variety of caulif1ower which grew underground.
 Not Harmful to Eat.
 The disease is a fungous disease and affects the potato only; a person might eat it without injury, but the chances are that he wouldn't, for the warty outgrowths are ordinarily cut off in peeling. In fact, in the infect ed backyard gardens in PennsyI- van-a, the worst spots were often right by the back door, where the potato peelings had been thrown out to the chickens. If the peelings had been cooked first, the disease would of course have been killed, and the potato peelings at the same time made more digestible.
 Sometimes the warty outgrowths appear on the stems above ground, but generally the sole effect is on the tubers. in severe cases causing them to turn into a black, crumbly de- cayed mass. The crop in some of the small gardens in Pennsylvania was virtually a total loss. While the vines might appear fairly healthy and promising above ground, the disease might exist and be detected only at digging time.
 It is easier to prevent than 1t is to control If it once gets into a field it is hard to eradicate. Therefore the United States Department of Agricul- ture, through the Plant Disease Sur very and other cooperating organiza- tions all over the country are CO., operating in an effort to find the dis ease, if it is present.

WOMAN SAYS
 BROKER KEPT
 HER SECURITIES

New York, Sept. 26-Charging that stock which she turned over to the banking house of c. H. Venner S5 O., No. 10 Wall street, was wrongful- ly withheld, according to the terms of an agreement she had, Mrs. Retta Ellis is suing to recover 300 shares of stock of the Iowa Central railroad, which she states were to have been used in legal proceedings against the road.
 After the securities had been re- plevined by Deputy Sheriffs Murray and Curtin, the banker again got pos session of them by putting up a bond pending trial of Mrs. Ellis action The stock consisted of three certin- cates of 100 shares each. Mrs. Ellis asserts they were wrongfully with held by the defendants under the terms of the agreement.
 Incorporated in Mrs. Ellis com nlaint are articles of an agreement, executed in 1916, which is of special interest to Wall street. It shows that Mrs. Ellis turned over the securities to the Venner firm so it might begin a stockholders action against the rail- road "because the party of the first part, Mrs. Ellis. believes that the face value of the stock has greatly depre- Cia-ed by reason of certain transac- tions on the part of the Iowa Gen. tral Railway Company, its directors and officers"
 Further the agreement said: That she desires to secure the co-opera- ton and assistance of the se1ond party Cthe Venrer firm) in efforts through legal proceedings and other wise to enforce the rights of the first party, and if possible restore tha, value of the stock"
 This condition of the agreement, Mrs. Ellis asserts, was not fulfilled by the bankers firm. MT. Venner ap- peared as party to the contract be- sides being appointed attorney in fact 4 and agent, with .plenary power to bring any action he deemed necessary and employ counsel. He also was ito have sole direction of any suits so brought and to settle and discontinue the same at any time"
 Under the terms of the agreement the banking firm agreed to furnish any money needed in prosecuting the actions, while Mrs Ellis was relieved of any personal liability. "The sec ond party CVenner & Co.) shall wholly recoup itself from such ex- penses out of the proceeds of said stock if any there be-" continued the agreement.
 Mrs. Ellis agreed to the sale of her stock, having a par value of S3,000, for the sum of S10,000, while MT. Venner consented to be reimbursed for his services by the banking firm. On the same day, July IS, 1916. the parties executed e supplemental Agreement which provided that in the event of the legal proceedings being unsuccessful, the banking firm could exercise an option of returning to Mrs. Ellis her stock free of all ex- penses and pay her S750.
 If the banking firm elected to buy the stock for s1O.0o0. it was agreed that MT, Venner or the firm was en- titled to take S2,000 in liquidation of any expenses incurred.
 In recent years MT. Venner has sued for large amounts the New York Central and Great Western rail- ways the Interborough and the Beth lehem Steel Company. Tn one of the actions he was sueeeszfuL

The poor afflicted spud seems to be in for it for fair this year.
 On the heels of information re- ceived that at least $2,O0O,00O dam age had been done to the Connecticut potato crop this year by excessive rainfall, L. II. Healey, secretary of the State Board of Agriculture, gave warning to the farmers of the state that they must be on their guard against a new disease known as the potato-wart, which threatens to add to the damage already done the crop.
 In September, 1918, a diseased po- tato was sent by a woman from Highland, Pa, to Prof. J. G. Sanders of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and he at once recognized the importance of immediate investi- gallon. He took the diseased potato to Washington and the United States Department of Agriculture pronounc- ed the scourge the, serious European wart- disease. 4 hasty survey of the situation showed that it was largely confined to little backyard gardens of the anthracite cOal-mines in a re- stricted region in Pennsylvania.
 Imported From Europe.
 It is believed the disease was inn ported from Europe, possibly from England or Ireland. In 1912, the Fed eraI Horticultural Board, in hope of keeping the disease out of America, prohibited the importation of potatoes from those countries, where the dis ease was known to exist. Before the embargo went into effect, however. several million bushels of the crop of 1911 had been brought into this country from Europe and distribut- ed throughout the East.
 When small, the growths on the surface of the potato tuber resemble warts; when larger the outgrowth reminds one of a small, more or less spongy caulihCwer. light brown In color later becoming dark or even black Finally the whole diseased potato may disintegrate> into a black, crumbly, decayed mass.
 When the Department of Agricul- ture Agents were searching for tho disease in Pennsylvania, the bewild- cred coal-miners were much con- cerned, thinking that this might be the cause of the dreaded "flu" epi- demic then raging. One lady, with characteristic sense of humor, showed all her neighbors one of her large diseased potatoes as a new
