County Agent Quist returned last
Friday afternoon from his home in
Harrison County, where he has been
laid up with severe attack of infiU
enza. It was a hard battle, but John
won out, which will be good news to
his numerous friends in this county.
While he is back in the office, he is
far from being fully recovered, and !
trust the farmers will not be too in
sistent upon him going out in the
country and expose himself to the ele--,
ments. Mr.. Quist has made a good
record in the office and has accom-
plished much good for our farmers. I
believe it will only be short time
before he will again travel high, wide
and handsome.
It is claimed the recent great Amer

Live News About Crawford County
Farms and Farmers
John H. D. Gray
Editor

Farmers all over the United States
are warned to be on their guard for
a dangerous new potato disease which
finally results in the destruction OF
the tuber. At present the state OF
Pennsylvania shows most signs OF the
potato infection though there is also
danger of it wherever imported seed
has been used. While it is not prob
able that Crawford county potato
fields will show any signs of the new
disease, the many characteristics OF
! it are interesting and are therefore
presented herewith: The infection OF
the tuber takes place at the eye, or
near it. A warty growth, not unlike
la piece of couliflower, is quickly form
led. Before long the potato is entirely
covered becoming a party mass. This
decays in the soil and results finally
lin brown, i'll smelling, pulpy mass,
resembling decayed puffball. This
mass contains great numbers of
spores, millions of which are thus
| freed in the soil and remain virulent
there for at least seven or eight years
as experiments in Europe have shown
that after rotation OF crops for six
years during which no potatoes we're
grown on the infected ground, the dis
lease returned when potatoes were
once more planted. The disease Is
readily carried by infected seed and
may even be transmitted by parings
from infected potatoes thrown ON the
ground. Manure from animals fed
with such infected, uncOoked potatoes
NAV lso be A means of spreading it.
The fact that the disease destroys the
|tubers completely, combined with it's
insidious character and the long life
|of the spores, adds to its seriousness
aus a menace to the potato growing in
dustry. Federal authorities are TAX
ing every possible measure to fight
the disease and prevent it's spreading
beyong the present area of Infection.
Tile entire anthracite mining section
OF pennsylvania is being carefully
watched and it is suggested that state
inspectors and others in various parts
of the country keep a lookout for the
disease, especially in those localities
in which importated potatoes may
have been used during the past eight
or ten years.

Earnest sympathy is good, but il is
not enough. 10 is time the American

There are nearly 100000 slavs and
Latins in Austria-Hungary. All of
them hate both Hohenzollern and Hans
burg. All of them long to be free from
the savage dominion Of Teuton and
Magyar. All Of them pray for the vic

compelled TO give their wealth. their
labors, and in many cases their blood

and defeat the friends whom they love.
Such system must be destroyed The
world cannot exist half Pan-German
and half free. II must be one thing or

is no room for an Austria~Hungary. We
should give the Czechs and Slovaks and
