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

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
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,
and 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-
ally popularized and disseminated.
This investigation will be of country
wide significance in improving the fu-
trre stocks Of seed potatoes.

Motor Truck Facilitate. rs.nsportat, on of Milk.

When the necessity for moving war

INERT MATERIAL IN COAL
Percentage Of Ash and Slate Reaches
Total in Tons That Few
Would Believe.

A suggestion has been made by one
of the large anthracite coal operators
that they be permitted to increase the
percentage of impurities in the coal
by per cent more than the present
standard. This means that 100000
additional tons of slate would be sent
TO market. To transport this increased
amount of impurities to market would
require about 10000 railroad cars,
neccssitating from two to ten weeks
for its delivery. The bureau of mines
has estimated that the coal mined in
the United States, in 1917, had an in
crease of per cent, as an average,
in the amount of ash, taken for the
whole country. Also, that this i'll
crease in ash content meant an addi-
tional loss of 17lA per cent in the eff
ficiency of the power plant. Further
more, in some of the mining districts
there was much higher increase in
ash than is indicated by this average.
As we mined and shipped 544 100000
tons of coal in 1917, some 27OO0,OO0
tons oe this amount were inert mate

Increased Use Of Trucks,
There can be no doubt in the mind

ist the country over, but that the next
few years will see an amazing increase
In the use Of trucks. Because speed,

LARGE FACTOR IN PROGRESS

and Bounds Until Today There
Are More Than 5000, 900 Motor
Cars in the United States.

When the first horseless carriage
appeared we looked it over curiously.
nudged each other knowingly, made
jocular remarks and went about our
business wondering what those crazy
inventors would do next. Thus began
the evolution of what is today our
third greatest industry. From the
freak stage, the automobile developed
into rich mans plaything.
Finally, after many vicissitudes, we
were forced to recognize it us n pos
sible commercial proposition.

that position is an exalted one.

tive a factor in the progress and hap
piness of humanity that it is every
family's ambition to possess one.
Logically, its production has in
creased by leaps and bounds, until to-
day there are more than 100000 au-
tomobiles in the United States alone.
They have become national neces-
dustry-to save time and widen zones
of trade.
They have brought fresh air and
the wonders of the open country to
multitudes, lessening distances and
promoting closer fellowship.
That, in brief. is the past and pres
ent of the automobile.
What, then, of the future?
We hear much less than formerly
Of the approach of n so~alled satura-
ton period-a time when so many
cars will have been built that sharp
curtailment of output must come.
Industry In Infancy.
The more we reflect, investigate and
analyze, the more our common sense
tells us that the building of cars is
still an infant industry.
In the first instance, we take into
account that which we all know to be
true; namely, that he who once owns
a car will contrive to own one as long
as he has the price.
That means, in round figures, that
more than a million automobiles must
be built this year TO replace those that
will wear out. This is on the con-
servative basis that the average car
has useful life Of five years.
The future Of the automobile Is
something for succeeding generations
to worry about-maybe-but he is a
rank pessimist who will say today
that it is anything but rosy.

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. It
lives in the soil and on the tubers,
so one or the other must usually be-
| transported to introduce the disease
into a 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
peelings 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 it from spreading. The
warts should be burned. Diseased
trbers must not be fed to live stock
without first being boiled. Infested
soil should be planted to other crops.
Potatoes should not be planted again
in infested soil for at least eight years.
Federal and state agricultural au-
thorities are working to prevent the
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, if possible, ways Of
controlling the malady, and informa-
ton will be furnished as rapidly as
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 the
United States department Of agricul-
ture.

DIFFICULTY IN WASHING CAR

The great difficulty in washing au-
tomobiles, where no water under pres

sprayer pump. and at the same time
use sponge effectively, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A large water
and alright barrel with both heads In
tact will be required. A faucet or
valve, to which hose can be attach
ed, is inserted in one of these heads.
The barrel is then placed, with the
faucet down, upon some sort OF plat
form. A hose is attached to this fau-
Get and to the nozzle of the force
pump. After the valve is opened, wa
ter should be pumped into the barrel,
until 1t is about three-fourths full. The

The potato industry is seriously
menaced by malady new to this
country-the potato wart disease. Un-
less it can be eradicated before 1t
spreads to commercial paintings,
specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture say it 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
cials.
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 1t
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 recognized; and it spreads slowly.
However, it cannot be detected un-
til the potatoes are dug, as it does
not seriously affect the growth or
vigor of the vines
1t usually appears in the eyes of the
tubers. Spreading from this point of
infection, it may gradually envelop the
whole potato and render it a 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 sall 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.
