The one little store has outgrown its
first home and has moved into quar-
ters which are three times as large
as the original building and now they
are too small and a larger and strictly
modern building is in contemplation.
Instead of having but one place of
business the association is now con-
ducting two stores and three eleva-
tors, store and elevator being locat-
ed at Collyer, an elevator at Voda
and store and elevator in Wa-Kee-
ney. There were but few stock
holders when the first store commen-
ced business but now there are over
four hundred of them scattered over
Trego and adjoining counties. The
business has always been successful
and notwithstanding the fact that
but S26,3 was the actual amount of
cash put into tie business an eight
per cent dividend is being paid on
capital of s75, 900 and the actual as
sets without debts are as stated
S85, 900. The Trego county Coop
Association is an organization of
farmers and is patronized by them
and is being conducted in a success
full manner and is demonstrating the
fact that there are advantages in CO.
operation.

Speaking of the high cost of living,

from it being needless and vulgar
display of wealth, he thought it
might be unsafe.

1t has been said that the hat a man
wears is an index to his character
and even more reliance may be placed
upon the way he wears it. 1t is prob
able, however, that footwear is an
equally good if not better indicator
of personal characteristics. At all
events glimpse at the collection of
footgear at J. E. Reddig's she eshop
awaiting for repairs is enough to
start a line of thought in the mind of
| the spectator. Shoes of high and low
degree; sensible and silly; run down
and run over; down at the heel, up at
the heel and out at the toe. To sit
| there day after day and contemplate
all that array of disabled footgear
would seem to be enough to give the
shoemaker the jim-jams, or a fit of
dispair. But he doesn't worry-just
keeps pegging away. Perhaps, after
all, to keep pegging away is good
medicine for both mind and body.

Attention Subscribers

We wish TO call attention of our.
readers and subscribers that on the
Ist day of April our one dollar offer
ceases. We were obliged to extend
our time to this date to accommodate
many who deserved little more time
but on April 1st, 1917, the World will
be s1.50 per year. 1t is needless to
state the reasons for the raise as we
explained that fully some time ago.
Printing material has advanced from
80 to 200 per cent and it is impossible
to pay the double prices for every
thing and keep the old price of one
dollar. So please remember that after
April lst the price advances to S1.50,
and those who wish TO pay up before
that date should do SO at once if they
wish to save the 50>cenG raise.
