VERMONT POTATOES GOOD.
Inspectors Who Have Visited Several
Sections Make Report.

inspectors under Commissioner OF Ag-
riculture Z. S. Brigham, have just com
pleted the first field inspection Of pota-
toes for which application was made
for seed certifcatien The number, some
thing over 1850 fields, is much larger
than that Of any previous years since
the project was started and manifests a
large development of interest in the plan.
That this interest is justified is shown
by the number Of growers from the
great Long Island and New Jersey po-
tato regions who come to this state to
look up a source for their seed supply,
situation resulting from the very high
standing which Vermont seed potatoes
have made both in experimental plots
and commercial fields in those regions.
II. r. Talmage, one of the largest and
best known growers from Riverhead, l..
L. who has Just nsdc his annual visit
through the state for the purpose above
mentioned, spoke very encouragingly of
the conditions this year, especially in
finding but small percentage Of Mosaic
disease He visited fields in the vicinity
of Rutland, Brandon, Rochester, Ran
dolph and Corinth, paying particular at
tention to the fields Of the Randolph
Potato Growers association, which ag-
gregate nearly 100 acres.
Although small percentage of fields
were necessarily eliminated from further
consideration, owing to varistal mix
ture or disease, the inspectors report the
general condition of the potatoes as good.
Leaf roll appears to be the most prev
alent disease, and all growers, whether
of inspected fields or not, are advised to
eliminate weak plants from the plots
from which they expect to prune, seed
stock. Such plants are likely to be in
fected either with leaf roll or Mosaic,
both of which are transmitted through
the seed.

Strengthen the Farmers Hands.

If we do not insist upon the best sort
of farm homes, and in every way make
it easy for those who pursue farming TO
secure and maintain Them If we do not
encourage and set up such standards Of
farm life as shall keep men and women
happy in their work and surroundings,
we will find ourselves facing disastrous
lack at the very source Of our strength
as well as our production.
To guard against such contingency
we must make good roads, better schools
and more active churches our first con.
sideration. There can be no satisfactory
farm life where transportation and so
cial intercourse are impeded by mud and
ruts. Everyone knows how many farm
ers have moved to town in order to give
their children decent school advantages.
And no student Of the last dozen years
can have failed to recognize the weak
ness of the rural church as a moral and
cultural influence in the community.
These are the three main issues to
be met. Anyone who thinks they solely
concern the farm Is blind to the major
problems of world progress The food
crops we raise on our farms during the
next ten years will largely determine the
physical welfare of half the people Of
the world. The kind Of homes we en-.
courage and make possible on these
farms will virtually influence our whole
citizenship.
II is no longer a matter of urging a
movement back to the farm That, Of
course, is necessary. But perhaps the
best and surest way of encouraging such
a trend is to get back of the farm with
all our sense and resources and make
It the most attractive, as Il is the most
valuable asset we Philadelphia
