Maine, was cut In half because OF the
attack of n 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
be expected from spraying. At the left
of the heavy vertical line are shown
the crops grown either without spray
Ing or with only the half-spray-the
spray which "gets" the bugs but does
the crop has received complete spray.
Spraying has evidently done more than
merely guarantee to the farmer that
he viii get back what he puts into the
crop--for IL 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 diseour-
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 10
come TO full maturity. Fourth, tip
burn is reduced so II amounts to but
little; and fifth. the potato blight and
rot is stopped.

How much does 1t cost YOU to raise

that of your men, goes into the potato

What Is the cost of the fertilizer and
manure which you use on the cropf
How much does the seed cost your

OF the land7
What part Of the money which you
put in do you actually get back7
The chances are that you cannot an
swer all of these questions. Probably
no one can. The figures will vary In
different cases. Yet what you know,
and what all potato farmers know, is
that this year labor costs more than
ever before. fertilizers are more Diff
cult to get, and good seed is hard to
find. Your investment in the potato
crop will be more this year than II usu-
ally is--and even under the best of
conditions It is SO high that you shiver
at the thought OF losing the crop.

great Irish famine, and half million
people starved to death because of
the failure of the crop). In 1917 the

THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND rHE WALL

THE RosE STILL GROWS BEYOND TaE WALL.
by A, L. FTiak@
Near shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed, in Gods free light
watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.
As it grew and blossomed fair and tail,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
1t came tn a creyice in the wall
Through which there shone beam Of light
Onward it crept, with added strength,
With never a thought of fear or pride;
1t followed the light through the crevice's
length
And unfolded itself on the other side.
The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before;
And it lost itself in the beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.
Shall claim Of death cause us TO grieve
And make our courage faint er fails
Nayi Let us faith and hope receive:
The rose still grows beyond the wall.
Scattering fragrance far and vide,
Just as it did in days OF yore;
just as it did on the other side,
Just as it will forevermore.
