INSURE THE POTATO CROP
By Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture.

The wet weather which we have been
having is furnishing the best kind of con-
ditions for starting an epidemic of Late
Blight or "Rust" This disease can be
controlled if the proper precautions are
taken at this time. DO not wait another
day until you spray those potatoes with
Bordeaux Mixture. Get the leaves thor
oughly covered now while the plants are
small and before the blight gets started.
Remember that spraying il preventive
and not cure. You must have the spray
on the plants before the blight comes in
order to prevent infection. No amount
of spraying will cure plant that is in
fected. You can get enough blue vitriol
and lime to make so gallons of the best
bordeaux for less than 80c. Think it
over, can you afford in these times to
run the risk of loosing practically your
entire crop, for the want of few appli-
cations of Bordeaux?
Recent crop reports show that the po-
tato crop in the South will be smaller
that last year. Your home crop will fur
nish you with the very best of food and
you can sell the surplus at good prices.

The Maine State Board of Trade will
hold its annual meeting in Bar Harbor,

meeting the State Board has held at this
famous resort and the occasion is being
looked forward to with high anticipation
Last fall at Houlton a very considerable
number of the delegates made the trip by
auto and it is expected a considerably
larger proportion will travel by that con-
veyance this time. Bar Harbor also has
excellent railroad and steamboat service,
being easily accessible from all parts of
the State. An interesting and patriotic
program is being arranged and the occa-
sion promises to be one of the most not
able in the history of the State Board.
On the opening day there will be bust
ness session in the forenoon, to be fol-
lowed in the afternoon with addresses by
speakers of prominence, and in the even
ing the delegates will be rendered BAN
Quet by the Bar Harbor Board of Trade.
On the second day the visitors as guests
of the Bar Harbor Board of Trade will be
shown the picturesque sights in and
about Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Is
land. DR.. George A. Phillips, the enter
prising President; w. P. Wadieigh, the
efficient secretary; and all the officers and
members of the Bar Harbor Board of
Trade can be depended upon to Coop
crate in making the stay of the State
Board visitors highly enjoyable.

NEW VEINS OF HARD COAL
DISCOVERED.

HAZELTON, Pa, July 14th. Increased
production of anthracite coal is indicated
in the Lehigh region by the discovery of
new veins and by important improve
ments intended to increase the output.
Beds of virgin anthracite have been
found under the Tomhickon reservoir,
west of Hazelton and preparations are
being made to clear the valley of water
and strip the veins. The coal can easily
be prepared for the market, mining engi-
neers say.
In the Cranberry district 22-inch vein
of coal has been uncovered and this also
will be stripped and the coal marketed.
Production of fuel will be increased by
revival of long abandoned workings.
The Hollywood colliery of Pardee Bros.
& Co., abandoned thirty years ago be-
cause it was supposed to be worked out,
will be reopened this summer because OF
the great demand for fuel. A shaft has
been driven into the lower veins that
were deemed to be inaccessible in the
eighties. Tunnels are now being run 10
get out the anthracite. A complete cleo
trio equipment will furnish power for
several hundred miners.

Something to Worry About.

AS If we haven't already enough to
keep our mines busy, with war and the
high cost of living And our friends,
the learned astronomers, who study
the heavens just as carefully as the
average fellow does the innermOst re-
cesses of his pocketbook day before
pay, are intent upon adding to our load
of worry burdens. They-some Of
them-believe the sun is going to ex-
plode. One of them, writing in Pop
ular Astronomy, points to the fact that
our sun is of advanced age, and pre-
diets its finish as the leading figure
in our solar system. He finds that our
sun has contracted 100000 miles
from each side, thus giving Its hot
center 1S6OOO,OOO miles less of room.
So you see the suns center is rather
crowded for space. Something like the

REGISTER YOUR BOAT.

Owners of motor boats on the navi-
gable waters of the United States will do
well to send to their Congressman for a
copy of public Act No. 1866" That law
was approved by the President on June
7th, and provides for the numbering and
registration of such vessels with the
Secretary of Commerce. All boats op-
Grated by machinery and measuring more
than Is feet in length, excluding sheer,
are to bear on each bow number not less
than three inches high. The numbers
are to be awarded by the collector OF
customs of the district in which the YES
sci is owned. Violations are to be pun
ished by fine of $40, and in default OF
payment the boat may be seized. The
new law is not to take effect until six
months from the date of its approval,
and in the meantime the Secretary OF
Commerce is to prepare regulations for
its administration.

MAKING s1LAGE FROM POTATOES

Threatened with the chances of the
corn crop taking a slump this year, and
with the lesson of the past seasons over
supply of potatoes still keenly remem-
bered, the scientists of the government
and State agricultural bureaus are busy
testing the advantages of potato silage,
says E. r. Mcintyre in the August Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.
1t is estimated that with an average
yield, some 10 to IL million bushels of
potatoes are lost each year by rotting.
Besides these huge losses from worthless
culls, there is likelihood of an annual
surplus of potatoes beyond what are
needed for human consumption.
Now the scientists come along and
show the farmer how palatable potato
silage can help to solve the problem.
Commercial white or yellow corn meal,
preferably new corn meal, when used to
inoculate the chopped tubers, will do the
work successfully.
All dirt is first removed from the pota-
toes, and then they are run through a
grinder. The type of machine recon
mended by the experts is one that will
crush the tubers rather than grind them
to pulp. The potatoes must be broken
up so that, when packed, they will form
solid mass filled with juice and without
air spaces. Apple graters, modified by
substituting rows of blunt spikes for the
regular crater knives, worked we'll in the
trials.
After the potatoes are ground up they
are placed in water-tight receptacles or
tanks, about two per cent of corn meal
being sprinkled in among the ground po-
tatoes, as they are poured in. From two
to five per cent of corn meal must be used
for good results, and the work can be
done upon any scale, providing the re-
ceptacle is tight enough to retain the
juices. Watts, tanks, or concrete silos
would be all right.
Feeding experiments have already been
carried on with potato silage. Last fall
the government fed 10 tons of this sllage
to pigs and cattle. The cattle were led
over Co. day period, running potato
silage in comparison with corn silage. 1t
was found that potato and corn silage
had about the same value. The amount
of milk produced, the amount of weight
gained, and the quality of the milk were
about the same for each lot. in hog feed
ing, however, the pototo silage only
maintained the weight of the animals.

LAUGH.

Build for yourself strong box,
Fashion each part with care;
Fit it with hasp and paddock,
Put all your troubles there.
Hide therein all your failures,
And each bitter cup you quail,
Lock all your heartaches within it,
Then-sit on the lid and laugh.
Tell no one of it's contents;
Never it's secrets share;
Drop in your cares and your worries,
Keep them forever there.
Hide them from sight so completely
The world will never dream half;

Then-sit on the lid and laugh.
