SPUDS IN DANCER
Growers in Kaw Valley Warned
To Watch Crops.
Many Evidences of Disease
Have Been Found.

Dr. L. E. Melchers of Manhattan.
plant pathologist for the United States
department of agriculture, has sound
ed a warning to potato growers along
the Kaw valley. In company with A.
D. Folker. county agricultural agent,
Doctor Melchers visited and examined
several potato fields around Topeka
Friday and discovered that diseases
were making their appearance among
the plants.
One of the most dangerous of these
is rhizoctonia, or black scurf, a fun
gus disease which attacks the plant
from the old seed up into the new
stock and causes shriveled, dwarfed
plant which soon dies. These black
spoons of fungus live over the winter
on the seed, causing the disease to re-
appear next season. The disease is
practically all below ground, the plant
above being apparently in good con-
dition, except that it is dwarfed.
Black Leg Prevalent.
Doctor Melchers and Mr.. Folker also
discovered another infection known as
black leg, which came originally from
Europe and is now spreading thruout
the northwest. 1t causes the leaves of
half-grown plants to roll up and be-
come yellow, while the stem shriveIs
and blackens and the plants wilt. 1t
also makes black streaks thru the DO
totoes.
Fusarium wilt is another disease
that is dangerous but not so common.
Growers are also urged to be on their
guard against blight, which ruined
thousands of acres of potatoes in 1915.
Last spring DR.. Melchers expert
mented with the corrosive sublirnate
treatment for potato diseases on a
30O-acre field at SINNERS nursery in
Shorey. The experiment revealed that
plants not treated were from 5 to s
per cent diseased, while those sub
Jected to treatment were less than /
per cent diseased.
Big Disease Losses.
Folker estimates that in some places
in the county the potato production
will be cut from Is to 20 per cent by
potato diseases. Cars of potatoes are
bought every year in the north by
farmers along the Kaw valley and
these diseases often come from these
fields. Growers are urged to buy seed
from fields known to be free from
disease and then to treat, the seed

The Worm Turns.
Time was when a pitcher could never hit
The ball with q healthy thump.
He swung like an ossified man at IL
And he looked like helpless chump.
But now when a pitcher comes up to bat
And the ball game Is close and tense,
The rooter arises and waves his hat
And the fielders go out to the fence
pitcher should not be d successful batter.
He knows the why. the wherefore, the
parabol and the trajectory of pitched
ball-that is, unless he is a southpaw.
Doc Krone is hunting Cub park these
days looking for talent for his boxing
stable. He is said to be on the trail of
Les Mann, who recently fought no-decis-
ion battle with Heinie Zim.
Charley Ellis, former three-cushion bill
lard champion, has Joined the marines. He
will have charge of all the billiard games
aboard ship.
Splash!
As summer comes with skies of blue
And persons seek the light canoe,
The morning papers will contain
That oft-repeated old refrain:
HE rocked the boat"
And thus, when Kaiser Bill has passed
And Prussian hordes have gasped their
last,
Historic works will all contain
That oft-repeated old refrain:
He rocked the boat"
Our heart goes out in sympathy to the
baseball scribe who is called upon to write
two rainy day stories IN succession: But
it might be worse. What if he had been
travelling with Noah's team?
Sherwood Magee and Lee Magee, who
play on the same ball club, are said to be
distant relatives-extremely distant. Each
of them claims to be a descendant of
Adam.
One thing was lacking in the entertain
ment of the Blue Dev:.s. We should have

regular laugh.
Why?
There is man in our town,
A tender man and true,
Who would not even tread upon
A wayside worm, but who,
When Heinie Zim is at the plate
Stands up and hollers, 'Boo!
l never quite could understand,
1t never could get thru
My feeble brain why men of sane
And peaceful point of view,
When Heinie Zim is at the plate,
Stand up and holler "Boot"
Consider all the noble work

At games between the John McGraws
And Charley Weeghman's crew
When Heinie Zim is at the plate
And thousands boiler Boo"

Many Pitcher COmebacks in the
Big Leagues.
Earl Hamilton Did Impossible,
Then Enlisted.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, June 3.-Several major
league pitchers have figured in unique
comebacks this season that have at
tracted more than the usual attention.
Perhaps the most spectacular of all
was that of Earl Hamilton, lately of
the Pittsburgh Pirates and now jack
tar in Uncle Sans navy. Hamilton
was a castoff of the St. Louis Browns.
His work last year stamped him as
has-wuzzer, for he did not succeed in
winning a game for Fielder Jones.
Sent to Columbus, in the American
association, Hamilton showed little
better form, but despite this fact Joe
Tinker sold him to the Pittsburgh
club, and had he stuck with the Pi-
rates he might rank as the leading
Southpaw of the National League to-
day Hamilton won six straight
games for Hugo Bezdek's team and
then said goodbye to his. eliminates
and left the team to enter the navy.
Griner Is Another.
Another comeback is Dan Griner, of
the Robins. Griner is also a st. Louis
castoff, tho he was with the Cardinals
instead of the Browns. Miller Hug
gins asked for waivers on him last
Fall, and Brooklyn refused to waive,
so he became a Dodger. He is a big
Highlander with a good spitball, and
Uncle Wilbert Robinson is so well sat
isfied with his work that he is assured
of a regular meal ticket in Brooklyn.
Slim Love, who first joined the Yam
KEGS in 1916, failed to stack up as a
major Lacquer until this season be-
cause he refused to take the game Sc
riously. When Miller Higgins got
hold of Love and started after him
hammer and tongs, the big pitcher
woke up.
Gregg Looks Good.
Vean Gregg, brought back to the big
show from the International League
by Connie Mack, has been pitching
great ball for the Athletics, and Grow
er Lowdermilk, of the Browns, is an
other comeback who is still sticking
around. Perhaps the most interest
ing feature among the pitchers has
been furnished by Joe Wood, who has
been the means of winning a number
Of games for the Cleveland Indians
thru his timely hitting.
