Back yards, vacant lots, gardens
ana fields will be planted with pota-
toes this spring. Many people will
try to grow this crop for they realize
more than ever before the important
place potatoes occupy in the daily
menu. High prices have forced people
everywhere to consider means Of Sc
curing a goodly supply of this staple
food for the coming year. AS a re
suit of this interest many are asking
the question, What can I do to Sc
cure large yield of potatoes?"
/ Seed for the coming crop will be
secured from the home bin or pur-
chased in the market. Much Of the
seed stock will come from other
states, which increases the chances
for the Introduction OF potato diseases,
F. J. Pipal of the botany division
calls attention to the necessity for
study and control of these many dis
eases.
1T is no exaggeration to state that
potato diseases cut the possible aver
age yield of potatoes in the state at
least In half. Scab and various kinds
OF tuber rots, which cause consider
able damage every season, have been
with us long enough to be familiar to
all. More recently several diseases,
commonly known as blights and willis,
have been making their way into the
potato growing districts and laying
waste many promising acres Of the
crop. Another group of diseases, the
least evident in the field and for that
reason the least noticed, but consid-
erably reducing the yield, includes
such troubles as curly dwarf, leaf roll,
mosais and others. Running out of
the seed also goes into this category.
How to Disinfect Seeds
"Disinfect all seed potatoes before
planting and preferably before cutting
by soaking for two hours in a solu-
ton prepared by mixing one pint of
formaldehyde in twenty-five gallons
of water"
This treatment will prevent scab,

Conserving The Food Supply.

]. Ogden Armour, one Of the leading meat
packers and grain dealers Of the country, advo-
Gates conservation of the food supply Of the ma
ton to the extent of establishing one or two
meatless days week.
Armour knows where Of he speaks. He is
the head of the largest meat packing industry in
the world. He is pleading for conservation OF
the meat supply on patriotic grounds. 1t means
the loss of money to him if the consumption OF
meat is curtailed, but he is willing to stand the
loss if it helps the American nation.
The food situation in the United States is
critical. Few of us seem to accept the situation
ut it's face value. We are doing nothing to fore
stall the crisis It is characteristic of our peo-
pie to disregard danger signals. We like to take
. chance.
But in these critical days the taking Of chance
is dangerous practice. The odds are against
US. We cannot beat the game. Unless we
meet the situation with solution we are bound
to pay the price Of our folly.
For months The Palladium has been preach
ing the gospel of home gardens. This is not
charity project but national movement. Every
man in this community, whether he is rich or
poor, ought to put out garden this year. You
are not charity case" if you do it, but you are
patriotic citizen who has sense enough to see
where he can help his country.
Every pound of vegetables raised at home this
year is distinct positive, absolute, undeniable
contribution to the food supply of the nation.

tive be patriotic one

unanimous spirit will make it q big success. Fool
ish pickering unessential details, false ideas
Of your own importance, schemes for gain yelled
under patriotic guises are as detrimental as they
are unpatriotic
Loyalty nowadays cannot be measured by q
yardstick and by rules. Prejudices and selfish
interests must give way to the spirit of patriotic
impulse.
The citizens Of Richmond will squelch every
effort that has the earmarks of being selfish or
seems to be intended for personal show or gain.
The individual must merge himself into the mass
and not try to make himself conspicuous as if the
whole celebration depended upon him and his eff
forts.
The committees that have in hand the cele-
bration will unwittingly make some mistakes,
some feelings may be ruffled, and some persons
may feel that they have been sighted. The per-
son who feels offended at an instance of this kind
is far from being patriot and desirable citizen.
Formal invitations to the parade and other fea-
lures cannot be sent to every organization in the
city. Some may be overlooked, but the mistake
is as unintentional as it is pardonable. Only q
crank would take offense at mistake of this
kind.
Let us remember that true patriot is not
easily offended because his advice has not been
sought, his name not printed on the program, his
presence not invited to the stage. A true patriot
is too big man to take cognzance of these little
things. Small men with narrow visions have re-
stricted views. Big men with big visions over
look petty trifles and see only big things.
Your true patriots will be the men who join
into the spirit of the celebration. You will see
them marching in the parade whether they were
formally invited or not. You will see them car
rying flags singing the national hymns, applaud
ing patriotic sentiments, rejoicing that they are
''just plain, ordinary Americans but knowing
full well that they will give good account Of
themselves if the nation calls them to the trench
es. And after ALL is that not the big and essen
tial factor?
The knowledge that you are free American
citizen, blessed to live in grand Republic, willing
to do your work with might and main in the shop
or on the battlefield is the sentiment that counts.
Patriotism is so broad that it obliterates all
racial feeling, all petty and trifng differences of
opinions, all rancor and discord, and YIELDS into
one citizenship desiring to work for common
end for common good.

ed upon Helen r. Martins novel,

How to Protect Potato
From Scabs and BHghts

black leg, some rots and partially, at
least, disease known al rhizoctonia.
One pint will be sufficient to treat
twelve or more bushels. Formalde-
hyde is sold in drug stores for IS cents
to 80 cents pint. Another disinfect-
ant, more effective, against rhizoc-
tonia and equally effective against
scab and black leg, is that of corros-
i've sublimate, prepared by dissolving
four ounces of mercuric bichloride In
thirty gallons of water.
Potatoes are soaked in this solu-
ton for one and one-half hours.
Owing to the corrosive and poisonous
properties of the latter, however, for
maldehyde solution is usually pre-
ferred. Wherever a gas-tight bin or
room is available large quantities of
potatoes can be disinfected at one
time with formaldehyde gas generated
by means of potassium permanganate
(three pints of formaldehyde to TWEEN
ty-three ounces of potassius perman-
ganate).
This amount is used for 1000 cubic
feet of space, and is sufficient to FUN
igate about 100 bushels. Further de-
upon application.
when cutting seed potatoes, first
cut off slice about one-eighth of an
inch thick at the stem. It is at this
point where signs of a number of Sc
rious diseases can be best detected.
Discard all potatoes that show black
or brown rings or blotches at this
particular point, or anywhere in the
tuber. If such tubers are planted
they will produce. if they grow at all,
diseased hills and even infect the sur
rounding healthy plants. The dis
carded seed tubers can be used, of
course, even after the treatment, for
table purposes and for stock feeding"
