Potato growers in the Kaw Valley
are warned by L. E. Melchers, plant
pathologist of the Kansas Agricultural
College, to thoroughly spray their
plants at once if they wish to save
them from the blight, which has been
spreading rapidly during the last week
1t is absolutely necessary that the
spraying be done thoroughly, he said,

the plans it will not prevent the dis
ease from spreading. Immediate ac-
ton on the part of the potato grower
is necessary if a serious loss in the
crop is to be averted.

you would enjoy good health make it
an invariable rule to have your bowels
move once each day whether there is
an inclination or not. II you adopt the
