TO IMPROVE SEED POTATOES
Extensive Experiments Being Made In
Various States by Govern
ment Officials.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuture)
To select strains Of potatoes which
are best adapted for commercial pro-
duction, the United States department
of agriculture and cooperating state
agencies are conducting extensive ex-
periments In seed Improvement. Trials
are being made in Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Iowa, Oregon, Washington,
Maine, and also in Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas. Several
strains of the leading commercial va
rieties now grown In the North are
under test, the purpose being to study
them carefully under actual growing
and harvest conditions In the field,
md to select the best strain of seed
of each commercial variety. The fol-
lowing year each strain will be grown
on a large scale. AS the supply Of
seed stock permits, the seed is to be
distributed among growers and seeds
men, and in this way Is to be gradu-
lily popularized and disseminated.
This investigation will be of country
wide significance In improving the fu-
ture stocks of seed potatoes.

NERVES THAT TIRE EASILY
Fatiqued-heat Nerves Practi-
calIy Never At Rest.

The most easily tired nerves in the
body are the nerves OF smell. AS you
pass a rose In the garden the guam
tity Of perfume that gets intot your
nostril must be many millions of BILL
lion of times smaller than the tiniest
grain of sand But rub the strongest
perfume on your upper lip, and in a
few seconds you fall to notice it, the
nerve OF smell Is 30 quickly fatigued.
The heat nerves and cold nerves,
which are quite distinct from the
nerves Of ordinary sensation, also give
over working very quickly. A bath
that seems quite hot when you get into
II very soon ceases to cause any par
ticular feeling of heat.
Nerves of hearing and sight can 20
through an enormous amount OF work.
For sixteen hours a day they work
hard, and are still willing to do more.
The nerves Of the heart are the most
untiring Of all. From the first dawn
Of life until the last gasp they work
without stopping for one instant.

1t Is through the use of such ap-
rarently sound potatoes for seed that
the disease is often spread to new
localities.
How Disease May Be Spread.
Under ordinary conditions the pota-
to wart disease spreads slowly. 1t
lives in the soil and on the tubers,
so one or the other must usually he
transported to introduce the disease
into new field or locality. The
spores may be carried into clean soil
by drainage from infected soil. on the
feet of men or animals, by planting
diseased potatoes, by planting sound
tubers that have grown on infected
soil. by the use of manure from ami
mails to which diseased potatoes have
been fed, and by garbage into which
Feelings from diseased potatoes have
been thrown.
Preventive Measures.
No method of controlling the potato
wart disease has yet been discovered,
so every preventive measure must be
used to keep 1t from spreading. The
warts should be burned. Diseased
trbers must not be fed to live stock
without first being boiled. Infested
sol! should be planted to other crops.
Potatoes should nor 20 planted agaid
In infested soil for at least eight years.
Federal and state agricultural au-
tl'orities are working to prevent tho
spread of potato wart, but they will
need heartiest cooperation from every
grower and dealer Of potatoes to
save the industry from this new
menace. Experiments are being con-
Quoted to learn, II possible. ways Of
controlling the malady, and informa-
ton will be furnished as rapidly AZ
discovered. But potato wart disease
is much easier to prevent than to con-
troll.
Keep watch at digging time for
potatoes with warty growths which
are whitish or light brown when young.
black and decayed when old. Report
promptly all suspicious cases to your
county agent. to your state agricul-
tural experiment station or to tho
United States department Of agricul-
ture.

Some men run into hobbies. AT these

The potato industry is seriously
Countrywide potato wart disease. I'm
less 1t can be eradlcated before 1t
spreads to commercial paintings,
specialists Of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture say 1t will
cost potato growers millions annually.
II is easily recognized and when dis
covered it should be promptly reported
to federal or state agricultural off,
Gals.
Like many other plant diseases and
insect pests, the potato wart disease
was imported from Europe. 1t is with
out doubt the most serious potato
disease yet discovered In the United
States. Unless promptly suppressed it
may prove disastrous to the entire
American potato industry, which in
wolves nearly half billion dollars an
nually.
What to Look For.
Two bright spots reduce the menace
OF this disease.
Except In its early stages, 1t is cas-
lily recognised and 1t spreads slowly.
However. It cannot b. detected IN
til the potatoes are aug. as 1t does
not seriously affect the growth or
vigor Of the vines,
It usually appears in the eyes Of the
tubers. Spreading from this point of
Infection, 1t may gradually envelop the
whole potato and render 1t spongy,
warty mass. 1t Is characterized by the
prominent wart-like outgrowths on the
tubers.
The warts at first are whitish or
light brown. Eventually they turn to
darker shade. After decay starts
they turn black. Young warts, when
exposed to the light, turn green.
The warty tumors vary from the
size OF pea to walnut; or they
may even exceed the size of the potato
on which they grow. In the latter
case the warty mass loses all re-
semblance to a potato. In some hills
some of the potatoes may appear per-
fectly healthy. but the eyes are likely
to be infected.

PINE MOUSE QUITE HARMFUL
Makes Use Of Tunnels Made by MoIel

Root Crops.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
"Let the mole do the work and get
the blame" says the pine mouse as
he scurries through a mole-made tun-
mel to a hill Of juicy potatoes, where
he eats self-service meal. And at
that, pine mice are not inherently
lazy. These pests of the gardener,
orchardist and farmer are crafty.
Moles burrow tunnels in their search
after grubs, insects and worms, and
officiate as plain-clothes men In Kidding
the soil of rascally insects. Pine mice
tag after the moles and destroy the
vegetables and root crops which the

Runea.

~Runes" were the letters of the A.
phabet used by the old Teutonic
tribes. The word means hidden lore.
The earliest runes were merely fanc-
fu' signs supposed to possess mysteri-
Gus power. The letters were even
considered magical. and were cast into
the air, written separately upon chips,
to fall as fate determined. on a cloth
and to be read by the interpreters.
The association Of the runic letters
with heather superstitions caused the
nrst Christian teachers to discourage
their use.

Illinois Senator AssaiIs These Who
Are Trying to Block the Wilson
Plan---IIonroe Doctrine Safe


In an impassioned speech in the
senate on Monday, Senator Lewis oil
Illinois, the democratic whip, answered
the attacks launched against the
league of nations by democratic and
republican senators. Senator Lewis
vehemently upheld the league project
declaring that it would mean an ALI
ance of the United States with foreign
powers that would put an end to the
possibility of world war.
At the end of Senator Lewis speech
the galleries packed as they have
been on every other day when the
league has been debated, broke into
wild applause. Vice-president Mar.
shall, after banging the gavel until
quiet was restored, announced that the
rule of no applause would be enforced
and that if any further demonstrations
were made the galleries would be
cleared.
ACCEPTED WITHOUT CHANGE
Senator Lewis spoke in advocacy of
the entire league Of nations project,
saying it ought to be accepted by the
senate without the change of "a cylla-
BILE. The Illinois senator regretted, he
said, the attacks made against. the
league project, most Of which, he said,
were induced by partisanship. He
held the Monroe doctrine was safe.
