TER FARMING BETTER BUSINESS BETTER LINING
By Oscar Gunderson County Agricultural Representative


of Corrosive Sublimate also called
Mercuric Chloride. Dissolve the pow
der in a little warm water and then
pour this into the cold water. This
liquid is deadly poison and great
care must be taken to prevent ami
mails from drinking it as it is color
less and practically tasteless and may
be easily mistaken for water. All
bags and crates that are used for the
treated potatoes must be soaked in
the solution If they lave ever been
used for potatoes before. If new
then treatment is not necessary.
Seed potatoes must always be out af-
ter treatment and NOT before.
Black Scurf or Rhizoctonia or the
"dirt that won't rub off" is another
disease that does not do so much in
jury but spoils the looks of potatoes
for show purposes. If the disease is
severe however it diminishes the
yield too. Treatment is the same as
scab.
Black Leg is potato disease also.
When vines look yellow and the
leaves curl upward and the whole
plant looks sick the chances are good
that there is case of Black Leg.
Pull up the plant and see if the roots
are rotten and black. Diseased
plants usually die before many pota-
toes are produced but there may be
some small ones and if these are
planted next year they will carry
along the disease. The best proven
tative is to go through the field and
pull out all vines that look diseased.
Then the disease will not be propa-
gated any farther. Treating the
seed the same as for scab will pre-
vent the disease.
To sum up. The Blights are not
liable to do much damage in this
county on account of the short season
The other diseases can be con-
trolled and eradicated by seed treat
ment which is inexpensive and easily
done. All potatoes planted should be
treated. The expense and work is so
slight that the practice should be
universal.

When I gaze on the glistening faucets
And the comforting tiles of the shower,
My memory flies to my childhood
And calls up sad, painful hourl
When the house, from the kitchen to gar
ret,
Resembled the Great Day of Wrath
And the family was drafted for service"
While Father was taking his BATH
The porcelain's canescent cleaning
Was a luxury unknown to Dad
The galvanized tub, and steaming
Hot kettle were all that he had
He would silently stalk to the kitchen,
And carefully close the door
A scrape and splash were the prelude
And next the habitual roar!
Then mother would run to his rescue
And pour in some cold with smile,
And find him the soap and towel,
With Dad cussing softly the while.
And would be sent for his slippers
And through just the tlniest crack,
Came the sounds which experience told me
Meant Mother was scrubbing his back.
But now the old galvanized washtub
Forgotten hangs, heaven knows where
It's manifold mission is ended,
And the bath is private affair."

DISEASES:

There are five common diseases of
the potato plant that Wisconsin
growers have to contend with viz:
Late Blight, Early Blight, Scab,
Black Leg and Black Scurf also
called RhiZoctonia.
Early Blight is fungus disease
that causes black spots on the leaves
in late summer but does not attach
stems or tubers. The leaves are in
jured and may be destroyed and in
that case the growth of the potatoes
is retarded or stopped. Spraying the
vines with Bordeaux Solution three
or four times at intervals of two
weeks will usually prevent the di-
seaSe.
Late Blight is much more destruc-
tive than the Early Blight but for
tunately does not occur so often. The
vines blight and die and the disease
attacks the tubers and causes them
to rot. The rotting vines and tubers
can be smelled long distance. This
disease caused the Irish Famine in
1916. 1t ragged in Wisconsin in 1902
to 1904 and has been present nearly
every year since being quite bad in
1914. The remedy is the same as for
Early Blight, spraying three or four
times with Bordeaux Solution. Po-
tatoes from an infected field should
never be used for seed as the disease
is sure to be present next year.
Common Scab is the most common
of all potato diseases and still very
little is done to remedy it. Nearly ev-
eryone seems to think it is caused by
manure in the soil. Manure may pro-
mote its growth but if the scaD or
ganism is not present there will be no
scab. Ground used for potatoes for
years becomes infested with the scab
organism and the potatoes get more
scabby every year. Rotation of crops
is the best preventative while disin-
lection of seed will eradicate the di-
sease. Soak the seed potatoes for
two hours in 30 gallons of water in
which has been dissolved four ounces

INSURANCE MEN LIST
LIBERTY BONDS AT PAP

The national convention of insur-

that in the auditing of all insurance
companies for the year ending Decem-
Der 81, 1918, par would be allowed for
all Liberty Bonds.
Financiers see in this action of the
always careful and always conserva-
tive insurance commissioners a GER
tain indication that the present low
prices of Liberty Bonds of the first
four issues are only temporary and
that the bonds are soon to go above
lar.
The action should be an incentive
TO the private owner of Liberty Bonda
to hang on.

Numerous cases of fraudulent oper-

owners are before the Federal Trade
Commission at Washington ! for in
vestigation. The commission is haV-
ing daily hearings at which testimony
is being offered by those who have
been victimized or their representa-
tives and the commission has invited
anyone who has such information to
send it in.
The first testimony considered was
a list of complaints compiled by the
Treasury Department and the Capital
issues Committee. Other data which
is TO be given the investigators has
been gathered by commercial inter
ests.

who falsely report to the commission.
The investigation is being speaded
up to protect the coming issue, the

The latest warning from the Treas
ury Department is:
DO not let the appearance or the
dress or the sex of the Liberty Bond
scalper disarm your suspicion. N
