POTATO CROP IN DANGER

The potato crop in Ohio is likely to
be severely damaged by blight caused
by prevailing weather conditions, ac-
cording to R. B. Cruickshank, special
list in horticulture Of the Ohio State
University. The late blight Of pota-
toes, says Professor Cruickshank,
comes very rapidly and with practic-
ally no warning. 1t is a disease that
cannot be cured after it has attacked
the plant. It must be prevented.
Therefore, it is necessary to be pre-
pared to spray against the disease be-
fore it appears, It's appearance may
be expected from now on.
Blight may be controlled by spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture, which is
prepared as follows. Dissolve four
pounds of copper sulphate in water,
preferably by suspending it in cloth
sack near the top. Shake from four
to six pounds Of lime, stone lime, pre-
ferably. Dilute each of these to
twenty-five gallons and pour them at
the same rate in third receptacle OF
sprayer tank. 1t will take about
seventy five gallons to spray one acre
Of potatoes. Care should be taken to
do thorough job. If potato beetles
are present, arsenate of lead should
be included in the spray at the rate
Of six pounds to each fifty gallons OF
the mixture.

SUMMARY OF WEATHER
AND CROP CONDITIONS

The weather conditions were un-
usually favorable during the week and
crops in all parts Of the state made
marked improvement and excellent
progress was made along all lines Of
farm work except in local areas where
the ground was too wet a part Of the
time for cultivation. The wheat OUT
look is much improved and harvesting
has begun as far north as Marion and
Morrow counties. Oats are heading
nicely although a little short. Corn
and gardens are fine and generally
well cultivated. Meadows and pas
lures are excellent. Very little hay
ing has been done on account Of the
rush Of other work. Grapes are fair
though quite late; other fruits, es-
pecially peaches, apples, pears and
cherries, are very poor.

HOMEMADE MIXTURES
REPEL FLIES ON cows

Spray mixtures may add to the
comfort Of a COW by keeping off num-
erous flies. Several Of these COM
pounds may be mixed at home.
A mixture recommended for this
purpose is given in Bulletin 267 Of the
Ohio Experiment Station as 100 parts
Of fish oil, so parts Of oil Of tar, and
one part Of crude carbolic acid.
Another formula is one-half gallon Of
oil Of tar. one-hah gallon Of cotton
seed oil, and one-haf pint Of crude
carbolic acid. Such mixtures sprayed
on cattle keep off flies for time.

Mary Jane Strock, daughter Of Jacob
and Leah Strock, born January n,

and 5 months. In the year 1882 she
was married to George Erwin, soon
afterward moving to the farm home

until the time Of her death.
She was of quiet unassuming dis
position, exemplifying by her daily
walk and conversation the Christian
character which sustained her during
the long months of suffering she en-
dured. This same kind disposition en-
deared her to large circle OF friends
and neighbors and the fortitude and
patience with which she bore the long
weeks Of suffering was marvel to all
with whom she came in contact. The
deceased was converted thirty-six
years ago. When health permitted she
was always at the post of duty In
church and Sabbath school; being an
active member Of the home depart
ment of the U. B. church at Burbank.
She is survived by her husband, six
sisters and two brothers who mourn
their loss still realize her great gain
knowing that free from the many ills
of flesh she is at rest and realizing the
hope that sustained her in life.
Funeral services were held at the
home Monday, July2, conducted by
Rev. Long Of the U. B. church of Bur-
bank. 1nterment at Leroy cemetery.
Pail bearers were: Melvin, Guy and
Ralph Mcconnell, Charlie Richard, Roy
and Bert Strock, all nephews of the
deceased.
Friends from Cleveland, Massillon,
Wooster, West Salem, Medina, Lodi,
Chatham and Creston were present; al

",yhat Are We Fighting ror?"

M ANY Of us are led to wonder, and in
lVl good faith why 1t is that the war
aims Of tho allied governments cannot be
agreed upon, or, II tentatively determined,
why the world should not be taken into their
confidence and an answer given, once and
for all, to the question. What are we fighting
for?" 1t is no breach Of loyalty or viola
ton OF patriotism to ask ourselves or our
war associates to announce In definite and
unmistakable language the terms upon which
we would lay down our arms In very gen.
eral way all Americans know hat we are
fighting that democratic government in the
world may endure and be safeguarded against
such raids upon civilization Germany has
launched. Also, we are fighting that small
nations may survive; therefore. that Belgium,
Serbia and tho rest of them may be avenged.
Also that we are fighting that the peoples
of the earth may elect the government to
which they shall pay allegiance, meaning
thereby that Asace and Lorraine may be re-
stored to France, and possibly Trieste to
Italy.
But when we pass that point pass the
point Of enlightenment All beyond is secrecy
or mystery, or, perhaps, uncertainty. Shall
the German colonies he returned to her? Shall
the Hohenzollern dynasty be dethroned and
Germany democratized? Shall Poland be
given autonomy? Shall war indemnities be
levied against Germany and her allies? Shall
Russia be given the Dardanelles? Shall Ger
man shipping seized by her enemies, and
shall the allied shipping destroyed by pirate
submarines, be paid for? We confess that
these are difficult questions to answer.
1t may not be possible at this stage for the
allied belligerents to agree among themselves
upon them. And it might be poor diplomacy
for these governments, even in case of an
agreement, to lay down the line to which
they are fighting. 1t might cause widespread
dscord at home, and might be emba rrassing
to them when the time comes to assemble
around the peace table. We grant all this,
and therefore, cannot press our own gov
eminent for any clearer declaration than that
already enunciated, but we realize at the
same time that definitely formulated peace
terms by us might prove very fortunate
circumstance i'll this wEr.
President Wilson has made one cear-cut
declaration, however, which silences those
who may question our motives. He has an
nounced 10 the whole world that the United
States wants nothing whatever that Germany
has, whether it be money, lands or COM
merce. This, coupled with the equally force
full statement that we are not the enemies
of the German people, but only the enemies
or the German government compels our
pride, just it has elected our applause
from tho beginning.
