A QUESTION OF AREAS.

In 1916 both Michigan and New York
grew the same area OF pOtatOes-ap-
proximately $4,000 acres. On this
area the state Of Michigan produced, in
round numbers. 15.OO0O00 bushels of
potatoes. New York, for her share,
however, produced %, 100000 bushels
an Increase of nearly so per cent.
With such a difference as this 1t is
apparent that in the work Of food pro-
duction, the question Of soil manage
ment and Of crop management is Of ut
most importance-for whenever 1t be-
comes profitable to do 50, there is no
doubt that Michigan can increase her
potato yield up TO or beyond that now
obtained by New York state

ACRE INCREASE IN YIELD DUE
TO SPRAYING.
VIRGINIA ee>R-T PorAroEs
Milford chronicle., 1918-05-17

Maine, was cut in half because Of the
attack Of a fungus disease. Potato
bugs take their toll all over the coun-
try. No section is free from the early
blight. The business farmer foresees
all these troubles. and insures to pro-
tect himself against loss from bugs,
beetles and blights.
The diagram shows something Of the
increase of the potato crop which may
he expected from spraying. At the left
of the heavy vertical line are shown
the crops grown either without spray
ing or with only the hulf-spray-the
spray which "gets' the bugs hut does
not prevent the bllghts. At the right
the crop has received a complete spray.
Spraying has evidently done more than
merely guarantee 70 the farmer that
he will get back what he puts into the
crop-for It has turned a splendid
profit.
How Potato Spraying Brings Results.
These astonishing results are secured
only by proper spraying. First the
poison Of the spray kills the potato
beetles. Second. the spray so discOur-
ages the destructive flea beetles as to
cut down by nine-tenths the damage
which they DO. Third. the early blight
Is prevented. and the vines allowed to
come TO full maturity. Fourth. tip
burn IS reduced so It amounts to but
little: ana fifth. the potato blight and
rot is stopped.

Save YOUR HAIR!
A SMALL BOTTLE.
STOPS DANDRUFF
Every bit of dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Your hair appears
glossy. abundant, wavy
and beautiful.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of. dandruff---that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A. little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for few cents, and af-
ter the first application your hair will
take on that life, lustre and luxuriance
which is sc. beautiful. It will become
wavy and, fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an incompara BILE
gloss and softness; but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use. when you will actually
see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and Strengthens them. Its
exhilarating and life=producing prop
critics cause the hair to grow long,
Astrong and beautiful,zAdy.

BAR VISITORS
FROM ENTERING
AVIATION CAMPS

I Dallas, *Texas,' April 9-In view of
the belief that German spies are &C
tive throughout the United States,
stricter rules regulating access to ar
my aviation camps in Texas have been
promulgated and visitors to the fields
now find it difficult to gain admit
lance. --...~.
With the coming of the aviation
schools to Texas there developed the
usual crowd of curious who, not con-
tent to witness the flights from their
backwards, made visits to the fields
and invaded, when possible, officers
quarters, hangers, flying fields and in
fact every place that they thought
they might see something new. 1t was
with great difficulty that machines
were able to rise and land safely, and
commanders began to grow more
strict.
Finally all without passes were rul-
ed off the fields. Then they blocked
the byways leading to the camps and
when aviators were forced to descend
and repair trucks were started to the
assistance of the disabled machines in
double quick time, it was with great
difficulty that they made their way
through the jam of automobiles and
farm wagons.
Under the new rules every person
must have a pass to get beyond the
entrances of the camps. Officers, en-
listed men and cadets have the privi
lege of asking for passes for their
friends, but they are only granted by
headquarters when the prospective
host is to be off duty. Officers, en-
listed men or cadets seeking passes
are responsible for the visitors while
they are in the camps and the name
of each visitor must appear on his
or her pass.
Visitors never are allowed within
the hangers, neither are they permit
ted to enter the machine shops at the
fields. Every persons passing the
guard is asked if he or she carries a
camera and If the guard has any
doubt the visitor is searched.
Recently a visitor to Love Field
here made several pictures of air
planes in the air. The amateur pho
tographer was seated in an automo-
bile outside the flying field but a sem
try observed him and a few minutes
later an officer asked the visitor for
the camera. 1t was promptly turned
over and a few days later it was re-
turned to the owner-minus the films.
He was cautioned not to attempt to
take any more pictures of flyers.
Another nuisance around aviation
camps is the souvenir hunter. 1t was
discovered that. when the opportun-
ity presented, he removed from air
planes anything that was loose and
which, could conveniently he carried
away. Aside from the monetary loss
the practice was dangerous to the
aviators for it was possible that some
parts essential to the safety of the
flyers might be stolen and not missed
until the machine was thousands of
feet in the air.

BARTON AGAINST
WAR RESOLUTION

Boston, April S-Dr. James L. Bar
ton, foreign secretary of the Amerf-
can board of commissioners for for
eign missions made public yesterday
letter to Senator Lodge in which he
expressed the hope that Congress
would not pass the Senate resolution
declaring that a state of war exists
between Bulgaria and Turkey and the
United States.
Pointing out that other countries
at war with Germany had not declar-
ed war on all of its allies, DR.. Barton
said the United States could render
Germany no greater service than by
passing the resolution, inasmuch as
Germany keenly feels the need of such
step to consolidate Bulgaria and
Turkey in their sense of dependence
now and after the war.
