Efforts Eradicate
The Potato Wart

Is the potato wart present in your
locality? This is a fungous disease
of Irish potatoes which causes rough
spungy outgrowths on the tubers, us,
ually at the eyes. These warthy
growths are brown at first and then
a characteristic black eelor The dis
ease is spread largely through the
use of infected seed and once the soil
is infected with disease germs, pota
toesscannot be grown there for 8 or
10 years.
This disease which was imported
from Europe has been found in Penn
sylvania and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture is making an int t2nsive
survey of the whole country to see If
it is present elsewhere. If found,
prompt measures will be found to era
dicate It.
E. G, Tins of the Bureau of Plant
Industry is just contemplating a sur
yey of the state for potato wart. If
any suspicious cases are found, re-
port them at once to your county
agent, the Plant Pathologist at the
A. & M. College or the Department
Of Agriculture at Washington,
Mr.. Tins spent today in Green
wood, looking over this section in the
interest of his work.

Men Often Have
Mistaken Idea

WASHINGTON, July 23-Disabled
men with a sense Of independence,
often have mistaken idea Of the
governments motives in offering
them training. Vocational officers
spend hours in setting such men strai,
ght, but in the end they realize that
it is in the performance Of duty and
not in a spirit of benevolence that th9
scheme of reducation for disabled sol
diers and sailors and marines has
been perfected Mike O'Toole, for
eleven years tunnel builder, before
entering the army, after receiving a
severe wound from high explosive
SHE'LL came to one of the district Of
fices of the Federal Board for Vo-
cational Education. He scorned the
idea of training, said he only wanted
some light work that would pay him
enough to support his mother and
himself. He could neither read ror
write, so he found a eight job" hard
to get. He came back to the office
Of the Federal Board. The adviser
pictured the school to him, a receiy-
ing school where he would be thrown
with men of his own age, not child
ren; the teacher, a real friend AMI
hcIper was described to him; the com
pensation he would receive while
training was explained to him. All
Of this opened Mikes eyes. He be-
gan to realize that this offer was not
of charity, it was his right, in addi-
tion his mother would be more com
Portable on the allowance made by
the government than on the small
amount he could make in his weal;cn-
ed condition. Mike saw Uncle Sans
offer in a new light. He started to
school the next day.

" the coal mining regions of South

On his was to the mine he surprised
one woman by asking to see her house

another woman held up her baby to

Arriving at Cwymn1er pit, the
Prince donned the cap and overalls of
a miner, and gratefully accepted from
the foreman a silver safetylamp, the
gift of the management. Miners and
their families crowded around him,
and cheered while the Prince waited

ers, black with coal-dust, straight
from the toll of the pit and singing
Welsh anthem.
When the singing stopped the
Prince and his official guides then
stepped into the cage and, swiftly but
very carefully, were lowered into the
mine.
At the bottom Of the shaft some one

He insisted on trying it himself,

the people for his reception, he said
he could appreciate the strenuous char
