BEAR LAKE COUNTY
POTATOES DISEASED


have visited several patches Of
potatoes in most parts OF the county.
and have not found one patch free
from disease. As result Of this dis
eased condition Of the potatoes, the !.
yield will undoubtedly be cut several
per cent.
The diseases which are common
are Fusarium wilt, and Rhizectonia.
These are both fungus diseases, and
both attack the underground stem.
Rhizectonia affects the plant by
girdling the stem or root stock. 30 as
to prevent the food from going from
the tops to the roots and tubera, or
by cutting off the tuber stem, and
appears as q brown ring in the stem.
when the stem is cut crosswise.
When this disease has developed
further, the entire underground stem
is killed and appears brown. This
prevents the vine from getting its
supply of moisture. As a result 1t
turns yellow and willis, and finally
dies. The vine has a similar appear
ance whep the stem is attacked by
Rhizoctonia.
Space will not permit thorough
discussion of these diseases, but the
thing to do now is to select your
seed potatoes. Choose q part Of
your patch Of potatoes which Is most
nearly free from the whiting vines.
| The few vines which are whiting and
those which wilt later within this cho-
sen plot should all be removed. The
potatoes thus taken up can be used.
Those which show no signs Of wilt
ing or discoloration, may be consid-
cred free from disease, and should
be kept apart from the rest OF the
crop.
In the spring before planting, the
stem end OF each potato should be
sliced on II the set contains the
Fusarium, it will show a brown ring
on the cut end; and II there is the
slightest sign Of this ring, the potato
should not be planted.
The Rhizoctonia may also be de-
tected by the black spots appearing
on the surface OF the potatoes. These
spots are spores of the fungus, and
1t ia partly thru them that the fun
gus growth 10 perpetuated. Formal
dehyde treatment will not kill these
spores. Selection of seed, rotation
OF crops. and intensive cultural meth
DDS are best to control these diseas-
60.
II is very important that selection
begin now, as the vines indicate
which potatoes are diseased. Vines
will soon be gone.

How to Heat a Garage.

If the garage is located near the
house, 1t may be feasible to supply it
with heat from the furnace thus doing
away with the garage heater. which,
however perfect. does require some at
tentlon- Ordinarily it is not possible
to supply the garage with heat, wheth-
er hot water. steam or hot air, unless
the garage is somewhat above the
level of the furnace In order to OBJ
tain sufficient inclination of the pipes
so that the heat will flow up to the
garage, 1t would be necessary to have
the pipes above ground. or at least very
near the surface of the ground, and
tnis would cause a loss of heat The
ideal situation is one in which the cell
lar is deep below the ground, with the
furnace set low so that the pipes run
nins from the top of the furnace may
run far below the surface. Such
situation is unusual, however. No
matter what system Is used, it is abb
soiuteiy necessary for the pipes to
Slope gradually upward from the fur
mace to the radiators. Consequently. il
Is impossible to adopt the expedient of
dropping one of the pipes below the
top or the furnace SO that it will enter
the ground sufficiently deep to prevent
water system.
\ compromise solution of the diff
culty may be obtained with a hot-water
heating system by tapping in the de-
liyery pipes about half way up on the
-. eio iui hdce- ne water at this
point is, naturally, not so hot as if is
farther up but by locating the pipe
low it Is possible to carry il nm ar a
slight slant all the way to the garage
without bringing it too near the sur
race OF the ground. The return nine
OF course, might be lower yet, as IL
enters the bottom of the furnace.
ANY plumber can do the job, as there
are no particular difficulties. AS in
must be sufficiently embedded in the
ground to prevent freezing.
This difficulty can be minimized bv
covering the pipes with asbestos and
OF course, this should be done in anv
case, whether the pipes are close r.

Interior Economy.
The interior of the garage shouId ba
carefully studied so that no steps are
wasted in caring for the car, This
matter Is best illustrated by CONSIDER
ing the location of work bench tool
closets. wardrobe, hose connection oil
and gasoline tank location, and SO on
The bench should naturally be at the
rear of the garage for the sake of good
closets should be placed at one side
rather close to the bench, so that il
is convenient to go from the bench
to the tool closet or to move from anv
part of the car to the front.
1t may seem that these are small
points, and they are, but they have a
lot to do with the proper care of an

not require any extra expense to work
out these details carefully there is no
reason in the world why il shou,d nht

Minimum Height Eight Feet.

How high to make the garage is
largely a question of appearance. but
the minimum height should be about
eight feet. The higher the garage. the
cooler it will be in summer as the heat
radiated by the roof is absorbed by the
air directly under the roof and conse-
quently does not appreciably heat the
garage below.
probably the cheapest door to install
and is fairly satisfactory. There are
doors which are much more desirable.
some of which require fittings which
must be made to order, and others
which have fittings that may be pur-
chased, thus facilitating their install
lation.
Best Kind of Door.
The ordinary sliding door cannot be
used, as a rule, because the garage is
not of sufficient width. The most de-
sirable type of door is sliding door
built in small sections, hinged to-
gether and running .on a track which
curves around the corner of the build
ing. so that when the doors are open
they lie close to one of the sides of the
garage.
The selection of lamps depends on cir
cumstances. A single lamp in the Gen.
ter of the garage mounted three or
four feet from the ceiling will give
good illumination. Still better light
might be, obtained by having one lamp
near the front and another near the
rear of the building. but if car wash
ing is to be done. the indirect lighting
scheme will have to be partially aban-
doned if the best effect is to be OBJ
tanned, and a light should be placed
at each of the four corners of the
garage. with reflectors throwing the
light down at an angle onto the car.
The light. of course, should be up out
Of the way.

Though 1t was not Intentional, the
motor truck gave itself some very good
advertising and gave the farmer some
unusual demonstrations. With the
necessity for greater farm production

necessity for saving of time and

and better than it was ever handled
before, truck manufacturers believe
the farm owners are becoming better

FARMER SEES VALUE
8 OF THE MOTOR TRUCK
Railroad Congestion Has Made It
Necessary for Him to Find
Other Transportation.

Farmers in all parts of the United
States have had impressed upon them
the value of the motor truck for farm
work. The railroad congestion and
the shortage of railroad equipment made
it particularly necessary during the last
five or six months to send new trucks
overland from the factories and to
handle large quantities of freight. such
as ordinarily would have been handled
by the railroads, by using motor trucks.
These conditions took the trucks out
into the farming districts in greater
numbers and with greater frequency
than ever before. Farmers saw them
